Kingdom of Goa, Mount Corpo.
Garp, who was wearing large beige pants and a white T-shirt, found the child sitting alone on the edge of the cliff.
"Grandpa...you think, should I be born in this world?" A boy about ten years old, with a bandage on his face, asked Garp.
"Would it be a good thing to be born?"
"..."
Garp had a complicated look on his face and sat on a stone nearby.
"This... you will know it as long as you live."
He looked at the endless blue sky and recalled the pink-haired woman on the hospital bed, lovingly looking at the baby in her hands: "The girl will be called An, and the boy will be called Ace. This is what he decided... The child's name is Gol D. Ace..."
That amazing woman used her own life to protect her child's life.
…
"Do you believe it, Garp, my baby is about to be born?"
"Unfortunately, I will no longer be in this world by then."
"Why are you talking to me, a sailor, like this? Roger!"
In a dark prison room.
"We are old friends who have fought countless times."
The candle flickered slightly.
"You are as trustworthy as my partner."
The man smiled brightly at him and announced to his opponent: "You will protect him."
"I will leave my child to you."
"Stop making your own decisions!" He threw away the lantern in his hand and held on to the prison door.
"No, you will definitely help me."
…
"I...I heard that you have a grandson. What is he like?"
Ace's question brought Garp out of his memories.
"If you have a chance, let me meet you..." A smile appeared on Garp's face.
…
Frost Moon Village:
Huhuhu...
He waved the sword blade in his hand and slashed at the boulder, only to see the cold light flashing. The huge force combined with the sword blade easily chopped the stone that was almost as high as the body.
Very good, you are already a stone-cutting swordsman!
Luffy put away his sword, and it was almost time to leave Shuoyue Village. There was nothing more to learn here.
Learning to sword is similar to learning to draw. The first thing you need to learn is how to exert force and basic routines and fighting styles.
All that's left is to keep exercising.
Only when the body is strong enough can the swordsmanship be improved.
There is no magical swordsmanship, but strength is the foundation of everything.
As long as you have the power to overwhelm everything and pick up a sword, even if you don't know how to swordsmanship, you will still be a sword master.
Think about what to save again——
Shanks will definitely let him return to Windmill Village. Before that, he should have something to save.
Luffy recalled what he had experienced when he was a child... A series of vague memories flashed in his mind, and he remembered that the bandits from the back mountain punched "Luffy" one after another, beating him with bruises all over his body, exposing his body. Rampant smile...
The bandits in the back mountain are the kind of bandits who will attack children at will. They are the subordinates of bandit king Sig.
"Guess who I am--"
His small white hands covered Luffy's eyes, and his voice was a bit like Kuina's cold voice.
But Luffy knew that it was definitely not Kuina, because Kuina was a hard-working swordsman, and her hands would not be so white and delicate, but like his, the palms of her hands were a little rough.
"Who is it?" Luffy responded to the pirate princess's question.
"It's Uta!"
"Discovered!" Uta let go of the hand covering Luffy's eyes and said with a smile. She leaned forward and put her hands behind her back.
"How did Luffy know it was Uta? I obviously changed my voice?"
"Maybe it's intuition," he said.
Only an idiot would not be able to guess that there are only a limited number of children who have a good relationship with me and can play games. What can they do by just changing their voices?
Not hard to guess at all.
"When did Luffy finish learning swordsmanship?" she asked.
"Ah, Shanks, are you in a hurry? You've already finished studying. After saying goodbye, let's leave tomorrow." Luffy said.
"It's not Shanks who asked..." Uta said vaguely, looking at the tree in the distance with his purple eyes.
Luffy stretched, "I'm so tired, let's make some desserts together!"
He said.
"Can Luffy make desserts?" Uta's eyes twinkled with stars.
"If it's simpler, you can still do it."
Luffy said as the two of them walked towards the dojo's kitchen.
Because I worked in a dessert shop in my previous life, I was quite familiar with those high-calorie foods and desserts.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that it can be reproduced directly in the world of pirates.
After all, the level of raw materials is quite difficult. In the previous life, I only needed to take the raw materials and mix them in proportion and memorize the steps.
But in this life, the raw materials can be prepared by oneself.
But it would be nice to do something simpler.
Luffy took a scale, a strainer, and a tea cup.
Get some drinks first.
Milk tea is one of the best desserts to make. Tea determines the upper limit and milk determines the lower limit, and both are common raw materials in Shuangyue Village.
If you want to make caramel milk tea, you have to fry the sugar first, which is too troublesome.
With simple mixing, Luffy made a fragrant and smooth milk tea, followed by dessert.
Beat an egg, a little sugar, stir, pour the milk, pass it through a strainer, and heat it in the microwave for two minutes...ah, there is no microwave.
Luffy poured water into the pot and estimated how long it would take to cook it. When the time was up, it would turn into milk paste. All he had to do was make the milk thick and thick, and then pour some small ingredients into it that wouldn't ruin the taste. , even if completed.
Probably because I'm addicted to it.
Luffy got some more ginger and made ginger milk. This is usually used to pick up girls and take care of menstrual periods, but before he could show off his skills, he was reincarnated.
My sister didn't realize it, but she learned a lot about the technique, and now she can use it to make children happy.
Luffy placed a plate of simple desserts on the plate.
Uta couldn't help but take a sip.
The only drawback is that these are hot drink ranges.
"It tastes good!" Uta held the milk tea in her arms. This thing attracted her first. "It would be nice if it was cold." Uta said.
"That's right."
Luffy nodded. Compared to hot drinks, cold drinks are naturally more comfortable.
"Let's get some cold drinks next time you have time."
Mainly because he couldn't find ice cubes. Shanks' ship did have edible ice cubes, and the chef would also prepare some cold drinks for everyone to drink, but those cold drinks were simple fruit juices and the like.
The adults all drink, and the fruit juice is specially made for the children to drink, so naturally they seldom do any flower work.
These things of Luffy's mainly focus on technological innovation, overtaking in corners.
Speaking of which, Shanks is also a master at making desserts, and can also make some super complicated desserts.
There should be those kinds of syrups in this world.
I'll look for it when I have time, and take a look at the recipes in this world...
Luffy took these things to find Zoro and the others. Uta followed him with a cup of hot milk tea, looking at the other desserts and blowing into the cup.
Hot drinks are meant to satisfy one's cravings and cannot be consumed immediately...
