The Galley-La workers came running in to inform the Straw Hats that the Marine Hero Garp was showing up while the other workers had shown up on the port in order to create chaos and stop the arrival of the hero.
The Galley-la and the Franly families went berserk as they feared that the marine hero had come to capture the Straw Hats. They had heard a lot about him, and thus they were afraid that the straw hats would be captured by him.
"Straw hat, you should run. Merry is ready to set sail. With that ship, it would be very easy to escape." Paulie said as he came running in. He was involved in making the ship too, and he couldn't believe that he had helped create that massive ship.
It was a miracle that Franky and they were still able to hide the ship from the people and Vivi herself so that they could surprise him.
"Marine Hero? Oye Luffy.. Your grandpa is here. Do you think he has come to catch us?" Sanji smoked as he lazily asked Luffy and looked at Ken, who seemed to be lying on the side of the bed and acting like he was sleeping. Sanji knew that he was just acting like one and not actually sleeping.
"Oh yes. He is the grandfather of Luffy and Ken. I had forgotten." Ussop commented. The Straw Hats weren't really concerned that Marine Hero was here. Franky, Iceburg, and others had jaws on the floor.
Franky didn't know the lineage of the Straw Hats as he had just joined and didn't get much time to spend with the crew, but this new revelation had floored him and the others.
"Your grandpa, are such a hero of the marines, and you are a pirate who challenged the world government? This is crazy." Iceburg murmured, but everyone could hear it.
"Wait till you hear who his father is." Ken too murmured as if speaking in his sleep, but everyone heard it.
"What?"
"What did you say?"
Ken woke up with a start and a little groggy face, but everyone could tell easily that he was just acting. He wasn't really sleeping.
"What do you mean by your words?" Nami asked
"Was I saying something? I was sleeping. I don't remember." Ken said this while giving an innocent smile. Of course, nobody believed his words, but this wasn't the time for arguments. They could have it later.

They could already hear the shouts of men, and the noises were mostly of people being thrown into the air. Ken knew what was going on. Koby and Helmeppo were taking care of the Galley La workers that were trying to stop them. Zoro wasn't lost at the moment as he was busy training, so everybody was in the quarters, so everybody was here together, including Iceburg.
Garp wasn't stopped by anything, and he walked right inside the premises of the Galley La company. Luffy became increasingly nervous as his grandfather came, and so was Ken. He could still remember the way they had escaped last time. Putting Mjolnir over the body of Garp and thus stopping him and later, he forgot that he had done so. Ken knew that he was in for a beating.
"Is there where the famous Straw Hat pirates are living now?" Garp spoke those words before delivering a punch and destroying the side of the house. The straw hats were anticipating a knock on the door, but there was none.
"No wonder Luffy has a thing for destroying things. His grandpa is the same." Nami said she saw the broken walls lying around. She had to use magic so that the broken pieces on the wall didn't fall on her or hurt her.
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa."
Both Ken and Luffy now have a serious face looking at Garp, who had just walked in wearing his iconic dog head cap. He slowly put away the weird hat on his head and said
"Luffy.. Ken.. Do you have any idea of how much of a problem you both are?" Garp shouted immediately, and without any warning, he vanished from his spot. Luffy and Ken both instinctively tried moving from their spots, but as they shifted a few inches away from where they were standing, both of them were hit by a huge punch.
Ken and Luffy both cried out in pain. Seeing Luffy and Ken hurt, the other Straw Hats trembled and wondered if they had made the correct decision by staying back and not running away. Garp caught Luffy by his collar and pulled him into the air. Luffy was trying his hardest to get away, while Ken just stood by the side.
"Let go of me." Luffy shouted. But in the next moment, both of them ended up sleeping. Right there itself. Ken just shook his head. He thought Luffy would avoid the iconic sleep when taken into the hands of Garp since he wasn't tired. But it seemed he had hoped for too much.
Of course, Garp woke up after this, and seeing his grandson sleeping too made him more angry, so he hit him a few more times. Luffy, by the end, had huge protrusions and bruises in his body after being abused by Garp. After this, he turned to Ken, who was looking as innocent as possible. He didn't hit him, but he looked at him with a little sad face.
"I did everything possible so that the four of you joined the Marines. Now, three of you are pirates, and one is an annoying revolutionary. You have all disappointed me." Garp said. There was a complete silence, and then Garp continued.
"You were the most sensible of all the brothers. How did you come to follow this idiotic grandson of mine?"
"Grandpa, we all make choices and carry out our tasks as we think best. Luffy loves freedom, and so do I, even though I might not act in that way. And do you really think I would have been in the Navy after what they were trying to do to Water 7?"
