(A few minutes before)

"Leo has sent a message," Rindou said with almost all the crew on the deck. "He wants us to escape this island quickly, and he will escape on his own."

"He wants to use that teleportation scroll, right?" Carina asked while Nami moved toward the helm to get the black pearl out of this dock.

But before anyone could answer her questions, they saw Zoro throwing Smoker out of the ship toward the dock like someone would throw trash out of his house.

"What? He has already accepted the crew card, so he isn't the problem now," Zoro explained with a tired face.

Zoro was really tired after his talk with Smoker. After all, it was almost difficult as hell to get him to agree.

Tricking him into using the card was more difficult than fighting him, and he is a Logia fruit user, and that alone should tell you the difficulty Zoro has faced in tricking him.

But in the end, Zoro finally made him use the crew card, so he could become a member of their crew.

'When Leo explained this trick at that time, he made it sound so easy. However, it is not easy at all, fucking liar,' Zoro thought while cursing him in his mind.

Even though Zoro cursed him for saying that tricking people is easy, he never considered that maybe he is the one who is incompatible with this kind of thing.

Seeing such a tired look on Zoro's face, a burst of laughter escaped from Ace and Dan's mouths.

"Leo wants us to leave this island as quickly as possible. Based on the information I received from him, there are more than two people on this island who could easily defeat us all, and Leo is already holding two of them back." Rindou repeated his message to them, so they could understand this was an emergency situation, not a time they could joke around.

As everyone relaxed, the black pearl began to sail away from the island at a reasonable speed.

A few seconds later, a voice came from the helm as Carina loudly said, "Hey guys, I was just looking for Leo's card signal, but I just found out that there are three card signals on the island. I think you all should take a look at them."

They became confused when they heard her words, but they still looked at the signal from the crew card on the island.

"Holy shit!"

"What the fuck!!!"

"???..."

What they saw made them doubt reality itself.

Not even in their dreams would they have thought that the Marine Hero Garp would become part of their crew.

And that is especially true for Ace as not even in his wildest dreams could he have imagined his grandpa. The person that most of the pirates in the world fear would one day become a pirate himself.

"How the hell did he manage to do this?" Ace muttered under his breath. He was too shocked to be shocked by this revelation, and how could he not have this kind of reaction? His grandpa is now part of his crew.

"And here I thought that making Smoker part of the crew was already a big achievement, but then he had to just go and get their leader," Zoro said in an emotional tone.

He was clearly shaken by this turn of events. He tried so hard to trick Smoker into becoming part of the crew. However, while he was being beaten, Leo was able to trick Garp into being part of the crew.

"Huh!" Sounds escaped from Ace's mouth as he tried to process all that had happened today.

While they all were talking among themselves, five Marine ships, consisting of three typical marine ships and two battleships, started to follow them.

One could see that the two battleships consisted primarily of ventured soldiers.

"We are being pursued by five Marine ships. Increase the speed." Rindou was the first one to notice with his Observation Haki that these five ships were following them.

After hearing her words, Ace and Zoro also looked in the direction of Loguetown. They saw five Marine ships chasing after them.

"We should just defeat them," Ace said while cracking his knuckles in the hope of punching something.

But they both could see that he just wanted to distract himself from his grandpa's situation, and beating those Marines would be the most appropriate distraction.

"No, we should just sink them with cannons. They are powerful enough to destroy these ships in two or three shots," Zoro stated, pointing toward the cannons on the deck.

Rindou, who had been listening to their suggestions about how to attack those Marine ships, finally had enough.

"No, we will not fight them. Let's just escape, and we'll do it with Black Pearl speed. They will never be able to capture us," Rindou said with a serious look that clearly said they were not fighting them.

"It's not worth the risk. There might be a strong person on board with them. Leo clearly said they have three persons on that island that could easily defeat us, and he is only blocking two of them, so there might still be one on board."

"Magi magi karp," Levi said while jumping in front of her, but his actions only confused her, and she could not understand what Levi was saying.

Seeing Rindou in a dilemma, she could not understand him. Zoro decided to help her by translating what Levi said: "He is asking us to let him deal with them. He thinks he could take care of them all."

Levi nodded after hearing Zoro's translation, as it was exactly what you wanted to say.

"No, I have already decided that we will just escape from them," Rindou said while shaking her head in denial.

"Magi karp karp magi..." Levi replied with a slightly aggressive tone.

He clearly doesn't like her bossing him around and letting him fight.

After hearing his words, a strange expression appeared on Zoro's face. "Rindou, I think we should let Levi try. Even if he cannot defeat them, he can easily escape them. We are in the ocean, after all."

Rindou fell into deep thoughts after hearing Zoro's explanation as she contemplated if she should let Levi try fighting them.

After all, even if they are in the sea, Levi has a colossal advantage in the sea because he is a water-type Pokemon. They cannot underestimate their opponents.

But before she could say anything, Levi jumped into the sea without any warning. He started to swim fast toward the incoming Marine ships.

"That bastard fish, he left without even listening to my answer," Rindou said with a flabbergasted expression on her face.

"Nami, slow down the ship."

.

As the distance between the ships and Levi became smaller and smaller, Levi let out a thunderous roar as a humongous whirlpool started forming between the unprepared Marine vessels.

"Karppp!"
