At the same time.

The news of Garp's death spread all over the world, even in the remote areas of the East Blue, of course.

In a wooden house on Mount Colubo.

A group of pirates from Dadan's family whispered softly around a newspaper barrier like they were stealing chickens and dogs.

"Unexpectedly... So Garp still has this level of identity."

"No wonder he gave Luffy to us bandits to train him..."

"Hah, Garp is so powerful, how could he die?"

"What should I do now? Should I tell Luffy this news?"

"Of course you can't tell him! He's an idiot. If you let him know this news, who knows what stupid things he'll do?"

At this moment, a hearty voice sounded from behind the group of bandits in a circle: "I'm back! Come and see what I hunted today? Everyone has a good time today!"

All the bandits were shocked on the spot!

All the gangs scrambled for the report obstacle in the middle in a very tacit understanding.

In the process of snatching, the report was inevitably torn by everyone.

They immediately tried their best to hide the part they grabbed.

Some stuffed into the mouth.

Some hide behind them.

Some stuffed into clothes and so on.

"Huh? What are you guys watching together? What's so interesting? I'll watch too!"

The bandits were startled again, turned around one after another, stood up straight, and squeezed out a smile with a very stiff expression: "No...No! We're not looking at anything!"

Luffy walked towards the crowd with a suspicious look on his face.

Everyone dared not look directly at Luffy.

Either his eyes are erratic, or he is whistling.

"Huh—?! Boss Dadan, what is in your mouth?"

Curly Dadan grunted, and without thinking, he directly swallowed the share of the report that she had captured, and then opened her mouth to show her innocence: "No! Ah-~ Look, there's nothing in my mouth?"

Luffy was stunned.

This time, it aroused his curiosity even more.

He started to snatch the 'mysterious objects' hidden by the other bandits everywhere, even the ones that were in their mouths, and forcibly opened other people's mouths.

"I don't care! I want to see it! You give it to me!!"

"No, no! Luffy, there really isn't any, so don't look for it!"

"Yes, we have nothing to hide!"

A group of pirates are hiding behind some furniture, and some even want to escape outside the house.

But with Luffy's current strength and speed, why did they say they would run away if they wanted to? Luffy captured all the pirates alive in three places and twice, and everyone couldn't take him.

After grabbing all the hidden reports, Luffy even smiled slyly: "Hehe, let me see what it is, making you two so mysterious..."

After saying that, he began to spread the robbed newspaper barrier on the ground.

Put those reported obstacles together like a jigsaw puzzle.

"Luffy, don't look at it! There's nothing to see!"

"Yes, Luffy! The news in this issue is full of nonsense, nothing to see!"

All the bandits said that, but all of them stretched their necks and stared at the newspaper puzzle on the ground.

They prayed secretly in my heart, hoping that the most crucial part of the content had already been swallowed by Curly Dadan just now.

After a while.

The newspaper was spelled back to its original shape.

The bandits gritted their teeth and showed pity.

Things are of course not so coincidental.

The content of Garp is finally shown in Luffy's eyes.

Seeing the contents of the newspaper, the corner of Luffy's mouth that had been raised gradually fell.

The mood also changed from the original joy to fear.

"What's going on? How could this happen...?" His eyes widened, he kept repeating these two sentences, shaking his head, his face full of disbelief.

"Luffy, don't read it, these newspapers have been reporting some unreliable news lately, and if you believe it, you will just worry yourself!"

"Yes, yes, Vice Admiral Garp is so powerful, he will definitely be fine."

"Luffy, don't think too much, let's have a full meal!"

"What's going on?! Who can tell me, what's going on?!!" Luffy yelled, then turned and rushed out of the house.

Curly Dadan saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Quickly stop him!"

All the bandits rushed towards Luffy. Unfortunately, this was not 7 years ago.

Seven years ago, the bandits of Dadan's family could rely on the strength of the crowd to stop Ace, who was seriously injured and on the verge of madness.

On this day 7 years later, they couldn't even match them.

Not to mention that Luffy is in perfect condition today.

The result was that although the bandits were all around Luffy's body, they were dragged out by Luffy forcibly.

Luffy becomes a lot slower.

The bandits refused to let go.

Even though their bodies were rubbing the ground, they held onto him tightly.

"Luffy! Don't be stupid! What's reported in the newspapers may not be true!"

"Yes, Luffy! Calm down first! We'll make a decision after discussing the countermeasures! Even if you want to take revenge, you still need to know who to seek revenge!"

No matter what the bandits say, Luffy doesn't care.

"Let me go! You all let me go!"

And just when the bandits were about to despair, Luffy's footsteps suddenly stopped, because Li Yaoxiang's voice also sounded in his mind at the same time.

And also pull Luffy's consciousness into the consciousness space.

"Where are you going? Are you going to die?"

In the space of consciousness. As soon as he saw Li Yaoxiang, Luffy rushed over and held on to Li Yaoxiang's clothes.

"Big brother? Big brother! You must know the truth, right?! Tell me quickly, what happened?! Did he really die- grandpa?! Also, what Revolutionary Army leader?! What's going on? Isn't my grandfather in the marine? Is the content in the newspapers true or false?!"

"The content in the newspaper can be said to be true or false."

"???"

"Your grandfather is indeed dead."

"…"

"However, he is not the leader of the Revolutionary Army as the newspapers say. All of this is a lie made up by the World Government in order to attack your grandfather. Besides, it is not just your grandfather. Next, they will even do something to you, to the people around you."

"World Government...what is a World Government?! What the hell is going on? Why are they doing to me?!"

"Luffy, do you know what the Revolutionary Army is?"

Luffy was dazed and did not answer.

