Bab 165: Chapter 165: The Tiger Cub of the Vice Admiral.
Bang, bang, bang!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, stop hitting! Don't hit my face—"
"Don't think I'm afraid of you, old man! Stop, stop~~~"
The tall Marine who broke through the wall started with a flurry of punches, beating the Straw Hat crew's captain like a grandson, leaving him crawling on the ground. Everyone was stunned and instinctively wanted to step forward to help.
"Don't panic,"
Roman waved his hand.
"This is Marine hero Vice Admiral Garp..."
!?
Don't panic? Roman, did you forget we're pirates—"His full name is Monkey D. Garp."
??
"He's Luffy's grandfather." Roman then seriously bowed to the other party, "Hello, Vice Admiral Garp."
This tall old man, whether in strength or character, deserved Roman's respect. However:
"Why is there such a serious guy on your ship? So boring~~"
"Hehehe, Roman is a very reliable companion..."
Just a moment ago, the old and the young were wrestling, now they were whispering loudly.
..."As you can see," Roman turned to introduce to the others, "their personalities show they're family."
"Mm, mm, mm, we can see that."
Everyone nodded frantically—because behind Roman.
Luffy: .zZzzz.....Garp: .zZzzz....."This standing sleeping posture is actually a 'natural breathing' state that reduces consumption and can even speed up wound healing..."
"Why does this little guy on your ship have to explain everything? So boring~~"
"Hehehe, that's just how Roman is, don't mind him..."
In short, knowing that the other party was Luffy's grandfather and seeing Roman's expression, it was clear he was not an 'enemy'. So:"By the way, Luffy."
Garp pointed at Zoro.
"And you, 'Pirate Hunter', there are two 'old friends' outside who want to see you."
After speaking, the tall and energetic old man sat down familiarly and pointed at Roman.
"Kid, come chat with this old man."
"Okay."
When Roman sat down, Vice Admiral Garp immediately started asking questions like 'how old are you', 'where do you live', 'do you have any family', leaving Roman confused.
Shouldn't we be talking about 'Marine justice', 'the damage pirates do to the world', 'how to bring happiness to more people'...Oh well, it's just chatting with an old man.
Roman still had the patience for that.
---Meanwhile, outside:
---
"What, you're Coby?!"
Luffy was stunned. How long had it been? The chubby, timid Coby who was less than 1.4 meters tall was now as tall as Luffy, and he had a confident smile on his face.
Is Marine food really that good?
"And I am Helmeppo."
Facing the proud self-introduction of the Marine with twin dog-leg knives, Zoro looked confused.
"Who are you?"
"I'm the one who tied you up and almost dried you out! Helmeppo, the idiot son of Axe-Hand Morgan! Think back carefully..."
Zoro, Luffy: ???
"Damn it, you still haven't forgiven me?"
...
"In any case, we've also reached the Grand Line. Only here did we realize how vast the world is!"
Coby reminisced about the days when the three of them were drifting on the sea in East Blue. "I... I will become a Marine Admiral one day!"
"Yeah,"
Facing his old friend from East Blue, Luffy nodded seriously.
"If you want to fight me, of course, you'll become an Admiral!"
..."That guy Luffy,"
Garp glanced at his grandson chatting happily with Coby outside, then turned to Roman.
"My foolish grandson has caused you trouble, and you've taken good care of him along the way."
"Not at all,"
Roman shook his head with a smile.
"If it weren't for Luffy, who knows what I'd be doing in East Blue right now. —He helped me instead!"
"Originally, I came today to tell Luffy about the New World. But,"
The tall old man took a sip of tea from the table.
"With you here, it seems there's no need to say anything."
"Well, no matter how terrifying you make the Four Emperors sound, Luffy won't take it to heart. —Otherwise, we wouldn't have clashed with the Seven Warlords of the Sea as soon as we entered the Grand Line."
"Hahaha, it seems you understand that little brat Luffy's temperament well~~"
---"You're my grandson, so I won't arrest you!"
In front of a group of people, Vice Admiral Garp demonstrated what it means to 'bend the law for personal gain.'
"I've already made up an excuse, so you can stay here at ease."
After all, they had just stormed Enies Lobby and slapped the World Government in the face. The reason Garp rushed over was to prevent the government from losing face and sending CP0 to deal with the Straw Hat crew.
With this old man around, what assassin in the world would dare to act under his nose?
Taste the strongest fist that can split mountains and seas!
"Roman,"
Coby approached Roman, "Regarding the justice you once spoke of, I've thought about it a lot—"
"Stop!"
Roman raised his hand to stop him, leaving the young Marine Captain stunned.
"I was a bit emotional at the time, and what I said was probably quite extreme. You don't need to take it to heart."
