Portgas D. Haku

Garp: "Haku! Where the hell have you been, you brat!!!"

A roar from afar startled the figure sleeping soundly on a treetop, causing him to fall heavily!

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Haku, who landed headfirst, clutched the large bump on his head.

The commotion immediately alerted Garp, and with a flicker of movement, his fist, wrapped in faint Armament Haki, landed directly on Haku's head!

By the time Haku reacted, it was already too late to dodge.

Haku's head throbbed so much he wanted to roll on the ground. Falling from a tree would have only hurt for a while, but being hit by Garp's fist was different; it was imbued with advanced Armament Haki.

Seeing Garp about to strike again, Haku quickly shouted, "Ah! Old Man, are you crazy? Who hits their child with Haki?"

Seeing Garp throw another punch without holding back, Haku immediately surrendered: "I was wrong! I'll never dare to do it again!"

Garp roared, "Haku! You stinking brat! Your promises are worth nothing. You'll taste my Fist of Love first!!!"

Haku looked at Garp's menacing demeanor: "Stop, stop, stop! Old Man, I'll go, okay?"

Garp's expression immediately changed, and he patted Haku's shoulder, saying, "Hahaha! Haku, you truly are my most promising good grandson. Let's go! We're heading to Marineford right now!"

"I'll show that Sengoku fellow how outstanding my grandson is!" Garp's undisguised pride made Haku speechless.

He thought: Hey, hey, hey! Are you sure all my abilities were trained by you? Can you not be so shameless? And can you stop patting my shoulder? It hurts, you bastard!

Unfortunately, Garp couldn't read minds, or Haku would have received another 'Fist of Love.'

Haku stood up and reached into System Space, pulling out a Zanpakuto.

Garp was already accustomed to Haku's ability to produce items out of thin air. At first, he suspected it was Haku's Devil Fruit ability. Later, he discovered that Haku not only wasn't afraid of seawater but could even play with Seastone.

Although Garp was very suspicious of Haku's abilities, he kept it a secret to avoid unnecessary trouble!

Ding!

Quest Complete!

Quest Reward: Kido has been awarded.

As soon as Haku took out his Zanpakuto, the system's voice immediately sounded within him!

Haku felt a warm current flow through his body. This energy was specifically for activating Kido! All the incantations and techniques for Kido were etched into his mind.

An interface only he could see lit up before Haku's eyes. In the quest log section, a question mark had been placed next to "Cultivate Observation Haki to intermediate level."

Haku looked at his next mission: "Host, please head to Marineford and become the new Admiral!"

So that's it! Haku thought. This was his third system mission since arriving in this pirate world!

Haku's previous two missions were: first, to join the Marines and perfectly master Rokushiki, with the rewards corresponding to the Shinigami system's "fist" and "walk," which were Shave and Shunpo!

The second mission was the recently completed improvement of the Three Types of Haki. Haku had completed both and received Kido.

Now, coupled with the Zanpakuto [Ryujin Jakka] Haku received from the beginner's gift package when he first transmigrated.

This Zanpakuto was the strongest fire-type Zanpakuto! In the time Haku had been transmigrated, he had long since completely mastered Ryujin Jakka and could even use Bankai!

This meant Haku's strength had already reached the top tier. Now, he had the confidence to complete the mission of becoming a Marine Admiral!

As Haku headed to Marineford, Marine Headquarters was in an uproar!

The reason was simple: Garp had submitted a list of Admiral candidates, boasting that his grandson, Portgas D. Haku, was already capable of serving as an Admiral.

In the Marine Headquarters conference room, Akainu slammed the table, shouting, "What a joke! How old is that brat? How can he become an Admiral without any strength?!"

"Sakazuki, don't be impulsive. Since Garp is confident his grandson can serve as an Admiral, his strength must be recognized by Garp," Sengoku said calmly from the head seat.

Momousagi, sitting below, said with interest, "Garp's grandson, Haku? I wonder how strong he is?"

Chaton, sitting next to Momousagi, looked at the documents in his hand with disdain: "I'm not optimistic about Haku. The information on the table shows he's only 17? Is he some kind of rookie?"

Just then, Vice Admiral Tsuru suddenly spoke, "You guys shouldn't underestimate this kid Haku! He spent some time with Zephyr, and even Zephyr praised him highly! I think you know this, Sengoku."

Sengoku adjusted his toad-like glasses and nodded, "Both Zephyr and Garp are always talking about this kid! It's hard not to know him."

Honestly, even Sengoku wanted to meet Haku in person, knowing he was a young man who could elicit such praise from those two old friends.

Before Sengoku could speak again, Akainu interjected, "Hmph! Becoming an Admiral isn't easy. I'll take charge of assessing this kid's combat abilities. I don't think any of you have any objections, right?"

The conference room fell silent for a moment. Sengoku then frowned and said, "This part should be Kuzan's responsibility!"

Before Sengoku could finish, Akainu's gaze shifted to Aokiji, who was secretly dozing off.

Akainu said in an unquestionable tone, "Hey! Kuzan, let me handle the assessment of Haku's strength!"

Aokiji stretched lazily and glanced at the imposing Akainu. He mumbled with his characteristic slurred speech, "So troublesome! I'll leave it to you. This way, I can get more sleep."

"Hey, hey, hey! Who gave you permission to arbitrarily change my decision? Do you still have any respect for me as Fleet Admiral?" Sengoku complained.

At this moment, Kizaru, who had been slacking off, spoke up, "Speaking of which, according to the time, Vice Admiral Garp should be arriving soon, right?"

Everyone present was a top-tier figure in the Marines. Reminded by Kizaru, everyone focused their Observation Haki towards the port.

A dog-head warship was already docked at the port. An old man and a young man were slowly disembarking.

The old man wore a dog-head hat and was constantly eating senbei. The young man had a sword at his waist and was resting his head on his hands, looking around Marine Headquarters with curiosity.

Akainu's eyes narrowed, and his figure vanished from the conference room.

Haku, who was on his way to Headquarters Fortress, hadn't even reacted before he felt a palpable hostility directed at him!

Garp, standing beside Haku, picked his nose and said, "Oh? Is that Sakazuki? Why is he so aggressive?"
