Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 47: Just an Ordinary Tavern
"It's you, kid!" Looking at Kuzan who suddenly sat next to him, Garp scratched his head in distress and said, "Why are you here too? Are you here to catch that kid too? Oh no, my secret has been discovered too, right?"

"Ah~, what secret?" Hearing Vice Admiral Garp's words, Kuzan raised his eyebrows, and a curious look appeared on his lazy face, "What secret is Vice Admiral Garp talking about?"

"Ahahaha~, secret? What secret? I take back what I just said!" Seeing Kuzan's curious eyes, Garp laughed it off, pretending to be confused and pinching his nose. With an innocent expression, he said, "I didn't say anything secret at all. Did you hear it wrong?"

"..."

Looking at Vice Admiral Garp who was still stubborn, Kuzan shook his head helplessly, then returned to his original lazy expression and said, "Because we are passing by the East China Sea, Marshal Zhan Guo asked me to come here in person to inform you that your vacation is over, please go back immediately!"

"Ahahaha~, is it over already? So quickly? How come I didn't know?"

"Marshal Sengoku said that you hung up the phone call he made, and he has already asked Bogart to bring your exclusive warship and subordinates over." Seeing Vice Admiral Garp still pretending to be confused and holding his nose, Kuzan showed no mercy and directly exposed Garp's disguise, "I have seen Bogart at the dock, and Marshal Sengoku asked you not to hang up the Den Den Mushi he called."

Having said that, he no longer looked at Garp. He was only here for routine work. As for whether Vice Admiral Garp would go back or not, it was none of his business. He had already notified him anyway.

He turned around and looked at the bar owner in front of him, Makino, and said leisurely, "Miss Makino, long time no see, please have a cold beer!"

"Cough cough~"

"Please give Vice Admiral Garp a drink too! Is there anything else I can eat? I haven't eaten all day~"

Hearing Vice Admiral Garp's cough, Kuzan understood what he meant, but he didn't care. He shrugged and took out the money from his pocket.

Sudden.

"Ahahaha~, thank you so much, Kuzan!" Vice Admiral Garp laughed loudly, and patted Kuzan's shoulder with his big hand as he was taking out money, and said cheerfully, "You haven't eaten either?"

only.

As Garp's big palm came down, Kuzan, who was taking out money, staggered.

Immediately afterwards...

"Da~"

It was as if something accidentally fell from Kuzan's pocket onto the bar.

"What a coincidence, I don't have it either!" Garp, who was patting Kuzan hard, seemed to hear something falling. As he spoke, he lowered his head happily, "Hey, it seems like you dropped something?"

At this moment, he seemed to have seen something. He stared blankly at the small pink card that fell on the bar and blinked again.

"This thing...why does it feel familiar?"

"Mr. Garp~" Makino looked at Garp helplessly and admonished him without hesitation, "Please pay attention!"

then.

Just as Kuzan raised his eyelids and was about to reach out to pick up the small card.

Makino quickly reached out his hand again, picked up the card himself, and handed it to Kuzan who was holding out his hand, "Sorry, Mr. Kuzan! This is yours, the VIP card of the Red Romance Private Club? Please keep it."

"..."

Actually, you don't have to say it.
Kuzan's mouth twitched, but he still quickly reached out his hand, took the card at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and quickly stuffed it back, "Ah, thank you so much, Miss Makino!"

Garp, who was deep in thought, seemed to have realized it at this time, and said with a look of enlightenment, "Red Romance Private Club? That's right, isn't this the Red Romance Private Club? Kuzan boy, how come you have one too?"

"..."

Could you please not be so loud?

Before Kuzan, with a gloomy face, could say anything.

Makino, who had already taken out two glasses of ice beer across the bar, also asked curiously, "Red Romance Private Club? Mr. Cap, have you been there? What kind of place is that?"

"Ahahaha, of course I've been there too." Cap happily picked up the ice beer, drank it in another big gulp, and said, "That's a good..."

however.

The words are not finished yet.

"Tavern~" Kuzan interrupted Garp's words directly, with a smile on his lazy face, looking at Garp, "Mr. Garp, that's a tavern, isn't it?"

"Tavern?" Garp, who had already finished a big gulp of his drink, also reacted. He blinked, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Kuzan meaningfully, "Yes, Kuzan is right, it's a tavern!"

"Mr. Cap is right, it's just a pub that's nothing special!"

"I just happened to have a drink somewhere when I came back." Karp waved his hand and laughed, "Nothing special!"

"..."

Makino looked at the two strange people in front of him.

A pub is a pub.
Why did Mr. Karp and Mr. Kuzin repeat themselves so many times?

Is the wine there really delicious?
only.

At this moment, Garp and Kuzan didn't notice the helpless and curious expression on Makino's face. They just looked at each other.

One of them had a cheerful smile, and the other one was drinking beer lazily.

There was a meaningful look in both eyes.

Just for a moment.

It only took Kuzan time to finish the beer in his hand.

"So you've seen that kid?" Cap held his nose and broke the silence, saying with a smile, "Where's that kid? Has he been caught by you?"

however.

"I don't know what it is, kid~, Vice Admiral Garp, can you explain it more clearly?"

