Chapter 20: Hammer Brother Hasn

Sky Island

Sky Island, the Island of the Gods.

Following the orders of Lei Shen Barzab Seven, the Sky Island Council, led by Gan Full and Karpa, is allocating land to the inhabitants.

The strongest warriors of both tribes have been conscripted into the Thunder Cloud Guard to maintain order on-site.

Of course, the Thunder Cloud Guard answers only to Lei Shen.

Even though Barzab Seven could effortlessly annihilate Sky Island alone, he still tightly holds military command to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Seven came to Sky Island not to kill, but to find a quiet place to cultivate without interference from the World Government or the Marines.

Land allocation was in full swing, yet Lei Shen Barzab Seven trained his fists alone before the historical stone tablet.

To awaken Armament Haki on his own, Seven imitated Garp’s fist-training method, pounding the historical tablet with bare hands.

It is said that Garp once smashed eight mountains with his fists alone, without Armament Haki; after smashing eight mountains, he punched a pointy-headed bell pepper into a flat-headed one.

Since deciding to buy the Steel Balloon, Seven’s remaining points were insufficient to purchase Armament Haki or Observation Haki.

Unless there’s another rich guy like Hammer Brother with more points than he can spend, buying the most expensive Strike Shell.

But the probability of that is nearly zero.

……

East Sea, Windmill Village.

The East Sea is called the weakest sea precisely because of Garp, who hails from Windmill Village.

After escorting Roger to Loguetown for execution, Garp followed routine and patrolled the East Sea, eliminating every emerging pirate before returning home.

He planned to rest for a while.

Having chased Roger for most of his life, Roger’s sudden disappearance left Garp feeling aimless, as if his spirit had been abruptly drained, leaving him strangely lost.

Garp had not forgotten: when he visited Roger in Impel Down, Roger had made a request.

To avoid suspicion, Garp decided to secretly travel to Bartira Island in the South Blue after some time, to find Roger’s wife, Portgas D. Rouge.

Yet the moment Garp stepped into his old home in Windmill Village, he was stunned by what he saw.

There, in his home, a pregnant woman with long pink hair and freckles was sunbathing.

“Nani?!”

“Are you Dragon’s wife?”

Aside from his eldest son Monkey D. Dragon, Garp couldn’t imagine who else would bring a pregnant woman to live in his old home.

The woman stood and smiled: “I could be.”

“Could be?” Garp froze.

Could be means not is.

A flash suddenly lit up in Garp’s mind—he quickly shut the door and whispered: “Rouge?”

Rouge nodded.

“Sss…” Garp drew a sharp breath: “That doesn’t make sense—you shouldn’t be here in the South Blue right now?”

Roger had clearly explained it, and Garp remembered well: Bartira Island in the South Blue…

Rouge poured Garp a cup of tea: “Three months ago, Ro… he sent someone to bring me here.”

“Who?” Garp asked quickly.

“Barzab Seven.”

Upon hearing this, Garp scratched his head: “I think I’ve heard that name before.”

Rouge reminded him: “He has white hair.”

The figure in his memory suddenly sharpened—Garp muttered: “That white-haired brat who cooks incredibly well.”

As if remembering something, Rouge returned to her room and fetched a letter, handing it to Garp.

“This is what he left for you.”

Garp took the envelope and opened it, reading closely.

“To the great Marine hero, Vice Admiral Garp.”

“At Monkey D. Dragon’s request, I have delivered your daughter-in-law, Portgas D. Rouge, to your ancestral home. Dragon has named your grandson Ace. For Ace’s future growth, do not reveal his father’s identity.”

“If you dislike the name Ace, you may change it—I suggest Luffy.”

“You wouldn’t want the World Government to learn this child’s father is the Revolutionary Army’s leader, would you?”

After reading it once, Garp looked up at Rouge: “Did he tell you all this?”

Rouge nodded.

“And you agreed?”

Rouge nodded again.

Garp thought for two seconds, then lowered his head and reread the letter word by word several times before grasping its hidden meaning.

【Old Man Garp, Ace is your blood grandson】

【Stop mentioning Roger】
