One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 129 Garp Who Can't Speak

Luo Xia stood silently behind the villagers, and for some reason, he felt as if someone was poking him.

Luo Xia turned his head and saw that it was Zhiyuan who had poked him.

What are you doing?

"Do you believe I'll beat you up?"

Zhiyuan glared at Luo Xia, "You dare?"

"But I'm not here to argue with you!"

Gion pointed to the ice coffin placed in the middle of the road and said, "Why are you carrying Vice Admiral Garp's grandson with you?"

Gion's large eyes were full of doubt.

Luo Xia glanced at Garp and chuckled, "What? Didn't old man Garp tell you?"

Zhiyuan shook his head.

"Then you don't need to know!"

Luo Xia grinned, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a woman with orange hair and thick lips standing in front of him, which startled Luo Xia so much that he almost lost his footing.

"Hey, bandit gang lady, what do you need?"

It was then that Luo Xia noticed that the villagers had also been scattered into two rows.

"I'm the leader of a mountain bandit gang, not some kind of bandit!"

"Also... thank you for retrieving Ace's body!"

Luo Xia scratched his head and laughed, "It's okay, it was just a small thing!"

"No need to thank me!"

Rorschach looked around and asked, "Have you all finished watching Ace?"

Although they didn't know why Rorschach wanted to ask this, all the villagers nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then that's how it is!"

A flash of light appeared in Rorschach's hand, and Ace, who had been lying on the ground, slowly floated up and flew towards Rorschach.

Upon witnessing this, the villagers asked, "Lieutenant General Rorschach, what are you doing?"

"Take it back! Otherwise, will it just melt on the ground?"

Rorschach replied casually.

Dadan strode up to Rorschach and said menacingly, "Ace is dead now, and I think he should be buried on my hilltop!"

"We can't just leave him in the ice forever, can we?"

"It must be very cold."

Dadan, the bandit aunt who was originally very aggressive, gradually softened her tone after talking about Ace.

In the end, it even turned into a prayer.

Luo Xia swallowed hard, opened his mouth, and then closed it again.

He couldn't make a move against Dadan yet, for fear that he would be killed if he did.

Rorschach looked at Garp with pleading eyes.

Garp understood, and then his gruff voice rang out: "Village chief, everyone, don't worry, this kid is just doing research on Ace's body, nothing else!"

Luo Xia's heart skipped a beat, and the ice block that was originally floating in the air was instantly stored into his spatial storage.

However, he discovered that the villagers, who had been so kind before, had now all taken up weapons, such as hoes and shovels, their sharp eyes fixed on Luo Xia.

Luo Xia said speechlessly, "Hey old man, can you please stop talking nonsense?"

"Now I'm going to get ganged up on by the villagers!"

The village chief, who had been standing to the side with his hands behind his back, stepped forward and said, "Everyone, don't make a move yet. This Marine rescued Ace from Shanks. We can't treat a Marine vice admiral like this."

Garp said slowly, "Rorschach, now that we're here, we can talk about what we discussed a few days ago!"

"This……"

Rorschach opened his mouth, then pointed to Makino's tavern behind him and said, "Let's go inside and talk. I'm afraid there might be people from the World Government there!"

"If they find out, I'll be dead!"

Then, Kap, the village chief, Dadan, and Dadan's two underlings entered the tavern.

Just as Zhiyuan was about to go in, following behind Luo Xia, Luo Xia turned around and stretched out his hand to block Zhiyuan.

Gion, puzzled, asked, "What's wrong?"

"You can't come in!"

"What? Why?"

Rorschach crossed his arms and looked serious. "This concerns my life and fortune. You patrol outside for me, and if you find any World Government members, wipe them out!"

"you……"

"Well... okay!"

In the end, Gion had no choice but to compromise, after all, Rorschach had said that this concerned his life and fortune, and he had to take it seriously.

As Rorschach entered the tavern, all eyes turned to him.

Makino also poured a drink for everyone.

Luo Xia walked to the table with everyone and remained silent for a long time. After a minute, Luo Xia blurted out, "Old man, why don't we just knock them all out!"

Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Luo Xia chuckled and sat down in a chair. "Just kidding, don't take it seriously!"

“Speak!” Garp urged.

"Let me think about what to say!"

After thinking for a long time, Luo Xia slowly said, "The old man's claim about conducting research is false!"

"Also, Ace can't be buried on Mount Colbo!"

"Secondly, I've recently been gathering materials to create something, to put it simply, that is, to resurrect Ace!"

"I don't think you need to be surprised, because although this sounds like a dream, it's not that simple to make it happen!"

Luo Xia shrugged, looking quite helpless.

Rorschach had previously inquired about the price of the potion, but this time the system quoted a price of three billion Berries.

Rorschach can't come up with that money right now.

Besides, I'm going to the new world soon, and the Anywhere Door to Sengoku isn't there yet. How am I supposed to have a chance to scam... ugh, make money off Sengoku?

And it's three billion!

Rorschach felt as if his heart was bleeding!

After finishing his speech, Luo Xia casually sat down in his chair and drank the wine that Makino had brought him.

After a long silence, the village chief of Windmill Village asked, "Mr. Garp, is what Lieutenant General Rorschach said true?"

"Pretty much. He's a vice admiral in our Marine Headquarters, and he also has a Devil Fruit ability."

"The secret treasure of the sea, the Devil Fruit, his ability is to invent strange and wonderful things."

"Resurrecting him wouldn't be a problem for me either!"

Rorschach was utterly speechless as he listened to Garp's words.

No normal person has the ability to bring the dead back to life, yet I have to tell these commoners.

You're something else, old Garp!

"Oh, by the way, this kid did my head of black hair."

"Hahaha!"

Garp patted his head with great enthusiasm, completely unlike his previous taciturn self.

Everyone looked at Vice Admiral Garp's hair and were surprised to find that Garp had become much younger than before.

Luo Xia turned around and said, "Old man, don't you dare reveal all my things to me!"

"And your voice is too loud, keep it down!"

As if sensing something, Luo Xia teleported to the door. He pushed the door open forcefully, stuck his head out, and said, "Don't eavesdrop!"

bang~

Luo Xia slammed the door shut.

With a forceful shovel, the entire stone path outside the gate was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

As soon as he returned to his original position, Garp asked, "What materials do you need? I can help you find them!"

Garp looked very confident.

Rorschach said calmly, "Three billion Berries, old man, do you have any?"
