One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 228 Rolling the Dice

Zhiyuan hurriedly asked with concern, "Luo Xia, are you alright?"

Rorschach shook his head, looked at Garp and Sengoku lying on the ground in the distance, scratched his head and said, "Oops, I accidentally used too much force."

Sengoku scrambled to his feet, his eyes wide, and exclaimed, "You little brat, you have all of that guy's abilities?"

Rorschach rolled his eyes at Sengoku. "Isn't it normal for me to have the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power?"

Garp laughed loudly: "This attack really caught me off guard. Even I was knocked down."

"It's all because you spoke so loudly, otherwise I wouldn't have been sent flying by that brat!"

“Sengoku, you’re weaker than me, it’s only right that you were defeated!” Garp retorted.

"you……"

At this moment, Burgess, who was tied up, had his eyes shining: "If we can tell the captain this secret, wouldn't we get the Tremor-Tremor Fruit that the captain has always wanted?"

Rorschach noticed his thoughts, walked up to Bages, and kicked him in the head, saying, "Stop dreaming."

Luo Xia scratched his head and turned to ask, "By the way, what were those two old guys arguing about here just now?"

"It's nothing, I just remember the marshal had something important to tell you!"

Hearing what Gion said, Luo Xia turned his head expressionlessly and asked, "Hey, Marshal, is there something you want to tell me?"

Sengoku cleared his throat and said, "Rorschach, the Straw Hat crew is in Dressrosa now."

Luo Xia raised an eyebrow. "What does that have to do with me?"

"You don't expect me to go and arrest those guys, do you?"

Garp stared intently at Sengoku, his eyes seeming to carry a warning.

"Because of the World Government, in order to prevent the Straw Hat crew from becoming the next Yonko-like pirate crew, the World Government ordered us to capture the entire Straw Hat crew."

Rorschach crossed his arms and scoffed, "That's their world government's business. What does it have to do with me?"

Sengoku gave a wry smile. "After all, you're still in the navy, although I don't want to go and capture you either."

“But if I don’t arrest him, then next time it will be the World Government who will arrest him.”

Rorschach pouted, his face full of resistance. "Anyway, I don't care. Besides, my G5 branch isn't under the World Government's jurisdiction. They haven't given me a single penny!"

"Secondly, I'm not a general, so there's no need for me to listen to those rubbish people!"

"Thirdly, I can't beat old man Garp, and I don't want to get beaten up in front of so many people!"

Upon hearing Rorschach's words, Garp burst into laughter, "That's right, that's right, this kid's meaning is exactly what I mean."

Sengoku sighed helplessly, "Rorschach, are you really not going to reconsider?" Rorschach shook his head firmly, "There's nothing to reconsider, I'll just do things my way."

"If you really have no one else to use, you can ask Fujitora to go and get them, right?"

"After all, he's the only general on this island!"

Sengoku rubbed his temples. "Fujitora is a very undisciplined guy. Who knows if he'll follow orders?"

Luo Xia shrugged. "That's none of my business."

Sengoku had anticipated Rorschach's answer, but there was nothing he could do now but go find Fujitora.

As Sengoku walked toward Fujitora, Kaprosha, Gion, and the other two followed.

Sengoku approached Fujitora, but before he could speak, Fujitora declared, "I'm not going!"

Sengoku's eyes widened. "Fujitora, how can you be so willful? This is a mission assigned from above!"

Fujitora gently shook his head. "Marshal, you know my principles. I don't want to get involved in this pointless pursuit. The Straw Hat crew hasn't done anything to harm the people."

"On the contrary, the Straw Hat crew is the ones who saved Dressrosa from disaster."

Luo Xia smiled and said, "General Fujitora is indeed insightful."

Garp patted Fujitora on the shoulder, "Haha, as expected of someone I have high hopes for."

Gion glanced at everyone and said softly, "So what do we do now? The World Government certainly won't let this go."

Luo Xia patted Gion on the shoulder and laughed, "It's alright, don't worry. Anyway, it's Marshal Sengoku's business, it has nothing to do with us!"

"That's true!"

Sengoku glared at Rorschach, then his face fell. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "No, we must capture the Straw Hat crew!"

At that moment, Vice Admiral Tsuru walked over with his hands behind his back. "If Fujitora won't go, then Sengoku, you go!"

"After all, your body is in its prime right now. Back then, that kid Rorschach made you decades younger!"

Sengoku gave a wry smile. "Don't you understand Garp?"

"If I dare to make a move, he will definitely stop me!"

Garp laughed heartily, "That's right, that's right. I can't just stand by and watch when they bully the younger generation."

Just when everyone was at a loss, Luo Xia snapped his fingers, and two dice made of spatial power appeared in front of them.

Sengoku looked at the dice in front of him with a suspicious expression and asked, "What kind of bad idea have you come up with this time, kid?"

"Marshal, don't talk nonsense! I've come up with a great idea for you!"

"We can definitely resolve the current situation."

"Then tell me." Sengoku stroked his chin, staring intently at Luo Xia.

Luo Xia grinned and said slowly, "Isn't Admiral Fujitora a gambler?"

"My gambling is just a hobby, not something I'm a hardcore gambler. Don't make things up, Lieutenant General Qinglong!"

Luo Xia waved his hand, "It's okay, it's all the same!"

"Actually, we can do this: the Marshal and Fujitora can make a bet, and whoever wins gets to decide the outcome!"

"How is it?" Luo Xia looked at the two expectantly.

Sengoku and Fujitora exchanged a glance, and Fujitora spoke first: "It's not that it's impossible, it's just that the contents of this bet..."

Luo Xia laughed and said, "It's simple, just see who rolls the highest number on the dice, best of three."

Zhan Guo frowned: "This is too easy."

Luo Xia shrugged: "If you two don't think it's a good idea, I'll think of something else."

Fujitora said, "Let's go with this one. It's simple and straightforward."

Sengoku nodded helplessly: "Alright, let's begin then."

In the first round, Sengoku rolled the dice first, and the number was five. Fujitora then rolled his, and surprisingly, it was a six.

Sengoku's face darkened: "You got lucky this round."

In the second round, Sengoku threw the dice with all his might, and the dice stopped, showing a six.

Fujitora smiled slightly, tossed the die gently, and it came to a steady stop, showing four points.

Sengoku clenched his fist, a look of excitement on his face.

"Marshal, this is the last round we have left. It all depends on your luck."

At the start of the third round, Sengoku took a deep breath, threw the dice, and got a six.

Fujitora calmly made his move, and the dice stopped rolling, revealing a five.

Sengoku laughed and said, "Fujitora, it seems I've won this round."

Fujitora sighed helplessly, "Fine, fine, I'll listen to you."

Luo Xia said, "So, Marshal Sengoku, what do you mean?"

Sengoku said solemnly, "The Straw Hat Pirates, arrest them in three days!"

Fujitora nodded calmly. "Okay, that's fine!"
