One Piece: My Crew is from Other World-Chapter 71: Garp Arrives and Faces the Admiral!

Chapter 71: Garp Arrives and Faces the Admiral!

Ryuunosuke and Kuzan slowly made their way toward the center of the battlefield.

The moment their eyes met, the tension in the air thickened.

"The aura of a Navy Admiral really is something else," Ryuunosuke muttered with a smirk. "But with strength like that... why waste it being a lapdog for the World Government?"

He leaned back on a large chunk of rubble, casually sitting down. "Sure, you're not directly under their command, but in the end, it's all the same."

Everyone on the seas knew it.

The Navy was the face of the World Government—their sword and shield. From a pirate's perspective, calling them government dogs wasn't far off the mark.

"Are you done talking?" Kuzan asked coolly. "If that's all you've got to say, we can skip the banter."

"Ryuunosuke, Captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirates..."

"The Navy, under direct orders, has officially decided to arrest you. You're free to resist—but I wouldn't recommend it."

As he spoke, Kuzan let out a slow breath, and with it, cold mist swirled around him. Ice spikes began to form midair, glittering like deadly spears.

There was no doubt—his control over the Ice-Ice Fruit had reached terrifying levels.

Fighting Kuzan in a battlefield shaped by his own element? Not a good idea.

"Let's do this!" Ryuunosuke called out, unsheathing Ame-no-Habakiri in one smooth motion.

At that same moment, the ice spikes around Kuzan launched toward him.

Najenda, Akame, Ace, Hawkins, and Kuina sprang into action too, following their captain without hesitation.

"Watch out!" Kuzan barked to the Navy soldiers behind him. "These people aren't your average pirates!"

He wasn't bluffing.

With Gion and Vice Admiral gone, the rest of the navy would struggle to last even a few moves against Ryuunosuke's crew.

Najenda in particular—her massive Susanoo loomed behind her like a demonic guardian. Even Kuzan felt a chill that had nothing to do with his powers.

Where the hell did these monsters come from? he thought. There was nothing about them in any intel reports...

And the fact that all of them had chosen to follow Ryuunosuke? That wasn't luck or coincidence.

Could it be... this young captain had been planning everything in secret for years? And only now, he'd decided to set sail?

"Admiral Kuzan," Ryuunosuke said mockingly, "you're fighting me—yet you're still worried about my crew?"

"Isn't that a bit disrespectful?"

Without waiting for a response, Ryuunosuke unleashed a flurry of Magatama, purple projectiles slicing through the air like a storm of blades.

Sensing danger, Kuzan raised his hand, instantly forming a thick ice wall.

But it shattered a second later.

And from the smoke, a long blade slashed straight toward him.

"Ice Time Capsule!"

Kuzan's eyes narrowed in shock.

This strength—this wasn't what the intel said about Ryuunosuke at all.

Either the reports were dead wrong... or Ryuunosuke had been hiding his true strength until now.

But there was one more terrifying possibility.

That in just a few months, this man had grown this powerful.

If that were the case, Kuzan knew—he needed to take Ryuunosuke down today.

Because if he didn't, the day might come when he couldn't face the Dragon Hunter Pirates alone.

Clang!

Ryuunosuke was knocked back by a wave of freezing force.

"Not bad," he muttered, steadying himself. "But ice, huh?"

"I wonder if you can handle—"

BOOM!

Before he could finish, a massive fist came out of nowhere.

Tsukuyomi leapt in front of his master, but it didn't matter.

Both were blown back together, crashing hard into the ground.

"Urgh—" Ryuunosuke staggered to his feet, coughing up blood.

"Damn it, Vice Admiral Garp! Did you have to hit so damn hard!?"

"You trying to kill me!?"

He glared up at the man who'd just arrived—Monkey D. Garp, the Hero of the Navy.

Garp scratched the back of his head. "I was in the East Blue, wanted to check in on Luffy."

"But I got called over for a mission and ended up taking the wrong route."

"Took a nap and missed the action," he grinned. "But I made it just in time."

"Ryuunosuke, come with me to Navy Headquarters."

"I'll make sure you live. Do a few years in Impel Down, maybe even join the Navy someday!"

His voice was loud, direct—like he was giving an order, not an offer.

And his face made it clear he meant every word.

Ryuunosuke smirked. "Vice Admiral Garp... don't you think my tone already told you my answer?"

"Ace!" he shouted. "That old man's yours. Don't let your grandpa drag you back!"

The air around them flared with heat as a sea of fire erupted, engulfing Garp.

"I'm not going back with that old fossil!" Ace roared. "I've come too far!"

But before he could finish—

BOOM!

Garp punched through the flames like they were smoke, his fist slamming into the ice Kuzan had created.

Cracks spiderwebbed across the battlefield.

If Kuzan hadn't stabilized it immediately, Garp would've shattered everything with one hit.

"Admiral Kuzan," Ryuunosuke said calmly, "Looks like Vice Admiral Garp's a bit busy now."

"Which means it's time for us to finish this."

"Navy Admiral? Heh—nothing special!"

Ryuunosuke's body erupted with a powerful life force.

Tsukuyomi, who had been obliterated earlier, was completely restored, his aura even stronger than before.

The Magatama floating around Ryuunosuke shimmered with strange, new light. freewёbnoνel.com

Kuzan clenched his jaw.

He didn't know what was happening, but he could feel it—Ryuunosuke was evolving mid-battle.

"Shit," Kuzan muttered. "His attacks are getting weirder."

"Ice Pheasant Flock!"

Waves of ice-birds surged toward Ryuunosuke, but before they hit—

"Don't get distracted, Admiral."

The voice echoed directly in Kuzan's mind.

And in a flash—his body vanished.

When he reappeared, he was locked in Tsukuyomi's arms.

"What the—!?"

His blood began to drain rapidly, his strength fading.

Even the ice creatures he'd just summoned shattered into nothing.

"This... this thing swapped places with me?!"

"Is it a space-type Devil Fruit?"

"But the reports said he wasn't a Devil Fruit user!"

Panic and confusion swirled through Kuzan's mind.

He tried to fight back—ice spikes burst from his body, stabbing into Tsukuyomi's limbs.

But it didn't matter.

Tsukuyomi's form was made of layered, durable materials. As long as the core remained intact, it couldn't be destroyed.

Worse—every drop of life force it absorbed from Kuzan only made it stronger.
