Principal Nezu and All Might looked at each other and nodded in understanding standing and Principal said " You are indeed right about it young Garp . We wanted to talk about to you about what what happened today . please don't get wrong , we are very happy that you were able to fight against Nomu because otherwise many students and Aizawa would have been Killed .
But it's still our responsibility to protect our students and what you did by not following orders and going to fight the villain , which was Highly irresponsible behaviour . We wanted to talk to you about that . " Garp nodded and said " I know that but leaving him alone to Fight them would have resulted in me breaking a promise j did to myself when I came here , that I will live without any regrets not matter what . "
All might said " but Young Garp that could have resulted in your death and how would have you lived without regret if you didn't survived today , we ar- " he was about say something but Garp stopped him mid sentence and said " All Might then ,I would prefer to be dying without regret by being one day hero , then living my entire life as a lie that I know there will be regrets .
And either way , I wouldn't throw away my freedom of choice for something , when I know I could help " Recovery girl said " Kid , you know that now your reputation it linked with this school and it will effect us to from Media . " Garp thought ' so it like marines not be able to do something against Yonko because it would start war type situation .
Then I guess , the sword squad method could work here to.' and Looked at them and said " then I can provide you with my Regination Letter !! " This little shocked them that Garp was ready to leave school and they didn't him being a Vigilante . Nezu said " you don't need to do leave school Young Garp ju- "
But he was cut by Garp said " I was not leaving school ,I was just going to give you Regination Letter and say that if something in future damage school reputation because of me , you can show people that Lettee anz say that , I was never student of UA and left long time ago and you don't hold any accountability for my actions ."
They were surprised that Garp was fine with them not helping for being student but also giving them a reason to do it . All might thought ' you want to scarifice your own protection for UA reputation , when think for to know you , you show unexpected side of your's . ' Nezu just laughed and said " that is good suggestion but we can't do that Garp , you're our responsibility
And we don't abandon our students in there time of need but I am rather curious that in this world where kids give more importance to there dream , you are fine with not achieving it . Where is definitely a cause or some story behind it . " Garp Looked at him and just laughed and said " A story huh ? Well I guess you could say that . Let me tell you story about a certain pirate that might help you understand my side of prospective. "
All might and others eyes perked up from listing that he was about a story of a pirate and they thought ' he know some pirate , but in today day andage aren't any pirate ,so how did he got influenced by one.' Garp Looked at there faces and understood that they were confused and explained " the Pirate in Story is just a folktale not real one but his story is very influential . When you hear it , it kind give you answer for something in life ."
This got their attention and Principal Nezu said " I see, a folktale form back home huh ? , Now I am interested in it , please tell young Garp . " Garp smiled and said " it about time when there used be pirate in sea and governments of world did allowed people to go freely at certain places , it was a taboo that could get you death sentence .
But there was a pirate in sea around that same time and his name was " GOL D ROGER " he was very strong pirate that not even government wanted to fight him upfront . He went on sail someplace where he found that there was a Island that government didn't wanted people to know , there was a very big treasure stranded at that island that could make a person richer than then any person on earth ."
All might asked " if there was such a big treasure then why didn't government went after it ? " Garp Looked at him and said " every government have some dark secrets and this one had it's too . They were formed a 800 years ago and before that there was a 100 year void in history that no knew why existed but government forbidden anyone to research about it . "
Nezu said " if I am correct that the void have to do something with this government and That island must have information about it that could force people against government after knowing the truth and that why government wanted to keep it existence secret . " Garp smiled and said " Yes , and because of this reason it got Roger interested in that final island . He was free spirit and wanted himself to be free from government shackles .
From his perspective he would be most free person on sea if he would be able to go on very Island that existed in world " Recovery girl said " that quite dangerous journey since many people would simply die on sea more it wrath and some Island were in far form civilizations , so they would be low in supplies ."
Garp nodded and continued " Yes , that why no one have ever found that island because they gave up in before even starting but Roger was determined and after few years journey he was able to reach that island and he was able to learn about that island and government part in 100 void .
And people started to believe that it was possible to reach it but many people also started to challenge him thinking that know he had that treasure that could make them Richest in world and people started to call Gol D Roger , Pirate king . " Nezu said in Understanding " that quite understandable that there will be some who coem after his treasure ,it nothing knew in history . " Other nodded too .
