Maha Beach, Moshla Island
Pagano was the first to break the silence. "Wait, Captain Garp, you used to be married to Humi nee-san? You have a kid? You never said anything about that."
Garp furrowed his eyebrows. "Later! Humi, I've been meaning to send you the money for Dragon. I promise I'll send it soon! For now, why are you here and what should we do?" By this time the two Border Chiefs had stood up and formed a triangle with Oolong surrounding the Marines.
"I was a spy, obviously, it was in your case files!" Humi snapped, "I was gathering information and was supposed to rejoin when your shipped docked at the island but you blew it. Now it's just the three of us against Oolong -"
"Silence, traitor!" Oolong said, clapping his hands together. A purple bubble formed around his hands which reshaped itself into another purple energy blade. The Pirate Commander released the blade, with Humi and Pagano promptly jumping out of the way. However, Garp stayed in place, again blocking the blade with his Haki. It took all of his energy just to stay in place. Besides the force, the blade's heat was overwhelming. Garp's entire body felt cindered; the sand at his feet was turning into molten glass. Just as Garp thought he would lose out to the the blade, it finally began to weaken.
When the blade disappeared, Garp found Oolong only a few feet in front of him. Humi and Pagano faced the Border Chiefs, who were back on their feet. "You intercepted yet another blade! I'm impressed," Oolong said with heavy breath and a flushed face, "I definitely want to fight you now, Captain Garp." The look in his eyes which was both focused and feral.
As Garp assumed his fighting stance, he noticed that his fists were shaking and his heart felt heavy. It took him a few moments to realize that this was fear, an emotion he hadn't felt in many years. He was face-to-face with a commander of one of the most powerful pirates in the world. However, he knew he couldn't let it show. "Bring it on!" Garp said, with a large grin. As he heard the sound of swords clashing and wind blowing from behind him, he ran at Oolong with Haki-coated fists.
Waters Outside Moshla Island
A soldier ran onto the deck of the Marine warship. "Captain Tsuru, I got a call from Commander Humi. She says that Captain Garp, I quote, 'made a big mess and pissed off Commander Oolong.' She said she'll have to blow her cover to, I quote, 'cover his ass'. Finally, she asked you to garnish 50,000 Belly from Garp's wages for child support."
Tsuru spit out her drink. "Garp, that idiot! I thought his plan was going to link up with Humi when he got to the island. Instead he blows her cover and picks a fight with one of the Dry Leaves Commanders? Did he not know Humi was going to be there? And he isn't even taking care of his son?"
The soldier glanced downward. "About that, it seems that Captain Garp didn't open any of the case files that Marine HQ sent us, including about embedded assets. Instead, he seemed to use it as a napkin."
"Of course he did. How long till we reach Moshla Island?"
"An hour or so. There haven't been any winds so it'll be pretty slow."
"Alright, that gives us enough time to prepare the soldiers to fight as soon as we get near the island. Given what that dumbass Garp has done I'm sure we'll have quite a large welcoming party waiting for us."
