After several days of sailing, Karp's warship successfully reached the village of windmills. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info then went to the place where he had fostered his two grandsons - a group of "kind" bandits led by Cali Dadan.

Although Luo Xiu does not have the kind of sight and hearing that Anilu can perceive the entire empty island, he can still do it within a range of several kilometers in diameter. Karp is also the kind of strong man with a strong momentum, and he was noticed by Luo Xiu almost immediately. After thinking about it for a while, Luo Xiu figured out the reason why Karp appeared at this time. Hurriedly called Robin, said hello to the two disciples, and then hid in the forest.

The current Luo Xiu, if he goes head-on, can just drop Karp head-on. But what about after that? Will you start fleeing again? What about the two disciples? Although Luo Xiu is afraid of trouble, he still has a sense of responsibility. Since you have chosen to teach, you must teach well.

Luckily, Karp isn't good at seeing and hearing and being domineering. So he couldn't find Luo Xiu and Robin in the first place. After asking Dadan for the general location of his two grandsons, he looked in that direction, and then walked happily all the way.

After Luo Xiu started the domineering development course, Ace and Luffy's bodies had begun to generate domineering on their own. As Karp approached the range of about 100 meters, the two of them intuitively discovered something. The sparring action suddenly stopped, and after Ace gave a look, the two secretly ambushed in a hidden bush next to them.

The method of restraining their own aura, Luo Xiu has not yet taught, and of course they will not comprehend it by themselves. So this is a doomed sneak attack.

"Punch me, stinky old man!" After Karp got closer, the two of them rushed out of the bushes at the same time, striking Karp one after the other, and punching hard! Although the child's words are unscrupulous, the style of the two of them is probably influenced by those bandits.

"Does that sound like something to say to grandpa, you two bastards!" Karp curled the corners of his mouth briefly, then quickly turned, took a half-step back, raised his arms at the same time, and then hammered down. The casserole-sized fist accurately hit the heads of the two.

Holding his arms and facing his two grandsons who grabbed the ground with their faces and carried a big bag on their heads, Karp smiled triumphantly like a bear child who had won a fight:

"Kuhaha...... Two bastards, trying to sneak up on the old man? You're still 50 years early!"

However, his heart was a little fluctuating: the feeling just now was ...... Armed and domineering?!No, how old are these two stinky boys?!But the feeling of fists can't be wrong! Hmph, it's really worthy of my Karp's grandson!

"You two bastards, do you miss grandpa? Do you want to go to the navy with grandpa? grandpa told you, oh, to be a navy......"

Karp began to try to do some useless work to give the two of them the benefits of being in the navy. Of course, Luffy has only one answer to this:

"I don't want to be a navy! I'm going to be a man in One Piece!"

And then...... There is no then. Saying this kind of thing in front of a senior navy, this navy is still his own grandfather, and a fat beating is indispensable.

Luo Xiu didn't know what kind of strength Karp, an old admiral, was, and he didn't dare to get too close, so after reining in his breath with Robin, he hid in the forest with peace of mind. Because of the relationship they have explained, Luffy and Ace didn't say anything. The three of them gathered together simply and violently, and exchanged harmoniously with their fists.

Early the next morning, Karp was ready to leave for the Navy headquarters. He is still an active lieutenant general, and he cannot leave for too long until he retires, unless he is on a mission. This time, it's just taking advantage of the convenience of the plan, and I can't stay too long.

Before parting, Luffy looked unhappy, but there was some nostalgia in his eyes. Ace was much calmer, and he stopped talking to Karp standing on the deck:

"Grandpa......"

"Hmm, are you okay, Ace?" Karp looked at Ace with some complication. The child entrusted by an old friend is disgusted and feared by most of the world because of his father.

"Should I, should I live?" After a moment's struggle, Ace asked Karp the question.

"Hah?!What kind of stupid question are you??!You're my grandson!Of course you should live!And you have to live well!," Karp snapped and shouted. Then, perhaps feeling a little uneasy, he yelled at the forest in the distance:

"I'll leave my two grandsons to you! Since I've taught them, I'll be responsible for them to the end!"

