Chapter 379: Unexpected Visitors.

Luffy and the Whitebeard Pirates returned with a full load. Like triumphant heroes, they happily walked towards Shaqi's tavern, carrying large amounts of food and drinks.

The sun shone on them, outlining a layer of golden outlines for their figures. Luffy walked in front with high spirits, his iconic straw hat fluttering gently in the breeze, like a flag symbolizing freedom and courage.

He was carrying a large bag of food, which seemed heavy, but Luffy didn't feel tired at all. There was an excited smile on his face, like a child who got his favorite toy.

"Haha, this party will definitely be awesome!" Luffy said loudly, his voice full of energy and joy, echoing in the air.

He walked forward briskly, as if there was wind under his feet. His eyes sparkled with anticipation for the upcoming banquet. He imagined everyone sitting together and enjoying the food, and his heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Everyone followed Luffy, their faces also filled with smiles.

The Whitebeard Pirates carried boxes of wine and beverages, their steps were steady and powerful. Marco smiled and said, "This banquet will definitely be unforgettable."

Bista nodded and said, "Yes, everyone will have a great time." They talked about the party as they walked, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Finally, everyone arrived at Shaqi's tavern. The door of the tavern was half-open, and a ray of warm light shone through. Luffy couldn't wait to push the door open and walked in.

However, when they looked around, they found that Kaido and Ace had not returned yet. Luffy put down the bag in his hand with a dull sound. He scratched his head, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Why haven't Ace and the others come back yet?" Luffy asked in confusion. His voice was full of worry and expectation. He imagined the various situations that Ace and the others might encounter, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

He walked around the tavern, constantly looking at the door, hoping to see Ace and the others.

Nami came over with a notebook in her hand, recording the purchased items.

Seeing Luffy's anxious look, she smiled and said, "Maybe they were delayed by something." Nami's voice was clear and gentle, with a hint of comforting tone.

It turns out that because of the special relationship between Ace and Yamato, Ace decided to go with the Beasts Pirates to purchase the items needed for the banquet.

Ace wore his iconic outfit, his eyes revealing determination and expectation. He knew that this banquet was of great significance to everyone, and this procurement mission of him and the Beasts Pirates would add more excitement to the banquet.

The Beasts Pirates were all in high spirits, and they were full of enthusiasm for this purchase. They walked side by side with Ace, as if they were a united team, working hard for a common goal.

Their figures formed a unique landscape on the streets of the Chabaoti Archipelago, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

Not only that, Sabo also went out with Ace and the others. Sabo has always cared about Ace very much, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity to act with Ace.

Sabo was wearing a handsome cape, with wisdom in his eyes. He discussed the purchase plan with Ace and Yamato, and carefully selected the best items.

Everyone is looking forward to their return and imagining what surprises they will bring.

Luffy paced in the tavern, his heart filled with anxiety and anticipation.

After a while, a noise finally came from afar. The sound came closer and closer, as if it was the prelude to an upcoming feast.

Everyone pricked up their ears and looked in the direction of the sound, their eyes full of anticipation and excitement, as if they were waiting for a grand performance.

Ace and the others are finally back.

Each of them carried large and small bags of items, with bright smiles on their faces. Ace carried a huge bag on his shoulders, which seemed to be filled with all kinds of delicious food.

His face was filled with a satisfied smile, as if he was proud of himself for successfully completing the purchase task. Yamato was holding several exquisite boxes in both hands, and the patterns on the boxes showed that they might contain precious gifts.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she was looking forward to showing these items to everyone. Sabo was no exception, he was carrying a bulging backpack, which might contain some special surprises.

The members of the Beasts Pirates were also carrying various items. Some carried wine barrels, and some carried baskets full of fruits. They talked and laughed as they walked, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

However, when Ace and his companions returned, they brought back an unexpected person, the Navy hero Garp.

When Garp's tall and majestic figure appeared before everyone, everyone was shocked. They stared with eyes wide open, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

They opened their mouths wide enough to fit an egg in, as if they had seen something incredible.

The moment everyone saw Garp, the air seemed to freeze. Time seemed to stop flowing at this moment, and everyone was stunned by Garp's sudden appearance.

The sunlight shines through the window into the pub, but it cannot dispel the sudden tense atmosphere. Everyone has different expressions, some are surprised, some are vigilant, and some are worried, like a still painting.

Zoro clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes as sharp as a sword, looking at Garp vigilantly. His fingers turned slightly white, showing his inner tension.

"Why is this guy here? Is he here to arrest us?" Zoro whispered, his voice low and full of vigilance. His body leaned forward slightly, as if ready to fight at any time.

His heart was full of doubts and vigilance. As a naval hero, Garp's appearance forced Zoro to be on high alert.

Nami nervously hid behind everyone, her body trembling slightly, her eyes full of worry. Her hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, as if this could give her some sense of security.

"What should we do? Garp is a hero of the navy." Nami whispered, her voice full of fear. She knew Garp's strength and status, and his appearance might bring great trouble to everyone.

Her heart was filled with anxiety and she didn't know how to deal with this sudden situation.

The others also showed varying degrees of surprise and nervousness. Luffy stared at Garp with wide eyes, full of doubts.
