Chapter 87 Garp

In the tea room.

Just as Lex stood up to say goodbye.

On a whim, a strong man is approaching!

In an instant, the ability to see and hear was released.

I caught an exceptionally strong aura, walking towards Crane's courtyard in a carefree manner.

At the same time, a strong and powerful voice of a middle-aged man was heard outside the door.

“Xiaohe, it’s me. I’m coming in! —Ahahahaha!~”

He frowned, and sure enough, a middle-aged man in a suit and wearing a dog-head hat strode into the living room. Then his observation Haki was released, and he found He in the tea room.

But then I detected another scent, eh, it seemed to be Xiaohe's sister, Gion.

So, the man named Monkey D. Garp strode into the tea room and shouted.

"Hey, Gion-chan, hello—huh?!!! Why is there a man here? Who are you?!"

Garp's eyes widened, almost popping out. Compared to Crane's calmness, Garp's personality was obviously much more carefree.

"Hey, Cap, you should know who he is."

He on the side also felt that Garp was a little embarrassed in front of Lex, so he couldn't help but remind him.

“Eh? Let me think about it….hmm~hmm~hmm~hmm——!!”

Karp's eyes suddenly lit up and he blurted out.

“I can’t remember! Ahahahaha~!!”

Vice Admiral He: “…”

Gion: "..."

Lex: "Yeah, hahaha, Uncle Garp, we met once after the Valley of the Gods. In 1487, I met you when I was a guest on Roger's ship. In 1488, when you led the warship deep into the New World, we also met in the Sky Sea. I remember we had a brief exchange. As for the others, I think there should be a general introduction of me in the newspapers, and there should also be a detailed introduction of me within the navy."

Karp covered his head and smiled innocently.

“Ahahahaha!~ I remember now! Laken, is that you?”

"............It's Lex."

"Ahahahaha - it's all the same. Why did I think of Xiaohe here?"

"I took Gion back to the West Sea and paid a visit to Vice Admiral Ichiban Tsuru. I didn't expect Vice Admiral Garp to be here as well."

Lex did not call Crane "Sister Crane" or Garp "Uncle Garp".

Just called them by their job titles.

"So, Lex, what is your relationship with Gion-chan?"

Garp sat down and took out a large bag of senbei from the drawer in Tsuru's tea room. He then poured himself a cup of hot tea, tore open the senbei, and started eating them with a "crunch crunch" sound.

This made He give Garp a helpless look, but Garp still didn't take it seriously.

The Navy’s best tough guy is indeed worthy of his reputation.

"Gion is my wife."

"Eh?! That's a good relationship, not bad."

Garp widened his eyes again, then retracted them.

"By the way, Laken, do you want to join the navy? I think you have good talent and will definitely be a strong marine. Look, Gion has already joined the navy--"

Before Garp could finish his words, Crane beside him covered his brows with his hands. Garp had lost all the navy members.

Crane began to explain.

"He is the king of the New World, the man who drove our navy out of the New World."

Garp: "......Ah?!!! - Aren't you Laken, the cowherd kid from the Mithran Islands? Isn't the King of the New World that bastard Shiki's nephew Lex?!"

Cap looked shocked.

Lex chuckled: "I just said it, I am Lex, Leon Lex."

Karp's expression darkened instantly.

It seems that Garp really didn't recognize Lex just now. Of course, the last time Lex appeared on the battlefield of Marinford, Garp was in a love-hate relationship with Roger.

Then, Karp said in a deep voice.

"Why are you here? This is not a place for criminals like you to appear! This is Marinford!"

Garp said with a righteous look on his face, and just when he thought Xiaohe would praise him, he suddenly found that the tea room was silent.

The other three people: “….”

Garp's expression suddenly became awkward again. Since entering the room, Garp's expression had changed several times.

"During the last meeting, Brother Kong talked about the government's attitude towards Lex. Weren't you listening?"

Hearing Crane's slightly interrogative tone, Garp's expression softened instantly and he smiled sheepishly.

"Well, I fell asleep, and I thought that guy Zhan Guo would tell me, but... "

"What's the result?"

Crane asked calmly. The meeting was highly confidential. Only four people including Garp and Crane participated in it. But Garp, the fool, was still sleeping.

