The Pinnacle of the Navy! Starting from Being Captured by Garp

East Blue, Cocoyasi Village, Coast

The sea breeze swirled with the lingering smell of smoke and char. The sea was not yet calm, and the beach was covered in scorched black spots and the remains of the fallen fish-man pirates. Hachi sat瘫 on the beach, his six arms trembling like they were cramping, his eyes bloodshot, staring in terror at the two boys before him.

"Wh-what have you done?!" his voice was broken, as if his throat had been squeezed. "Do you know what it means that our captain is a Shichibukai?!?"

Kuroobi dragged his broken arm and climbed to his feet, half his face a bloody mess, but he still roared through gritted teeth, "You're finished... Captain Jinbe won't let you go!!!"

"He's a Shichibukai! A great pirate recognized by the World Government!!"

"You... you actually dared to kill Brother Arlong... He will avenge us!!"

"He will kill all of your relatives!!! Do you hear me?!?"

The sea breeze paused, sweeping over the hot sand and the wreckage. Their words were like stones falling into dead water. Ace and Luffy stood quietly, not saying a word, letting the wind blow their clothes, their expressions still blank.

"Kill... our relatives?"

Almost at the same moment, a few scenes flashed through their minds—

Grandpa Garp standing on a mountaintop, shattering a mountain with one punch, laughing heartily. "Pirates and all that, I'll solve it all with one punch!"

Big Brother Roy teleporting and punching, an entire pirate crew instantly annihilated. "Remember, kids. Mercy is for people, not for beasts."

Instructor Zephyr's fists were like cannons, shaking the ground. "You still want to slack off?! Today's training is doubled!"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku slamming his desk, a golden aura flaring as he roared at Garp. "Garp! Was this your doing again?!"

In that moment, what came to their minds was not some "Jinbe" or "Shichibukai," but a group of "relatives" broader than the sea and heavier than the mountains.

"..."

After a brief silence, a corner of Ace's mouth lifted. He tilted his head, his expression contemptuous. "You're bluffing~"

Luffy even grinned, scratching his nose. "What's a Jinbe? Is it a fish? Is it tasty?"

Hachi: "...???"

Kuroobi: "...???"

"Are... are you two idiots?!" Hachi finally couldn't take it anymore, his voice cracking as he roared, "Do you know what a Shichibukai means?! That's a being that can contend with the great pirates!! A king personally appointed by the World Government!!! You actually dare!"

"Smack!"

Luffy walked over and slapped him so hard he saw stars. "So noisy!"

"A Shichibukai?" Ace narrowed his eyes coldly. "Let's see him try to touch my grandma."

"Big Brother Roy said..."

"If anyone dares to threaten our family," he raised his burning fist, the flames raging, "one word: burn."

Hachi and Kuroobi had no strength left. They didn't even dare to move again, but could only silently watch the two boys approach them step by step. "Wh-who are these two little kids...?!!"

Just as Hachi was about to struggle and say something more—

"Swish!"

A gust of sea breeze suddenly kicked up dust. A tall and straight figure, as if appearing out of thin air, landed steadily behind Ace and Luffy. The Justice cape fluttered in the sea breeze, and the metal military boots made a firm sound on the sand.

Roy, Rear Admiral of Marine Headquarters, the "monster officer" who had grown up in the East Blue, glanced lightly at the defeated soldiers on the ground and commented, "Well done."

His voice was not loud, but it fell like a clap of thunder on the hearts of every surviving fish-man. Hachi sat瘫 on the beach, his six arms stiffly wrapped around himself, as if that could block the impending fear. "Th-this pressure... this is not a normal human!" His fish gills twitched violently, his back soaked in cold sweat. In an instant, it was as if he had returned to the nightmare of being chased by a deep-sea Sea King in his childhood.

"Roy... it's actually that Roy?!" After seeing who it was, Hachi's eyes widened, and he almost screamed, "Rear Admiral Roy of Marine Headquarters! The monster who fought Red-Haired Shanks and walked away unscathed!!"

"He's been very active in the New World these past few years, his reputation is no less than that of the three monster Logia users of the Navy!"

"It's over... it's over, it's over!"

He finally understood. The reason those two boys didn't take the "Shichibukai" seriously was not because they were stupid, but because behind them stood a being that even a "Shichibukai" would not dare to provoke easily.

"Big Bro Roy!"

"Big Bro Roy, you're finally here!"

Ace ran over, the flames on his body not yet dissipated, the scorching heat still seeming to dance in his hands. He scratched his head and grinned a little uneasily. "When I was burning that fish-man just now... he said something about a 'Shichibukai'!"

"I figured you didn't stop me, so I just burned him. Is that okay?"

Luffy also came over, his big eyes shining. "Yeah, that octopus also said he was going to kill our relatives. He's so bad!"

Roy laughed out loud and ruffled Ace's messy head. "What's the big deal about killing a few pirates? You did well." His tone was extremely relaxed, as if he were commenting on a neighbor's kid kicking over a trash can on the street.

After saying that, Roy slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Hachi, who was癱 on the beach. With just a light sweep, that gaze was like a knife cutting across Hachi's skin, making him subconsciously curl into a ball.

"Right?" Roy's tone was still gentle, but his eyes held a pressing coldness.

"Gulp... gulp!" Hachi swallowed hard, so scared his six tentacles shot up, trembling like seaweed struck by lightning, his eyes wider than his takoyaki.

Kuroobi didn't even have time to scream before his eyes rolled back, and he fainted, foaming at the mouth.

Roy strode closer, knelt down, and looked Hachi in the eye. They were clear eyes, but they held a hair-raising pressure. "Go back and tell that fat-headed fish."

"If he wants revenge, he's welcome anytime."

"But—" He paused for a moment, his tone suddenly turning as cold as frost. "If he dares to touch a single hair on these two boys..."

"I will personally go to Fish-Man Island and have a long chat with him."

Hachi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His whole body was pressed down, and cold sweat poured down. He saw Roy stand up, lightly pat the non-existent dust from his military pants, and smile slightly. "Now, get lost."

"Yes!!! Uwaaahhhhhh!"

Hachi, as if granted a pardon, used all six of his arms, carried Kuroobi, and ran towards the sea at a hundred-meter dash speed, kicking up a series of waves. A few seconds later, he had disappeared over the horizon, not even a bubble left behind.

Ace pursed his lips. "Tsk, so boring. I thought I could fight a little longer."

Luffy suddenly jumped up with an "Ah!", his eyes shining. "Big Bro Roy, you said! If we won, you'd treat us to barbecue!"

"Mm," Ace nodded in agreement. "And you said it was that 'Fire Stone Grill' that we missed last time."

Roy looked at the two brothers, whose faces were written all over with "I want to eat meat," and smiled helplessly, turning around. "Alright, don't keep the villagers waiting too long."

The three of them walked towards the village, bickering, the setting sun stretching their shadows long. Behind them was the burning wreckage of the pirate ship. The fierce flames lit up the entire sea.
