Then You'll Know How Much That Fist Hurts!

"You old bastard! You betrayed me again!" Haku cursed under her breath.

He knew it was too late to leave now, so he could only put on a smile and greet the approaching Sengoku.

"You brat, it's you!" Sengoku glared at Haku.

Sengoku wasn't surprised that the other party would come to Marineford, since Haku had already given prior notice!

Haku touched her head and smiled, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, it's been a long time!"

Sengoku stood there, looking at Haku, a shrewd glint in his eyes. "You brat, don't try to change the subject. Since you're the one who damaged this Harbor, the repair work is yours."

Haku's face stiffened, and she said urgently, "Hey! No, this Harbor damage wasn't caused by me. You should be looking for my old man!"

Sengoku smiled slyly and said, "Aren't you the only one here? Since the damage to the Harbor was caused by your grandfather Garp, then it's even more your responsibility to clean it up!"

Haku looked at Sengoku helplessly; he knew he had been tricked.

"Hey! I'm telling you, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, this isn't how the navy operates!" Haku said with a pained expression.

Sengoku crossed his arms and looked at Haku: "This is how our navy operates. You brat, you damaged the Harbor, you repair it. Don't try to renege. If you don't fix it, then I'll have no choice but to...!"

Haku nearly bit her tongue; she hadn't expected Sengoku to pull this trick.

"You win!" Haku said viciously.

Sengoku quickly left the Harbor; as the Fleet Admiral, he had plenty to do!

With the help of the Marine at the Harbor, Haku quickly got started on cement work!

Not long after Garp Sengoku, Garp secretly returned to the Harbor.

"Kid! You should know about Ace, right?" Garp said to Haku while eating a donut, standing next to Haku.

Haku paused slightly when Garp uttered those words.

He nodded slightly and then continued working.

Garp narrowed his eyes slightly, sat down next to Haku, and said, "That kid is your brother, after all. Do you really want him to become the Sea like this?"

Haku used her Spiritual Power to wrap the rubble and move it to an open space, saying, "Would it work? You've seen how arrogant that kid is. Even if I used force to suppress him, he wouldn't change his mind!"

"The reason that kid is like this is because of his dead father!"

Garp snorted coldly, "If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have taken Ace with me when I took you away!"

Haku glanced at Garp and said, "Old man! If I wasn't afraid of you hitting me with your 'love fist,' do you think I would have joined the Navy with you back then?"

"Hahaha"

Garp immediately punched Kata, giving him a big bump on the head!

He continued, "I knew it! My Fist of Love still works. Look at you, you still obediently came with me back then!"

Haku was caught off guard and punched like that.

The Pain in his head made him gasp!

He angrily said, "You old geezer! If this keeps up, believe me, I'll defect to the Navy any minute now!"

This statement left the navy personnel who had come to help and assist them bewildered!

They were clearly taken aback by Haku's words!

Garp sneered, his fist gleaming with visible energy.

He cracked his knuckles and said, "Kid! You dare?"

"I'm sorry! I was wrong, please be lenient, sir!" Haku immediately admitted defeat.

"Hahaha! This is my good grandson!" Garp said, his serious tone completely changed, patting Haku's shoulder repeatedly.

Haku twitched the corner of his mouth because his shoulder was sore from being patted by Garp!

The Marine, watching the grandfather and grandson's daily interactions, were momentarily stunned and didn't quite grasp what was happening!

"Hey! I think I just heard Admiral Haku say something about defecting from the Navy?"

"Idiot! That was just Admiral Haku joking. Didn't you see him backing down to Vice Admiral Garp?"

"Seriously, does Vice Admiral Garp's punch really hurt that much? I have a feeling that Admiral Haku is genuinely afraid of that punch?"

"Hey kid, you're a new recruit?"

"Yes! I just joined recently!"

"Oh! You'll see how painful it is to get punched like that later!"

"???"

After all that commotion, Garp started helping Haku repair the Harbor!

Garp asked, "You brat, since you're letting Ace continue being Pirates, aren't you afraid that the two of you will clash in the future?"

Haku laughed and said, "Do you think that kid can beat me?"

Garp shook his head; even he couldn't see how much Haku's strength had grown.

There's absolutely no way Ace could beat Haku!

Haku continued, "If we ever really do end up facing off, I promise I'll leave that kid alive!"

Garp suddenly spoke up, "I have a feeling you're hiding something from me, you brat?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Haku, seemingly casually.

Haku thought to herself: This old man's intuition is really sharp; he can even detect this.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. In this world, only the old man who has lived with him for so long truly understands him!

Haku chuckled and said, "How could that be? I've been incredibly busy ever since I took over the G5 Base! I certainly wouldn't have the time to hide anything from you."

Garp snorted coldly. It was better that Haku hadn't said anything. Now that he'd mentioned it, he knew the kid was indeed hiding something!

However, even though Haku isn't saying anything now, Garp is also thinking about how to get Haku to talk!

Judging from Garp's expression, Haku knew he was up to no good!

He changed the subject, saying, "Old man, Luffy's almost seventeen, isn't he?"

Garp nodded. "I think so, what's wrong?"

Haku looked at Garp: "Aren't you worried that kid will end up like Ace? I remember that brat was tricked by Red-Haired into wanting to be the Pirate King!"

Garp frowned slightly; he did indeed have high expectations for his grandson, Luffy.

The only slightly troublesome thing is that Luffy just happens to want to be a Pirates!

In the end, Garp blamed everything on Shanks, cursing, "That Red-Haired brat! Next time we meet, I'll drag him to Impel Down!"

Thousands of miles away, Shanks, who was still partying and reveling, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He had a feeling that something was watching him.
