20 The Power of Background
"It's really Lieutenant General Karp!"
The two navy's eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at the photo that Luffy was pinching with his two fingers.
I've never heard of such a close relationship with Karp.
Could it be that this imp is really Karp's grandson?
The attitude of the two Navy soldiers towards Luffy has changed.
"What are you doing here?"
Their tone was quite friendly, although they didn't get out of the way.
"I'm going to call my grandfather." Luffy said, putting away the photo and shoving the two Navy soldiers away.
The soldier didn't expect Luffy to have a bit of strength, and he was pushed, so he was forced to get out of the way, allowing this little ghost to break into the naval base.
"I'm sorry, but Lieutenant General Karp isn't here...... You're his grandson, you should know where he is, right? β
The soldiers still had suspicions, and they didn't dare to stop Luffy, so they followed Luffy to persuade him.
"My grandfather went back to the Navy Headquarters, but he forgot to give me his phone number, so I went straight to a naval base and called him." Luffy explained.
Luffy doesn't have his grandfather's phone number, let alone a communication prop like a phone bug.
"I see...... "The two Navy soldiers believed Luffy's words on the ninth floor.
This guy is going to call Karp, and if the goods are not right, he will be caught red-handed.
No one dares to be so arrogant and deceitful in a naval base.
"Your training is really stretching."
Luffy looked at the layout of the naval base, some soldiers chatted in groups and twos, or directly took advantage of the shade, on the huge training ground, Luffy simply didn't see the navy training on it.
This is the naval style of the East China Sea?
It's so cozy, it feels like a leisure base for Luffy.
"Groot, how come a child comes in, is that a relative of whose family?"
The Navy noticed Luffy, this guy was quite conspicuous, and it was hard not to notice.
"He is the grandson of Lieutenant General Karp, and he came to borrow a phone call to Lieutenant General Karp." The soldier next to Luffy explained.
"It's really fake, that Karp actually has a grandson, this is too shocking, right?"
When the soldiers heard this, they cheered up and surrounded Luffy.
The knowledge channels of this world are faulty, and the people at the bottom are ignorant, as official naval soldiers, they naturally have no brains to defend the official, so after Karp was officially portrayed as a naval hero, his image of the grassroots navy was directly deified.
Karp is the faith of the navy and the soul of the army, and in the later period, even if Karp wants to retire, he is asked by the commander-in-chief of the army to retain his rank.
It is conceivable that Luffy was treated.
As long as his identity is confirmed, he is a good man in the Water Margin for the grassroots navy, and he will worship when he is encountered, and he can "gather righteousness" without much effort and pull out a piece of navy brother.
The Navy supported Luffy to the communication room, and in addition to the base commander's office, the phone bug here could contact the headquarters directly.
The ability of the telephone bug is similar to that of a walkie-talkie, which can only talk in one area, and the pirates use the most basic and convenient, they have to wander around.
After that, there is the telephone bug long-distance phone bug that can communicate between countries, and the navy uses this kind of luxury phone bug, which can contact the navies of other regions across the sea.
The phone bug in the communication room wears a navy cap, some numbers are carved on it, and its head is listless.
"Luffy, if you don't know the number, you can directly contact the communication room of the headquarters by picking up the phone and pressing #." The soldiers teach Luffy how to use the phone bug.
They watched Luffy make a phone call, and they didn't have stage fright at all.
"Bolu Bolu ......"
The originally listless snail was thrilled by Luffy's actions.
"This is the communication room of the Navy Headquarters, please speak."
A calm voice answered the phone, and the snail face of the phone bug gradually changed to the general appearance of the other party, a face wearing a navy hat and a little square.
"My name is Monchi. D. Luffy, I'm looking for my grandfather Karp. β
Luffy leaned back in his chair, and the heads of a large group of Navy soldiers leaned next to the phone bug, not even daring to breathe, for fear that he would not be able to hear the voice on the other side.
"You... What are you talking about? β
"Imp, repeat, whose grandson are you?"
"Karp, Monchi D. Karp, there shouldn't be anyone in the Navy who can pretend to be my grandfather. β
"What? That naval hero actually has a grandson, so who is his son? β
"Impossible, little imp, are you sure you're not playing a prank?"
The phone bug sprayed loudly and spittle.
"Heyβhurry up and transfer my grandfather, don't ask if you shouldn't."
"I'll confirm your identity......"
The Navy soldier on the phone bug's side, his voice obviously trilled, began to urgently confirm Luffy's identity in the internal channels of the navy.
Eventually, the call was transferred to Karp.
"Hey, Karp, your grandson, call Navy Headquarters."
Or this old friend notified by the Warring States.
The two of them sat in their offices eating snacks.
"Yike...... How could that little imp have a phone bug, uh...... No, didn't he say he was going to see the life of a pirate on the Shanks ship? β
Karp heard the sound of the phone bug and groped it in his arms for a long time before finding the snail that was sitting under his buttocks.
"Hey, Karp, what did you just say? Your grandson ran away to Shanks' ship? β
"That Shanks who just did a few big things in the East China Sea?"
"Hey, be quiet, it's not a joke, you actually threw your grandson on a pirate ship?"
"Don't be nervous, Sengoku, my grandson has been very sensible since he was a child, and he just wants to see the life of pirates with his own eyes, and I ...... I'm curious about them. β
Karp picked up the phone, and the phone bug's head changed to a somewhat dumb image.
"Luffy! How did you end up in the naval base? β
Karp's loud voice came from the other side of the phone bug, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves!
The Navy soldiers exclaimed, looking at this little ghost, he really, really really was a Navy hero, the grandson of that legendary sailor!
When the hell, I've never heard of Karp-sama's family!
"Because I ran out of money, they didn't give me money to spend, and I used the overlord color to help them fish."
Shanks's identity is sensitive, and Luffy only uses the word "they" as a pronoun, and Karp knows what it means.
"It's so hateful, I don't even give my grandson money to spend, stingy!"
When Karp heard that his grandson was being bullied by Shanks, he immediately roared.
"I've got my account on the Navy base, grandpa."
"By the way, I'm here to ask you for something, I know the vastness of the world on the ship, grandpa, they gave me much more than you gave me!"
