One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 62 Investigating Nico Robin's Whereabouts

Time flies, and a week later...

Naval Headquarters.

The edge of the soldiers' training ground.

At this moment, many soldiers were practicing the unique marksmanship of the navy, and the scene was extremely spectacular from a distance.

In front of the many marines, a young boy was sitting comfortably in a deck chair, holding a watermelon juice.

"This gun even has a bayonet; it looks rather frightening."

"Fortunately, I'm an ice user. Anyone who dares to stab me, I'll freeze them instantly!"

Luo Xia waved his hands, which were encased in ice, triumphantly, making the marines in front of him afraid to thrust forward.

Suddenly, the naval commander, who was patrolling around, shouted, "All marines, stand back three meters!"

Although the marines didn't know what was going on, they followed orders.

The next moment, the sound of scattered footsteps reached Rorschach's ears.

Just then, a powerful sword aura slashed fiercely towards Luo Xia.

Luo Xia suddenly turned around, and his Tiger Hunt sword was instantly drawn, releasing a fiery red sword aura to meet the sword energy.

The two sword energies seemed to be fighting each other when they made contact. After a stalemate of several tens of seconds, the two sword energies dissipated into the air and turned into starlight.

Luo Xia sheathed his sword and looked up. At that moment, a man and a woman were walking towards him.

The man was wearing a distinctive ice-blue naval uniform.

The woman's navy cape had pink cuffs, making the conclusion obvious.

Moreover, the female navy woman opposite her was holding a knife.

Luo Xia and the other two walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Is Lieutenant General Geizon itching to do something lately?"

"Does he intend to just cut me down and then inherit my synthetic fruit?"

"Stop being so glib. I just wanted to test if your swordsmanship has improved."

"So far, it seems pretty good!" Gion nodded in approval.

Luo Xia then looked at Aokiji behind him and asked, "Boss, what's wrong? Is there a mission for me?"

Aokiji nodded and casually handed the newspaper in his hand to Rorschach.

Luo Xia took it, and his eyes were immediately drawn to the headline on it.

[Shocking! Straw Hat Luffy defeats Shichibukai Crocodile!]

Rorschach glanced at the newspaper, which mainly revealed the terrifying conspiracy behind Crocodile's heroic image.

After Rorschach finished reading, a wanted poster suddenly fell out from between the pages of the newspaper.

Rorschach picked it up and saw the iconic smile on the bounty poster.

"Monkey D. Luffy, bounty 100 million Berries!"

"That's pretty fast!"

Luo Xia glanced at it briefly, then looked up and stared directly at Aokiji, asking, "Boss, tell me, what mission do you want me to undertake?"

Aokiji scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled, and said, "I need you to investigate Nico Robin after she disappeared following the Alabasta Kingdom incident!"

"Oh? The one who knows ancient characters?"

"So, after we find him, we should bring him back, or..."

Aokiji was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Rorschach to know about Nico Robin.

Aokiji glanced around and finally said slowly, "Ara ara, come with me!"

After speaking, Aokiji took the lead and walked out of the training ground, followed closely by Rorschach and Gion.

The three strolled around the plaza of the Marine Headquarters. About five minutes later, Rorschach and his companions stopped in an open area.

Aokiji scratched his head, then waved his hand, and instantly three ice chairs appeared behind the three of them.

"Please sit down!"

Luo Xia didn't stand on ceremony. As soon as he sat down, he felt a rough texture, and felt that it wasn't as good as what he made.

"Oh, don't mind it, I just learned it from Rorschach recently!"

After saying that, Aokiji's expression immediately turned serious.

"Sengoku assigned me to investigate Nico Robin this time."

"Actually, this task is relatively simple for the Sea Knights. I'm very confident entrusting it to you!" Aokiji said earnestly.

Luo Xia's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

"Nicole Robin's captain is Luffy, and that guy fights like there's no tomorrow."

"What if that kid holds a grudge later?"

Aokiji didn't notice Rorschach's expression and continued, "If we find Nico Robin, and she's alone, bring her back directly."

"What if it were on someone else's ship? Like Luffy's ship, Garp's grandson?"

Aokiji choked on his words.

Ignoring Aokiji's expression, Luo Xia continued, "That straw hat guy fights like he's risking his life. What if he bleeds out and dies?"

"Have you even thought about this?"

"Besides, the Straw Hat crew hasn't learned Haki yet, and my ice-freezing ability is still very poorly mastered. What if I freeze someone to death?"

Luo Xia's worries weren't unfounded. His main focus right now was on swordsmanship and the Space Fruit, while he treated freezing as a secondary skill.

As for attack skills, Luo Xia had learned a few, but even he didn't know how many.

If we follow Rorschach's advice, then it's simply a matter of "just learning Aokiji's moves from now on, it's that easy!"

Rorschach's barrage of questions left Aokiji speechless, and even Gion couldn't help but remark, "You seem better suited for logistics."

"Yes, yes, I'm going to be the Minister of Logistics."

Aokiji sighed heavily and said slowly, "Come with me on a mission tomorrow!"

"Huh? You don't want me to go out to sea by myself?"

However, Aokiji did not answer him and walked away, looking quite annoyed.

Rorschach shrugged, saying helplessly, "I originally wanted to go to sea by myself, but it turns out..."

Time flies, and the next day arrived quickly.

As the sun rose, Rorschach strolled through the plaza of the Naval Headquarters.

The port of his destination.

Before long, Rorschach appeared, wearing a black shirt with a lifelike blue dragon tattooed on his shoulder, shorts, and a navy cape hanging behind him. His neat black hair made him look incredibly dashing.

When Rorschach arrived at the port, a large pile of things came into view, the most eye-catching of which were two bicycles.

Luo Xia frowned, walked over to Aokiji, pointed at the things on the ground, and asked, "Hey boss, what's all this stuff on the ground?"

"Oh dear, because I'm going to ride my bicycle to investigate."

Aokiji pointed to the items on the ground and said, "You should be able to take these supplies, right?"

"These things were originally meant to be put in the warship, but with you there, the two of us can ride bicycles!"

Luo Xia stared wide-eyed at the bicycle next to him, which was a size smaller, and asked hesitantly, "Is this bicycle for me?"

"That's right, I even spent a lot of Berries buying them from the store!"

Luo Xia swallowed hard, wondering whether he should run away.

After hesitating for about two minutes, Luo Xia sighed helplessly and said, "Luckily, I have the ability to freeze, otherwise how could I ride it!"

A bright blue light shone from Luo Xia's hand, and with a casual wave of his hand, all the supplies on the ground entered the system space.

Of course, the other Marines wouldn't know this; they would only assume it was a Devil Fruit ability.

In this world, the only strange thing can be attributed to Devil Fruits.

This is one of the reasons why Rorschach can use the system so freely.
