The news that Saitama was going to become a marine quickly spread among the small bandit den.
Everyone's reactions were also different.
When he found out that it was the bald man invited by Garp personally, Dadan secretly found Garp while Saitama was out for a walk.
"Hey, Mr. Karp..."
Dadan pulled Garp, who was teaching three little kids, and asked furtively: "About that guy named Saitama... I admit that he looks very strong, but speaking of it, we have only known him for a few days. That’s it, what if he is a spy sent by the pirates to lurk in the navy?”
Garp was stunned: "Huh? You, a bandit, would actually consider these issues for the navy?"
"After all, he stayed with me for a few days..."
Dadan held a cigarette in his mouth and said worriedly: "If it is found that he has a problem in the future, it may also affect me..."
"Hahaha, don't worry, Dadan!"
Garp clasped his hands on his chest and grinned: "It is indeed possible that he is deliberately pretending to prevent Ace and Sabo from eating the King's meal in order to get closer to me, but he will repair the door that has been damaged by others. That is absolutely impossible." This is not something a vicious villain would do, especially if he is as powerful as he is... "
Dadan wanted to say something else, but Garp immediately interrupted her.
"A righteous person is as dazzling as the sun no matter where he is. I will never miss him!"
After saying that, Garp stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance: "Look, that guy is back!"
Dadan subconsciously looked in the direction of Garp's finger.
There, a shiny bald head reflected dazzling light under the sun!
Dadan immediately opened his mouth in shock: "Ah! As expected of Mr. Karp, that guy... is really as dazzling as the sun!"
Garp laughed proudly: "Hahaha... I'm right, right?"
From a distance, Saitama greeted Garp.
"Yo, Mr. Karp."
Garp nodded as if admiring a perfect junior: "Welcome back, private!"
Seeing Saitama getting closer and closer, Garp thought of his son Ryuu again... The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he sighed sadly.
Really…
That brat was supposed to be in the navy...
And Luffy was also led astray by that Shanks guy, and he had to correct it in time!
…
Saitama returned to the bandits' den and was about to enter the room.
But two small figures suddenly stood in front of him. They were Sabo and Ace. Luffy saw them from behind and immediately ran over and stood side by side with them, raising his head and glaring at Saitama.
Saitama scratched his head inexplicably: "...What are you doing?"
"Is it true that you're going to be a marine?"
Ace let out a loud "poof", his eyes full of disdain: "You actually become a lackey of the World Government, I really look down on you!"
Sabo also didn't understand: "You are so strong, why don't you go to the sea to pursue freedom?"
Luffy echoed from the side: "Why not become a pirate?"
"Pirates..."
Saitama tilted his head and thought for a while: "I have read a lot of newspapers these days and learned that people in this world face threats from pirates every day, and the righteous navy is stationed all over the world to protect people's lives and property..."
"Hey, those are all lies!"
Ace took a step back dissatisfied, waved his hand and said, "Pirates are free sea warriors, men recognized by the world!"
Next to him, Luffy clapped quickly: "Well said, Ace!"
Unfortunately, none of the three of them noticed that there was already an old man behind him who was ready to roll up his sleeves and give them a good beating.
…
"But why pirates?"
Ace was stunned: "What?"
Saitama asked with some confusion: "If you want to be a man, why do you have to be a pirate?"
"Then do you still need to explain!?"
Aisley shouted confidently: "Of course it's because the sea is a man's romance, and pirates are the freest and unrestrained sea warriors!"
"That's it..."
Saitama thought for a while and then said: "Actually... I have met a person similar to you. This world is also very similar to my world. Weird people do whatever they want in the name of "freedom", while the heroes of the association do whatever they want for We fight desperately to protect people every day. Although there are some characters among heroes that people don’t agree with, there are still countless real heroes who are willing to risk their lives for the belief of justice and deserve my recognition... "
Ace was very dissatisfied and said angrily: "What did you say!? Are you saying that we are doing random things in the name of freedom!?"
"Calling yourself a pirate is the same as calling yourself a weirdo."
The bald head thought of the guy who went on a hero hunt and claimed to be a weirdo: "Although he has done some good things, it is true that he has caused obstacles and harm to the heroes. In fact, you two did act recklessly before, just like we just met. At that time, you were eating the king's meal, and you were enjoying your freedom, but should those who were harmed by you accept their fate? Isn't this wrong? "
"I don't deny that you're not that bad."
Saitama looked at the two little brats seriously and said slowly: "But for many things, if something is wrong, it is wrong. No matter what you are pursuing, it is not a reason to hurt others."
Finished talking
Garp's eyes immediately lit up: "Well said, private!"
Ace, on the other hand, covered his ears and refused to listen. Luffy beside him also blinked cutely, not knowing what was happening.
But Sabo, who was standing with them, gradually opened his eyes.
Suddenly there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in my mind!
"Right, that is it!"
Sabo's young mind was like a turmoil: "This is the freedom I pursue. I hate this ruthless country, but those people living in the kingdom are innocent. What I want to destroy is imprinted in the bones of the nobles." Ignorance and greed, they rule the world but are indifferent and emotionless... No matter how messed up Ace and I are, nothing can be changed in the end. The freedom I want is to bring everyone the freedom to control their own destiny! "
"Mr. Saitama!"
Sabo suddenly stood up and said with a very serious face: "Thank you for your teaching! But in order to pursue that freedom, my strength is not enough... not enough! Please accept me as your disciple and teach me how to become like Teacher, you must be such a strong person!"
"Saab, you...?"
Ace looked at Sabo and suddenly felt betrayed, and said angrily: "Don't you want to go to sea? We have already agreed..."
"I will still go to sea!"
The eyes on Sabo's small face were firmer than ever before: "But instead of becoming a pirate, I want to change the world so that all people can pursue their own freedom!"
