A LITTLE FAR FROM SYRUP VILLAGE, GECKO ISLAND WATERS.
"Grandpa..?" Luffy says shocking the crew,
"GRAND PA..?" Zoro, Nami and Ussop asked in unison with a shocked look,
The Going Merry is trying to make a run for it but Garp's Marine Vessel manage to remain on Merry's tail.
"Luffy..!
He is The Hero Of The Navy..!
The Famous Vice Admiral Of The Marines, Garp..?" Nami ask with a confused look,
"And you just called him, Grandpa..!" Zoro ask with a questioning look,
"Guys...!
INCOMING..!" Ussop says screaming and ducking down looking at the incoming Cannon Ball, breaking The Ship Railing.
"Hit The DECK..!" Ussop says screaming at another Cannon Ball breaking the side,
"Ussop..!
Prepare our Cannons..
Fire back at them.." Luffy says with a commanding tone,
"How about we sail away as fast as we can..?" Ussop says kinda freaking out to which Nami shrugged agreeing,
"Run from The Marines..?
Never..!
Nami, Trim that....The....eh... The Sail thing... Ussop, let's sink their ship..!" Luffy says helping Ussop to prepare the Cannon,
"We have no time, you idiot..!
They are gaining on us and they're stealing our wind..." Nami says looking frightened,
"You're The Navigator, Nami..!
Do something.." Luffy says preparing The Cannons with Ussop,
"Grrr,Idiots..
Zoro..! Sheet in and hard to port.." Nami says with a scared tone trying to get herself together,
Zoro nodded and do as Nami asked him to. Luffy and Ussop have no clue how to load a cannonball,
Nami told Ussop to lead the cannon in the barrel but he dropped it and the Cannonballs roll all over the deck.
Ussop sweatdrop in embarrassment while Nami and Zoro sighed,
"Pirate Vessel...
By order of the Marines,
Lower your sail and surrender to my authority..." Garp says speaking on a Transponder Speakerphone Snail,
"NEVERRRRRRR" Luffy says screaming to his lungs,
"Alright, you brat..!
Have it your way.." Garp says with a smirk taking off his coat,
He picked up the Cannonballs with his bare hand and started throwing it at Luffy... Luffy stretched his body into a baloon and redirect the cannonballs to Garp's Marine Vessel damaging it's sail.
Garp got furious as he screamed towards Luffy and then started laughing to his heart..
"Ohh, Not bad boy..!" Garp says with a laugh confusing Koby and Helmappo,
"Luffy..!
That's amazing...
You saved us, Hahahahah..." Ussop says in joy running to Luffy and both started dancing around,
"Shesheshehse...
Nami, Get us out of here.." Luffy says with a grin,
"On it..." Nami says with a smirk, steering the ship away,
Nami steer them out of Garp's sight as The Marine Vessel cannot follow them for a while since Luffy break their sail.
After putting enough distance between them, Zoro check the Ships damage.
"How's the ship..?" Nami ask while steering the ship,
"Broken Railing and Minor damage...
Could've been a lot worse.." Zoro says walking up to Nami,
"Could've been better..." Nami says shrugging,
"We need to find a place to lay low,
Wait out any reinforcement they sent after us.." Nami says suggesting an alternative,
"What did Luffy says..?" Zoro ask with hands cross,
"He's on that bow,
Hasn't said anything since we hightailed it.." Ussop says walking up to Nami and Zoro,
"Well somebody needs to talk to him..
About this and that other thing.." Nami says with a suspicious look,
"What other thing..?" Zoro ask with a confused look,
"Oh Gee... I Wonder..!" Nami says rolling her eyes to which Ussop shrugged not having a clue,
"The Vice Admiral Of The Marine Is My Grandfather Thing..." Nami says with an obvious look,
"Doesn't seems like a big deal to me.." Zoro says with a shrug,
"You're his First Mate...
Kinda fall under your job description.." Nami says with an eyebrow rise looking at Zoro,
"Fine.." Zoro says with a defeated sigh as he walked away to find Luffy,
Zoro find Luffy sitting on The Goat head looking at the sea...
"Hey, how you doing..!" Zoro ask standing beside Luffy's spot looking at the sea,
"Great..!" Luffy says not looking at Zoro,
"You wanna talk about what happened..?" Zoro ask looking at Luffy,
"Nope..." Luffy says still looking at the sea,
"Alright, Good Talk..!" Zoro says turning around and walking away,
Zoro walked towards Nami and Ussop who were looking at him with curiosity.
"He seems fine to me.." Zoro says walking pass Nami,
"Did you even ask him..?" Nami ask with a defeated head shook,
Ussop screamed Land Ahoy but seems like a ship rather than land..
It says Baratie...
A Fish Shapped Ship looks like a Restaurant in the middle of the sea.
"A Fish Ship..?" Zoro ask with a confused look,
"Smells like a Restaurant.." Nami says with a smile,
"Alright Crew..." Luffy says with a smirk,
"NOT A CREW..." Nami says with an annoyed sigh,
"Never Mind...
He's not gonna listen.." Zoro says with a defeated head shook,
"Here's the plan.." Luffy says to which Nami, Zoro and Ussop listened seriously,
"We're gonna eat.." Luffy says getting a smack on the head from Nami,
"That Fish better have A Bar..." Zoro says with a smirk,
"Are you MORONS SERIOUS..?" Nami ask glaring at Zoro while Punching Luffy,
They all get inside the Baratie to find all tables are taken and need reservation,
But available only after 3 weeks..
