Chapter 47: Just an Ordinary Tavern

"It's you, kid!" Looking at Kuzan who suddenly sat next to him, Garp scratched his head with a distressed look and said, "Why are you here too? Are you here to catch that kid too? Oh no, my secret has been discovered, hasn't it?"

"Ah~, what secret?" Hearing Vice Admiral Garp's words, Kuzan raised his eyebrows, and a curious look appeared on his lazy face, "What secret did Vice Admiral Garp talk about?"

"Ahahaha~, secret? What secret? I withdraw what I said just now!" Seeing Kuzan's curious eyes, Garp laughed directly, pretending to be confused and pinching his nose, with an innocent expression, he said, "I didn't say anything secret at all, did you hear it wrong?"

"..."

Looking at Vice Admiral Garp who was still stubborn, Kuzan shook his head helplessly, and then He returned to his original lazy expression and said, "Because we are passing by the East China Sea, Marshal Sengoku asked me to come here in person to inform you that your vacation is over. Please go back immediately!"

"Ahahaha~, it's over? So soon? How come I didn't know?"

"Marshal Sengoku said that you hung up the phone he called directly, and he has also asked Bogart to bring your exclusive warship and subordinates here." Seeing Vice Admiral Garp still pretending to be confused and holding his nose, Kuzan showed no mercy and directly exposed Garp's disguise, "I have seen Bogart at the dock, and Marshal Sengoku asked you not to hang up the Den Den Mushi he called."

After saying that, he didn't look at Garp anymore. He was just here for routine work. As for whether Vice Admiral Garp would go back, he didn't care. Anyway, he had already notified him.

Turning his head to look at the bar owner in front of him, Makino, he said leisurely, "Miss Makino, long time no see, please have a cold beer!"

"Ahem~"

"Please give Vice Admiral Garp a drink too! By the way, is there anything to eat? I haven't eaten for a whole day~"

Hearing the cough from Vice Admiral Garp, Kuzan didn't understand what he meant, and didn't care. After shrugging his shoulders, he was taking out the money from his pocket.

Suddenly.

"Ahahaha~, thank you so much, Kuzan boy!" Vice Admiral Garp laughed, and his big palm directly slapped Kuzan's shoulder who was taking out the money, and said happily, "You haven't eaten either?"

But.

As Garp's big palm slapped down, Kuzan's shoulder staggered while he was taking out the money.

Then...

"Da~"

It seemed that something accidentally fell from Kuzan's pocket onto the bar.

"What a coincidence, I don't have it either!" Garp, who was patting Kuzan hard, seemed to hear something falling down. As he spoke, he lowered his head happily, "Hey, you seem to have dropped something?"

At this time, he seemed to have seen something, staring blankly at the pink card that fell on the bar, and blinked again.

"This thing...why does it feel a little familiar?"

"Mr. Garp~" Makino looked at Garp helplessly, and admonished him without hesitation, "Please pay attention!"

Then.

When Kuzan raised his eyelids and was about to reach out to pick up the small card,

Makino quickly reached out her hand again, picked up the card herself, and handed it to Kuzan who was holding out his hand, "Sorry, Mr. Kuzan! This is your thing, the VIP card of the Red Romance Private Club? Please keep it."

"..."

Actually, you don't have to say it.

Kuzan's mouth twitched, but he still quickly reached out his hand, took the card directly at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and quickly stuffed it back, "Ah, thank you so much, Miss Makino!"

And Karp, who was thinking on the side, seemed to react at this time, and said with a look of realization, "Red Romance Private Club? That's right, isn't this the Red Romance Private Club? Kuzan boy, how come you have one too?"

"..."

Can you not be so loud?

Before Kuzan, who was frowning, could say anything.

Makino, who had already taken out two glasses of ice beer across the bar, also asked curiously, "Red Romance Private Club? Mr. Garp, have you been there too? Where is that place from?"

"Ahahaha, of course I've been there too." Garp happily picked up the ice beer, drank it in another gulp, and said, "That's a good..."

However.

The words haven't been finished yet.

"Tavern~" Kuzan on the side interrupted Garp directly, with a smile on his lazy face, looking at Garp, "Mr. Garp, that's a tavern, isn't it?"

"Tavern?" Garp, who had already finished a big gulp, also reacted. After blinking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and looked at Kuzan meaningfully, "Yes, Kuzan is right, it's a tavern!"

"Mr. Garp is right, it's a tavern that's nothing special!"

"I just happened to have a drink there when I came back." Garp waved his hand and laughed, "Nothing special!"

"..."

Makino looked at the two strange people in front of him.

A tavern is a tavern~

Why did Mr. Garp and Mr. Kuzan repeat it so many times?

Is the beer there very delicious?

But.

At this moment, Garp and Kuzan did not see the helpless and curious expression on Makino's face at all, and they both looked at each other.

One had a cheerful smile, and the other drank beer lazily.

There was a meaningful look in their eyes.

It only took a moment.

It took Kuzan a gulp of beer.

