The Pirate Garen

Galen played the knight of justice in front of the children tirelessly, subtly instilling his own ideas in them and helping them establish a normal three views, and his gorgeous and luxurious armor became Galen's trump card to capture the favor of the children.

Even when Galen was saying some dry preaching words, the children could surround him with great interest and listen carefully, and kept these plain and straightforward sentences in their hearts like treasures.

"Kid King" Galen was talking excitedly, but suddenly found something wrong:

Among the children listening to the lecture around him, it seemed that a strange guy had infiltrated.

Compared with other young children, this guy is significantly older than the standard;

He looks about ten, five or six years old, with a handsome face and sharp edges, wearing a simple straw hat and a simple red waistcoat; his figure is not tall but his proportions are perfect, his muscles are lean and strong without being bloated.

There were fresh bruises on his hands, feet, and face, but these seemingly serious injuries did not affect the youth's high spirit that seemed to have never changed.

Of course Galen knew who the boy was:

Monkey D. Luffy, the son of the leader of the revolutionary army, the grandson of the naval hero, the successor of One Piece, the descendant of the D family, the appointed person of the four emperors with red hair, and the master of the straw hat.

All in all, a very NB character.

Facing such a NB character, Galen immediately felt a lot of fear.

This is not because Galen is cowardly, but because

A strange-looking creature whose jaw dropped tens of centimeters, whose eyes were as bright as a searchlight, and whose crystal-clear hala almost fell to its lap, just leaned in front of him with such an excited expression.

Galen is not afraid.

Galen took a step back quietly, and couldn't help but ask again, "What do you want?"

"knight!!"

However, Luffy rushed over like a hungry tiger, with both hands tightly on Galen's gorgeous armor and refused to let go, his voice trembled with excitement:

"Good, so handsome!!"

The leader of the Pirate faction in Windmill Village was captured by Knight Galen just like that.

"Ha ha."

Galen smiled uncomfortably, and stretched out his hands quietly to break off Luffy's hands clasped on his armor.

Luffy made a lot of strength, Galen got a little serious before he forcibly separated his hands from his armor, but was wrapped around his arms by the over-excited Luffy.

And this "entanglement" is not a description, but a statement: Luffy's hand suddenly became longer, and it wrapped tightly around Galen's gauntlet several times.

Looking at this weird scene, Galen had no choice but to say:

"Can you let go of your hand?"

Luffy turned a deaf ear to Galen's words, and just said, "Knight, be my companion!"

"companion?"

Galen was slightly taken aback.

Before he could answer, Luffy said on his own:

"I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

"When I go to sea, I want you to be my companion!"

Galen finally reacted:

This knight outfit is not only very popular among children, but also very cool in Lu Fei's eyes;

And for this kind of "extremely cool" character, Luffy will always invite the other party to be his companion straight away.

Galen pulled Luffy off his body angrily, took a lot of effort to break free from the rubber arm that Luffy was wrapped around, and finally said firmly:

"I reject."

Galen took advantage of his height and slipped Luffy, who was still in development, in his hand, but Luffy still waved his arms restlessly, and said excitedly:

"Be a pirate with me!"

Galen, however, had a bit of a bad taste in molesting the protagonist, so he put Luffy back on the ground and asked him:

"Being a pirate?"

"Straw hat boy, why do you want to degenerate yourself and become a bad guy?"

"Bad guy?"

Lu Fei lightly supported the straw hat that was crooked by himself, and said in a natural tone:

"This is my dream!"

"What's so bad about being a pirate? How can you be a bad guy?"

In Luffy's eyes, pirate has never been a derogatory term.

After seeing Luffy's unique world view, Galen simply changed the way of asking:

"Murder, robbery, extortion, kidnapping, theft, sabotage."

"Do you do these bad things?"

"of course not."

It was still Luffy's flat and pure voice that answered Galen, so firm without any hesitation.

