One Piece: A wild man can also become a swordsman

"This brat?"

At this moment, Carl looked at Luffy who was pulling Shanks' sleeve.

Looking up at Shanks, Shanks scratched his head a little embarrassed.

Carl took off the straw hat on Shanks' head. With this action, the Red Hair Pirates almost attacked Carl. Shanks waved his hand to stop them, but Carl ignored them.

He took out the straw hat and put it on Luffy's head.

"You've made a good choice, but I won't interfere with your affairs, and you shouldn't interfere with mine either."

Then he threw the straw hat to Shanks.

"Let's go Shanks. I hope we can still be the same next time we meet."

Carl didn't know what Shanks' stance was. Was he on Roger's side or one of the higher-level Celestial Dragons?

You have to know that Celestial Dragons are divided into different levels.

The lowest level Celestial Dragons are those mentally handicapped idiots, while people like Shanks can be identified as Celestial Dragons with high-level combat power by looking at the domineering aura they exude.

The Knights of God, commonly known as the Celestial Dragons' guards, are actually the high-level people who manage the Celestial Dragons.

Carl left the bar without looking back.

Only Shanks was stunned where he was.

His originally playful expression froze instantly.

After leaving the bar, Carl used his Observation Haki to cover the entire island, and instantly knew where Lu Jiu and her son were.

"You guys wait for me on the boat, or if you're bored, you can go down and walk around, but don't go too far. The guy in the bar just now is Garp's grandson. Be careful if Garp suddenly comes back, or I won't be able to save you in time."

"Yes, Captain"

"And Clo, did you see the long-haired muscular man among them just now? He is your target from now on. He is the vice captain of the Red Hair Pirates. If you want to become my vice captain, you have to work hard."

"Well, that's all I have to say. I'll go deliver something first."

After he finished speaking, Carl disappeared with a dozen consecutive [shaves].

He came to a place with a beautiful view. There was a small yard built with a wooden house on the open ground.

The yard was fenced with wood, and there were several small fields in the yard where fruits and vegetables were planted.

Carl walked into the yard. There was no one in the yard at this time, but there was smoke rising from the wooden house.

"Ace, help mom serve the dishes, and go call Luffy back for dinner."

"I know, Mom."

Karl followed the voice and walked into the inner room.

A child of six or seven years old came out of the kitchen with a dish. He was a little wary when he saw Karl.

"Who are you?"

"You are Ace, right?"

Carl did not answer his question, but asked

"Yes, I'm Ace. Who are you?"

"Ace, who are you talking to?"

After hearing the noise from the inner room, the kitchen came out to check.

"You, you are, Carl?"

"Aunt Lu Jiu, long time no see."

After hearing Carl's answer, Lu Jiu hurriedly pulled Carl to sit at the dining table.

"It's been a long time since we last met. If Garp hadn't told me a few months ago that you came to the East China Sea, had a fight with him, and disappeared, I would have thought I would never see you again. I am so grateful to you back then, otherwise I would not have been able to give birth to Ace so safely."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to grab Ace, who was at a loss, and held him in his arms, touching Ace's head with a doting look on his face.

At that time, after Roger surrendered himself in exchange for the safety of mother and child, the couple thought that this would allow Lu Jiu to give birth smoothly. Unexpectedly, Roger went to find Carl for the last time. Carl's guess made Roger feel very uncomfortable. If

Carl hadn't arrived in time and given Lu Jiu the ability of an animal-type fruit to strengthen her physique, Lu Jiu might have died of exhaustion after giving birth to Ace after 20 months of pregnancy.

"Ace, this is your brother Carl. It was thanks to him that you were able to be born safely. If he hadn't come to protect your mother, you might not be able to see her now."

Ace was obviously a little shy, especially Carl's appearance, which would have seemed very strange if he hadn't been on the Grand Line.

"Hey, kid, why are you like this? You were so wild when playing with Luffy, and now you meet your benefactor and don't even know how to say hello."

Lu Jiu looked at Ace and felt like he was going to be punished by the family rules because he didn't make any further moves.

"It's okay, Aunt Lujiu"

"I actually came here to give Ace something. After thinking about it again and again, I still think it is better to give it to him."

He took out the Flame-Flame Fruit in the sack.

The fiery red fruit with the flame pattern lay quietly on the dining table.

"Carl, what are you doing? I'm very grateful to you for saving my mother and me. Why are you bringing this here now?"

"Aunt Lu Jiu, these are not important. This is a natural devil fruit called the Flame-Flame Fruit. After eating it, you can control the power of fire."

"I came here this time just to give this fruit to Ace. In fact, the main reason why I was able to find this fruit was because Uncle Roger gave me the clue to find the Seven Star Sword."

"So it wouldn't be a big deal if I gave this fruit to Ace."

"Besides, this is just a devil fruit. I think Ace, as a descendant of the Pirate King, must have some means to protect himself. Otherwise, if Ace's identity is exposed, it will be a disaster for him. It is not a choice for him whether he wants to live a stable life or not."

Carl, Lujugarp and others know that Ace will not be safe even if he does not become a pirate. He can't even be a navy. He either hides for the rest of his life or goes out to sea to find the power he needs.

Whether he goes out to sea or hides, he will be exposed sooner or later. It is just a matter of time. So I think for the safety of this kid's life, I should give him the Flame-Flame Fruit in advance.

For this reason, Carl also specially imagined some fruit development functions based on his own use of the Flame-Flame Fruit.

What flame wings, what ten thousand degree furnace, everything, no matter what is weird or not, as long as it works and can save lives and escape, it's fine.

"Oh, and this is my opinion on the development of the Flame-Flame Fruit, as well as my own practice of physical skills, swordsmanship, and domineering training."

"Ace, listen carefully now. I don't care whether you hate your father or not, but this training manual was written by me based on my own experience and the teachings of your father Roger. Even if you hate him, he is still your father, and you will never have peace in your life."

"Did you hear that?"

Carl looked at Ace, and Lu Jiu beside him gently pushed Ace's shoulder.

"Reply quickly"

"I, I, I heard it."
