One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 176 Jack Steals the House

With the disappearance of the Anywhere Door, Rorschach and the others vanished from Sengoku's sight in the blink of an eye.

Although he hadn't seen these people for a long time, Sengoku was inexplicably excited.

"Hahaha, I actually bought so many Devil Fruits for such a small amount of money."

"We've made a fortune! We've made a fortune!"

As Sengoku was basking in his joy, Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke up quietly, "Don't forget you wrote an IOU."

"This has to be paid back!"

Sengoku's smile froze instantly, his previous excitement vanishing in an instant. "Tsuru, why did you have to bring that up?" Sengoku said with a mournful face.

Lieutenant General Tsuru crossed his arms, looking on with an expression of watching a show. "I'm just reminding you of the facts; that's no small sum."

Zhan Guo waved his hand and laughed, "It's alright, Luo Xia isn't the kind of person who cares about money."

Sengoku then tossed the spatial cube in his hand, "Let's take a look at the Devil Fruits Rorschach left behind."

"It's a good opportunity to categorize them so I can form my own team."

"Alright, since there are so many fruits here, it's hard to explain. I'll help you out!"

The two showed no disgust at the ground; Sengoku picked out Devil Fruits one by one, while Tsuru checked them against the Devil Fruit encyclopedia.

The two had a clear division of labor.

at the same time.

Luo Xia and the others returned to the G5 branch, but as soon as they arrived, they heard a series of explosions.

There were also intermittent air ripples.

There were even screams.

Rorschach and Garp exchanged a glance, and then Rorschach led the group quickly to the sea.

But as soon as they reached the shore, they witnessed an astonishing scene.

At this moment, the sea surface in front of the G5 branch was completely frozen over within a radius of five kilometers.

It features the collision of various elements.

At the very center, a man covered in lightning was engaged in a fierce battle with an elephant.

Rorschach frowned slightly. The person fighting the elephant in front of him was none other than his own deputy base commander, Smoker, and the elephant was none other than Jack, whom he had robbed before, who was also the owner of the Ancient Zoan Mammoth Fruit.

At this moment, Smoker was covered in lightning and held a huge lightning spear in his hand. The two were evenly matched in their battle.

Based on what we've seen so far, it's clear that the battle has been going on for a very, very long time.

"What's this guy doing here?" Garp muttered.

On the battlefield.

Jack let out a nasty laugh, mocking Smoker without restraint, "Hehehe, you even dared to rob me when you passed by here before, so I didn't dare to tell Boss Jin."

"I even had my underlings keep a close eye on your navy. Now that your boss is gone, let's see what you can do to fight me?"

"Although I don't know how you got the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, Zoan-type Devil Fruits are the strongest."

"Once I beat you to death, all the treasures on this island behind you will be mine."

"When the time comes, I'll just take all these treasures and present them to Boss Kaido."

"Then I'll kill you all."

“Fufufufufu”

Smoker sneered, "You hideous bastard, you only dare to make a move when Rorschach isn't around."

"Besides, my abilities are no less than yours!"

As he spoke, lightning surged from Smoker's body to his limbs and bones.

As lightning surged through his limbs and bones, Smoker's speed suddenly increased.

He charged at Jack like lightning, the thunder gun in his hand flashing with a blinding light.

Seeing this, Jack, with his massive body, dodged with unusual agility, while simultaneously sweeping his long nose at Smoker.

Smoker sidestepped, his lightning spear lashing out and striking Jack in the nose. A crackling sound of electricity filled the air, and Jack roared in pain.

But it quickly retaliated, using its immense power to ram into him. Smoker planted his feet firmly on the ice, gripping his lightning spear to block. The powerful impact cracked the surrounding ice.

Just then, several clear footsteps reached Jack's ears.

These voices didn't sound like the underlings fighting on the sidelines.

Jack looked up and his eyes met Rorschach's in an instant.

Jack was immediately alarmed. "Oh no, why is this guy back?"

Smoker sneered, "Today is your death day." However, Jack did not intend to sit idly by and wait for its death. It endured the pain, coated its big nose with Armament Haki, and slammed it hard at Smoker.

But his sluggish body couldn't even touch Smoker.

Smoker dodged Jack's attack with a few quick movements.

Just as Jack was about to continue his attack, a voice as sharp as the Grim Reaper exploded in his ears.

"Damn it, you dead Jack, do you have a death wish?"

"You dare cause trouble on my turf? You're not leaving here today!" Luo Xia's voice was full of anger.

He was clearly furious at Jack's sneak attack.

Luo Xia clenched his fist, and a crisp sound came from it.

It was clear that Rorschach was going to take matters into his own hands now, and this time he wouldn't let him go.

Rorschach glanced at Smoker and said seriously, "Smoker, you should rest for a bit. I want to test the strength of this clumsy elephant."

"Okay, it's best to fight him head-on, otherwise this guy won't feel pain."

As soon as Smoker retreated back to Garp's side, a pink light descended upon him.

The visitor was none other than Gion.

"It's resolved, Mr. Garp!"

Karp nodded. "Very good."

Smoker glanced behind Gion and saw that the thing bound into a huge ball was none other than Jack's partner.

So Momousagi wasn't there to deal with Jack's henchmen.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Rorschach's arms were already imbued with Conqueror's Haki.

He looked incredibly domineering.

Jack, who had already returned to human form, was shocked by the aura emanating from Rorschach.

gurgle—

"Why does this kid's aura feel almost the same as Kaido's?"

"Is it just my imagination?" Jack muttered to himself.

However, while he was thinking, Luo Xia had already activated his spatial abilities and instantly appeared in front of him.

Rorschach clenched his fist and slammed it hard into Jack's face.

Before Jack could even see Rorschach's movements clearly, he was blasted away like a cannonball the moment he made contact with Rorschach's fist.

Those behind them were secretly shocked by what they saw, while some of the more unsophisticated marines cheered.

"The boss is mighty! The boss is mighty!"

The marines naturally held their leader's strength in high regard.

Before Jack, who had been knocked away by himself, had gone very far, Rorschach activated his spatial abilities and quickly teleported to his landing point.

This time, Rorschach didn't knock Jack away; instead, Jack blocked his fist with both hands.
