Meeting with Dragon
"Ah! Haku, it's you!" Garp said with a smile the moment he saw Haku.
"Wait a minute, you brat, what are you doing here???" Garp finally realized what was happening.
Haku said nonchalantly, "I have some mission in the East Blue, so I just came over to check it out."
"Hmph!" Garp glared at Haku with displeasure, then sat down next to Haku.
"Mr. Garp, I don't have any tea here! Would you like some other drinks?" As she spoke, Makino pushed a drink toward Garp.
"It doesn't matter, I don't care what I drink!" Garp said nonchalantly.
"Speaking of which, there's nothing important in the East Blue that requires your attention, right? Why would Sengoku have assigned you to this place?" Garp said, finishing his drink.
Makino and the Village Chief thought the conversation would involve naval secrets, so they decided to leave for a moment.
Haku waved her hand, because it wasn't something that couldn't be said.
Haku said, "They're saying Alabasta is being harassed by Pirates, and now they've specifically asked me to go and deal with it!"
Garp said nonchalantly, "You sound like you're in a hurry? Aren't you going over now?"
Haku smiled and said, "What Pirates invasion? It was clearly caused by those Shichibukai. The King summoned me there just to use my absence as a distraction!"
"Looks like you've decided what to do, right?" Garp said.
"I know! But there's no rush," Haku said nonchalantly.
He then finished his drink, said goodbye to Garp and the others, left the bar, and headed up the mountain!
Not long after reaching the hillside, Haku's eyes soon spotted a Small Wooden Hut cabin.
As Haku approached, faint groans could be heard coming from inside the house!
Haku lifted the curtain and walked in. Looking at the familiar Bandits before her, she said, "Dadan, long time no see!"
"You... you... you..." Dadan recognized him the instant she saw Haku!
"But you guys are really having a tough time, aren't you? Looks like the old man didn't hold back much," Haku said with a smile.
"You brat, you've come here just like Garp..." Dadan already looked resigned to her fate.
A white light emanated from Haku's hand! He walked towards Dadan.
Seeing Haku backing away, Dadan said nervously, "You brat, you... you really want to do it?!"
As Dadan retreated back against the wall, the light emanating from Haku's hand enveloped him.
Before long, Garp's superficial injuries to Dadan and the others had all healed.
Haku laughed and said, "I lived with you for quite a while, how can you not trust me?"
At this moment, a Young Bandits said, "Now who on the Sea doesn't know your infamous reputation! Your name is renowned even in the East Blue!"
"Haha! I didn't expect I to be so famous," Haku said with a laugh.
In fact, whether they were Pirates, Bandits, or other notorious Criminals, they had all heard of Haku's reputation!
The main reason for Haku's current reputation is that, according to legend at sea, very few Pirates who fall into Haku's hands are left alive!
Dadan said, "It's good that you're all gone now; at least my life as a nanny is finally over!"
Haku smiled, and then listened to Dadan's rambling.
Dadan recounted everything about Ace and Luffy to Haku!
It's clear that although Dadan verbally expressed various complaints, she genuinely cares about Luffy and the others.
After fully treating these people, Haku didn't say much. After leaving the Small Wooden Hut, he waved goodbye to Dadan and the others.
Haku continued walking uphill, and soon he stopped in a Dense Forest.
"Long time no see, Haku!"
Haku turned her head and saw that the dragon had emerged from behind a tree!
"You haven't seen the old man in a long time, why don't you go and see him?" Haku said with a smile.
And his smile carried a malicious intent!
Dragon's face stiffened; of course he knew that his father, Garp, was still in Foosha Village!
He believed that if his whereabouts were exposed, Garp would definitely track him down.
"Alright, enough with the small talk. You didn't come all this way just to see me, did you?" Haku said.
He knew that after this meeting, Dragon would probably go to Loguetown and wait for Luffy over!
Dragon's expression turned serious. He said, "I know your mission this time is in Alabasta. I want you to complete your mission there and, while you're at it, also help us make contact with King Cobra!"
"What! It seems you know about the problem over there too!" Haku asked curiously.
Dragon nodded and said, "Baroque Works over there is quite active, so I want to bring Alabasta to the Revolutionary Army Here!"
"Then why did you come to me? Don't forget I'm still Marine Admiral!" Haku said, pursing her lips.
What a joke! Haku has no desire to do something so thankless and exhausting!
Ryu guessed Haku's thoughts and said, "You know the Revolutionary Army's current state. If we want to accomplish these things, we need the support of some countries!"
"Stop, stop, stop! What do you mean 'we'? Don't play word games with me!" Haku rolled her eyes and said.
Long smiled, having already accepted Haku as one of them.
Therefore, he pretended not to hear Haku's rebuttal!
Haku continued, "The Nefertari Family was one of the twenty royal families back then. Although they refused to move to Mary Geoise, it doesn't mean they'll join the Revolutionary Army so easily!"
Long laughed and said, "How do you know they won't join us if you don't try? I have complete faith in you."
"Hey, hey, hey! That's so rude! I didn't even agree to this. How can you act like you've already decided for me? Isn't that a bit unreasonable?" Haku said, dissatisfied.
Long laughed and said, "But you didn't refuse, right? I'll take that as a yes!"
As he spoke, the dragon transformed into a gentle breeze and vanished from the spot!
Haku was going to refuse, but the dragon was so cunning that he just ran away!
He stood there dumbfounded, and finally could only sigh and say, "Is it really okay for an organization leader to be so shameless?"
Haku's body Elementalization and disappeared from the spot, and she quickly returned to the deck of the Ark!
"Confirm the number of people! We'll depart in half an hour!" Haku immediately instructed upon returning to the Ark.
