"Come here! Call me uncle!"
Roja's words suddenly made Luffy and Ace curl their lips. 』』
Ace directly folded his hands on his chest and looked at Roja like an adult, while Luffy on the other side made a face directly at Roja.
"Never!"
"Little bastard..."
Seeing this, Roja pretended to snort, walked up to Luffy, followed Garp's example, and hit Luffy's head with a fist.
"It hurts!!"
Luffy screamed in pain again and almost burst into tears. He held his head in a frenzy and looked at Roja, saying: "Why am I like grandpa! I'm obviously a rubber, why does it still hurt so much!"
Roja was too lazy to talk to Luffy, a rebellious little devil.
Ace on the other side looked at this scene and suddenly became dissatisfied. It didn't matter if Garp beat Luffy, but this 'uncle' who came out of nowhere also beat Luffy. As an older brother, he immediately saw that Can't go down anymore.
"Hey! You guy..."
Ace stood there, showing hostility towards Roja, with cold eyes, and said: "I heard that you seem to be a very strong navy, so how about we compete!"
Compared to Garp, Roja's figure was much thinner, and he didn't look powerful. Moreover, Roja didn't show any aura at this time. To Ace, he looked like an ordinary person.
Ace had fought many ferocious pirates in the garbage mountain before. With so many bloody memories, Ace was obviously much more mature than Luffy.
"Yes! Ace! Hit him!"
Luffy was jumping to the side, covering his head, and said: "As long as we defeat this guy, it will prove that we are stronger than the navy!"
Garp beats up Luffy all day long, and wants Luffy to become a marine, but Luffy, who is rebellious, is completely opposed to it. He originally wanted to be a pirate, but being beaten up by Garp every day, of course he hates being a marine.
From the perspective of Luffy's simple brain circuit.
As long as he defeats Roya, who Garp calls an outstanding navy guy, and proves that he is better than the navy, Garp will probably not let him become a navy man.
But what responded to them was Roya's disdainful gaze.
"Two little bastards, let's play together."
"asshole… "
Hearing Roya call them that, Ace and Luffy immediately became angry and became even more hostile towards Roya. They each clenched their fists and looked like they wanted to fight Roya.
But at this moment, the huge ape behind them suddenly roared and rushed towards the two people. He slapped Luffy over first, and then continued to hit Ace.
"Luffy!"
Ace also didn't expect that the giant ape would suddenly come over. Now he didn't care about causing trouble to Roya anymore, and immediately concentrated on avoiding the giant ape's attack.
But the strength of this giant ape is really good. Even if Ace and Luffy were put together, they would still be beaten all over the head and couldn't beat him no matter what.
"So strong..."
Luffy and Ace both fell there in a state of embarrassment after being beaten. Although they were unwilling to do so, their physical strength was exhausted and it was difficult to stand up again.
When the giant ape saw both of them falling, he patted his chest with great joy and pride, stood there and roared to the sky.
And at this time.
Roja, who was sitting on a big rock nearby and dozing off out of boredom, was disturbed by the giant ape's roar and glared at it.
"It's so noisy, shut up!"
The giant ape's roar stopped abruptly.
There was a slight trace of sweat on its forehead, and there was a hint of fear in its eyes when it looked at Roja, as if Roja's scolding made it see some extremely terrifying scene.
This scene fell in the eyes of Luffy and Ace, and they were both stunned. They didn't expect Roja to be able to scold this giant ape. All this time, this giant ape only listened to Garp's words.
Although he couldn't understand the feeling of the giant ape at this moment, Ace clearly felt strange.
Luffy on the other side blinked and asked Roja with a cute expression:
"Um... can you beat this guy?!"
"it?"
Roja glanced at the giant ape and said, "I can kill ten."
"boast!"
Luffy immediately curled his lips with an expression of disbelief.
Luo Ya sat there lazily and yawned, then waved to the giant ape over there and said, "Hey, do you think I can beat you ten times?"
The giant ape blinked and made a very human gesture of nodding.
"Here."
Roja shrugged and continued to doze against the stone.
Luffy:"… "
Ace: "..."
After a while, Luffy and Ace, who were exhausted, regained some strength and stood up.
At this time, Garp finally came back and laughed at the three of them.
"Hey, how are you getting along?!"
"… not so good."
Roja glanced at Garp with a lazy look, stood up, and said: "It's better to leave them to Uncle Garp to teach them slowly, and I won't accompany them."
As he spoke, Roja prepared to leave.
Seeing Roja getting ready to leave, Garp touched his head, smiled at Roja, and said, "You brat, are you in such a hurry? Let's have a meal before leaving."
"OK."
Roya nodded and prepared lunch with Garp.
During this meal, Roja was able to see Luffy's 'big stomach' ability. He was indeed able to eat more than he did before, and perhaps it had something to do with the rubber fruit.
Roja no longer needs to eat a lot of high-calorie meat to replenish his body's energy. His main power now comes from his soul, not his body anymore.
After lunch, Roja was ready to leave.
Garp seems to have felt that Roja is completely different from the past. Leaving this time may very well turn the world and the sea upside down.
Garp took Luffy and Ace and sent Roya all the way to the beach. Then he stopped and smiled at Roya.
"Don't worry about anything, just go and have a great time according to your own ideas."
"You have said this three times."
Roja curled his lips at Garp. His words made Garp feel embarrassed, and he secretly cursed Roja in his heart. After all, this brat has not changed at all.
This is an empty coast with no boats on the beach.
Luffy looked at Roya walking toward the sea with some strangeness, and couldn't help but ask: "How is he going to go without a boat?"
Ace on the side also showed a puzzled look. Roja walked towards the sea like this. This was not going to the sea. It looked like he committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea.
"Hahaha, he doesn't need a boat."
When Garp heard Luffy's words, he couldn't help but grin. He felt a little happy in his heart. It had only been four short years, and now Roya was enough to cross the ocean alone.
Wow! !
Roja put his foot in the water, and it did not sink. Instead, the water splashed everywhere. Then Roja continued to walk forward, walking on the water and crossing the waves.
"On the water..."
"Amazing!"
This scene finally made Luffy and Ace show a bit of strangeness. It seemed that Roja, the navy that Garp said was particularly outstanding, did have some abilities.
Garp watched Roja walking away through the water. After taking a deep breath, he turned to look at Ace and Luffy.
"Okay, let's go."
After saying this, Garp was ready to leave with Luffy and Ace.
But!
At this moment, both Luffy and Ace had horrified expressions on their faces. Their eyes widened and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, showing signs of horror.
In the distance, I saw Luo Ya, who was already walking on the water and away from the coast. The water in front of him suddenly crashed and surged.
Wow! !
A huge sea monster, dozens of meters long, appeared in front of Roja!
"Sea monster?!"
"Oops... Oops!!"
Both Luffy and Ace were a little horrified. Although they were somewhat hostile to Roja, they were not indifferent to watching Roja being eaten by the sea monster.
