When the weather cleared again, Golden Hind was back on their way; this time Vermillion and his party headed for Loguetown.
Everyone had decided not to live in East Blue any longer, so they headed to Loguetown to stock up on supplies and then continued on to the Grand Line.
"One regular Zoan-type Devil Fruit cannot be used to summon a new Servant."
"Do any of you want to use it?" Vermillion asked his Servants.
"I heard that the Devil Fruit makes the user unable to swim, is that true?" Drake asked while shaking her head. "If that's really the case, then I don't want it."
"Besides, being an Octopus? Ugh, so disgusting." Musashi also refused.
"Although I don't plan to eat it, I highly recommend you to use it, Master." Tsunade hugged her Master with a smile.
"This Devil Fruit can give you the ability to produce a large number of tentacles. With this ability, you can do many things with it!"
"Hehe, even though I don't like tentacles, but if Master does it... then I won't mind." Tsunade blushed.
"Hmm, interesting..." Vermillion stroked his chin. With this ability, he can indeed do many pervert things.
"So does Master want to eat it?" Tsunade looked at Vermillion with a teasing smile.
"No, forget it. I don't want to be a tentacle monster."
"Besides, not being able to swim for the sake of this ability? Sorry, maybe next time." Vermillion shook his head.
"That's really unfortunate..." Tsunade sighed.
"Do you really want to be abused by the tentacles?" Vermillion was somewhat surprised by Tsunade's openness.
"Other people's tentacles? No, but Master's tentacles are different, hehe." Tsunade hugged her Master tighter while chuckling.
"So does nobody want it?" Vermillion turned to his male crew members.
Emiya and the others immediately refused, clearly not interested in the fruit's abilities.
"Well, then save it for now and use it after we get another regular Devil Fruit."
"Drake, save it for me."
"Aye, Masters!" Drake caught the Zoan-type Devil Fruit with a smile.
***
While Golden Hind headed for Loguetown, Garp, the Naval Hero, rushed to Loguetown with his entire crew.
After Garp took Onigumo to a nearby hospital, he wanted to catch up with the Drake pirate as soon as possible.
According to his guess, Drake pirates must have wanted to go to the Grand Line; therefore, their destination must be Loguetown.
These few days, his warships had been running at full speed to catch up with that criminal.
"Report, Vice Admiral Garp! The Drake Pirates can be seen not far ahead!" Garp, who was dozing, soon woke up.
Heading to the ship's deck, Garp looked at the Golden Hind in the distance.
"Hehe, I finally found it." Garp squeezed his fist.
"Soldiers, steer the warship over there. Prepare your guns and my cannons!"
Hearing Vice Admiral Garp's order, the soldiers immediately followed the order.
The soldiers hurriedly brought two boxes filled with cannonballs and placed them near Garp.
On the other hand, Drake and Vermillion knew that a warship approaching them from long ago; they didn't run and waited for them.
Seeing Garp's strong figure standing on the ship's deck, Vermillion was taken aback. He didn't expect that he would meet Garp before entering the Grand Line! A world's top player!
However, Vermillion wasn't afraid in the slightest, feeling excited instead. This was his first time against the world's top players!
"Garp the Fist... let's see, whether the martial art I got can match up with the world's top players or not." Looking at Garp in the distance, Vermillion was eager to try his hand at it.
Seeing the approaching Golden Hind, Garp smiled broadly. Picking up the cannonball, Garp immediately threw it with his bare hands!
"Meteorite Fist-Bone!"
"Launching a cannon barehanded? First time I've seen that." Drake looked at the cannonballs with a grin.
"But, compared to my Golden Hind's firepower, then you are no match!"
"Golden Hind! Prepare the cannon and... fire!"
Following Drake's orders, Golden Hind took aim at the cannon and then shot it with a laser.
Even after destroying Garp's cannon, the laser still shot toward Garp.
"Oh?!"
Seeing the laser, Garp was surprised. Picking up another cannonball, he threw it again at the laser.
*Boom!*
An explosive sound was heard; this time, the laser disappeared along with Garp's cannon.
