Hello guys it is I NesquickCereal back again and now remaking this story. I just didn't like how I wrote this story after I completed it and I lost all motivation to continue my second story because of a whole bunch of things going on in my dumb life so hopefully remaking this story can bring back that spark again.

There is going to be big changes to this version of the story and I mean like major changes. Like MAJOR.

Anyways y'all know the drill.. One Piece does not belong to me at all, it belongs to the wonderful human being known as (G) Oda.

Monkey D. Luffy

In the many years Garp had been a father, he was not prepared for the moment when he found out he was going to be a grandfather. Although technically he was already a grandfather to a three year old kid, he just was not the real grandfather of this specific child. But he did know the father of this child. But Garp wasn't concerned about this child. He was more concerned about his blood related grandchild.

Normally a grandfather would not be worried about his soon to be born grandkid but Garp was not normal. Nor was his son. Garp was a Vice Admiral for the Marines and was highly respected within the organization. His son had just recently left the Marines from the Admiral position and left on very bad terms. The higher ups gave Garp a lot of trouble so of course Garp was pissed off at his son. And not only was he pissed off that his son quit being an Admiral and left on horrible terms, his son had also endangered Garp's wonderful daughter-in-law.

His mind was going 100 miles a second and he was getting stressed. Something which was very rare for Garp. The only time he was stressed was when his beloved wife had passed away due to illness. And that was many years ago back when he was still quite young and when his son was only a child. Seeking to find some peace in his mind, the old Vice Admiral went to a cemetery and sat by a grave and started to talk to himself (in Garp's case he wasn't "talking to himself")

Looking at the tombstone he said "Rose my love, do you know we are going to be grandparents? That idiot son of mine decided to get his wife pregnant. Now I wouldn't mind being a grandpa for another child as well as Ace but Dragon decided to make the whole world his enemy."

Not looking for a reply, Garp was silent for a few seconds before he spoke again "Roger had the world hate him but no one except a handful know of Ace's existence. Same for our grandchild but I'm afraid." he chuckled "yes love I am afraid. Terrified. Because if people know the existence of this child then he might not live a long life and it would be much more dangerous for him than it already is. I'm terrified that somehow Ace might get found. I don't want to lose either of them." Looking at the tombstone, this time he stayed silent for a long period of time. Reminiscing about the past and what could have been future, he just stared directly at the tombstone of his wife.

Almost having a tear fall down from his eye from the remembering, Garp had felt a hand on his shoulder and instantly that tear went away. "You bastard… what are you doing here?"

"Hello Garp San." said a voice that Garp was not expecting to hear. He raised an eyebrow but then realization took over and it hit him that this voice should not be out here.

Quickly getting up "JASMINE MY DEAR WHY ARE YOU OUT HERE? YOU SHOULD BE RESTING IN THE HOUSE. WE NEED YOU HEALTHY!" Garp says concerned about the wellbeing of his daughter-in-law. "DRAGON YOU FUCKING IDIOT WHY DID YOU BRING HER HERE?! SHE SHOULD BE RESTING!"

She laughs "It's alright dad I'm fine. I wanted to come here." she says

"She wanted to say hi to mother. And I couldn't stop her." says Dragon. Garp turned and looked at his son with slight anger. He was not mad at Dragon for making the world his enemy nor was he mad that he quit the Navy and left on bad terms. He was mad that the life of the soon to be born child would be ruined once the world figured out who the father would be.

"Father I get why you're mad. I understand." Dragon sighs but Garp's eyes widen. After his mother passed away back when he was a child, Dragon always called Garp by his name, never father or dad. Today was the first time that Garp heard the title of Father coming from his own son. Both men wanted to say something but both were silent.

In Dragon's mind, he was thinking about how he shouldn't have said father meanwhile in Garp's mind he was still in shock to hear that word coming from his son. And while this silence was going on, Jasmine was giving her respects to Dragon's mother and by the time she was done, she noticed that there was a very awkward silence between both father and son which was very rare.

