【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 352 Luffy's Dad

"Luffy, I heard you saw your father?"

"Dad? Who is my dad? Do I have a dad?" Luffy's thoughts turned back, and he tilted his head and looked at his grandfather with confusion. He had never heard of this before. His grandfather had never told them about it, and Luffy had never mentioned their father.

He hadn't even realized that they had a living parent. He had always thought that his and Lucci's parents were long gone.

He didn't hate his father like Ace and Sabo did, it's just that he had never appeared. Since he could remember, there were only his brother and grandfather in his world.

"What? He didn't show up!" Garp pinched his nose with his little finger, not surprised by Luffy's answer. He smiled and said, "I think asking him to formally introduce himself to you may be asking too much of him!"

"When did this happen?" Sanji asked in confusion. There had been no special incidents of this kind during their voyage, except for the two times with Lucci and Ace.

"He said he was seeing you off in Rogue Town!"

"Rogue Town?" Zoro asked doubtfully, recalling what happened at that time.

"Where was Luffy's father at that time?" Sanji frowned and recalled what happened in Rogue Town in confusion, trying to remember if anything special happened at that time, but apart from the execution that still made them panic when they thought about it now, they didn't notice anything else.

"Luffy, did you meet anyone in Rogue Town?" Nami asked curiously. When they were in Rogue Town, they did not act together, so they were not very clear about what happened to Luffy and the others in Rogue Town.

Luffy thought back thoughtfully "I guess it's just Buggy and his crew?"

"The only person I remember is Smoker!" Zoro frowned.

Everyone immediately turned to look at Luffy in shock.

Luffy looked at Zoro in disbelief and gasped in shock, and just as he was about to panic thinking he was that Smoker guy's son, Nami interrupted him loudly.

"That's impossible!" Nami interrupted them in shock. "You idiots, it can't be him! If he is Luffy's father, then why would he keep chasing after Luffy? Besides, we've known him for a long time. Don't you think that if Luffy is his son, then he shouldn't have said something when he met us in Alabasta?"

"Wakakaka!" Garp burst into laughter when he heard their guesses, and tears of laughter came out. "Although it's funny that you think Smoker is Luffy's father, that's not the case!"

"So it's not him." Luffy breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't imagine the scene of Smoker becoming his and Lucci's father. Luffy continued to look at his grandfather in confusion and asked again, "Then what is my father?"

"I also want to know who Luffy's father is..." Nami looked at Garp curiously.

"Your father's name is... Monkey D. Dragon!" Garp said calmly while knocking on the wooden board.

The moment Garp said this, the only sound in the room was a series of shocked gasps.

Only Luffy looked at the shocked crowd with a puzzled look on his face, thinking about his grandfather's words thoughtfully. Suddenly, he thought of something and exclaimed, "Could it be that my father is a dragon?!"

"Idiot! Dragon is a name!!" Sanji yelled at Luffy in disbelief. How on earth did this guy hear it?

"So that's not it! Then why are you guys acting so strangely?" Luffy shrugged innocently.

"Oh, idiot, you don't even know the dragon's name!" Sanji was too tired to complain.

"Your father is a very important person!" Nami added in shock, still shocked by the secret she heard.

"Hey, Robin!" Luffy turned to look at Robin, knowing that she would answer him. Robin knew everything.

"Well, how should I explain it..." Robin stroked his chin and thought about how to explain it to the captain.

"Pirates generally don't attack the government or the navy. The only one who has the power to overthrow the World Government directly is Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army!"

Robin thought for a moment and began to explain the news. Her explanation was to help Luffy better understand. "In short, your father is a very dangerous person. To the World Government, the Revolutionary Army he led is the only one that directly opposes everything the World Government stands for."

"The World Government is furious and has always regarded him as the greatest threat, hunting him down as the world's top criminal... His life story is a mystery, and no one knows anything about him. The only news about Dragon that was revealed was about 10 years ago."

After saying that, Robin looked at Luffy with some concern.

"If he is the one wearing the cloak, then it makes sense. It is indeed mysterious." Zoro interjected.

"Oh, I see!" Sanji suddenly realized, "No wonder that guy helped Luffy stop Smoker."

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be kept secret? To be told out like this..." Nami looked around worriedly, afraid that someone would suddenly appear and eavesdrop. Fortunately, those marines had left at some point, and what they were talking about should not have been heard by the marines. However, she discovered an unexpected person outside the window. Usopp was actually eavesdropping!

"Yes, the Revolutionary Army is very dangerous, not just the Revolutionary Army itself, but anyone who is found by the World Government to be involved with the Revolutionary Army will suffer from the World Government..." Robin stopped the topic and didn't say the rest. Luffy and the others didn't need to know the further cruelty of the World Government.

Something flashed through Luffy's mind, just like Ace, their father was asked to keep it a secret.

Why did Grandpa choose to tell it at this time? Grandpa was very good at keeping secrets. As for the identity of Ace's father, Grandpa chose to tell him the truth one day after Ace went to sea on his seventeenth birthday. Of course, he explained to Grandpa that Ace had already told him, but at that time, Grandpa did not reveal anything about him and Lucci's biological father. It seemed that it was still a mysterious and strictly guarded secret. Until now, this can be confirmed from his behavior of letting the navy go out.

Speaking of the World Government, they had recently faced some of its agents, and they were indeed formidable. Luffy suddenly remembered what Rob Lucci had always called Lucci, and exclaimed, "Wait! Actually, the name Dragon's Son is what CP9 has always called Lucci!?"

The loud sound of a hammer hitting a wooden board brought Luffy back to his senses and he turned to look at his grandfather.

"Lucci is facing CP again?" Garp put down the metal hammer in his hand, staring at Luffy without blinking, with undisguised worry on his face.

"By the way, shouldn't Luffy be with you? Why hasn't he come out to see grandpa for so long?" Garp asked Luffy slowly.

Hearing his grandfather's question, Luffy subconsciously replied, "Lucci left when we landed on the island. He had something to do and should be with Ace now."

"Wait! Grandpa, do you know that Lucci is still alive!?" Luffy shouted immediately after he realized what was happening. He had always thought that his grandfather didn't know.

"I just found out recently too." Garp wiped his face roughly. "Lucci isn't here? Did he say where he was going?"

Luffy put his finger to his forehead and thought hard "Lucci didn't seem to say that!"

"Banaro Island." Robin said from the side.

"Is it there?" Karp frowned, his inner uneasiness growing.
