One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 42: Preparing to Head to Loguetown, 2 Glint-Glint Fruits

The next morning arrived.

At this moment, Rorschach was following Lieutenant General Garp toward the port.

Rorschach was still wearing the same clothes as before, except he now had a Justice Cloak on the back, which gave him a cool and roguish vibe.

"Old man, we could have gone there using the Anywhere Door, why did we have to take a warship?"

"Stop talking nonsense. The device you made last time is still working. Besides, there are quite a few people going this time. It's been a long time since I took them to catch pirates."

"Besides, it's just Loguetown, only two days' drive away, and the sea view is quite beautiful."

"Most importantly, you can encounter pirates!"

Faced with this statement, Rorschach couldn't find a reason to refute it.

"Your goal is to capture pirates, isn't it?"

……

As soon as Rorschach and Garp arrived at the port, they saw dozens of soldiers carrying something on a dog-headed warship, looking quite busy.

Luo Xia strode onto the warship with an air of indifference, but as soon as he reached the deck, he saw an unexpected person.

"Gion? What are you doing here, woman?" Luo Xia asked incredulously, pointing at Gion lying on the recliner.

"Hahaha, I sent Momousagi up here because he just finished a mission. He heard from me yesterday that you were going to Loguetown, so he came along!"

Luo Xia's lips twitched. He thought he wouldn't see Zhiyuan for several months, but he didn't expect to see that woman again after only two months.

"Since it was Mr. Garp who invited me, I couldn't very well refuse. If you want to get beaten up, just come find me!"

Faced with Gion's blatant threat, Luo Xia immediately shrank back, found a corner, and used his abilities to make himself a recliner.

At this moment, Bogart, with a serious expression, walked up to Garp and said, "Vice Admiral Garp, shall we set sail?"

"Alright, let's set sail!"

"Yes, destination: Loguetown, about one to two days away!"

At Bogart's command, the previously motionless Doghead slowly began to move.

This speed made Gion sit up instantly. Gion grabbed Bogart's arm and asked, "Bogart, is there something wrong with Vice Admiral Garp's warship's speed?"

"That's way too fast!"

"Reporting to Vice Admiral Momousagi, this is a warship propulsion device invented by Commodore Rorschach before he joined the Navy."

"This device can increase the speed of a warship by two to three times!"

As soon as Bogart finished speaking, Karp added with a smile, "That's right, that's right, and this thing is very sturdy. I've used it to sail several times without any problems, and it's always very fast!"

As Gion sensed the speed of the warship, he felt that the dog-headed warship was at least twice as fast as his own.

Because Rorschach was drinking juice in the corner, he didn't hear anything.

"Hey, having freezing capabilities is great! It can even freeze juice, making it taste even better!"

Rorschach was enjoying himself alone, unaware that a pink whip had quietly tied to one leg of his deck chair.

While drinking juice, Luo Xia suddenly felt a pulling sensation. Looking ahead, he saw that Zhiyuan was pulling his recliner with a whip.

"Hey, hey, hey, you stinky woman, what are you doing?"

Although Rorschach tried to stop him, he was still pulled between Garp and her.

Luo Xia looked at the damaged recliner, then glared at Zhiyuan, and then made a new recliner himself.

"What are you trying to do, woman? I was just drinking my juice and doing nothing. Are you trying to pick a fight?"

Despite Rorschach's unwavering gaze, Gion declared, "I want that thing you made for Vice Admiral Garp too!"

Gion thoughtfully pointed to the two fan-like things installed on both sides of the boat.

Luo Xia looked in the direction Zhiyuan was pointing, then suddenly realized, "This thing!"

"That's right, that's it. Once we get back from Loguetown, install it on my boat, or you're dead!"

Luo Xia involuntarily swallowed. "Don't threaten me. Besides... I don't know how to make this!"

"I've long forgotten the original recipe."

"But I'll think about it carefully, so don't rush into attacking people recklessly!"

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Rorschach's answer, Gion agreed.

After all, saying these things was just to scare him.

After resolving the matter at Gion, Luo Xia completely relaxed, and his eyelids even felt sleepy.

A short while later, Rorschach fell asleep.

I slept until the next morning.

As soon as Luo Xia opened his eyes, he saw an old man with a white beard looking at him, his large face coming into Luo Xia's view.

"what!!!"

Luo Xia was so frightened that he jumped back at least several meters.

When Rorschach regained consciousness, he realized it was old man Garp.

"Hey, old man, why did you scare me?"

"I was going to call you last night, but Bogart said you were probably tired from using your synthetic abilities, so he told me not to bother you."

"After that, I've been keeping an eye on you every morning when I get up!"

"Stop talking nonsense and produce some senbei for me right now, or I'll throw you into the sea!"

Luo Xia pursed his lips, speechless. "Then tell the ship's chef to prepare some food for me. I want to eat now!"

As time went by, a table piled high with delicious food grew in front of Rorschach.

Meanwhile, Garp, standing next to Rorschach, was holding a large wooden bucket filled with various flavors of senbei (rice crackers).

Rorschach's palm emitted a blue light, and it seemed like a bottomless pit, constantly spewing out senbei (rice crackers), making all the marines present extremely envious.

Karp stared at the senbei in the bucket with gleaming eyes.

While Garp only watched without eating, Rorschach was currently enjoying his meal with a fork he had created using his powers.

"Luo Xia, what just popped out of your hand?"

Luo Xia, who was eating, was suddenly choked by the loud shout and coughed uncontrollably. After finally recovering, Luo Xia turned around to look.

However, when Rorschach saw what Garp was holding, he felt a chill and his eyes widened suddenly.

At that moment, Garp was holding two fruits in his hand, one green and one pink.

Rorschach nervously swallowed. "Ahem, old man Garp, what you have in your hand is just fruit. Give it back to me first!"

Gion, noticing Rorschach's nervousness, couldn't help but look at the two Devil Fruits in Garp's hand.

Huh? Isn't that the fruit from that night? It's in Mr. Garp's hands?

Gion thought to herself, but her eyes were sparkling, especially with Luo Xia's nervousness, which suddenly opened up her mind.

Could this really be true? Rorschach can even copy Admiral Aokiji's abilities, so copying two Devil Fruits should be a piece of cake, right?

Although Gion was thinking it in her heart, she had to admit that her guess was very accurate!
