One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 141 Garp Gives Ace Two Choices

"What...what's going on?"

"Yeah, that green beam of light is way too exaggerated!"

Faced with their questions, Luo Xia rolled his eyes at them and said speechlessly, "How should I know? Let's keep watching!"

Time passed slowly, and after watching for an unknown amount of time, the beam of light gradually faded away, revealing a faint dark shadow within it.

About a minute later, the green pillar of light that stretched to the sky finally disappeared.

at the same time.

Ace, who had been lying on the ground with a pale face, slowly opened his eyes, then sat up and looked around blankly.

Upon seeing Garp, Ace slowly murmured, "Old...old man?"

"You died too?"

These words infuriated Garp, and the next second Garp's iron fist slammed towards Ace.

A bump instantly swelled up on Ace's head.

"Ouch, that hurts! What are you doing, old man?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ace seemed to realize something.

Looking around again, I saw Shanks, Beckman, and the other officers of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Although Ace was simple-minded but physically strong, it didn't mean he was really stupid.

Ace slowly stood up and asked, "Excuse me...am I alive or dead?"

"Also...where is this place?"

After a few seconds of silence, the red-haired man put his arm around Rorschach's shoulder and came to Ace, smiling, "Ace, let's sit down and talk. Let's go to my cave and talk!"

"It's not convenient to talk here!"

Before long, the group arrived at the cave, and the red-haired man even lit a fire to keep warm.

At this moment, everyone formed a circle in the cave, with Rorschach sitting opposite Ace, which made it easier to talk!

Luo Xia coughed lightly, staring intently at Ace, and said, "Ace, do you... know who I am?"

"You? You're that navy officer?"

"That vice admiral whose arm my father cut off!"

Luo Xia's face darkened. Damn it, you don't remember the good things, you don't remember my glorious moments, but you remember this kind of thing!

"I guess so, but I still need to reintroduce myself!"

"My name is Rorschach, codename Azure Dragon, Vice Admiral."

"I'm strong enough to take on both of you, and besides, I'm the one who resurrected you!"

Rorschach's words were like a bomb dropped into a calm lake, causing a shockwave.

Ace stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"You say you're the one who resurrected me?"

"R-Really? Does resurrection really exist in this world?"

Rorschach shrugged and leaned against the cave wall.

That look clearly said, "I can't be bothered to answer an idiot like you."

Seeing that Rorschach didn't want to answer, Garp sighed helplessly and said, "That's right, Rorschach is indeed the one who resurrected you."

“Your body has remained with Rorschach since the end of the Marineford War.”

"And he used a whole bunch of gadgets to revive you!"

Hearing that Garp only said half of what he meant, Rorschach said indignantly, "Old man, don't just say half of what you mean! I spent a full 3 billion Berries to buy the materials to make it!"

"This kid is not only ungrateful, but he even dares to question me!"

Rorschach's words shocked Ace once again. Ace quickly got up and was about to thank him when the height of the cave hit him on the head.

Luo Xia shook his head speechlessly and said, "You're so stupid. What kind of idiots have you raised since you were a child, old man?"

"Luffy counts as one, and this guy counts as one too!"

Garp glared at Rorschach. "It's their own business, it has nothing to do with me!"

Through these chats, Ace also learned the whole story.

"So, I've been resurrected?"

Rorschach nodded. "That's right, you big idiot, but you've lost your Devil Fruit power!"

"As for why it's gone, you, as an ability user, know better than I do!"

Ace nodded.

"By the way, since you were able to revive me, then Dad..."

Before Ace could finish speaking, Rorschach interrupted, "That's impossible, don't even think about it!"

"Leaving aside whether I have another three billion, it would take me several months to collect the materials."

"Besides, I'm a navy officer, not a pirate."

"And I have a grudge against Whitebeard!"

Luo Xia's expression practically screamed "There's no room for negotiation!"

After Luo Xia finished speaking, he leaned against the mountain wall and closed his eyes to rest, but he always felt that someone was poking him.

Rorschach opened his eyes and saw Beckman and Redhead poking him with their fingers.

"Huh? What are you two doing?"

Redhead chuckled awkwardly, "Rorschach, I wonder if you could sell us that thing you just mentioned?"

"Our pirate crew may not have much else, but we've got plenty of money!"

“That’s right, that’s right, they’re rich!” Beckman chimed in.

Although the two initially did not believe in the possibility of resurrection, they were moved when they saw Ace standing alive and well in front of them.

Who wouldn't want an extra life?

Furthermore, Beckman suspected that Rorschach Capner's full head of black hair was due to the potion he had taken, otherwise how could he have become so young?

Rorschach glanced cautiously at Garp, then whispered to the two of them, "Don't say it now, okay? The old man is listening!"

"Cough cough!"

Garp coughed lightly, and the entire cave fell silent. Everyone stared at Garp, wanting to see what he would say next.

call-

Garp took two deep breaths, stared at Ace with a serious expression, and asked, "Ace, do you know why you were resurrected?"

"why?"

"That's because that brat Rorschach is doing this for my sake. Otherwise, do you think you would have been resurrected?"

As Garp spoke, Rorschach nodded silently, which was indeed the case.

"Old man..."

"Now that you're back to life, I'll give you two choices!"

Ace was taken aback, then asked, "What...what choice?"

Garp looked serious and gave a thumbs up. "The first one is to join the G5 Navy, which is under Rorschach's command."

Ace turned his gaze to Rorschach, whose expression remained calm.

He didn't think Ace would choose the first one, so he remained completely unmoved.

"And the second one, old man?"

Garp's eyes were serious, and his expression was icy as he said, "The second one will be killed by me, or by Rorschach!"

Ace's pupils slowly widened, and he stood there stunned. He hadn't expected his old man's second option to turn out like this.

"Is...is this real?"

Ace was a little incredulous, and he knew a bit about his grandfather's strength—he was a Marine hero!

“That’s right, I made a promise with Rorschach before I resurrected you.”

"I have personally agreed to this. If you choose the second option, I will definitely kill you!"
