One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 202 New Partners

Unlike the commotion on the shore, three figures were speeding across the sea.

Soon, Sengoku Garp and Aokiji arrived at the battlefield. Sengoku quickly pulled the woman who had been smashed into the ice to the side.

Aokiji and Garp stood in front of Rorschach, looking serious.

Luo Xia glanced at the two people standing in front of him, snorted coldly, and put away Shura.

Before long, the group returned to shore. The three from the Warring States period were the first to return, while Luo Xia gripped the Shura sword and slashed down fiercely, unleashing a massive sword aura that surged towards the sea, stirring up thousands of waves.

After unleashing this strike, Luo Xia felt much better overall.

“Rorschach, your behavior today was far too reckless,” Sengoku said sternly.

"Hmph, I'm just doing what I want to do," Rorschach replied dismissively.

Luo Xia glanced at the woman who was still unconscious, but the more he looked, the more he wanted to laugh.

Rorschach's lips curled into a slight smile, which he quickly suppressed.

But how could this change in expression escape the eyes of the Warring States period?

Sengoku said irritably, "You brat, hurry up and get the Senzu Beans out. Can't you see she's fainted?"

Rorschach glanced at Sengoku, then took out a Senzu Bean and tossed it to him.

Sengoku took the Senzu Bean and fed it to the woman. A moment later, the woman slowly woke up.

She looked around in confusion, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes when she saw Luo Xia. Luo Xia, however, simply crossed his arms and looked at her with a half-smile.

"Why did you save me?" the woman asked softly.

"Heh, I'm being lenient by not killing you. Would I have saved you if you weren't Marshal Zhan Guo?" Luo Xia shrugged.

"I was just thinking of having a simple fight with you, but you actually dared to mock me. If you don't die, then who will?"

At that moment, Garp walked over laughing and patted Rorschach on the shoulder, "Kid, no matter what, saving people is never wrong. But don't be so impulsive next time."

Luo Xia pursed his lips, about to retort, but the woman had already come up to Luo Xia and was staring at him curiously.

Luo Xia frowned, instinctively reaching out to draw his sword and strike the woman.

But the woman seemed to have learned her lesson and grabbed Rorschach's hand as he was about to draw his sword.

At the same time, the woman said pitifully, "Luo Xia, you don't mean to cut me again, do you?"

"My small frame can't withstand that."

Rorschach took a step back, keeping a distance from the woman. "Then you'd better hurry back to your Marine Headquarters, lest you stay here and get killed by my sword."

The woman was about to retort, but Sengoku coughed twice, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "This time, I... I didn't intend to bring Blood Phoenix back to Marine Headquarters."

"What?" Luo Xia's eyes widened, and the others also showed expressions of surprise.

A look of surprise appeared on Xue Feng's face.

Sengoku slowly said, "If this girl stays at Marine Headquarters, she'll bother me every day. It's better to leave her here with you; at least you'll have someone here to keep her in check."

"And this little girl is just like Rorschach back then."

"However, Rorschach is not as beneficial to the Navy Headquarters as she is harmful."

Luo Xia glanced at Xue Feng and found that she didn't refute him. It was surprising that a woman with such a temper didn't refute him.

With a wave of his hand, Luo Xia conjured several chairs behind everyone.

Everyone sat down, and Sengoku continued to talk about the Blood Phoenix.

"Blood Phoenix joined our Navy Headquarters a few months ago. At the time, the plan was to have her start as a private (new recruit)."

"Unexpectedly, this girl refused, and Huoshaoshan was also present with me. As a result, this girl beat Huoshaoshan unconscious on the spot."

His rank after that was Vice Admiral, codename Blood Phoenix.

"She's a mission enthusiast. Whenever she gets a mission from a vice admiral, she'll beat him up and then go on the mission herself."

"This went on and on, and almost every vice admiral came to me to complain about her. I really had no other choice."

Rorschach nodded. "Oh, I understand now, old man. You've dumped this troublemaker on me?"

"Although she is strong, I have plenty of her. What if she causes trouble?"

Zhan Guo smiled helplessly, "If she causes trouble, I will take the blame."

Upon hearing this, Blood Phoenix immediately jumped up, "I wouldn't cause any trouble!"

Luo Xia raised an eyebrow. "You think you can just stay out of trouble like that? Fine, then tell me what you can do first. You can't just eat all the time."

Blood Phoenix put her hands on her hips and said, "I can help you gather intelligence. I'm very well-informed."

Luo Xia scoffed, "You? Why should I believe you?"

Blood Phoenix grew anxious and pulled out a notebook from her bosom. "This is filled with all sorts of pirate secret locations. Consider it my gift to you."

Rorschach took it and glanced at it a few times, slightly moved. Seeing this, Karp laughed and said, "Rorschach, this little girl seems to be of some use, let's keep her and give her a try."

Luo Xia hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll stay for now. But let me make this clear: if anything goes wrong, I'm leaving immediately."

Blood Phoenix replied cheerfully, "Don't worry, I'll definitely behave!"

At first, Rorschach didn't want to keep her, but he gave Rorschach a notebook with records of various pirate strongholds, and possibly treasure as well. How could Rorschach possibly let such a thing go?

Luo Xia rolled his eyes, as if to say, "See if I believe you or not?"

at the same time.

Upon seeing this, Zhan Guo stood up abruptly. He turned around to step into the Anywhere Door, but he missed and almost tripped.

"Hey, Marshal, something's not right with you!"

Sengoku turned around and patted his cloak. "Nothing's wrong. Release the Anywhere Door first. I need to go back and handle some official business."

With a wave of his hand, Rorschach conjured a large, gray-white door in front of him.

Zhan Guo strode straight in.

Luo Xia watched as Sengoku disappeared through the Anywhere Door, then turned to Xue Feng and said, "Since you've stayed, you have to follow the rules."

Blood Phoenix nodded obediently.
