One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 166 Luffy Wants to Fight—

ten minutes later……

Inside the spatial wall, Luffy and Ace sat cross-legged. Although Luffy was still twitching, it was much better than before.

"Well... now that you've been resurrected, Ace, how about you join my pirate crew?"

Luffy's eyes lit up at the mention of this, and he couldn't help but imagine the scene of Ace calling him captain.

boom-

Just as Luffy was lost in his daydream, a heavy blow jolted him awake.

"It hurts so much! Who is it?"

Luffy looked up and saw a man in a navy coat standing in front of him, staring at him with a wicked smile on his lips.

The one who just hit Luffy was also Rorschach.

"Don't even think about Ace joining your Straw Hat Pirates, you naive fool."

"Besides, you can't even protect yourself right now, yet you want Ace to join you."

Rorschach pointed to Ace, who was sitting opposite Luffy, and said, "Ace is now the chief henchman of my Navy's G5 branch."

"You could say he's the third person after me."

Faced with Rorschach's words, Luffy's stubbornness flared up immediately.

He suddenly stood up and shouted, "Ace is going to join my pirate crew!"

"Then you'd better give up that idea as soon as possible. This time, Fleet Admiral Sengoku has sent me to capture your Straw Hat crew."

"I'm letting you off the hook because I'm in a good mood. You guys should be grateful," Rorschach said mercifully.

"So what? I've trained hard for two years, I can definitely defeat you!"

Rorschach pursed his lips, ignoring Luffy, and instead looked at Ace, who was watching the show from the side.

Ace immediately understood and said to Luffy, "Luffy, I am now a Marine, and the Azure Dragon has also done me a favor, so I cannot agree."

Luo Xia sat on the ground, listening silently to their conversation.

Luo Xia himself was also somewhat surprised. He had thought that Luffy was just a dull and silly guy, but he didn't expect that this guy would actually fight him.

This isn't to say Luffy is weak; on the contrary, Rorschach finds Luffy very interesting.

"After all, this guy spent two years cultivating on Ruscaina Island, and his overall condition is extremely weak."

"As for me, I got to where I am today thanks to the strength I received as a reward from the system."

"Don't even mention Luffy, I wouldn't be afraid even if you added Akainu and Rorschach together!"

That's how arrogant people can be when they have a system!

Ace had also made things very clear to Luffy.

As soon as Rorschach opened his eyes, he asked Ace, "Have you calmed this idiot down yet?"

"You've persuaded him, boss, but he has one request."

There was still a hint of helplessness in Ace's eyes.

Before Ace could speak, Luffy shouted, "I want to fight you!"

"Oh? A fight? That's certainly possible!"

Upon hearing Rorschach's agreement, Luffy's face lit up with joy. "Alright, it's settled then!"

Luffy couldn't hide his excitement and didn't care at all about his fate.

"Now that you've all seen it, we should head out. Ace, put your mask back on!"

Luo Xia glared at Luffy again, still worried, and said irritably, "Remember, Ace is now called Kenshin, don't get it wrong, kid."

"If you dare to call me by the wrong name, I'll beat you up later!"

"Hahahaha, don't worry, Ai... Kenshin!"

A minute later, Ace finally regained his original face. "Alright, boss."

"Seriously, don't you ever look in the mirror?"

"I've been wearing it for two years, and it still takes this long to see a face," Luo Xia complained.

Although Ace was criticized, he couldn't hide the sunny smile on his face, which was probably because of Luffy.

Luo Xia snapped his fingers casually, and in the blink of an eye, the spatial barrier that had been shielding the three of them shattered into dust like glass and fell to the ground.

When the people outside saw the three of them come out, they all looked at them.

The Straw Hat crew looked on with concern, and all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Luffy was alright.

However, one of the Straw Hat crew members was very observant.

"Are those tear stains?" Rorschach wondered to himself as he looked at Luffy.

Luffy quickly returned to the Straw Hat crew, and Rorschach and Ace also leisurely walked back to Garp's side.

"Have you introduced him to anyone?"

"Hmm, the performance was pretty much as I expected!"

Garp and Luffy's conversation left Gion completely bewildered.

Gion asked, puzzled, "Mr. Garp, Rorschach, what kind of riddle are you two playing?"

What are you two talking about?

Luo Xia ignored him and instead flipped his hands, producing two cups of tea.

Rorschach handed one of the glasses to Cap.

Garp had just taken a sip when he heard Luffy shout, "Ace..."

Upon hearing those two words, both Karp and Rorschach spat out the tea they were drinking.

Luo Xia's face was ashen, and he looked like he was about to kill someone.

"Ahem, I misspoke, it should be called Azure Dragon!"

Because he lied, Luffy broke out in a cold sweat.

"Azure Dragon, fight me!"

"I don't know if I can beat you, but I have to defeat you if I want to become the Pirate King!" Luffy said with great seriousness, his eyes shining brightly.

Rayleigh, who was standing nearby, immediately remembered the name Luffy mentioned.

He felt that Luffy was definitely not that simple in that hemispherical space.

And when she came out, her face was beaming with happiness.

During his six months on Ruskaina Island, he had never seen Luffy smile like that.

Rayleigh's gaze couldn't help but drift to Rorschach's side, and when he saw an extremely handsome Kenshin, the suspicion in Rayleigh's eyes deepened.

And Ace and Rayleigh inadvertently exchanged a glance.

That one glance was all it took for Rayleigh to see the light.

Rayleigh's lips curled up slightly as he thought to himself, "So that's what Ace meant."

"However, I'm really not sure if that's true."

at the same time.

Luffy slowly approached a spot less than three meters from Rorschach, with Zoro and Sanji by his side.

"Hehehe, Ice Man, come and fight!"

"I want to see just how strong you really are!"

Rorschach remained silent, but Garp beside him said, "Luffy, don't talk nonsense!"

"Grandpa, I'm not making this up. Inside that ball, this guy really promised me everything!"

As he spoke, Luffy clenched his fists, looking very confident.

When Garp saw Luffy looking like this, his fists started itching to come together.

He was terrified that his grandson would be killed by Rorschach, a monster.

In the past two years, he has witnessed firsthand what a monster truly is.

Rorschach's current strength is such that he can do whatever he wants as long as he doesn't encounter one of the Four Emperors, and even if he does, it's a 50/50 match.

His swordsmanship was dazzling; if Hawkeye Mihawk dared to challenge him, Rorschach would be doing Rorschach a disservice if he didn't lose an arm.