Facing Vice Admiral Garp's words, Kuzan still had that lazy expression on his face. He rejected it directly, and after asking Makino to have another drink, he said leisurely, "Vice Admiral Garp is asking about Colonel Dander Shatcher? I think that guy is very talented, but he was buried in the East China Sea. So, he has been sent to the Grand Line to perform a secret mission, and I am going to recommend him to the higher-ups. By the way, why did Vice Admiral Garp ask about him? Is Vice Admiral Garp very familiar with him?"

“Ahahaha, not really~” Seeing Kuzan pretending to be confused, Garp also pretended to be confused, tilted his head, still pinching his nose and said, “Not really, not really, I don’t know any boy Shache at all!” “…”

Vice Admiral Garp is still the same!

But Kuzan didn't say much about Vice Admiral Garp's pretense of confusion. He smiled and thanked Makino again, then took the beer.

This time he drank slowly.

only.

The moment he took a sip and put down the wine, his eyes flashed slightly.

This time he is facing the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Will that kid still be able to hide his strength?
Kuzan muttered to himself, "We should be almost at Alabasta now!"

The voice just fell.

"Plu pulu~, plu pulu~"

Just when Kuzan was curious about what the boy would do this time.

The Den Den Mushi rang.

Kuzan picked up the Den Den Mushi skillfully and answered the call directly, saying in a lazy tone, "Hello, what's up? If not, I'll hang up!"

"Please be serious, Kuzan~"

"Hey, is that Marshal Sengoku?" Hearing the voice of Den Den Mushi, Kuzan's lazy expression on his face was slightly restrained, and he said with a headache, "Is there another mission?"

"Is it that guy Zhan Guo?" Garp beside him also came over curiously, and then quickly said with a serious face, "Don't tell Zhan Guo, I'm here!"

only.

Before Kuzan, who had a headache, could say anything.

"I already heard your voice!" Den Den Mushi started to curse, "Garp, how dare you hang up on me?"

"Ahahaha, have we been discovered?"

"Asshole! Your vacation is over, and I'm not telling you!" Sengoku Den Den Mushi roared angrily, "Your snacks are all gone! Don't even think about asking me to replenish them for you!"

"It's okay, I'll just eat yours!"

"..."

This bastard thing.

"Marshal Sengoku~" Looking at the Sengoku Den Den Mushi who was about to explode with anger, Kuzan ignored Garp who was pinching his nose and looked indifferent. Worried that the two would continue to quarrel like this, he quickly interrupted and said, "What is the mission for you to call this time?"

"Oh, right, I almost forgot, it's all the fault of that bastard Garp!" After hearing what Kuzan said, Sengoku Den Den Mushi came back to his senses, took a deep breath, ignored that guy Garp, and put on a serious expression.

this moment.

The entire Den Den Mushi seemed to exude the aura of a navy admiral.

"I am now issuing a mission to the Marine Headquarters, Admiral Aokiji and Vice Admiral Garp." Sengoku Den Den Mushi's eyes narrowed, and he spoke in a steady tone, "The conspiracy of the Seven Warlords of the Sea - Crocodile to plot against the Kingdom of Alabasta has been exposed, and was defeated by the passing Mok Pirates. Please both of you go to the Kingdom of Alabasta immediately and bring Crocodile back to the Marine Headquarters, and at the same time arrest the overlord of the East China Sea - the Mok Pirates!"

After issuing the task, a trace of emotion appeared on his face, and he said with melancholy.

"I didn't expect that the Mok Pirates have already entered the Grand Line. It seems that Garp and I have underestimated this guy's strength. He defeated Crocodile right after entering the Grand Line. This guy... is quite dangerous, far more dangerous than the supernova Portgas D. Ace."

Then he said in a serious tone, "You two must catch him this time. You must not let him go again."

"..."

"What's wrong with you?" There was no response. As if sensing something strange on the other side, the Sengoku Den Den Mushi frowned again and said with a dissatisfied tone, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

“…Ahahaha~”

“…Hahaha~”

The two of them laughed quickly, and then said seriously, "I heard it~, I heard it~"

"It's such a headache that such a thing happened." Although the responses of the two people on the opposite side seemed a little strange, Sengoku Den Den Mushi did not delve into it further.

Anyway, as long as they complete the task, that's all that matters.

"I'll be busy again!" Sengoku Den Den Mushi sighed, then raised his eyebrows and looked at the two people in front of him, "Now you two, hurry up and get going! Especially you, Garp, get back here right now!"

"Yes!"

"I know, I know~"

"dudu~"

As the Den Den Mushi was hung up, Kuzan and Garp looked at each other again.

Immediately afterwards...

"Kuzan boy, I'll leave it to you from now on!"

"..."

Kuzan looked speechlessly at Garp who continued to hold his nose and drink beer with an indifferent look.

I understand that this old guy is ready to give up again.

But he didn't say much. He lowered his head, looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, sighed, and muttered to himself, "Dander Shache."

I didn't expect it to be resolved so quickly?
But...didn’t he make any move?

He stretched comfortably and said helplessly, "I just sat down, and it looks like I have to be busy again."