"You've seen that guy?" Cap held his nose, broke the silence, and said with a smile, "Where's that guy? Has he been caught by you?"

However.

"I don't know what kid~, Vice Admiral Garp, can you explain it clearly?"

Faced with Vice Admiral Garp's words, Kuzan still had that lazy expression, and directly rejected it, and asked Makino to have another glass, and then said leisurely, "Vice Admiral Garp asked about Colonel Dande Shache? I think that guy is very talented, but he was buried in the East China Sea, so I have asked him to go to the Grand Line to perform a secret mission, and I am going to recommend him to the higher-ups. By the way, why did Vice Admiral Garp ask about him? Is Vice Admiral Garp very familiar with him?"

"Ahahaha, not very familiar~" Seeing Kuzan pretending to be confused, Garp also pretended to be confused, looking up, still holding his nose and said, "Not familiar, not familiar, I don't know any Shache kid at all!"

"..."

Vice Admiral Garp is still the same!

But Kuzan didn't say much about Vice Admiral Garp's pretending to be confused, and smiled and thanked Makino again, and took the beer.

But this time he drank slowly.

But.

After taking a sip and putting down the wine, his eyes flashed slightly.

This time, he was facing the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Would that guy still hide his strength?

Kuzan muttered to himself, "We should be almost at Alabasta!"

As soon as the words fell.

"Pulu Pulu~, Pulu Pulu~"

Just when Kuzan was curious about what the boy would do this time.

The Den Den Mushi rang.

Kuzan picked up the Den Den Mushi skillfully and answered it directly, with a lazy tone, "Hello, what's the matter? If nothing, I'll hang up!"

"Please be serious, Kuzan~"

"Oh, is that Marshal Sengoku?" Hearing the voice of the Den Den Mushi, the lazy expression on Kuzan's face was slightly restrained, and he said with a headache, "Is there another mission?"

"Is it Sengoku?" Garp on the side also came over curiously, and then quickly said with a serious face, "Don't tell Sengoku, I'm here!"

But

Before Kuzan, who had a headache, could say anything.

"I've heard your voice!" Den Den Mushi started to curse, "Garp, you dare to hang up my phone?"

"Ahahaha, have you been discovered?"

"Asshole! Your vacation is over, and I'm not telling you!" Sengoku Den Den Mushi still roared angrily, "Your snacks are all gone! Don't even think about me replenishing them!"

"It's okay, I'll just eat yours!"

"..."

This bastard.

"Marshal Sengoku~" Looking at the Sengoku Den Den Mushi who was about to explode with anger, Kuzan ignored Garp who was holding his nose and looked indifferent, and was worried that the two would continue to quarrel like this, so he quickly interrupted and said, "What is the mission for calling this time?"

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, it's all because of that bastard Garp!" Hearing Kuzan's words, Sengoku Den Den Mushi also came back to his senses, took a deep breath, ignored Garp, and put on a serious expression.

At this moment.

The whole Den Den Mushi seemed to exude the momentum of the Navy Marshal.

"I am now issuing a mission to the Navy Headquarters, Admiral Aokiji and Vice Admiral Garp." The eyes of the Sengoku Den Den Mushi condensed, and he said in a steady tone, "The conspiracy of the Seven Warlords of the Sea - Crocodile to plot against the Kingdom of Alabasta has been exposed, and was defeated by the passing Mok Pirates. Please go to the Kingdom of Alabasta immediately and bring Crocodile back to the Navy Headquarters, and arrest the overlord of the East China Sea - the Mok Pirates!"

After issuing the mission, a trace of emotion appeared on his face again, and he said with melancholy.

"I didn't expect that the Mok Pirates have entered the Grand Line. It seems that Garp and I have underestimated this guy's strength. He defeated Crocodile as soon as he entered the Grand Line. This guy... is quite dangerous, far more dangerous than the supernova Portgas D. Ace."

With a serious tone, "You two must catch him this time, and never let him go."

"..."

"What's wrong with you?" There was no response, and it seemed that the other party was a little strange. Sengoku Den Den Mushi frowned again, with a dissatisfied tone, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

"...Ahahaha~"

"...Hahaha~"

The two of them laughed quickly, and then quickly said seriously, "I heard it~, I heard it~"

"It's really a headache. I actually made such a thing." Although the response of the two people on the other side seemed a little strange, Sengoku Den Den Mushi didn't delve into it.

Anyway, as long as they complete the task, it's fine.

"I'll be busy again!" Sengoku Den Den Mushi sighed, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the two people in front of him, "Now you two, hurry up and leave! Especially you, Garp, get back here!"

"Yes!"

"Got it, got it~"

"Beep~"

As the Den Den Mushi was hung up, Kuzan and Garp looked at each other again.

Then...

"Kuzan, I'll leave it to you next!"

"..."

Kuzan looked at Garp speechlessly, who was still holding his nose and drinking beer with indifference.

He knew that this old guy was going to give up again.

But he didn't say much. He lowered his head, looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, sighed, and muttered to himself, "Dander Shache."

I didn't expect it to be solved so quickly?

It's just...didn't he do anything?
