Chapter 25 : Goodbye, Paradise Island

　"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

　　In the palace garden, three violent collisions sounded.

　　"OK! Grandpa wins, wow ha ha ha ha!"

　　Garp raised his fist and let out a triumphant cheer.

　　Lu Fei lay on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face, humming in pain.

　　It seems that being a human should not be too inflated...

　　These days, Luffy's strength has skyrocketed, and so has his courage. After he recovers from his injuries, he can't wait to challenge his grandfather, the legendary sea soldier—Hero Garp!

　　Then...

　　"Grandpa, I was wrong, I won't dare next time."

　　Luffy gave up struggling and directly surrendered. That domineering iron fist was like a nightmare. He really didn't want to try it again.

　　"Luffy, it seems that your strength has increased a lot recently, but...if you want to beat the old man, it will take another two hundred years, hahahaha!" Garp hugged his fists and laughed triumphantly.

　　A ruthless mockery from grandpa...

　　With a dark face, Lu Fei got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and didn't bother to talk to the proud Garp.

　　"By the way, Luffy, we've stayed on this island long enough, it's almost time to go back to the Navy headquarters." Garp looked at Luffy with a serious expression on his face.

　　"Back to the Navy headquarters?!"

　　Hearing this, Luffy lost his composure for a moment.

　　After finally running out of the headquarters, the idiot will go back with you!

　　Although I am a navy, I will always have an indelible pirate heart!

　　Luffy glanced at Garp slyly, thinking about how to escape from the clutches of his grandfather and run to the free sea...

　　...

　　After Luffy defeated the Jason Pirates, this beautiful island regained its former name—Paradise Island.

　　As the last blood of the royal family, Sofina, with the support of everyone, put on the crown and became the new queen of the Alpha Kingdom.

　　This precarious country gradually stabilized and began to move towards peace and prosperity.

　　Sofina sat in front of the dressing table, staring at the mirror in a daze.

　　She wears a golden crown inlaid with amethyst, and a luxurious long dress embroidered with black gold silk. Her beautiful cheeks are less cowardly and more majestic.

　　Sofina raised her proud head like a swan, and her slender waist was straight. She has transformed from a weak girl in the past into the most honorable Queen of the country!

　　"Sophina! Sofina! Are you there? I need your help!"

　　At this time, Lu Fei hurried to the door and waved to Sofina who was in the bedroom.

　　"Presumptuous! Who dares to break into Her Majesty's bedroom?!"

　　"You disrespectful guy, you actually called Her Majesty the Queen by her first name!"

　　The two guards guarding the door quickly pulled out the knight's long sword, and the gleaming sword tip locked on to Luffy, all glaring at him.

　　"Ah...Sorry, sorry, it's time to call Her Majesty the Queen, right?"

　　Lu Fei smiled awkwardly, and waved his hands at the two guards, without any intention of fighting.

　　"Luffy, you are too reckless. You must know that Sofina is no longer the down-and-out girl she used to be. She has become the most powerful queen in this kingdom. At least be polite."

　　Zoro walked from the corridor unhurriedly, with the same serious expression as usual, or the same facial paralysis, he yawned lazily, and warned Luffy.

　　"You haven't put down your arms yet, do you want to face the hero who saved this country?!"

　　Sofina walked to the door and glanced at the two guards indifferently, her voice was a bit cold.

　　"Yes, Your Majesty!"

　　The two guards froze for a moment, and quickly withdrew their swords.

　　"Okay, you guys go down first, I have something to talk to them about."

　　Sofina transferred the guards at the door, and smiled sweetly at Luffy and Sauron,

Said: "Lu Fei-san, Suo Long-san, please come in quickly."　　"Thank you Your Majesty the Queen."

　　Luffy and Zoro looked at each other, bowed slightly to Queen Sofina together, and performed a standard aristocratic salute.

　　"Don't be like this, it feels weird..."

　　A look of embarrassment appeared on Sofina's pretty face, she waved her hand with a wry smile, and asked the two to sit down.

　　"Sophina, you are so amazing, you actually became a queen."

　　Luffy sat on the queen's soft bed, surprised.

　　However, in just a few days, the embarrassed girl who almost died at the hands of the pirates turned out to be a noble queen, ruling a kingdom.

　　Luffy was very surprised.

　　"Lu Fei-san, stop making fun of me."

　　Sofina blushed and looked a little shy. As soon as she came in front of Luffy, she instantly changed from a noble queen to a weak girl back then.

　　"By the way, you just said you asked me to help with something, what exactly is it?"

　　Sofina blinked and said seriously: "No matter what, I will definitely help you all!"

　　"It's like this, my grandfather is going to bring the navy back to the headquarters tomorrow, but I don't want to go back with him." Luffy explained to the girl carefully.

　　"I see, you want me to hold Mr. Karp back for you, right!" Sofina said.

　　"That's right, who wants to go back to the headquarters and listen to those stinky old men? I want to go to sea and make a career in the new world!" Lu Fei said seriously.

　　"What! Are you leaving..."

　　Sofina was slightly taken aback, and a look of sadness appeared on her pretty face.

　　"Well, I have been staying on Paradise Island for a while, and I will leave with Sauron tonight and go to the new world together, when the time comes, please help me hold my grandpa!" Luffy said.

　　"Tonight? Are you in such a hurry!"

　　A layer of mist appeared in Sofina's clear eyes, she was silent for a while, stared at Lu Fei's eyes seriously, bit her lips and said, "Okay, I will help you!"

　　...

　　Time passed in a hurry, and soon, night fell!

　　In the name of the queen, Sofina called on all the citizens and held a grand banquet in the palace to reward Karp and other naval officers.

　　Beautiful music was played in the palace, the aroma of red wine was wafting in the air, laughter was everywhere, it was very lively.

　　Accompanied by many beautiful young girls, many marines were drunk and fell asleep soundly on the wine table. Even some senior officers at the school level were so drunk that their cheeks were flushed and they were drowsy.

　　"By the way, where did that brat Luffy go!"

　　At this time, Garp was drinking wine, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes swept around, but he didn't find Luffy's figure, he couldn't help showing a touch of vigilance: "Is that brat sneaking away?!"

　　"Hehe, Mr. Garp, Luffy is currently stealing meat from the back kitchen." Sofina smiled.

　　"Oh, so that's the way it is. It's that kid's style. It's fine if you don't run away." Garp nodded. Her Majesty the Queen said so, and he didn't become suspicious anymore.

　　"Wait a moment, I'll go and call him for you!"

　　Sofina smiled sweetly and left the banquet quickly.

　　In the east of Paradise Island, a small boat was floating on the sea, and it was slowly sailing into the distance.

　　Luffy and Zoro sat on the boat without speaking, just staring at this beautiful island quietly.

　　It's time to say goodbye!

　　As the boat drifted away, the island in sight became smaller and smaller.

　　Just when the beautiful coastline was about to disappear in their eyes, a tiny black spot appeared on the highest cliff, jumping desperately to call out.

　　"Lufei-san! Suolong-san! Goodbye... you must take care!"

　　Sofina stood alone on the top of the cliff, desperately waving to the boat that was about to disappear.

　　"Sophina?"

　　Luffy and Zoro were taken aback for a moment, and waved goodbye to the blurry figure together: "Goodbye, Sofina!"

　　Farewell, Paradise Island!

　　New world... here I come!
