Garp: "Luffy, don't you have something to say to apologize to me!?"
Marine HQ Vice Admiral Monkey D Garp (Garp of the Fist)
Luffy: "........!!"
Nami: "Garp's name... he's the Hero of the Marines!"
Sanji: "Luffy! Is he really your grandpa!?"
Luffy: "Yeah! Whatever you do, don't attack him!! You'll be killed.......!!! A long time ago, I was almost killed by grandpa many times."
Garp: "Hey hey, don't put it that way. The reason I threw you down that cliff, the reason why I attached you to a baloon and sent you flying to some sky, the reason why I sent you to the dense forests in the night... they were all for the sake of making you into a strong man!!!"
Sanji: ".......I think... I now understand the reason for Luffy's strength and dextirity now...!!"
Garp: "In the end I gave you and Ace up to a friend of mine for you two to train, but once my eyes left you, this happens... I trained you so one day you would be a strong marine!!!"
Luffy: "I told you, I always wanted to be a Pirate!!!"
Garp: "Poisoned by the Redhair's influence!!! Idiot!"
Luffy: "Sha... Shanks saved my life! Don't talk bad about him!!!"
Garp: "Don't talk to your grandpa with that tone!!! (tries to punch him)"
Luffy: "Gyaaaaaaaa! Sorry!!!!!"
Chopper: "This is ba------d! Luffy was captured by the Marines!!!"
Luffy & Garp: "Zzzzz...."
Everyone: "What!!? They've fallen asleep!!!"
Garp wakes up first and starts scolding the still sleeping luffy and punches him awake again.
Ussop is looking on the scene discreetly
Usopp: "So Luffy's grandpa was a Marine of the HQ!! Some interesting stuff is going on."
Garp: "Besides, don't you know what kind of pirate the Redhair is!? You!!"
Luffy: "...!? Shanks!? Is Shanks and everyone all right!? Where are they!?"
Garp: "All right, you ask..."
Garp: "Among the countless number of pirates, he is among the Four Great Pirates who stands equal to Whitebeard. We call them, the ones who hold reign over the second half of Grandline as if they were Emperors themselves the "Four Emperors"!!!
Garp: "In order to hold those four in check, the Marine HQ and the Ouka Shichibukai stands together! When the Three Powers loses their balance the peace of the world is directly threatened. They hold that much power.
Luffy: "I don't quite understand, but as long as he's okay. Ahh, brings back memories..."
Robin: "He holds a connection to that Redhair...!?"
Luffy: "I had no idea the person he's borrowing the strawhat from was someone so famous..."
Townspeople: "T... this way, Zoro-san."
Zoro: "Dammit, the Marines are already here!!"
Zoro arrives.
Garp: "Hm? What's the matter!!!"
???: "He must be the Bounty Zoro the Pirate Hunter."
Garp: "Ah, Luffy's friends. How energetic. Well then... you two, try to stop them...!!"
Two: "Yes sir!!"
One of them pounces
(blades clash)
Zoro: "Kukuri knives, you have something interesting."
??: "Hiya! Hai! Hai! (Zoro blocks attacks)"
Luffy: "Hey!! Zoro, wait!!! No need to fight!"
At the same time the kick of the other one hits him.
Luffy: "Ack!!? Dammit, you, what do you think you're doing!!"
??: "Soru." (dodges Luffy's attack)
Luffy: "...this technique..."
Luffy captures the man who attacks from behind. Zoro also has won against his attacker.
Garp: "Bwahahahaha! You stood no chance!"
??: "You sure are strong... so great!! I admit my defeat... Luffy-san, Zoro-san, long time no see. Do you remember who I am?"
Luffy: "? Who are you?"
Coby: "It's me!! Coby!! Don't you remember!?"
Luffy: ...Coby?
A shot of Coby's old look
Luffy: Coby? Coby's my friend...but I only recognize the small Coby.
Coby: I'm that Coby! That weak and crybaby kid!
Zoro: ...That Coby!? Why are you here in the Grandline!?
Coby: I haven't been made an admiral yet...! But I heard that you two were near by! So I couldn't sit still! We're where we're at today because of you two!
Helmeppo: Hn! Something like that.
Coby: A lot has happened, now we're under the command of Vice Admiral Garp at the Marine HQ!
Luffy: Really! But, you have really grown, you really surprised me. You used to be chubby!
Coby: Here we are trying to meet you with you still tired from the event, sorry about that!
Luffy: No problem! Long time no see, lets party!
Helmeppo: Hey! You people! Don't ignore me!
Zoro: Who are you?
Helmeppo: It's me!
LuffY: Who?
Helmeppo: I'm Helmeppo! Captain Morgan's son Helmeppo!
Zoro: ?
Helmeppo: You know, the one who tied you up and wanted to kill you! Roronoa Zoro!
Luffy and Zoro tilt their heads
Helmeppo: At that time! The stupid son who bullied everyone!
Zoro: Ah....it's you.
Helmeppo: Hey!
Garp: "Well then... everyone, fix the walls."
Everyone: "Wha--------!!? That's so selfish of you. If we were going to fix it then why did you destroy it in the first place!!?"
Garp: "Well, it's more cool if you enter that way!!"
Everyone: "Don't destroy walls for that kind of reason. Well okay, we'll fix it, but you must help us too, okay!!?"
Garp: "Wha--------!!? Oh all right."
Garp and the Marines start to fix the wall.
Sanji: "Isn't your grandpa supposed to be someone important?"
Luffy: "Dunno, I don't know much about his work."
Garp: "That reminds me, Luffy, I heard you met your pops."
Luffy: "Eh? Pops? I had a father?"
Garp: "Sheesh, so he didn't even bother telling you his name... he told me he saw you off at Louge Town! Your father's name is Monkey D. Dragon. A revolutionist."
Everyone: "Ehhh~~~~~~~~~~!?"
Everyone: "T... that revolutionist Dragon had a son!!?"
Coby: "Luffy-san is that Dragon's child!!?"
Hellmeppo: "Then...!! Dragon is Vice Admiral Garp's child!!? What the hell is wrong with this family!!!"
Luffy: "Hey, what's wrong everyone?"
Sanji: "Idiot!! You don't know the name Dragon!!?"
Nami: "You father!! He's a very famous man!!"
Ussop is surprised.
Robin: "Pirates... there are none who try to ever try to mount an assult directly against the government and the Marines, but there is a power that moves to seek the destruction of the "World Government". The man who stands at the top of the revolutionary army... that's Dragon.
Robin: "Now, his ideals have spread into many different nations, and he is initiating revolutions in many kingdoms and already many countries have fallen. The government has been of course angered by his actions... and they have labeled Dragon as the world's worst Criminal and have been searching for him ever since. He's a man who's true identity has remained blanketed in mystery... but."
Luffy: "But??"
Garp: "Ah!! I guess saying that kind of stuff was bad!! Bwahahahahaha! Forget what I said."
Everyone: "Ehhh~~~~~~~~~~!?"