"Let's get back to the house I feel tired." she said trying to lighten up the tension and mood. Jasmine and Garp were talking the whole walk back from the cemetery to the house whole Dragon was listening but was thinking about many things during the walk back. Once they got it, he saw a fairly young Makino who was in her early/mid teens and Dadan the mountain bandit with a few of her crew members all sitting by a three year old child making sure he stayed put.

"Oi you little shit did you get yelled at?" says Dadan to Dragon

"Now Dadan-san it isn't nice to curse in front of a child." says the green haired teen who was playing with the child

"Ace is not an ordinary child, he is a demon baby who causes more trouble than Garp." she says with a serious tone but causes Jasmine to laugh.

Jasmine picked up Ace from Makino and said "Ace you're going to be an older brother. Aren't you excited?" she says happily "But I wonder if the two of you are going to meet." she says with a sadness in her voice as she placed down the child back to Makino. Which everyone but Garp understood why she was sad.

"They'll meet. Hell I can let these two grow beside each other and then become Marines." Garp says. "And they would be the best of Marines, unlike a few people."

Dragon looked at Garp and said "I know you mean well father but I will not tie my son to the Marines. Not after everything I've seen and everything you know and what we have both done.. I'm not letting ideologies being set on him."

Garp was slightly getting annoyed with Dragon and had hoped for the worst because that reply was not what Garp wanted to hear "So where will your child live huh? Clearly not with you seeing as it's dangerous enough already?"

Dragon replied "I made up my mind about that already."

"And?"

"What's the safest place on Earth you think your grandchild can live and grow up freely in?"

Getting annoyed "Well this IS East Blue, no one cares about this sea enough to be strong, so right here with me would be a safe bet. I trust Makino and Dadan with my life and Ace's life, I can trust them to take care of my grandchildren when I have to go." Dadan looked like she wanted to say something but she could feel the tension so she decided to remain silent.

"I know you trust them and so do I, Makino is practically my little sister and Dadan took care of me when I was growing up too. But I have another place in mind. Because in case something happens and the World Government finds out about the existence of my child, all hell would break loose and it'll be another Ohara."

Slowly starting to understand Dragon's reasoning, he sighs "Then where to?"

"Edward Newgates ship." Dragon says dead serious, looking right at his father

"YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR CHILD TO WHITEBEARD?!" yells the old man "WHY?! JASMINE YOU ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN?!"

Dragon was about to reply but Jasmine was faster "Dad look as much as we want to keep our baby or if not keep but let you take care of your grandchild, Dragon is right on this." she says with a confident voice but had sad eyes. Of course as a soon to be mother she wants to be with her child but she cannot due to many reasons

Dragon looked at his dad "Father I know you don't necessarily like pirates but it's the safest bet we have. Whitebeard is a man that is very understanding and cares not about one's bloodline."

Sighing again "What if Whitebeard were to say no?" Garp knew Newgate would agree to this, he just wanted to make sure his son was prepared for this instead of making this a rash decision.

"Would Roger have said no?" replies Dragon

Garp knew full well what Roger would have done in this situation. If Roger wasn't dying with that incurable disease he would have brought his wife Rogue and Ace to become pirates like him and his crew. "Why bring up Roger?" he asked because the Pirate King had nothing to do with this conversation

"Well because he and Edward are similar men with the same morals." which was true, Garp knew Roger would accept this request as well.

Garp was silent for a few moments, understanding where his son was coming from and somewhat accepting the fact that his grandchild was going to be living with pirates, he looks at Jasmine and says "I am going to keep tabs on the child. I will drop be one a while and take him to some island to spend time with."

She smiles "That's fine with us. We were going to tell you that anyways. After all the child is your family."

"You guys won't be able to see your child that often and I'm not going to see both of you as much so how are you going to keep check?"

