REBIRTH IN ONE PIECE AS DEPUTY CAPTAIN

Chapter 164

“S…”

Lin Tian raised his hand and slowly fumbled for something in his clothes, accidentally touching the wound and breathing in the cold air in pain.

This violent rage of Garp was not merciful. He just wanted to beat Lin Tian.

“Sshh, Grandpa always hits so hard. How come it hurts when I’m a rubber?” Luffy lay on the ground and complained.

Luffy doesn’t know why, but Lin Tian can see that Garp used Haki secretly. Otherwise, physical attacks like fists would not affect Luffy, a rubber man with good malleability.

Although Ace didn’t say anything on the other side, the frowning brow and the slightly distorted face all showed that Ace was also very painful.

After groping for a while in the clothes, Lin Tian took out a small glass bottle, which is exactly the kind of medicine dedicated to World Nobles. Unfortunately, the bottle that Hancock gave to Lin Tian has already been used up… But in the last time he robbed the heavenly gold, Lin Tian got dozens of these bottles at once. With so many medicines, Lin Tian couldn’t always carry them with him, so he just took one or two bottles with him at any time. —The rest, together with those belonging to themselves in the heavenly gold, will be transported to Sabaody Archipelago by the Revolutionary Army, handed over to Shakky. Then Shakky will give it to Hancock later.

[TL note: Sabaody Archipelago is the final island in Paradise, close to the Red Line. Though it is called an archipelago, it is actually a massive mangrove forest growing out from the middle of the ocean with each tree of the forest serving as an “island” on which people live. Since it is just a group of trees and not an island like those found in the Grand Line, it has no magnetic pull for which to affect a Log Pose. Due to the place being in close proximity to the part of the Red Line bordering the first half of the Grand Line and the New World, it is a highly visited rest stop for all sorts of travelers to prepare before entering the New World.]

[TL note: Shakuyaku, most commonly known by her nickname Shakky, is the bartender of Shakky’s Rip-off Bar on the Sabaody Archipelago. She is a former pirate, the romantic partner of Silvers Rayleigh, and is also known for once being chased by the legendary Marine, Monkey D. Garp.]

‘Although what I get is only a small part of the heavenly gold, but a small part of the heavenly gold is also a very large amount of wealth. A large amount becomes very troublesome to hide.’

After thinking about it, Hancock is the most suitable in the end. Now Hancock is the king of the daughter country. Recently, Marine Headquarters is also discussing whether to make Hancock one of Seven Warlords.

Pouring out a little bit carefully, apply a few to some serious places, and then cover the lid. ‘After all, this thing is very precious, so I always carried two bottles with me.’

Lin Tian was about to put it back, but he thought for a while, glanced at Luffy and Ace, who were equally painful on the ground, moved towards Luffy on the ground and threw it lightly.

Luffy hurriedly reached out to catch something flying when he noticed something flying, but the movement he made was too big for the injured him, and he couldn’t help but scream in pain.

Ace had discovered Lin Tian’s actions a long time ago. Lin Tian threw something to Luffy and wanted to remind him, but Luffy had already received it. But, of course, Luffy had nothing to do, so he didn’t say much.

The pain has subsided. Luffy opened his palm and took a look and found that it was just a glass bottle. Then, looking at Lin Tian, he asked, “What is this? I thought it was food.”

Lin Tian couldn’t help but smile. Luffy was really tough. At this time, he still thought about eating. Finally, he sat up and said: “This is medicine. After applying it on the body, it can quickly relieve pain.”

“Really? That’s amazing.” Luffy said, looking at the vial in his hand.

Without taking precautions, he opened the lid of the glass bottle and slowly applied it to his wounds. After a while, a cool feeling came from his hand, and the pain from the wound was reduced a lot.

The medicine efficacy is so good, Luffy quickly applied it to the rest of the wounds. After the application, the pain in all parts of the body was relieved.

Throwing the medicine at Ace, he said eagerly: “Ace, use it. This thing is really useful. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

After taking the bottle, Ace was not like Luffy, but after thinking about it, he opened the bottle cap and applied the medicine. However, in front of Lin Tian, Ace still had a wall in his heart.

After applying the medicine, the pain really disappeared. Ace returned the medicine bottle to Lin Tian and embarrassedly said: “Thank you!”

“It’s a nothing.” Lin Tian smiled slightly, waving his hand gently.

Luffy asked, “Hey, Lin Tian, you are a student of Grandpa. You said you’re from Grand Line, is it true?”

Shrugging, Lin Tian said with a smile: “Of course. I’ve stayed on the Grand Line since I came in this world.”

“That’s amazing, you were born on Grand Line, and you still stay there!” Luffy exclaimed.

A little surprise flashed in Ace’s eyes. He didn’t expect Lin Tian to actually live in Grand Line. —The two people misunderstood that he was born in Grand Line. Lin Tian only claimed the first time he possessed this body, he was in Grand Line.

Knowing that Lin Tian was born in Grand Line, Ace was also curious and asked: “Lin Tian, what is the Grand Line like?”

