Chapter 22 - 022 – First Bounty: The Overlord of the East Blue, Krieg!

"Garp, be honest, what is your relationship with Straw Hat boy Luffy?" Sengoku asked with a grim face.

"He's my grandson."

Garp didn't hide it.

Hearing this, Sengoku sighed helplessly.

I should have known.

Sengoku patted his old partner's shoulder, comforting him, "Don't worry, your grandson is fine."

He's only injured, he won't be beaten to death.

"No," Sengoku reminded with a stern face, "Garp, if you see him, persuade him properly. Don't let him be a pirate."

Pirates do not have good endings.

Garp slammed the table angrily, "Don't worry, I'll definitely teach that brat a good lesson."

Just then, the files on Reno and his crew arrived.

"Take a look, it's about Reno." Sengoku handed the file to Garp.

"This is the brat?!" Looking at Reno's photo, Garp frowned slightly.

He's quite handsome, but can he take one of my fists?!

Garp continued to flip through the files on the other members of the Reno Pirates.

He didn't know until he looked, and when he looked, he was shocked.

Good heavens, not only are they all female crew members.

They're all beautiful women.

Nami: Navigator of the Reno Pirates, suspected user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Nojiko: Nami's sister, abilities unknown.

Kaya: Identity unknown?

Makino: Identity unknown?

Wait.

Garp looked at the last file and rubbed his eyes hard.

"Makino?!!"

Suddenly, he recalled something from a few days ago.

Dadan had called him, cursing and swearing the whole time.

Makino had been taken away by some brat, and she told him to go find her immediately.

He thought Dadan was joking and didn't pay it any mind.

So the brat who took Makino was Reno.

Alright then.

Now there's one more reason to deal with Reno.

"When did Logia-type Devil Fruits become so cheap?!"

"Not only have two appeared at once, but even the most destructive Rumble-Rumble Fruit has shown up."

Garp closed the file and said in a deep voice.

Sengoku shook his head, "That's what I'm worried about too."

"If it really is the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, we absolutely cannot let them continue to grow stronger."

According to Marine records, there was once a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Their combat power was extraordinary.

They single-handedly fought against two of the Marines' top experts, unleashing lightning power like an apocalyptic disaster.

Everything within a radius of several thousand meters was turned to rubble.

Despite being besieged by two powerful Marine experts, they still managed to retreat unscathed.

That person became famous from that single battle!

Now that the Rumble-Rumble Fruit has reappeared on the seas, we must prepare in advance and take precautions.

"I'll make a trip back to the East Blue," Garp stood up.

To find Luffy.

To capture Reno.

It was a perfect chance to kill two birds with one stone.

Sengoku shook his head, "Garp, according to intelligence, Reno has been using the power of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit to fly his pirate ship through the air. The chances of finding him are slim."

Garp, for once, didn't argue. It was true.

Like right now, who knew where Reno had flown off to.

But Sengoku didn't refuse Garp's request. He knew Garp's main reason for returning to the East Blue was Luffy.

"Let's issue the wanted posters first. Even if we can't find them, we can't let them have it too easy."

Sengoku settled for the next best thing.

Four beautiful crew members, living in a paradise of tenderness every day.

Even he was envious.

"Alright then, I'll go to the East Blue and take a look first."

Garp left this sentence behind and hurriedly left the office.

He couldn't wait to teach Luffy a lesson.

To beat his head in.

At the same time, the wanted posters for Reno and his crew were quickly issued.

...

...

The Sea Restaurant Baratie.

The most famous restaurant in the East Blue, its culinary skills were renowned throughout the sea, and people from other waters came here every day, drawn by its reputation.

It looks like a giant ship, with fish-shaped figureheads on both sides. When threatened, it can transform into a battle mode at a moment's notice.

Generally, no one dares to cause trouble here.

After a three-day journey, Reno and the others finally arrived.

To avoid unnecessary commotion, as they neared the Baratie, he had the Going Merry sail directly on the sea's surface.

"Is that the Baratie restaurant?! It's exactly as the rumors say."

On the deck, Nami raised her hand to look into the distance, saying with pleasant surprise.

If she had known there were such fun places in the East Blue, she would have come out to see them sooner.

But because of Arlong, she had been busy with her mission for years, desperate to make money.

She could only secretly yearn for it.

Kaya's eyes were sparkling. Having been chronically ill before, she had never stepped out of her home.

Every new place was a novelty to her.

"Look, there's a pirate ship over there," Nojiko pointed ahead in surprise.

The women looked and saw that it was indeed a pirate ship.

It was tattered and broken.

Seeing the iconic flag fluttering on the mast, a smile curved Reno's lips.

"That pirate ship is called the Dreadnaught Sabre, the ship of the East Blue's overlord, the Krieg Pirates."

The overlord of the East Blue?!

Isn't he powerful?!

"Reno, who's stronger, Krieg or Arlong?!" Nami asked.

"I don't know, they're both equally weak, I guess," Reno shook his head and added, "But Krieg's bounty is 17 million Beri."

"Tch, only 17 million?!" Nami pouted, suddenly feeling confident.

After all, they had killed the 20 million Beri Arlong.

"Isn't Krieg the overlord of the East Blue?! Why does his ship look like this?!"

Makino voiced the question in her heart.

"Perhaps they saw something they shouldn't have."

Reno couldn't help but laugh.

A bunch of miserable guys.

They set out to sea with grand ambitions, finally made it to the Grand Line, only to run into Hawkeye.

Just by looking at him for a moment too long, they made a powerful enemy.

Krieg's mentality completely collapsed.

After docking the Going Merry, Reno called out to the women.

"Let's go. We're improving our meals today. Let's try the food here."

The women were happy and followed Reno towards the restaurant.

At this moment, the restaurant door was open, and a person was standing at the entrance.

Just as Reno and his group reached the entrance, they saw this person facing the restaurant, laughing like an idiot.

"Hahahaha... I've decided! Starting today, I'm taking over the Baratie restaurant! If you don't want to die, you'll all listen to me obediently!"
