What are your thoughts on transmigrating to the One Piece World?

If you interviewed thousands of transmigrators, most would answer like this.

"Get stronger, then stand at the peak of the world!"

"Bring peace to the world, sail the seas, and live life to the fullest!"

"Overthrow the World Government, defeat the Celestial Dragons!"

"Girls, all girls are mine! White stockings, black socks, little leather whips!"

But the fun of transmigrating to the One Piece World is definitely not limited to this. In Ron's eyes, appreciating the scenery different from Earth, experiencing the local customs and traditions, witnessing the wonders of the islands, and the reasons he joined the Marines – getting stronger – are all part of the fun.

Besides, uncovering the truths hidden by the original story and revealing those unknown secrets is an even greater pleasure!!!

The question, "Who is Garp's wife?" is equivalent in Ron's eyes to "What secrets are hidden in 'One Piece'!"

Because these are things that tens of thousands of One Piece fans on Earth don't know!

To be able to discover them himself, that sense of accomplishment... it's truly exhilarating!

Perhaps because Ron's gaze was a little too intense, Queen Rosa turned her head and asked, "Sir, do you have any questions?"

At the same time, she impatiently withdrew her hand from Garp's frozen grip and let out a soft "hmph."

Rosa didn't know Ron, but she knew the significance of being able to stand to Garp's right. She didn't underestimate him just because he was dressed as a grunt.

Regarding this, the gossip in Ron's eyes almost erupted, and he blurted out, "Of course, it's about you and Garp..."

BOOM!!!

The next second, a thick cloud of dust exploded on the spot! Sand and stones flew, and thick smoke billowed, reaching a height of over ten meters!

The citizens were immediately terrified and uneasy, not knowing what had happened. Fortunately, Queen Rosa immediately signaled to her guards to calm the people, and the commotion was quickly quelled.

Looking at Garp, who was kneeling on one knee after the dust settled, his fist embedded in the ground, and the lightning, which was crawling all over the ground and jumping and leaping like sprites, Queen Rosa smiled faintly.

"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit that disappeared for hundreds of years? No wonder you think so highly of him..."

"Pfft, haha..."

Even Garp's hearty laughter had a dry moment. He gritted his teeth, his smile looking worse than a cry, and said to Rosa, "This kid is on his first voyage and doesn't know the rules. I hope Your Majesty will not mind."

He hadn't used Armament Haki, otherwise Ron would have been smashed into meat paste with one punch.

However, even though he had escaped death, Garp had no intention of letting him have peace in the coming days… Anyone could hear the killing intent in that sentence!

"It's nothing. Even the most beautiful flower is born from an ugly seed, and even the most beautiful jade needs careful carving by a craftsman."

Watching Ron, who was trembling with fear, transform from lightning back into his physical form and hide behind the ashen-faced Traine, Rosa said indifferently, "I think the welcome ceremony is about over. Let's return to the palace."

"Yes!"

The reason the Queen came to Summer Domain Port to welcome the Marine visitors was not only because the climate was mild and the sea was calm, suitable for docking, but also because her palace was at the foot of the mountain at the end of Summer Domain.

West Island was somewhat similar to Drum Island, with a tall, straight snow-capped mountain in the center. However, Drum Island only had a single peak, which was ordinary. The snow-capped mountain on West Island, named Mount Saint Gall, stretched for a thousand miles! The entire country was also countless times larger than Drum Island, comparable to the desert kingdom of Alabasta!

At the same time, this snow-capped mountain was also an active volcano, from which the island's four seasons derived their climate.

The cold winds of the northern region were completely blocked by the active volcano, making Summer Domain in the south perpetually hot and sunny. Coupled with the magma belt accumulated at the summit, the airflow, after changing temperature, blew along the mountain ridges into Autumn Domain and Spring Domain, forming a unique four-season climate on the Grand Line.

Moving along the unique bustling path of Summer Domain, a magnificent mountain cliff soon appeared before the group. The upper part of the cliff was covered in thick snow, hanging down like a waterfall. But at a certain point, the wind and snow were completely blown away by the warm winds of Summer Domain, revealing a black rock face, clearly distinct from the white snow above, creating a breathtaking scene.

Continuous thousand-meter high cliff faces like this were enough to evoke emotion in anyone, praising the marvelous work of nature. Not to mention that below the cliff, a similarly continuous thousand-meter palace complex was situated.

In front of the main entrance of the palace, a group of people were already waiting – the guards welcoming the Queen back to the palace.

At this moment, Ron suddenly felt a murderous aura. He turned his head and saw Garp staring intently at someone opposite them. Following Garp's gaze, Ron saw a middle-aged man with a calm expression and a standard handsome uncle face. This person was wearing a jet-black heavy armor that clashed with the Queen's guards. The others all took half a step back and stood behind him. Even without Observation Haki, Ron could feel a strong aura of killing intent emanating from him!

This was a decisive general!

Combined with this imposing aura, masculine charm radiated outwards, and many maids around discreetly eyed him with affection.

After glancing back and forth between the handsome face opposite and Garp's old face three times, Ron suddenly realized.

"Holy crap!!!"

Garp immediately turned his head, glaring at Ron unpleasantly, "What are you thinking, you brat?"

Ron decisively shook his head, "Thinking about nothing."

Garp was about to say something more, but at this moment, Queen Rosa alighted from the carriage and gave Garp a look. Garp glared at Ron again before walking forward.

"General Fred, this is Vice Admiral Garp from Marine Headquarters. Vice Admiral Garp, this is General Fred."

As if knowing the two were very familiar, Queen Rosa didn't use many words, just introduced them plainly and asked, "Are the accommodation arrangements for the Marine soldiers ready?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, they have been prepared properly."

The general named Fred had a very pleasant voice, with the husky and magnetic quality unique to mature men, completely incomparable to Garp's booming noise. Compared to him, Ron felt even more that Garp had no chance of winning.

"Mm, that's good. I will return to the palace first. You can handle the rest yourselves."

Queen Rosa said indifferently, then, escorted by a large group of guards and maids, walked towards the depths of the palace. Other guests were not qualified to be personally welcomed by the Queen. Garp was welcomed because he represented Marine Headquarters, the face of the World Government. As a member nation, according to etiquette, the King had to come out to greet him. Now that the welcome was over, Queen Rosa naturally had no reason to stay.

After Rosa left, Ron shifted his gaze, eagerly anticipating the great battle between the old lover and the little slut.

However, he never expected Fred's first sentence to change the entire mood.

"It seems the Marines still refuse to give up, Vice Admiral Garp."

The Marines, not Garp

The implications of this were vast, like the difference between clouds and mud.

Under Ron's slightly surprised gaze, Garp calmly replied, "Your scheme won't succeed, Fred."

"Then I shall eagerly await the Marines' performance, Vice Admiral Garp… Three days from now is Queen Rosa's birthday banquet, and also the joyous occasion of my ascension to the throne… You must have a good drink!"

With that, Fred left without giving Garp a chance to retort. Ron, who would be a fool not to see the problem now, recalled how he was tricked into sailing and quietly asked, "Is he the one? Our mission target…"

"Not ours, yours…"

Taking a deep breath, Garp unclenched his fist and waved his hand, "Let's go to the encampment first, and I'll explain everything slowly."

Fat people are great, they have more meat and are more resilient! The air conditioning broke today; it doesn't heat, but it cools too much, leaving everyone with stuffy noses and sore throats from the cold air. Only Da Shu, being fat, sat directly in the airflow and remained perfectly comfortable.

Ah, watching them team up to buy cold medicine felt so satisfying!