"Well your baka son said knowing that the child is growing up with Whitebeard is enough, I on the other hand want to know as many details as possible. And to do that, I'm going to ask my useless brother to join the Whitebeard pirates."

"Oh I see." he says but then he remembered just who the brother was "Wait… Jones is alive?"

She laughs "Sadly yes. He's probably doing nothing though. After Rogers death he went back to his home island doing God knows what. Even though Jones is a quite messed up thing I'd rather have him watch over our child instead of my family because well growing up in a house of assassins sucks and I don't want my son or daughter to be an emotionless and mindless killer like me or the rest of my family."

"Fair enough." says Garp "And tell that bastard to remain lowkey even when he gets on and becomes apart of the Whitebeard Pirates. I can't have him running free like how Roger let him."

Garp got up to leave the house but just as he was about to leave he looks ahead of him and says "Dragon you useless shit of a son, if you were looking for my blessing and acceptance to give your child Whitebeard, you have it. But understand this, there will be a point and time where he will want to know the truth behind his parents and he may hate you for this." and he leaves, closing the door behind him. But quickly opened the door to say one last thing "Oh and I'll be there when you give the child to Newgate." and then he finally left. Or so they thought when the door opened up again "Makino is the bar open?" says the Vice Admiral "I definitely need some drinks."

Makino got up to go with Garp to the town's famous Party Bar and placed Ace in the care of Dadan but Dadan wasn't too thrilled. "Oi Garp! Stop being a lazy geezer and take your first grandchild with you. I need my sleep and this brat hasn't let me." as she gets up and hands Ace to him as she exits the house herself. She looks at the soon to be parents "I'll be back later after a nap so don't wake me up." Then she looked at Garp "That includes you too Garp. If you wake me up I swear I will kill you."

"Yeah sure." says Garp uninterested in what Dadan had to say while he held Ace. Placing a kiss on the cheek of the three year old child he smiled inwardly. You would have been a great big brother. But it is still early, you my get the chance at being one later on thought Garp as he held Ace and was walking with Makino towards the bar.

With the house now empty except Dragon and his wife, they went to the bedroom to rest. "Your father took that well." said Jasmine, as she laid down on her back and placed a blanket on herself, implying that she was due for a nap at any moment.

"That geezer surprised me too." Dragon says with a smile as he tucked his wife in and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Rest now, you'll need all of your strength soon." as he leaves and shuts the light off

A week later, the hospital room was filled with cries from a newborn baby that was currently being held by a doctor as the child was being cleaned up. "Congratulations it is a boy." says the doctor happily and hands the newborn to the mother who smiles weakly and kisses the baby on the lips. Staring at the baby who had stopped crying short after the kiss from his mother, she placed another kiss on the forehead and then handed the child to the father who took him with such gentle care and smiled at his son. Staring at the big brown eyes of the child, Dragon was mesmerised by such an innocent face that he almost wanted to say screw giving the child to Whitebeard and keep it instead but he knew that would be very hard and more dangerous for his wife and the child.

Looking at his father who was waiting impatiently to hold his grandson, Dragon smiled and gave Garp the child. And the moment he held the baby, Garp noticed his grandsons eyes. "You have your Grandmother's eyes." he says with a large smile across his face. "Hey kiddo, I'm your Jii-Chan." kissing the child on the cheek. Noticing that the childs eyes was turned towards Makino, he gives her the baby and says "That's your big sister, Makino-Chan." as she holds he baby and looks directly into the eyes of the child and instantly her heart was melting at how innocent the newborn looked. Dadan walked over with Ace in her hands and looked at the child. She, like the rest, looked right into the child's eyes and was amazed at how pure they were. How innocent and bright it was. She then showed Ace the child and Ace too looked into the eyes of the newborn and smiled and wave his hand as if he was saying hello. Garp said "That's your big brother, Ace. You won't see him often or at all until later on but he will always be your brother."

