One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 68: The 8 Million Deal Between Sengoku and Rorschach?

"Well... fine, what can I do, you're the general!"

Aokiji gave a long look at the Straw Hat crew who were busy not far away.

"Let's go, let's find a place to head back to Marine Headquarters!"

"oh oh!"

Before long, Rorschach and his group arrived at the eastern side of Long Chain Island. Aokiji took out a Den Den Mushi and made a call to Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Xia felt a spatial fluctuation, which might be because he was a user of the Space-Space Fruit.

A pink door appeared before them, revealing a familiar office and three familiar figures to Luo Xia.

Garp, Sengoku period, Gion.

Only after Luo Xia entered the office did Zhiyuan begin to look him up and down.

Luo Xia felt a little uneasy under Zhiyuan's gaze and subconsciously took three steps back.

Luo Xia asked in confusion, "What are you looking at, woman?"

"Hmph, you've been gone for over half a month, how did you end up in such a sorry state?"

Luo Xia was speechless for a moment, "You... I won't stoop to your level!"

Just as Gion was about to make a move, Sengoku asked, "Aokiji, how's the investigation going this time?"

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Nico Robin is currently working as an archaeologist for the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"But we have to survive first!"

Sengoku was puzzled. "What does that mean?"

Aokiji pointed at Rorschach and said lazily, "This kid and I froze the entire Straw Hat crew!"

Rorschach glanced at Garp, and only nodded when he saw that Garp didn't react.

"Alright, I'm sure the Five Elders have received the news as well!"

After Zhan Guo finished speaking, his eyes gradually became serious.

"Now, let's talk about something else!"

Everyone looked at Sengoku with suspicion, while Sengoku's eyes shone as he looked at Luo Xia.

Luo Xia swallowed hard.

"Haha, kid Rorschach, I wonder if you could synthesize a Devil Fruit for our Navy right now?"

Luo Xia's lips twitched. He had thought about many things, but this was something he had never expected.

I thought that the old man from the Warring States period would forget about it soon, but he brought it up again so quickly.

"Ahem, that's certainly possible, but all of you generals should be out on missions by now, right?"

Zhan Guo revealed a mysterious smile and immediately clapped his hands.

At the same time, the office door opened.

Luo Xia and the others looked over and saw a man who was nearly three meters tall, wearing a dark red suit, and whose face looked extremely serious.

As soon as Akainu entered, he asked, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, is what you said true?"

Akainu's eyes kept darting back and forth between Rorschach and Akainu.

Sengoku smiled kindly, "Sakazuki, don't worry, I would never lie about something like this!"

"Your job now is to sit down!"

Sakazuki looked around and finally plopped down in front of Rorschach.

"Come on, kid, didn't you want my lava?"

At this moment, Fleet Admiral Sengoku also came out of his desk, and Garp stopped eating his senbei. They all formed a circle around Rorschach and Akainu.

Luo Xia opened his mouth; he realized these guys were just there to watch the show!

Rorschach plopped down next to Akainu, his hands glowing with an icy blue light. But then, as if struck by a thought, he looked up at Sengoku.

"Marshal Sengoku, I won't do this job until I've received my Pele!"

"Also, this matter must be kept secret!"

Sengoku nodded heavily, and at the same time, he took out a golden card from his pocket.

Rorschach recognized what it was at a glance.

Rorschach took it without any hesitation.

Immediately, a flash of light appeared in Luo Xia's hand, and a thick layer of ice appeared on the ground, looking extremely hard and exuding a chilling aura.

Rorschach swallowed hard, his hand trembling as he reached out, "Um... Um, Admiral Akainu, give me a small ball of lava first!"

Akainu glanced at Rorschach's trembling hand, then at the thick layer of ice beneath Rorschach's palm, and finally at Sengoku, his expression hesitant.

"Kid, my lava is 1500 degrees Celsius hot. Are you sure you can handle it?"

Akainu was very skeptical of this, as he didn't want to burn a rising star of the Navy with a small ball of magma.

Furthermore, he had also paid attention to Luo Xia. Luo Xia's swordsmanship was even able to force Gion to retreat. It should be noted that Gion was a candidate for general. If he could force Gion to retreat now, then Luo Xia's future was limitless.

Rorschach steadied his hands to stop them from trembling. "I still have Armament Haki, so don't worry, Admiral Akainu!"

Akainu thought about it and realized he was right. In his haste, he had completely forgotten that the kid had Haki protecting him.

Akainu slowly removed his gloves, and the surrounding air seemed to evaporate, becoming unbearably hot.

Apart from Rorschach and Aokiji, who didn't sense anyone, the other three people at the scene had fine beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Akainu conjured a ball of magma the size of an apple and placed it in Rorschach's hand.

As it was placed in Luo Xia's hand, the mass of magma actually bubbled up, and a drop of magma splashed directly onto Luo Xia's face.

Fortunately, Rorschach reacted quickly, conjuring an ice mask on his face.

The moment the mass of magma was placed in Luo Xia's hand, it vanished instantly before his eyes.

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 2 Magma Fruit Fragments]

Rorschach's lips curled up slightly.

It seems the system works for all ability users, so I can use this money with peace of mind.

After successfully absorbing the nutrients, Luo Xia's face became increasingly confident.

"Admiral Akainu, please continue. The same size is fine!"

"it is good!"

……

After an unknown amount of time, Rorschach's mask was so badly damaged by Akainu's lava that it could practically be used as a funnel.

Aokiji also acted as an air conditioner for Garp and the other two.

Just as Luo Xia finished absorbing a mass of magma, a flash of icy blue light appeared in his hand, and he slammed his palm down on the ground.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the once unbearably hot office instantly became incredibly cool, even a bit chilly.

It would be a lie to say that Zhan Guo wasn't heartbroken to see the entire office frozen solid.

Rorschach ripped off the ice mask that was about to be shattered by the lava.

"Phew! I'm so sorry, Admiral Akainu's magma was too hot, I had no choice but to do this!"

"It's alright, it's alright, Luo Xia, do whatever you want!" Sengoku comforted him.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 2 Lava Fragments]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have reached 200 fragments. Would you like to synthesize them?]

After absorbing the last clump of magma, Luo Xia revealed a meaningful smile.

Because it was Akainu, summoned by Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Rorschach was also thinking about it during the synthesis.

Furthermore, Akainu had never seen him ask Kizaru for many orbs, so Rorschach thought he should ask for more, and also prepare one for his future crew members!

Rorschach requested a total of one hundred magma fragments, which could be used to craft two items.
