One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 40 Return

Led by Rorschach and assisted by Smokertina, Rorschach carefully searched the area but only found a wooden box with an iron lock on it.

Luo Xia looked at the wooden box in his hand with disdain. "Damn it, a pirate with a net worth of over 120 million has so little treasure?"

"Did he find this little wooden box in some trash can?"

It's perfectly normal for Rorschach to be disgusted by such a simple wooden box.

Rorschach glanced at the two people beside him, then instantly covered his hands with Armament Haki, the black texture of which didn't even make Smoker blink.

Luo Xia grabbed the lock on the wooden box and yanked it off, throwing it aside.

At this moment, Smoker and Tina also leaned their heads closer, looking curious.

As Luo Xia slowly opened the wooden box, the contents inside were revealed to the three of them.

When Smoker and Tina saw what was inside, their eyes widened instantly, as if they had seen something incredible.

Inside the wooden box, a Devil Fruit shaped like a banana lay quietly.

Rorschach glanced at it for a few seconds before tossing it to Smoker and Tina, clearly having lost interest.

Since it's banana-shaped, it must be either an animal or a superhuman type.

Rorschach immediately lost interest. Moreover, he seemed to have seen this scene in his previous life, and Rorschach suspected that there was a high probability that it was a Zoan-type.

With the fruit in their hands, Smoker and Smoker exchanged a glance. Smoker asked, "What should we do with this?"

"Of course we should hand it over to Teacher Zefa. Since it was captured in battle and there was a commander in charge, the first choice is to hand it over to the commander in charge."

"It's all in the naval manual, and we're not robbers!"

Smoker curled his lip and said speechlessly, "I know, I don't need you, woman, to remind me!"

Just as Tina was about to retaliate, a deep voice entered her ears: "What's wrong? Tina, Smoker?"

Tina recognized Zefa and quickly handed him the wooden box.

"Zeff-sensei, this is the only thing we found when we were searching this pirate's things, and it's a Devil Fruit!"

Upon hearing that it was a Devil Fruit, Zephyr raised an eyebrow slightly and took the Devil Fruit from Tina.

"I never expected this little pirate to possess a Devil Fruit. This is truly an unexpected bonus. When we return to headquarters, we will reward the three of you!"

The three nodded in unison.

Before long, Zephyr led the captured pirates and many trainees back towards the Marine Headquarters.

Rorschach remained lying on his deckchair, with Smoker and Tina beside him, though the two were now sitting on stools.

"Rorschach, tell me quickly, how else can I develop this Smoke-Smoke Fruit?"

"I feel that if my smoke-in-body technique had lasted any longer, it could have even killed some weaker pirates!"

As Rorschach listened to Smoker's incessant chatter in his ear, he began to doubt whether this was still the Smoker he knew.

"Smoker, stop arguing. This is all I have on my mind right now. Leave me alone, I want to sleep!"

Smoker showed no arrogance at what Rorschach had just said, after all, Rorschach had helped him develop a new skill today!

Meanwhile, Zephyr's eyes were narrowed to slits behind his sunglasses, and he was holding a bottle of sherry, clearly very happy.

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The warship docked on time, which also meant that Luo Xia and his classmates had successfully completed their graduation practical training, and these students were destined to have a bright future.

The students who disembarked with Zefa were beaming with joy.

However, three people are different from others: Rorschach, Smoker, and Tina.

Rorschach looked sleepy, occasionally glaring at Smoker beside him.

Smoker, not to be outdone, glared back at Rorschach.

"Hey, you two, shut up for a bit! Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Admiral Kizaru are down there!"

Rorschach pouted, "Smoker, if you ever wake me up again, I'll beat you up!"

"Tch, wait until I learn Armament Haki, then I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Tina was holding her forehead with one hand, looking speechless.

Meanwhile, at the port, Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Kizaru were standing at the port welcoming Zephyr and the other students.

As soon as Sengoku met Zefa, he asked, "How was the actual battle this time?"

"Were any trainees injured?"

Zefa glanced at the students behind him and replied, "Ten, just scratches."

"This time, Smoker and Rorschach performed exceptionally well, especially Rorschach, whose strength is at least twice that of his peers, while Smoker is slightly weaker."

"Tina played a significant supporting role in this battle; her Olive Fruit is very useful!"

Speaking of fruit, Zephyr suddenly remembered something and took out a banana, tossing it to Sengoku.

Sengoku took it with a bewildered look, and immediately exclaimed, "You actually got a Devil Fruit this time?"

Do you know what department it is?

"That kid Rorschach said it's most likely a Zoan type!"

Sengoku nodded in agreement, saying, "That's about right. This shape should be correct. We can just throw it into the naval treasury when the time comes."

"As for this practical exercise, I will reward you based on the report you provided!"

The two of them started chatting as if no one else was around, which made the students standing behind them miserable.

"They never expected that the first thing they would do upon returning would not be to go back to their dormitories to shower, but to listen to Marshal Zhan Guo preach here."

Luo Xia pursed his lips and plopped down, completely ignoring the strange looks from the surrounding marines.

As soon as Luo Xia sat down, Sengoku, who was standing at the front, noticed him and realized what was happening.

"Zeffa, then you should let these students go back first!"

Zefa nodded, then turned and said loudly, "Kids, you can go back now!"

Upon hearing that he could go back, Rorschach immediately stood up and walked straight towards the direction of Garp's villa without looking back.

Before long, Luo Xia arrived at the entrance of the Kapu Villa. As for the Zhiyuan Villa, Luo Xia had cultivated quite a bit this year, and he didn't want to go back to be tortured again.

As soon as Rorschach entered Garp's villa, he saw Garp sitting on the sofa in a navy uniform, holding... a piece of paper in his hand?

To be precise, it should be called an arrest warrant.

Several wanted posters were also placed on the table.

This left Luo Xia somewhat puzzled. When did old man Garp become so interested in pirates?

At least at this stage, he wouldn't be interested in pirates. Could it be one of the Four Emperors?

Rorschach's eyes lit up, and he strode directly behind Garp.

Garp didn't even look up when he heard the voice; he was still holding the wanted poster in his hand.
