"Heh, so it's you, the Celestial Dragons from Holy Land Mary Geoise. Sengoku sent me to receive you. Come with me..."
Garp glanced at the young man who walked up to him, then spoke in a nonchalant tone.
"Yes, it is I, Vice Admiral Garp. I have long admired your name, and meeting you today confirms that it lives up to your reputation..."
Orange greeted Garp with neither arrogance nor servility.
"So it was him. No wonder he's so powerful. I was so reckless just now..."
Hearing their conversation, Califo realized who had just pressured him and was immediately filled with remorse.
Indeed, he had just stood in front of Garp and spoken to him in such a condescending tone, no wonder Garp was so angry and used his imposing manner to suppress him.
You must understand that any strong person would be enraged by his disdainful tone and attitude, let alone the famous Marine, the Garp the Hero.
On this vast ocean, when it comes to the strongest, Garp would undoubtedly be among the top. As one of the Navy's most powerful figures, he personally suppressed two eras (Note: the Rocks era and the Roger era), earning him praise and acclaim from the world.
"Haha, no need for flattery, I understand. My name is not something that would make a Celestial Dragons like you feel so honored."
I'm here today to receive you all; to put it simply, to clean up your messes...
So if there's anything I can help with, I'll try my best to do so...
Alright, if there's nothing else to say, come with me. I'll take you to your Celestial Dragons ' temporary residence here."
After Garp finished speaking, he turned and walked straight ahead, completely ignoring whether the Celestial Dragons behind him had followed, and his tone showed no respect whatsoever for their noble bloodline.
"This is extremely rude, Saint Orange. Should we say something to warn him?"
Orange wasn't angry at Garp's attitude, but his two guards were furious. They felt their young master's reputation had been insulted and stepped forward to ask Orange his stance.
"Forget it, if he could bow down to our status, then he wouldn't be the Garp the Hero of the Marines..."
After all, isn't he also a member of that clan?
Orange stopped his guards, and as he watched Garp's departing figure, his voice trailed off.
"Yes..."
Hearing their young master say this, they had no choice but to give up and retreat to his side.
"How long are you going to lie there, Vice Admiral Califo... That man is already far away, aren't you going to get up?"
After glancing at Garp's retreating figure, Orange turned his gaze to Vice Admiral Califo, who was slumped on the ground beside him. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes as he spoke to him indifferently.
This useless thing in front of me wasted the fruit he had bestowed upon him; he couldn't even withstand Garp's aura and was now slumped on the ground in such a humiliating manner.
"Phew... Yes!!"
"I've embarrassed you, Saint Orange, I'm so sorry..."
Upon hearing Orange's displeased tone, Califo immediately stood up, bowed deeply, and repeatedly apologized to Orange.
"Alright, this time it's not your fault. That Vice Admiral was simply too powerful; even you couldn't withstand his aura. Get up..."
Upon hearing Califo's resignation, Orange shook his head, forgiving his previous behavior, and instead offered words of comfort.
"Yes... thank you so much for your understanding... I'm very sorry, I promise I won't embarrass myself like that again."
Seeing that he had made him so ashamed, yet still forgave him, Califo wiped away tears of emotion from his eyes and spoke with great emotion.
"Hmm, no need for that. Let's hurry and catch up; Vice Admiral Garp is about to go far away!!"
Orange's calm expression relieved him of his inner turmoil, and he followed Garp's steps.
This is also Orange subordinates; by virtue of his status and by subtly showing concern for them, he can make them serve him wholeheartedly.
" Luo Chen... get up... we've arrived..."
Shortly after they left, the warship arrived at the main port. Jonathan walked to Luo Chen's room, knocked on the door, and loudly reminded him.
Click...
"I understand. Thank you for taking care of Vice Admiral Jonathan along the way. Now it's time for me to leave..."
Upon hearing Jonathan's reminder, Luo Chen opened the door and thanked him in person.
"Hmm... You're welcome. It was our agreement, and now that it's all been fulfilled, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. By the way, aren't you planning to stay here a little longer?"
Anyway, it's still early, isn't it? I can help you find out about Hogg's sister, you just need to stay here and wait for my news...
Jonathan replied that it was their agreement, it was a deal, and then suggested that he could stay there and wait for his news.
"No need, Vice Admiral Jonathan. You've already gone to so much trouble along the way. I'll take care of the rest myself..."
Luo Chen shook his head and declined his offer. He didn't want to owe him any more favors, so he spoke up.
"Alright, then be careful. If anything happens, you can come to me for help..."
Don't let my appearance fool you, I have connections here...
Knowing he couldn't stop him, Jonathan patted his chest and said this.
"Hmm... I will. Well then, goodbye, Vice Admiral Jonathan, I'm leaving..."
Luo Chen nodded to indicate that he would do so, and then used Geppo to leave the warship and enter Marineford to find Hogg's sister Catherine.
"Alright... this is your residence, Saint Orange. Is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving now..."
After leading Orange others to their temporary residence, Garp pointed to the door inside and said something before preparing to leave.
"Wait, Vice Admiral Garp, there's something else I'd like to ask you..."
Orange nodded as he looked at the magnificent residence, then saw Garp turn to leave. Remembering his mission, he hurriedly called out to him.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
After being stopped, Garp asked him in a somewhat impatient tone.
"Yes, that's right. I'm here on my father's orders to retrieve my fiancée, Catherine. Do you know where she is?"
Orange didn't care about Garp's attitude. He knew he needed Karp's help, but he didn't lower his aristocratic posture. He still asked Karp in a humble but not arrogant manner.
" Catherine?! Isn't that the little girl who follows Momousagi around? How come she's involved with you Celestial Dragons?"
Upon hearing the name, Garp thought for a moment, then looked at Orange and spoke.
"Of course, you may not know this, but she and her brother Rear Admiral Hogg, were once members of the Celestial Dragons, from the Glücksburg Family Clan..."
Orange nodded and explained to him.