Handing Jasmine the child, she was surrounded by the others and said "We should name him."

"Well father, we decided where he would stay so you can decide his name." says Dragon with a smile

"You want me to name your kid?" He laughed "Well let's see." Garp thought for moment. "Ahh yes I have one. Welcome to the family, Monkey D. Luffy." as he smiled and everyone nodded at the name. It suit the child and Jasmine was fine with the name. It was a perfect name for the perfect child.

*4 months later*

"Purupurupurupuru… Purupurupurupuru… Purupurupu" a den den mushi snail rings as someone answers the call.

"Hello who is this yoi?" says a blonde man wearing a purple jacket and blue shorts

"Ah Marco it's me Garp. Hey listen tell your Captain I'm going to meet him in a few days. It's quite important and I can't talk about it through the phone. That is all." as Garp hangs up as the den den mushi goes "gachaa"

"That was odd…" said Marco aloud. He got out of his room to look for the other division commanders and he just happened to find the head chef "Hey Thatch where is Oyaji right now?" he yelled

"In his room." the man replied back as Marco made his way to his Captain's room. Knocking on the door and hearing enter, Marco opened the door and went inside to see the man known as Edward Newgate, also known as Whitebeard.

"What is it Marco?" asks the man

"Garp called… He said he was going to meet you in a few days and said it was important stuff that he couldn't talk about through the phone yoi."

"That's odd. In any case we'll hear him out. It has to be something big if he has to meet with us personally."

Marco took his leave and went back to the piled up paperwork in his room.

A couple of days later, the Moby Dick spotted a ship sailing towards them and Marco ad given everyone the order to be ready in case anything bad were to happen but Whitebeard did not look troubled at all. Garp after Roger's death never gave Whitebeard trouble. Most of the time the two had crossed paths, they would always be drinking buddies. However, it wasn't a terrible idea to have the rest of the crew on standby just in case something went wrong.

As the ship came near, Whitebeard had noticed that there were six people on deck. One being Garp and his right hand man. The other being a man in a green cloak that covered his whole face. A woman who wore a cloak and looked like she was carrying something but Whitebeard thought there was something familiar about her. He might have not known the woman personally but there was an aura she gave off that Whitebeard knew of but couldn't think of who or what it was. And the other two would be a young green haired girl that looked like she was in her teens and a relatively large woman that seemed to be a thug so Whitebeard thought she was an acquaintance of Garp.

"Permission to come on board Newgate?" says Garp with a smile on his face

"Granted."

"Alright Makino stay with Dadan on the ship, these are real pirates, I don't want anyone to look at you in certain ways." says Garp as the green haired girl looked scared but not really, it might have just been her first time around pirates. While he noticed that the woman with orange hair was more relaxed and felt kind of comfortable around the pirates.

Marco was confused to see three out of the six people on the Moby Dick and was seriously wondering what that nut case Garp wanted. But then he noticed something and he looked right at Whitebeard who also noticed as well.

"So Garp, what do I owe you this visit?" says Whitebeard as he sat on his throne, drinking some sake.

The man in the green cloak had removed the hood and had revealed his face. It was none other than Monkey D. Dragon, former Admiral of the Navy and now the leader of the so called Revolutionary Army. Whitebeard had a calm face and looked right at the man who had his usual expressionless face towards the older pirate. "Greetings Newgate. I wanted to talk to you about something, I had to make my father call your den den mushi because I don't know if the World Government could trace my call had I made it."

"Get to your point boy, I do not have all day." says Edward, taking another drink of sake

Jasmine removes the cloak that was covering her chest and revealed a small baby only a couple months old. Marco who had stood by his Captain was wondering what would happen and what they would ask for.

"This baby here is our son" says Dragon "We would ask if you would be so kind as to take care of him in our stead."

"And why's that yoi? We are not babysitters." The first division commander asks with his bored face but on the inside he was very confused.

