Chereads / OP: Injustice (Side Story) / Chapter 40 - A Real Man!

Chapter 40 - A Real Man!

Galan got another call from the Elders and they asked if he left yet, he told them he did. They asked if he had seen Nico Robin and he told them he didn't because he left early in the morning after talking to Iceberg, but if they wanted, he could turn back and go check.

They told him it wasn't necessary before asking about the Buster Call. Galan exploded, making an angry face as he slandered the pirates, saying that he heard they asked for a ransom! He couldn't believe his ears! So he had no choice but to blow up the entire thing! It's a tragedy, but one for Justice!

The Elders were very satisfied and Galan went on saying that Spandam cost him 5 warships and he was very unhappy about it, adding that his men were told by Spandam to aim at their own ships because the Straw Hats were on it, but it was revealed that the Straw Hats weren't on them at all!

His actions helped them escape so Galan felt that maybe Spandam cut a deal with the pirates and betrayed them… There was no other logical solution! He helped them escape! He added that he lost many good men on those warships…

The Elders didn't care about the people! They were angry that Spandam did such a thing and allowed them to escape! But they told him that they would investigate this and that he didn't lose those good soldiers in vain!

Galan shed tears, saying that he gave everything to justice, he couldn't understand how someone could collude with Evil! Before thanking them tearfully, sobbing on the line. The Elders consoled him before hanging up.

As soon as the phone hung up, Galan's face was expressionless again.

Olvia clapped and said that he was amazing. She really thought he was sad, so she told him that she would hug him just in case.

[Sanji: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!]

[Jiraiya: WHY]

[Tony Stark: CAN'T]

[Spike Spiegel: IT]

[David Lieberman: BE]

[Barry Allen: MEEEEEEE!]

[Countless others: +1 +1 +1 +1 +1…]

The screen continued regardless!

Olvia got serious with a word from Galan before they talked about it. Galan told her that the 5 Elders weren't actually smart, it was the person behind them that was the real master behind the scenes.

One word and all his effort was nearly wiped away!

Olvia relaxed and said that it didn't matter anymore then. Since even if Galan followed their orders to the letter, they would still be suspicious. She added that there was no difference between this and a giant baby. If they don't get what they want, they'll throw a tantrum. And even if they do get what they want, they'll throw a tantrum anyway.

So she figured, why even listen anymore. One day, who knows how you'll get taken care of. Nothing mattered anymore. It was like going to play chess but the other person plays for you and loses to himself then flips the chessboard, she said 'A complete and utter loser'

[IM: Woman! Watch your damn whore mouth!]

[Nico Olvia: Am I wrong? Ah! Wait! Oh no!]

[IM: Realized it, have you?]

[Nico Olvia: Who are you again?!]

[IM: AHHH! I'll kill you!]

[Nico Olvia: hahah… No but seriously, are you important or something?]

[IM: WOMAN!]

The screen continued

Galan told her that that was the exact reason that they had to follow orders. It gave them more time. Olvia retorted that they were walking on a tightrope, what should they even do, this was so unreasonable.

Galan told her simply that they learn to balance on it.

She looked at him happily and said that she loved him to which he replied that it was still unfortunate.

The scene changed to a day later at Water 7

The crew was talking about being attacked when Garp showed up and beat Luffy to a pulp but the rest stood up, thinking it was Galan again. However Luffy revealed it was his grandpa Garp, not Galan.

Garp basically explained that he was supposed to capture them but he said nah because Luffy was his grandson. Then he went on and talked about how big and bad Galan was, saying that Galan was so strong that he could beat him to a pulp in a second.

Luffy's eyes popped out of their sockets in shock and Garp went on to exaggerate the power of the Marines, telling them that he was the weakest Vice Admiral, all the Admirals were stronger than him and the Fleet Admiral was much stronger than the Admirals.

Actually, this wasn't true, if Garp went all out, it was unknown if he could compete with Galan or not, but it might be a tough fight.

[Monkey D. Garp: Ah! I was exposed! Bwahahahahah!]

[Izuku: Are you stronger than Galan, Garp-san?]

[Monkey D. Luffy: Yeah, Gramps! Are you stronger than him!?]

[Monkey D. Garp: Hmmm! Everything I've seen on the video… I can do too! Bwahaha! But! I'm sure this is nothing compared to what he would put in if it was a deathmatch… That guy is a real monster. I'd say we fight for 10 hours and take a rice cracker break before I go to sleep and the fight's over.]

[Izuku: …?]

[Sengoku: GARP! DAMNIT!]

[Garp: Bwahahaha! Okay! Seriously… I don't know. I've never seen him go all out and he hasn't seen me go all out either. Now I'm interested, maybe it'll show Galan going all out? I'm excited.]

[Nico Olvia: I'm not…]

[Garp: Bah! Don't you know fighting is a Man's Romance?!]

[Franky: It's true! A real man's romance!]

[Eijiro: A Real Man's Romance! Fist to Fist!]

[Senor Pink: Flesh to Flesh. As Hardboiled as can be.]

[Chad (Bleach): Abuelo once told me that my fists are thrown to protect what's behind me.]

[Franky: A real man!]

[Eijiro: A real man!]

[Senor Pink: A real man!]

[Naruto: A real man!]

The scene continued

Garp asked for a book from Robin and recognized it as Galan's book! He asked her why she had it and she hugged it tightly saying that it calmed her down, whoever wrote this story knew what it was like to live a life like hers, she said that it was inspirational and she didn't remember who gave it to her or how she got it, but she knew the person who wrote it was a kind person.

[Nico Robin: …]

She covered her face in shame, is this a social death scene?