"Maybe you wanna check your book again that you wouldn't wanna turn away The Future King Of The Pirates, Would we..?" Ussop says putting his hands around The receptionist's shoulder,
"Oh..Well in that case,
We'll find a table..." The Receptionist says with a smile,
Luffy tap Ussop's shoulder with a proud look as good job.
"As in three weeks.." The Receptionist says but Ussop and Luffy didn't seem to hear,
Nami on the other hand heard and she bribe the receptionist with money as he agreed. Ussop brag about his sweet talk when Nami just smirked at Zoro knowing it was her doing to which he smirked back.
The Receptionist show them a table and they all sat down.
There seems to be a fight between a blonde Marine guy in a gray suit and a Pirate Captain.
Suddenly another Blonde haired guy in black suit kicked them both, easily knocking them out without even wasting a single drop of food.
"Ai, No cause for alarm guys..!
You know the rules around here..
No fighting and certainly no wasting food.. Please enjoy your meal." The Blonde guy in black suit says with a smug look,
He approached Luffy's table as he was their waiter for that time..
"Hi,
Welcome to our Shitty Restaurant..
My name is Sanji and what can i get for you..?" Sani says introducing himself as a gentleman,
"One of everything, Please.." Luffy says with a grin,
"Alright, Any drinks..?
One of our signature cocktail to help you chock down your meal.." Sanji ask smiling at Luffy,
"Giving us the hard sell, huh..?" Nami ask with a smirk,
"Apologies, Madam..!
I don't see you there,
Would you care for an Apéritif to start..?
We have several rare Micqueot vintages in stock..
Or perhaps you'd like a glass of Umeshu..?
You Know, Something sweet for someone sweet..!" Sani says with a smirk snd a flirty tone,
Ussop looked at Nami with a smirky smile, Luffy have no clue about what's happening...
Zoro on the other hand smirked, laughing at Nami to which she was annoyed.
"Is something wrong with your eye..?" Nami ask looking at Sanji with one eye to the view and hide other behind his hair.
"Just blinded by your beauty..." Sanji says with a smirk to which Nami looked surprise with an eyebrows rise,
This time, Zoro got a bit annoyed and he cleared his throat getting Sanji's attention.
"Waiter, Can i get a beer and something for my friends..?" Zoro ask looking a bit uncomfortable but didn't show it out,
"Two Beers..." Ussop says with a grin,
"And Milk, I don't drink Alcohol.." Luffy says eating snacks,
"3 beers and a Milk...
And, uh... For you Madam..?" Sanji ask whth a flirty smile to which Zoro unknowingly gripped his hand staring at Sanji,
"Water.." Nami says with a smile,
"Still, Sparkling, Mineral..?
With or Without Ice..?
Cubed or Crushed..?" Sanji ask with a flirty smirk,
"Regular Water in a Regular Glass, Thanks.." Nami says with a confused smile,
"Rrrright away, Madam.." Sanji says with a gentleman bow and walked away.
"Ahhhhhhh" Ussop just make a funny sound looking at Nami,
"What..?" Nami looked at Ussop and then at Zoro smirking at her as she shook her head,
"Nothing, Madam...!
Forgive my rude behavior, Madam.
Would Madam prefer her water in a crystal glass, or a golden bowl be more Madem's style..?" Zoro says clearly teasing Nami with a smirk,
"Nami's got a boyfriend..." Usspp says with a laugh,
Ussop, Zoro and even Luffy laughed at Ussop's joke..
"You guys are the worst.." Nami says with a laugh,
On Garp's Marine Vessel,
Garp walk around the ship, watching the damages Luffy have done there,
Bogard gave full status report on the damage... Garp went to his quarters and took a Snail Phone..
The conversation follows..
"Hello.." Garp says starting the conversation,
All Garp can hear is Men screaming in pain and Sword clangs...
"Mihawk..! Did i catch you in the middle of something..?" Garp ask the one none other than The Seven Warlords Of The Seas,
Dracula Mihawk Hawkeye...
"Just killing some time.." Mihawk says fighting with Pirates,
"What can i do for you, Vice Admiral..?" Mihawk asks Garp with a sigh,
"I have a request for you,
One that suits your particular talents..." Garp says expecting Mihawk to take the deal,
"Who's the quarry..?" Mihawk ask with curiosity,
"A young upstart name Luffy...
Fancies himself a Pirate.." Garp says with a smirk,
"Doesn't sound like much of a challenge.." Mihawk says with a disappointed look,
"No, Don't understand him...
He is a wild card." Garp says with a stare,
"One moment..." Mihawk says as he encounter the upcoming Pirates,
A Pirate ship is been shooting cannons at him non stop and it irritates Mihawk,
He just slices the mid air in the direction of that ship..
A powerful Shockwave created from Mihawk's sword cut that ship in two.
"That is enough, Hawkeye...
You killed my men...
Destroyed my fleet...
Why are you after me..?" Don Krieg of East Blue ask with anger,
"You woke me fron my nap..." Mihawk says it like nothing,
"Then allow me to make it permanent.." Don Krieg says shooting hand cannons at Mihawk,
He easily sliced the bullets shocking Don Krieg... And with that, Garp hears Don Krieg's final scream via The snail...
"Apologies, Vice Admiral...
You peaked my interest..
Where am i headed..?" Mihawk ask agreeing cor the side quest,
"East Blue, Sambas Region..
And Mihawk..! Bring him alive by any means necessary..." Garp says while Koby eavesdropping,
