Chapter 173: Grandfather and Grandson Talk
Back then, let alone the Navy and the World Government, probably even the Rocks Pirates didn't know that Rocks had already taken a wife and even fathered a child before his death.
Rocks had clearly foreseen that he might perish at God Valley.
Therefore, long before, secretly and without anyone knowing, he had smuggled his wife and even their born child away, hiding them from everyone.
No one knew about this for many years, otherwise how could Rocks have Luna as a Granddaughter now?
In this regard, Rocks was much stronger than Roger.
Garp now had to admit that this guy Rocks, whether in terms of strength or intellect, was far superior to Roger.
But thinking about it, it made sense; after all, Rocks' bounty was as high as 6 billion.
"Hahaha, that's right, Luna is my Granddaughter. Little Luna, tell them your full name."
Seeing Garp's astonished expression, Rocks, who found it absolutely hilarious, couldn't hold back and immediately laughed and spoke. At the same time, he personally confirmed it, as he was simply too satisfied with his Granddaughter.
She was charming, beautiful, and captivating, possessing breathtaking beauty. He could see the reflection of himself and his wife in Luna; her appearance was impeccable, earning a perfect score in his heart.
She was strong, capable, and possessed a charisma he lacked. Having just watched the battle from inside the ship's cabin, he was filled with endless envy.
Good heavens, these Little girls were much stronger than the bunch of two-faced, rebellious crewmates he had back in the day.
Moreover, Luna had enabled him to return to the sea after 38 years, coming back from hell.
Due to all these factors, especially the bond of kinship, Rocks naturally adored his Little Granddaughter Luna now.
"Old Man Garp, my name is Rocks D. Luyue."
Luna admitted it openly, because, just as she had thought, there was no need to hide anymore.
At this, many people were utterly shocked, especially those who had lived through that era. Looking at the grandfather and Granddaughter pair, their faces instantly went blank, as if they had turned to stone.
This included Navy veterans like Sengoku, Tsuru, and Zephyr, as well as others who had fought Rocks to varying degrees, suffered defeat, or had truly witnessed Rocks' strength and ability.
"Old Captain, he really kept that hidden."
"That old bastard, we never knew he had a wife back then."
"Damn it, no wonder he looked down on me back then."
"Why did that old bastard have to come back?"
Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido spoke one after another.
However, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido were clearly just complaining.
When Charlotte Linlin was still on the ship back then, she wasn't the extremely obese old hag she is now; she was definitely the beauty of the ship.
According to her dream, she wanted to bear children with any powerful man to build a huge family, so it was impossible for her not to covet Rocks. But every time she made a move, she was ruthlessly rejected by Rocks. This matter, even now, still filled Charlotte Linlin with resentment.
But now she understood. Good heavens, he already had a sweetheart.
But she should have looked at herself; how could Rocks ever be interested in a sow like her?
Kaido, at this moment, was also furious and wanted to punch someone. Of course, he desperately coveted the two Little girls in the Pink Hat Pirate Crew who possessed the White Tiger and Phoenix Fruit abilities. But now Rocks was back, and Luna was Rocks' Granddaughter.
Good heavens, as a former apprentice crew member, Kaido knew exactly how terrifying Rocks was. If he dared to lay a finger on Luna's crewmates, Rocks would likely erupt in fury, become absolutely enraged, and come to the New World just to beat him up.
Therefore, Kaido was now filled with endless anger and frustration—in other words, he chickened out.
