Chapter 6: Ch 6 - Marine Hero Garp
While Luffy was shivering in the jungle, at the entrance, an old man in his late sixties was walking with his hands into his pants.
He was a tall, tanned, broad-chested, muscular old man with a goatee and a scar over his left eye.
"Let's go and see how the kid's going. It's been two days already."
Monkey D. Garp, or popularly known as Garp the Fist. He was the grandfather of Luffy and a Vice-admiral in the Navy. He was also the only person to have the title of 'Hero'.
He was also known for being able to corner Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, many times during his younger days.
Despite being just a Vice-Admiral, he held authority equal to that of an Admiral. And he was quite a respected and easy-going person.
He was seen as a great and famous figure around the world.
Yet, at this moment, the said man was picking up his nose while walking leisurely in the jungle.
"I wonder how the kid's doing. He has to survive in such conditions if he wants to become a strong marine."
He murmured while making his way toward the spot, where he left his grandson.
Garp was such a character. This was not the first time when he pulled such stunts. Even before this, he had left Luffy in a forest for three days, only to find him exhausted and hungry.
But the old guy had no idea that his grandson's soul was replaced by a soul from another world.
"Ehh? Where is he? I clearly remember that I left that brat at this place." Garp scratched his head, worried as he observed the place. "Just where did he go?"
While Garp was busy looking around for his grandson, Luffy pulled up himself. He bought a better gun and sword to at least be on the safe side. And to one hundred percent, he even consumed the Warp-Warp fruit that he received as a gift from the system.
He almost puked out his intestines after he tasted that horrible fruit. It's no wonder it was compared to some of the worst things.

Just as he consumed the fruit, not only did he receive some more stats aside from his original ones, but his Observation Haki level increased, breaking the charts.
Luffy felt like he could perceive the entire island. He could observe any place he wanted and could find all the living organisms inhabiting the island at the current moment.
'W-W-What is going on?... My head feels like it is going to split...' Luffy grabbed his head, feeling a nerve-bursting pain.
[It's alright host. Since you have consumed an awakened devil fruit with your weak body, it will take time for you to adjust to it. The fruit has granted you extra stat points which you can observe behind your stats. But continuous use of your powers will pose a huge burden on your body, so it is advised to keep it under control. And since you can wrap at any location, your Observation Haki has improved to a very high level.]
*Tti-ring*
[You learned 'Future Sight'.]
[You achieved an unbelievable feat. 300 Stat Points have been granted.]
'What the hell...' Luffy was left dumbfounded staring at the reward with his mouth agape and eyeballs threatening to jump out of their sockets.
[Future Sight: A master of Observation Haki will be able to see a short period into the future.]
Luffy was left dumbfounded by the new skill. It was a skill that the original Luffy learned about during his deathly fight with Katakuri and yet he learned it just by consuming a devil fruit.
'It is just like how Enel's haki was too strong because of him consuming the Goro Goro no mi. Well, anyway, it is a huge plus for me to get such a powerful ability so early... Enough of that, I should first deal with the problem at hand since it could pose a huge threat.'
Luffy calmed down and quickly adjusted the new stat points, increasing his strength. He then turned his attention to the strong aura and saw a silhouette made from the aura. The man had no harmful intention as Luffy could feel worry and panic from that person's emotions.
The aura transformed into a bulky figure making Luffy furrow his brows as a picture of a certain man appeared in Luffy's mind.
To confirm his doubt, he made his way towards the old man.
On the other side, Garp was getting worried, looking around for Luffy. Even though he was harsh on Luffy during his training but he still cared deeply for his grandson.
Just as it looked like he was becoming impatient and ready to turn the entire forest upside down, he felt a presence approaching him.
Turning in that direction, he saw a young boy walking out from the deeper part of the forest.
"Grandpa, you're back!"
Hearing the familiar voice, a smile appeared on Garp's face as he raised his fist, faking his anger.
"You brat, you dare t- Ehhh?!..."
But his words got stuck in his throat when he saw a young boy around the age of 9-10 running towards him.
Garp watched the kid with a gaping mouth as he hugged him.
He couldn't believe his eyes. Now that the young boy had hugged him, he could tell that he was really his grandson.
But for some reason, he was feeling a dark and sinister aura from his body which was quite different from Luffy's usual cheerful aura.
How could that Marine Hero know that his grandson had left the world and was replaced by a very dangerous person?
Not only but Luffy's body exuded the aura of an experienced guy who had grown through the tribulations of life.
'Hmm, what did this kid experience to give such vibes?...'
It was not clear whether he was feeling it because of his Observation Haki or he had seen enough in his life to see through a person...
After five minutes, the duo found themselves sitting in front of a bonfire with loads of meat placed around to cook it.
"Huh? So you're saying you hunt this tiger? Haha, that's my grandson!" Garp looked at the giant tiger's bones and skin lying at the back.
