Chapter 45 Encountering a Straw Hat in Loguetown
Time passed quickly, and with the help of Rorschach's drive device, Rorschach and the others soon arrived at the port of Loguetown.
As soon as he disembarked from the warship, Rorschach muttered to himself, "The town of beginnings and ends?"
……
Before he could finish recalling what had happened, a fist resembling a wisp of smoke suddenly attacked him.
Luo Xia dodged slightly to the side. When Luo Xia looked up, he saw a man with two cigars in his mouth and a weapon on his back looking at him provocatively.
"heavy smoker?"
"I didn't expect you to actually come to Loguetown. Did you come here to get beaten up?"
Rorschach curled his lip and pointed at Garp and Gion beside him, "You better watch your mouth, or I'll get Gion to beat you up!"
Smoker gave an awkward smile, then led the many marines from Loguetown to stand at attention and salute.
"Welcome Lieutenant General Garp, Lieutenant General Gion, and Brigadier General Rorschach!"
After the welcoming ceremony, Smoker led Rorschach and his two companions, along with the marines from Garp's ship, back to the Loguetown Naval Branch.
Upon arriving at the Navy branch, Rorschach casually asked, "Smoker, do you have any news about the Straw Hat Pirates?"
"Huh? You're not here to arrest that kid, are you?"
Rorschach glared at Smoker and said irritably, "No, I just came to see this guy, and I also want to test the strength of the swordsman on his ship!"
Smoker exhaled a smoke ring and then asked a female swordsman wearing glasses and a sword at her waist, "Tashigi, any news about the Straw Hat crew?"
"Huh? Oh, reporting to Colonel Smoker, the Straw Hat crew successfully landed in Loguetown this morning, and their current whereabouts are unknown."
"However, the Straw Hat Pirates are indeed in Loguetown!"
"Colonel, do you need me to lead men to capture the Straw Hat Pirates?"
Rorschach covered his mouth, his eyes full of laughter. He almost said, "How many of you dare to say that in front of Lieutenant General Garp?"
Are they all tired of living?
"No need, you may leave!"
Smoker then shrugged and gestured to Rorschach, "The Straw Hat Boy is on this island, want to go catch him?"
Rorschach nudged Garp, "Hey, old man, let's go!"
"I'm a little curious about this straw hat kid. Will you come with me?"
With the departure of the three, everyone at the Loguetown Naval Base began to get busy.
……
On the way, Garp, Gion, and Rorschach strolled along the streets of Loguetown.
The three men's goal was clear: the execution platform where Roger had been executed.
This was also proposed by Rorschach.
At that moment, a flash of light appeared in Rorschach's hand, and a green fruit appeared in his palm.
Upon seeing the Devil Fruit appear, Gion's eyes widened, and she hurriedly told Rorschach to put it away, "You rascal, why aren't you putting it away? What if someone else snatches it?"
Rorschach twirled the Devil Fruit and smiled slightly, "Only pirates would dare to steal it, right?"
"I'll catch them all!"
Rorschach glanced around and saw many people with fierce and greedy eyes staring intently at the Devil Fruit in his hand.
Rorschach has been taking it all the way and no pirate has dared to steal it, probably because of these two.
After wandering around for a while, the three of them finally arrived at the execution platform.
But at that moment, a bolt of lightning struck the execution platform.
The execution platform collapsed with a crash, and at that moment, a man wearing a straw hat, a red blouse, and blue shorts crawled out of the rubble.
His signature smile made Rorschach recognize him at a glance; it was none other than Straw Hat Luffy.
Behind him, charred and battered from the electric shocks while dressed in a clown costume, is none other than Bucky the Clown.
Rorschach patted Garp on the shoulder. "Old man, you won't beat me up if I arrest him, will you?"
"Hmph, this kind of unambitious pirate should be caught!"
"But you don't need to come, I'll do it myself!"
Before Rorschach could react, Garp slammed his feet into the ground and flew towards Straw Hat Boy.
The Straw Hat Boy, who was still running, noticed someone in the sky. When he looked up, he saw the person he least wanted to see in his life.
As soon as Garp landed, a cloud of smoke rose up, and the ground around him, where Vice Admiral Garp had stood, cracked into countless pieces.
Garp's lips curled up slightly as he looked up and met Luffy's gaze.
Nami, who was next to Luffy, panicked instantly. "Marine...Marine hero? Garp?"
Luffy's reaction was the funniest. He looked terrified, his eyes bulged out, and his jaw almost fell off.
"Grandpa...Grandpa? You...how did you get here?"
"Are you here to arrest me?"
"Hmph, I'm going to be the Pirate King! Even if you're my grandfather, I won't let you capture me!"
As Luffy spoke, he stretched out his arm, bound Nami's body, and started running.
Bound up, Nami asked, "Luffy, I've never seen you so scared before. What did you just say about being a Marine hero?"
"Nami, run! I...I can't beat my grandpa!"
"What? Your grandfather?"
"Yeah, that's right, I got beaten up every day when I was a kid!"
As Luffy ran further and further away, Rorschach couldn't help but look towards Gion.
Gion rolled his eyes, led Rorschach to Garp's side, and then grabbed Rorschach with one hand and Garp with the other.
In an instant, the three of them transformed into a pink ray of light and chased after Luffy in the direction he was running.
In just a few breaths, the three of them arrived in front of Luffy.
Luffy looked at the three people in front of him and for a moment didn't even know what to say!
"Hahaha, you little rascal, I finally caught you!"
Garp, wielding Armament Haki, punched Luffy squarely on the head, then grabbed him with both hands. "You brat, I wasn't trying to catch you. Why are you running?"
As the grandfather and granddaughter were catching up, Rorschach walked up to Nami with a swagger and said, "Nami, right? The navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates?"
"Please take us to the vicinity of your Going Merry!"
"By the way, you only have the option to agree, not refuse!"
Rorschach exuded a chilling aura, causing Nami to shiver. Perhaps it was because Rorschach's presence was too intimidating.
Nami, unable to resist, reluctantly led Rorschach and the others to the Going Merry's dock.
As soon as the two arrived at the Going Merry, Usopp and Zoro were stunned by the three people in front of them.
Zoro slowly walked forward, casually drawing his Wado Ichimonji sword and pointing it at Rorschach with a serious expression. "Navy? You're here to arrest us?"
Rorschach didn't explain Zoro's misunderstanding; instead, he looked at Zoro's shockingly green hair.
This prompted Rorschach to blurt out, "Green algae head?"
Then Rorschach looked at the fruit in his hand again, and it was a perfect match for his fruit!
"You bastard, who are you calling 'green algae head'?"
Zoro instantly exploded, drawing Sandai Kitetsu and Yubashiri.
