One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 112 Marco vs. Rorschach

Naval Headquarters.

On the bow of the Moby Dick, Whitebeard and Marco were talking about Rorschach in a seemingly casual way.

Whitebeard, in particular, is now very curious about Rorschach.

And I'm also very curious about his abilities.

After an unknown amount of time, a fierce-looking pirate knelt down beside Whitebeard and said, "Father, it seems that three people with the abilities of the Glint-Glint Fruit have appeared on the battlefield, and one of them also has Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit ability!"

Marco frowned and asked doubtfully, "Three? The Glint-Glint Fruit? Are you sure?"

Marco was highly skeptical of this, especially since it was such a top-tier fruit!

The man nodded firmly. "That's right, Dad, Captain Marco."

"Besides Kizaru, the other two are Vice Admiral Momousagi and Vice Admiral Momonga."

"The one with magma abilities is Lieutenant General Fire Mountain. These three have already killed many of our comrades!"

Marco was slightly surprised, his eyes flashing like lightning. A few seconds later, he did indeed see several abilities on the battlefield that resembled those of the Glint-Glint Fruit.

In particular, when Marco saw that dark red figure, he immediately looked up at Akainu.

Marco's expression changed upon confirming it was Akainu.

"Dad, it seems the Navy has developed something amazing. They're able to create Devil Fruits one after another."

"And it's a top-tier natural type!"

Marco gave a wry smile.

Although the entire Whitebeard Pirates crew had already stormed the Marine Headquarters, they were still caught off guard by this unexpected event.

Furthermore, some vice admirals in the Navy are already very strong, and if they eat a Devil Fruit, their strength will be significantly enhanced.

Perhaps noticing Marco's slight panic, Whitebeard unconsciously tapped the hand holding the Murakumogiri a few times.

Whitebeard's lips curled up slightly as he said heartily, "With me here, whether it's one Shining Devil Fruit user or two, I'll defeat them all and rescue Ace!"

Marco's slightly flustered expression gradually disappeared upon hearing this.

Looking at the tall, white-bearded man, Marco felt a little more at ease.

Marco activated his ability, his flame-blue wings unfurled, and he transformed into a phoenix.

Marco leaped into the air, soaring high into the sky, his target aimed directly at the execution platform.

All the gunfire, artillery fire, and arrows that followed were aimed at Marco, but all of them pierced through his wings.

On the execution platform, Rorschach sat cross-legged next to Garp, his head resting on Garp's shoulder, gazing up at Marco in the sky and slowly asking, "Marshal, that bird looks like it's about to fly over!"

After saying this, Luo Xia ignored Sengoku and stood up.

Then, under Sengoku Garp's astonished gaze, he slowly took a step forward.

This step was actually made by stepping on thin air.

It's not like moonwalking, where you jump around in the air; it's a slow, leisurely stroll.

Rorschach slowly walked toward Marco, who was flying not far away.

Rorschach glanced down and saw Akainu standing up. He shouted, "Admiral Akainu, leave that bird to me!"

Akainu should have guessed Rorschach's purpose long ago, but instead of sitting back down to continue his show-off act, he jumped onto the battlefield.

Luo Xia gradually withdrew his gaze, his eyes revealing interest in Marco.

Rorschach hadn't really seen many Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits, not counting the anime.

Rorschach gazed at Marco, who had already arrived, and smiled slightly.

Marco frowned slightly and asked lazily, "What's your background in the Navy?"

"They can actually walk in the air?"

"Could it be that, just as I guessed, he's a dual Devil Fruit user?"

Marco spoke his mind, while secretly becoming wary of Rorschach.

That punch just now dislocated his arm.

"I've never been a pirate, but I know about the Whitebeard Pirates. Whitebeard must be quite old, right?"

"Didn't you ever consider that your father, Whitebeard, didn't intend to go back after coming to Marine Headquarters this time?"

Marco frowned slightly and said coldly, "What do you mean?"

"It means Whitebeard is going to die here!"

As soon as Luo Xia finished speaking, a yellow bird claw slammed into Luo Xia's arm.

The instant his arm made contact with the bird's claw, Rorschach's arm exploded into a ball of ice crystals with a loud "boom".

Luo Xia shook his hand, and his previously broken arm grew back.

Luo Xia patted his chest, still shaken, and said, "That scared me to death!"

Marco didn't say anything, but instead continued his fierce attack, using everything from kicks and stomps to claw attacks and phoenix dives.

The two exchanged blows in mid-air, their fists landing squarely, while the three on the execution platform all looked up at their fight.

Ace, in particular, stared wide-eyed, his heart filled with shock. Having been with the Whitebeard Pirates for so long, he naturally knew Marco's strength.

When Garp visited him in Impel Down, he told him that if he wanted to leave, he could ask Rorschach for help, but he refused.

In particular, Rorschach and Garp told Ace how they met.

In the sky, Rorschach and Marco were fighting fiercely, exchanging punches and kicks, both of them enveloped in Armament Haki, their battle evenly matched.

Rorschach gritted his teeth, and the next second, he activated his spatial power, instantly retreating several meters.

Luo Xia wiped his forehead, and a knife instantly appeared in his hand. At the same time, scorching flames suddenly burst from his mouth.

Marco's eyes widened in surprise; he hadn't expected this guy in front of him to know swordsmanship.

Marco frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the two flames at the corners of Rorschach's mouth, utterly puzzled.

Rorschach glared at Marco. "Big bird, what are you looking at?"

"Look at the knife!"

In an instant, Tiger Hunt slashed fiercely at Marco from mid-air, a fiery red dragon roaring and surging towards Marco.

Marco stared at the surging fire dragon and couldn't help but flap his wings and fly away into the distance.

After flying for a while, Marco only realized that the slash was actually chasing him.

Marco's arms instantly transformed into wings, protecting him from the front.

"boom!"

The fire dragon exploded the moment its wings made contact with Marco's.

Tiny plumes of smoke suddenly appeared in the sky.

Once the thick smoke cleared, Marco slowly descended and returned to the Moby Dick!

At that moment, Rorschach glanced at Marco in the air before returning to the execution platform.

At this moment, Rorschach's clothes were covered in Marco's claw marks, making him look quite disheveled.

Rorschach spat and cursed, "This guy tore my clothes to shreds! He's such a morally bankrupt pirate!"
