One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 78 Ace in a sorry state

Zhiyuan Villa.

At that moment, Gion transformed into a beam of light and landed precisely at the villa's entrance.

As Gion pushed open the door, her destination was clear: Rorschach's room.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Coming, coming, don't come in!" came Luo Xia's impatient voice from inside the door.

About five minutes later, Rorschach opened the door and saw Gion dressed neatly.

"Oh, is something the matter?"

Gion frowned and asked, "Nonsense, of course something's wrong, otherwise why would I be here?"

Luo Xia reluctantly gave up a space. He had planned to study the reward he received yesterday, but now that plan was ruined!

Luo Xia plopped down on the sofa, looking at Zhiyuan with a relaxed expression, and asked, "Didn't you say you had something to say? Go ahead and say it?"

"I have something to do later!"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm trying to figure out how to explain it to you so you'll understand!"

Luo Xia chuckled, but did not disturb Zhiyuan any further, and simply watched her ponder silently.

After a while, about five minutes later, Gion slowly spoke up: "This meeting has both good news and bad news!"

Which one do you want to hear?

Luo Xia raised an eyebrow, glanced at Zhiyuan's expression, and deliberately said, "Whatever, either one is fine!"

Gion clenched her fists tightly, her eyes fixed on Luo Xia, but Luo Xia didn't see any of her movements.

"Hmph, then let's hear the good news first!"

"After the meeting, it was decided that your promotion to lieutenant general is practically guaranteed!"

"He can definitely be considered the youngest vice admiral. Since the founding of the Navy, I have never seen a vice admiral who is only eighteen years old!"

Luo Xia's expression remained expressionless as he indifferently asked, "And the bad news?"

"Oh, bad news!"

"The bad news is that Admiral Aokiji has proposed that you be assigned to a post in the New World for a two-year term!"

"His proposal was approved by the majority of the Navy!"

With a deep gaze, Gion said in a low voice, "This time, you're probably really going to take a position in the New World!"

Rorschach sat up straight and murmured, "A new world?"

"It's hard to say whether it's good or bad!"

Xuanji Luoxia mischievously thought, "If I really go to the new world, I'll create a restriction."

"That way, even the old monk from the Warring States period couldn't get in using his Anywhere Door. That would be more liberating!"

"It saves me from having to bother that old monk every time; he's such a nuisance!"

"You can make something like this?" Gion asked curiously.

Luo Xia shook his head, "Not for now, but who knows about the future!"

"Besides, the fact that you can assign a lieutenant general to the New World suggests it's not some particularly important place."

"Most importantly, I should be the only one in command there!"

"I'll rob pirates every day then, and let them know the name of Grandpa Rorschach!"

"Ahahahaha!"

Rorschach had even started fantasizing about what would happen next: a group of marines kneeling before him.

So it seems like this is actually a good thing!

Gion looked Rorschach up and down, and seeing the pirate-like aura about him, he might actually do something like that.

The thought that Luo Xia might do exactly as he said immediately darkened Gion's face.

"You brat, get your feet off the table right now!"

"With the expression on your face right now, I'm starting to worry about you going to the new world."

"I'm worried you'll get beaten to death on your first day in the new world!"

At this point, Gion jumped up. "No, I can't let you go to the New World. I'm going to talk to Marshal Sengoku!"

After finishing her speech, Gion didn't even hear Luo Xia's voice. The next moment, she turned into a beam of light and disappeared from the room.

Luo Xia twitched the corners of her mouth. She couldn't let Gion tell Sengoku and the others what she had just said.

Rorschach activated his Space-Space Fruit, instantly appearing dozens of meters away.

……

One minute later, Rorschach finally caught up with Gion using his Space Fruit.

However, the garden did not move an inch.

"Hey, Gion, what are you looking at?"

Rorschach followed Gion's gaze and looked into the distance. Not far away, Sengoku, Garp, the three admirals, Tsuru, and others were all walking towards the Marine Headquarters port.

In particular, everyone's facial expressions were very serious, as if something major had happened.

Moreover, Rorschach looked at Garp, and he had never seen Garp show such a serious expression since Garp took him in.

Luo Xia swallowed hard and asked in a hoarse voice, "What...what are they going to do?"

Upon hearing Luo Xia's voice, Gion finally realized what was happening and instantly came to her senses.

"Let's go, let's follow them and see what's going on!"

The two moved very fast; Gion was using the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Rorschach uses spatial abilities, which are no less powerful than Gion's.

The two quickly caught up with the group.

As soon as he joined the group, Rorschach approached Garp and asked, "Old man, I've never seen you look so serious. What's wrong?"

However, Rorschach waited for a long time but Garp did not speak.

Rorschach then simply shut up and silently followed Garp.

Soon after, the group arrived at the port.

Upon arriving at the port, Rorschach saw several World Government personnel dressed in white.

At that moment, two of them were escorting a shirtless man off the ship.

Luo Xia's pupils contracted slightly, his eyes filled with the image of that man.

Rorschach blurted out instinctively, "Fire Fist Ace? The second division commander of Whitebeard?"

At this moment, the three members of the white-clad couple have arrived in front of everyone.

"The Warring States Period!"

Upon hearing the government official call his name, Zhan Guo instinctively took a step forward.

"The prisoners have arrived!"

"This one was captured by the pirate Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach."

"Our World Government has agreed to grant Blackbeard the title of Shichibukai!"

"This prisoner will then be handed over to the Navy and taken to the underwater prison," the white-clad couple said solemnly.

At this moment, Fire Fist Ace stared at Garp in disbelief, his eyes wide.

He had thought he would run into his old man, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Realizing what had happened, he immediately lowered his head, his eyes dimming.

Garp was completely stunned; he hadn't expected that Ace had actually been captured.

He had a stern face the whole way here, I never expected it to be true.

Garp clenched his fists instinctively, and his aura gradually increased.

Rorschach, who was standing next to him, could clearly sense this aura, but he couldn't tell if it was Observation Haki or something else.

Almost instantly, Rorschach grabbed Garp's shoulder, and spatial power manifested in his hand.

The two instantly appeared thirty meters away from Ace.

Garp's reddened pupils were fixed on Rorschach, as if he wanted to devour him.
