One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 9 The Art of Elemental Weapons

At this moment, the walls of the Sengoku period were already cracked, and the degree of damage was comparable to that of the Gravity Fruit.

For a moment, everyone stared intently at the glove in Garp's hand, especially Sengoku, who had personally experienced the power of the glove and therefore had the most authoritative voice on the matter.

Right now, he wished he could snatch the glove from Garp's hand.

"Hahahaha, this is incredibly powerful! This is truly a wonderful thing!"

Garp was overjoyed. He hadn't had much hope, but he had actually managed to trap Sengoku inside the wall.

Even Rorschach was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the Gravity Gloves would actually have the power of the Gravity Fruit; it was incredible.

Garp nudged Rorschach, who was still in a daze, and laughed, "Hey kid, what's with these gloves? Explain it to me!"

"That's right, that's right. As the inventor of the glove, you must explain why it's so powerful!"

All the marines wanted Rorschach to explain, and even Akainu and the others were looking at Rorschach expectantly.

Luo Xia swallowed hard and slowly said, "The gravity gloves are linked to the wearer's strength."

"If the wearer uses fist techniques, the power will be even greater, just like Grandpa Garp. He uses his fists, so this glove is a perfect fit for him and is even more powerful!"

"On the contrary, if Gion-nee were to wear the gloves, the power would be less, because she uses a sword."

At this point, Luo Xia looked at Sengoku, who had just been pushed into the wall, and said, word by word, "Of course, while I can make this, it seems I can't achieve mass production!"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku immediately pressed, "Why is that, little Luo Xia?"

For a moment, all the generals present looked at Rorschach. Among them were those who fought with their fists, and of course they wanted this kind of weapon, especially since Garp had just knocked Sengoku into the wall, which was also a reason for their interest.

Rorschach scurried behind Garp and whispered, "That's because, of course, this thing requires Admiral Sakazuki's... gloves!"

"Just now, Garp and Sakazuki got into a fight over the two gloves!"

At this point, Sengoku and the rest of the navy, who had been tense, all burst into laughter. Of course, only Sengoku dared to laugh; if the others had, the lava might have landed on their heads.

"Little Rorschach, you don't need to worry about this. Sakazuki has as many gloves as he wants. If he doesn't have enough, I'll have him buy more!"

Sakazuki nodded and said, "That's right, I still have plenty of gloves, after all, they're for enhancing naval combat power."

"Although you, Marshal Sengoku and Admiral Sakazuki, speak very well, I can only make one set a week!"

Before they could ask any questions, Rorschach continued, "This material not only requires Admiral Sakazuki's gloves, but the only necessary condition is that Admiral Sakazuki must wear them for a full five days!"

"And it can't be damaged, and it can't be charred either."

After finishing speaking, Rorschach shrank back into the chair behind Garp and sat down.

After listening to Rorschach's words, Sengoku stroked his chin as if he was thinking about something, then looked up and said, "From today onwards, Sakazuki, you will wear gloves all the time. After wearing them for five days, you will have Rorschach make you gravity gloves."

"This is a great thing to boost naval combat power, you can't refuse it!"

Sakazuki opened his mouth, but in the end he nodded in agreement.

However, Luo Xia still felt a little disappointed by Sengoku's expression, probably because it couldn't be mass-produced.

"Hahaha, now that we've finished discussing it, I'll take this kid and leave!"

Garp grabbed Rorschach and was about to walk outside when a figure blocked his way—it was Sakazuki.

Karp frowned slightly and asked, "Sakazuki, what are you going to do?"

"Lieutenant General Garp, I think you should take off those gloves."

"Oh? Then who do you think should get it?"

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting again, Sengoku immediately shouted, "Sakazuki, these gloves are for Garp for now, you can have them next time."

Upon hearing Sengoku's words, Sakazuki could only snort coldly and step aside.

Judging from his expression, Sakazuki was very unhappy. He had been beaten up by Garp for no reason today, and anyone would be unhappy in that situation.

Soon, Garp, Zephyr, and Rorschach walked out of the Navy Building and headed towards the training ground.

Along the way, Garp would occasionally throw punches at the air, which annoyed the two of them terribly.

In the end, Zephyr simply kicked Garp out.

Soon after, Zefa brought Rorschach back to the training ground. There, dozens of students were sitting on the ground or smoking cigars, looking quite relaxed.

Upon seeing this, Zefa's veins bulged instantly. "You bunch of bastards, weren't you supposed to train on your own?"

Faced with Zephyr's rage, even Smoker, known as a troublemaker, dared not act rashly.

In an instant, dozens of trainees quickly lined up in several rows, awaiting Zefa's orders, their faces filled with tension.

Even after Rorschach joined the ranks, he could hear them whispering.

"If Smoker hadn't said we could move around freely, we wouldn't have gotten scolded by Professor Zeff!"

"That's it!"

Smoker overheard all the whispers and must be looking furious by now.

"Hmph, I only went to the Warring States office today, and all you did was slack off!"

"It seems you won't understand how terrifying I, Zephyr, am until I give you a good beating!"

Zefa paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, which terrified the trainees!

"Okay, now run thirty... no, fifty laps around the track. You're not allowed to eat until you finish."

"Go now!" Zefa roared.

This alone is enough to show that he was really angry today.

After all, Zephyr had actually been to the sea and understood its cruelty. He knew that only by becoming stronger could one survive; without strength, one would only risk being killed by pirates.

After Zephyr issued the order, the marines took off running, including Rorschach.

At the same time, after Zephyr issued the mission, a voice also rang in Rorschach's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on triggering a random mission: complete fifty laps!]

[Quest Reward: Elemental Weapon Technique]

At the same time, an image appeared in Luo Xia's mind: a person holding a ball of ice and pouring it into a weapon. The weapon then emitted a dazzling light and, like Luo Xia's Tiger Hunt, tightly wrapped around his arm.

Upon seeing this reward, Luo Xia couldn't help but smile slightly. If he mastered this technique, making money would be incredibly easy.

At the same time, another voice from the system followed closely behind.

[Failure penalty: Host goes bald]
