One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 194 The Leisurely Duo

Xia Shou sheathed his sword, his face expressionless.

Garp's eyes widened. "Rorschach really killed him?"

"Yeah, there's no use keeping these two around!"

Rorschach's calm tone revealed a hint of determination, and Garp, who knew him very well, was slightly taken aback.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi that was in Rorschach's pocket rang.

Blue blue blue~

Rorschach took out a Den Den Mushi and put it to his ear. Smoker's distinctive smoky voice came through, "Rorschach, where are you?"

"I've already brought my men over."

"Okay, you wait here." Luo Xia hung up the phone after saying that.

At the same time, Rorschach closed his eyes and used his Observation Haki to carefully sense Smoker's location.

A few seconds later, light flowed in Rorschach's hand, and a gray-white Anywhere Door unfolded on the ground.

Meanwhile, Smoker, who was waiting in place, also noticed the door and immediately called everyone to go in.

After everyone passed through the Anywhere Door, Rorschach saw that Smoker had brought a group of Navy soldiers.

Smoker stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the research institute not far away.

“How’s the situation here?” Smoker asked.

Luo Xia pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Two problems have been solved, but the research being conducted at this research institute is not a legitimate experiment."

Smoker frowned and said, "Shall we send someone in to search first?"

Luo Xia pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, you can take your people in. As for me and the old man, we won't go in."

"Oh, by the way, the Straw Hat crew is inside too, remember not to attack them!"

Smoker, hearing Rorschach's words, pursed his lips helplessly, "I know, as long as they don't cause trouble."

He then led the naval soldiers toward the research institute.

After everyone left, Garp leaned close to Rorschach and whispered, "Why didn't you let me go in with them?"

Luo Xia shrugged. "Old man, you should know your own strength right now, shouldn't you?"

"If I used almost all my strength, I could probably punch a hole through this research institute with one punch, right?"

Karp nodded. "Easy."

"That settles it then. Since you're so strong, why should I put you in there?"

"Besides, your grandson is still very strong. We just need to wait for him to bring out Caesar. Why bother with all that trouble?"

As the two were talking, bursts of bombardment came from inside the research institute, as if a fight had broken out.

Luo Xia pointed to the research institute, "Let's go, old man, let's sit in the front for a while!"

Garp followed Rorschach to a large rock not far away, and the two sat down side by side.

"I wonder if Smoker can handle it," Garp said casually.

Rorschach said casually, "Don't worry, even if Smoker isn't up to par, I still have the marines I've trained. So many Mythical Zoan species are enough to take down the entire research institute."

"Besides, with the Straw Hat crew stirring things up, Caesar won't escape."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a loud bang was heard from inside the research institute, as if a fierce battle was taking place inside.

However, the two didn't even look at it. One was only focused on eating rice crackers, while the other had already taken out a deck chair and lay down on it.

The two men's appearances formed a stark contrast to the guys fighting inside.

Two hours had passed in the blink of an eye, but the battle inside the research institute had not yet stopped.

The two leisurely duo outside could even hear Luffy's roar.

Just then, Luo Xia stood up and stretched, but he suddenly stopped halfway through.

The next second, Rorschach grabbed Garp, activated his spatial abilities, and in a few flashes, Rorschach brought Garp to the back of the research institute.

The back of the research institute faced the coastline, and at that moment, Rorschach's eyes were fixed intently on one direction.

There is a person riding a bicycle on the sea.

Luo Xia plopped down on the ground, grinning as he stared at the person on the sea. If Luo Xia wasn't mistaken, it should be Kuzan.

Garp followed suit and sat down.

Kuzan rode to the shore, stopped his bicycle, and looked at Rorschach and Garp. "Long time no see, you two."

Rorschach chuckled and replied, "What brings you here, Kuzan? Did you just come here to watch the show?"

Kuzan scratched his head. "I guess so. I've heard it's quite interesting here."

Garp stuffed a rice cracker into his mouth and mumbled, "You little rascal, you're definitely up to no good."

Kuzan smiled helplessly, "Garp-senpai is still so direct."

"Actually, I'm just curious about how much the Straw Hat Boy has grown up."

"Furthermore, I can sense Luo Xia's terrifying strength; he's truly a force to be reckoned with!"

At that moment, the research institute was shaken violently again, accompanied by Luffy's excited shout.

Luo Xia crossed his arms and said, "The fight inside is really exciting; it's probably not long from over."

Kuzan looked towards the research institute, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "I really want to see who will be able to capture Caesar in the end."

Suddenly, the walls of the research institute were blown off, and thick black smoke billowed out from inside.

Tashigi and Nami also emerged, followed by a group of children of varying ages, and at the very back were several marines who had already transformed into beasts.

Kuzan immediately recognized whose officers they were from their naval uniforms.

"Oh my god, Mythical Zoan type Devil Fruit users, Rorschach, you actually have the heart to let them eat this kind of Devil Fruit?"

Luo Xia shrugged. "It's fine. Everyone in our G5 branch has one anyway. I even replaced that old smoker's fruit with a Rumble-Rumble Fruit. He's incredibly strong now."

Kuzan raised an eyebrow after hearing this. "You're really generous. If other forces found out, it would probably cause quite a stir."

Luo Xia laughed nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? With strength, you naturally have nothing to fear from others' covetousness."

"What's more, our G5 branch has a powerful weapon that we're not afraid of even if the Four Emperors come!"

Speaking of this, Kuzan seemed to have thought of something, "The ultimate weapon you mentioned, is it Mr. Garp?"

Rorschach nodded, then patted Garp on the shoulder, "That's right, the old man's current strength is more than enough to withstand Kaido."

Rorschach raised an eyebrow at Kuzan and smiled, "How about it? You left the pirates before, now do you want to join my G5 branch?"

"I don't have a hierarchy here. As long as you join, you'll get a lot of benefits from this place."

“I’ve recently discovered quite a few strange and unusual things, and I can try them all on you.”

After he finished speaking, Luo Xia seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and quickly explained, "These are all good things."

Kuzan's lips twitched slightly after hearing Rorschach's words. "Your so-called 'benefits' sound a bit dangerous."

Garp burst out laughing, "Kuzan, that kid is just so unreliable."

Rorschach didn't pay much attention to their conversation, but he was determined to take Kuzan as a fighter. Even if he had to knock him out and take him back, Rorschach was going to do it.