"We know. But it's too dangerous if we should keep him. I do not want my sons life to be in constant danger."

"Then why not give him to your father? Garp can take care him."

"As much as I trust Garp and the two women on the ship to take care of the child, it is still too risky. The World Government knows I come from East Blue and from the same island where Garp lives and they might send a Cipher Pol out to look for any clues. I do not want them finding out my son."

"He's already prepared for worse case scenarios Newgate." says Garp "I can assure you if he could keep the child, he would. And he is right, it's only been a handful of months since he's quit the Marines and wanted to start this whole Revolutionary Army bullshit. The higher ups have been a huge pain in the ass, I'm lucky to have not been killed."

In Whitebeard's mind, he already accepted. He understood that the safest place on Earth for this child would be a place where the Marines rarely touch and even when there is an Admiral in his way, they do not want to fight Whitebeard alone. Even the other Yonko stay silent when Whitebeard crosses paths with them unless it is a fight. The World Government would not think to look for a child on the Moby Dick and his existence would remain hidden from the world except those that knew. He still remained silent though.

And then Jasmine spoke "Whitebeard-san, I understand we ask a big favor from you but we do not have other choices. If we did, we would have taken them already and wouldn't have bothered you with such a request. I just want our child to stay safe as long as possible, life free and have a good life. As much as I wanted to keep him, we just couldn't find any safer places. We looked into adoption but Dragon said that there is only one man in the World that he trusted besides Garp-san and that was you. The way you are with your crew and how you have a family to look after another."

Whitebeard looked at they eyes of the mother and knew that she was telling the truth. He was very big on family and even though they were pirates, the whole world knew who Whitebeard was and most of them didn't want to mess with him nor his crew.

He laughed "GURARARARA cheeky brats, I'll take your child as one of my own." with a smile on his face

Jasmine bowed her head as a sign of respect "Thank you Whitebeard-san."

"Pardon me" says Dragon "We do have supplies for the child that should last a while" as he said that the three remaining people on the ship brought out the supplies and took them to the Moby Dick where there were a few division commanders waiting to take it from them.

When the supplies were moved from one ship to the other, Makino and Dadan made their way towards Dragon and Garp to say their goodbyes to the baby. Makino placed a kiss on the cheek, Dadan just looked at the baby and said "Thank God I don't have to take care of this devil anymore."

Garp held the baby for a moment and said "I shall be seeing you soon. Eventually. Next vacation." and gave the child to Dragon who whispered something in the ear of the child and placed a kiss on the forehead.

Then he handed the baby onto the mother and she held her child one last time before saying goodbye. Her eyes were filled with sadness because she was parting with her son but she knew that it would be best for the child to live here. Placing a kiss on the lips of the child she handed Marco the baby and said "I love you Lu." and placed one last kiss on the forehead before Marco could hold him.

Once the baby was in Marco's hand, he looked right into the innocent big brown eyes of the child and was in pure awe. Thatch was nearby and he looked at the baby and said "Those eyes are something huh." with a smile on his face.

Dragon and the rest were now boarding their own ship and Garp was the last to board but just before he did Whitebeard had asked "What's his name?"

Garp turned around and smiled "I named him myself ya know. Anyways it's Monkey D. Luffy."

Whitebeard laughed. He knew full well what a person with the initials D could do. He also knew that life on the Moby Dick would change. As everyone had waved their goodbyes and the ships went their own way, Marco had handed the baby to Whitebeard and as the pirate held the baby, he looked into Luffy's eyes and laughed "those eyes could kill someone. Welcome to the family Monkey D. Luffy."

A/N Okay so the first part was OOC for Garp but I wanted to write about his weak side for once and to show his fears. As a man who would always put work over his family even when he didn't want to, he had to. So it was odd trying to write that first part.

But anyways I hoped yall liked that chapter. Leave some reviews and stuff. I shall see you next time in a week or so, maybe less. Depending on how fast I can write these chapters.
