One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 27 A Bountiful Harvest of Fragments

"Hahaha, it's this kid!"

Garp patted Rorschach's shoulder hard, unaware that Rorschach already knew Garp would do this.

Rorschach directly transformed his shoulder into an elemental form, and when Garp slapped the shoulder, shattered ice flew everywhere.

This scene made the mole's eyes widen, and he looked at Rorschach's expression, which remained very calm.

However, the mole still found all of this incredible.

"Ahem, Vice Admiral Mole, this matter is quite complicated, so let's not discuss it now. You can ask Marshal Sengoku later!"

"Oh... okay!" The mole nodded subconsciously.

Rorschach looked around, then his hands turned ice blue, and a row of deck chairs slowly appeared in front of everyone.

Rorschach invited, "Vice Admiral Garp, Admiral Aokiji, Vice Admiral Mole, shall we have a seat?"

They naturally accepted Rorschach's invitation without hesitation; why stand when they could sit down?

Once everyone was seated, Luo Xia finally revealed the purpose he had been keeping in mind.

Rorschach rubbed his hands together and asked, "Um... Mr. Garp, could you show me your Armament Haki?"

"I'll learn from this!"

As he spoke, Rorschach created an ice bucket, while his hands were constantly spewing out rice crackers.

"Hahaha, little Rorschach is so sensible!" Garp naturally picked up a senbei and started eating it with a "crunch crunch".

"I didn't expect you to start learning Armament Haki, but Armament Haki isn't so easy to learn!"

"Back then, I had to blast through eight mountains to learn it."

"If you want to learn, I can teach you!" Garp said proudly, recounting his past experiences.

And he even seemed to want to teach Rorschach.

Luo Xia's face darkened instantly, and he thought to himself: This old man doesn't seem like a good person!

I treated him to rice crackers, and this old man actually wanted me to go and die!

Seeing that Garp was still rambling on, Rorschach grabbed Garp's fist and placed it on the edge of his recliner.

"Grandpa Garp, let me see your Armament Haki first!"

"Oh, good!"

In an instant, the hand that Luo Xia had been holding turned pitch black.

Then a series of sounds came from Rorschach's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 5 Armament Haki fragments.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 6 Armament Haki fragments.]

Throughout the series of sounds, Rorschach's smile never faded.

At this point, Rorschach felt that he could now barely apply Armament Haki to one of his thumbs.

As he continuously absorbed fragments into himself, Rorschach became increasingly familiar with this colorless and odorless energy.

And Rorschach didn't forget to cover for himself.

Rorschach looked at Garp's palm and then at his own hands.

Immediately, Rorschach's hands emitted a dazzling ice-blue light.

"I wonder if it's possible to synthesize this?" Rorschach murmured, staring intently at Garp's hand.

Although he spoke very softly, the three of them still heard him.

The blue pheasant and the mole exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison, clearly disbelieving.

Garp, on the other hand, had a smile on his face. Whether he was looking forward to it or not was unknown, but he was certainly enjoying his meal.

Rorschach's hands emitted light as he pressed his palms directly down onto Garp's arm.

But after several seconds, nothing happened.

This was something Rorschach did intentionally.

Keep in mind that this is a general, two lieutenant generals, and one of them is even stronger than a general.

If they knew that Rorschach could learn Armament Haki in just one day...

Rorschach could foresee that outcome; he might be dismembered to see how my body was made.

While Luo Xia was still in a daze, a pale yellow light shone on the entire courtyard from ten meters away.

Luo Xia closed his eyes tightly, and when the light faded, everyone realized that the person in the distance had a lewd smile on his face. It was none other than Kizaru.

Borsalino, codenamed Kizaru, ate the Devil Fruit... I mean, the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Beside him was Gion, who saw Rorschach lying on a recliner, one hand resting on Vice Admiral Garp's arm as if taking his pulse. Gion was so angry that he laughed.

Upon seeing Gion in this state, Rorschach immediately jumped off the deck chair.

He was afraid that if he hesitated even a moment longer, the whip would come lashing at him.

The others sat up as well, except for Mole, who stood up, since the newcomer was Admiral Kizaru.

Kizaru walked over with a lewd look on his face, looked around, and finally stopped in front of Rorschach. "Yo, Rorschach kid, I heard you need my help?"

Rorschach nodded. "That's right. I wanted to try out my new idea, so I asked Gion-nee to help me invite Admiral Kizaru over!"

"After all, I don't even know if I'll be allowed to get in!"

Luo Xia scratched his head, which made him seem somewhat honest.

Kizaru nodded, casually found a recliner and lay down, saying casually, "Just tell me what you need. Anyway, I don't have any missions lately, so I'm pretty relaxed!"

Luo Xia didn't say anything, but instead moved the weapons that he and the others had retrieved next to the recliner.

This makes it easier to work.

Everyone who saw this gathered around, and Garp even brought over the rice cracker bucket that Rorschach had just made for him, eating it while watching.

A hint of anticipation flashed in Gion's eyes.

Luo Xia looked at Kizaru and slowly said, "Admiral Kizaru, could you give me a ball of light?"

Kizaru was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and casually condensed a ball of light the size of an apple.

And as expected of the Glint-Glint Fruit, even Rorschach was dazzled.

Rorschach picked up the ball of light that Admiral Kizaru had condensed with one hand.

Having learned from his previous experience, Rorschach no longer needed to be so cautious.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Luo Xia's mind: [Ding! Random quest triggered]

[Please craft one hundred elemental weapons, host.]

[Completion Reward: Anywhere Door]

[Failure penalty: loss of the Ice-Ice Fruit ability]

The series of system notifications left Luo Xia somewhat bewildered, but he managed to understand them clearly.

Anywhere door? Would I need it?

I've only been to a deserted island, what use would you be to me?

Of course, Luo Xia could only think these words in his heart and could not say them out loud.

Rorschach's eyes swept over the pile of weapons before finally settling on an iron sword.

Luo Xia grabbed the iron sword and violently pressed down the ball of light in his hand until it disappeared.

Everyone's lips twitched at the sight. They were all afraid that the ball of light would explode, but they didn't expect it to be completely intact.

At this moment, the mole asked curiously, "Is Rorschach finished?"

"What purpose does it serve?"

Luo Xia weighed it in his hand and found that it was still the same weight, feeling no different from the previous iron sword.

He couldn't help but wonder, "Could this thing have failed?"

"Your work failed, didn't it?" Gion questioned.

Gion has a say when it comes to swords and the like, because her Kinpira still exudes an extremely strong chill when taken out.

She had just noticed that this iron sword didn't exhibit any characteristics of Admiral Kizaru's abilities, so she was certain that the sword was a complete failure.
