One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 49 The two men made their move again

Time flies, and the next morning...

While Rorschach was still fast asleep, he was suddenly pulled up by a tremendous force and violently shaken.

Feeling the immense force, Rorschach instantly opened his eyes, only to see Smoker shaking him with a serious expression.

When Rorschach saw Smoker shaking himself with a cigarette in his mouth, he immediately exploded.

"You bastard Smoker, do you want a beating?"

Rorschach's shoulders, which had been gripped, automatically detached from Smoker's grasp, and the clothes that had been held were shattered into ice fragments that automatically flew towards Rorschach.

Rorschach patted himself down, glaring angrily at Smoker, "You bastard Smoker, you're finished!"

"You dare disturb my sleep? You're finished!"

Smoker scoffed, "Hmph, I woke you up because Lieutenant General Gion told me you had some cigarettes that were just made yesterday. Give me a couple to smoke!"

Rorschach waved his hand, unleashing a burst of chilling energy. His right arm, like a giant snake, lunged at Smoker. "You damn Smoker, if you don't let me beat you up today, you're not leaving this room!"

The commotion quickly attracted all the marines in the branch, including Vice Admirals Gion and Garp.

But no one dared to enter Smoker's private room.

That's right, Rorschach slept in Smoker's room last night. As the base commander and the highest-ranking officer in the base, not a single marine dared to approach him.

"Hey, hey, hey, judging from the noise inside, it sounds like that brigadier general from headquarters is about to fight with our Smoker boss!"

"Nonsense, with so many people gathered together, they must have all heard what was going on inside."

"I wonder if Boss Smoker can win?"

"Not necessarily. The other party is a brigadier general, you know. I don't know what Boss Smoker did to provoke that kind-looking brigadier general into such a rage!"

Many marines were discussing who would win between Smoker and Rorschach, but most believed their own captain would win.

Unlike the noise outside, inside the room, Luo Xia's icy aura instantly froze the entire room, making it impossible for anyone to escape.

"You synthetic bastard, I'm going to beat you up today!"

"Ha, your fruit is useless to me!"

As he spoke, Rorschach activated his Ice-Ice Fruit again, instantly freezing his face, leaving only his eyes visible. From a distance, it looked as if Rorschach was wearing a mask.

"The Great Smoke Serpent".

Smoker was enveloped in smoke, and his arm transformed into a giant snake-like plume of smoke as he charged straight at Rorschach.

The smoke drifting through the air intentionally or unintentionally drifted into Rorschach's nose and mouth, but Smoker stared intently at the mask on Rorschach's face, deep in thought.

"Haha, I was prepared for this move. This is called a smoke mask!"

As the smoke serpent attacked, Rorschach waved his hand, and a huge ice shield blocked it, leaving the weak and powerless smoke serpent helpless.

Luo Xia's lips curled up slightly, and the icy blue light in his hand shone brightly. Chains formed from condensed cold air instantly appeared in his palm.

The chains hurtled towards Smoker, but the next second... The previously frozen door flew up and smashed into Rorschach.

Luo Xia slightly tilted his head to dodge the door that was smashing down.

Luo Xia looked up and saw two figures at the doorway.

"Old man, Sister Zhiyuan?"

Gion glared at Luo Xia, his eyes full of warning.

"Hmph, are you two trying to blow up this branch?"

Rorschach looked around and found that he had frozen the entire room. Some of the papers were cracked from the cold, and the office cabinets were covered in wood chips from the aftershocks of their battle.

The entire office was a mess, giving it a battle-damaged feel, as if it had been bombarded by artillery.

"See? You two bastards! If we don't stop you, are you going to blow up the whole base?"

Gion reprimanded her sternly for more than ten minutes.

At first, the two of them held their heads high, but now they both lowered their heads.

"Alright, get up, you two troublemakers! You're not behaving properly at headquarters, and you're still not behaving properly at the branch!"

After the two stood up, Rorschach curled his lip, and a flash of blue light appeared in his hand. Suddenly, piles of Beli appeared in the originally dilapidated office.

“Here, ten million Berries is more than enough to renovate the office!” Rorschach pointed to the pile of Berries in front of him.

Furthermore, Rorschach deliberately placed about a hundred cigarettes on top of the pile of money.

Smoker, who was about to refuse, actually nodded.

Smoker then released smoke from both hands and took the hundred-plus cigarettes at the top.

"Tashigi, where have you been?" Smoker's impatient voice came from behind.

"I'm coming!"

"Tashigi reporting for duty. What are your orders, Colonel Smoker?"

Smoker pointed to the pile of banknotes in front of Rorschach and said, "Take these banknotes and find a craftsman to restore my office to its original state!"

Tashigi glanced at the pile of Berries and swallowed hard before replying, "Yes, sir!"

The incident here quickly passed, and at this moment, Luo Xia and the other three were enjoying the food that Luo Xia had prepared for each other the day before in a cool place.

In particular, Smoker is now smoking a cigarette made by Rorschach, not a cigar.

"Rorschach, give me a few thousand more!"

Rorschach, who had been drinking and smoking, stood up instantly upon hearing Smoker's words, staring at Smoker with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"You damn chain smoker, do you know how many ingredients this requires?"

Smoker curled his lip. "It's okay, I've already asked Tashigi to buy it!"

"You just need to help me synthesize it, since you'll have to synthesize it back at headquarters anyway!"

Smoker seemed to see the expressions on the faces of his generals, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

But to Rorschach, that expression was nothing short of a blatant provocation.

Just then, a clear female voice said in their ears, "You two are both at fault this time, so you should write a self-criticism."

"However, because you resolved things so quickly, this incident was offset."

"If this happens again, you'll have to write a self-criticism, and this is a one-time exception!"

Rorschach and Smoker exchanged a glance, their eyes seeming to be accusing each other.

"report!"

Suddenly, a childish female voice rang out. The four turned around and saw that it was Tashigi from before, with four marines behind her pulling a pile of tobacco.

Tashigi was also holding a pair of sea stone handcuffs.

Tashigi held up the seastone handcuffs and handed them to Smoker.

Upon seeing this, Garp, Rorschach, and Gion immediately burst into laughter.

"Pfft, hahahaha!"

Rorschach pointed at Smoker and said, "Hey, that Smoker is a Devil Fruit user!"

"Why don't you just put it on the table?"

Upon hearing Rorschach's reminder, Tashigi slapped herself. "I'm sorry, Colonel Smoker, I forgot!"
