Kingdom of Lvneel: Vice Admiral Garp Does Whatever He Wants / North Blue: Admiral Kizaru's Test

Hawkins looked up at Garp and said expressionlessly, "As expected of Iron Fist Garp, the man known as the Hero of the Marines."

"Hm?" Garp turned to Hawkins. Seeing an unfamiliar face, he asked curiously, "You know me?"

Hawkins?

The moment Lin Mo heard that name, he remembered who the man was.

Six years later, this guy would join Luffy, Zoro, and the others as one of the dozen or so Supernovas with bounties exceeding a hundred million Beli.

As for his abilities, he was a Straw-Straw Fruit user who could transfer damage through cursed straw dolls and transform into a scarecrow himself. He was also a master diviner who consulted his cards before almost anything he did, then decided how to act.

In short, he avoided risks and played it safe.

His way of doing things had earned him the nickname Magician, and some even called him Hawkins the Diviner.

At this point, Hawkins had probably only just formed his pirate crew and had yet to receive a bounty, so it was only natural that Garp didn't recognize him.

"Hero of the Marines? That old man is the Hero of the Marines?"

"My god, why is Iron Fist Garp here? Huh? He's wearing casual clothes..."

"Is he here on vacation? But I remember Iron Fist Garp's hometown being in the East Blue. Why would he come to the North Blue?"

Hawkins's men murmured among themselves.

The other patrons' expressions changed.

Though they had rarely seen Iron Fist Garp, the Hero of the Marines, they had certainly heard of his reputation.

Remembering how they had mocked Garp earlier, the patrons lowered their heads in embarrassment, not daring to speak.

"Hahaha, don't be so nervous, everyone. I'm just here on vacation," Garp said with a hearty laugh.
