One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 43 Sherlock Holmes: Garden

Garp looked at the two fruits in his hand, weighed them in his hand for a moment as if they were nothing, and then asked, "Bogart, have I seen fruits of this shape somewhere before?"

Biggat didn't reply, but stared intently at the two fruits in Garp's hand and said quietly, "Hmm...it looks like the Glint-Glint Fruit!"

"That's what it looked like in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia back then."

"It's just that the Devil Fruit illustrations show yellow ones, but these two are green and pink!"

Luo Xia wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said calmly, "These two are fruits I synthesized, not Devil Fruits. Don't talk nonsense!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rorschach reached out with both hands to grab the Devil Fruits that Garp was holding, but no matter how hard Rorschach grabbed, the two fruits seemed to be welded to Garp's hands.

Luo Xia immediately felt extremely embarrassed. "Old man! Give it back to me right now! I worked so hard to synthesize this, don't break it!"

As Luo Xia did a series of things, Tina behind him felt her mind become clear, and everything connected in her mind.

Why was Rorschach so nervous when he saw the two Devil Fruits that Mr. Garp was holding?

Why did Rorschach just wipe away cold sweat?

Why is Rorschach so determined to get those two fruits back?

This all makes sense.

Gion immediately stood up, walked to Garp's side, and reached out to take the pink Devil Fruit.

Upon seeing this, Luo Xia's heart skipped a beat.

Rorschach knew perfectly well that this Gion was not as simple-minded as old man Garp.

"Sister Zhiyuan, thank goodness you came to my rescue. Okay, give it back to me now, I'll give you one more when I make too many!"

Gion looked at Luo Xia with a half-smile, then put the pink fruit to her lips.

"Little brother Luo Xia~ Is this just ordinary fruit?"

"Of course, there are only so many Logia-type Devil Fruits. Who can get two at once? Besides, wasn't the Glint-Glint Fruit already eaten by Admiral Kizaru?"

As Rorschach spoke more and more, he became more and more confident in his lies, to the point that he now believed he was right, and that the fruit in Capo's hand was just an ordinary fruit.

Gion shook the pink fruit in her hand, and just as Luo Xia thought that Gion was going to return it to him, Gion took a bite of the pink fruit right under Luo Xia's horrified gaze.

In an instant, Luo Xia's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

The moment I took a bite of Gion, I felt terrible; my entire taste buds were filled with the smell of feces.

Although she had never eaten it, she had heard others talk about it.

After Gion swallowed with difficulty, Luo Xia immediately ran over and shook Gion's body.

"Sister Gion, hurry up and throw it up!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

As Rorschach shook Gion's body, his eyes remained fixed on the Devil Fruit. When he saw that the fruit had a small hole in it, Rorschach felt like he wanted to die.

"Oh no...you actually ate it!"

Gion waved her hand dismissively, "It's fine, didn't you say it was just ordinary fruit anyway?"

"This fruit tastes absolutely awful; it's the worst thing I've ever eaten!"

If Luo Xia weren't currently unable to defeat Zhiyuan, she would definitely have sewn his mouth shut by now.

Suddenly, Rorschach caught a glimpse of Garp putting down the green fruit out of the corner of his eye. With lightning speed, Rorschach instantly stored it in his own space.

"Hahaha, it's just ordinary fruit, but you're acting like you ate a Devil Fruit!" Garp patted Rorschach on the shoulder.

Luo Xia pouted, looking unconvinced.

After eating the Devil Fruit, Gion felt as if a warm current was flowing into her entire body.

About a minute later, Gion's eyes widened. She... felt as if she had gained a new ability.

Gion swallowed hard, then stared at Luo Xia with a shocked and surprised look.

His gaze seemed to see right through Rorschach.

Suddenly, Gion stood up and went to Bogart's side, saying, "Bogart, would you please take the marines on deck to the cabin for a while?"

"I have something important to discuss with Mr. Rorschach and Mr. Garp!"

"It's alright, Vice Admiral Gion. I'll take these marines into the cabin immediately. We won't come out without your and Vice Admiral Garp's orders!"

As the group of marines entered the cabin, Garp was completely stunned.

Meanwhile, Gion sat not far from Rorschach and Garp, looking serious, as if he were about to announce something important.

When Luo Xia saw Gion in this state, his heart sank to the bottom.

Luo Xia had already cursed the system a thousand times in his heart: Why did two fruits suddenly appear in my palm?

Isn't it always stored in the system space?

Of course, no one answered his question!

"Momoto, why did you suddenly call them in? And why do you look so serious? Do you have something important to tell me?"

Instead of speaking, Gion rubbed her hands together, then extended her index finger. A few seconds later, a pink light appeared at the tip of her finger.

The moment the pink light appeared, it shot directly towards Vice Admiral Garp.

Garp clenched his fist and shattered it with a single blow.

Garp paused for a second, then looked at Gion in disbelief and asked, "What was that just now?"

"Hmm...it seems to be the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit!"

Gion was already 80% convinced of this, but the remaining 20% ​​required confirmation from Rorschach.

"I just ate that pink fruit and this is what happened!" Gion shrugged, indicating that she was also a little confused.

Then Gion recalled in his mind the techniques Kizaru used when employing the Glint-Glint Fruit.

A bright pink light shone from his hand, and a fist-sized ball of light was shot out by Zhiyuan. The ball of light exploded the moment it touched the sea surface.

Garp and Gion, who witnessed this scene, truly believed it.

The two who had realized what was happening immediately turned their gazes to Luo Xia, as if to say, "Aren't you going to explain?"

Luo Xia opened his mouth, but ultimately just lay down on the recliner and ignored everything else.

Luo Xia's attitude immediately baffled Zhiyuan, so Zhiyuan said in a gentle voice, "Brother Luo Xia, how did you manage to do that?"

"If you tell me, I'll grant you one request, okay?"

Luo Xia looked Zhiyuan up and down and finally said, "Let's talk about that later. As for the thing you just mentioned, I can tell you about it!"

"After all, it's not something shameful!"

"On the contrary, I had a lot of trouble getting these two, and you just ate them like that!" Luo Xia said viciously.
