One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 113: A Memorable Scene!

Naval Headquarters, Execution Platform!

Rorschach sat casually on the execution platform, a flash of light in his hand, and in the next instant, a fruit resembling Marco's head appeared in his hand.

However, this fruit is dark red and has a very peculiar appearance.

The fruit also has spiral patterns.

Upon seeing the fruit in Rorschach's hand, the three people on the execution platform widened their eyes, especially Sengoku and Garp, who were both extremely shocked.

Sengoku quickly approached Rorschach and reached out to take it, but Rorschach teleported directly to Garp's side.

Luo Xia twirled the fruit between his fingers, a slight smile playing on his lips, and asked, "Sengoku-san, what are you doing?"

"I got this from that big bird with great difficulty!"

"I even got beaten up for it!"

Rorschach could naturally have guessed this, as he had previously obtained the Smoke-Smoke Fruit during a fight.

Rorschach knew perfectly well that he could obtain a fruit.

Meanwhile, on the Moby Dick, Marco, who was healing himself next to Whitebeard, was staring intently at what Rorschach was holding on the execution platform.

Marco examined almost every fruit from top to bottom and from left to right.

Regardless of its appearance or shape, this is the same as the Mythical Zoan-type Bird-Bird Fruit, Phoenix Form that I ate back then.

Apart from the different colors, there is almost no difference!

This discovery made Marco's breathing quicken.

Whitebeard noticed Marco's unusual behavior and turned to ask, "Marco, what's wrong?"

"Um, Dad... Dad, look at what that guy named Qinglong is holding on the execution platform!"

The white-bearded man frowned slightly, looked up, and upon seeing what he saw, he froze on the spot.

Marco said slowly, "This fruit is the same one you gave me to eat back then, Father, but the color is wrong!"

Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Marco, and he instantly understood.

No wonder there were so many Logia-type Devil Fruit users on the battlefield; they were all that kid!

"Dad, you'd better not fight that kid. He might even be able to copy the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"

Yes, it's copying. When Marco saw that fruit, he used his ability. When he found that his ability was still there, Marco knew that it was definitely the other party's fruit ability.

Whitebeard stared at Rorschach, a slight smile playing on his lips, before bursting into laughter. "Gurarararara!"

"I never imagined that such a power existed on the high seas. How interesting!"

About ten minutes later, a man carrying a large knife, wearing a gray overcoat and black trousers, jumped onto the Moby Dick.

Upon seeing the visitor, Marco paused in his healing process, then greeted him with a smile, "Oh, Brother Squard, how are things going on your end?"

Squard shook his head and said, "The navy is too cunning, and they are going to encircle us from the right rear. Let me report on the results!"

"I see! We're being surrounded by the navy from the rear? That suits me perfectly. I'm going to launch an attack too, let's storm in one fell swoop!"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a whooshing sound came from behind him.

"Clang!"

The sound was like a large sword striking steel.

When Squart opened his eyes and saw the fierce glint in Marco's eyes, for some reason, he suddenly threw down the knife in his hand.

Whitebeard simply watched Squard quietly, waiting for him to explain.

Marco, seeing Squard's pale face, felt a surge of anger rising within him. He grabbed Squard by the chest, barely suppressing his rage, and said, "Squard, what were you just doing?"

"Judging from your posture, are you planning to ambush Dad?"

"boom!"

Marco punched Squard hard in the face.

Marco's anger was undisguised, and just as he was about to step forward, Whitebeard, who had been silent all along, said, "Marco, stop!"

"This……"

Squard staggered to his feet, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Of the 43 pirate crews present, each and every one of us is deeply indebted to you. We would go through fire and water for the Whitebeard Pirates without hesitation."

I feel so bad, but this is... I understand. This is a battle to protect your family. Whitebeard, the pirate, would never abandon his family. We all came to this hell because of you.

Did you make a deal with the Navy to bury us all here?

And if we all die here, will the Navy release Ace?

After saying these words, Squard seemed to have accepted his fate and gradually closed his eyes, as if he had already foreseen Whitebeard's next move.

But the next second, Whitebeard grabbed Squard and put his arm around him.

Squard was slightly taken aback, then his eyes widened.

"How could I resent you? I'm your father! I know it was those scumbags in the navy who stirred things up!"

Whitebeard's words reassured the pirates who were fighting.

A voice inside them both said at the same time, "Yeah, how could our own father be colluding with the Navy? This is ridiculous!"

After Whitebeard released Squard, tears instantly streamed down Squard's face, and he immediately knelt on the ground, slamming his fists into the earth.

"Damn Akainu, I'm going to kill you!"

……

The situation was quickly noticed by Rorschach on the execution platform.

Luo Xia wondered to himself, "Shouldn't it have been a successful sneak attack?"

"How did it get blocked?"

"Is it that Marco?"

"Could this be the power of butterflies?"

Rorschach turned to Sengoku and asked, "Was what happened to the Whitebeard Pirates over there instigated by Akainu?"

Before Sengoku could speak, Rorschach sneered, "Only Akainu would do something so shameless in the Navy!"

Sengoku nodded and then said, "That's right, but any means are normal on the battlefield, including instigating the enemy to launch a sneak attack!"

Although Rorschach scoffed at Sengoku's words, wasn't that also a tactic?

The world of One Piece has never been a peaceful one. There is a dark side to this world, and the biggest dark side is the World Government. Akainu is nothing compared to them!

Having figured this out, Luo Xia felt much better, and his gloomy expression disappeared.

Luo Xia sat on the high platform, gazing at the white-bearded figure in the distance, thinking to himself, "If even mythical beasts can be synthesized, what about Zhenzhen?"

A smile crept onto Luo Xia's lips.

Luo Xia looked up at the corner of the tsunami that he had frozen, and couldn't help but think, "Judging by the time, it should be arriving soon, right?"
