One Piece: My Crew is from Other World-Chapter 73: The Death of Members!

Chapter 73: The Death of Members!

Even Garp, a seasoned veteran who had witnessed countless brutal battles, was frozen in place.

What just happened?

Ace—his grandson in all but name—was dead.

Killed by a pirate.

Right in front of him.

The man he raised. The man he loved like family.

And that bastard... that bastard dared to—

"Vice Admiral Garp! What should we do!?" Tokikake asked, panic creeping into his voice.

Everything had gone off the rails.

The situation was a complete disaster.

If someone that powerful had been fighting with them, maybe they could've taken down Ryuunosuke.

But instead, they were watching a massacre unfold.

And this so-called ally?

He just killed his own crewmates like flipping a switch.

How the hell were they supposed to trust someone like that?

"I don't accept your surrender," Garp growled, teeth clenched.

"You... killed Ace."

"Get ready... to die."

In an instant, a terrifying pressure exploded from Garp's body.

"Boom. Boom. Boom—"

Lower-ranking marines collapsed on the spot. Even the wounded, who had been clinging to consciousness, fell like dominoes.

"Conqueror's Haki!"

"Of course... He's Garp. The Hero of the Marines. The face of the Navy."

"Having Conqueror's Haki is only natural."

As Garp's overwhelming aura swept the battlefield, Najenda didn't hesitate—she went straight for Akame and Kuina, killing both with precision and reclaiming their swords.

But the moment they fell, Garp appeared in front of her like a ghost.

"BOOM!"

One punch.

Before Susanoo could even react, Najenda was sent flying. Blood sprayed through the air.

Susanoo lunged forward, catching her midair.

"Najenda!"

"I'm okay... Just be careful—"

"Be careful? Babe, it's already too late."

Before she could finish her sentence, Garp was already there again. Another punch was coming fast.

This time, Susanoo intercepted the blow.

"Is Vice Admiral Garp... really this terrifying?" Gion muttered, her eyes wide.

To her, Garp had always been the goofy, unreliable type.

She had trained under him when she was young, knew his lazy, joking demeanor all too well.

He never got mad. Always chill, always patient, even when they screwed up during training.

But this?

This was a side of Garp she'd never seen before.

"He's back," someone whispered.

"Back then, Garp was the guy chasing the Pirate King all over the world," Tokikake said, dragging his exhausted body over.

"Even compared to the current Admirals, he's not much weaker."

"Hell, I doubt even the Admirals would want to fight him head-on."

Najenda, who had just overpowered Tokikake minutes ago, now looked completely helpless against Garp.

"So this is the gap... between us and the Navy's top combat power?" Gion whispered, gripping her weapon tighter.

She had thought she was strong.

She was already a Vice Admiral, after all.

But now?

She realized just how wide that gap still was.

"Why is that guy so calm?" Tokikake muttered.

He glanced at Ryuunosuke, still locked in combat with Kuzan.

There was no fear on his face.

No anger.

No panic—even after losing several crewmates.

He was smiling.

Still smiling.

"What the hell is this guy?"

"A monster."

"This is the scariest pirate I've ever seen," Gion whispered. "Most pirates... they at least feel something."

"But this guy... he has no emotions."

Just minutes ago, they were actually fighting this crew.

"Kuzan," Ryuunosuke called out casually, "if this is all you've got, then the Navy's about to lose an Admiral."

"Pure Yang Flame."

Ryuunosuke held up a card. A pillar of fire shot into the sky, condensing into a massive fireball that rushed straight toward Kuzan.

Feeling the searing heat, Kuzan's eyes narrowed. He immediately launched a counterattack.

"Ice Age."

Glacial waves surged from his palms, surrounding the fireball with bone-chilling cold.

He watched carefully, finally letting out a breath.

"Crisis averted—wait."

"BOOM!"

Too late.

Kuzan's eyes widened.

He had taken his attention off Ryuunosuke for a second—and that's all it took.

BAM!

Tsukuyomi and Ryuunosuke struck him in unison, sending Kuzan flying across the battlefield.

Ryuunosuke stood calmly on the ice.

Because Garp was approaching.

And in his grip was Najenda—limp, unconscious.

"Ryuunosuke," Garp said coldly. "What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Ace was just killed by this woman!"

"And your crew—she killed them too!"

Ryuunosuke tilted his head. "Ace is dead?"

"Really?"

"Old man, don't be mad. Weren't they all just pirates?"

"Why are you, a naval hero, mourning pirates?"

"Where's the justice you always talk about?"

His voice was light, mocking. But his words hit hard.

Garp stopped in his tracks.

His grip tightened. His jaw clenched.

Justice.

Yes, by the Navy's standards, everyone who had just died was a pirate. Criminals.

There was no reason to mourn them.

But still...

They were his family.

How could he not be angry?

How could he not grieve?

And worse—Ryuunosuke, the one standing in front of him now—he'd changed.

Garp didn't recognize this man anymore.

"Yo, old man. Are you sad for me?"

A voice cut through the air.

Garp's eyes widened.

"...Ace?"

He turned.

There, standing beside Ryuunosuke, was Ace.

Grinning like an idiot.

"Come on, old man. I thought you didn't care when I died," Ace said, scratching his head.

"Thanks... but I'm still a pirate."

Flames danced around his body as he smirked.

He didn't hesitate—he stood right beside Ryuunosuke.

"Brother Ryuunosuke... that sucked," Ace muttered, dusting himself off. "Let's not use that trick again unless we have to."

Akame walked up next, her expression still shaken.

Najenda appeared beside her, holding out their swords.

"Here, Akame. Your sword. Kuina's too."

Garp glanced down at the body he had been holding.

Najenda.

Except now, it had already crumbled into dust.

And standing before him... were all the crewmates he thought had been killed.

Including Ace.

What the hell just happened?
