Senga Is Here, No Surprises (Happy New Year, Everyone)

Inside the Fleet Admiral's Office, Sengoku looked at Corazon standing before him with a kind expression and spoke gently.

"Welcome back to the Navy, Rosinante."

Corazon was also deeply moved. This time he could be said to have escaped death. Ever since his father was shot and killed by his brother, he had become an orphan. It was Sengoku who took him in and became his adoptive father.

In Corazon's heart, Sengoku had become like a father to him. Sengoku taught him how to conduct himself, what justice was, and even led him to join the Navy, giving him combat abilities beyond those of ordinary people.

It could be said that the Sengoku allowed him to rediscover the meaning of his existence.

Thinking of this, Corazon opened his mouth with some difficulty, and said in a trembling voice,

"Long time no see, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I'm back!"

He really wanted to call Sengoku "father," but the title was too heavy for him. Whenever the word was mentioned, images of his father's death would flash through Corazon's mind, causing him unbearable pain.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back! We really owe Senga this time, you're my benefactor, and you're my benefactor too!"

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku..."

Corazon could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Soon, her face was covered in tears, and Corazon Sengoku also overwhelmed with emotion, his eyes welling up with tears as well.

Then, click!

"Sengoku! Some senbei, please! Huh?"

Garp pushed open the office door and peeked out. He was stunned by what he saw inside and remained frozen in place, still peeking out.

"Vice Admiral Garp, hello, long time no see, hehe."

Corazon quickly wiped his face, pretending to be nonchalant as he greeted Garp, though he looked somewhat embarrassed.

A large "well" shape appeared on Sengoku's forehead, veins bulging on his fists, and in a flash, he appeared next to Garp's head.

"You disrespectful brat! I don't have any rice crackers! And how many times have I told you to knock before entering my office?!"

After saying that, he punched Garp on the forehead, making a dull thud.

"I'll blanch it!"

It's clear that Sengoku harbored resentment towards Garp for a long time; this punch was arguably the most powerful he had ever thrown without using his Devil Fruit ability or Armament Haki.

I wonder how its power compares to the punch he Luffy on Luffy at Marineford?

Garp had been punched in the head by Sengoku, squatted on the ground, clutching his head. His features were contorted in pain, and anyone who saw him would know it hurt.

Sengoku stood in front of Garp, looking down at Garp who had been beaten to a pulp. He felt incredibly satisfied, as if his whole body was filled with power and he had instantly become ten years younger.

So, should we punch Garp first before each battle to build up our energy? Sengoku held up the fist he had just used to punch Garp in front of him, looking thoughtful.

"Damn it! Sengoku, how dare you hit me! This is the first time in all these years that you've hit me so hard! Very well! I'll remember this!"

Garp suddenly stood up from the ground, looking at Sengoku with a face full of grief and indignation. His eyes contained three parts grievance, two parts anger, and five parts disbelief. He was clearly an old fan-shaped figure.

"Hmph! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget."

Sengoku snorted dismissively and returned to his seat. When he looked up, he saw Corazon staring at him with a strange look.

Oh no! I was so angry with Garp that I almost lost control (furious). This is completely unlike how a Fleet Admiral should behave. My dignified image built up over the years, damn it!

The old man from the Sengoku blushed, coughed twice forcefully, and said with a serious expression,

"In short, you must remember Senga 'Vice Admiral life-saving grace. He not only saved you but also that child who is very important to you. This kind of kindness is something you can never repay in your lifetime!"

Upon hearing this, Corazon responded with utmost seriousness.

"I know, Fleet Admiral Sengoku. Although my strength is meager, I will not hesitate to give my life if Senga Vice Admiral Chiga needs me in the future!"

"No need to risk your life. Even Senga couldn't do it, so even if you gave your life, it wouldn't help."

"Forehead..."

Corazon felt a little awkward. He knew Sengoku was concerned about him, but his words sounded a bit strange.

"Alright, your undercover mission is complete. You've done a very good job. After this, I'll promote you to colonel. Go and rest."

"Yes!"

Corazon saluted, turned and walked out of the office, stealing a glance at Garp was still there holding his head and questioning his existence.

After Corazon left, Garp couldn't help but speak up.

"What did Senga do this time? Tell me."

"I didn't do anything, I certainly didn't drink tea or eat rice crackers in the office."

"Oh, I'm out of senbei. Could you give me some of yours?"

"Get out! I already told you, there aren't even any rice crackers left, not even the packaging!"

The next day, in a wasteland, Corazon interlaced his ten fingers, nervously watching Senga's back in the distance.

Xiao Luo stood awkwardly in front of Senga, not daring to look up at Senga.

On Sea Swallow Island, Law witnessed firsthand how Doflamingo and the Donquixote Family members were easily dealt with by Senga. Vergo, who arrived later, didn't even last a single move; it was practically suicide.

Although he was stunned by Kaido's Conqueror's Haki, Law eventually woke up and witnessed a spectacle that would forever shock him: a purple giant standing tall in the sky and a blue dragon coiled in the heavens.

Everything Senga displayed was something Law could never have dreamed of. It could be said that in Law's heart, Senga was no different from a god.

It would be impossible for Luo not to be nervous now that he was alone with the God in his heart.

Senga looked down at Luo, who had been standing there anxiously since earlier, and chuckled to herself. Was she really that scary, frightening a child like this?

Shaking his head, Senga bent down and reached out to touch Luo's head, startling Luo so much that he trembled all over.

Senga expressed his helplessness and could only speak in what he considered the gentlest voice.

"Don't be afraid, trust me, the treatment process will be painless and will be over in an instant."

"Yes, yes!"

"ROOM."

A small, semi-circular space enveloped Senga and Law. Corazon, watching from a distance, was also curious, completely failing to connect this ability with the Op-Op Fruit.

He only knew that the Op-Op Fruit could cure diseases, but he had never seen or understood how to use it or how its abilities manifested.

After scanning Luo's body, Senga saw that Luo's small body had already formed a human-shaped pattern, except that there were some irregular white patches in this pattern.

It seems that these white patches are the root cause of the Lead Disease. Having found the root cause, Senga did not hesitate for long. With a glare, the white patches in Luo's body were directly peeled out.

Senga took out a test tube, and the white patch that had been peeled off was transferred into the test tube, forming a small white paste-like substance. This disease is still quite terrifying, so it's best to be careful.

After all, good health is a person's most precious asset! (Wishing everyone good health in the new year!)
