Chapter 205: Adventure (4)

"So what should I do?" Raki asked in a serious tone.

The wind caressed her hair while her eyes were locked down below. His snake-like golden eyes had a predatory look on them right now. Her lips were dry from the wind as she waited for an answer to her question.

["Let me think.."] The button in his hand rang. It was Amon's voice that was silent for about 3 minutes before laughter came out of him. [Huh, I would love to show her what it means to target people who are useful to me. But for sure, this is not the time.”.

Raki flatly heard the word 'useful', he felt strange enough that he didn't even try to hide the fact that he didn't care about Robin, at least when he was nearby. He sometimes wondered what Robin would do if he knew ... 'We'll, whatever.' Raki shrugged and asked, "So what should I do? Lie down and let them keep trying to kill Robin?"

["Hm? Obviously, no."] Instead of laughing, he heard a soft laugh this time. ["You didn't call me because you wanted to lie down, did you?"]

Raki only grinned as the voice continued. ["You got a green card. Do whatever you want. Destroy the enemy's kingdom if necessary. I want to see Big Mom demand compensation."]

"Fantastic," Raki showed a grin on her teeth, "But, what if Big Mom is after me?"

["What? You scared?"]

"What, No." Raki stop. "I asked if I could kill him or not."

["Pfft-of course. Just don't get yourself killed. If you do, don't expect me to revive you or something, I don't yet have the true power of God."]

"Hehe, you'll have it someday. Anyway, bye~ I have a job to do."

Kacha !

Raki's grin widened as she took a breath. While the wind swept her hair, her wings flapping perpendicular, Raki looked down at the capital of Yashuk Kingdom. It was time for a beautiful explosion.

As a war was going on between the two emperors, on the other side of the sea – Sengoku hair started to turn gray from black. After all, he was very worried about his daughter.

First of all, he could not make his departure public. If he did, the Emperor and the Revolutionaries would make a move. That would be the worst case scenario. So he had sent Hina, one of the more Vice Admiral components. However, he was disappointed to find he also did not have a clue. Of course, he is a professional man. He would not just blame Hina for not having a clue yet.

But this was worrying.if the kidnapper was an ordinary thug, they would only regard his words as a bluff and laugh at him. But if they are higher in scale .. then they will not let this opportunity slide. Then, they must have contacted him by now. So nothing makes sense to Sengoku now. What do the kidnappers want...?

~Ring Ring Ring~

That's when Den Den Mushi on the table rang. He breathed and straightened his back. He picked up the phone and was surprised to find it was Hina.

["Master. We've found a clue about Miss Alice's current whereabouts.."] Sengoku's eyes widen. ["This ... is very hard to believe ..."]

"Well, whatever it is, just say it. I don't like buildings like this." Sengoku ordered that made Hina hum.

["He is.."] An******** is coming from the other side. ["My branch has seen it with a rookie, the Straw Hat Pirates. Grandchild of Vice Admiral Garp. We're-"]

Hina did not have time to say anything, as Sengoku had already rushed out of his office. His fists clenched as he walked with heavy strides. "THAT'S! NOT ONLY IS YOUR GRANDSON INTERFERING WITH YOUR LIFE, BUT MINE TOO! WE NEED TO TALK, GAAARP!"

Needless to say, it was a tiring day for GARP.

Gasparde is a former Marine turned Pirate. He had just become a Marine Warlord 1 year ago because there were three empty seats and the Marines were desperate.

Unlike when he was a Pirate, after becoming a Warlord, he usually spent his time leisurely on an island just a few kilometers away from Alabasta. After eating the Logia fruit, there were only a few people who could be a threat to him so his work was relatively easy. Moreover, since the Celestial Emperor considered all the islands surrounding Alabasta as his territory, the Pirates were more reluctant to cause trouble here.

So he was a little upset to hear today's report from one of his henchmen.

"This is a rookie from East Blue named Monkey. D Luffy." said his men. "He's here with his whole crew, causing trouble. The first thing he did was beat up some of our men who .. enjoyed their time with women at a bar. Our men are angry about it, they demand you to take action, boss."

Gasparde listened to the name of the culprit with a frown on his face. " Monkey D.  Luffy, you say?"

Being an ex-marine, it didn't take long for him to realize why the name sounded so familiar. While GARP Sea Hero is better known by his title, Gasparde also knows his real name. 'Is this kid related to GARP?'

He fell into silence. While he wants to deal with the boy now, kill him even – now he knows Luffy may be related to the strongest man Gasparde has ever seen, he is reluctant…

'Well, at least I can catch him. Maybe by handing it over to the Marines I can even get some rewards?' Gasparde thought for a moment before nodding to himself.

He stood up from his seat.

"Bring me there." He ordered his stooge who nodded in agreement.

Gasparde started walking in front of his henchmen to play strength while his mind was deep in what possibilities he could get from GARP by using Luffy as a negotiation chip.

"Hey, Lutfi!" Nami chased after Luffy and followed him as Luffy walked over with a face stoned. "You shouldn't have beaten them, you know."

Luffy immediately replied. "What, Nami? You mean, I should have seen them walking with those pathetic girls?"

"No. it's just-" Nami sighed. "This is the territory of the Warlord and they are the people of the Warlord. Defeating them here is like hurting a lion cub in his cave. We can ignore them, of course. We can't save every poor man in the world."

Unlike usual, Nami spoke in a soft tone. He knew he sounded selfish, he knew Luffy wouldn't listen to him. He also knew that what Luffy was doing was not something bad so he was not confident enough to raise his voice on Luffy.

Luffy stopped his steps and looked into Nami's eyes. "Nami, if someone tries to coerce you, and I'm nearby – are you sure I can ignore it?"

Nami froze in place. "That-" he tried to think of something in his head, but he was speechless.

From afar, the Honey Queen watched the scene with a deep sense of disdain hidden in her eyes. 'With that thought process, why was he a Pirate? The day he met someone like Amon was the day he would die.'

After all, he needed to report his progress to Amon. Offending a Warlord would definitely get him out, so Amon needed to know.

"Guys," he called out, breaking the awkward silence. "I need to pee, it's an emergency." He slightly blushed and turned around. "I'll look for you so there's no need to wait for me, goodbye!"
