I Am Really Lucky

"Ding! Side Quest triggered."

The system, which had been almost nonexistent, suddenly came back to life and issued a quest.

Huh? There are side quests?

"Quest: Capture the pirate Portgas D. Ace.

Level: C

Reward: Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation, Three Tomoe Sharingan, 800 Mission Points.

This is a side quest and can be refused. Do you refuse?"

Hiss, seeing the reward, Rodney gasped. Not only Great Fire Annihilation, but the Three Tomoe Sharingan was also a reward. If exchanged with mission points, it would be three thousand points for a Single Tomoe. To be rewarded with Three Tomoe Sharingan directly, this quest must be accepted!

"Alright, I accept. But since he's your grandson, I'll need Seastone as insurance."

What if Ace had eaten the Flame-Flame Fruit by now? Logia is a bug, how would he deal with it?

"Greedy Kid, Old Man never uses Seastone. I'm back for a vacation, where would I get Seastone? Besides, you don't need it to deal with Ace," Garp said.

Judging by his reaction, Ace hadn't eaten the Flame-Flame Fruit yet. The original work also didn't show when Ace ate the Flame-Flame Fruit, so a trip should be feasible.

"Do you have his Vivre Card?" Rodney asked.

"If I had it, would I still need you?"

So reasonable. He sighed and said, "Fine, I'll find a way to catch him."

This quest must be completed.

Three Tomoe Sharingan, and Madara's Great Fire Annihilation. Speaking of which, with such rewards, it's only C?

"Which of the Six Powers will you teach me?"

"Hmm, Soru. Old Man will teach you. Whether you can learn it depends on yourself."

Next, Rodney's life continued to be worse than death.

Half a month later

Loguetown

Rodney walked down the street wearing Marine Soldier clothes. He hadn't joined the Marines; it was just that all his clothes were gone, so he had to wear the ship's clothes.

Meeting Garp was really lucky, and also a bit unlucky.

Is this retribution for bullying Sea Kings?

Although Soru was learned, it still takes time to master. Garp's Hellish Training greatly increased his physique, and he could open the Eight Inner Gates to the Second Gate.

Then, he asked Garp for a Small Boat, caught a Sea King, and used it to speed up his journey.

It took him a week to reach Loguetown.

This was mainly because Garp's Route and his own were in opposite directions. He was heading to Loguetown from Syrup Village, while Garp was traveling from Loguetown to the Kingdom of Goa. Their routes were completely opposite.

So, he switched several Sea Kings and, Working Day and Night, finally arrived at Loguetown.

The system had Built-in Positioning. Ace had not yet left the East Blue and was heading this way, so all he needed to do was Wait for a Hare here.

"Mr. Joestar?"

Hearing someone call him, he turned his head and saw Tashigi.

"Lieutenant Tashigi, what's the matter? You seem to be in a hurry."

"We received a report that someone dined and dashed at Uncle Frank's restaurant. He's a Pirate, so I'm going to handle it. I can't talk now, I have to go immediately." Tashigi finished speaking and left with her team.

Who is it? How dare they dine and dash in Loguetown? They've got some nerve.

Rodney prepared to follow and join the fun.

Watching the show was human nature. There was no way around it; it was deeply ingrained in Rodney's DNA and couldn't be changed. Watching the show was the most interesting thing.

On the streets of Loguetown, a group of people were running wildly. On the shoulder of one person, a man wearing an Orange Cowboy Hat was carried. He was shirtless, and snot bubbles were expanding and contracting, clearly indicating he was asleep.

"Captain is asleep again, so we don't have money?" a man carrying a gun said.

"It's normal for the Captain to eat and sleep. Besides, we always dine and dash; it's the Captain's habit!" the man with Blue Hair replied, looking back.

He glanced at the pursuers behind them and said, "Run faster, the Marines are here! They're not like Lieutenant Itsuka, who likes the Captain. Run! We'll reach the harbor soon."

"Sorry, this road is blocked!" Thanks to Garp's training, Rodney's speed had increased significantly. He overtook everyone and arrived in front of them.

"Who are you?"

"Get out of the way!"

A Fatty directly charged at him, but Rodney jumped up and punched him on the forehead.

