Chapter 99 Did the old man in the player's starting village...?
"Fist-Bone Meteor Shower!"
Countless cannonballs hurtled toward the ship where Vil was, like shooting stars. Namuel and Jinbe tried their best to stop them, but many cannonballs still hit the ship very close, causing the entire ship to shake violently and dangerously.
[You've encountered a new event!]
[The event "...He's the village chief of the newbie village? No, wait!" has begun. Please escape from this strange newbie village chief!]
Enjoy the game!
A ball of ice-blue light emerged from the ship's cabin and rapidly expanded. White frost quickly formed on the shells enveloped by the light, and in less than a second, the frost expanded so rapidly that it covered the entire shell.
The cannonball, now completely transformed into a snow-white ice ball, plummeted into the sea with a resounding splash, and then fell silent.
Bogart, standing two steps behind Garp, stared intently at the room where the halo had appeared.
Was that the person who froze the rat colonel?
After leaving Cocoyasi Village, Bogart began his investigation. After realizing the true nature of the rat colonel, he stripped him of his power and waited for him to be thawed and sign the confirmation document.
However, even though the one frozen was a bastard that Bogart would spit on, it doesn't mean that the one who attacked the bastard wasn't another bastard.
Bogart had followed Vice Admiral Garp across the seas for many years, and most of the battles and conflicts he had witnessed were the kind where dogs fight each other.
A hand reached out from the window of that room, gripping the wooden bar behind its back. The muscles in the arm tensed for a moment, and then a figure nimbly and gracefully slipped out of the room and leaped onto the deck.
Bogart narrowed his eyes. Although his skin looked whiter and his eyes darker, and he exuded a strange melancholy aura, that face was indeed that of the "Shadow of the Devil" who had amassed 70 million Berries upon his first appearance and whose bounty doubled with each subsequent increase.
Both her young age and the strength she displayed when she came into the Navy's sights twice left a deep impression on Bogart.
The first time was when she summoned and controlled a shadow-like monster hand; the second time was when she summoned Namur. This time, she displayed an ability similar to the Ice-Ice Fruit.
Bogart secretly increased her perceived danger level.
"Vice Admiral Garp!" After Violet managed to control the cannonballs, Jinbe, who could finally catch his breath, looked at Garp. "The World Government must have said that the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Navy do not interfere with each other."
Garp scoffed and looked at Namur: "So you broke away from Whitebeard and became that guy's subordinate?"
Namuel: "How is this possible?!"
“That solves it,” Garp laughed. “Jinbe can leave, but you all have to stay.”
"And you, kid, why do you have abilities like Kuzan?"
Vera exclaimed in surprise, "Grandpa, you know Kuzan too?"
"This guy's actually quite polite?" Bogart raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
Garp: "Hmm, that brat, he's barely my disciple. Are you close to Kuzan, kid?"
Violet smiled and drew her Shadow Sword: "Of course, I'm the woman who's about to defeat him!"
"Grandpa, if you ever run into Kuzan, remember to give him a message for me, just say..." Violet stepped onto the railing and leaped towards the warship, "Get him clean and ready for me to kick his ass!"
"Hahaha, what a powerful statement!" Garp clenched his fist and punched Violet, who was attacking him. "But I'll wait until you're locked up in Impel Down before I make him hear it in person!"
The Shadow Sword, with its extremely severe side effects, is a product of pure magic. The power of the amethyst imprisoned humanity's most fundamental fears, ultimately coalescing into a weapon akin to a nightmare.
What confronted the Shadow Sword was merely a pair of mortal fists. Garp didn't even bother to gather his strength; he simply raised his hand, clenched his fist, and slammed it down. Violet felt as if she had been hit by a train engine, and like a kite with a broken string, she was sent flying back to the ship at a speed a hundred times faster than expected.
Bang--
Violet smashed through several rooms before falling back to her original position.
She got up from a pile of wood shards, shook her head, and shook her head again, feeling as if Garp's punch had completely destroyed her ability to think.
Is Kuzan's teacher that strong?
Violet patted the handmade tombstone not far away and mentally stabbed John.
Look at other teachers, they can talk back when their students are provoked. And look at you, John, tsk tsk.
"He's telling the truth. You're just too incompetent, kid."
John's voice echoed in Vera's mind. Vera turned to look at the tombstone, surprised, "You actually appeared while I wasn't sleeping?! No, wait, judging from your tone, so you were able to defeat Garp, you're stronger than him?"
Given that Garp said he could be considered Kuzan's teacher, and that Val felt John could also be considered her teacher, if John was stronger than Garp, then by a rounding up, she was stronger than Kuzan.
John became like a dead man buried under a cold, lifeless tombstone again, and began to remain silent.
Rosinante: "Ville, are you alright?"
Oh, dear Rosinante is still more considerate.
Vera stood up: "It's okay, I can still fight... Ouch!"
She had just gripped the Shadow Sword when she felt a sharp pain in her arm. Looking down, she saw that both of her arms were abnormally swollen.
Vera: "...It seems to have broken?"
"What?!" Rosinandi exclaimed in horror, "It's broken?!"
