A green shadow flashed through his eyes, cutting down the surrounding wood at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, all the wood in the radius flew into the sky, and then ...... The green figure rushed into the sky again.

In just a moment, the wood that had been flying in mid-air was suddenly neatly placed on the ground.

Karp looked surprised, "That's ...... Shave?! ”

As he spoke, he came back to his senses and realized that now was not the time for me to care about this.

Looking at the green figure that had fallen to the ground and splashed patches of dust, Karp's eyes were suddenly full of complexity.

Familiar straw hats!

Cheerful smile!

And......

That one is green!

And that thumbs up!

Upu and Zefa really didn't lie to him, Luffy has changed!

It became that even his grandfather didn't know him for a moment.

Especially at this time......

The grandson in front of him, who he knew and felt strange, had a smile on his face that was happier than ever, crossed his nose with his right hand, gave a thumbs up, and shouted loudly in front of him.

"Youth is not to give up, as long as you have a dream, no matter how many obstacles you encounter in front of you, you must work hard to go on! I've done it, I've managed to put a hundred logs in a second! Mr. Kai~"

And on the opposite side of him...... He is also a man wearing the same green tights, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a watermelon hairstyle.

He also gave Luffy a thumbs up, and his white teeth seemed to flash suddenly in the sunlight.

His eyes were full of emotion, and with an excited tone, he shouted loudly, "You really did it!" Luffy, I've seen your youth! ”

"Mr. Kai!"

"Luffy!"

On this busy construction site, the two looked at each other, as if they didn't notice the workers around them, sweat falling, with a smile, at this moment...... It seemed like there were just the two of them in the entire center.

The voice.

That tone.

That action.

That posture.

And that smile.

At this moment.

“……”

Karp watched in silence.

Although the scene in front of me seems to be just a man's recognition of another man's efforts, I don't know why...... At this moment, his heart is full of complexity.

Suddenly.

For a moment, he felt a little sorry for his son, Dorag.

Luffy seems to have changed a little outrageously!

Although he still looks so cheerful, optimistic, and upward, looking at Luffy, who is full of enthusiasm for some reason, and starts to do push-ups on the ground, he always feels that something is wrong.

Of course~

He knew it wasn't the time for him to think about it here.

This time, I just want to see my grandson......

Has his heart and dreams changed?

Or ......

Looking at Luffy, who was swaying with the sweat of youth on the floor, and the guy next to him, who was also doing push-ups on the floor and was called Mr. Kai, Karp fell silent again, [Let's see if this stinky boy has suffered any setbacks! 】。

So, without any hesitation, Karp opened his mouth and shouted forward with a complicated voice, "Luffy! ”

As soon as the words fell.

Suddenly.

“？！”

Luffy, who was trying to sweat his youth, heard it all of a sudden, and quickly raised his head, and when he saw Karp walking towards him, his face was stunned.

Then he did a backflip and jumped up directly, with a happy smile on his face, "Grandpa, why are you here?" ”

So saying, he walked forward.

And Karp looked at Luffy who was walking towards him, especially the familiar smile on Luffy's face at this moment......

A smile with white teeth.

My heart instantly calmed down a lot, and the whole person seemed to be relieved.

This smile......

It seems that Luffy is still Luffy!

It's this green tights that looks a little dazzling.

"Hahaha~" Karp let out a loud laugh, patted Luffy, and said, "I'm back, I'll come and see you!" ”

As he spoke, he slammed his fist directly into Luffy's head.

Just when he thought that he would leave a large bag directly on top of his grandson's head as before.

"Hugh" sounded.

Karp only felt his fist pass through Luffy's body and fall straight down.

And in this moment, he understood what was going on.

This is...... Afterimage!

Really.

I just thought so in my heart,

Luffy's figure suddenly appeared on the side, and the afterimage left in front of him disappeared.

Saw.

Luffy was wearing a green tights, lowered his hat, and looked at his grandfather with a smile on his face, "Old man, I'm getting stronger now~"

However.

As soon as the words were finished.

"Bang".

"Oops!"

Luffy covered his head again.

"Stinky old man, what are you doing? It hurts! ”

"Hahaha, it's really improved a lot! Just ......," Karp raised his fist and laughed again, "let your grandfather see how much stronger you have become!" ”

"It's good! I want to see how much worse I am from that guy! Luffy suddenly laughed at his grandfather's words, his right hand into a fist, and hammered it on his left hand, "I promised everyone that I will definitely go to sea!" ”

As he spoke, under Karp's surprised eyes, Luffy's skin suddenly turned red, and steam came out of his skin.

Second gear!

With this period of training, he has been able to easily control second gear.

"Looks like ...... You really haven't given up on training! Hahaha~, it's just ......" Karp let out a loud laugh again, but only threw a punch, "It's not enough!" Let's try the iron fist of grandpa's love~"

The words fell.

A punch slammed straight at Luffy.

And Luffy also noticed that his grandfather's punch was a little different from his usual fist!

He seemed to feel even more terrible than the iron fist of love before!

Merely.

He is no longer his former self, although he has never won the battle with those two uncles, but it has been so long...... He's been growing.

Especially during this time, I have been training with Mr. Kai!

He's already getting stronger again!

Luffy, who was red, jumped up directly, threw his right hand back, spun wildly, and smashed it towards his grandfather's fist.

Kung Fu in the blink of an eye.

The two fought directly, and this scene frightened the workers around them to put down their work and hide in the surroundings.

"How did Luffy fight with his grandfather?"

"I heard that his grandfather was not very good to him when he was young, is it possible that he has a long ability now, so he wants to take revenge?"

"What do we do now?"

"Watch the show! What else can I do? Conflicts in other people's homes, can we stop them? ”

"Stop fighting! Stop it! Don't fight! ”

"This is youth!"

At this moment, except for Maitkai, who was clasping his hands and cheering for his new disciple, and the foreman with a panicked face, the rest of the people hurriedly found a safe place to watch.

And the panicked foreman saw that the two of them didn't pay attention to him at all, and hurriedly found Kai, and shouted anxiously, "Kai, hurry up, stop them, let them stop fighting!" If you want to fight, you can't fight here! ”

"This is Luffy's youth, as a teacher, I won't stop it!" Kai refused without hesitation, shook his head, looked at the figure wearing a straw hat, and said, "Youth is impossible to stop!" With a smile of relief, "You've really gotten stronger, Luffy~"

However.

Just as he watched the battle on the field with relief.

"Youth? Don't care about youth! The foreman was not moved by his words, but still shouted with a anxious face, "Our side is almost finished, and if they continue to fight like this, when the time comes, they will destroy this place, not only will the construction period be extended, but we will also have to deduct wages!" ”

The words fell.

“？？？”

Deduction of wages?

Postpone?

Mission failed?

The smile on Maitkai's face, who was watching with relief, suddenly froze, and his arms were suddenly put down, and like the foreman, he hurriedly shouted loudly to the two people in front of him, "Stop fighting!" Stop it! Luffy, stop fighting! If you continue to fight like this, your salary will be deducted! ”
