One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 260 The Spoiled and Willful Snake Woman

at the same time.

Luo Xia relaxed completely after completing the mission, when suddenly a mechanical voice rang in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission! Rewards have been issued!]

Luo Xia was secretly pleased when he suddenly felt a strange change in his body.

The space around him seemed to distort, and everyone stared at him in astonishment.

Rorschach realized that this might be a side effect of the awakening of the Space-Space Fruit's power.

As the spatial fluctuations grew stronger, Rorschach struggled to control his body and try to adapt to this new power.

He focused his mind, trying to stabilize the fluctuations.

Garp called out worriedly, "Rorschach, what's wrong with you?" Rorschach didn't have time to answer and focused on circulating his internal energy.

Finally, the spatial fluctuations stopped, and Luo Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

He discovered that his spatial perception had reached an unprecedented level, allowing him to easily teleport over large areas, though he might not be able to do it over very long distances.

Vegapunk's eyes widened as he curiously leaned closer: "Rorschach, how did you do that?"

Rorschach smiled and said, "It's just that my strength has increased again." He thought to himself that with his strength greatly increased, he would be more confident in dealing with the complexities of pirates or the World Government in the future.

Although Vegapunk was puzzled by this, he still turned around and continued his explanation.

S-Snake Woman is a new type of pacifist "Seraph" that I developed, modeled after Boa Hancock.

She looks like Hancock as a child, but her hairstyle and earrings are the same as the adult Hancock's, and she is much larger.

It has white hair and brown skin, like a Lunarian, with black wings and burning flames on its back, and star-shaped pupils.

As Vegapunk explained, Rorschach also looked toward the snake woman in the container.

She was wearing a white dress and Dom shoes, and there was a tube filled with green blood on her right arm. She looked just like Boa Hancock when she was a child, except that she must have looked very unruly.

At this moment, Rorschach asked, "Hey, old man, is this snake woman modeled after Boa Hancock?"

"Including personality, right?"

Vegapunk paused for a moment, then said, "That's right, it's almost a miniature Boa Hancock."

"Then you, snake woman, are a complete failure!"

Upon hearing this, Vegapunk became somewhat angry: "What makes you say that?"

Rorschach crossed his arms: "If Boa Hancock's arrogant and narcissistic personality were shrunk down and placed in this snake woman, she would just be a troublemaker. She might even throw a tantrum over the smallest things during a battle."

Garp, standing to the side, burst into laughter: "Haha, what Rorschach said makes some sense."

Vegapunk blushed and argued, "We can control her personality flaws through programming." Rorschach raised an eyebrow: "Really? What about her charm? If she loses Hancock's unique charm, can she still be considered a successful 'Seraph'?"

Vegapunk was speechless for a moment.

Rorschach continued, "Doctor, the larger version of Boa Hancock has long admired Luffy, the grandson of Garp, so this snake woman is probably the same."

"When we meet Straw Hat Luffy, he won't attack us."

After a moment of contemplation, Vegapunk said, "What you said does make some sense, but I don't intend to make any changes."

"Because they are in their most perfect state right now."

Just then, the S-Snake Woman inside the container suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with Hancock-esque arrogance: "How dare you speak of me like this?"

Everyone was shocked, not expecting her to regain consciousness so quickly.

Luo Xia shrugged helplessly and looked at the snake woman, saying, "See, I told you so. She looked like this as soon as she gained consciousness."

The snake woman glared angrily at Luo Xia: "You rude person, I will definitely punish you."

As she spoke, green blood gushed from her arm, and the surrounding temperature instantly rose.

Garp stepped forward, blocking Rorschach's path, and looked at the snake woman warily: "Little girl, don't do anything reckless."

The snake woman snorted, "You old fool, how dare you stop me, the king?"

Vegapunk hurriedly said, "S - Snake Woman, don't be rude, they are all honored guests."

The snake woman curled her lip in disdain: "I don't care about whether a guest is an honored guest or not."

Luo Xia's eyes darted around, and he came up with an idea. He deliberately said loudly, "It seems that you snake woman are all talk and no action. You probably don't have any real skills."

The snake woman fell for the trap and shouted, "I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

With a flap of her wings, flames roared forth as she lunged at Rorschach. A slight smile played on Rorschach's lips as he instantly teleported behind the snake woman, gently patting her head: "Too slow."

The snake woman was stunned; she hadn't expected Rorschach to dodge so easily and appear behind her.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at the sight. The snake woman stood there sullenly, no longer saying a word.

At this moment, Vegapunk said seriously to the snake woman, "S-Snake Woman, you need to know your identity. You are a 'Seraphim' meant to maintain peace, not to run wild here."

The snake woman lowered her head, seemingly aggrieved: "But they mocked me."

Luo Xia grinned: "Hey, this little girl is quite interesting. How about I sell her to you for 30 billion, Doctor?"

Vegapunk's eyes widened. "You bastard, you must be joking."

Rorschach waved his hand, "Just kidding."

Vegapunk looked at the snake woman, "Now that you're conscious, follow Sentomaru!"

Hearing Vegapunk's words, the snake woman muttered in dissatisfaction, "Why should I follow Sentomaru? I don't want to."

But seeing Vegapunk's stern gaze, he could only reluctantly walk towards Sentomaru.

"Now that we've finished watching, Doctor, let's head back. I'm worried that Blackbeard might run away."

"Okay!"

Vegapunk quickly led everyone away from the laboratory where the Pacifistas were kept.

But as soon as he returned to another laboratory, a rough and angry voice shouted from inside the room, "Bastards, you bastards, let me go right now!"

"Otherwise, when I get out, none of you will live!"

Rorschach and the others looked in the direction of the sound and saw Blackbeard being tightly bound to a huge experimental table, struggling angrily.

Garp stepped forward and sneered, "Blackbeard, you have committed many evils, and you deserve to end up like this."

Blackbeard glared at Garp, "Old man, don't get cocky. I'll get out of here sooner or later."

Rorschach frowned and looked at Vegapunk: "Doctor, what do you plan to do with him?"

Vegapunk stroked his chin, pondering for a moment: "I need to study the secret behind his ability to possess two Devil Fruit powers simultaneously."

Upon hearing this, Blackbeard's expression changed: "Don't even think about it!"

Luo Xia sneered: "It's not up to you."

"Oh right, I'll leave Blackbeard to the Doctor. I have some things to take care of, so I'll be taking them with me now."

“I see. See you next time, and remember to come visit often!” Vegapunk said.

Rorschach nodded, and the next second, with a wave of his hand, a gray-white Anywhere Door appeared in front of Rorschach...

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve to everyone! May everything go smoothly for you!
