One Piece: Unreal Adventure-Chapter 58: Revolutionary Dragon

It was just another day at the Going Marry. They were making their way to Baratie. Luffy was the last one to wake up, usually, he didn't sleep that late, but today Sparky was cooking so he decided to get some more shut-eye.

Other than Luffy and Sparky the rest of the crew knew shit about cooking. So it fell on their shoulder. Even though they weren't any professionals in that art, they were far better than the others.

Both Luffy and Sparky were quite the eater and eventually, they had to learn to cook themselves, and Makino was kind enough in the learning process.

When Luffy got out of the room, he heard a murmur almost all the people on his ship except him were discussing something.

"What happened guys?" Luffy said as he walked towards them yawning, he was bringing along the nameless naginata on his shoulder. The plan was to get some workout done, he was strong already, and without any challenges, he wouldn't get any stronger. But it felt just wrong, skipping a good day of exercise.

"Look, Luffy they are calling us a hero." Usopp said excitedly pushing a newspaper on Luffy's face.

The captain grumbled still feeling a bit sleepy as he looked at the newspaper.

——————

Monkey D. Mario strikes again in two locations.

The Hero of the Dawn Island is gathering strong people under him,

This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

Underneath that, it showed pictures of Zoro, Kuina, Coby, and Usopp. Well, except Coby's face was covered with his mask.

And after that there was information and picture about Luffy and the team, beating the heck out of the Buggy Pirates and the Black Cat Pirates. Well, they had the picture of actually Luffy beating Buggy, and the other picture was the tied-up pirates that were left back at Usopp's village and the picture might have been taken when Usopp and Coby were collecting the bounties.

Now, almost all of them were regarded as heroes. The paper even made sure to add Zoro and Kuina's former epithet.

Pirate Hunter Zoro and White Lady Kuina joins the Hero Mario!

——————

The newspaper quickly crumbled under Luffy's hands. Before he held it up high and with one palm used Rokuogan to destroy any traces of the newspaper, only leaving some white pieces behind.

"Hey! Why did do that?" Usopp said franticly picking up the newspaper, only to cry silently as the newspaper was gone. Sparky seemed to be laughing his ass off while others seemed confused for the most part.

Well, except Coby. "Are you angry cause they got your name wrong?" the boy asked.

"It's much worse." Luffy sourly said. "I am pirate now, and they still call me by that stupid name..."

And that was when a sound started coming out of Sparky's bag, drawing the attention of everyone in the ship. "Perepereper... Perepereper..."

Sparky quickly took off his bag pack and took out the transponder snail. It was black in color and had a cool metal finish to it.

"Is that a transponder snail?" Johnny asked.

"I haven't seen that model before?" Yosaku said.

Only Nami had. It was one of those high tech ones, that costed a pretty penny, but granted a secure line to whoever talked from the other side.

This model was the same one that Makino used.

Luffy groaned upon hearing the call. "Don't answer that."

Sparky rolled his eyes, and started tapping on the side, securing their connection, before picking it up. A small holographic screen popped up on the snail.

"Spa Ke!" the monkey said, trying very hard to pronounce his name. The six-armed monkey was quite young, and he needed some time to fully develop his vocal cords. Sparky informed Luffy in a few months he might be able to speak. So he seemed to be able to pick up a few words...

"Wait? Is that you Sparky?" An image of a shirtless man popped up, he had a lean build, much like Luffy maybe a bit more leaner. And wore a cowboy hat and a pair of jeans. He looked at the monkey. "Oh, it is. How are you?"

The monkey shrugged and made a few sounds telling him he was good. And Sparky then pointed the snail towards Luffy who was standing still with a grumbled impression.

"And if it isn't my younger brother... eh, making a name for yourself as a hero. Your sure making gramps proud..." Ace said, trying his best not to laugh, as he held the newspaper high for Luffy and everyone around him to see. "I can already hear the screams of pirates... 'Run, Mario is coming!'" With that, he barked laughing.

"Why you... take that back, I fought them as pirates. I'm sure whoever is doing this, is doing it on purpose..." Luffy cocked his fist with a tick mark on his forhead. "I'm so going to roast the newspaper bird next time."

Ace was coming out of his fit of laughter, "Well, at least one of us has to follow Grandpa's route. The grandson of Marine Hero, well at least one of us needs to be a hero... keeping the family tradition and all."

"I fuking hate you."

"Uh... my lil bro's angry. What are you going to complain to the marines, about your big..." Ace flexed his biceps that had a tattoo on it, "...strong big brother, who also happens to be a successful pirate, unlike a certain someone."

The others in Luffy's crew recognized who that was. Ace was quite famous and the tattoo gave it away. It was none other than the recent second commander of Whitebeard pirates. Fire Fist Ace. A man with a bounty of 700 million. Of course, their rubber-headed captain would be related to this guy... logic didn't seem to work in regards to Luffy's family line.

Luffy rose his eyebrow before he crossed his arms smuggling. "Well, I hear that a certain old man beat some humility into my so-called big brother."

That brought Ace's face down with narrowed eyes.

"What's with you and old guys, first Gramps, then Rayleigh, and now Newgate... you sure have a losing streak with old people. You are still a kid if you get beat up by old-timers like them." Luffy said with a cocky grin.

"Heh, I would like you to try and beat any one of them." Ace said, but he still looked a bit sour.

The rest of the people who were hearing the conversation didn't know if that was an embarrassing feat when all of the people that Ace lost to were such legendary figures. That was some bragging rights, right there...

"Yes, yes, be a sour loser." Luffy said, "Anyway, I officially made my crew, wanna met em."

"Oh, I would love to!" that cheered Ace up. But suddenly Ace's holograph distorted, it seems that something was happening on the other side. "Hey, keep it down at this hour..." Ace seemed to frown and looked towards a certain direction. "Luffy, I will speak another time, there's something going on the ship." He said seriously before cutting the call.

Luffy also frowned but didn't pay much attention as the rest of the members on the ship was looking at the straw hat pirate captain with an awe expression.

"Um... did something happen?" Luffy asked as he picked his nose with a boring expression.

"You... you are related to Fire Fist Ace?" Coby was the one to speak.

"Yeah, he's my brother. Good guy really. You should meet him..." Luffy said, "Anyway, we should go do some training."

"What do you mean, he's your brother?" Nami asked almost screaming the question. "I thought you were the grandson of Garp the marine hero. How does that even add up..."

"Eh... well, I am. Gramps adopted him before my mother and father decided to get freeky in bed. And had me." Luffy said shrugging. "And he's following his dreams, like I said, gramps won't stop you unless you do something shitty..."

"Luffy before we get any more sudden shocks? Are there any other families that are knows famous figure?" Nami asked as she rubbed her forehead.

"Yeah, my father's a dragon."

"Eh..." A collective dumbfounded expression. Now that didn't even make sense.

"Well, he's not a dragon. He's the Revolutionary Dragon, the most wanted man alive." Luffy said nonchalantly, still picking his nose.

"That's even worse than freaking dragons." Usopp screamed, "And I thought my family was bad..."

"Well, your father did run of to go milk." Luffy snickered.

Usopp deadpanned, "And yours was cuddling you at my age." Usopp knew a bit about Luffy, and this was the first time he had mentioned his father. So he knew Luffy had grown up with only Garp.

Luffy was about to say something but didn't. "Yeah, you make a point there."
