I'm going to be a pirate
Chapter 2
"I'm going to be a pirate"
It had been nine years and Luffy was 14 years old. He hadn't forgotten Shanks, and not just because of his hat. Ace also remembered well the stories Luffy had told about Shanks.
Five years after Shanks left, Garp had been called back to duty by the Navy. His grandchildren should be old enough by then, the Navy said in a statement to Garp.
"I won't let you do that.", Garp shouted, once again showing up in the village. "Should I care? You just ran away four years ago and since then I've made my own decisions all by myself.", Ace replied to his grandfather. "I won't let you do that anyway. You will go to the navy and start a big kajere there." "Nothing there. I'm going to be a pirate and that won't stop me." The entire village was already listening and wondering about Ace. Back in the days when Ace was little, he used to say he would be as good a marine member as his grandpa. "Ace is sensible. You always wanted to be like your grandpa.", Mayor Woop Slapp intervened. "Stay out of the way, Mayor. It's a matter between me and my grandfather." "Well, if you really want, then you have to fight for your goal Ace." Luffy who didn't really want to believe his eyes and ears followed them. He tried to stop Ace from wanting to know Garp was too strong. But Ace could not be stopped and fearlessly went into the fight against his grandfather. As soon as the fight started, Ace slid across the floor, but he didn't let that deter him. Ace wanted to become a pirate at all costs.
A short time later, Ace was so taken with him that he could hardly get up, but he kept pulling himself up. At that moment Luffy remembered Shanks' words: "You want to be a pirate. You are still a child. Hahahahahahahahahahaha. You should be clear about one thing. If you want to become a pirate, you have to be stiff and fearless. You are not allowed to show in front of an opponent, no matter who, that you are afraid. If you do that, you are not a pirate and you will never be a good captain or king of pirates in your life, because only the one who is the bravest, cleverest and is most fearless, it can be. "
Now Luffy understood that too. Shanks meant that you shouldn't give up in any situation in your life. And that's exactly what Ace was doing. Since Luffy understood that he could cheer on his brother now. This cheering on his brother gave Ace the strength to assert himself against Garp.
Half an hour later, Garp stopped spanking Ace. He had seen what he wanted. "I do not agree with your wishes, but you showed me that you have a strong will." With these words Garp told his grandson that he could go. And he did that the next day."At some point we will meet on the Grand Line. I promise you." Ace wanted to leave with these words, but he said: "I hope you will be a pirate by name."
Luffy was terribly bored with her in the wet days. He just didn't know what to do because Ace always had the best ideas. But somehow he had to pass the time and so he started to train all by himself.
After three years, Luffy finally wanted to go and become a pirate. His grandfather was not in the village when he fasted this decision. Exactly at the moment when Luffy wanted to leave, his grandpa appeared. "You can't stop me and in an emergency I'll fight back. Better than Ace." "That's what I call conceit.", Garp laughed. He turned and disappeared. Luffy didn't know what it should echo, but to be honest he didn't really care at the moment. And so he set out to look for his gang together.
