One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 178 Half a month later, Kaido launched an attack.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment on Ghost Island, there was a tall and burly man with long black hair, a pair of horns, a long beard like a dragon's whiskers, and a dragon scale tattoo on his left arm.

He was holding a gourd with the character "天" (heaven) printed on it.

His face was already darker, but as he kept pouring wine into his mouth from the gourd, his face appeared both dark and reddish, with veins bulging on his forehead, clearly indicating that he was very angry.

With a heavy thud, the wine gourd crashed to the ground.

"Damn it, has that idiot Jack been missing for over half a month yet?"

Just then, a henchman ran over tremblingly, "Boss Kaido, we're still looking, but Captain Jack seems to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace whatsoever."

Kaido suddenly stood up, and the earth seemed to tremble. "You bunch of trash, if you can't find Jack, you don't need to come back."

The henchmen collapsed to the ground in terror. "Lord Kaido... we suspect that Boss Jack may have been ambushed by the Navy or another pirate crew."

"After all, he said he was going to attack the Mink Tribe's territory, so there might be a trap waiting for him there."

Kaido snorted, "Jack may be reckless, but he shouldn't be so easily defeated."

"However, if anyone dares to touch my people, no matter who they are, I will tear them to pieces."

"Pass down the order: expand the search area, and if necessary, instigate some wars to draw out the forces behind it."

"Yes, Boss Kaido!" The henchman scrambled off to relay the order.

Kaido gazed into the distance, clenching his fists, thinking to himself, "Jack, I hope you're not really dead, otherwise I won't let you get away with disgracing me."

As Kaido was deep in thought, King the Wildfire and Queen the Plague walked in, their expressions heavy, as if something had happened.

The two men knelt before Kaido, their faces grave, and said, “Boss Kaido, after extensive investigation, we discovered that half a month ago, Jack and his men took advantage of the absence of the G5 branch’s supreme commander and attempted to take down the G5 branch.”

"But the result was that the highest commander of the G5 branch returned ahead of schedule, and in the end... in the end..."

"What happened in the end? Tell me now!" Kaido roared, his eyes wide.

"In the end, Jack and his team were defeated. Jack was imprisoned in the G5 base, and every day we can hear Jack's screams." Jhin, the Wildfire, gritted his teeth as he recounted this humiliating news.

"What? They've been captured?" Kaido's face grew even more grim.

Quinn added, “That’s right. On the entire G5 base, not only is there the Supreme Commander, Lieutenant General Qinglong, but also Garp.”

“A year ago, Jack was passing through there when everything except his ship was looted. That naval base in that area was also known as Bandit Island.”

Kaido unleashed a powerful aura, "Do you think I, one of the Four Emperors, am afraid of the Navy?"

King the Wildfire quickly advised, "Boss, don't be impulsive. The Navy has definitely set up many traps, and besides, the Navy hero Garp is there to oversee things."

Kaido calmed down a bit, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "Hmph, that old bastard Garp should have died long ago. Now he's even kidnapped my crew. Bastard."

"I refuse to believe we can't rescue that kid Jack. If he dies on some tiny island, my reputation as Kaido will be completely ruined."

Jhin the Wildfire and Quinn the Plague exchanged a glance and replied in unison, "Yes, boss."

Kaido paced back and forth in the main hall, pondering a rescue plan. After a moment, he stopped, his eyes filled with determination. "King, Queen, you two take half the forces and launch a feint attack on the front of G5 base to draw their attention."

"Boss, what about you?" Jin asked worriedly.

Kaido sneered: "Of course I'm going to deal with that Garp."

Garp is old now, and although his strength hasn't declined much, I, Kaido, am not to be trifled with.

Quinn and Jhin nodded and then each led half of their forces toward the G5 naval base.

Kaido pondered for a long time on Onigashima, then transformed into a giant dragon and flew toward King's ship.

He stood there thinking for a long time before he came up with this idea.

If I went ahead of time, given Garp's personality, he would have come right up to me and started fighting.

Since we're going to fight anyway, we might as well go with Jhin and the others.

at the same time.

On G5 branch island, Rorschach was sitting on a deckchair with Garp beside him. Each of them held a whip, and a marine was tied up on one side.

"Vice Admiral Garp, is it really okay for us to torture the Beasts Pirates like this?" Rorschach joked with a smile.

Garp took a bite of his senbei and said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with that? These pirates have done a lot of evil."

"However, Kaido will definitely not let this go, and he will probably come to kill us soon."

"Besides, it's been half a month. Even an idiot would have noticed the problem by now."

After an unknown amount of time, the lookout shouted, "Report! Enemy ship spotted ahead! The flag on the bow belongs to the Beasts Pirates!"

Garp slowly stood up and stretched his limbs. "You've come at the perfect time. It's been a long time since I've had a proper workout."

Luo Xia gripped the whip tightly. "Then let them taste our power."

Jhin the Wildfire and Quinn the Plague directed the ships to approach the shore while ordering their men to begin the attack.

In an instant, shells flew everywhere, and smoke filled the air. Kaido, hidden in the clouds, waited for his chance to charge at Garp.

As the two sides were locked in fierce combat, Kaido seized the opportunity and pounced on Garp like a black shadow.

Garp had already sensed it, and dodged to the side while simultaneously throwing a punch.

But when Garp and Kaido clashed fists, Kaido's eyes widened in shock.

During the exchange of blows, Garp unconsciously used the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Upon first meeting, Garp was completely defeated by this punch.

What surprised Kaido even more was that Garp looked exactly the same as when he was young.

"This...this."

"You bastard Garp, what happened to you? How did you end up like this?"

"And you actually have that old man Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit?"

gurgle—

Kaido swallowed hard, completely stunned. He was cursing the intelligence department in his mind, including Jack.

"Damn it, they didn't report this information immediately. Do these bastards want to die?" Kaido thought to himself.

At the same time, Kaido's eyes began to dart around. When he saw Jack tied up, Kaido cursed, "Damn Jack, you've been captured by the Marines!"

"If I can't beat that bastard Garp today, you can just fend for yourself!"

Jack was initially grateful to see that Lord Kaido had come to his rescue.

But what did my boss say?

What do you mean by "can't beat Garp"?
