"So, Where is this Kid I Hear about?" Garp asked Rosinante in front of him, He points to Erik dumbly looking at Garp.
"Bwahahaha, Rosinante, Nice joke." Garp laughed as Rosinante had a nervous laugh on his face and A vein was bulging in Erik's forehead.
"I am not joking, Garp-San." Rosinante said, Garp stopped laughing and approached Erik. Upon arriving near Erik, he observed the blonde who was observing the tall and muscular man In front of him as well.
Garp pulled his arm back slowly, indicating to Erik that they were going to fight right then and there. Erik backed away as Garp's fist was about to hit him.
Garp's fist, Even when he was holding back was still faster than Erik's reaction speed, if he hadn't dodged then Garp's fist could have blown him back several meters.
'Garp is testing me.' Erik thought as he dodged another one of Garp's punches. Erik ran over to a Nearby marine and snatched his cutlass. He didn't have his daggers, katana or gun with him, so it was a better choice to get a weapon than fist fight someone who is literally known as "The Fist".
"I will give it back later." Erik said as he approached Garp, He coated the sword with armament and slashed at Garp, throwing a flying slash at the older man.
"Bwahahaha, Haki in the blues, Though I wonder where you learnt it from." Garp commented as he rushed at Erik with a haki coated fist. Erik's eyes widened as Garp appeared before Erik in an instant using Soru. It seemed like Garp was deliberately testing Erik's limits when it came to battle.
Although Garp appeared In front of Erik, he didn't pull his arm back only after Erik noticed him and released his haki coated fist at Erik.
'This is bad.' Erik thought as he ducked under Garp's punch, The pressure in the Air created by Garp's fist managed to hit Erik though and he was knocked back several meters.
Garp cracked his knuckles with a grin as he slowly approached Erik, who was lying on the ground.
Erik punched the Ground very fast, causing him to slide several metres back from the recoil of the kick. Garp seemed to be impressed by the amazing display of Intelligence.
"I have understood what your limits are, I will end this quickly now." Garp said as with another Story, He flashed ahead of Erik in an instant, Punching the poor kid with his fist.
Erik was easily knocked out by Garp's punch. The next time he woke up, it was in Garp's ship, Leaving Bisko port.
"You finally woke up." A marine soldier on Garp'd ship commented. He was cleaning the deck with a broom.
"Are we in Garp-san's ship?" Erik asked, The soldier nodded while cleaning the floor. Erik got up and Went to the upper deck of the ship.
A few soldiers were there, along with Garp, Law, Rosinante and Bogard. Rosinante seemed to be discussing something with Garp, this time Garp wasn't laughing like he usually does or being his goofy self.
After Erik arrived, Their conversation seemed to end with Garp glancing at Law and Erik.
"William D. Erik and Trafalgar D. Water Law, huh." Garp said as he approached Erik and Law and put a hand on their shoulders.
"Bwahahaha, You don't need to hide your names brats, My Full name is Monkey D. Garp, not many know about it." Garp laughed as he patted Law and Erik's backs.
"Brats, If you are Worried about Celestial Dragons, Then You Brats are Under My protection." Garp said as he left the Upper deck eating rice crackers. Erik and Law watched him walk away with his back facing them.
"Is His name really Monkey D. Garp?" Law asked Bogart, Hwo nodded. Erik already knew that already but couldn't help but sigh as Bogard nodded.
***
A month has passed since Garp came to Bisko island. Not many things have happened in the month but they have finally arrived to Marine ford Hq.
The place was as big as many large islands and was entirely a marine base, there were many marines training on the island.
Looking down on the dog figured ship, Sengoku, The buddha watched from atop the main platform of the head quarters, Brushing his braided beard with his hands.
"You have finally arrived! Corazon!"