"Bill!"

Rodney looked at his fist. This feeling... was so satisfying!

"Marines, get out of the way!" the man carrying the gun immediately aimed at him and fired.

Rodney dodged and leaped, quickly appearing before the group and knocking one person down with a punch.

"Shadow Leaf Dance!"

"Konoha Whirlwind!"

"Konoha Great Whirlwind!"

He kicked down several more people in succession. Just as he was about to kick the next person, his leg was caught by a hand.

"Sorry, I can't let you bully my crew anymore," said a freckled young man, his palm radiating intense heat.

Shocked, Rodney quickly retreated. He saw flames erupting from the other person's palm.

A Logia Fruit, the Flame-Flame Fruit!

Rodney's expression turned grim. He hadn't expected his luck to be so good, encountering his target so quickly. Even less did he expect Ace to have already eaten a Devil Fruit.

Portgas D. Ace!

"Sorry, I just woke up. Deuce, how is everyone?" Ace asked the blue-haired youth beside him.

Masked Deuce, the Spade Pirates' ship doctor.

"Just superficial wounds. It'll be hard for them to wake up within three hours," Deuce said calmly.

"Then it's fine. Everyone, take the unconscious people to the ship. I'll handle this," Ace said, looking at Rodney with a serious expression.

Rodney ignored Ace's crew members. His mission was to take Ace to Garp.

"Then Captain, be careful yourself," Deuce said, trusting Ace's strength and not worrying that he would be defeated here.

Logia Fruits were unbeatable in the first half of the Grand Line and the Four Seas, so there was no need to worry about Ace. They would only be a hindrance to him here.

"Portgas D. Ace, your grandfather sent me to capture you. Surrender now." What good luck. Setting up the tracking was something he did a few days ago, and he didn't expect Ace to arrive here so soon.

"No, I won't go back! I don't want to see that old man!" Ace shouted. "You can't stop me. Cain!"

An arm transformed into a pillar of fire, charging towards Rodney.

"Earth Style: Mud Wall!"

Unlike Kakashi, he didn't carve dog heads onto the Mud Wall when he was out of chakra. It was just a simple, unadorned wall.

The pillar of fire crashed into the Mud Wall, destroying it.

"Damn it, there are too many people here! What do you think you're doing?!" Rodney couldn't stand this guy using area-of-effect attacks here. What if innocent people were harmed?

"My apologies." Ace immediately apologized. Rodney seized the opportunity and lunged forward, punching Ace on top of the head.

One punch smashed Ace's head off, but unfortunately, the wound was covered in flames.

"How despicable! You actually ambushed me!" Ace's headless body retreated, horrifyingly, flames surged, and his head reappeared.

"No Haki, Logia is indeed unsolvable. No wonder Haki was added later." Muttering, he now felt his hands were tied. How could he fight?

Flame attacks were clearly ineffective against this guy. Crucially, with ninjutsu and Taijutsu, what offensive means did he have now?

Explosive Tags could only delay him; even if blown up, he would regenerate.

Seeing Rodney didn't attack again, Ace smiled and said, "Step aside, you can't beat me."

"He can't beat you, but I can. White Snake!" A white mist rushed out, with a leather glove at the forefront, clenched into a fist and striking Ace.

Ace jumped to dodge the punch and landed on a rooftop. He saw a white-clad man striding over, his entire right arm made of smoke, silver pompadour, wearing a white biker jacket that was unzipped, revealing solid muscles. The word "Justice" was emblazoned on his back. He held a cigar in his mouth, his face fierce, looking more like a pirate than a pirate.

Marine Headquarters Colonel, Smoker!

"Oh, you've arrived at the perfect time, Colonel Smoker. Vice Admiral Garp asked me to bring his grandson back. Lend me a hand, will you?"

"Vice Admiral Garp's grandson?" Smoker was taken aback, then snorted, "Even Vice Admiral Garp's grandson should be thrown in prison. How could I hand him over?"

Rodney shrugged, knowing this was a serious man, and said, "Then let's capture him first."

Smoker's Jitte had Seastone embedded at its tip, the bane of Devil Fruit Users.
