“What?
This young man named Roy is at most only in his teens, right?
He has the strength of an admiral candidate!?”
After learning of Garp’s evaluation of Roy, Commander Ryan and the other Marine soldiers exclaimed in shock.
“Doesn’t that mean… doesn’t that mean he’s comparable to Vice Admiral Gion, also known as Momousagi from headquarters?”
A young man of only fifteen or sixteen actually possessed the qualifications to compete for the position of admiral.
If they had not personally witnessed the battle between Roy and Vice Admiral Garp just now, and if those words had not come from Vice Admiral Garp himself…
Commander Ryan would have thought someone was joking!
“Roy, do you want to return to Marine Headquarters with this old man?
If Sengoku personally sees your strength, he’ll definitely raise both hands in approval of my decision to make you one of the Seven Warlords!”
“Ahahahaha!
Returning to headquarters with an interesting young man like you definitely won’t be boring along the way!”
Garp returned to his unserious appearance, looking completely carefree.
He even picked his nose without caring about his image at all as he extended an invitation to Roy.
The glorious image of the Marine Hero instantly collapsed.
“Vice Admiral Garp, you only just met him for the first time, and you already want to bring him to Marine Headquarters.
Isn’t that a little inappropriate?”
Commander Ryan and the other Marine soldiers immediately held their foreheads helplessly after hearing Garp’s words.
“No.
I’ll go there myself after some time.”
Roy shook his head.
At present, there were still many famous places in East Blue where Roy could check in.
Therefore, Roy’s current decision was to first travel around East Blue and check in at famous locations!
Then he would obtain all kinds of rewards and become even stronger!
“That really is a pity.
But it doesn’t matter.
Young people, after all.
Ahahahaha!”
Garp laughed heartily.
Roy suddenly said, “Vice Admiral Garp, your warship should have some spare small wooden boats, right?
Since you’ve already invited me to become one of the Seven Warlords, giving me a small boat shouldn’t be a problem, should it?” This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
Roy’s own wooden boat was very crude and was not suitable for long-distance sailing.
Although his Wood Release could also create a boat, how could that compare to getting one for free?
“Sure.
As repayment for killing those pirates earlier, and considering your future identity as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, this old man can provide you with a small boat!”
Garp nodded and agreed.
A small wooden boat was not expensive.
Even directly gifting one to Roy was no issue.
From his words, it could be heard that he had already determined that Roy could absolutely become one of the Seven Warlords.
Garp trusted his own judgment of people.
“Ryan, go to the warship and take out one of the wooden boats stored in the cabin for Roy!”
Garp said to Commander Ryan.
“Yes, Vice Admiral Garp!”
Ryan accepted the order and immediately brought several Marine soldiers with him to fetch the boat.
At that moment, Garp, who was picking his nose, suddenly said, “Roy, you trained alone for ten years.
You probably haven’t experienced a bonfire party before, have you?”
“This old man has decided to hold a bonfire party tonight.
Want to join us?”
Garp invited Roy.
He planned to return to Marine Headquarters tomorrow, so before returning, he wanted everyone to relax a little.
Roy hesitated for a moment.
Then he nodded.
“Good!
Hahaha!
You lot, go bring out the food and wine from the warship.
Tonight, I’m going to drink to my heart’s content with Roy!
Hahahahaha!
It’s been a long time since I met such a monstrous young man—or rather, I’ve never seen one before.
Ahahahaha!”
…
That night.
A bonfire slowly rose on the open ground.
Garp, Roy, and the other Marines gathered around the fire and began eating and drinking heartily.
“Roy, come on, cheers!”
Garp raised a wooden wine cup and prepared to clink cups with Roy, but halfway through the toast, a white oval bubble suddenly appeared at his nose.
Then his head drooped, and he fell asleep directly.
“An old tradition of the D.
clan.”
Roy watched Garp fall asleep even while clinking cups.
Although his expression did not change, Roy inwardly commented on it.
After sleeping for less than a few seconds, Garp suddenly woke up.
Then he once again extended the wine cup in his hand toward Roy and said, “Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
Roy smiled helplessly, stretched out the hand holding his wine cup, clinked cups with Garp, then drank the rum in his cup in one gulp.
The bonfire party continued until the latter half of the night.
After the revelry, everyone collapsed on the beach and fell asleep without caring about their image.
Roy, however, was still very clear-headed.
Because he had not drunk too much.
“One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea…”
“That’s a little interesting.”
Everything that had happened today was full of drama.
After ten years of bitter training in Wood Release, he had just been preparing to set out to sea and travel.
Then he encountered Marine Hero Garp and was even invited by the other party to join the Seven Warlords.
A sixteen-year-old Seven Warlord?
As expected of Garp’s style!
Roy looked at the Marines nearby, all of them lying around in every direction, sleeping like pigs.
It was probably only because their superior was Garp.
That was why they dared to get this drunk.
If a group of pirates appeared at a time like this, wouldn’t they be able to wipe them all out?
