Liu Qing escorted Garp and Ace to the harbor, his steps steady and firm. Five old men followed close behind, watching Liu Qing intently as though worried he might suddenly run away.
Liu Qing watched Garp and Ace board the iconic Dog-Head Warship. His gaze settled on Garp, and he reminded him, "Garp, take Ace straight to my original body. He has a way to keep the world from easily discovering that Ace is still alive, while also letting Ace move around freely."
At Liu Qing's words, a delighted smile spread across Garp's face. He thumped his chest and promised, "Don't worry. I'll head to Water 7 as fast as I can to find your original body. Thank you so much for this, Liu Qing. You saved this little brat's life!" With that, Garp bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
Then Garp turned and boarded the warship, expertly steering it straight toward Water 7 at full speed.
Warcury, Saint Topman Warcury, stood where he was, watching Garp and Ace recede into the distance until they vanished completely over the horizon. Then he walked over to Liu Qing's side, looked at him, and said, "Now it's time for you to keep your word."
Liu Qing's clone glanced at Warcury, the corners of his mouth rising into a faint smile. He pressed his palms together and murmured, "Transformation Technique."
With a pop, Liu Qing took on Ace's appearance, followed the Five Elders back to the Chamber of Authority, and lay down comfortably.
As for throwing him in prison? Sorry, that wasn't happening. Ask the Five Elders if they dared force him in. They would only tell you to stop kidding around-if you were so capable, try locking him up yourself.
