One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 240 I... Became a Marshal in the Future?

Young Garp, his eyes wide and round, rolled up his suit sleeves and said defiantly, "Come on! You think you're afraid of me?"

Luo Xia quickly stopped the two men who were about to fight, cleared his throat and said, "Please calm down and let me explain."

"Taking action won't solve the problem!"

Everyone fell silent and looked at Luo Xia.

"Actually, this is not a Devil Fruit ability, but a phenomenon of time travel."

Rorschach pointed to Garp beside him, "This guy comes from the future. We planned to travel back to this time together."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xia hurriedly explained, "Ahem, I misspoke, I misspoke!"

"It's because I'm an inventor, and I happened to invent something called a time machine, so I'm looking at things from our time."

Young Garp and Sengoku exchanged a glance, their faces filled with disbelief.

Rorschach continued, "So you two shouldn't fight amongst yourselves. If you start fighting, it's not certain who will win. It's better to make money peacefully."

After stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, young Garp burst into laughter: "Haha, anyway, this is quite an interesting thing." Sengoku also laughed along.

This was during the Warring States period when someone asked, "So, where did you come from?"

Rorschach nodded. "That's right, it'll be about several decades from now!"

"If you want to know what happens next, I can tell you some unimportant things, but I can't say anything about the very important things!"

“Because I don’t know either!” Rorschach shrugged.

Upon hearing this, young Garp's eyes lit up. He was about to ask a question when Sengoku interrupted him, "Since you're all here today, why don't you go to Marine Headquarters and have a seat first?"

"Tell us what the situation is like at sea afterward?"

When Sengoku spoke, his eyes were fixed on Luo Xia, as if Luo Xia's agreement meant everything was settled.

After all, Sengoku knew what kind of person Garp was.

Rorschach scratched his head. "Going to the Navy Headquarters is fine, but there are some things I can't say for sure." So the group headed towards the warship.

However, even after everyone else had boarded the warship, Rorschach had not yet gotten on board.

Luo Xia stood on the ice and closed his eyes. Under the gaze of many, Luo Xia stretched out an arm, but in the blink of an eye, that arm slammed heavily into the air.

Everyone who heard the sound of the glass shattering was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, the sea surface, which had been frozen solid by Rorschach, split into pieces.

The sea also became unusually turbulent.

Luo Xia also took advantage of this break to float onto the warship.

Sengoku shouted, "Quickly, set sail and avoid those ice blocks!"

"yes-!"

After an unknown amount of time, the group finally sailed the warship back to the naval headquarters.

The Naval Headquarters of this era was no different from the Naval Headquarters where Rorschach and his crew were located.

As the warship slowly entered the port, Rorschach handed a mask to both Garp and Gion.

"Put it on, it'll save you a lot of trouble!"

Garp and Gion took the masks and put them on, and then the group disembarked.

When the soldiers at the Navy Headquarters saw Sengoku returning with strangers, they all cast curious glances at him, but upon seeing Sengoku's serious expression, they quickly looked away.

Soon Rorschach and the others were taken to Garp's villa, since traveling from the past to the future was too unbelievable.

So Rorschach specifically chose Garp's villa, and on the way there, Rorschach asked the young Garp if he had a villa, only to be punched on the spot.

It seems like that's what they said back then: "You brat, I own a villa. Are you underestimating me?"

At this moment, Marshal Sengoku, having closed the doors and windows, sat down on the sofa. As soon as he sat down, he asked, "Young Brother Luo Xia, I wonder what that ability you just had was...?"

Rorschach chuckled, clenching his fist. Soon, a circle of white-gray light appeared. "The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"

"You read that right!"

Sengoku's eyes widened. "The Tremor-Tremor Fruit? How did it end up with you?"

Rorschach waved his hand and said casually, "I consider myself an inventor; the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is just an invention."

Young Garp watched with interest, saying, "Who cares, as long as you're not an enemy."

Sitting next to Rorschach, the elderly Garp grinned and said, "Actually, I have one too!"

As the same light as Rorschach appeared, Sengoku and Garp, sitting opposite him, were completely shocked.

The two looked at Luo Xia simultaneously, their shock undisguised.

Compared to shock, the admiration in the eyes of the Warring States period was undisguised; it was the kind of look one would give when admiring a rare treasure.

Only the young Garp was getting impatient. Garp said, "Hey, Rorschach kid, are you still going to talk about the future or not?"

"Speak! But what do you want to hear, old man Garp?"

Garp rubbed his hands together, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. "I wonder when I'll have a grandson."

"Did my grandson eventually become the strongest marine I trained?"

Although Garp only has a son now, that doesn't stop him from wanting a grandson.

Upon hearing this, Rorschach and Gion were extremely embarrassed, while Garp, sitting next to Rorschach, immediately darkened his face.

Before he could speak, Rorschach immediately used his Devil Fruit power to seal his mouth shut.

Rorschach laughed and said, "Your grandson is very strong. He's comparable to an admiral in our country. He's just as you thought, so old man Garp, you don't need to worry."

Young Garp smiled with satisfaction upon hearing Rorschach's words, "Haha, as expected of my grandson."

Sengoku stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "A person whose strength rivals that of a general must be an extraordinary individual."

His hearty laugh echoed throughout the villa, clearly showing that Garp really liked children.

Garp continued, "So, did I become stronger? Did I finally arrest that bastard Roger?"

Rorschach scratched his head and said with a smile, "Of course, you're quite a formidable figure, you've captured quite a few powerful pirates." Garp laughed smugly.

Then Sengoku asked, "How is our navy developing?"

Rorschach pondered for a moment and said, "The navy is constantly growing stronger, but pirates are also emerging one after another, and the world situation remains complex and volatile."

Sengoku nodded slightly. "It seems that the navy's responsibilities are always heavy and far-reaching, no matter what."

"By the way, are you all lieutenant generals?"

"Judging from the ranks on your capes, you're both lieutenant generals!"

Luo Xia remained silent, but Gion smiled and said, "Yes, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I am a candidate for admiral, and Luo Xia is a vice admiral."

As soon as Gion finished speaking, Sengoku's eyes lit up. "What did you just call me?"

"Uh, Sengoku... Marshal!"

Sengoku pointed to his own nose and asked, "Am I going to become a marshal in the future?"
