Luffy and Rain carried the huge fish home under the shocked eyes of the villagers. Luffy smiled all the way and was often asked, "Did you guys catch this fish?" Luffy said that he and Rain caught the fish together in the ocean.
The villager gave Rain and Luffy an odd look, how could two 4-year-olds catch such a huge fish !? Some villagers didn't believe it and thought they were lucky, as the fish might have got stuck on land and they just found it. They couldn't understand how these little children could carry such a huge fish! Luffy ignored the looks of those around him and kept walking forward. However, Rain knew perfectly well what they meant by these strange looks, they were all perplexed.
It didn't take long for Luffy and Rain to reach their home. "Ahh, looks like we're going to have to chop this fish to pieces." "This fish couldn't get through the front door with that size, it was just too big for that.
- Hell!" Rein started to think deeply, he remembered the man in the village and from the anime named Gyoru1, he saw him before when he was 2 years old, and even kept them with Luffy. Luffy did not remember anything at the age of 2, but Rain was different, he remembered everything in all his age cycles. This man was a fishmonger, so it would be a better choice to get his help in butchering this fish. "Luffy, we will have to go to Mr. Gyoru for help so he can butcher this fish properly. Luffy looked at Rain and nodded in agreement.
"Let's take this big fish to his shop in the village, he always goes fishing 3 days a week." Rain and Luffy dragged the fish back, but Luffy was already getting tired of dragging it. Rain, on the other hand, wasn't tired at all, it could have been due to his daily push-up workout, he started his job when he was 3 years old.
The only reason he started training was because of his crazy grandfather Garp throwing them into dangerous places on a whim, for the last time they were both thrown into a deep hole and had to crawl out alive!
A few minutes later, they both arrived at a fish store that had a huge fish made of wood. "Damn, are my eyes deceiving me? Two little boys carry fish twice their size, ahh, I've seen a lot in my life, but this is the first time! " - An old man passing by looked at them in shock. Luffy and Rain did not hear what the man said as they walked to the pier near Gyoru's fishing shop.
- That makes sense, old chap. These two little boys are Garp's grandchildren, they are by no means normal. " -There was a middle-aged man who had set up a food stand nearby. He recognized these two little boys as they were very popular when they were born. It also took into account the fact that they were the only children in this village to speak of.
"Damn it, this old man Garp can still move like he's in his thirties or forties, and I need a cane to walk." The unfamiliar old man sighed, he really was too old and even felt somewhat useless.
Meanwhile, Luffy and Rain walked around the back of the house and saw a middle-aged man pulling a net ashore. The middle-aged man was wearing a beige shirt under a green fishing suit with a pink string around his forehead. The middle-aged man was clearly Gyoru, and it wasn't hard to spot Luffy and Rein carrying such a large fish with their heavy steps.
"Wow, this is Rain and Luffy, my little friends!" Gyoru said happily, but his face changed a bit when he saw the huge fish they were carrying. When was the last time he caught such a whopper?
"Luffy, put the fish right here." - As soon as Luffy heard what Rain said, he immediately dropped the fish to the ground with a tired expression.
"Ugh, I thought my hands would fall off, ha ha!" Luffy laughed in relief. Luffy and Rain were dressed almost identically, making it difficult to tell them apart.
"Sorry, Mr. Gyoru, but we just need your help to butcher this fish." - Rain did not beat around the bush and explained to Dier what he needed.
"Wow, of course I can cut it for you guys." - Gyoru immediately agreed. "Where did you get this big fish, at least from which part of this village did you catch it?" - Gyoru was curious and asked.
"We were fishing near a small forest with worms." "We'll leave him here for you to take care of, and then we'll come back for him." "Gyoru would just cut it into pieces and wrap the meat up to give it back.
"Okay, kids, come back later, and I'll prepare everything for you." - Gyoru said.
Rain looked at Gyora and asked, "Um, how much will it cost us?"
- It doesn't mean anything to me, you two little guys brought this big fish here yourself and even caught it yourself. This is due to the house, so don't worry, come back later. " Gyoru waved his hand, making it clear that this was not a problem.
"Wow, what a nice old man, thank you, Gyoru!" Luffy smiled and said:
- With ... old man! " - Gyoru stumbled a little, this guy even confused his name! Gyoru looked at Luffy's innocent expression, he had long loved the two and knew that Luffy was not calling him an old man on purpose.
Rain saw the surprise on Gyoru's face and grabbed Luffy to run away before yelling, "See you later!" Gyoru's eyebrows twitched slightly, but then he shook his head with a smile.
After a few minutes, Luffy and Rain returned home. -Ah, Rain. This fish was so heavy. " And then Luffy looked at it the other way: "I can't wait to eat it, hehe! There was so much meat on it and it looked so juicy! " Luffy began to drool over the fish.
-Yes of course". Rain thought for a moment and said, "Luffy, what do you want to be when you grow up?" What do you dream about?" - Rain already knew who he would be, but he wanted to confirm it, he heard him mention this many times when Garp asked, and each time he received a blow to the head.
-I'll be a meat taster or a pirate !! Rain, you can be my first crew member if I become a pirate, hehe !! " Luffy laughed with a stupid expression on his face and spoke with a confidence that a child usually did not have at such an early age.