"Everything you have experienced before, including a large number of mermaids being captured as slaves, the marine's oppression of civilians, the burning of the Gray Terminal by the king of the Goa Kingdom, and the people who want to kill the Gray Terminal, etc., all of this is because the World Government shelters and condones. Every year, there are countless people or races who have been tortured by the World Nobles, the leading group of the World Government. Even Sabo back then was ordered to be killed by the World Nobles. The fundamental reason was simply that the World Nobles at the time felt that Sabo's ships were an eyesore. The so-called Revolutionary Army is a group of people who want to overthrow everything, especially the World Nobles, and change the world..."

"This...this...what does this have to do with the World Government's actions against me and my grandfather?"

"Because your father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon."

Hearing this, Luffy was completely dumbfounded.

Li Yaoxiang didn't mean to give him time to digest the information, and continued: "The World Government wants to eradicate your father, so they just made up a crime and started to attack your grandfather. And you will also be their next target."

"…"

The weight of messages is too heavy.

Luffy was still confused, and he couldn't understand what was going on.

He only knew one thing, his grandfather was wronged!

His grandfather was killed!

After figuring out the most crucial points, his dazed expression gradually turned into anger.

He wants revenge!

He wants to avenge Grandpa!

However, just as he was about to go crazy, Li Yaoxiang continued: "What's the matter? Want revenge? Do you know who your enemy is? Do you know how powerful your enemy is? Or do you think... anger and madness can solve the problem?"

Hearing this, Luffy collapsed.

Tears could not stop flowing.

"What can I do without revenge? What else can I do? Is that the case?!" Luffy has never felt as helpless and weak as he does now.

Weak and young, I know that my grandfather was wronged and killed, and I can't do anything.

He knelt on the ground, helpless, crying.

"The only thing you can do now is to work hard to become stronger. Become so powerful that everyone is afraid of you and dare not do anything to you or the people around you."

That is right.

The reason which Luffy also understands.

But still can't stop the grief in Luffy's heart.

One by one dead relatives and friends, now all came to his mind one by one.

Otohime, Sabo, Kaya's parents, Kuina, Garp...

"Powerful? Is power useful? Everyone is dead, so what if I become powerful? Can they come back?"

"Can."

Li Yaoxiang was caught off guard, causing Luffy to stop crying on the spot. He was stunned for a while, then raised his head and looked at Li Yaoxiang stupidly, as if to confirm whether there was something wrong with his ears? Am I hallucinating?

"As long as you are strong enough, even if they die, they can still be resurrected."

Luffy rolled and crawled to his feet, and held on to Li Yaoxiang's clothes again, "Big brother, really? Can someone really be resurrected after death?"

"Over the years, I have taken you to so many places, haven't you seen it? Just like you became a rubber man, there are all kinds of strange abilities in this world, who can guarantee that there is no ability to resurrect the dead?"

"Big brother, what about you?! You are so powerful, can you also resurrect others?"

"I can."

Luffy just had a flash of inspiration and asked casually.

But he didn't want to, but the two words can really come out of Li Yaoxiang's mouth.

He looked confused, excited, and very complicated.

Confused because, since the big brother can resurrect others, why didn't he help him resurrect his mother and resurrect Sabo...

Excited because, since Big Brother can resurrect, doesn't everyone don't have to die?!

But before he could say anything, Li Yaoxiang's next sentence was a blow to him: "But...why should I resurrect them?"

Luffy opened his mouth.

Silly...

The whole person is dumbfounded...

"As long as you haven't solved the root cause of the problem one day, the same thing will keep repeating itself. The World Government will target you, and the people around you will die because of you one by one. What will you do then? Resurrect and die again. Do you expect me to resurrect them every time?"

Luffy's face paled a bit...

"Then...then...the big brother, how can you help me resurrect?"

"Kill! Kill everyone! Kill all the guys who may be targeting you! Kill all the guys who are doing bad things! Only by killing them can you minimize everyone's danger! At that time... I promise you, I will help you resurrect the people you care about."

Luffy didn't think much of it, and immediately agreed.

"Big brother, then you must help me resurrect! You must help me resurrect! I promise you! I will definitely become stronger and kill them all!"

"Luffy, think seriously. I'm not talking about ten, a hundred or a thousand. I'm talking about the lives of hundreds of millions of people! Do you know how many hundreds of millions of people are? Are you sure you can really be ruthless?"

Luffy took two steps back.

His hands were powerless to hold Li Yaoxiang's clothes again.

The whole person was sluggish.

The scene turns.

Luffy's mind returned to reality again.

The bandits were all worried when they saw that Luffy was suddenly dumbfounded.

He shook his hand in front of Luffy a few times.

"Luffy? Luffy?"

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me, just leave me alone." Luffy said dumbly, then turned around and left.

A group of bandits saw that Luffy was no longer as out of control as before, and they did not stop him.

It's just that they don't understand the situation, why Luffy suddenly becomes like this...

In the days that followed, although Luffy would eat, sleep, and exercise as usual, he kept this sluggish or silent state.

Dadan's bandits came to talk to him, but he didn't respond.

Curly Dadan came to comfort him, but he still didn't respond.

Li Yaoxiang did not communicate with him either.

Days go by day by day.

One month later…

As the days go by, Luffy's darkening level is slowly increasing every day at a slight rate.

Until a day in three years.

A loud explosion suddenly came from a certain jungle in Colubo Mountain: "Rubber—— 32 Brick Fist!"

Boom!

Smoke billows.

A large area of the jungle was smashed into ruins by Luffy's rubber 32 Brick Fist.

Luffy's face finally returned to his old smile.

It's just that Luffy's smile and eyes at this time are mixed with a ruthless meaning that was not there 3 years ago! He took the initiative to contact Li Yaoxiang in his mind: "Big brother, I will kill! As long as the people around me are okay, even if the group of scumbags die 100 million or 200 million, I don't care!"
