One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 26 Having a powerful backer is definitely an advantage!

"Alright, I'm going to find Admiral Kizaru now!"

Then, Gion pointed to Luo Xia's chest and said, "As for you, go back and practice your swordsmanship now. If you're still sleeping on the recliner when I get back, don't blame me!"

"Wait, I still need to go to the forging department, it will take some time!"

Gion raised an eyebrow; thinking about it, she did indeed recall what Luo Xia had said before.

"Alright then, you'd better hurry!"

After warning Rorschach, Gion strode off toward the Navy Building.

After Zhiyuan walked away, Luo Xia pouted, "Honestly, all you know is cultivation. If you didn't cultivate, would you beat me up?"

After complaining, Luo Xia was stumped. "Does the Navy have a forging department?"

Where is it?

As he walked and pondered, a familiar figure appeared in Luo Xia's field of vision.

Rorschach's eyes lit up, and he quickly ran to the two people in front to greet them, "Grandpa Garp, Admiral Aokiji!"

"Oh? It's you, you brat!"

Garp laughed heartlessly.

Aokiji frowned at Rorschach and asked, "Rorschach, are you unable to control your freezing ability?"

Why does your face always seem covered with a layer of ice?

Luo Xia was taken aback and touched his half of the ice mask, then removed the ice mask, revealing the diagonal scratches on his body.

Luo Xia pointed to his face and said helplessly, "I got beaten up by Sister Zhiyuan because I was lazy in my cultivation."

"Because I was afraid of losing face, I temporarily covered it up with my ability, it's not what Admiral Aokiji thought!"

I have to explain.

When Garp looked at the clearly defined abrasion on his face, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahahaha!"

"That girl from Gion... Hahahaha!"

Even Aokiji burst out laughing, completely disregarding Rorschach's feelings at that moment.

The moment Garp laughed, Rorschach immediately covered half of his face again.

So as not to let the surrounding marines look over and laugh even more.

After a short while, once the two had finished laughing, Luo Xia finally spoke up: "Alright, old man, stop laughing. I have something I need your help with!"

"Huh? Help? What kind of help?"

Aokiji also looked over, curious about what kind of help Rorschach needed from Garp.

Rorschach cleared his throat and asked, "Does the Navy have any forging departments or armories?"

"Yes, there is, but why are you asking this?" Garp asked curiously.

"Nothing much, I just have a new idea for synthesis, and I want to go ask for some knives, guns, and other weapons."

"And I also asked Gion-nee to go and call General Kizaru for me!"

At this point, Luo Xia and his companion visibly raised their eyelids slightly, clearly showing great interest.

Garp slapped Rorschach on the shoulder with a carefree grin and said, "Come with me, I'll take you there. Take as much as you want!"

Rorschach thought about it and realized it made sense. After all, there was a naval admiral and a naval hero present, so they had no choice but to give it to him.

Rorschach followed the two of them the whole way, and during that time he also made a lot of senbei for them to eat.

Before long, the three arrived at a bungalow, which was quite large.

As soon as Luo Xia entered the house, he felt a wave of heat hitting him, clearly indicating that this was the forging department.

I could hear the sounds of hammering and the cooling of weapons.

The sounds of marines hammering away at their ironwork created quite a lively atmosphere.

Rorschach looked around when suddenly a navy officer dressed in revealing clothing, seemingly in blacksmith's attire, appeared before the three of them.

"Vice Admiral Garp, Admiral Aokiji, and this young man, greetings!"

"What brings you two here?"

In Luo Xia's view, the burly man at this moment had an expression that seemed ready to grant any request.

This is probably the advantage of having connections!

If I were to come myself, I'd be lucky if they didn't kick me out.

"Kuzan and I are here for no reason. What's this kid doing here... what's his business again?"

Luo Xia was speechless, so he hurriedly said, "Hello, could you give me some of the guns, knives, or other weapons you forge? Ordinary ones are fine!"

“As for the number, let’s say a hundred!” Rorschach smiled.

The marine glanced at Garp and Aokiji, then nodded.

The marine turned around and shouted, "Brothers, find a hundred items, whether they're guns or knives, bring them all over!"

As soon as the burly man finished shouting, everyone nearby, whether they were blacksmiths or assistants, sprang into action and grabbed their weapons.

Number one in terms of action.

Luo Xia thought to himself: Is this guy their leader?

These people are so obedient!

Before Luo Xia could finish his reflection, more than a dozen people walked over, each carrying a weapon. After placing them on the ground, they went back to forging them.

"Lieutenant General Garp, should I send these weapons to their destination?"

Garp glanced at the small pile of weapons on the ground and waved his hand. "It's alright, the three of us can take it. You can go ahead and get busy!"

"Yes, Vice Admiral Garp!"

After the burly man left, Garp turned to look at Aokiji and then said to Rorschach, "Kuzan, brat, let's get started. You're going to Gion, right?"

"Perfect timing, the two of us will deliver it to you!"

Aokiji rubbed his forehead. "Oh dear, Vice Admiral Garp, you really know how to give us work to do!"

"Hahaha, hurry up!"

Seeing that Garp and Aokiji already had a small pile of weapons, Rorschach didn't hesitate either. After tidying up the weapons, he picked them up and walked outside.

The three walked side by side on the road, and the marines around them looked at them curiously.

None of the three paid any attention.

Just as the three men, weapons in hand, were walking toward the Gion residence, a man with a long sword at his waist and a mustache appeared before them.

The man was clearly taken aback when he saw the three of them like this, and then stepped forward and asked, "Vice Admiral Garp, Admiral Aokiji, where are you going?"

"Do you need any help?"

"Oh, Mole! We're going to Gion's house."

As he spoke, Garp gestured with his eyes to Rorschach beside him, "These weapons were all ordered by this kid; we were just responsible for moving them there!"

The three of them did not linger and continued walking forward, with the mole following behind.

The mole felt that Rorschach looked familiar, and since he was on vacation and had nothing to do, he was also very curious about what he was supposed to do.

As a gossipy person, how could I not be curious about this kind of thing?

Because the three of them walked very fast, it wasn't long before the four of them arrived at the Gion family's courtyard.

As soon as the three arrived at the Gion family home, the mole was stunned.

To his astonishment, he discovered a deck chair, a parasol, and a chair made of ice.

This made his gaze involuntarily turn to Aokiji, who was standing to the side.

"I didn't do this, Mole, don't look at me!"

Aokiji suddenly spoke, and the mole immediately turned its head back.

This puzzled him even more. In the entire navy, only Aokiji possessed the ability to freeze. If it wasn't Admiral Aokiji, then who else could it be?
