One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 174 The IOU of the Warring States Period

Naval Headquarters, Sengoku Office.

At this moment, almost everyone except Fujitora was sitting on the sofa.

Their eyes were fixed on Rorschach, who was sitting on the ground, constantly spitting out Devil Fruits.

The crowd went from being surprised to being numb, because Rorschach had been digging for half an hour.

And yet, all sorts of Devil Fruits of various colors kept popping out of his palm.

The most nervous person at this moment is definitely Sengoku, because he only has 30 billion, and he is not sure if he can sell all of these Devil Fruits to him, the marshal.

A few seconds later...

Rorschach finally extracted all the Devil Fruits.

Luo Xia glanced at the sweat beading on Sengoku's forehead and grinned mischievously, "Hehe, Marshal, I wonder if you have enough money?"

"Although I don't have four or five hundred here, I do have two or three hundred."

"Enough to arm an army."

Sengoku wiped his forehead nervously and took out a card with a gold-rimmed edge from his pocket.

"There are 30 billion here, I want them all!"

During the Warring States period, he clearly lacked confidence when speaking, and his voice was rather soft.

Whether it was Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru, or Gion sitting on the sofa, everyone's expression looked somewhat strange.

That expression seemed to say, "You don't actually want to buy one for a hundred million, do you?"

"I must be dreaming."

at the same time.

When Luo Xia heard that Sengoku could come up with that amount, the smile on his face froze instantly.

He then curled his lip and said speechlessly, "Damn, even freeloaders aren't this good, Marshal!"

"I've given you all the Devil Fruits I've been saving!"

Faced with Luo Xia's incessant chatter, Sengoku tapped the table to signal Luo Xia to quiet down for the time being.

Luo Xia glanced at Sengoku, wanting to see what the old man wanted to say.

"Take this card for now!"

Sengoku simply tossed it to Luo Xia, and Luo Xia had no reason not to accept it, so he put it into his spatial storage.

Zhan Guo cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, although 30 billion isn't a lot, it's still quite a lot."

"Consider the rest as an IOU from this old man. Anyway, you have no use for these fruits."

"You can decide how many to fight; this marshal is going all out this time!"

With Zhan Guo looking so resolute, Luo Xia couldn't refuse him and instead lowered his head to ponder.

In an instant, all eyes were on Luo Xia.

After about five minutes, Luo Xia looked up and said, "Okay, but I'll decide the exact price!"

"Okay, okay, that's good!"

Overjoyed, Zhan Guo exclaimed "Good!" three times.

Luo Xia conceived a sentence in his mind and then went to the opposite side of the Warring States desk.

"Marshal, I'll tell you what to write!"

"it is good!"

Zhan Guo took out a piece of white paper from the drawer.

"I, Sengoku, owe Vice Admiral Rorschach 2000 billion Berries for purchasing Devil Fruits!"

As soon as Luo Xia spoke, Sengoku quickly wrote down the IOU.

Sengoku looked at the IOU he had written himself, and his lips twitched.

"Two hundred billion is a fairly reasonable price, and it's acceptable."

"I never imagined that a marshal like me would be so in debt! I never expected it!"

Since it was all voluntary, Sengoku only complained a little. He even wondered if the debt would fall on the next marshal if he retired before he had paid it off.

Thinking about it this way, the Warring States period was secretly pleased.

"What are you thinking, you old codger?"

Luo Xia suddenly leaned closer to Sengoku, staring at him with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Several question marks suddenly appeared above the Warring States Marshal's head, and his expression changed from bewilderment to hostility.

Perhaps noticing Sengoku's gaze, Luo Xia grinned mischievously, waving his note in his hand and saying, "I am now officially your creditor. As for what you call me, do whatever you want!"

"Okay, okay!"

When can I have those fruits on the ground?

Zhan Guo pointed to the pile on the ground.

"You mean this? That's fine, but let me give you a tool to help you out!"

Rorschach didn't explain. He pointed his palm at the Devil Fruits, and the next second, hundreds of Devil Fruits started moving as Rorschach moved.

Hundreds of Devil Fruits were intertwined, creating a truly astonishing scene.

Rorschach didn't do it because he thought it was just a simple spin.

Soon, a huge white-gray air cube appeared in Rorschach's palm.

They simply framed hundreds of Devil Fruits.

The cube then gradually shrank, until it was finally the size of a palm.

Luo Xia nodded in satisfaction upon seeing the finished product, and then threw the palm-sized cube directly at Sengoku.

Because he wasn't paying attention, Sengoku was suddenly attacked by the blocks, and by the time he realized what was happening, his right cheek was already a little red.

"You brat..."

"Marshal, do you want it or not?"

Before Sengoku could even utter a curse, Rorschach had already interrupted his spellcasting.

This prevented Sengoku from uttering any more curses, since he still hadn't figured out Luo Xia's temper.

Zhan Guo replied with a forced smile, "Yes, of course I want it!"

"That's good. Marshal, remember to catch it!"

Rorschach immediately swung his arms a few times and threw the spatial cube in his hand hard at Sengoku's cheek.

Seeing this speed, Sengoku dared not underestimate it, and Armament Haki instantly covered his arms.

After Sengoku caught the spatial cube, wisps of white smoke appeared in his palm, demonstrating just how much force Rorschach had thrown it.

The four people, including Long Yi, sitting on the sofa, all felt their hearts skip a beat.

He was thinking that he should cultivate diligently when he got back, lest he accidentally get killed by his boss.

This is not a joke.

When Sengoku received the cube, he felt that the cube in his palm was soft, like tree sap, but not sticky at all, and very soft.

Sengoku was very puzzled and then asked, "What is this thing you gave me?"

"Still so soft?"

"It does resemble the Surgery Fruit of Torafalga."

Luo Xia secretly memorized the name. If it weren't for Fleet Admiral Sengoku's reminder, he would have almost forgotten about the Op-Op Fruit.

"Are you getting old and senile? What I gave you was naturally a Devil Fruit, otherwise what did you think it was, Marshal?"

Before Sengoku could refute him, Rorschach began to explain.

"This is my Devil Fruit ability, a spatial ability, which I discovered by chance!"

Upon hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes in unison.

They would believe it if someone else said it, but they would be a fool to believe it if it came from Rorschach's mouth.

Most people are lucky to find even one Devil Fruit in their lifetime, but if you find one Devil Fruit user, you'll have countless.

You told us that you found it by chance?