-What the .... Get out, who would join your team, clown! " Rain grinned. But what the hell is a meat taster, and what kind of job is it anyway?
"Then what will you become when you get older, Rain?" Luffy asked curiously. Rain never said who he wanted to be, even when Garp asked. Of course, Garp told them that when they grew up, he would send them to the Marines, but Rain immediately refused. This led to some dire consequences!
"Hmm, I don't know, I think I'll be a pirate hunter until I choose who I want to be." Being a pirate hunter seemed funny, killing a few villains was not a bad idea, while making some serious income. Of course, as a pirate, he could just rob a few people or some naval outpost or headquarters, but why do that?
"A pirate hunter?" - Luffy seems to have thought a little. "Um, are you going to hunt me down if I become a pirate too?" Luffy looked dazed after a moment's thought: would his own brother be hunting him? If this is the case, then he will have no choice but to run, he would rather run away than fight someone he loves, such as family or really close friends.
"You don't have to worry about this, I won't hunt my own family." "I'm probably going to be a pirate — not a cheesy Marine, ha ha!" Like, who in their right mind would want to be a Marine !? "
Luffy and Rain looked at each other and burst out laughing. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared from nowhere above them. "Ha, what the ..." Before he could finish, Luffy and Raine were quickly knocked down.
Bon !!
Bon !!
- Aaaa! " Both Luffy and Rain cried out in pain caused by the surprise attack.
Rain and Luffy fell to the ground, rolling in pain. Suddenly, two knobby lumps appeared on both of their heads! "Damn, it hurts!" Rain screamed in pain, the attack so rapid that he could not even see her image.
"Oh, you little brat, don't even think about it." "Of course it could only be Garp! When did this old man sneak up behind them and how long did he listen to them?
Luffy quickly stood up and waved his fist in protest. "I ... I will be the king of pirates, the strongest of them ..." Luffy wanted to finish, but got hit in the head again.
- Ay, ay, wow! " Luffy had tears in his eyes from the knock and he rolled on the ground in pain.
- Damn it, old man! This is child abuse, you cannot do that, it is illegal! " Rain stood up and also protested in Luffy's defense, but was quickly met with a blow to the head!
- Ahhh! Bliiiiin! " Rain rolled on the ground in pain.
"Trust me, joining the Marines is an amazing thing. Catching criminals and saving the world is the best feeling in the world, I do it for both of you! This is the power of my love fist, it will strengthen you mentally and physically. " "Garp told the truth, of course Rain knew that his words were full of shit, and Garp himself also knew that what he said was actually nonsense.
"Damn it, now I have bumps on my head!" Rain was unhappy and went to help Luffy up, who was still writhing in pain on the ground.
-Hmm, I'm starving, but where is the food? Makino usually leaves something behind, but today I came a little unexpectedly, ha ha ha! " Garp laughed and headed for the corner of the house. "I'm going to take a nap, so don't make any noise here." - Garp fell asleep immediately after his statement. His snoring was loud enough to wake a dead man!
"Damn it, I need some ice for these knots on my head, it hurts too much." Rain already knew what Luffy had to go through as a child, but Garp did it to temper Luffy.
Time passed quickly and Garp was still asleep, Makino was supposed to return home in about 30 minutes. Rain and Luffy took advantage of this time to travel to Gyoru's shop and retrieve the fish they had left with him. Gyoru did what they wanted and cut the fish into pieces.
Just as they walked through the door with boxes of sliced fish, they were caught by Makino who came up. She looked surprised to see little boys carrying such large boxes on each side. "Rain and Luffy, these boxes, what are you two going to do with it by bringing them into the house?" Makino asked in surprise.
"Hehe, Rain and I caught a very large fish today and wanted you to cook it for all of us!" Luffy was thrilled and couldn't help but answer her question with pride. Makino smiled, but before she could say anything, a burst of laughter came from the house.
-Ha-ha-ha, so you guys were waiting for me and even cooked delicious fish for me! " - Garp left the house with a wide smile on his face. He greeted Makino and then stared at the box Luffy was holding.
"Old man, this is for me, Luffy and Makino, we never included you on this list!" Rain's eyes widened and his mouth twitched, his grandfather being very bossy at times. Garp dug in his nose and threw something like the Booger into the unknown.
Garp pretended not to understand anything and took the boxes from Luffy and Rain. He opened them and immediately smelled fishy. -Ha-ha, that's what I understand! Makino, let's cook it, my grandchildren think a lot about their grandfather and even cooked something special. " - Garp entered the house, laughing at the top of his throat, completely oblivious to the painful expression on Rain's face.
Makino looked at Rain's frozen face and smiled slightly. "Rain, don't be like that, he's your grandfather, you have to treat him well." Makino didn't give Rain time to reply when she entered the house. She was going to cook fish, there was enough for everyone.
As Makino thought, he really wanted to say something. Rain sighed, she was right, but he wished he would treat them well, not hit them in the head all the time. "Rain, come on, Makino will cook the fish, I want to watch!" Luffy ran into the house with a face full of greed.
-Ah, anyway. I need to stop being selfish like in my last world. " - Rain understood that now this is his new family, and he will cherish it to the end.
