Hello everyone, here is another one shot. This is a missing scene
This is how Garp found out about Ann
This was a request from Guest, as well as I've been planning it for a small while
Hope you enjoy
Read and relax
Garp kept an angry sigh down as he stared at Edgar, a marine Garp had the unfortunate event of working with for the last weeks. The man might be a vice admiral and strong, but he was absolutely insane. And no, Garp was not overreacting, as he knew he himself could take a bit off, but he didn't do it to purposefully kill or torture, causing so much pain to others, even to his own freaking crew! That man should be let go, not being given this power he had, he would ruin his crew now, and everyone was terrified, and Garp understood it. But did he get any help when he complained? No, only a 'That's how he works, deal with it.' Garp had not seen anyone so insane for a long while, and he shouldn't be allowed to continue.
He had heard about him before. On how he could be a bit rough and harsh, but he always thought the others were over exaggerating. But he now knew that all the rumors and more was true, the man was a psychopath. A psychopath with power. When this was over, he would be sure to try and get rid of the man of all his power in the marines. If he only went for pirates, hunters, rule breakers and so on, it would have been fine, but he sacrificed his own men for his own sick fun, not caring the slightest of the people he killed. Garp detested this man, and when this was over, he would do his best to get him thrown out of the marines. If he did so much when he was around, he couldn't bring himself to think what he might do when he wasn't around.
Garp tried not to glare at him too much, trying to keep his attention anywhere else in the bar they were at, going for looking out the window for now. After all, he didn't want the madman to think Garp didn't like him. Garp liked his crew, they didn't annoy him too much.
But as he looked around in the bar, he felt himself shocked when he saw Red Haired Shanks there, just sitting normal and drinking with his first mate. Why would he be here? And how did no one react to it?! When he looked over to Edgar, he was way busy with a woman, most likely someone from the red-light district. That man was a sick pervert too.
But he felt himself frown as there was something familiar with the woman. He wasn't sure what, but there was something. After a second, he decided to ignore her, he had probably seen her before or that she looked like some other loose woman. Many of them looked the same, although this one didn't look directly like a loose woman, but who knew. For now, he was more curious about the pirate captain and what he might need to do here. After a second of thinking, seeing Edgar going away with the woman to one of the rooms here, Garp decided to see what the pirate was doing here, no longer needing to be scared that Edgar saw him being civil with pirates.
When he was at the table they sat at, he sat down and sent a half glare. ¨RedHair, what are you doing here?!¨ The captain gave a small wave at him, giving a laugh. ¨Calm down, I'm not doing anything, I'm just here to help if it's needed.¨ Garp frowned, ¨Help who?¨ Maybe other pirates were here. He could maybe let Shanks go, but he wouldn't do that if it were someone worse here. He saw the first mate, Benn if he remembered, sent a glare at his captain. ¨Shanks.¨ He said, clearly a warning to not tell, making him frown more. But even though the warning, Shanks waved a hand at Benn, the damn smile staying. ¨Help Ace of course.¨
Garp was shocked. Ace was here? That was actually maybe something good. Maybe he could get Ace to dig up some dirt on Edgar so he could show it to Sengoku. Shanks probably knew where he was.
Just as he was about to ask Shanks where he was, Shanks gave a small laugh, ¨Or, ah, not Ace, more undercover things, the reason we're here to-.¨ He was cut off by Benn hitting him. ¨You will ruin it if you continue to spill everything. You can't just tell things to random people, and marines at that.¨ Benn didn't look happy, and Shanks just let out a whine and an apology. Garp gave a frown, before he realized the might not know he knew about Ace being an assassin. ¨I know what Ace is. He's my grandson for goodness sake!¨ Well, he hadn't known for long, only for a year and half, but the red haired captain didn't need to know that. Garp was still mixed about Ace being an assassin, but he somewhat understood it and half somewhat accepted it, or at least trying too.
Shanks looked at him shocked. ¨Huh, I never would have believed Ace would have told he went undercover as Ann. He never told me.¨
Garp frowned. Undercover and Ann? He didn't know Ace did undercover business as… a… woman? He looked over to where Edgar had headed with the woman, thinking that might have been Ace. Garp looked in shock and urgency at Shanks. ¨The woman in the black dress?!¨ Shanks gave a frown. ¨Yeah. I thought you said you knew?¨ No no no! That man was psychotic! How was Shanks this calm if he was here to help?! Maybe he didn't know how insane this man was.
Without thinking, concerned for the brat, Garp stood up and went to the barmaid. ¨The marine and woman, which room?!¨ He asked quickly, not having time to go search through every room. As soon as he saw the woman on her way to decline, the frown being a tell, he let out a small growl. ¨Now!¨ He heard Shanks telling him to stop, but ignored him. Ace could get killed! The barmaid swallowed, seeing he was serious, ¨Room 12.¨ Garp didn't hesitate in heading up the stairs to the rooms, pushing past Shanks that tried to stop him.
When he got to the room, he all but kicked down the door, ready to do something if that madman had hurt his grandson.
But when the door was broken down and he saw the inside, he saw a dead Edgar with a slit throat and the woman cleaning a blade she held. She sent him a look, before putting the dagger away and snapping her fingers at the dead body, making him disappear. ¨You never saw me, or him going here. When you search for him in the morning, check the lower room in his boat. Sengoku will think he ran away in fear of being caught.¨
Garp stood still in shock for a second, shocked Ace had managed to already kill him. But it was Ace, he was strong, maybe more so than he thought. He managed to give a nod, not able to speak. He knew Edgar didn't let anyone to the lower rooms on the boat he had, and Garp now dreaded what he would find. He would make sure none of the more weaker and faint hearted ones went and checked there, he would go himself with those he thought could handle whatever he had there.
When Ace, or the woman, Ann, walked passed him to head out, most likely to the pirate captain, Garp made a decision. Without looking at Ace, he spoke, trying to sound as sincere as possible.
¨Thank you.¨
He heard the heels stopping, feeling Ace sending him a look for a second. Garp had never spoken about Aces work, never bringing it up and trying to avoid it at all times. But this man shouldn't have been allowed to continue what he did, and he had a feeling most would be glad he was gone when they found out what was in the lower rooms of his boat. He heard Ace starting to walk again, the heels clacking. ¨It was nothing, Garp.¨ Then Ace left, the sounds of heels fading.
After giving a sigh, he headed down to the bar again, barely catching a glimpse of the two pirates leaving with the woman.
Ace did his best to fix the world, even placing himself in situation like this. Had he not been able to fight for himself, Garp wouldn't have been able to think what might have happened.
He was proud of his grandson.
