One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 50 Borrowing Money in Gion

Luo Xia stared blankly at the tobacco being pulled by the cart.

His hesitant gaze and the way he stretched out his hand and then pulled it back amused Garp and Gion.

"Rorschach, hurry up and get to work!"

"what are you thinking?"

Rorschach glared at Smoker and pointed irritably at the small cart of tobacco in front of him, saying, "You chain smoker, don't you even look at this cart of tobacco? Do you expect me to synthesize it by the handful?"

"If you want a cigarette, shut up, or you won't get a smoke!"

Upon hearing this, Smoker, who had originally intended to mock Rorschach, immediately fell silent.

Luo Xia looked at the tobacco in front of him and tried to grab a handful, but what happened next surprised him greatly.

As the blue light appeared in Luo Xia's hand, it gradually enveloped the clump of tobacco. Then, the blue light spread to the entire vehicle, covering all the tobacco in the car.

"I didn't know you could do that!"

Luo Xia smiled confidently, tobacco in his left hand and sea stone in his right. In an instant, the thing that had just been enveloped in the blue light disappeared from its original spot.

About ten minutes later, countless cigarettes suddenly fell from the previously empty table and hit Smoker on the head.

Luo Xia roughly calculated that there were more than two thousand of them.

Rorschach waved his hand, and a third of the cigarette that was in front of Smoker vanished instantly.

"Hey, you brat, what are you doing?"

"Did you see that? Of course I recycled it!"

Rorschach pointed to the cigarettes in front of Smoker and said, "You have enough."

"Even though you have the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, and might need smoke to activate your power, smoking this much will kill you!"

Smoker's lips twitched; he didn't approve of Rorschach's wild ideas.

Smoker immediately threw a punch, but Rorschach raised his arm and a round shield blocked Smoker's attack.

Just as Smoker was about to continue, Gion quickly stopped him, saying, "Hey, do you two want to get beaten up?"

"Still want to fight?"

Luo Xia shrugged, indicating his innocence, "I didn't lay a hand on him, Sister Zhiyuan, don't talk nonsense!"

Gion waved his hand, stood up and said, "The ships at the port are ready, we can return to Marine Headquarters now!"

At this moment, Garp, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "I've figured it out. You two are bound to fight if you get together. I don't know what's wrong with you two!"

……

An hour later, Rorschach, accompanied by the naval officers, finally boarded Garp's dog-headed warship and slowly sailed away from Loguetown.

Because the items synthesized by Rorschach are very compatible with warships, the warships are also exceptionally fast.

Rorschach, wearing sunglasses, looked at the distant sea and realized that Loguetown was no longer in sight. Rorschach then turned his gaze to Garp, who was crunching on a senbei (rice cracker) beside him.

"Hey, old man?"

Garp paused in his senbei eating and asked, "Hmm? Kid, what's up?"

"That straw hat kid Luffy really looks like your grandson!"

"Isn't that obvious? Whose grandson could he be if not my grandson?"

Luo Xia smiled slightly and asked, "Since he's your grandson, why don't you teach him Armament Haki?"

"You wouldn't want your grandson to be beaten to death, would you?"

Although Rorschach spoke casually, Garp could still hear the seriousness in his tone.

Garp put down the senbei in his hand, remained silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "Both of my grandsons have become pirates. Since they have become pirates, that is the path they chose themselves. I have no right to interfere. They have to walk every step of the way themselves!"

Luo Xia hesitated before speaking, "You...you don't actually know how to teach, do you?"

"Like someone who is extremely powerful themselves, but knows absolutely nothing about teaching disciples..."

As soon as Luo Xia finished speaking, an iron fist came flying toward Luo Xia's head, but Luo Xia still took the punch hard.

"boom!"

A large bump quickly swelled up on Luo Xia's head, and he clutched his head in pain.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

"Who would use Armament Haki to hit someone?" Rorschach protested.

Gion covered her mouth and chuckled, "You stinky Rorschach, who told you to dare expose Vice Admiral Garp? Now you know how tough it is, huh?"

Lying on the ground, Luo Xia felt like crying but had no tears left. He should have stayed far away.

Bogart, who was surveying the sea from the deck, saw Rorschach lying on the ground and tentatively asked, "Commodore Rorschach, should we carry you to the infirmary?"

"It's alright, no need. This fist is soft and can't hurt me at all!"

Despite saying that, Rorschach's body was still very obedient; as soon as he stood up, he carried the recliner to the side of Gion.

Time flew by, and two days later, Rorschach and his crew returned safely to the naval headquarters port.

Upon arriving at the Naval Headquarters, Gion didn't even say hello before jumping off the warship and running towards the Naval Headquarters building.

Her purpose this time was to borrow money, that's right, to borrow money.

Because Rorschach had reminded Gion countless times on the ship to pay for the fruit.

That's why she was so eager to borrow money.

Luo Xia stood there watching Gion run away, a knowing smile on his face. "Looks like the money will arrive soon!"

At the same time, Gion quickly ran into the naval office building and headed straight for Tsuru's office.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Enter!"

As soon as Gion entered the office, he sat down in a chair, panting heavily.

Seeing this, Tsuru quickly stood up and went to Gion's side, asking with concern, "Gion, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you go to Loguetown with Rorschach and Garp?"

"Why are you back so soon?"

After finishing her glass of water, Gion hesitated before asking, "Sister Tsuru, could you lend me 70 million Berries?"

He frowned and asked, "Are you short of money?"

"That can't be right? I remember you had tens of millions. Have you been buying a lot of clothes lately?"

Tsuru asked Gion questions like a concerned old woman.

Seeing this, Gion realized that her older sister Tsuru had misunderstood something, so she quickly said, "No, no, I didn't buy clothes randomly. I bought something very powerful!"

"Oh? Something very powerful?"

Gion nodded, "That's right, but we still owe that seller 100 million!"

When Gion spoke, she seemed somewhat insecure and appeared quite awkward.

The fact that Gion mentioned a hundred million yen piqued Tsuru's interest to some extent.

Meanwhile, He was also pondering what exactly was worth a hundred million.

In today's world, besides Devil Fruits, there are ships and weapons.

Gion can't possibly spend 100 million to buy a Devil Fruit, can he?

Buying a Devil Fruit for 100 million? What kind of Devil Fruit could it be?

Zoan type, human form?

Tsuru hesitated before speaking, "Gion, did you buy a Devil Fruit on credit for a hundred million?"

"You should know very well what kind of Devil Fruit you bought for 100 million, right?" Tsuru's expression gradually became serious.
