One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 188 Taking a Boat, Punk Hazard

The Straw Hat Pirates continued their voyage, and the crew sat together discussing what had just happened.

Luffy laughed and said, "That Rorschach is quite interesting."

Nami, however, huffed and puffed, "Hmph, they stole so many Berries from us."

Fortunately, it was only a portion of them.

At this moment, Robin, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "About half a month ago, the G5 branch had a small-scale battle with Kaido, one of the Four Emperors."

"Among them, Jack the Drought, one of the three calamities under Kaido, was captured by Rorschach."

It was at this time that Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, attacked the G5 branch, resulting in Kaido's defeat and escape.

"I think if we encounter Luo Xia again, and we are not as strong as him, we should not make a move easily."

"Because this person has a very strange personality and mysterious abilities."

"Even the newspapers only published information about three Devil Fruit abilities."

"His strength is unfathomable."

Usopp scratched his head, looking a little nervous, and said, "I hope we don't run into such a powerful guy again."

Sanji exhaled a smoke ring and said nonchalantly, "Who cares? If he dares to touch my crew or my food, I won't let him get away with it."

Zoro gripped his sword tightly, his eyes resolute: "No matter who the opponent is, anyone who stands in our way must be defeated."

Luffy jumped up and shouted, "That's right, that's right, but he doesn't seem like a bad guy either."

Just as everyone was discussing this, Chopper suddenly shouted from the lookout tower, "Two black dots spotted ahead, they look like big birds!"

Everyone immediately became alert.

As they drew closer, it became clear that two people in naval uniforms were standing on the backs of two Thunderbirds not far from the bow of the ship. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the people standing on them were Rorschach and Garp.

Rorschach and Garp smiled slightly, took a step forward, then turned and waved, "Be careful on your way back."

"Understood, boss!"

Luffy waved excitedly: "Hi, Rorschach, we meet again."

Rorschach smiled and said, "Straw Hat Kid, it seems we're quite destined for each other."

Nami muttered to herself from behind, "How come we ran into this guy again?"

Robin, meanwhile, calmly observed Rorschach, pondering the purpose of his trip.

After Rorschach and Garp landed on the ship, Luffy approached them curiously and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Luo Xia shrugged, his eyes deep. "I just thought of something and decided to go out to sea."

"What's the matter?" Luffy pressed on.

But as soon as Luffy finished speaking, Nami covered his mouth.

Perhaps fearing that Rorschach would get angry and arrest them all, Nami tightly covered Luffy's mouth.

"Ahem, Vice Admiral Rorschach, Luffy's talking too much. I'll shut him up for you."

Luo Xia waved his hand and laughed, "It's nothing. I'm just in a hurry to go to sea to kill someone. There's no need to be so nervous."

"Kill...kill someone?" Usopp's voice trembled with fear.

Rorschach smiled and explained, "Don't worry, I won't kill you."

"As for who to kill, that's not something I can tell you."

Then Rorschach patted Garp on the shoulder and laughed, "Even the old man was someone I dragged over."

Garp snorted coldly, "I was just about to have a good rest, but I didn't expect to be captured by you, brat."

Luo Xia shrugged, sat down by himself, and looked quite relaxed.

Seeing that Rorschach had sat down, Nami and Luffy across from him also sat down.

Nami asked, "So, Lieutenant General Rorschach, are you going to follow us the whole time?"

"Or rather, it's about going to that island; perhaps we're going there too."

Rorschach stroked his chin, and after a few minutes he finally remembered which island it was.

"Hmm—! We're going to Punk Hazard!"

"That's a really fun island, Luffy, do you want to go check it out?" Rorschach tempted.

Luffy's eyes lit up. "Fun? Of course we have to go!"

Nami quickly grabbed him, "Wait, Luffy, I just checked the Log Pose, we have no intention of going to Punk Hazard."

"Our next island is Thor's Isle and..."

Before Nami could finish speaking, Luffy stood up, raised his fists, and said with a grin, "Friends, let's go to Punk Hazard next."

Nami looked helpless upon hearing Luffy's decision.

Seeing this, Rorschach smiled and said, "Don't worry, Punk Hazard is not a dangerous island."

Upon hearing this, Nami's eyes lit up instantly.

Who doesn't want to be safer when sailing on the high seas?

The ship sailed toward Punk Hazard, and as it reached the edge of the island, a wave of heat wafted toward the Straw Hat crew's ship.

"It feels a bit hot here," Usopp said, shrinking his neck.

Garp nodded and said, "I remember this is where Kuzan and Sakazuki fought before."

"It's really gotten this bad?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Xia's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Although he hadn't heard much about it in the New World before, he had seen it before.

Nami, dressed in revealing clothing, appeared before Rorschach and asked, "Lieutenant General Rorschach, is it really possible to land here?"

"Isn't this a bit too hot?"

As she spoke, Nami would occasionally open her clothes to cool down.

Luo Xia quickly looked away, cleared his throat, and said, "It's possible, but I'm here to kill a few people. Do you really want to land on this island?"

Then Rorschach pointed at Luffy, who was in a daze, and asked, "Are you sure your captain can really make that decision?"

Nami turned her head and rolled her eyes at Luffy, then helplessly shrugged, "There's nothing we can do. That's just our captain's personality. He'll definitely do what he sets his mind to, and we agreed to it."

"Alright, if you've prepared the number of people going, you can come with me. I'll take you to the island."

After Nami and the others had gone some distance, Garp, who hadn't spoken until now, finally asked, "Kid, did you really come to this island to kill someone?"

"Of course, old man, I'm not only going to kill people, I'm going to arrest them too."

"As for who I killed, I can only tell you once I find him."

Garp smiled helplessly, "Alright, anyway, you can beat any Yonko."

Rorschach smiled slightly, plopped down on the deck, and quietly watched the Straw Hat crew draw lots.

He seemed to have seen a similar scene in his previous life.