But Garp said " Yes , but the one that who wanted him quiet most were government and because of this he would never be able to tell people about their history and after one year he was captured and his crew disbanded . Government wanted to execute him in front of people to show What would happen if they follow his steps. "
Recovery girl said " Well, that's not something knew government always hanged pirates in past to make a example out them but that never stopped people but I am curious that how they were able to capture him , when they didn't do it before he knew about history ?" Other nodded to but Garp said " there was a reason for it , he was never captured but he surrendered himself to government . "
They were shocked to know that why would strongest pirate who wanted to be most free in world , would surrendered himself. Nezu thought ' even with my Quirk , I didn't expect this outcome . What could have let to him making this decision . ' All Might asked " Why would he let himself captured ? I don't understand the reasoning behind it . "
Garp smiled and said " Reasoning is simple , Roger was Strongest on sea but against life even strongest can't win and he had got an incurable disease that was weakening and killing him . " All might then understood Roger position since he himself had a injury that can't be healed by anyone . Guess there was a reason behind his surrender and Nezu now have figured it out but stayed quiet for other two's sake .
Garp continued " Gol D Roger didn't wanted to die in some ship and have people not know about the truth world. So , he disbanded his crew and surrendered himself knowing government would want to make an example out of him . He was taken to his hometown where was born to execute him . A large scaffold was step for executing him .
People saw him coming chained in shackles but there was a smile on his face . They were shocked from seeing what was happening and that Roger saw not scared a single bit from his own death . After sitting on scaffolding Roger simply smiled at people . Suddenly one man from crowed asked him about his legendary treasure " ONE PIECE" that he found on that island .
He simply laughed and said " My treasure ? it's right where I left it , it's your's if you can find it . But you will ahve to search whole world ." He head was cut of but he smiled on his face didn't faded even after facing death With that Pirate king Gol D Roger . Who had everything in the world "Wealth" , " Fame" and "Power" . Led people into searching for his treasure and created a golden age piracy that no matter what happens Government couldn't stop because of sheer number people . "
This sent down a chill down there spine. They understood what Gold Roger did , since people would have beleived him because of government and he didn't have much it time because of his disease . So he choose to surrender himself and let people search the answer themselves instead of telling and created something the Government itself couldn't Stop .
There stunt to stop people from searching people for that island started a era filled with people chasing the dream of finding that treasure . Garp said " I once heard that people say that you don't die when you are killed but you die when you are forgotten . And Gold Roger became dream of every person and lives freely in there memories freely and guiding them to his treasure .
He lived he lefe without regret and he died without it and I also want live a life that where I don't have to regret my actions not Matter what cost and following Aizawa ordered would have led him into regretting it and I would not change my path in future to."
They now understood that where did Garp inspiration came from and it was not from some hero or All might like other kids but it was from a story of past and he gave that inspiration more value that being a hero . Well they can't deny that they didn't felt inspired from that story .
Nezu said " I guess , we can do nothing about changing your mind about it then . But I have a request just don't make a wrong decision that would people in future Young Garp. I will be taking leave then , All Might would like to come with me . " All nodded and left andbsaid that he should go to since it were just minor injuries .
Garp was greeted by his classmates and Little lecture form Aizawa and Bakugo claiming that he would not be looked down by him and show him that he is going to be best .
Meanwhile , Nezu and All Might were walking towards his office and Nezu said " that was quite the interesting story , isn't it All might . " All might nodded and said " Yes , principal sir . I guess can quite relate with position of Gold Roger because of my injury and the future that Sir Nighteye told me about but Now I least have a certain options because this story ."
Nezu smiled and said " I also quite likt that option , All Might inspiring that future generations to Go beyond themselves for future . " All might said " Well , I would not have been All Might if people ahev forgotten heroism and didn't stood against that Man . We would never have gotten a fighting chance if those hero's of past didn't went against him even with there weak quirks .''
Nezu then said " I guess then it's shame that people have forgotten there struggles in today's life ." All might and said " You don't need to worry about it Principal , since there will still lives in me and will in every future OFA user ." Nezu simply nodded and said " but that is not enough , I think we should make a special class for telling future generation about the hero that gave us this society that we need to protect .
I Guess , you wouldn't mind if I tell them that you are there legacy with telling about One For All secret . " All Might smiled since people really only see him a one man who brought peace instead of People like his Teacher Nana shimura are forgotten of government and media just focusing on Hero's that win not people like Aizawa who fight crime as Underground Hero .
( Well would look at that All Might also got inspired by Gold Roger and even forgetten that the person who inspired him was a pirate which they would call villain in this day and age . Well I would taking my leave wih this last chapter .)
