One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 41 Monkey... Monkey D. Luffy?

Rorschach slowly walked behind Garp and looked at the wanted poster in Garp's hand.

However, the name on it made Rorschach involuntarily read it aloud, "Hmm? Monkey... Monkey D. Luffy?"

"A bounty of thirty million?"

Rorschach sat down next to Garp, looked at Garp curiously, then at the name on the wanted poster, and feigned surprise, saying, "Monkey D. Luffy, could he be your grandson, old man?"

"Grandpa's a navy man, grandson's a pirate, and that old man's son..."

"boom!"

However, before Rorschach could finish speaking, he was met with a heavy iron fist.

"what!!!"

"It hurts...it hurts so much!"

A few minutes later, Rorschach rubbed the large bump on his head and glared at Garp with a resentful look, as if he wanted to devour Garp.

"You old bastard, damn it! It's not my fault your grandson became a pirate!"

"And you even used Armament Haki to hit someone, how despicable!"

Garp glared at Rorschach, "How could my grandson be a pirate? Damn it, when I meet him, I'll definitely capture him and bring him back to the Marines!"

"One by one, they've all become pirates!"

Hearing the clicking sound coming from Garp's hands, Rorschach leaned back on the sofa and dared not say a word.

What if this old man takes his anger out on me again? Garp's iron fist is no joke!

Before long, Rorschach saw that most of the anger in Garp's eyes had disappeared. Only then did Rorschach pick up the wanted poster he had just seen, and there was also a newspaper about them on the table.

"A bounty of 3000 million Berries on his very first try, old man, it looks like your grandson is going to be very strong in the future!"

"Hahaha, of course! My grandson has been trained by me since he was seven years old, how could he not be strong!" Garp said proudly.

"Hmph, your own grandson became a pirate, and Garp is still laughing!"

A powerful voice suddenly came from outside. Luo Xia looked up and saw that it was Marshal Zhan Guo walking in.

Garp shrugged, looking completely unconcerned. "I'm away from home most of the time, what can I do?"

"And that bastard Luffy is such a troublemaker, he's obsessed with becoming a pirate!"

Sengoku was aware of Garp's predicament, so he was only making empty threats.

After all, it was my own choice. If I get caught later, I can't blame anyone else!

Rorschach glanced at Sengoku, then at Garp, and then picked up the newspaper from the table.

The evil dragon that ruled Cocoyasi Village in the East Blue for eight years was defeated by Straw Hat Luffy.

Straw Hat Luffy's first bounty is 30 million.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this fishman pirate crew actually ruled Cocoyasi Village for eight years."

"I can't even imagine how they've managed to get through these past eight years!"

Then Rorschach looked up at Garp and Sengoku and asked, "Isn't the East Blue known as the weakest sea?"

Rorschach didn't say the second half of his sentence, but those words were enough for Sengoku Garp to understand what he meant.

Before Sengoku could speak, Rorschach said with a smile, "It seems the navy and pirates near Cocoyasi Village have colluded!"

"He must have a lot of Pele, what a pity!"

[Ding! Random quest triggered]

Luo Xia felt a sudden shiver run through his body for no apparent reason; he sensed that this mission was probably not going to be a good one.

Are you suggesting I go and capture Luffy?

[Ding! Please arrive in Loguetown within five days to check in!]

[Random Rewards]

Luo Xia's lips twitched; he never expected the system to issue such a task.

Just as Luo Xia was lost in thought, a flurry of footsteps sounded outside, as if someone was about to come in.

Garp and Sengoku were also staring intently at the door. Not long after, Kizaru, Aokiji, and Akainu arrived as a group.

"Hmm? Is there something you three have come here for?" Zhan Guo frowned slightly.

"Marshal Zhan Guo, we've come to invite Brother Luo Xia to join our ranks!"

"As for whose it is, I have no idea!"

Akainu nodded seriously, "That's right!"

Rorschach scratched his head. "Join my ranks?"

Although Rorschach knew the general outline, he still didn't understand it very well.

When Sengoku saw Luo Xia like this, he could tell that he didn't understand him at all.

"The fact that the three of them are inviting you means they want to join one of their factions!"

“Generally, graduates of the Zephyr training program have two options.”

"One of them is to join the ranks of various generals, and from then on, your missions will be assigned to you by the general you join."

"Of course, you can't refuse if headquarters assigns you a task."

"The second option is to serve in the naval branch on other islands."

"Someone like you, who performed exceptionally well in the Zephyr training program, can choose which branch you want to join!"

After listening to the explanation from the Warring States period, Luo Xia nodded, "I see!"

"Which one do you choose?" the three generals asked in unison.

Rorschach's lips twitched. He looked at Garp and then at the three admirals. He really didn't dare to say which admiral he wanted to join!

What if Akainu hears that I haven't joined him and then throws a Lava Fist at me?

"It's alright, kid, you can choose with confidence. With the two of us here, who would dare to cause trouble?"

Marshal Sengoku spoke with domineering confidence. Of course, he was confident that although Sengoku's current strength was not at its peak, the three generals would not dare to act recklessly in front of Sengoku.

Luo Xia swallowed hard, his hands turning icy cold, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"I choose Admiral Aokiji!"

After all, they had the same Devil Fruit ability, and Aokiji was a rather easygoing person, which was quite suitable for Rorschach, so Rorschach chose him almost without hesitation.

Rorschach thought Akainu would be angry after choosing Aokiji, but Akainu turned around and left.

Before long, only Garp, Sengoku, and Aokiji remained in the room.

Aokiji casually leaned back on the sofa and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"Are you still planning to go to the Navy branch for some training, just like Smoker?"

"Or perhaps we could develop the tools within the Navy Headquarters?"

Luo Xia stroked his chin and asked, "I want all of these!"

Aokiji nodded. "Okay, if you want to go to a certain branch, you can tell Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and he will take care of it for you!"

"By the way, if you develop anything good, you can give it to me first!"

"If you want to learn how to develop Devil Fruit abilities, come find me anytime."

"After all, you have my abilities, so it's only right that I teach you!"

Rorschach nodded. "I understand. I do have my own thoughts about abilities!"

The two of them chatted as if no one else was around.

Not long after, Aokiji walked out of Vice Admiral Garp's villa.

As soon as Aokiji left, Rorschach looked at Garp, who was sitting to the side, with shining eyes.

"Hey, old man, can you take me to Loguetown?"

"Huh? Why do we have to go there!"

Rorschach shook his head. "I have an idea for a new gadget, and I need to go to Loguetown!"

"May I?"

Garp's eyes darted around. It seemed that his good-for-nothing grandson was also there. Why not go with this kid?

"Alright, I'll take you there this time!"
