Chapter 48: What Embezzlement and Bribery? (Fourth Update, Begging for Flowers)

"Embezzlement and bribery? What embezzlement and bribery money?"

"You can eat recklessly, but you cannot speak recklessly!"

Li Xiao glanced at Garp and said with righteous indignation:

"This is clearly the money that Colonel Rats, before his death, finally recognized his mistakes, sincerely repented, turned over a new leaf, and generously sponsored to me!"

"This is an award given to me in the name of the Marines, under his identity as a Marine Colonel, to commend my active anti-corruption and anti-graft actions!"

"May I ask, is there any problem with this?"

Facing Li Xiao's words,

Garp always felt something was wrong,

but after holding back for a long time,

he suddenly didn't know how to refute it!

"But..."

"No 'buts'! Colonel Rats said it to me himself. If you don't believe it, go ask him yourself!"

"..."

Looking at Colonel Rats,

whose head and body were already separated and further torn into pieces beyond recognition by the aftershocks of the battle just now,

Garp finally gave up!

Let it be!

After all, this Qian Cai had nothing to do with him!

He was too lazy to bother!

Better leave it for Tsuru to have a headache over!

Afterwards,

Garp patted Li Xiao's shoulder

and asked with a slightly serious tone:

"Kid, are you interested in joining the Marines?"

Hearing this,

Li Xiao waved his hand without hesitation and said:

"Not interested. I've already said it: I am just an ordinary cultivator. I have absolutely no interest in Marines or pirates. Cultivating for immortality is my true Dao!"

Although he couldn't quite understand the meaning of Li Xiao's latter half of the sentence,

nor could he comprehend the so-called cultivator,

Li Xiao's firm refusal was something

Garp could still feel.

Therefore, he didn't continue saying anything,

but instead asked about Li Xiao's next plans.

"After dealing with things here, I need to return to Cocoyasi Village first."

"Oh, right!"

Speaking of which,

Li Xiao suddenly remembered something

and asked Garp:

"By the way, if you hand over the Arlong Pirates to the Marines for imprisonment, can you find me two Marine soldiers who can sail? I don't know how to sail, and I can't get back alone!"

Speaking of which,

Garp also suddenly remembered something

and hurriedly asked:
