The main building is a tall tower surrounded by green belts.
Below the tower there is a parade ground. In the center of the open parade ground, there is a cross, with a certain guy with a green seaweed head tied to the cross, looking at the setting sun with his head lowered.
Luffy and the others followed Morgan and saw the scene as they passed through the field.
Apparently noticing his gaze, Zoro, who was thirsty and hungry, looked at Luffy with sharp and fierce eyes in the crowd.
"There's someone tied up there..." Nami also noticed.
"This is a dangerous criminal." Morgan said seriously. "Please don't get too close, it wouldn't be good if you got hurt."
A dangerous criminal?
Luffy thought for a moment. For Morgan, defying his authority should truly be a crime.
For now, he ignored Zoro's plight and let him enjoy the sun a little longer.
Soon, the group entered the tall tower.
In the reception room, Morgan asked someone to bring tea and sat on the sofa opposite, lighting a cigar.
"Luffy, his grandfather, Vice Admiral Garp, is the pride of East Blue. I grew up hearing his stories and always wanted to meet him." Morgan said.
Was this a test to verify his identity?
Luffy followed the other's words and said, "I haven't seen my grandfather in a while either. Do you have the contact for the headquarters here? Can I use a Den Den Mushi?"
"That's no problem," Morgan immediately called a soldier and dialed the Headquarters number with a Den Den Mushi.
Of course, he couldn't contact Garp directly, the difference in rank was too great.
A branch captain automatically lowered his rank by 3 levels compared to a headquarters captain, not to mention a headquarters Vice Admiral.
If you did the calculations, there would be a difference of 6 ranks.
Therefore, Morgan could only contact the Naval Headquarters intelligence department first, report the situation, and then hang up the phone.
Afterwards, he said to Luffy, "Your grandfather will return soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of Den Den Mushi sounded.
Pururupuru~
Luffy picked up Den Den Mushi's phone, but before he could speak, a hearty laugh came from the other end.
"Hahaha, Luffy, you actually took the initiative to contact me, I'm happy."
"Ah, grandfather."
"Luffy, why aren't you at Foosha Village? Why are you at the 153rd branch?"
"I went to sea and found a pirate named Alvida, so I captured her and came to claim the reward."
"You brat, did you really go and become a pirate?"
Garp understood his grandson's temperament very well. As soon as he heard the words "gone to sea", he knew what had happened.
Then, a roar came from the Den Den Mushi.
"You idiot, you should join the navy. You're destined to become an admiral in the navy! That redheaded bastard! Misled you"
His voice was very loud, and Den Den Mushi perfectly imitated his expression and attitude, so Luffy had to hold the phone a little further away.
Next to him, Nami found it funny and envious, remembering her mother when she was a child...
At the same time, his heart completely calmed down.
After all, it wasn't a lie, Vila Cocoyasi could be saved!
Whether it was power or status, looking closely at this guy's profile, he unexpectedly looked handsome.
Nami thought to herself.
At this moment, a Marine soldier quietly entered and whispered in Morgan's ear.
"Captain, that pirate Luffy-sama brought has woken up and is causing havoc in the prison, we can't suppress her..."
Morgan was a little surprised.
With a bounty of 5 million, she was quite famous in East Blue where the average bounty was 3 million.
Immediately, he stood up and said to Luffy, "I have something to take care of, excuse me."
Luffy nodded as he spoke to Garp.
After Morgan left, there was a bang as the door to the reception room was opened, and a young man with his chin on his ass rushed in.
"Dad, I heard you have..."
He saw Luffy.
Luffy turned his head and looked at the girl, saying to Garp, "Grandpa, I have something to take care of, goodbye."
Without giving Garp the chance to say anything else, he turned off the Den Den Mushi.
Then, he stood up and walked towards the young man.
The young man with the ass chin took a step back, apparently intimidated by Luffy's aura, and became a little nervous.
"I... I'm Captain Morgan's son, Helmeppo, who are you?"
"My grandfather is a vice admiral at Marine Headquarters."
Instant death!
Helmeppo opened his mouth and his jaw dropped to the floor.
Luffy reached out and grabbed the man's shoulder, forcefully dragging him to the window, pointing to the training ground outside.
"That person who is tied up, is the Three Swords Style swordsman, pirate hunter, Roronoa Zoro, isn't he?"
"Yes..." Helmeppo didn't dare resist.
"Where are his swords?"
"In my room..."
Helmeppo smiled awkwardly and immediately began to think.
This kid's grandfather is a vice admiral at Marine Headquarters, much more impressive than his father.
If he manages to create a good relationship with him, he will not only be able to walk sideways in Shells Town, but also in any Marine Base in East Blue.
The next question is: how can he make friends?
"Take me there."
Luffy turned to Nami and instructed, "I'll be right back."
"Yes~" Nami replied obediently, like a well-behaved girl.
However, as soon as Luffy took Helmeppo and left, Nami immediately got up from the couch.
Koby whispered, "Miss Nami, where are you going?"
"To the bathroom."
After leaving the reception room, Nami acted quickly.
"I heard rumors recently about a navigation map for the Grand Line, and it fell on that basis."
"Where would something so important be kept?"
"The treasury? The captain's office of this branch?"
As a professional thief, Nami found the place easily.
In Morgan's room, there was a safe hidden in the wall, and when she opened it, she actually saw a parchment of the sea chart.
"I found it~"
