One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 238, Year 1485 of the Sea Calendar

Who wants to go?

As soon as Luo Xia finished speaking, the two women, Zhiyuan and Xuefeng, immediately stood up.

"I'm going!"

"Boss, boss, I want to go too!"

Luo Xia glanced at the two of them and then said, "Let's go to the Garden then. As for the Blood Phoenix, we can go another time!"

"I'm afraid the time machine might have some side effects."

At that moment, Garp patted Rorschach on the shoulder and asked, "Kid, are we going to the future?"

Luo Xia shook his head and laughed, "On the contrary, I want to go back to the past. After all, I said I wanted to go back to the past so I could maybe beat you up up close."

Upon hearing this, Garp's eyes widened, and he laughed and scolded, "You brat, you still want to hit this old man?"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Gion excitedly clenched her fist and asked, "When do we set off?"

Luo Xia looked at the futuristic and sleek time machine on the ground and said, "Let's do it now, but this is my first time using this, so it's not too late to back out!"

Before Zhiyuan could speak, Xuefeng called out, "Big Sister, why don't you not go? I'm afraid you'll run into danger. Let me do it for you!"

Originally, Gion was quite moved by the first part of Xuefeng's words, but now he felt no emotion at all.

"No way, wait until next time!" He waved his hand.

"Now that we're all ready, let's go!"

As Rorschach activated the time machine, a dazzling light shone around them, making it impossible for them to open their eyes.

A moment later, the light faded, and the time machine that had been there vanished without a trace.

Everyone found it amazing.

Smoker smiled. "Since they've gone back in time, they should be able to meet a young Lieutenant General Garp. I'd really like to see what it's like to see the two Lieutenant Generals Garp meet."

Hearing Smoker say that, even the usually expressionless Aokiji couldn't help but smile.

On the other side, Luo Xia and his group appeared in mid-air with a sudden dizziness, but Luo Xia felt something was strange about it.

All around was the ocean.

Thinking of this, Luo Xia's hands suddenly became incredibly cold, and he instantly released an ice pillar that froze the sea below.

Immediately afterwards, Rorschach safely returned the time machine to the space.

After all, this is the past (around 1485, the Battle of God Valley took place in 1486).

The three landed safely. Garp looked around at the sea of ​​white marines, then turned to Rorschach and asked, "Kid, is this the past?"

Rorschach nodded. "Yes, that's right!"

"As for the specific time, the time machine gives the year 1485 of the Sea Calendar."

Gion looked around curiously. "This place doesn't seem much different from usual."

Luo Xia shook his head, reached out and grabbed Gion's little hand, pointing to the protruding things not far away, "Those things are all sea kings that I froze."

"Luckily, I have the Ice-Ice Fruit, otherwise I would most likely have been eaten!"

At this moment, Garp urged, "Are there any pirates around here?"

Luo Xia scratched his head. "We'll have to look for this, since we just got here."

As he spoke, he released his Observation Haki to sense the surrounding situation. Not long after, Luo Xia's eyes lit up, "There's a ship in the southeast direction, but I don't know if it's a pirate."

Garp grinned and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go take a look."

“That’s right, old man. Except for your clothes, you’re exactly the same as you were when you were young.”

The three of them headed quickly southeast and soon spotted a ship, but it was different from what Luo Xia and the others had guessed.

This ship wasn't a pirate ship at all; it was actually a warship. Upon closer inspection, Rorschach noticed two men who were clearly admirals standing on it.

Judging from their appearances, they seem to be Garp and Sengoku.

Luo Xia's lips twitched, and he said speechlessly, "What a coincidence!"

But on second thought, isn't this a great opportunity?

Rorschach turned to the two of them, grinning mischievously, and said, "Don't you want to play a prank?"

Gion's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked, "What do you mean? What kind of prank are you playing?"

Rorschach pointed to the warship still in the distance, "Those are young Garp and Sengoku on board."

The two nodded.

"I'm going to fight them. You two stay here for now."

Gion hurriedly grabbed Rorschach, worriedly saying, "You can't even beat Vice Admiral Garp now. You're not going up there to fight, are you? You're going up there to get beaten up, aren't you?"

Rorschach's face darkened, and he said speechlessly, "Go away, how could I possibly be unable to beat even a young old man like Garp?"

Garp chimed in, "Let this kid give it a try. I also want to see how amazing I was when I was young."

Gion asked with concern, "If you can't beat them, just run away, okay?"

"You've come to Vice Admiral Garp's side; at least Vice Admiral Garp is stronger than you right now!"

Luo Xia gently patted Zhiyuan's head and smiled tenderly, "Alright, I know. I won't go looking into it. I still want to see the little Zhiyuan of this era!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Luo Xia flashed and instantly appeared on the warship.

The young Garp and Sengoku immediately became alert upon seeing Rorschach's sudden appearance, their eyes filled with sharp gazes.

Rorschach said with a grin, "Old man Garp, how about you spar with me for a bit?"

Young Garp frowned. "Who are you? Why do you want to spar with me?"

"And you froze this sea area?"

When Garp asked him a question, Rorschach ignored him and threw a punch, saying, "Let's fight first!"

The young Garp dodged to the side and retaliated with a backhand punch, his speed astonishing.

Rorschach was startled; the young Garp was indeed formidable. But he wasn't about to be outdone, so he used his Devil Fruit ability to conjure ice beneath his feet and slide towards Garp.

Sengoku was about to help when he suddenly heard Garp's voice, "Wait, this kid is interesting. I'm going to fight him!"

The two were engaged in a brutal, hand-to-hand combat on the sea, which gave Garp a great sense of satisfaction. However, Rorschach's strength was not his fists!

Rorschach swallowed hard, activated his spatial abilities, and with the help of his Devil Fruit powers, he instantly disappeared from Garp's sight. While Garp was stunned, Rorschach punched him in the stomach.

Garp winced in pain, but then burst into laughter, "Kid, you've got some skills!"

Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he sent Rorschach flying several meters away.

After regaining his footing, Rorschach wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Damn! How can young Garp be so strong?"

As the two fought more and more fiercely, the marines standing on the warship were all dumbfounded, especially Sengoku.

It should be noted that Sengoku is not senile yet; his insight is incredibly sharp. However, what puzzled Sengoku was the cloak of justice behind Luo Xia.

"Could he be a navy officer?"

"But in the Navy, is there anyone so young who can fight Garp to this extent?"

"Just who is this kid?"

However, in the middle of the fight, Rorschach suddenly stopped, leaving Garp on the other side completely bewildered.

Rorschach laughed and said, "Let's stop here for now, I need to rest for a bit!"

After saying that, he ignored Garp and sat down on the ice.
