One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 191 Calling Smoker

Luo Xia stared at the heart in his hand for a long time without saying a word, as if he was recalling something.

With a grin, Luo Xia said, "Whose is it? Just pinch it and you'll know!"

The next second, Luo Xia exerted force in his hand, his entire large hand squeezing his heart.

However, after an unknown amount of time, no one appeared and not even a scream was heard.

Luo Xia curled his lip, snapped his fingers, and the heart instantly disappeared from his hand.

Since no one has claimed it, I'll just keep it for now.

However, Luo Xia had no idea that somewhere on the first floor, Luo was in excruciating pain.

Luo lay on the ground, panting heavily, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, his heart filled with even more resentment towards Monet.

"Damn woman, I'll definitely get rid of you sometime."

"You've been squeezing my heart like that."

The staff member following behind Luo asked with concern, "Lord Luo, are you alright?"

"I'm...I'm fine, I won't die!"

at the same time.

Luo Xia put the heart into his spatial storage. As soon as he looked up, he saw more than twenty pairs of eyes, large and small, staring at him.

The person in protective gear who was administering the injections noticed Luo Xia staring at them and instinctively took a few steps back.

Luo Xia remained expressionless, extending his finger to beckon to the men, "Come here."

The men, trembling, pushed and shoved each other as they moved forward.

Luo Xia frowned slightly and said impatiently, "Hurry up!" Only then did they speed up and walk up to Luo Xia.

Luo Xia glanced around at everyone and then asked, "What's going on with these children? Why are there older and younger ones?"

"It's not the size of a normal child at all."

One of the bolder men said in a trembling voice, "Lord Rorschach, these children are experimental subjects of Lord Caesar's experiments on giantification. They have been modified with various drugs, which is why their sizes are so different."

Luo Xia's eyes turned cold. "Who gave you permission to do this?" The men were so frightened that they all knelt down and begged for mercy.

Just then, a little girl suddenly stood up. Her eyes were red but showed a stubbornness. "Big brother, we want to go home."

Rorschach was taken aback, then turned to Garp and asked, "Old man, what do we do?"

Karp sighed. "Let Smoker sail over first."

"This Caesar is really asking for trouble."

Garp's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and his expression was very serious.

Rorschach patted Garp on the shoulder. "Old man, we don't need to capture Caesar."

"Luffy is fine, and Caesar is also an important tool of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors."

"It would be much more effective for Luffy to catch it than for me to catch it."

At the same time, a mysterious smile appeared on Rorschach's lips.

Garp scoffed, "Fine, I hope my good-for-nothing grandson has that kind of ability."

After the two finished discussing, Luo Xia turned to the group of children in front of him and smiled, "Children, don't worry, just wait a little longer and someone will come to rescue you."

"Could you please wait a little longer?"

After hearing Luo Xia's words, the children's eyes still held fear, but also a hint of expectation.

"it is good!"

Hearing the children agree, Rorschach turned fiercely to the few who were already weak in the knees and said, "You know the Straw Hat Pirates, right?"

The group recalled running for a while and then nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know."

“Very well, if they try to take these children away and you dare to stop them, I will skin you alive without guaranteeing you'll die from the pain.”

Upon hearing this, the men in protective suits shivered, a chill running down their spines.

After issuing a warning, Rorschach and Garp continued toward their destination.

As soon as the two left, the staff members collapsed to the ground, looking as if they had been pulled out of the water.

"Sister, do you think those people can really rescue us?"

The little girl nodded firmly: "Yes, the big brother looks very capable. The person he's talking about must be able to do it."

the other side.

Rorschach and Karp sat on the ground somewhere in the research institute.

Rorschach took out his personal Den Den Mushi (snail phone) to talk to Smoker.

“Brubrubrubru”.

The call was quickly answered, and Smoker's deep voice came through, "Rorschach, what's up?"

Rorschach cleared his throat and said, "Want to come to Punk Hazard for some fun?"

"Huh? Are you bored? I still have to train these bastards!"

"I'm hanging up now, that's all!" Smoker said, about to hang up.

Krosha stopped him, saying, "Don't hang up. I need you to come over by boat for something."

Smoker was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone. "What could be so important that I would make a special trip for it?"

Rorschach then briefly explained the situation regarding the children's experimental subjects.

Smoker snorted, "Then I won't bring the garden. I'll take some people and head over right away."

"Sure, but you look even more like a pirate than a pirate himself. I advise you to bring Tashigi with you, otherwise you might scare the children."

Smoker glared and cursed, "You bastard, you just wait!"

As soon as Smoker hung up the phone, Rorschach and Karp had to head towards the place they sensed.

After an unknown amount of time, the two arrived at a dark and secluded place.

There was no light at all, and Rorschach could only use his ability to illuminate the darkness. Fortunately, both of them possessed Observation Haki, which allowed them to walk through the darkness.

Garp scratched his head, speechless, and said, "You brat, what are you looking for?"

"Could there be someone else here?"

Just as Luo Xia was about to reply, he vanished in an instant, reappearing with a child in his hand.

The child struggled in Luo Xia's grasp, shouting, "Help! Who are you?"

Garp was getting a headache from the child's screaming and yelling. "Is this what you wanted to catch?"

Rorschach nodded.

"That's right, let's go out first. I won't get anything out of you here."

However, Momonosuke, whom Rorschach was carrying, was anything but well-behaved.

Luo Xia stopped abruptly, his eyes gradually turning cold.

Luo Xia grabbed Momonosuke and coldly said, "If you make any more noise or dare to shout, I will skin you alive without guaranteeing your death."

"Did you understand, Momonosuke?"

Momonosuke, whose eyes still had tears in them, suddenly held his breath and froze.

A huge wave of emotion surged within him. "He...he knows my name?"

Who exactly is he?

Why are you arresting me?
