An Encounter with Garp

The azure sea, the refreshing sea breeze—the Thunder Gaba sails here, its hull slowly cutting through the surface, creating ripples...

"Hey! Captain! Did you see my Raiu?" Shiryu pushed open Teach's door, but the large room was empty.

"Strange! Where's the captain?" Shiryu scratched his head, not knowing what was going on. Awakening, the Raiu he had placed on the table in his room was gone. At first, he suspected that Fakyu had taken it, but after a severe interrogation, he found that it really didn't seem to be with Fakyu!

"Hmm? The smell of barbecue?" Shiryu rubbed his stomach. He had been anxiously searching for Raiu since he woke up this morning and hadn't eaten a single thing.

"Fine, let's go fill our stomachs first!" Shiryu had no choice but to head to the ship's restaurant.

As soon as I arrived at the restaurant entrance, I heard a commotion coming from inside.

"Captain, you've really put me in a lot of trouble! You have no idea, that Shiryu guy is inhuman! He's incredibly ruthless!"

"Hahaha! Don't worry about it! This biggest piece of roast meat is for you!"

"But Captain, why do you insist on using Shiryu's sword to cook?"

"Hmph! What do you know? Shiryu's knife is incredibly sharp, perfect for cutting bones! Besides, I'm quite comfortable using Shiryu's knife! Otherwise, I'd be using Shitt's axe to cook!"

"Wow! Captain, you have this skill too! This barbecue is delicious!"

"Hmm? This is really something our captain made? Looks like we can entrust the ship's meals to the captain from now on!"

Shiryu stood outside the door, veins bulging on his forehead! That damned captain, how dare he use my beloved Raiu for cooking! Who could tolerate this?!

Thinking of this, Shiryu angrily kicked the door open, only to see Teach inside. Teach was holding Raiu in one hand and a large piece of roasted meat in the other, slicing the meat off the bone with a knife. There were also two slices of bread next to him, as if he was making a sandwich!

"You damned captain, how dare you use my Raiu for cooking! I'll never forgive you!" Shiryu at Teach menacingly, his ferocious expression making him look like he wanted to devour someone!

"Shiryu, calm down! Let me explain!"

"Explain what? Prepare to die!"

"Mmm, it smells delicious!" Shiryu sat in the chair, taking big bites of the roast meat, Teach, with a big bump on his head, carefully picked up his sandwich.

"I knew it, Captain was definitely going to get a beating today!" Fakyu looked at Teach, barely suppressing a laugh. For a moment, even the ordinary drinks tasted exceptionally sweet!

"You Fakyu, where are you mocking this captain?" Teach, knowing Teach was in the wrong, naturally couldn't retaliate against Shiryu. But how dare a mere fool like Fakyu mock the captain? It seems he needs another luxurious devilish training package!

"No, no!" Fakyu shook his head repeatedly. Just then, a cannon blast reached everyone's ears!

"Huh? Someone's attacking?" Laffitte was taken aback. Ever since the Paramount War, everyone they'd encountered at sea had avoided the Blackbeard Pirates after seeing their distinctive pirate flag! How long had it been since anyone dared to attack the Blackbeard Pirates?

"Hahaha! Looks like business has come knocking!" Teach's eyes lit up. They had been back with the Whitebeard Pirates for some time now, and hadn't made a single sale in ages! Although they had a lot of treasure, it would eventually run out!

"Men, come with me and see which sucker is rushing to deliver our treasure!" Teach threw down his sandwich and rushed out of the room. Laffitte and the others were also excited; after such a long rest, their bones were practically rusted!

"Hahaha! Bring me another 200 cannonballs!"

The hearty laughter and familiar words startled Teach. This was the New World! The territory of Four Emperors). Could he really be unlucky enough to run into that old man?

However, once everyone saw the other ship clearly, their hopes vanished!

A dog-headed warship!

"Hahaha! Marine HQ hero Monkey D. Garp! What a troublesome old guy!" Although Garp is strong, with Teach's current strength, even if he is not defeated, he will not be easily defeated! What's more, they are on the high seas! With the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, Teach is not afraid of anyone!

"Oh? It's Garp! But is he alone?" Shiryu wiped away the bits of flesh left on the Raiu. If Garp was alone, then there was nothing to fear! After all, the captain's strength was no joke! And there were no weaklings on their ship!

"Damn it! How did we run into this old bastard! Where are the cannons? I'm going to blast him to smithereens!" Fakyu cursed under his breath. It seemed his desire for a fight was unlikely to be fulfilled! But since the other side dared to throw cannonballs at their ships, he, the sharpshooter Fakyu, was determined to retaliate!

"Hey! Garp! I don't think I've offended you guys! Besides, are you here to die with so many weaklings by yourself?" Teach said with an unfriendly expression, then casually threw a punch, shattering all the cannonballs that Garp threw!

"I didn't want to either! Who told you, you bastard, to kill Celestial Dragons! Come back with me and spend the rest of your life in the Impel Down!"

Garp's words startled Teach; he hadn't expected things to be exposed so quickly! It seemed the World Government's intelligence organization was indeed formidable!

"Do you think this is realistic? Besides, this is the open sea! Even if it doesn't pose a threat to you, I think it would be easy to bury these small fry behind you in the ocean!"

"That's right! How come I didn't think of that? Never mind, let's all return to port!" Garp arrived quickly and left just as fast. Amidst the bewildered expressions of Blackbeard Pirates, Garp's warship rapidly disappeared from their sight...

"Captain, I have a feeling that Garp is here to tip us off?" Laffitte's lips twitched, and he said incredulously.

"I think he might have been careless, realized something was wrong, and ran away quickly!" said the thoughtless Fakyu, and the next second a big bump appeared on his head!

"Captain, what are you doing!"

"You idiot! Garp is a legendary figure. Although he's usually carefree and seems silly, how could someone who survived the last era be mediocre? You should know that he once chased Roger all over the ocean!" Teach finished Fakyu, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"He's just telling us to prepare early and add an extra layer of protection for Ace's safety! If Ace weren't one of our Whitebeard Pirates, do you think this old guy would have made such a long trip? Let's go, let's go home!"

The once clear sky suddenly darkened; another terrifying battle was about to unfold...
