Hearing Garp's name, everyone present exclaimed.
Even McGinn, who had quietly pricked up his ears and did not participate, was startled. He was obviously shocked by the news.
Taking advantage of everyone's surprise, Fili found a chance to slip away.
When everyone came back to their senses, he was no longer visible.
However, after hearing the news from him, everyone was no longer interested in him.
But their curiosity about Luffy has not diminished at all.
On the contrary, after learning that the other party is the grandson of the legendary marine hero Garp, their gossip fire burned even more vigorously.
Then they remember of a guy here who had close contact with the other party.
So under McGinn's horrified gaze, more than a dozen hungry wolves with green eyes turned their heads and stared at him.....
The professionalism of the young lady from the logistics department was beyond words. She quickly measured Luffy and searched through the boxes to find clothes of the right size for him.
After taking the clothes to the dressing room and changing out, Luffy finally looked a bit like a marine trainee.
The training uniform is similar to an ordinary marine uniform.
He wears a marine cap, blue trousers, leggings around the cuffs, and black leather boots.
The only difference is that he changed his upper body into a dark gray sweatshirt, which is more convenient for daily training.
After getting the assurance from the young lady that the other two sets of uniforms and daily necessities would be sent to the dormitory, Luffy walked out in his new uniform with great pride.
As soon as he walked out of the door, all eyes were fixed on him, but these eyes only stayed for a moment and then quickly moved away.
Of course, this is only on the surface.
Luffy noticed that these people would still sneak glances at him from time to time, but they were not so blatant.
'Damn, that guy must have spread my background.
He is a lieutenant, but his mouth is not reliable at all.'
Poor Fili left a bad impression on Luffy.
"Instructor, now that I have changed my clothes, can I go eat?"
McGinn gave him a complicated look, nodded without saying anything, and turned to lead the way. Luffy also followed silently, and the feeling of being on edge did not disappear until he left.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, there was not much time left for him to eat.
Under McGinn's guidance, Luffy took the bowl and chopsticks, and picked some of his favourite dishes in the food selection area.
Under the shocked eyes of everyone, he directly carried away the rice bucket that was more than one meter high and half full of rice.
Looking at the boy beside him who was burying his head in the bucket and wolfing down the food, Cook was so shocked that he didn't even notice that the bowl and chopsticks in his hand had fallen.
Gulp.~
"Luffy, are you okay? Can you finish all this?"
"Hmm..."
Luffy's mouth was full, and he was slurring his words.
Cook saw this and waved his hand to stop him, "No, no, no, eat, don't choke."
He scratched his head and looked at Luffy.
Cook gave him a thumbs up in admiration, then stood up and served him a bowl of soup and put it on the table.
"You can eat slowly, next is the cultural class.
When you go out and turn right, you will find the classroom. We are in Class 6, don't make a mistake."
"Woohoo (Thank you)"
"No, no, I'm leaving, you continue."
Leaving this sentence, Cook picked up the dishes and left.
Before leaving, he did not forget to drive away a group of guys who were watching Luffy eat.
Watching them leave, although Luffy kept talking, he remembered their kindness in his heart.
'Cheerful, enthusiastic, and easy to talk to, this guy can get along well with others.'...
The class time for cultural classes was 8:30, and Luffy arrived at 8:25 with a swollen belly.
McGinn had already arrived at the podium, and seeing Luffy's difficulty in walking, he twitched his mouth and had a strange idea.
'Could it be that Vice Admiral Garp couldn't afford to support him, so he stuffed this kid into the marine?'
"Luffy, here."
Cook called Luffy over as quietly as possible.
Luffy did not hesitate and slowly moved over.
"Oh~ I feel so full, my stomach is going to explode."
Cook looked at his belly which was bigger than a basketball and patted his hands speechlessly.
"You ate so much but you didn't die. If my father saw you, he would definitely praise you for your potential to be an Admiral."
"Huh? What does eating a lot have to do with being an admiral? And who is your father?"
Luffy was confused, not knowing how the topic turned to the other party's father and the admiral.
Cook shook his head and said nothing more.
He bent down and picked up a pile of books from the ground and put them on Luffy's desk. Cook patted them and grinned:
"These are the books I picked up for you. I just asked for them because you came two weeks late. You will have to make up for the missed classes.
Don't worry, there are only 5 or 6 subjects, and you will be able to make up for them soon."
Hearing this, Luffy's lazy expression instantly calmed down.
He quickly took out a few textbooks and started reading them.
"History of the Marine"
"Weapon care and use"
"Flag Signals"
"Marine Code of Conduct"....
Seeing this, Luffy breathed a sigh of relief.
Throwing the book on the table, he said nonchalantly:
"What? I thought it was something difficult. I've read all this before."
"What? You've read all these books?"
Cook looked at him in amazement.
Rolling his eyes at him, Luffy said unhappily:
"Fortunately, I have read it in the library before, and there are annotations by marine seniors there.
It is much richer in content than these new books."
"Haha, is that so? I've never been to a library before."
Cook was a little embarrassed. He was a typical student and could only remember the names of these books. He would forget the contents after reading them and would never read them again.
So when he listened to Luffy, a 5-year-old kid, talking, he felt ashamed.
The other party is very young, but he had well-rounded knowledge, strength, and appetite.
On the other hand, he is 14 years old and thought he is an adult, but except for his body that could withstand beatings, everything else is very average.
Ding-ling-ling——!
"Quiet, class starts now"
"Today we continue to talk about weapon maintenance. Turn to page 9...."