Garp replied hesitantly.

"In the end, I forgot to ask that guy Zhan Guo..."

Crane: "Phew, forget it, just shut up."

Garp thought he would be severely reprimanded by Crane, but in fact he got a great bargain. He was secretly delighted. In fact, he didn't know that Crane had no hope in him.

At the same time, Garp winked at Gion and Lex with a smug look on his face.

[See? Xiao He didn't even want to scold me. What a strength! ]

Lex smiled softly and took the initiative to ask about Garp.

"Does Vice Admiral Garp know the whereabouts of Roger's pirate group? They can't be found in the New World recently."

Upon hearing this, Karp instantly became excited and started talking nonstop.

"Hahaha! You've asked the right person. The last time I chased that guy from the Luo family, we were in a place called Gaya Island in Paradise. They seemed to be looking for something, so we drank a few glasses of wine - bah bah bah, no no, so after we had a big fight, Roger fled again, saying he was going to heaven. That guy always talks stupid nonsense, not as wise as me, hahaha~"

After saying this, Karp did not forget to smile proudly.

He had no idea that he had just accidentally revealed the truth, revealing his relationship with Roger. They were obviously good friends and they even drank a few glasses of wine when they met.

Rex was thinking, "I've been to Sky Island. This is my nth time there. The next time should be in 1496 when I bring Kozuki Oden to the Arpaiado with the historical text..."

But on the surface, Lex smiled politely.

"Thank you for your guidance, Vice Admiral Garp."

This thank you made Garp even more proud. He was a careless person to begin with, and he had forgotten the "crime" of Lex in destroying the Building of Justice, so he just laughed along.

"Ahahaha! It's okay, it's okay. I am such a helpful person, ahaha."

Then Lex stood up.

He pulled Gion up and prepared to say goodbye to Tsuru.

"I won't bother you two any more. I will take Gion back to the West Sea first."

Tsuru also stood up politely, nodded slightly, and said goodbye to Gion.

Garp was still crunching the senbei and hot tea in his hands, but he did not forget to look up and greet Lex.

"Come and visit me again next time when you have time. I will entertain you again."

It seems that Karp has no idea that he is the biggest freeloader here.

-

After a while, Crane escorted Rex and Gion out of the courtyard and back to the tea room.

At this moment, He and Garp were the only two people left in the tea room. He looked helplessly at Garp who continued to eat and drink, but she had no idea what to do. Perhaps, she had long been accustomed to this man's free food and drink.

In other words, if Garp was not sleeping in Marinford, he definitely was eating and drinking at some general's house. Among them, Sengoku suffered the most.

The next moment, He sat down and refilled himself with a cup of hot tea.

He spoke.

"What do you think? Cap."

This is naturally a question of what Cap thinks of Lex.

The two of them had a tacit understanding for many years, so Garp naturally understood what Tsuru was asking. He paused slightly holding the senbei in his hand, then answered.

"Strong, very strong."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Although Garp has a carefree personality, He still has great trust in Garp's strength, so Garp's reference opinion is very important and he will report it to Brother Kong later.

Garp lowered his eyes and continued, "Because I can't sense this person's aura at all. It's like, he's right in front of me, but my observation Haki is completely ineffective..."

After a pause, Karp continued.

"I have only seen this ability in two people, one is Roger, and the other is Fegaland Garin. However, they both used Conqueror's Haki, an ability called Observation and Killing, which focuses more on killing the Observation Haki's ability to predict the future. But if I use my Observation Haki with all my strength, I can still feel their aura."

"But....Leon Lex, I can't sense his breath at all!"

Crane's expression gradually became serious, "It's the ability of the fruit!"

Karp nodded slightly, then shook his head slightly.

"It's the ability of the fruit, but apart from the ability of the fruit, I have never seen anyone who has reached this level of strength at this age, including Rocks when he was young!"

He fixed his eyes, and then said, "Let Mary Geoise deal with this kind of headache. At least, I can feel that there is no 'evil' in him."

As the user of the Wash-Wash Fruit, Vice Admiral Tsuru can naturally easily feel the good and evil in a person, but how could she know that there is no absolute good and evil in this world.
