While cooking skillfully, Luffy secretly complained in his heart, and missed the days when his nanny Hanni was here.
She had been dismissed since he was 3 years old.
Although the two sides still frequently visited each other, Hanni would come to cook for Luffy from time to time.
But since Garp is back today, Hanni's husband must have gone home as well.
Hanni knew that Garp didn't want Luffy to be spoiled, so she would definitely not come these two days.
Thinking that he was about to be thrown into the recruit camp, and would not be able to eat the food cooked by this mother-like figure for a long time in the future.
Luffy felt a pity in his heart.
In the living room.
Garp looked at Luffy's skillful skills in the kitchen, and he was also very emotional.
He was quite satisfied with this grandson, who was well-behaved, obedient, hardworking and diligent.
Even if he occasionally played pranks, he knew the limit. The marine, except Smoker, liked this child very much.
But it was precisely because of this that Garp was even more reluctant to waste Luffy's talent.
He would not force Luffy to learn by throwing him into Zephyr's elite training camp and letting him receive the most rigorous and hard training.
Instead, he would send Luffy to the most ordinary recruit camp and let him learn from the most basic.
After his foundation was solid, he would be promoted to the elite camp with his own efforts.
This was what he thought was the best education for Luffy.
Thinking about it, Garp suddenly asked:
"Luffy, what path do you plan to take in the future? Do you want to specialize in physical skills like your grandfather, or become a great swordsman? Or do you want to eat a devil fruit and become an admiral with the power of a devil fruit?"
Luffy in the kitchen heard this question, and kept cooking, and gave his answer in an orderly manner.
"Grandpa, you said that strong physical skills are the basic requirement for a strong man. Swordsmanship can be seen as an extension of physical skills. If I have a talent in either area, I will also work hard to practice. As for devil fruits, if there is a suitable one, of course I am willing to eat it. But forget about becoming an admiral just by relying on the fruit. Without a strong body and Haki, no matter how powerful the fruit is, you can't become an admiral."
Hearing this answer, Garp smiled with satisfaction.
"Hahaha, it seems that you have listened to your grandfather's words, Luffy.
That's right, in this world, whether it is the marine or the pirates, all the top strong men have practiced physical skills, swordsmanship, Haki, and fruits to the extreme.
Although the fruit is not the main one, even I cannot deny that a suitable fruit can have a terrifying effect on improving strength.
I was originally hesitant about whether to give you this fruit, but now I feel relieved after hearing what you said."
"What? Fruit? Give it to me?"
Luffy didn't have time to cook, and turned to look at the living room.
On the sofa, Garp took out a small wooden box from somewhere, opened it and took out a fruit with a mysterious pattern on the surface.
Luffy threw the spatula aside and ran over excitedly.
Taking the fruit from Garp, Luffy looked at it carefully.
The fruit looked like a golden pear, with irregular lightning-shaped spikes and a lightning-shaped stalk on the surface.
Like most fruits, its skin also had spiral light black textures.
'Isn't this the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? How did it get here if it's not on Sky Island?!
Luffy recognized the fruit at first sight. It was exactly the same as the picture released by the official One Piece page.
This made him happy, but also deeply confused.
He quickly looked at Garp and asked anxiously:
"Grandpa, where did this fruit come from? Do you know its abilities?"
"I picked this one up."
Garp was very proud when he talked about the origin of this fruit.
"On my way back, a broken ship strangely fell from the sky.
This fruit was found on that ship. Some people speculated that this might be a ship that was wrecked on Sky Island and fell down somehow.
As for the ability of the fruit?...The book is in Sengoku's hands, I don't want to tell him, I don't want him to take this from me."
Listening to Garp's explanation, Luffy's mouth gradually opened wide.
He silently gave a thumbs up to Garp who openly violated the marine regulations.
Garp's mouth corners unconsciously raised, and after reacting, he coughed lightly and continued:
"This fruit looks like a logia fruit related to lightning.
But it is also possible that it is a paramecia fruit.
So it is up to you to decide whether to eat it or not. I will not interfere."
'This, should I eat it? Eat this fruit that is said to be the strongest logia fruit?
Luffy asked himself this question in his heart.
To be honest, he had always thought that even if he ate a fruit, he would eat the Rubber-Rubber Fruit like in canon.
But now the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is in his hand, should he give it up and wait for the Rubber-Rubber Fruit that he didn't know where it was?
'No, I won't do such a stupid thing.
The Nika Fruit has its own consciousness, and the future owner will only be Joy Boy.
I'm not the Luffy in the original comic, and I don't want to be a shitty Joy Boy! '
After making up his mind, Luffy no longer hesitated and opened his mouth to bite it directly.
'Shit, it pricked my mouth!
Seeing Luffy choose to eat this devil fruit, Garp sat up straight immediately.
What he said about not wanting to tell Sengoku, not knowing what kind of fruit this is, is all bullshit.
Garp had already asked clearly and knew that this was the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which is known as the strongest logia fruit.
How could he be so stupid as to let his grandson eat a garbage fruit? He has high expectations for Luffy.
The reason why he didn't tell him was because he was afraid that Luffy would be attracted by the name and eat it directly.
"Ugh~ So bitter, so astringent, so sour, this is too disgusting."
Luffy almost fainted after eating just a small piece of the flesh.
In all the years of his two lives, this was the first time he had eaten something so disgusting.
Throwing the remaining half of the fruit aside, he began to carefully feel the changes in his body.
Soon, an arc of electricity flashed at his fingertips.
But slowly, as he mobilized all his strength, more and more dense arcs flashed.
In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by lightning, and the sound of "crackling" electricity exploded in the house.
"Pah!"
Garp's big hand covered in Armament Haki mercilessly interrupted Luffy's thoughts of further attempts.
"Idiot, don't use your abilities at home."
Ignoring Luffy's angry look, Garp picked his nose and gestured behind him:
"Go cook for me now, your food is going to be burnt"
"Oops!"
Luffy remembered his dishes after he was reminded.
After exclaiming, he hurried back to the kitchen.
What he didn't notice was that with his footsteps, several small electric currents passed by.
His speed was obviously much faster than before.
Garp took it all in, but he said nothing, just happily made himself a cup of tea.
