"Call..."
After leaving Sengoku's office, Momousagi sighed and walked down the street, feeling somewhat dejected.
Just then, a short, stout, hunched-over, and somewhat slovenly middle-aged man approached Momousagi with a bouquet of flowers and spoke to her with deep affection.
"My dearest Gion, please accept my sixty-ninth confession and become my girlfriend..."
Behind the man was a large heart-shaped floral arrangement, surrounded by numerous officers and sailors who shouted at her.
"Together... together... together..."
Just as the man watched his beloved woman, Momousagi, walk towards him step by step, his face beaming with joy, thinking that Momousagi was about to accept his proposal and become his girlfriend.
But then I heard...
" Vice Admiral Chaton, I don't have time for your pointless actions right now. Get out of my way..."
Momousagi walked straight past him, and a faint voice came from beside him, its tone carrying a dangerous undertone.
"Uh... alright!! Since you're Gion today, I'll confess to you another day... make way for Vice Admiral Gion..."
Hearing Momousagi's slightly dangerous words, Vice Admiral Chaton knew she was very unhappy, so he didn't provoke her further and had his subordinates make way for her.
"What's wrong with Gion today?! If it were like before, she would have trampled all my flowers and gifts, but what's wrong with her today?"
Is something troubling her?
Chaton scratched his head, puzzled, as he watched her indifferent departure.
"What a pity! Vice Admiral Chaton, your proposal failed again... I saw that little girl Momousagi leave here very unhappy."
Did you offend her?!
Just as Chaton was puzzled, a loud voice rang out. Chaton looked up and saw it was Garp.
After receiving the Celestial Dragons Saint Orange, he took charge of his safety in the vicinity. However, because he deeply loathed the Celestial Dragons, no matter how polite Orange to him, he couldn't change his opinion.
So Garp chose to wander around the area, avoiding any encounters with Orange and the others. In any case, with his mastery of Observation Haki, he would quickly know and rush there to protect anyone who harbored any dangerous thoughts towards Orange.
"Oh... it's Vice Admiral Garp... what are you doing here?!"
Chaton saw that it was Garp, whom he greatly respected, so he looked up, greeted him, and asked why he was there.
"Well, I've been assigned a guard mission, so I'm looking around here. Oh, by the way, you haven't answered my question yet."
What happened to Momousagi? Did you anger her?
Garp briefly explained why he was there, and then went on to ask the question he had just posed.
"How could I dare to offend her... I was just planning my sixty-ninth confession to Gion, but she seemed very unhappy and left. I have no idea what's going on..."
Chaton replied to Garp.
"Really? I'm glad you didn't anger her. Otherwise, to prevent He from getting upset because of her, I might have to give you a beating to vent her anger..."
Since this is none of your business, I'll be leaving now. Oh, and remember to clean up the mess here...
Garp chuckled, his words making Chaton a little nervous. Fortunately, Chaton breathed a sigh of relief when Garp said he wouldn't hit him anymore.
Then, looking at the ground covered with flowers, he felt a headache coming on and replied.
"Um... one last thing, I'm telling you, stop playing these useless games."
The girl from the Gion doesn't like this at all; you should think of other ways to solve it...
Alright, that's all for now, I'm leaving.
Finally Garp waved to Chaton was still in a daze, and left.
"As for other aspects... I've tried everything I could, but nothing works for Gion. I don't know what kind of approach he prefers..."
Chaton stood there alone, lost in thought.
And he didn't know that most women didn't like his decadent look at all. Although he was very powerful,
However, his appearance is really not flattering. He is comparable to another powerful Marine, Kizaru, and makes people lose any desire to fall in love with him at first glance.
"This is it. It's time to go in and meet her, Hogg's sister, Catherine..."
On the other side, Luo Chen followed Catherine as she returned home. As she entered her residence, he stood outside and looked at her, saying...
Then he stepped forward and gently rang the doorbell.
bell...
bell...
"They're here! Who is it? Could it be Sister Gion visiting me?!"
Inside the house, Catherine, dressed in a pristine white casual outfit and barefoot, walked to the door and made a guess.
Click...
"Are you Sister Gion? Hmm... who are you? Do we know each other?"
Just as Catherine opened the door with great joy, thinking it was Momousagi, she saw a strange man standing in front of her and asked him a question.
"Oh... please allow me to introduce myself. My Luo Chen, and I'm here to see your Miss Catherine..."
The man, Luo Chen, politely introduced himself to her.
" Luo Chen?! We don't seem to know each other... And what is it that you said you wanted to talk to me about something important?"
Catherine looked at him with a puzzled expression, then spoke, before giving him a wary look, as if Luo Chen wouldn't let him in until he explained the situation.
"If I told you this matter is related to your brother Hogg, could I go in and discuss it in detail?"
Luo Chen ignored Catherine's wary gaze and looked at her with a smile.
"What?! You mean you have news about my brother?"
Upon hearing news of her long-lost brother, Catherine immediately became excited and reiterated her request to him.
"Of course... I have news of Hogg, and this is a keepsake he gave me, take a look..."
Luo Chen nodded with a smile, then took out a pocket watch from his pocket and showed it to Catherine.
"This is... my brother's stuff. Please come in, let's talk in more detail..."
After Catherine took the pocket watch and opened it, she saw the photo of her and her brother and finally accepted Luo Chen's identity, inviting him inside.
"..."
Luo Chen nodded to himself and followed her inside.
Thump...
The door closed after he went in.
Meanwhile, a man in black, who was not far from them, had witnessed the entire scene and recorded it in his notebook.
He then turned and ran towards a certain place, which was the residence of the Celestial Dragons, Saint Orange.
"Hmm... a little bug? Sneaking around here, could it be one of that Celestial Dragons's subordinates? Is it trying to report what just happened to its master?"
"Never mind, it's not a big deal anyway... I'd better finish dealing with Hogg's matter first."
As he left, Luo Chen slightly turned his head and thought to himself.
