Bellemere, is it a special holiday today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nojiko's eyes widened, sparkling like little stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a lavish meal was something they could only have on holidays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the weather today was too good, leading to a bumper crop of fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fruit was hard to sell and couldn't be preserved, so they earned very little money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I made some money today. A gentleman bought a lot of oranges.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bellemere, who was busy, turned around, her face full of smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami walked over to Bellemere's side in amazement, watching her fry two fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on, put this on the table. We have a guest at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bellemere said with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Genzo arrived, carrying some common gifts and food, of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them had a very happy meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the happiest part was after the meal, when Bellemere took the initiative to ask Genzo to stay the night, and Genzo fled in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bellemere and the two girls stood in a row, hands on their hips, laughing heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the nearby sea, Cyrus lay on his small boat with the sail down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Observation Haki enveloped the entire Cocoyasi Village, \"seeing\" everything that happened at Nami's house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Atonement?\" Cyrus said softly, finally closing his eyes and letting the boat drift with the waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the 16th Branch, a huge dog-headed warship was docked at the pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The base commander, Captain Nezumi, was already waiting with all the marine soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw Garp disembarking from the ship while picking his nose, everyone snapped to attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vice Admiral Garp!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lined-up soldiers shouted in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahahaha, sorry to trouble you all. I'm here on some business this time.\" Garp said with a hearty laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Vice Admiral Garp! This way, please!\" Captain Nezumi said very respectfully. Perhaps Captain Nezumi, who had not yet begun his massive extortion schemes, was still somewhat clear of conscience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bogart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garp turned his head and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Vice Admiral Garp!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bogart stood at attention on the warship and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garp nodded and then walked towards the branch base's garrison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was curious why Bogart and the Marines on the warship didn't disembark, Nezumi didn't dare to ask and could only follow obediently behind Garp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, in the base's reception room, Garp sat on the sofa, looking at Nezumi who stood not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nezumi grew nervous under Garp's scrutiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That person isn't here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Vice Admiral Garp. But he didn't leave long ago, and he was in a small boat, so he shouldn't be too far. He might be back soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nezumi naturally knew Garp was asking about Cyrus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already sent people to investigate thoroughly and now answered immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then do you know where he went and what he's doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garp asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, Vice Admiral Garp!\" Captain Nezumi's tone was a little uncertain. \"He has always called himself a Pirate Hunter. He came here this time after capturing two pirates. Perhaps he went out this time to find more pirates to capture for their bounties.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've invited him before, but he... he said...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nezumi trailed off, not daring to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It has to do with the Celestial Dragons right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garp's expression remained unchanged; he had already guessed what Nezumi was too afraid to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-yes, Vice Admiral Garp!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nezumi nodded, inwardly shocked at how Garp knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'As I thought!' Garp sighed with a look of helplessness on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't optimistic about achieving his goal this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, an invitation like this inevitably felt coercive and would only make the other party dislike the Marines even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, it might just backfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vice Admiral Garp, should I send men out to sea to search for him?\" Captain Nezumi asked hesitantly, observing Garp's expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. The sea is vast, how could we find him? And even if we did, we couldn't force him to come back. Since he's a Pirate Hunter, he'll surely come to collect his bounty after catching a pirate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garp stood up as he finished speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll wait in the East Blue for a while. The warship will remain here. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. If he returns to collect a bounty, notify me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Garp left, leaving a bewildered Captain Nezumi behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vice Admiral Garp doesn't seem to be as concerned about this matter as I thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, this Vice Admiral doesn't seem to care about the Celestial Dragons' attitude either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, Captain Nezumi didn't dare to overthink it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Garp was a Vice Admiral from Headquarters, the Hero of the Marines, the man who had personally captured the Pirate King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps a man like that had his own profound reasons for acting this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no profound reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon returning to the warship, Garp immediately launched a small boat and left with a Marine sailor at the helm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for where he was going?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, he was returning to Foosha Village to visit his well-behaved grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, said grandson might not be so well-behaved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus knew nothing of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he could guess that his case might be reported further up the chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't pay it much mind, continuing to do his own thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at a Bounty Poster in his hand, then looked up at the Pirate ship charging toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distorted Jolly Roger on its flag was identical to the one on the Bounty Poster he held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vicious Dog Torf, bounty of 2,200,000.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sighing, Cyrus raised his sword in one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slash cut through the sea's surface and struck the approaching Pirate ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flying Slash split half of the Pirate ship open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vessel took on water, became unstable, and then broke apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirates on board fell into the water one by one, flailing desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish, swish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With another dozen or so slashes, the Pirate ship was sliced to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected, I'm still a far cry from Hawkeye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus sighed as he sheathed his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he had only just become a Master swordsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This slash was only possible due to his immense physical strength and Haki enhancement; he was still a long way from Hawkeye's ability to cleave the sea with a casual swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a few more slashes, the small wooden boat couldn't withstand his attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the pirates in the water were struggling, some were clinging to fragments of the ship, and some were swimming toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them was their captain, Vicious Dog Torf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirate who loved to bite people and carry out massacres.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the pirate swim toward him, Cyrus's mind drifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the weaker the pirate, the more vicious they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stronger ones, on the other hand, might be indifferent, but they wouldn't stoop to such cheap acts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vicious Dog Torf was indeed the strongest of these pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the first to swim over, and after pulling himself onto Cyrus's boat with one hand, he took the large saw from his back and glared viciously at Cyrus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This guy, did he not see me chop his ship to bits?'