"Wow, that's really strong... Rosinandi has some Polish dumplings in his fridge, could you get me a few portions?"
Violet stood there, mouth agape, accepting food from Rosinandi, who was half-squatting down. As she chewed, she said angrily, "Hmph, I was too careless just now. When we join forces, we'll definitely make Garp run away in defeat."
Rosinandi: "..."
Rosinandi: "Uh..."
Violet: "What? Rosinante, don't be discouraged! You have to believe in our combined strength!"
Rosinante thought about Mr. Garp's iron fist and realized that no matter how much he believed in his own strength, he couldn't possibly make Mr. Garp run away in defeat.
No, it should be said that he couldn't even imagine that scene!
That's Mr. Garp! Back when we were training in the Navy, Rosinante saw Mr. Garp beat up Mr. Dragon quite a few times. Mr. Garp even treats his own son with a Spartan style of "the weak are not worthy to be my sons". When dealing with a troublesome kid like Violet, he's like he's holding a hammer and wants to give her a good whack.
With her fractured hands rapidly healed thanks to the increased health from the Polish dumplings, Violet brandished her Shadow Sword, eager to try again: "Alright, this time I'll definitely last longer!"
"Come on, Rosinante! Hehehe, this is a righteous two against one!"
Rosinante: Huh? What?
Violet chose [Enrage].
Just like when he encountered that group of spiders last time, Rosinante was suddenly filled with a huge rage, so intense that it consumed all his reason.
Rosinante: "Who hurt my sister!"
Violet and Rosinandi rushed out together.
Leading the charge was an excited Violet. Bogart was a little surprised when he saw Violet; he hadn't expected that after taking such a blow from Mr. Garp, there wouldn't be any obvious injuries on her body.
I clearly didn't see her use Armament Haki at the time.
But the next second, Rosinante, who appeared right behind Violet and was surrounded by a red glow, startled him so much that he almost bit his tongue.
Despite the strange makeup on his face and the street-smart attire, Bogart recognized the glowing red figure as Lieutenant Colonel Rosinandi, Sengoku's adopted son, who had tragically died during a secret mission.
How could he be here? No, wait, he's still alive.
Bogart gripped his longsword tightly, forcing himself to calm down. Looking closely, he noticed that Lieutenant Colonel Rosinandi seemed abnormal; he was semi-transparent and was actually charging towards Mr. Garp. Could it be…?
That "Shadow of the Devil" toyed with Lieutenant Colonel Rosinandi's dead soul and even manipulated and brainwashed him?!
When faced with Vel's renewed attack, Garp responded by raising his fist once more.
Whether facing pirates, apprentices, or his own sons and grandsons, Garp's educational philosophy is very simple and brutal.
There's nothing that can't be solved with one punch; if there is, then just throw a few more punches.
There's no such thing as a rebellious phase!
Bang! Bang!
Garp clenched his fist and exchanged several punches with Val, who was holding the Shadow Sword. During the exchange, he also grabbed Rosinante by the collar and slammed her into the sea.
Garp looked down at the brat whose tiger's mouth was cracked and bleeding from the shock. She seemed to feel no pain at all. Instead of retreating or despairing because of the power gap between the two of them that she noticed during the battle, she became more and more excited.
It's her weapon...
Karp stared at the Shadow Sword in Violet's hand. The strangely shaped sword gave him a bad feeling, as if it were a sword formed from all kinds of malice and fear on the sea.
Garp had faced those legendary cursed swords before, but even those swords didn't give him such a strange feeling. He wondered where such a small brat had gotten such a weapon.
"Hey, kid." Garp looked at Violet, who was wiping blood off her clothes to prevent her weapon from slipping off, and asked, "Why don't you join the Navy?"
Namur, who had always wanted Violet to join their Whitebeard Pirates and become their sister but had never succeeded, exclaimed: "Hey, Garp, what are you talking about? How could Viole possibly become a Marine?!"
"navy?"
Violet looked at Garp and wondered if this was a point where she had to choose a faction. Damn it, why is there no save file in this game?
Garp took Violet's hesitation as a sign of rejection and revealed a dangerous expression: "If you don't want to be a Marine, do you want to be a pirate?"
This is still a choice between two camps, no, her wealth is growing rapidly, why should she have to choose between the path of officialdom and illegal activities?!
After thinking for a moment, Violet took out the business card that Tesoro had given her during their meeting, which was supposedly designed by a designer at a high price.
"Actually, my profession is farming."
"Take a look at the La Leyeh Fruit and Vegetable Operation Line. We promise that all our agricultural products are organic and pollution-free, without pesticides or any growth hormones. From harvesting to delivery, we use a cold chain transportation throughout the entire process to ensure absolute freshness and deliciousness."
"Currently on sale, pre-order now!"
Clutching a postcard with the beautifully handwritten "[R'lyeh Fruit and Vegetable Transport Line]" on it: ...
Bogart, who almost threw out his back from the sudden shift in tone from a life-or-death battle: ...
Rosinandi, who struggled to resurface from the sea: ...
After everyone was shocked, one sentence flashed through their minds at the same time.
This is what professionalism is.
If you don't get rich, who will?
