"Bang!!!"
Overwhelmed with excitement, Luffy knocked over a table, but he paid no heed and instantly appeared beside Lawrence, trembling with excitement.
" Lawrence, what did you say? Say it again! My grandfather might still be alive."
Lawrence slightly dodged Luffy's hand, then spoke.
" Luffy, calm down and listen to me!"
Fisher and Higgins quickly pulled Luffy to persuade him, and only after seeing him calm down did Lawrence continue speaking.
"I only know a little about this. After joining the Marine Headquarters, I became friends with Admiral Borsalino and learned some information from him."
Lawrence smiled. His original orders were to become part of Borsalino's faction and, appropriately, reveal certain things.
Rather than Borsalino telling him, it would be more accurate to say that he told Borsalino privately, albeit in a different way.
Moreover, Borsalino did not expose his identity and even secretly accepted Lin Yuan's sponsorship.
However, Luffy was getting impatient, so Lawrence stopped hiding it from him.
"I learned from Borsalino that he secretly discovered that Vice Admiral Garp was not killed by Lin Yuan, but was taken away, and it's even possible that Vice Admiral Garp has become a member of the Abyss Chamber of Commerce."
"What?!"
"Absolutely not!!!"
The Straw Hat Pirates were all dumbfounded, thinking they had misheard. Luffy, though saying he didn't believe it, somehow felt that Lawrence wasn't lying.
" Lawrence, is what you're saying true? Luffy's grandfather really didn't die, and he even joined the Abyss Chamber of Commerce?"
Zoro looked intently at Lawrence, wanting to know the exact details.
"That's right. After Admiral Borsalino and his men were defeated, he actually went back. From what he said, Vice Admiral Garp didn't die; he saw it with his own eyes. However, he was drunk at the time, so I don't know if it's true."
Zoro and the others exchanged glances, somewhat believing Lawrence's words, and were also secretly delighted.
If what Lawrence said is true, they really don't need to confront Lin Yuan. Although their strength has improved, they are not yet prepared to face the world's strongest person.
Moreover, the mysterious person who trained them back then personally said that his strength was far inferior to Lin Yuan's.
However, the opponent managed to beat Luffy and Zoro into a sorry state using only his fists, so just how strong is Lin Yuan?
As for Luffy, he wasn't thinking about anything else at that moment. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that what Lawrence had just said was true.
"Waaaaah, Grandpa, I never thought you were still alive! I'm so happy!"
Lawrence rubbed his nose, trying hard to control himself, afraid of bursting out laughing.
He found these guys to be quite interesting; if he hadn't been trained, he might have been infected by them.
No one bothered Luffy, which was probably good for him; they preferred to see the lively Luffy.
Now, however, they are even more curious about Lawrence. It has to be said, being able to become Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, one's experience is something they can't compare to.
Molly kept asking Lawrence a barrage of questions, trying to extract as much information as possible.
The others didn't object to Molly's approach; on the contrary, they cooperated even more, since Lawrence had just joined and they needed to test him.
However, having become Marine Vice Admiral and an undercover agent, Lawrence almost instantly realized their intentions. But he wasn't angry; instead, he cooperated quite well and chatted with them.
When Sanji after preparing the delicious food, he was dumbfounded. Luffy was crying loudly, while the others were chatting and laughing together. It was a very strange scene.
However, upon seeing the food, Luffy's voice quieted down considerably, and he quickly forgot everything else, his eyes fixed solely on the delicious food.
Sanji's cooking was very lavish, using ingredients from the merchant ship, all of which were top-quality ingredients. Sanji was incredibly excited just now.
After a period of great enjoyment, Lawrence suddenly remembered something and a smile appeared on his face.
"Um, you haven't properly inspected this batch of Heavenly Tribute yet, have you? There are some good items inside. I'll take you to see them."
Do you have any Famous Sword?
Zoro was the first to speak. For many years, he had wanted a good sword. Although he had the Sandai Kitetsu, he didn't have any other suitable Famous Sword.
"I do have one, but it's only Skillful Grade Swords. Take a look!"
Although it was only Skillful Grade Swords," Zoro was extremely happy, since compared to the swords he already had, Skillful Grade Swords" was still quite good.
Everyone then realized that they hadn't yet tallied their spoils, and they all perked up.
"Hurry, hurry, let's see what this so-called ' Heavenly Tribute' contains!"
A group of people excitedly ran towards the cabin, where they were greeted by the finest ingredients, far superior to what Sanji had found in the kitchen.
"Gulp!!!"
Although they had just eaten, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard when they saw these ingredients again, as they had never tasted anything like them before.
"Haha, these are all top-tier quality, don't touch them, I'll go tidy them up."
Sanji was completely mesmerized, as if he'd seen a beautiful woman; he couldn't move an inch when faced with the finest ingredients.
The others ignored him and continued walking inside.
After the food section came the weapons section, but this one was full of firearms, with several boxes of guns and ammunition of all sizes.
Although their power is unknown, all of these weapons share one striking characteristic: they are all exceptionally well-made.
On Usopp's ship, Fisher and Higgins were completely captivated. Although Fisher and Higgins used knives as weapons, they couldn't help but be interested in guns as well.
Zoro, on the other hand, didn't seem to care much; he just wanted a good sword.
Ignoring the group, Lawrence, Luffy, Zoro, and Molly continued walking forward.
Then I saw exquisite ornaments and Beli, as well as three Devil Fruit and several knives.
Zoro and Molly were now completely captivated. Zoro's eyes immediately fell on the swords, while Molly's gaze shone brightly as she looked at all the treasure, her face beaming with ecstasy.
As for the three Devil Fruit, nobody cared about them.
"Clang!!!"
Zoro immediately drew a sword, the very same Skillful Grade Swords. Although it wasn't as good as the Great Grade Sword, it was still passable.
Molly, on the other hand, was carefully counting the value of these treasures. She was shocked when she calculated it; the ship alone was worth billions of Beli.
The crew was astonished that a mere merchant ship could possess such vast wealth, a fact that shattered their limited imaginations. They knew that the Straw Hat Pirates had never even seen anything worth more than 200 million Beli.
"Hahaha, we're rich now!!!"