Roman looked seriously at the young man in front of him, who no longer had the chubby, timid, and cowardly appearance of the past. Indeed, the military is the best place to temper one's mind—whether you're a dragon or a worm, you'll find out after rolling around in the military.
"You just need to hold on to your own 'justice'. Because:"
"In the hearts of ten thousand people, there are ten thousand kinds of 'justice'."
..."Thank you, Roman."
Coby stood at attention and saluted Roman.
"Thank me for what..."
"Of course, for still considering me a friend!"
A friend?
As everyone dispersed, Roman found an excuse to go to the seaside of Water 7 alone.
Rustle~~~
Sheets of white paper flew out, forming a white fighter jet.
"Go,"
As Roman's control over his 'power' grew stronger, even in the ever-changing seas of the Grand Line, this 'unmanned' fighter jet could fly very far. — Enough for Roman to conduct cross-island operations!
"Sorry, but Luffy is my captain."
Until the new ship is built, let Vice Admiral Garp act as the Straw Hat crew's 'bodyguard' for a while.
————————Sitting in a wheelchair with a swollen face, Spandam barged into the Marine Fleet Admiral's office.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku was chatting with Commander-in-Chief Kong. When he looked up, he was shocked! He quickly waved.
Sengoku: "Spandam, hello, hello, hello. Is there something we can help you with?"
"What I want to say..." Spandam wheeled himself to the Fleet Admiral's desk and swallowed, "Don't be afraid!"
Sengoku and Kong exchanged a glance: "We are Marines, we won't be afraid, please go ahead."
"I just issued a Buster Call!"
Sengoku: Solemn respect.
Kong: Tactical lean back.
"This, Buster Call... which one?"
"Not which one, it's a military force powerful enough to destroy a nation!"
Sengoku quickly sketched and showed it to him. — Big Mom and Kaido's combined technique.
"Ah, not people, but people and ships."
Sengoku quickly sketched again, — Enel and the Ark Maxim.
"Not Sky Islanders, thank you."
Sengoku quickly sketched again, — Douglas Bullet.
"The ship?"
Sengoku quickly sketched again, — Bullet's 'large bullet' form.
"This???"
Kong stopped Sengoku and took the pen, quickly sketching.
Blackbeard standing on a 'giant warship'.
"People and ships."
Smack!
Spandam slapped the drawing away and angrily shouted.
"Buster Call!! Are you still Marines? It's the Buster Call used by the World Government to completely clear an area of everything and everyone, understand?!"
Sengoku: "Understood, please continue."
"The Straw Hat crew crazily provoked me, saying I was stubborn, who doesn't know that?"
"Then they wanted to beat me up, right there at Enies Lobby, several ability users and robots charged at me!"
"When I saw things were going wrong, I picked up the golden Den Den Mushi and immediately issued a Buster Call! But I still got beaten up like this, I was like a..."
Sengoku: Pfft!
?
Kong: Hehehe—Spandam: "What are you laughing at?"
Sengoku: "I remembered something happy."
Spandam: "What?"
Sengoku: "I issued a Buster Call."
??
"And you?"
Kong: "I also issued a Buster Call."
Spandam: "Did you both... issue the same Buster Call?"
Sengoku: "Yes, yes,"
???
Holding back laughter,"Ah, no, I issued the one for Ohara, he issued the one for Barrett."
Expression management,
"Hey!" Spandam angrily slammed the table, "I'll say it again, I'm not joking!"
Hehehe—"Yes, yes,"
"Hey!!!"
"Ahem," Kong coughed tactically, "Let's get back on track. So, this Buster Call you mentioned—how powerful is it?"
"It's not about how powerful it is!" Spandam waved his hand, "It's really one of those... those rare ones... with a very loud name, just hearing it can scare people to death, very domineering..... Unfortunately, the cannons missed that day, and not a single Straw Hat member died..."
Pfft—Sengoku couldn't hold it in anymore.
"You've gone too far, I've tolerated you for a long time!"
"I issued a Buster Call."
"You're clearly laughing at me, you haven't stopped!"
"Spandam, we've undergone rigorous training, no matter how funny it is, we won't laugh... unless we can't help it."
"How about this, Spandam," Kong took over the conversation, "You go back and wait for news, we'll investigate this Buster Call issue, and notify you as soon as there's progress."
"Fine, you investigate quickly!" Spandam wheeled himself out, "I suspect the shipyard is taking kickbacks."
As soon as he left, uproarious laughter erupted behind him!
Hahahaha—He suddenly turned and pushed the door open, only to see Sengoku and Kong with serious faces.
"Spandam, do you have anything else to add?"
He left again, and more laughter erupted behind him!
Hahahaha—
He turned suddenly again, and still saw Sengoku and Kong with serious faces, along with Garp eating senbei.
Crunch, crunch, crunch,"Spandam?"
Amid Garp's chewing, Spandam angrily slammed the door and left.
