One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 245 I've Tied Them All Up

Upon hearing this, Rorschach's lips curled up slightly. "Hawkeye Mihawk? Interesting."

Sengoku's expression was solemn. "Don't underestimate him. He is the strongest swordsman in the world today."

Luo Xia waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Of course I know how powerful he is. It's just a fight, he won't die no matter what, right?"

At this moment, Xue Feng came over, put her arms around Luo Xia's arms, and said worriedly, "Boss, you have to survive."

Luo Xia's face darkened, and he gently tapped Xue Feng's head. "Little girl, how can you talk about your boss like that?"

"it hurts!"

Luo Xia turned to look at the distant sea, already having made up his mind. "Marshal Zhan Guo, tell him that since he wants to challenge me, I will accept."

As for the location, it will be in this sea area. I will completely freeze this area to ensure that no one will disturb us.

Sengoku frowned. "Are you sure? There are no shelters on the sea."

Luo Xia smiled confidently, "No need, and I have conditions for fighting me."

The Warring States period asked, "What are the conditions?"

Rorschach put his hands behind his head. "It's simple. If he loses, he'll join my G5 branch. He can use any means necessary, whether it's underhanded or suicidal."

Sengoku's eyes widened. "I'm afraid it will be difficult to get him to agree, right? This guy is a loner by nature. Do you think he'll join the Navy?"

Rorschach remained calm, saying, "If he doesn't agree, then there's no need to fight this war."

"Moreover, he didn't join the Navy Headquarters, but rather my G5."

Sengoku sighed helplessly, "Alright, I will relay your words to Mihawk in their entirety, but whether he agrees or not is another matter."

Rorschach shrugged. "Okay, you'd better hurry. I still want to catch Straw Hat Boy, so I can't afford to be late."

"You little brat, you want to go hang out with the Straw Hat crew, don't you?"

"What's with all this talk about arresting? If you wanted to arrest someone, you would have done it already."

"Alright, give me one of the Anywhere Doors first, I'm going back to Marine Headquarters."

Luo Xia casually took out a Anywhere Door and handed it to Sengoku. "Go quickly, I'll be waiting for your news." Sengoku took the Anywhere Door, opened it, and disappeared.

As Sengoku's figure disappeared, the marines he brought looked at each other in bewilderment.

Luo Xia looked at the marines, almost all of whom were tall and strong. Luo Xia grinned and slowly said, "Men! Tie up all the marines the Marshal brought!"

As soon as Luo Xia finished speaking, the marines who had been training on the sidelines moved instantly, their speed was incredibly fast.

Within minutes, the marines who were still in a daze were all tied up and sitting on the ground.

Everyone's face was filled with utter bewilderment.

Rorschach even saw some itchy-handed marines slap a few disobedient marines a few times, the sound of which was unusually crisp.

Soon, a burly, dark-skinned G5 marine stood at attention and saluted in front of Rorschach, a lewd smile on his face. "Reporting, boss, we have captured all fifty-odd people on the ship. Just give the order, boss, and we'll do whatever you want to do."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, and the bound marines began to tremble involuntarily.

However, they didn't shout or scream, presumably because they were too frightened to make a sound.

After all, the G5 marines, judging from their appearances, didn't seem like good people. (Except for Rorschach)

Upon hearing the words of the marine in front of him, Luo Xia's face darkened, and he cursed, "I only told you to tie them up, not to kill them."

"Smack!" Get out of here, just looking at you annoys me.

"How have I always taught you to treat your naval colleagues with gentleness? You've been so rude that you've scared them so much they don't dare to speak."

After reprimanding the marine for a while, Rorschach smiled and squatted down in front of the group of marines. "I'm really sorry, that bastard was too rude and caused you inconvenience. I'm so sorry."

The marines didn't dare to utter a sound after hearing Luo Xia's words.

Rorschach continued, "Don't worry, I just want to ask if any of you have any intention of betraying me... I mean, joining my G5 branch?"

The marines looked at each other, and for a moment no one dared to answer.

Seeing this, Luo Xia stood up and clapped his hands. "It's okay, you can take your time to think about it. There's no need to rush to give me an answer."

At this moment, Blood Phoenix came skipping over, "Boss, they definitely won't dare to agree, after all, they are following the Warring States Marshal."

Luo Xia smiled and said, "Little girl, you can't say for sure."

Rorschach waved his hand in the air, and soon a marine appeared in front of him. "Boss."

"Yes, have someone keep an eye on these people. Release them only when they agree."

"No one is allowed to use violence during this period. Anyone who dares to use violence can die."

The marine nodded nervously, "Understood, boss!"

Then Rorschach looked at the marines and said loudly, "Anyone who agreed to join my G5 branch can come and get a Devil Fruit from me!"

“My G5 branch is really short of people. This is just me making use of resources, not a threat.”

Upon hearing this, Garp, who was standing to the side, burst out laughing, "You little rascal!"

At this point, Gion bluntly said, "These people are probably cursing you in their hearts right now."

"They probably haven't seen a navy that's like a bandit before."

Luo Xia curled his lip, "I'm not a bandit. Have you ever seen a bandit give back their fruit just to get them to stay?"

"I'm giving them a chance to defy fate."

"If another Marineford War were to occur, they might not be of much use; to put it bluntly, they would just be cannon fodder."

“Things will be different if they follow me; I can make them stronger.”

Hearing Rorschach say so much, the bound marines' eyes flashed with a hint of excitement when they heard about Devil Fruits.

One of the bolder marines spoke up: "Is it really possible to get a Devil Fruit?"

Rorschach nodded. "Of course, I, Rorschach, keep my word."

The marine gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'm willing to join the G5 branch."

Rorschach nodded in satisfaction, signaling his men to untie him and take him to choose a Devil Fruit.

Once the first person took the plunge, the other marines began to waver.

Soon after, several more people expressed their willingness to join.

Just then, a pink Anywhere Door opened beside Rorschach, and Sengoku walked out from it.

Upon seeing Luo Xia, Sengoku said, "Mihawk agrees to your terms. We will fight in the agreed-upon sea area at noon three days from now."

Luo Xia chuckled lightly, "This guy is quite straightforward."

Blood Phoenix anxiously tugged at Luo Xia's sleeve, "Boss, you must be careful."

Luo Xia patted her head reassuringly and said, "Don't worry, little girl."

Then Rorschach looked into the distance, gazing at the sea, and said loudly, "Prepare to welcome Hawkeye Mihawk. Pass the word down to blockade this area of ​​the sea and freeze it in place, according to plan."

The G5 marines immediately sprang into action.

Meanwhile, the bound marines whispered among themselves, filled with curiosity and anticipation for the upcoming battle, while also weighing in their minds whether to join the G5 branch in exchange for a Devil Fruit.
