After being slapped by Garp, Zephyr's hand trembled violently as if he had Parkinson's disease, and the fish that was about to take the bait got away.
Zephyr turned his head abruptly, about to explode in anger, but when he saw Senga, his face immediately brightened, and he exclaimed with delight,
"Senga?! You're back!"
Kizaru shuddered, put down his fishing rod, slowly turned around, and feigned a delighted expression as he spoke.
"Fleet Admiral Senga, what a coincidence to run into you here! What a... uh, what a coincidence!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Akainu and Aokiji, muttering to himself,
"Looks like these two are being watched too. Will they get their wages docked later?"
Senga greeted the two with a smile, making no mention of Kizaru fishing during work hours, which greatly relieved Kizaru.
After chatting briefly with Zephyr, upon learning that Senga was also there to fish, Zephyr sized Senga up and asked,
"Where's your fishing gear? Are you planning to just go straight into the sea to catch fish? That would take away a lot of the fun!"
Senga raised her hand, and several large pieces of gold appeared on the ground. Kizaru's sunglasses gleamed with gold. He swallowed hard. Good heavens, any one of these pieces of gold was worth half a year's salary for him.
Next, Senga controlled the gold to float in mid-air, and with a Lightning Metallurgy, the gold turned into golden fishing rods, and even the fishing lines were made of gold.
Everyone was given a set of golden equipment, and when Senga gave it to Kizaru, he added a special note.
"You don't need to hand in your fishing rods or anything after you're done fishing; consider this a gift I prepared for everyone."
Senga's generosity moved Kizaru to tears. If Kaido hadn't reformed, he could be heading to Wano Country right now to put on a light show for Kaido.
After baiting their hooks, everyone sat down on the ground and began their leisurely fishing time.
However, fishing was clearly too "refined" for Luffy. He couldn't sit still for long because he felt like he was covered in ants.
In the end, it was Garp who delivered a genuine "Iron Fist of Love" to calm him down.
The Three Admirals each had their own unique way of fishing. Kizaru, for example, pulled out nail clippers and started trimming his already impeccably manicured nails while fishing.
Aokiji had already pulled down his blindfold and drifted off to sleep in the gentle sea breeze.
Only Akainu stared intently at the distant buoy, lighting a cigar with his ability. He sat there, cigar in his mouth, exuding the air of a big shot.
Garp raised his hand and picked his nose, then reached out with the same hand he had used to pick his nose towards Sengoku.
"Sengoku, did you bring any senbei? Give me two!"
Sengoku dodged away with a look of disgust, and said irritably,
"You didn't bring any! Can't you bring your own? You always steal from me!"
"What's wrong with me giving you a few rice crackers when we're such good friends? You're so stingy! Next time I'll just take your little lamb!"
"What?! You really were eyeing my sheep! I'm warning you, you'd better give up that idea now, or I'll make sure you ruin your reputation in your old age!"
"Pshaw! Who cares about your little lamb? You could pluck it and there wouldn't be any meat left. Besides, you feed it weird stuff all the time. I wouldn't dare eat it!"
So the two old men started debating whether or not a lamb was edible, while Zephyr, standing to the side, said helplessly...
"You two are really regressing as you get older. Can't you act like elders at all?"
Senga waved his hand. He quite liked this atmosphere; it was good that everyone could go their separate ways now that the world had settled down.
Moreover, in other worlds, once the war ends, there will inevitably be a power struggle and other conflicts, but in the navy, that won't happen at all; everyone will simply return to the life they originally loved most.
This is also what Senga likes most about the Marines in the One Pirate World; at least there aren't any troublemakers like Danzo, which makes things much more pleasant.
In just a short while, Hawk Eyes had already reaped quite a harvest; the basket next to him was already half full.
Zoro had just become Hawk Eyes's apprentice, was no match for him; his staff was as steady as a mountain, without swaying an inch.
Hawk Eyes glanced at Zoro, who was scratching his head in frustration, and said calmly,
"Fishing is like practicing swordsmanship; you must have a calm mind. And as a swordsman, you must master fishing when you go out to sea alone in the future. It's a very practical skill."
Senga nodded to himself, thinking that with Zoro's god-like terrible sense of direction, if he went out to sea on his own, he might drift at sea for days. If he didn't catch some fish, he might really starve to death at sea.
Upon hearing about sword practice, Zoro immediately sat up straight and appeared less agitated.
Hawk Eyes nodded approvingly. He then looked at the fish basket next to Senga and found it was still empty. A smile immediately appeared on his lips.
"Senga, it seems your luck isn't so good. Do you need me to share a few fish with you later?"
Senga raised an eyebrow. This was blatant provocation. He gripped his fishing rod and said,
"You're speaking too soon. Maybe this one dish will be enough for us to eat for a week."
Hawk Eyes shrugged, giving me a "I don't believe you" look.
However, Senga wasn't exaggerating; he stretched out the fishing line very long, and once a fish took the bait, it would definitely be a big one.
While the two were talking, Garp actually caught a giant turtle, which excited him greatly. He immediately turned around and shouted to Luffy,
"Luffy! Look what Grandpa caught!?"
Luffy, true to his reputation as Garp's grandson, picked his nose and looked over, saying something indifferently.
"It's just a turtle! Can't you calm down? It's not even a piece of your tooth that's going to get stuck in it!"
A turtle slowly slid down Luffy's face, leaving deep imprints of the turtle's belly patterns on his face.
Ace and Sabo shuddered, thinking to Luffy, " Duffy, why did you provoke him?"
Just then, Senga's rod finally moved. His eyes sharpened; judging from the force, a big fish had taken the bait.
He didn't use any of his senses to find out what he had caught; he wanted that sense of the unknown.
Moreover, given Senga's physical strength, he could pull up even a giant Sea King summoned by Shirahoshi with just one finger. No matter how big the fish is, as long as the line can support it, he can pull it up.
Just to be on the safe side, Senga directly added Armament Haki to the pole and line, which immediately attracted everyone else's attention.
With a single-handed pull, Senga suddenly yanked, and a plump figure rose into the air from the distant sea.
Once the prey landed, Senga looked closely and exclaimed in surprise,
Jinbe!?