After yelling, he left without looking back.

In the forest, Luo Xiu, who heard his shout, was looking in the direction he left, muttering to himself, as if answering him: "Of course." I'm their teacher. Not a cute and sensitive old imp. ”

Karp is gone. His appearance was just a small episode, and it did not disrupt Luo Xiu's life. However, the impact is still there, and Luo Xiu realizes that Ace's psychological problems may be a little more serious than he estimated. Therefore, it was decided to shift the focus of Ace's cultivation to the cultivation of the mind. Luffy, as always, refines his body.

The morning after Karp left, Luo Xiu called Ace aside alone during the rest of the two of them's workout and began to counsel him: "Ace, you still don't know anything about being a teacher, right?"

"Yes. But teacher, is there something wrong with you?" Ace wondered why Luo Xiu would suddenly tell him about these things.

Luo Xiu pondered for a while and decided to make it clear: "Actually, the teacher is not a person from this world. But know a little about the things of your world. This also includes your identity. I know, you're Roger's child. ”

"!!!" Ace was startled. But it's just surprise. Although Ace had known Luo Xiu for a short time, he knew that his teacher would not harm him.

"Don't be so surprised. Luo Xiu said a simple sentence and began psychological counseling: "You still seem to be wondering why you are alive." ”

"......" Ace was silent. Ever since he knew that he was Roger's son, and listened to the feelings of the people around him about his existence, he had always, kept thinking:

"Should I live in this world?"

"Does anyone in the world want me to live?"

"What was I born here for?"

These questions, in the eyes of others, are probably very stupid and meaningless. But for Ace, it's important. It's not stupid, or self-pitying. This is a cry to his own life from a child who has lacked the love and guidance of his family since he was a child.

"Why are you alive?" The question of being a teacher cannot help you answer. Because even if the teacher gives you an answer, it probably won't be what you want. Luo Xiu said with some emotion. Admittedly, he lived for a long time, so long that he forgot how long. But he never thought about why he was alive. For Luo Xiu, the very fact of being alive is meaningful.

"There is only one thing that the teacher can tell you - people, if you don't work hard to live, then work hard to die. Luo Xiu's face remained the same: "Alive, or dead." What a simple thing. And, haven't you found out yet?"

"Huh?" The silent Eston was stunned for a moment, indicating that he didn't know what Luo Xiu was referring to.

"You're really clumsy. Don't always keep your head down, annoyed alone. Occasionally look up and see how your surroundings are?Karp, Dadan, Luffy, Sabo, as a teacher...... We all want you, alive!"

Ace's glasses gradually lit up. It was as if there was a resurgence of dead ashes inside, and it was getting more and more vigorous. When he heard Luo Xiu talk about Sabo, he was even more intense: "Teacher, you just said, Sabo? He is not ......."

"Alive. Luo Xiu showed a hint of a smile: "Your brother, Sabo, is still alive. ”

“…… That's really," Ace's shoulders began to tremble, and then soon his whole body trembled, and his tears couldn't be controlled, as if he had broken the embankment: "Great, ahhhhh

"I finally cried. Robin walked over to Rosho and leaned against him.

"Ah, at last. Luo Xiu was leaned against and quietly watched Ace cry while running to tell Luffy the news, and then the two of them cried together.

When the two of them finished crying, they ran to Luo Xiu and asked expectantly: "Teacher, you know that Sabo is still alive, so do you know where he is?"

Luo Xiu smiled and beat the two of them again: "He's with Luffy's dad now." In the near future, when you go to sea, you will meet it. ”

After the beating, there are various basic exercises of the routine. Luo Xiu didn't teach them advanced techniques, which would prevent them from developing their own moves in the future. Right now, what Ace and Luffy need is to exercise their physical fitness, lay a good foundation, and strive to learn the domineering spirit of arming and seeing before going to sea.

It is now the year 1516 of the Haiyuan calendar, and Ace is 16 years old. There was not much time left for him to study with Luo Xiu......
