"Well, you guys chat, I'll go write the request first."
Gavin coughed lightly, pulled Binz and left space for the two of them.
Luffy didn't react much, looked at Ain and asked again with a smile:
"How about it, do you want to help me?"
Smoothing the hair on her forehead, Ain looked up at the boy who was now taller than her.
He was sturdy, handsome, full of masculine charm, and he looked nothing like a 12-year-old boy.
After 6 years of getting along, she already understood how big the gap in strength was between the two sides. She no longer wanted to compete with the other party, and she had matured a lot and understood a lot.
Luffy now was more like a role model to her, an idol who inspired her to keep moving forward and become stronger.
Of course, it would be better if this idol could be a little bit older.
"Well, I also want to be with you all, please take care of me in the future."
Hearing her agreeing, Luffy immediately smiled happily.
He grabbed her soft little hand and pulled her into the room.
"Hehe, that's great.
Let's go, after finishing you all request, we'll call our classmates to have dinner outside.
Let's celebrate our graduation."
Ais, whose hand was held, blushed slightly, and said "hmm" softly, letting Luffy lead her away.....
After everyone finished writing their applications, Luffy announced that he would treat everyone tonight.
With the three friends flattering him, "Boss, you are so awesome, so handsome."
Luffy held his head high and led everyone out of the elite camp.
Because they had already graduated, the instructors and guards did not stop them and let them go on...
It was past 10 o'clock in the evening.
Luffy, with a smile on his face, came back home.
As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by Garp who had been waiting for a long time.
"You little bastard, you made me wait for so long, come here now!"
"Eh? Grandpa, you're still here. I thought you were going back to G3 after the show."
Luffy pretended nothing happened, walked over with a smile, and sat down on the sofa.
Garp snorted coldly and threw the long object wrapped in cloth at him.
"Take it. This is what Kuzan just sent."
"Hey, is this a gift for me? Uncle Kuzan is pretty fast."
Thinking that the other party is at least an admiral, Luffy immediately untied the cloth strip excitedly and checked it out.
"A sword?"
Luffy was completely stunned when he took out the long sword with a sky-blue scabbard and handle.
Although he did use a sword in the battle, it was more for show than for practical use.
His swordsmanship and physical skills were only average.
What was Kuzan thinking, actually giving him a sword.
And...
'Luffy drew his sword out of its sheath and exclaimed in admiration as he looked at the patterns on the blade.
"What a beautiful chaotic blade, this should be a famous sword.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about swords, so I can't recognize it."
"Humph, what's the point of looking good? What's important is whether you can make full use of its effect."
Garp snorted unhappily. He didn't give a gift, but Kuzan, the brat, actually gave one.
Isn't this embarrassing for him as a grandfather?
"Don't look at it. According to the person who sent it, this sword is called Seiryu, and it is one of the 21 Great Grade Swords."
"Although it is not the Supreme Grade Sword, it is still pretty good. I like it very much."
Luffy shook his head and said unsatisfiedly.
Garp was so angry that he punched him on the spot, forcing him to give up this ridiculous idea.
"You little brat, remember to call me often when you go out to sea.
If you don't understand something or encounter difficulties, don't be shy, just call the nearest marine for support.
Remember, this world is more dangerous than you think..."
Garp did not say anything profound, but instead shared his experience of sailing for many years and his own concerns.
Luffy also put away his joking thoughts and listened carefully in silence.
Garp talked a lot that night, and he even repeated some of his words two or three times.
But Luffy did not get impatient at all, and still nodded to indicate that he had taken note...
Four days later, in the morning,
Luffy put on a brand new white suit and a pair of black shoes that were polished to a shine.
He put the newly acquired sword Seiryu on his waist and looked back at this warm and memorable villa.
Then he picked up the Justice Coat on the hanger and put it on his back.
"Let's go, my time has come!"....
He took his luggage and came to the agreed marine port.
He is dress very handsomely and attracted the attention of Ain and others.
Luffy just smiled and wanted to say hello to them, but a man he didn't want to see for the time being blocked his way.
"Ha, ha, ha, Mr. Zephyr, you're here to see us off too."
Looking at this stinky kid who was still pretending to be stupid, Zephyr's face was almost as dark as his dark friend in his previous life.
He stepped forward and patted Luffy on the head without any courtesy, and then he cursed:
"You bastard, you really did it, you poached all the students in the class.
Do you know how long Sengoku scolded me when I submitted your application to him?!"
"Ah, this...", Luffy scratched his head and said carefully: "But didn't the Fleet Admiral agree in the end? He even kindly allocated me a new warship and all the necessary equipment and supplies, saving me from having to cry and beg in the logistics department."
Seeing that this kid showed no sign of repentance, Zephyr's face became even more sour.
"Bastard! I begged for it from Sengoku because I didn't want to be shamed!
Otherwise, let alone warships and equipment, it would be good enough if he didn't give you a broken fishing boat!"
"Ahaha, so that's how it is. Thank you for your hard work, teacher. I will definitely bring you a gift when I come back."
After saying that, Luffy looked at the watch on his wrist that didn't exist at all, and pretended to be surprised:
"Oh, it's already this late.
Teacher, I'm leaving now. Let's talk when I come back!"
He took the initiative to transform into an lightning and ran away to the ship.
Ain and the others had already arrived and were standing on the ship waiting for his order.
"Hurry up, hurry up, set sail!"
Luffy urged loudly, and only after the ship slowly started did Luffy lie on the side of the ship, waving and shouting to Zephyr who was still in shock:
"Teacher, we are leaving, you don't have to see us off, go back quickly~"
Other students who didn't dare to show their faces before also poked their heads out from the side of the ship.
Everyone waved goodbye to Zephyr and thanked him for his six years of teaching.
Zephyr was so angry that he almost ran away on the shore, but he heard the word coming from the ship.
In the end, he just snorted in dissatisfaction and waved his hand in frustration:
"Go away, you little brats, don't show up in front of me before you become famous."
