One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 222 One Night

Smoker and Kuzan rolled their eyes at Rorschach, thinking to themselves, "What good is your personal guarantee?"

Rorschach ignored them and instead said, "Aren't you going to test your abilities?"

"After all, you ate my latest fusion fruit, which combines lightning and ice."

Seeing this, the two stopped talking and instead focused on sensing the power within their bodies.

Shortly after, Smoker opened his eyes and tentatively threw a punch. Lightning crackled on his fist, and wisps of cold air surrounded it. The air seemed to freeze wherever it passed.

"This power is indeed much stronger!" Smoker's eyes flashed with surprise.

Kuzan also unleashed his power, and a longsword formed from ice and lightning appeared in his hand, radiating a terrifying pressure.

“Indeed, the fusion effect of this fruit far exceeds expectations,” Kuzan said.

Rorschach nodded in satisfaction. Although he really wanted to test their Devil Fruit abilities, he could have given it a shot if it were Kuzan or Smoker.

But right now, it's really hard to say!

Rorschach waved his hand casually and said with a grin, "As for the remaining abilities of the fruit, you can explore them yourselves."

The two nodded, though they didn't show it on their faces, they were very happy inside.

At this moment, Blood Phoenix, who had been silent all along, came up to Luo Xia and asked, "Boss, what are you going to do with this last one?"

Luo Xia glanced at the Blood Phoenix, then at the remaining fusion fruit, stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, and said, "You want to eat it?"

Blood Phoenix shook her head. "I won't eat it. My Devil Fruit power is too strong!"

"I was just a little curious!"

"Oh, I see! That works too, since I haven't decided on this particular fruit yet!"

As time passed, that evening, Rorschach lay in his room, holding the fruit the marines had just brought him.

Exhausted by the events of the day, Rorschach drifted off to sleep.

However, just because he's asleep doesn't mean everyone else is asleep.

At that moment, a woman dressed in thin clothing stealthily pushed open the door to Luo Xia's room.

The woman locked the door as soon as she entered.

Then he took small, careful steps and approached Rorschach.

Before she could even laugh out loud, Luo Xia's eyes snapped open, and the Shura sword in his hand was already drawn, its tip pointing directly at the woman in front of him.

But when he saw the woman's face, Rorschach's lips twitched.

"Zhi...Zhiyuan? How is it you?"

Gion scoffed, "Why can't it be me?"

Luo Xia reluctantly put down the knife: "What are you doing in my room in the middle of the night? And why are you acting so suspiciously?"

As he spoke, Luo Xia looked Zhiyuan up and down, "You... no, are you sick?"

Zhiyuan rolled her eyes at him: "You're the one who's sick, you're seriously sick."

Luo Xia said speechlessly, "What I mean is, why are you dressed so scantily?"

"And they even came to my room!"

"You've come to the wrong room, haven't you?"

Gion's pretty face flushed slightly. "Enough nonsense. I came because of the conditions you promised me this morning."

Luo Xia rolled his eyes. "You didn't say anything during the day, but came here at night. You really know how to pick your time."

Gion bit her lip. "There are too many people during the day, so I'm too embarrassed to speak up."

Luo Xia leaned against the headboard. "You can't just come dressed like this in the middle of the night."

Gion snorted, "I was just afraid you'd agree, so I wanted to be a little coquettish with you."

Luo Xia's face darkened. "Acting cute? This isn't acting cute, it's clearly scaring people."

Gion glared at Luo Xia, "So, are you going to agree or not?"

Luo Xia looked around the garden again and slowly asked, "What do you want? As long as it's not too outrageous, I can agree to anything!"

"Don't tell me to just take Big Mom's or Kaido's head off."

"Hmph, who would send you to fetch something like that?"

"Then what do you want?" Luo Xia asked, puzzled.

As Gion took a step closer, Rorschach's eyes nearly popped out at the sight of her ample bosom.

Luo Xia's little actions were all seen by Zhiyuan, and she secretly chuckled to herself.

Gion came to Luo Xia's bedside and looked at him with a smile, saying, "Then I'll have to say it!"

Luo Xia waved his hand, "Hurry up and say it, then get lost!"

Gion didn't care about that, and instead said, "I want you!"

"What's the matter?"

Fearing he might have misheard, Rorschach even picked at his ear and brought it close to Gion's side.

With a slight smile, Gion said in a soft, fragrant breath, "I want you!"

Did you hear that?

Luo Xia suddenly shrank back, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Gion crossed her arms and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, I just want you."

Luo Xia looked shocked. "You must be joking, how could this be?"

Gion said with a serious expression, "I'm not joking, I'm serious."

Luo Xia stammered, "But...but why?"

Gion scoffed, "Because you're capable, charming, strong, and handsome, is that not allowed?"

Luo Xia blushed. "Although what you said is true, the way you're praising me..."

Gion interrupted him, "What, you don't want to?"

Luo Xia scratched his head. "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that this is too unexpected."

At this moment, Luo Xia showed no trace of indifference to the enemy's life, nor did he display the domineering aura he had in battle; all that remained was the shyness unique to a little boy.

After all, he had been in this pirate world for so many days, and he hadn't had any close contact with any woman.

Seeing Luo Xia stunned, Gion immediately slapped Luo Xia's thigh, saying, "Luo Xia, what are you staring at?"

Tell me now!

Luo Xia swallowed hard, his energy surging in his hands, and he immediately turned off the lights that were still on in the room.

Luo Xia coughed twice. "The answer is obvious!"

[Ten thousand words omitted here.]

Time passed little by little, and soon it was noon on the second day.

As Rorschach and Gion walked out of the villa together, everyone outside, from the marines in training to Garp and the others, turned their gazes toward Gion and Rorschach with surprise and curiosity.

Garp stepped forward, chuckling as he teased, "What were you two doing last night, little guys?"

Rorschach scratched his head awkwardly, while Gion blushed and scolded, "Vice Admiral Garp, please stop teasing us."

Smoker and Kuzan exchanged a glance, a hint of mockery in their eyes.

Blood Phoenix sidled up to Luo Xia and whispered, "Boss, you're amazing!"

Luo Xia glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, or I'll beat you up!"

Although Luo Xia wanted to defend himself by saying that he had agreed to Gion's condition yesterday, it would be a bit underhanded, so he decided to let things take their course.

Having figured this out, Rorschach smiled again.
