5: Chapter 5 Calling Uncle KizaruWhile Luffy and Shanks were exchanging pleasantries, in what appeared to be an office of a high-ranking officer in Marineford, a yellow-skinned monkey was lying in a chair, manicuring his nails.Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi on his wrist rang.
"Huh?Why is this Den Den Mushi ringing?There's no sound when I answer it!Is it broken again?This is so annoying." The yellow-spotted man tilted his head and fiddled with the Den Den Mushi, muttering to himself from time to time.
Kizaru fiddled with it for a while but found it didn't work.However, the clicking sound from the Den Den Mushi reminded him of something.
"This must be the 'string code' that Luffy told me about in the Den Den Mushi before!I think he only dialed this when he was in danger, right?"
Kizaru looked as if he had just realized something, then frowned and took out a small notebook from his pocket to translate using the Den Den Mushi.
Yes, ever since Wang Luffy got Kizaru's Den Den Mushi, he has been frequently communicating with him, talking about things like working 9 to 5 and 996, which makes Kizaru's blood boil.
Of course, he also told Kizaru about Morse code and other coded distress signals, since Kizaru was known for his speed, and he needed to ensure his safety in the early stages when his strength was insufficient.
"Help.Windmill Village.Tavern.Shanks?" After translating, Kizaru looked at the note in his hand, shook his head, and muttered to himself:
"How terrifying!Shanks actually went to such a small place, and with little Luffy too.Should I go save him?Shanks is really scary!Oh well, he's the son of a dragon after all, I'll just go and make the trip."
Kizaru instructed his personal guards to inform Vice Admiral Garp of the impending events, and then vanished into the sky in a flash.
On the other side, Wang Luffy opened the box containing the Devil Fruits, picked up the fruit inside and examined it from all angles, thinking to himself, "So this is the legendary Devil Fruit?"
This is completely different from what you see in anime.The circular markings on it are truly chilling.I really don't know what the first person was thinking when they ate it.
"Hey, Luffy, eat this.This stuff may not look very appetizing or taste good, but it can give you tremendous power, a power that I'm very envious of."
Shanks said with a look that said, "You have to believe me," while giving his crew a meaningful look.
"Yes, yes.This stuff has been sitting on our ship for many years, and no one has been willing to eat it."
"Eat up, Luffy!After we finish, let's become pirates together, living a carefree life!Hahahaha!"
"Hey hey hey!Here we come!"
Could something strange have gotten mixed in?But no matter what they said, Wang Lufei didn't dare to eat this thing in front of them.
With so many people watching, who knows if there are any World Government spies inside?If I eat it, the World Government will find out in no time.
If I'm going to eat it, I'll have to find a secluded place, otherwise I'll really fall for your tricks and be forced to become a pirate.After all, if I eat this fruit and then reveal my strength, given the World Government's "better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free" mentality, what else can I do but become a pirate?
Just as Wang Lufei was about to speak to cover it up, a yellow flash appeared in the sky, followed by a cry of "How scary!" and then the person pulled Wang Lufei into their arms and disappeared in a flash.
Shanks and the others, who had been stunned by the flash of light, finally reacted and sped off in pursuit of its path, simultaneously saying:
"Kizaru, you really are a Jilin Running Man!You're such a baby!You snatched him and ran!Put him down!He's the son of a dragon!Aren't you afraid of retaliation?"
Wang Luffy's voice echoed from the sky: "You believe a fabricated background?I'm the grandson of Marine hero Garp, how could I possibly join the Revolutionary Army?You stinking pirate, you got tricked by me, hahahaha."
That's right, Wang Luffy didn't want his identity as the son of the Revolutionary Army's Dragon Army to be exposed, so he took advantage of Kizaru's rescue to create the impression that he was on the Navy's side.
Then, by appropriately bringing up Garp, a heavyweight figure in the Navy, a simple search would reveal the relationship between himself and Garp, and basically no one would care about his identity as the "Dragon's Son" that he mentioned earlier.
As for those who know about the relationship between Dragon and Garp, so what?They already knew about their own background, and they were fine before, weren't they?
"Captain, we've been tricked!Hahahaha!"
"Yes, Captain, we were actually tricked by a 6-year-old child.How pathetic."
"Now it's not just the captain who's lame, we're starting to lame too, hahaha."
Shanks looked at the crew's carefree jeering and scratched his head with a wry smile."We really got tricked, Navy.But it's undeniable that this kid has Captain Roger's shadow.We'll see if he eats this fruit or not."
In the sky, Wang Lufei, being held by the yellow-skinned monkey, was being tossed and turned.Looking at the scenery below, he couldn't help but say, "I knew my second uncle would come to save me, and sure enough, he did.Ah~ I feel safest in my second uncle's arms."
Kizaru looked puzzled and said, "Who told you I'm your second uncle?I don't have a sister to marry Dragon.Although I do think highly of Dragon, don't spread rumors."
"I know, I know.Our two families are practically family!I won't call you that in front of others.When we're alone, I'll just call you Uncle Kizaru, okay?" Wang Luffy said with an "I understand" look on his face.
"This is really a headache!I don't know what Dragon told you.Dragon and I are indeed good friends, and you can call me uncle, but please don't reveal to others that you are Dragon's son.It's not good for either Dragon or you." Kizaru said with a serious expression on his helpless face.
"Understood, Second Uncle.Uh.Uncle." To be honest, Wang Luffy only knew this because in his previous life he had seen too many posts on the internet saying that Kizaru was Luffy's uncle.I heard rumors about my uncle, so I wanted to test the waters.
Surprisingly, the test actually worked.I never expected that this Kizaru with his thick eyebrows and big eyes would betray the revolution.uh, no.He should be said to have betrayed the World Government and become a Revolutionary Army spy.
"Alright, let's stop the small talk for now.Let's explain things first, so I can give Vice Admiral Garp an account," Kizaru said, his expression changing in an instant.
Wang Lufei knew he should explain, so he said, "Actually, the thing is like this."
