One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 288 The Grand Finale

As time ticked by, all the pirates present stared intently at Rorschach.

Most pirates felt more reluctance than anything else.

Luo Xia took a deep breath and asked in his mind, "System, if I step into the spatial rift, will I be able to return with all my abilities?"

The system's cold voice came directly to everyone's ears: "Luo Xia, this system cannot guarantee anything. However, this spatial rift leads to your original world, and whether you enter is up to you."

"And, as a friendly reminder, your time is running out!"

Rorschach frowned, looking around at the pirates who had fought alongside him, his heart filled with conflict.

Suddenly, a group of casually dressed marines shouted, "Boss, wherever you go, we'll always remember you!"

Other naval forces followed suit.

A warm feeling welled up in Luo Xia's heart. He clenched his fists and his eyes became firm.

"Who cares? At worst, I'll just stay here and be a navy officer for life," Rorschach said loudly.

The pirates and marines were stunned for a moment, then burst into a huge cheer.

Rorschach abandoned his idea of ​​stepping into the spatial rift. He turned to face the pirates, grinned, and said, "Since the World Government has already been taken down, why should I leave?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold, mechanical voice came from the horizon, "Rorschach, since you have chosen to stay in the pirate world, the spatial rift is about to close."

In an instant, the crack that had stood in the center of the crowd vanished from their sight.

Only then did Garp walk over, casually putting his arm around Rorschach's shoulder and laughing, "Kid, since you're not leaving, tell us what that sound was just now?"

"That voice sounded very ethereal, and I couldn't pinpoint its location."

As soon as Garp said this, almost all eyes turned to Rorschach.

This made Luo Xia feel embarrassed.

Luo Xia shook his head. "I'm sorry, I don't know how to say this either, so I apologize, old man."

As he spoke, Rorschach bowed deeply to Garp.

Rorschach's attack startled Garp, who quickly took three steps back.

This was the first time he had ever seen Luo Xia bow to him so solemnly, making his old heart pound.

Garp scratched his head, chuckled twice, and said, "Kid, no...no need to be so polite."

Luo Xia straightened up, about to say something, when a series of hurried footsteps came from not far away. Judging from the sound, it seemed that quite a few people had arrived.

Everyone looked over with curiosity and saw that Kizaru, Akainu, Sengoku and others were leading the way, followed by tens of thousands of marines.

Upon seeing Sengoku, the pirates on Rorschach's side, though unafraid, all drew their weapons, their expressions extremely serious.

Luo Xia gave a wry smile and activated his ability to instantly teleport in front of Sengoku.

Sengoku ignored Rorschach, instead looking around. Seeing so much blood at the scene, his pupils widened instantly, and he asked incredulously, "Hey, Rorschach, did you... wipe out the World Government?"

Rorschach crossed his arms and shrugged. "Marshal, you can see who's sitting under Shanks' ass."

Although Sengoku was puzzled when he heard Luo Xia say something, he still looked over.

When Shanks noticed Sengoku's gaze, he grinned and then deliberately threw the head of the swordsman under his buttocks into Sengoku's arms.

This sudden action nearly made Sengoku's eyes pop out of their sockets.

But being a veteran of countless battles from the Warring States period, he quickly regained his composure after realizing his lapse in composure.

Upon seeing the heads at his feet, Sengoku couldn't help but swear, "Holy crap!"

"This...this...this is the Swordsman, one of the Five Elders?"

"That's his head!"

Seeing Sengoku's shock, Rorschach patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Fleet Marshal, the World Government has been destroyed by us, so the Five Elders are naturally gone too."

"Don't be too shocked, and don't be too scared!"

Luo Xia glanced at the swordsman at Sengoku's feet and their eyes met. A look of disgust flashed in Luo Xia's eyes, and he immediately stomped on the swordsman's head and crushed it.

Immediately afterwards, Rorschach seemed to be deep in thought, and instantly teleported to Shanks' side.

Within seconds, Rorschach found what he was looking for.

At this moment, Rorschach was holding a knife with a flame-shaped blade pattern. It was a typical flame-patterned steel blade, forged by folding and forging, with a relatively long blade and a large curvature.

Luo Xia examined it carefully and finally said in a low voice, "Is this really a demon sword?"

"Why does it look like an ordinary longsword?"

Shanks, who had been wanting to ask this question since earlier, answered directly upon seeing this scene: "Rorschach, you just cut down this cursed sword. How could it dare to show any demonic aura in your hands?"