Galen expressed his opinion:

"Since you don't do bad things, then you are not a pirate at all!"

"People like you are just adventurers and navigators."

"No!"

Luffy replied again with simple words:

"I am a pirate."

Luffy wouldn't argue with Galen at all, he would just repeat his unwavering belief over and over again.

Galen's attempt to change Luffy's mind failed again, unable to shake even the slightest bit.

"Bastard, come back to me!"

A caring iron fist hit Luffy's head heavily, and Luffy hugged his head pain.

Immediately afterwards, Garp stretched out a powerful hand, and pulled Luffy back who had been beaten out of breath like a kitten.

While dragging Luffy, Garp said angrily:

"How many times have I said this? You will follow me as a navy in the future!"

"How dare you yell in front of me to become a pirate!"

Luffy struggled helplessly under Garp's hands, so he had no choice but to refute with words:

"I don't care! I just want to be the Pirate King!"

Garp turned a deaf ear to this and just dragged Luffy further and further away.

"etc!"

Galen suddenly called out to Garp, looked at Luffy with interest and said:

"How about I talk to him again?"

"Maybe I can change his mind a little bit."

"kindness?"

Karp asked curiously:

"how do you want to do it?"

"My grandson's thoughts are not so easy to change."

"let me try."

Then, Galen walked up to Luffy and said to him:

"No matter what you think, in my opinion, only those who do bad things are pirates."

"And you are just a free adventurer with the title of pirate."

Galen said "persuasively":

"Being an adventurer is not a bad thing, and I won't dislike or stop it."

"However, I think you should change your name."

"Change your name?"

Luffy asked a little puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"You are not a real pirate, so naturally you shouldn't be called 'One Piece'!"

Galen spoke his mind:

"Why don't you change your name to something more harmonious——"

"How about calling it 'One Piece'?"

Although "One Piece" and "One Piece" are only a difference in name, the impact they cause is very different:

The biggest difference is that a great "One Piece" will inspire a group of brave adventurers, and these adventurers may be mixed with some bad guys with bad intentions;

And a great "One Piece" has spawned countless pirates who are proud of their bandits. Among these pirates who do evil, they can barely find a few pure adventurers who are out of the mud and not stained.

This is basically the difference between rice mixed with sand and sand mixed with rice.

On the battlefield of public opinion and propaganda, the difference of one word is the world of difference.

Galen's future goal is to distinguish the harmless adventurers from the evil true pirates in the huge pirate group.

Gradually replacing the "One Piece" which is easy to mislead young people with the harmonious title of "One Piece" is one of the solutions he came up with.

And it is not a good experience to harmonize what you like.

After a few seconds of silence, Luffy showed an extremely disgusted expression:

"No, it sounds awful."

Galen had expected this for a long time, but continued to encourage: "Then how about we have a duel?"

"duel?"

Luffy's expression quickly changed to one of excitement again.

"That's right."

Galen encouraged Luffy and said:

"As long as you win, I will be your companion."

"If you lose, you will have to change your slogan to be 'One Piece' in the future!"

"certainly."

It seemed that this condition was too harsh for Luffy, Galen added:

"It doesn't matter if you lose now."

"When you defeat me in the future, you can get back the title of 'One Piece'."

"And, I will still be your companion at that time!"

"I promise!"

Luffy nodded very simply and neatly: "Let's have a duel!"

"Don't you think about it?"

Galen asked in surprise.

Lu Fei lightly supported the brim of his straw hat, and a sharp light quietly appeared in his eyes.

A fearless aura erupted from this young man, his voice was full of passionate fighting intent:

"If I can never defeat my opponent, then I am not qualified to be the One Piece!"

"knight!"

"I will make you my companion!"

After a while, Galen said to Luffy who was paralyzed by his two or three swords:

"So."

"Call the new slogan and try?"

"me"

Luffy has always been willing to gamble and admit defeat, but this time he was extremely entangled:

"I am the man who will become One Piece"