For most East Blue people, the Grand Line is a terrifying place, which is also called Pirate’s Graveyard. Every year there are countless pirates there, but no one comes back. The Grand Line has only one entry channel from the sea and land. It can only be passed through the Calm Belt or land. Some strong Great Pirates can pass through the Calm Belt. And when you enter as a pirate on the Grand Line, you will either die on it or become stronger step by step and continue moving towards the end of the Grand Line.

[TL note: The Calm Belts are two areas of ocean that border the north and south of the Grand Line. The Calm belts are very effective barriers for those trying to enter the Grand Line; these areas are always completely calm, never having any ocean currents or winds blowing, making it impossible for non-self propelled ships to travel through. They are also nesting grounds for the worlds largest Sea Kings.]

Thinking about it, Lin Tian propped his chin and said: “That’s a place where the strong can stay. It gathers the strong from all oceans of the world. It belongs to the stage of the strong. Only the true powerhouse can make a place there. The one who conquered that ocean will become the Pirate King and stand on the World Peak. Over the years, the only person who has done this feat is only one person, Gol D. Roger.”

“The Pirate King! Pirate King is really exciting, but I will definitely be the next Pirate King.” Luffy said with a look of expectation.

“Gol D. Roger…”

For Luffy’s words this time, Ace did not refute but repeated the name in a low voice several times and fell into contemplation. The tone contains countless emotions. After all, he is the biological son of the Pirate King, Gol D.Roger.

‘Perhaps in Ace’s heart, he doesn’t want his father to be a world-renowned Pirate King. Instead, he just wanted to be an ordinary person so that his mother wouldn’t die for him, and he wouldn’t have been born an orphan.’

Luffy asked: “Lin Tian, you’ve been living in Grand Line. Have you heard of Shanks?”

Somewhat uncomfortable to say so, Lin Tian moved his position and said to Luffy’s curious look: “Of course I’ve heard of Shanks. Everyone on the Grand Line has heard of this name.”

“Hahaha!” Luffy looked excited and said: “Ace, let me tell you, Shanks is a Great Pirate. I want to see him soon.”

He pressed the straw hat on his head, “Wait for me, Shanks, I will definitely go to the Grand Line and become the Pirate King, and then I will return this hat to you.”

Lin Tian turned his gaze and looked at the Straw Hat on Luffy’s head, “Luffy, can you show me the straw hat on your head?”

“Yeah.” Luffy nodded and complied. He gently took off the Straw Hat on his head and handed it to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian reached out and took a closer look. It was just an ordinary straw hat. If you bought it, it was only cost ten Berry. It was a little shabby and had some obvious repair marks on it. But it’s just such an ordinary straw hat. —Starting from the Pirate King Roger to Red-Haired Shanks, one of Four Emperors, and now to Luffy. The owners were not ordinary. He can wear such top Straw Hats are powerhouses that are qualified to change the world.

After watching for a while, Lin Tian returned the straw hat to Luffy.

The careful Ace had been observing the changes on Lin Tian’s face. Regarding the huge changes on Lin Tian’s face after seeing Luffy’s straw hat, he couldn’t help but become curious. ‘Does Luffy’s straw hat have any meaning?’

Taking it back, Luffy put it on again and asked. “By the way, besides the powerhouse stage, what else does the Grand Line have?”

“Yes, Grand Line is still a magical place where there are all kinds of strange things and creatures, even events.”

Ace said: “Wonderful. What are the specific these magical places?”

Holding his chin and thinking about it, Lin Tian explained: “For example, a mermaid whose lower body is a fish, and the upper body is a human. There are also long-handed tribes with two elbow joints, long legs, and feet. A small human race with a thick thumb. The Giant Race with a height of tens of meters…”

“It’s amazing. I didn’t expect that Grand Line to have such a magical thing…” Luffy’s eyes flashed, and he said with excitement.

The expression on Ace’s face was not much worse than Luffy’s.

Lin Tian laughed and continued to introduce, “More than that, you may spend four seasons a day on Grand Line, but there is an island that will thunder all year round…”

“So amazing…”

…….

The quieter the night, the three teenagers were still talking to each other.

The more they talked, the farther and farther the topic is. In the end, they didn’t even know what they were talking about, but from time to time, there would be a burst of happy laughter and cheerful voices.

During the conversation, the feelings between the three were getting closer and closer, and there was no estrangement and vigilance between each other. Thus, a Marine Young Master and two teenagers who will become Great Pirates in the future began the first step of getting to know each other.

Although the brotherhood between life and death has not been reached, the first step has been taken, and friendship has been forged.

……

And above, on the hammock, one silhouette was sleeping on it. This person was Garp. Garp hadn’t at all entered the Mountain Bandit hut but has been lying here, just like this. —After throwing the troublesome little demon together, Garp can’t rest assured.

These three little demons, but standing on opposite sides of Marine and pirates, this is what Garp was worried about. People with different positions would find it difficult to get along with each other. Unexpectedly, the three of them started talking slowly, and the more they talked, the happier they become.

The worry on Garp’s face gradually turned into a smile.

For these three people to form a bond with each other, this is what Garp likes to see and what Garp hopes to see. Garp brought Lin Tian here this time so that the three can know each other.

In the future, the three people will be able to help each other for the bond between them. However, the identity of the three people is unusual, and the future will not be normal.

Seeing the three people chatting happily, Garp made a secret decision in his heart!