"So that's how it is. There really is such a knife."

Shanks and Rorschach ignored Sengoku's expression and immediately started talking about the first generation Kitetsu.

After an unknown amount of time, Sengoku coughed lightly twice, "Ahem, Rorschach, tell me the specific details of the battle."

Luo Xia shook his head, refusing decisively, "Marshal, I don't remember, you should ask the old man."

"Also, I'm too weak right now, could you please arrange a banquet?"

"After all, we defeated the most evil force in the world."

Sengoku sighed helplessly, but considering that they had just experienced a great battle, he nodded in agreement, "Alright, then let's hold a grand banquet."

"During the banquet, pirates, marines, and even members of the Revolutionary Army are all welcome to participate."

The sounds of the Warring States period sounded so beautiful in the quiet holy land of Mary Geoise.

The pirates present were all great pirates, so they weren't that excited, but they all showed joy on their faces.

Pirates, marines, and revolutionaries all gathered together in an unprecedented event.

At the banquet, a mountain of delicious food and wine was piled up.

Rorschach sat in the corner, quietly drinking his wine and watching everyone laugh and joke around.

Just then, Gion walked over with Sengoku.

When Sengoku came up to him, he said, "Boy, you were a bit reckless this time, but the result was good. Not bad, not bad. I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

Luo Xia curled his lip, "Stop trying to glorify yourself."

"By the way, old man, do we need that stupid bird to make a newspaper for such a big event?"

Sengoku rolled his eyes at Luo Xia. "Of course it's necessary. This matter must be told to the whole world."

After saying that, Sengoku wanted to turn around and leave to find Morgans, but Rorschach used his ability to block him.

Sengoku turned his head and asked, "What do you mean by this, kid?"

"It's nothing, you didn't need to go to so much trouble."

Rorschach stood up. "Wait a moment!"

Rorschach arrived at a slightly more spacious area, and the next second, he spread his arms wide, and the Anywhere Door opened.

Upon seeing the house on the other side of the door, Rorschach took a deep breath and shouted, "You stupid Morgans, get out here right now!"

Morgans burst from his newspaper office in a flurry of feathers. “Lord Rorschach, hello, what can I do for you?” he said, his tone utterly humble.

This completely stunned Luo Xia, who asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you, you idiot?"

Why is your attitude so good all of a sudden?

Mogos gave an awkward smile, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Luo Xia didn't waste any words and said directly, "Enough with the nonsense. Something big happened here today, and you have to give it a proper report."

Upon hearing this, Morgans' eyes lit up immediately. "What important matter?"

"Hmph, we just wiped out the World Government, and all five Elders are dead," Rorschach said casually.

Morgans swallowed hard, nearly fainting from shock. "You...you actually did it! This is absolutely world-shaking news!"

Although he had received the news long ago, he hadn't dared to go. Now that it had come out of Rorschach's mouth, Morgans was like a rocket ready to launch at any moment.

"By the way, you silly bird, do you need any footage or something? Why don't you bring some people to the holy land to shoot it!"

"Anyway, everyone in the Holy Land is already dead."

"Only our people are having a banquet here."

Morgans was trembling with excitement and hurriedly ordered his men to prepare equipment and head to the sacred site for filming. Rorschach, on the other hand, returned to his corner to continue drinking.

The atmosphere at the banquet grew increasingly lively, with pirates, marines, and revolutionaries sharing their respective stories.

Time passed by unnoticed, and three days quickly went by.

Rorschach woke up inside the G5 branch's castle, with Gion tightly hugging his neck beside him.

Just as Luo Xia was about to go back to sleep, a rapid knocking sounded at the door.

A gruff voice came from outside, "Hey kid, brat, are you awake or not?"

"That old bastard from the Warring States period wants us to attend a meeting!"

Luo Xia scratched his head and replied lazily, "Old man, wait a minute, I'm getting up now!"

A few minutes later, Rorschach came out dressed casually, wearing a dark floral shirt, shorts, and flip-flops.

Although the clothes were casual, they gave Luo Xia a cool and roguish vibe.

Rorschach approached Garp and asked, "Old man, are we going to Marine Headquarters?"

"That's right, that bastard from the Warring States period said to hurry up, and you're the only one missing."

"Huh? The meeting can't go on without me?"

However, Rorschach didn't care about that. He put his hand on Garp and teleported him to Marine Headquarters.

The two were shocked by the number of people present as soon as they arrived.

At this moment, a huge set of tables and chairs was placed on the naval training ground, including a rectangular table and chair.

