One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 20 The Ecstatic Warring States Period

"Hmm? The Warring States Marshal!"

As soon as Luo Xia finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and suddenly stood up. "Ahem, Marshal Sengoku, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and Admiral Aokiji, greetings!"

"It's alright, it's alright, Rorschach, don't be nervous!"

After comforting Luo Xia and Zhanguo, he looked around the villa and indeed found more than a dozen sacks inside.

"Rorschach, the sacks in this house...could they be..."

Rorschach nodded. "The sack contains the rice crackers I gave to Grandpa Garp."

Although Rorschach spoke casually, Sengoku clenched his fist.

"By the way, Luo Xia, what are those ice crystals on your face?" Sengoku asked, pointing to half of Luo Xia's face.

He still remembers the important matters of the Warring States period very clearly.

Luo Xia paused for a moment, then subconsciously touched his left cheek. When he placed his hand on his left cheek, he felt as if his hand was rubbing against ice.

"Oh, this? I don't know either, it's been here since the beginning!"

"And Admiral Aokiji even said I have the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit!"

Sengoku stared intently at Luo Xia, as if trying to discern something.

"Do you have the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit?"

As soon as Sengoku uttered those words, Aokiji and Tsuru fixed their gazes on Rorschach, while Gion and Garp had already witnessed it before.

Even just now, Rorschach froze Garp twice in protest against Garp's refusal to make senbei, and the result was predictable: Garp broke the freeze the moment he froze him.

"I guess so!" Luo Xia recalled what he had told the system before.

"How do you prove it?" Sengoku stared intently at Luo Xia. He was determined to figure this out, so he couldn't afford to make a mistake. This represented the future top-tier combat power!

After looking around, Rorschach stopped on Garp, who was eating senbei. Without saying a word, Rorschach walked up to Garp and slapped him with his palm.

In an instant, a layer of ice formed on Garp's body, freezing him completely.

However, the ice block didn't stay frozen for long before Garp cracked it.

The three who witnessed this scene were all shocked and their jaws dropped. Aokiji remained calm, after all, he had just seen it, but Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru were quite different.

In particular, Sengoku couldn't hide the smile on his face, and his gaze toward Luo Xia was full of affection, as if Luo Xia were a priceless treasure.

Luo Xia shuddered at that gaze.

Perhaps noticing Luo Xia's expression, Sengoku also looked away.

The group then sat down on the sofa, and Sengoku grabbed a sack and started munching on senbei (rice crackers).

While eating, he asked, "Did you just acquire this ability, Rorschach?"

"That's right, it was there just now when I was helping Gion-nee synthesize one of the sword's attributes!"

The best explanation right now is that Rorschach answered whatever they asked, otherwise he wouldn't have any excuse to say anything.

After some basic questioning, Sengoku finally left with five sacks of senbei, satisfied, along with Tsuru and Aokiji.

As for Garp, he was secretly cursing Sengoku.

"Damn Sengoku! I only have less than ten sacks of senbei left, which isn't even enough for me for a month!"

Luo Xia sat with Zhiyuan, and he was now extremely flustered, fearing that Luo Xia would arrest him and continue making senbei.

However, after making a few complaints, Garp walked in the direction Sengoku had gone, saying before leaving that he was going to get something back.

"Ah, that old geezer is finally gone, I can finally go home!"

Just as Luo Xia was about to get up, a small, cold hand grabbed him. Luo Xia turned his head and saw that Zhiyuan was holding his hand.

"Huh? Sister Gion, what are you doing?"

"Didn't we agree that I would teach you? Do you still want to go back and rest?"

Luo Xia's forehead instantly creased with black lines as he said speechlessly, "That still depends on that purple-haired... ugh, Professor Zephyr giving me time!"

"Haha, don't worry, I'll help you get leave from Instructor Zefa. Besides, the training camp has only just started. Even if you haven't learned anything yet, it's okay, I'll teach you everything!"

Luo Xia looked Zhiyuan up and down and nodded, "You... alright!"

"What do you mean?"

"No, no, actually I'm considered one of the better ones at the training camp. Teacher Zephyr is only teaching up to the Six Styles of the Navy now!"

Gion nodded and smiled, "Naval Six Styles? Is it difficult? Do you want your older sister to teach you?"

"Just call me 'sister' and I'll listen!"

"By the way, usually they teach you how to shave first, is it difficult?"

Rorschach pouted, "I've already learned how to shave. Although I sometimes bump into poles, it seems like I have a knack for it!"

"Oh? Really?"

This surprised Gion somewhat, considering that she had studied it for more than ten days.

"Otherwise what!"

Rorschach immediately began to prove himself. The next second, Rorschach appeared behind Gion. However, whether it was due to the slippery ground or something else, Rorschach suddenly pounced on Gion's back, with his hands still on Gion's back.

Luo Xia awkwardly distanced himself from the garden, "Ahem, I'm just not familiar with it yet, it's only the first day!"

The atmosphere between Luo Xia and Gion was completely different on the Sengoku side.

Inside the Sengoku office, Sengoku waited for more than ten minutes until everyone finally arrived.

Besides the three admirals, Garp, Zephyr, and Tsuru were also present. They had all gathered here for Rorschach, but of course, they were unaware of what had just happened.

At this moment, everyone remained silent, simply watching Sengoku and waiting for him to speak.

"Ahem, I've called you all here today because there's something important I need to tell you!"

Sengoku then looked around and slowly said, "Our navy has produced another Logia-type Devil Fruit user!"

"And she's a Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit user!"

In an instant, apart from a few people who knew the situation and remained calm, everyone else present stood up.

In particular, Akainu immediately questioned, "Isn't the Ice-Ice Fruit Aokiji's?"

"How come another one has appeared?"

Is he getting senile?

Of course, Akainu wouldn't dare say the last sentence.

Zefa also stared at Sengoku with curiosity. Having worked with Sengoku for so many years, he naturally knew that Sengoku wouldn't talk nonsense, otherwise it would damage his reputation as a strategist.

Sengoku smiled slightly, and it was clear from his expression that he was very satisfied with the performance of these people.

"Aokiji does indeed possess the Ice-Ice Fruit ability. At the same time, our Navy has also discovered a second person with the Ice-Ice Fruit ability, and it was actually witnessed by several of us personally."

Lieutenant General Tsuru and Aokiji nodded in unison, saying, "Marshal Sengoku is right!"

These words left everyone even more bewildered, and the same thought popped into their minds: "How can there be two of the same kind of fruit?"

"Unless the Devil Fruit user is dead!"

However, this idea quickly faded from everyone's minds.
