Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"Let's go over there and take a look. If they're pirates, we'll arrest them while we're at it."

"Yes, Lieutenant General Garp!"

The navy on board began to move.

It changed direction and headed towards the location from which the slashing attack had come.

Lieutenant General Garp...

Marine hero, Monkey D. Garp!

The top fighters in the navy.

One of that tiny group of people standing at the very top of the ocean!

Beside Garp, his adjutant Bogart calmly pondered, "We just had a pirate with a bounty of 50 million Berries appear, and now we have a swordsman who can unleash flying slashes."

"Why are there one incident after another in this area of ​​the East China Sea?"

"Oh? A pirate with a bounty of 50 million Berries has appeared in the East Blue?"

Upon hearing Bogart's words, Karp became interested again.

He didn't know about this.

This time, I returned to the East China Sea under the pretext of a mission to go home and visit my family.

I haven't been paying much attention to what's happening in the East China Sea...

It's worth mentioning that this trip home also revealed something to Garp that made him grit his teeth.

Ace finally decided to go to sea...

"I only saw the newspaper recently, and I was just about to report this to you."

The lieutenant, Bogart, picked up a newspaper and handed it to Garp, explaining, "Buggy the Clown, the vicious pirate who destroyed the Arlong Pirates and attacked the Marine 16th Branch Base, now has a bounty of 50 million Berries."

"Bucky the Clown?"

Garp took the newspaper and glanced at it, his gaze finally landing on the wanted poster. He exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? This face looks familiar... especially that nose..."

He looked at it and felt that it was somewhat familiar.

Especially that red nose...

"I feel the same way."

Bogard nodded, his tone becoming slightly more serious: "If I'm not mistaken, this clown Buggy is very likely a former member of Roger's pirate crew."

"That apprentice crew member, Buggy, who's on friendly terms with Shanks!"

That red nose is just too easy to spot.

Once you've seen it, you'll remember it vividly; it's hard to forget it...

"Pfft, hahaha, so it's that guy?"

Upon hearing Bogart's words, Garp recalled the memory and couldn't help but laugh.

However, Garp quickly stopped laughing, his brows furrowing slightly as he muttered to himself, "Roger's crew? Why are they showing up at this time?"

'Could it be related to that brat Ace?'

This thought inexplicably arose in Garp's mind.

Did the Roger Pirates know Ace's identity?

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

Not long after Ace set sail, that red-nosed brat from Roger's pirate crew showed up...

Garp asked, "Do you have any information about Bucky the Clown?"

"According to intelligence from the East China Sea branch base, Bucky the Clown has been here in the East China Sea for quite some time."

Bogart reported: "However, they have kept a very low profile and have never clashed with the Navy. They also actively avoid conflict when they encounter the Navy."

"This sudden display of strength might be part of some scheme..."

"Roger's men are really restless!"

Garp gave a soft hum.

After thinking for a moment, he ordered Bogart: "Have someone search for their whereabouts. If any news comes, tell me immediately."

He pondered to himself: 'Roger's crew, who's sworn brothers with Shanks, has been hiding in the East Blue for years, and now he's suddenly showing up at this time...'

What a coincidence!

It was such a coincidence that Garp found it unusual.

We need to go find Bucky the Clown and ask him some questions.

Did the other party know Ace's identity?

Ace's identity must not be exposed, otherwise even he would find it troublesome...

"I understand, Lieutenant General Garp."

Bogart was not quite sure what Karp was thinking.

However, since it concerns members of the Roger Pirates, the Navy definitely needs to take it seriously...

"Vice Admiral Garp, there is a large amount of blood on the sea surface. Based on our assessment, it should be left behind from the killing of a Sea King."

At this moment, another naval soldier came to report: "However, we did not see any ships, and the person who made the move has already left."

"Well, I see."

After responding, Garp calculated the distance the warship had traveled, and his eyes flashed: "A flying slash that covers such a long distance? Looks like a swordsman of considerable strength..."

The distance covered by a flying slash is also a standard for judging a swordsman's strength.

Karp made his judgment on this.

The person who unleashed that strike was definitely not weak...

"Is it over there?"

Garp's Observation Haki spread out.

They sensed the presence of people in one direction, and quite a few of them...

Knowing the location of the warship and that there was a floating restaurant in the area, Bogart said, "This is the Sambas Sea. That area over there should be the location of the floating restaurant Barati."

"The Barratier floating restaurant? I've heard of it."

Karp nodded.

He knew about the floating restaurant, but he had never been there.

Then he waved his hand and ordered, "Go and see, find the guy who swung the slash!"

Chapter 27 The Baratie, the Sea Restaurant!

Balati, a restaurant on the sea, is the most famous restaurant in the East China Sea.

Because the chefs in the restaurant all possess considerable fighting skills, ordinary pirates wouldn't cause trouble here.

When receiving guests, Barrati doesn't consider their status, but only whether they have Pelé.

To put it simply, this restaurant doesn't cater to poor people!

However, Baratie has one rule: wasting food is not allowed, and anyone who wastes food will be blacklisted...

It's a very unique restaurant!

The two-masted sailboat is moored at the anchorage.

Rocks, Kuina, and Nami disembarked and boarded the Baratie.

Besides Locke's ships, other ships were also docked here.

There were two merchant ships and one pirate ship.

Business looks good...

"It seems the chef's skills are quite good; we're in for a treat."

As soon as he stepped inside, Lockes' keen sense of smell detected the aroma of food in the air.

As a food enthusiast, Locke was already looking forward to Baratie's dishes.

Nami twitched her little nose: "Why can't I smell anything?"

"Your nose is stuffy, isn't it?"

"..."

Nami glanced at Rocks.

Why is this person criticizing her?

Kuina, however, explained, "Rocks is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, so his five senses should be more acute than those of an ordinary person."

"Oh."

Nami knew that Rocks was a Devil Fruit user, but she had never seen him.

So, out of curiosity, he asked, "Speaking of which, I still don't know what kind of Devil Fruit Rocks ate!"

It seems like Rocks hasn't demonstrated his abilities yet?

She was indeed curious!

"The Human-Human Fruit, a Mythical Zoan type, in its illusory form, the Black-Winged Great Demon."

Lox looked over, puzzled, and asked, "Didn't I say that?"

"Mythical Zoan? Never heard of it!"

Nami asked suspiciously, "Could this be a lie? I haven't seen any change in your appearance..."

"My ability is rather unique; it won't cause significant changes to my appearance unless it's developed to a certain extent..."

Lox didn't say much: "I only have a vague understanding of it myself right now, and I'll only know more as we continue developing it..."
