One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 199 The Other Side of Gion

Not long after, a gray-white portal opened by Rorschach appeared in the open space of the G5 branch.

Zhan Guo stepped out of the door, looked around, saw a group of children in front of him, and asked in confusion, "Is this the interesting thing you were talking about?"

Luo Xia smiled and nodded, then told Zhan Guo about the origins of these children.

Upon hearing this, Sengoku's expression turned grave. "So it was Caesar, that mad scientist, who always creates these tragedies."

"Marshal, let's go, I'll show you around first!"

"I was thinking of just dumping these kids in your office, but then I thought it might not be very ethical," Luo Xia said, scratching his head sheepishly.

Zhan Guo rolled his eyes at Luo Xia and said speechlessly, "You bastard, if you dare to do that, then I'll come over and beat you up."

Luo Xia narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "You old monk, you might not be able to beat me now."

However, he couldn't say that outwardly.

"Luckily I didn't do that!"

The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at the port.

A large number of marines are currently gathered at the port of the G5 branch, some of whom are moving things while others are leisurely relaxing.

The Warring States period and Luo Xia came to the port.

Sengoku spotted Kuzan's back at first glance, but he only felt that it was somewhat familiar and didn't pay much attention to it.

Turning his gaze back, Zhan Guo looked up and saw children of varying ages sitting on the ground not far away.

At the very front, Gion was telling them a story in a gentle tone, a sight Rorschach had never seen before.

People who don't know her personality would probably think that Gion is a very gentle person.

Standing at a distance, Luo Xia couldn't help but laugh out loud. This caught the attention of Zhiyuan, who glared at Luo Xia with a warning look in her eyes.

Luo Xia quickly covered his mouth, signaling that he would stop making a sound.

Sengoku stepped forward and carefully examined the children's condition. The children looked at Sengoku with curiosity, their eyes full of innocence and expectation.

Just then, a little boy timidly tugged at Zhan Guo's sleeve and asked, "Are you here to save us too?"

Zhan Guo nodded gently.

With the arrival of the Warring States period, Gion also made time for it.

She strode up to Luo Xia and asked, "You were laughing just now?"

"Tell me, what were you laughing at just now?"

Luo Xia spread his hands innocently and said, "I just think you're cute like this. I don't usually see that."

Gion blushed slightly and pretended to hit him, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll teach you a lesson."

Sengoku squatted down and gently asked the little boy more about what had happened to them.

The little boy's eyes were red, and his voice trembled slightly as he recounted his terrifying experiences in Caesar's laboratory. The surrounding marines looked on with pity as they listened.

Rorschach finally escaped Gion's questioning and headed towards Sengoku.

Luo Xia, with one hand in his pocket, approached Sengoku and asked, "Marshal, what do you plan to do with these children?"

Sengoku rolled his eyes at Rorschach. "What punishment? Do you think this is some kind of pirate?"

Sengoku stood up and shouted to the surrounding marines, "Make sure these children get a good rest, find someone to take care of them, then give them a medical check-up, contact their families or find suitable adoptive parents."

However, no one answered Sengoku's question after he spoke for a long time. They continued to do their own things, as if Fleet Admiral Sengoku did not exist.

Just then, Garp, who was eating senbei, came up to Sengoku and laughed loudly, "Sengoku, is nobody paying attention to you?"

Sengoku glared at Garp, his face dark. "What do you know, you bastard?"

While chewing on a senbei, Garp said, "This place is full of Rorschach's men. Only people from this island have any influence."

"Even if the Fleet Admiral came, it wouldn't make a difference. Of course, these are rules that Rorschach set beforehand."

Upon hearing Fleet Admiral Sengoku's words, some marines immediately stopped what they were doing and ran back to the training ground.

They seemed to be afraid that the Warring States period would summon them again.

Sengoku glared at Rorschach with a dark expression and said speechlessly, "You brat, look at the rules you set. Even I, the Fleet Admiral, am useless here."

Rorschach shrugged helplessly. "Marshal, my marines aren't good at these things."

“They’re best at robbery, training, and gang fights. Of course, they’re also good at scheming. Most importantly, they’re obedient,” Rorschach said, scrolling through his fingers.

As Luo Xia spoke, he looked up and noticed that Sengoku's face was growing increasingly dark.

"Ahem, Marshal, don't worry, I'll open the door right away and let the people from the Navy Headquarters come over."

Rorschach quickly opened a portal, and Sengoku made a phone call.

Moments later, the naval headquarters soldiers filed in.

During the Warring States period, they were instructed to take care of the children in an orderly manner.

Luo Xia stood to the side watching, a smile playing on his lips.

Before long, the marines led the children of varying ages through the Anywhere Door and returned to Marine Headquarters.

This was also what the Warring States marshal requested, and the children seemed very sensible; none of them cried or objected.

Moreover, the Warring States Marshal has also made arrangements, and the children will be properly taken care of.

After all the children left, Rorschach opened the Anywhere Door and plopped down on the ground. "Phew, I'm exhausted."

These words made Sengoku's face turn dark, and he felt an even stronger urge to beat up Rorschach.

Just as Sengoku clenched his fist, a very familiar voice rang out behind Marshal Sengoku.

"Oh my, Marshal, it's been a long time!"

Sengoku suddenly turned his head and saw Aokiji, whom he hadn't seen for a long time and who had left the navy.

"Huh? Ao... Aokiji?"

"How will you be here?"

The shock in the eyes of the Warring States Marshal was no lie.

This made Rorschach, who was standing to the side, even more curious.

Rorschach leaned forward and asked, "Wait, didn't Kuzan send you out on a mission?"

"Could it be that he voluntarily left the Navy?"

Aokiji slowly spoke: "Rorschach, you've been deceived. I've long wanted to leave the Navy, but I just haven't found an opportunity to do so."

Luo Xia's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

Sengoku frowned and asked, "Why? What has the navy done to wrong you?"

Aokiji looked into the distance and said calmly, "It's just a difference in ideals. The Navy's justice is too complicated. I want to pursue my own justice."

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy at this moment. Rorschach broke the silence: "It's okay, Kuzan has already joined my G5 branch anyway."

"I don't need the complicated justice that the Navy Headquarters has."

“If you don’t like someone, just beat them up. The Four Emperors are no exception. Of course, if those bastards in the World Government dare to cause trouble, just kill them,” Rorschach replied with a smile.

Sengoku glared at Luo Xia and said, "You little brat..."

Aokiji nodded: "I understand. After all, you and Mr. Garp have both been in the newspapers, and Mr. Garp has become even stronger now."

"I also want to continue learning from Mr. Karp."

Garp was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, good, you want to become as strong as me, that's great."

"And Rorschach is right, our G5 branch doesn't need to be subservient to the Navy Headquarters."

"We have no shortage of money or fighting power."