Besides the high-ranking officers of the Navy, there were also pirates who had fought alongside him a few days earlier.

People like Roger, Whitebeard, and Shanks are all there.

Luo Xia scratched his head and sat down lazily in the empty seat.

However, Luo Xia did not speak; instead, the spatial cube in his hand continued to grow larger.

Only after covering all two hundred-plus people did he ask, "Marshal, what do you want with me?"

"I haven't had enough sleep yet!"

"Also, with so many powerful pirates here, I reckon they could easily overturn the Marine Headquarters. Fleet Admiral, you're really fearless!"

Sengoku glared at Luo Xia, "You brat, speak properly to me."

Sengoku then continued, "Rorschach, you changed the entire pirate world's landscape a few days ago. Although the World Government has fallen, order still needs to be rebuilt. That's why we've invited all parties here."

Rorschach raised an eyebrow slightly, indicating his confusion.

Akainu continued, "Rorschach, as the first person to overthrow the World Government, you must have some insights, right?"

Rorschach crossed his arms, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I wouldn't call it insightful, but since we're going to rebuild order, we must first ensure a balance of interests among all parties. The pirates can no longer plunder at will, and the navy can't suppress them excessively."

Shanks smiled and said, "Rorschach is right. We pirates also hope for a relatively free but still regulated sea."

Whitebeard nodded: "Gurararara, that's true, but the rules have to be reasonable."

Roger also said, "That's right, we can't let innocent people suffer."

Looking at everyone, Zhan Guo said, "The specific rules and regulations need to be discussed together."

Immediately, everyone expressed their opinions, and the atmosphere of the meeting became lively.

Luo Xia said, "I think we can divide the sea into different areas and formulate corresponding rules based on the characteristics of each area. For example, restrictions can be appropriately relaxed in some dangerous sea areas, but there should still be certain constraints."

Akainu frowned: "Then how do we supervise it? That's not an easy task."

Rorschach smiled and said, "We can establish a special regulatory body, composed of pirates, the navy, and ordinary citizens."

At this moment, Sabo, a chief of staff of the revolutionary army, said: "We must also pay attention to the lives of the people at the bottom and solve the problems of poverty and injustice."

After much discussion, the group finally drafted some preliminary rules and regulations.

Zhan Guo said, "Alright, then let's implement these plans step by step, and I hope we can work together to build a new, peaceful world."

After the meeting, Luo Xia stretched and said, "This is really a tough task."

Shanks patted him on the shoulder: "But it's worth doing, isn't it?"

Luo Xia smiled and said, "That's right, then let's work together."

A new order was gradually established through everyone's efforts, and the pirate world ushered in a brand new era.

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Rorschach was lying on a deckchair in the G5 branch, with Gion and Garp beside him.

The group was leisurely enjoying their afternoon tea while sipping juice.

Just then, a newspaper gull dropped a newspaper, which landed squarely on Garp's face as he was sleeping.

"Hey, hey, hey, what...what is that?"

Garp ripped the newspaper off his face, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the contents.

"Hmm? This is..." Garp's voice caught the attention of Rorschach and Gion.

Rorschach leaned closer for a look, his face showing surprise: "Hey, isn't that Luffy? He's actually become the new Pirate King!"

Gion looked over curiously: "Really? That's wonderful!"

Because Gion often heard Rorschach and Garp talk about Luffy, Gion gradually learned about this interesting guy, Luffy.

Moreover, the current pirate world is well-ordered. The Marine Headquarters currently has three supreme commanders: Aokiji, Sabo, and another representative of the pirates, but none of the pirates are willing to come, so there are only two at present.

Under the new order, ordinary people were no longer subjected to burning, killing, and looting by pirates.

If you engage in arson, murder, and looting, the most notorious pirates in this sea will come to your door and kill you.

Therefore, the pirate world is currently very peaceful, which is one of the benefits of destroying the World Government.

Garp burst into laughter: "This kid's really got potential!"

Luo Xia said with a smile, "It seems that the pirates of the new era are all chasing their dreams."

At this moment, Gion said, "Rorschach, old man, should we go check on Luffy?"

"After all, you haven't seen him for three years."

Upon hearing Gion's words, Garp grinned and immediately stood up, laughing, "Hahahaha, kid, take me to find my grandson."

Rorschach nodded. "Okay! Let's go take a look."

"You two, grab me!"

The three of them quickly disappeared from the G5 branch!

And so...the story ends!
