Mina set up a bonfire on an unnamed island.
A leg from a giant Sea King, over a hundred meters long, was propped over the fire, roasting until it sizzled with oil.
The rich aroma of meat drifted for miles, whetting anyone’s appetite.
As soon as it was cooked, she couldn’t wait to take a huge bite, and a happy smile instantly filled her face.
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing whistling sound approached from the distance, growing louder and louder.
A pitch-black cannonball, trailing a long wake, whistled toward Mina’s back at a sonic speed that was hard for the naked eye to track.
“Hmm?” Mina frowned slightly, the pleasure of enjoying her meal instantly replaced by annoyance.
What she hated most was being disturbed while eating.
Seeing the cannonball about to strike, Mina couldn’t even be bothered to turn her head; she just waved her hand backward.
“Boom!” That cannonball, capable of blasting a warship into fragments, was like a mosquito hit by a flyswatter; it exploded directly in mid-air, turning into a brilliant display of fireworks.
“Pwahahahaha!” On the sea in the distance, a burst of heroic laughter echoed from a dog-headed warship.
A burly, middle-aged man with graying temples, looking full of vigor and wearing a cape emblazoned with “Justice,” stood at the bow, waving in this direction.
The Marine hero, Monkey D.
Garp.
“Do you have any idea how irritating it is to be disturbed while eating!” Mina turned her head and shouted with great resentment, looking at the culprit.
Then, she grabbed a huge reef rock over three meters high beside her, put her waist into it, and threw it forward with force!
Under the enhancement of her terrifying strength, that heavy reef rock turned into a real cannonball, hurtling toward the dog-headed warship with a terrifying momentum that tore through the air!
“Not bad!” Garp watched the whistling “reef cannonball,” a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
“Shave!” He stomped hard on the ground and instantly vanished from where he stood.
The next second, he appeared in mid-air, facing that massive reef rock, and swung his bulging, muscular iron fist!
“Fist Meteor!” “Boom—!!!” In the face of Garp’s unreasonably powerful punch, the hard reef rock was instantly shattered like tofu, turning into stone debris that rained down onto the sea.
Looking at the figure opposite her, who was full of fighting spirit and exuding a powerful aura, Mina had no interest in fighting at all.
To her, nothing was more important than filling her stomach right now.
So, amidst the tense atmosphere, Mina shouted something completely out of the blue.
“Hey!
You want to eat or what?” Garp, who was just about to attack again, was stunned on the spot by this sudden outburst.
Eat…
eat?
Is this girl’s brain okay?
Before he could react, a giant palm that blocked his vision enveloped him.
The next second, the world spun, and he felt his whole body flying uncontrollably.
Finally, the sky brightened, and he was thrown next to a huge piece of roasted meat.
After grabbing Garp, Mina ignored him and went back to happily devouring the roasted fish leg.
Garp climbed up from the ground, looking dumbfounded at the carefree, crazy girl in front of him.
He smelled the thick, rich aroma of meat in the air, and his stomach let out an untimely, thunderous rumble.
Hungry.
Forget it, might as well eat first.
Garp didn’t stand on ceremony; he tore off a large piece of roasted meat and began wolfing it down.
One old, one young, the two big eaters, right in front of the dumbfounded Marines, swept through the giant Sea King and ate it all clean.
After eating and drinking to her heart’s content, Mina let out a long burp.
Looking down from above at Garp, who was as small as an ant at her feet, she asked lazily.
“Hey, old man, what did you come here for?” Garp wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, finally remembering the purpose of his trip.
“Ahem,” he cleared his throat and put on a serious expression.
“Wait!
You girl, you almost confused me!
Did you go around telling people that you are my personal disciple?” “I didn’t say that,” Mina blinked innocently.
“When did I say that?
Don’t go slandering a good person.” “You’re a Marine, Marines can’t just slander people!
I’m suing you for slander!
You’re slandering me!” Looking at the girl screaming and acting just as weirdly as he did when he was young, Garp had black lines on his forehead.
He clearly remembered not having a daughter; this attitude was like it was carved from the same mold as his own.
Just as he was getting a headache, his peripheral vision caught the wreckage of three luxury cruise ships docked on the other side of the island.
The sails were imprinted with the emblem of the World Government.
The smile on Garp’s face instantly vanished, replaced by unprecedented seriousness.
“Girl, where did you get those three ships?” His tone carried a hint of nervousness that even he didn’t notice.
“Do you have any idea what kind of trouble you’ve caused!” “Oh, that,” Mina looked in the direction of his gaze and said indifferently, “I got them from three pieces of trash.
They insisted on giving them to me, so I felt bad refusing.” She patted her stomach and added, “If you want them, you can take them.
But you have to trade me something for them.” Watching Mina’s incredibly carefree attitude, Garp couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
He didn’t expect this girl to be even more thick-skinned than he was.
Forget it, forget it, just pretend I didn’t see it.
After all, he himself had no fondness for those so-called World Nobles either, and had even publicly called them trash more than once.
It’s just as well that they’re dead; anyway, this matter is for the Admirals to handle, for the Fleet Admiral to handle; it’s not up to a mere Vice Admiral like him to deal with it.
Seeing that Garp hadn’t said anything for a long time, Mina couldn’t be bothered with him.
Suddenly thinking of something, her eyes lit up, and she leaned in to ask.
“Hey, old man, that punch of yours looked pretty strong earlier.
Can you teach me a few moves?” “In your dreams!” Garp rolled his eyes at her.
“Let me give you a friendly reminder: you’re a pirate, and I’m a Marine!
However, if you’re willing to join the Marines, I wouldn’t be opposed to considering teaching you a few moves.” “I’m not a pirate!” Mina immediately retorted.
“I don’t even have a bounty poster!
I’m a great adventurer!
I’m going to sue you for slander again!” Then, she paused and said in an extremely disdainful tone, “And, the Marines?
Not even a dog would go there!” Seeing the atmosphere about to freeze again, Mina rolled her eyes, and a devilishly cunning smile appeared on her face once more.
“Oh right, right, Garp, you little old man, believe it or not, I can make you willing to teach me with just four words…” “What is it?
I don’t believe it!” “Roger…
Ace…” As the words fell.
The disdainful and amused expression on Garp’s face instantly froze.
