One Piece: I'm a Hunter on the Grand Line

Is this a promise?

A glint flashed in Yelena's eyes, and she was about to nod and urge Karp to make a move when a cry of alarm came from afar.

"Dover!"

"Young Master!"

Diamante and the others shoved aside the Marines blocking their way and rushed toward the crater where Doflamingo was.

Karp did not stop him.

As the group passed by him, they only glanced at him angrily before quickly looking away. None of them dared to avenge their young master's punch.

"Ahem!"

Doflamingo jumped out of the deep pit, clutching his shoulder, and Diamante and the others stood behind him.

The navy soldiers also spontaneously gathered behind Garp.

Violet stood up from the ground, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked towards Doflamingo.

On the dock square, the navy and the pirates were clearly separated.

"Vice Admiral Garp, you attacked a Shichibukai without authorization. Aren't you afraid of the Five Elders' wrath?"

Ming was barely containing his anger, veins bulging on his forehead.

"Go and talk to them."

In front of everyone, Garp picked his nose, rolled a dark lump into a ball, and flicked it at Doflamingo's feet.

"You attacked the navy, and I punched you. I'm in the right no matter how you look at it. If you're not satisfied, let's have a fight. Whoever wins gets to decide."

"You can all come at me together, I haven't even used my ultimate move yet!"

Garp stretched his shoulders and neck, revealing a pair of fists the size of sandbags.

"..." Ming remained silent.

The pirates behind him looked even angrier.

Some people were clapping their fists together, some were gripping their sword hilts tightly, and some were repeatedly sucking on their pacifiers...

No one dared to speak up and accept the challenge.

"Fufufufufufu!"

Ming Ge propped himself up with his hands in front of his eyes, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably, and his laughter carried far.

Yelena understood; it turned out that people really do laugh out loud when they are extremely angry and helpless.

She encouraged Ming with her eyes: Go for it, Ming! This guy is just an old soldier about to enter his decline.

I'm not afraid of him at all!

Unfortunately, Doflamingo didn't see Yelena's hint. He suppressed all his emotions and turned to glance at the mountains and forests north of the town.

"That's the end of the matter with the Navy. Now, I'm going to bring back the bodies of my men. Vice Admiral Garp won't even stop me from doing that, will he?"

"Not fighting anymore?" Garp shook his fist.

Ming's face darkened, and he said, word by word, "All I want now is to take my men's corpses home."

"Sigh, alright then." Garp sighed, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He waved his hand dismissively, like shooing away flies, and said, "After you leave the docks, you are not allowed to disturb the people or damage the town. Otherwise, my fists won't be as soft as before!"

Soft?

Doflamingo rubbed his aching shoulder, glancing at the large hole created by Garp's heavy punch and the cracks that covered the entire plaza.

He scoffed and led his men into the town.

Karp scratched his head and laughed, then reached out and patted Colonel Lind on the shoulder with such light force that it almost knocked him to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You must be the highest-ranking officer here. Take stock of these losses and report them to Sengoku so he can pay for them."

Colonel Linde quickly refused, "How can you blame yourself? If you hadn't arrived in time, we probably wouldn't even have survived! The branch will cover all the repair costs!"

He waved to his adjutant, "Arrange for repairs as soon as possible. Also, send men to follow those pirates, keep their distance, and ignore them as long as they don't attack civilians."

"yes!"

The adjutant glanced at Lieutenant General Garp, straightened his back, and strode away.

They're just Shichibukai; with naval heroes around, we're not afraid of anything!

"Sigh~" Yelena stared at Karp for a long time, deliberately letting her sigh reach his ears.

Karp immediately understood what she meant. "That guy is very clever. I have no right to fight him now. Maybe next time. I'll definitely let you see my ultimate move next time."

"We can't have a big meal now, but luckily I managed to get this from the Warring States period."

After saying that, he sat down on the ground, took out a bag of rice crackers from his pocket, and poured the whole bag into his mouth.

Yelena looked regretful.

To think that Ming could lose his life with just a few words—there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

However, being able to witness him being brutally beaten and not daring to fight back is like receiving some interest in advance.

Ultimately, he had to avenge himself.

After giving instructions to his subordinates, Colonel Linde turned around, eagerly sat down next to Karp, and spoke with great enthusiasm:

"Vice Admiral Garp, you are the Marine I admire most! It's such an honor to meet you in my jurisdiction!"

Yelena glanced at the dust on the ground with disdain and did not sit down.

However, given her height, even standing, she wasn't much taller than the two navy men in front of her.

There's no need to bow or raise your head when talking to each other.

"Isn't Admiral Akainu your most admired Marine?"

Upon hearing this, Colonel Linde almost lost his composure. He turned and glared at Yelena, his eyes warning: Don't talk nonsense!

Garp chuckled dismissively: "Sakazuki, huh? Not bad, he's an excellent marine."

Colonel Linde didn't want to dwell on the phrase "most admired naval officer," so he continued:

"I never expected that the support sent by Marineford would be from you! On behalf of the Swaro Island Naval Branch, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you! I am also very grateful to Fleet Admiral Sengoku for his high regard for us!"

This time, instead of bowing, he planned to kowtow directly to Garp.

Karp reached out and grabbed his shoulder, lifting him up. "What are you doing, you bastard Xie?"

"I only stole a few bags of snacks from him, and he actually sent this old man, who is on vacation, all the way to the North Sea. Sigh, if I had left Marineford a few hours earlier, I would be back in the East Sea by now, seeing that..."

Kap didn't say anything more after that, and Yelena guessed that he probably wanted to rush back and beat up his grandson or something.

Ace had just made a name for himself on the Grand Line, and Garp was seething with anger. Luffy was the perfect outlet for his frustration.

Unfortunately, Doflamingo got to experience the iron fist of love first.

Cheap him.

A few minutes later, a strangely shaped warship appeared on the sea. Instead of the usual ram, its bow was a huge dog's head.

"It's finally here, it's been so slow."

Lieutenant General Garp stood up from the ground, clutching his stomach, and wiped the drool that had dripped down his chin.

They were extremely hungry.

The senbei I just ate was clearly not even an appetizer.

Colonel Linde slapped his forehead, his face full of regret. "I'm so sorry, I almost forgot you rushed over to provide support without having breakfast. I'm so incompetent! Please invite Lieutenant General Kap and the soldiers of headquarters to have lunch at the branch."

Garp waved his hand. "No need to trouble yourself. Just eat on the warship. Once that Shichibukai brat leaves this island, I will set off again."
