One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 66 The Straw Hat Crew's Crisis

Luo Xia turned his head and couldn't help but smile. "Hey, boss, it seems the person you're looking for has arrived?"

Aokiji dusted off his trousers, stood up, and said coldly, "Let's go!"

"it is good!"

Meanwhile, on the harbor shore, the Straw Hat crew were unaware that danger was quietly approaching.

Rorschach followed closely behind Aokiji like a little brother.

A few minutes later, Rorschach watched the Straw Hat crew disembark and secretly began to look forward to it.

As Rorschach and Sylvanas drew closer, the Straw Hat crew gradually got a clearer look at their faces.

The Straw Hat crew were initially wary when they saw someone approaching, but most of them lowered their guard the moment they saw Rorschach.

Straw Hat Boy was even more excited.

"Hey, I remember you, you are... you are that Ice Man!"

"What are you doing here?" Luffy greeted Rorschach familiarly.

From the moment Zoro saw Rorschach, his desire for alcohol grew stronger.

Ever since Zoro tasted Rorschach's sake, he has been longing for it.

Aokiji glanced at Rorschach and asked, "You two know each other? You seem to be quite familiar with each other?"

"Pretty much. I had a meal with the Straw Hat crew with the old man last time!"

"Oh, I see!"

Aokiji remained expressionless.

In Rorschach's memory, from the moment he began investigating Robin's whereabouts, Aokiji seemed to have hardly ever smiled.

Rorschach looked around and noticed that there was an extra tanuki this time, which must be Chopper.

What really caught Luo Xia's attention was the black-haired woman standing at the very back, with a look of terror on her face.

What kind of look was that?

Who do you have to see to give me that look?

Luo Xia slowly looked at Aokiji beside him, and couldn't help but think to himself, "Just how much childhood trauma did this guy inflict on someone's childhood?!"

"Boss, it seems we've found the person we're looking for!"

Rorschach pointed to Robin, who was standing at the very back with a terrified expression.

"Nicole Robin!"

Just as Rorschach finished speaking, a near-scream came from Robin's mouth, "Everyone, run!"

"That's...that's Admiral Aokiji!"

Upon hearing the words "Admiral," Luffy and the others, who had originally wanted to say a few more words to Rorschach, immediately stepped back.

They knew more or less about the navy, especially its highest combat force, the admirals.

Despite Rorschach's mild demeanor, they remained vigilant.

Zoro went even further and directly drew Wado Ichimonji.

Rorschach was taken aback. Was the title of Admiral really that intimidating?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. He's a Marine Admiral, after all. Pirates would naturally be afraid of him!

Luo Xia turned to Aokiji, who had been silent all along, and asked, "Boss, should we capture them all or freeze them all?"

"Or will you do it yourself, boss?"

Aokiji looked around and said, slowly and deliberately, "I'll do it myself!"

"Your skills aren't quite there yet!"

Luo Xia shrugged and walked to a corner, where he made a deck chair and lay down to rest.

Unlike Rorschach's relaxed demeanor, the Straw Hat crew had overheard the entire conversation between the two.

Nami asked uncertainly, "They... just said they were going to arrest us all?"

No one spoke; the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

One by one, they all stared warily at Aokiji, watching his every move.

Aokiji scratched his head and said casually, "Oh my, Nico Robin, I've been looking for you for almost half a month!"

"I never expected you to join the Straw Hat Pirates! That's quite a surprise!"

"Damn Marines, Robin can go on whichever ship she wants, what's it to you?!" Luffy shouted angrily.

"That's right, Robin is our partner!"

Aokiji did not respond to the Straw Hat crew's rebuttal, but instead looked at Rorschach sitting in the corner.

Luo Xia immediately understood Aokiji's meaning, activated his Space-Space Fruit, and instantly appeared next to Aokiji.

"Boss, what's up?"

"Explain Nico Robin's background to them!"

"what?"

Although he didn't understand why Aokiji wanted him to do this, he was, after all, his subordinate.

With a wave of his hand, Rorschach conjured an ice chair beneath him. Rorschach gazed at everyone before him and slowly said, "Nicole Robin, a descendant of a demon, currently has a bounty of 79 million Berries."

"He was extremely intelligent and passed his doctoral exam at the age of eight."

"She understands historical texts, and the world governments are currently after her."

"As for why she had such a large bounty on her head when she was eight years old, I remember that she destroyed dozens of warships when she was eight."

"Of course, I found all of this myself!"

"So, Straw Hat crew, you should just hand him over!" Rorschach kindly advised.

But no one paid any attention to Rorschach; they were all staring at Robin in shock. They hadn’t expected their partner to be so powerful, capable of destroying dozens of warships at the age of eight.

"You damn Ice Man, stop talking nonsense! Robin is our partner, and we will never hand her over!"

"Unless you kill me, Robin will absolutely not be captured by you!"

Luo Xia's lips twitched, but he didn't reply.

What a joke! Your grandfather is Garp, who would dare kill you?

While Rorschach was still in a daze, a green, round bead flew towards him.

Luo Xia blinked, and the next second the round bead exploded just three centimeters away from Luo Xia.

The moment it exploded, black smoke billowed out.

What attacked me?

Luo Xia stood up, and the ice on his face peeled off piece by piece, the ice pieces covered in black smoke falling to the ground with a crisp sound.

When the smoke cleared, Luo Xia could finally see what it was.

"Gunpowder, I think I know who did it!"

Luo Xia's face darkened; he hadn't expected that someone who was usually timid would be so audacious today.

A long-nosed man hiding in the crowd saw Luo Xia spot him immediately and panicked instantly.

"Oh no, oh no! My hand slipped, and I launched the gunpowder star!"

"What are we going to do now?"

"He...he won't kill me, will he?"

Rorschach glanced at Usopp in the crowd, and the next second a figure appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. Without saying a word, Rorschach's hand revealed an icy blue light, and he directly touched Usopp's body.

Rorschach's lips curled into a smile as he activated his Space-Space Fruit and returned to Aokiji's side.

As soon as Rorschach returned to Aokiji's side, Usopp in the crowd turned into an ice sculpture, frozen solid.

When the Straw Hat crew saw Usopp in this state, they were completely panicked, especially Nami, whose eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Rorschach.

"Oh no, oh no, where's the doctor? Where's the doctor?"

"By the way, I am a doctor!"

"His body temperature is dropping rapidly. We must thaw Usopp quickly, or he will die!"

Chopper quickly made the most effective analysis.
