One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 242 Tremor-Tremor Fruit

Rorschach scratched his head awkwardly, "I don't really have many left. Although there aren't many, I still have some top-tier Devil Fruits."

As Luo Xia spoke, the two people opposite him showed curious expressions.

Rorschach glanced at Garp, who was staring at him with wide eyes, and then at his system pocket. He promptly shook his head.

Rorschach held up one finger and stood there. "Wait a minute."

The two people opposite him were stunned, not knowing what he meant, but since Luo Xia had closed his eyes, they didn't want to disturb him.

Everyone had no choice but to wait quietly for Rorschach.

As time passed, Luo Xia slowly opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, the light in his hand disappeared.

Rorschach looked around without saying a word, but instead took out a black pear-shaped fruit with spiral patterns on it, which was the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Garp's eyes widened when he saw the fruit in Rorschach's hand. "What kind of fruit is this? And it's black! This is the first time I've ever seen a black Devil Fruit. How did you get one?"

Rorschach smiled and said, "I conjured it up. Anyway, it's a Devil Fruit ability that I used."

"As for what kind of fruit it is, if you believe it, it's the Tremor-Tremor Fruit."

Upon hearing this, Garp was first taken aback, then burst into laughter, "Kid, you must be joking. The Tremor-Tremor Fruit already belongs to Whitebeard, how could it be in your possession?"

"Even though you have the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, don't talk nonsense."

Warring States nodded in agreement.

Luo Xia said seriously, "I'm serious, and this one is for you. After all, I gave it to my old man, how could I not give it to you?"

Garp glanced indifferently at the fruit Rorschach offered and shook his head. "No, no, this thing has quite a few flaws. My iron fist can wipe out all pirates."

"Oh? Then tell me what the drawbacks are? I'd like to hear them!"

Upon seeing this, Garp coughed twice. "Firstly, according to Sengoku, this stuff tastes worse than shit. I don't like the flavor."

"Secondly, this stuff has side effects; it's not as good as my Iron Fist of Love."

Hearing Garp's words, Rorschach couldn't help but laugh. "Old man, that's quite a strange reason. But you know the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. With its help, it'll be much easier for you to fight pirates."

Sengoku, standing nearby, also advised, "Garp, why don't you reconsider? After all, this kid is from the future, and he doesn't seem to be lying."

Garp crossed his arms and snorted, "Even if it were the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, I wouldn't need such an external force. My strength comes from cultivating it step by step."

Luo Xia rolled his eyes and said calmly, "This fruit has no side effects. Even if you eat this fruit and jump into the sea, it will be fine."

"Of course, the premise is that you have to know how to swim. If you can't swim, then it's all for nothing."

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Garp's eyes. "Really? No side effects at all?"

Rorschach nodded vigorously. "It's absolutely true. This is a specially treated Tremor-Tremor Fruit, unlike the original one."

Sengoku also stepped forward to examine the fruit closely. "Garp, perhaps this is an opportunity. If what he said is true, it will greatly enhance your strength."

Garp stroked his chin and pondered for a moment. "Hmph, even if there are no side effects, after eating this thing, won't you be limited by the Devil Fruit, like being afraid of seawater?"

Luo Xia waved his hand with a smile, "I already said, as long as you can swim, it's fine for you to eat this fruit and jump into the sea."

Garp began to waver. He thought that if he possessed the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he could wipe out pirates and protect civilians more quickly.

After hesitating for a long time, Garp finally reached out and took the fruit. "Fine, I'll trust you this once."

If I find out you've lied to me, don't blame me for my ruthless fist.

After saying that, Garp took a bite of the fruit, a strange expression on his face.

Luo Xia sat opposite, watching the scene with satisfaction. Moreover, Luo Xia and the others had a hint of wickedness in their eyes, as if they were expecting something.

As Garp opened his mouth wide and bit into the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, juice gushed out.

What puzzled everyone was that as soon as young Garp bit down, he seemed to freeze, completely still, with his eyes wide open, as if he had encountered something incredible.

Whether it was a minute or two later, Sengoku, who was sitting next to Garp, finally started to get impatient.

Then he nudged Garp, saying, "Look at you, so pathetic. It's not like I haven't tasted Devil Fruits. How can you be like this?"

Perhaps feeling embarrassed by Sengoku's words, Garp took a bite out of the Devil Fruit, then another bite, then two bites, then three bites, and he ate the Devil Fruit clean.

Just after Garp finished eating the fruit, everyone thought he would stand up excitedly, but instead he was making "goo, goo" sounds.

Luo Xia rubbed his forehead, speechless. "You old fool, who told you to eat them all?"

"Just one bite is enough!"

After about a minute, Garp finally returned to normal and was sitting on the sofa with a slightly flushed face.

Sengoku patted Garp on the shoulder and asked, "Garp, how are you feeling?"

"What do you mean, how about it?"

"Is there an extra force within your body?"

"For example... for example, the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"

Garp frowned, closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then suddenly opened them wide, swung his right fist, and a black, vibrating force erupted, instantly shattering the table in front of him into pieces.

"This...this power!" Garp's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

Rorschach laughed and said, "Well, old man Garp, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"And it has black vibration capabilities, which is not bad."

Garp laughed excitedly: "Hahaha, with this power, let's see how arrogant those pirates can be now!"

Sengoku also smiled excitedly: "Now our navy's strength has increased considerably."

"And it really is the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit."

Rorschach shrugged. "Of course, why would I, Rorschach, lie?"

Garp exclaimed excitedly, "With the added Tremor ability, I can finally catch that Roger guy!"

"That guy always gets away. I'll definitely catch him next time I see him."

Upon hearing this, Garp, who was sitting next to Rorschach, also smiled. "As expected of my past self, that's exactly what I should do. Arrest that guy."

"Don't worry, don't worry!"
