Quickly, Garp finished the paperwork with Sengoku and joined a Navy fleet headed to the East Blue to ensure safety on the way. Interestingly, the fleet was led by Vice Admiral Tsuru. Garp even took the opportunity to introduce Rokujin to Tsuru, saying, “Little Tsuru, this is my grandson Rokujin. Please take care of him on the way!”
“Is this your grandson, Garp?” Vice Admiral Tsuru frowned slightly. In her memory, Garp’s grandson shouldn’t be this old. “He’s adopted, but don’t underestimate him. My grandson has been in the Navy for just a few months and has already killed Kuro!” Garp said, his lips curling into a proud smile. As a grandfather, he enjoyed boasting about his grandson in front of others. And finally, he had a grandson worth boasting about in the Navy. After all, one son was a revolutionary leader, and both grandsons were pirates!
After a moment of contemplation, Tsuru responded, “Kuro? The captain of the Black Cat Pirates, that guy was quite formidable.” “Young man, how did you manage to kill him?” “It was just luck, Vice Admiral Tsuru!” Rokujin replied modestly. However, Tsuru didn’t believe it, her face showing a kind smile, “Alright, calling me Vice Admiral Tsuru is too formal. Your grandfather and I were contemporaries; just call me Granny Tsuru.” “Okay, Granny Tsuru!” Rokujin smiled.
Seeing this, Garp quickly pulled Rokujin back, “Little Tsuru, this is my grandson, don’t steal him from me!” “I don’t need to,” Tsuru chuckled, shaking her head. Suddenly, a thought struck Garp, “Right, don’t you have a granddaughter? Introduce her to Rokujin; maybe they’ll hit it off!” “Let’s not meddle in young people’s affairs!” Tsuru waved her hand dismissively. Hearing this, Garp didn’t press further.
Rokujin, however, was intrigued. Tsuru’s granddaughter, probably Peacock! The user of the Whip-Whip Fruit, this… Meanwhile, an image flashed in his mind. A woman in high heels, with fiery red lipstick and a black whip in hand, continuously whipping the ground, creating a “snap snap snap” sound. At this thought, Rokujin felt goosebumps all over his body.
In the afternoon, Rokujin boarded Vice Admiral Tsuru’s ship to the East Blue. It’s worth mentioning that the ship a vice admiral travels on is indeed large, with a huge ‘Tsuru’ character on one of its sails. Additionally, Doflamingo decided to leave upon seeing Tsuru’s ship. With Vice Admiral Tsuru’s protection, the journey was smooth sailing without any pirate daring to cause trouble.
Thus, on the journey, Rokujin found time to train. Each night, he rested and trained his Conqueror’s Haki. In the morning and afternoon, he practiced swordsmanship. In the evening, he took walks, practicing ‘Rokushiki: Soru’. His routine was incredibly regular, making him a well-known figure on the ship.
Two months later, Tsuru’s ship arrived in the East Blue. As Tsuru had other matters to attend to, she transferred Rokujin to another Navy ship. Before parting, Tsuru made a point to tell him, “Young man, I’ll be here waiting for you in a month, and we’ll return together!” “Thank you, Granny Tsuru!” Rokujin quickly expressed his gratitude. “Goodbye!” “Goodbye!” Watching Tsuru’s ship gradually fade into the distance, Rokujin clenched his fists and swore silently, “My strength is still too weak; one day I must have my own warship!”

Rokujin returned to Foosha Village on a Navy ship a few days later. Many people were already watching from the shore before reaching the dock. “Navy! There’s a Navy ship coming!” “I wonder if it’s Vice Admiral Garp!” “It might be; maybe Rokujin is coming back with them!”
As he got closer, Rokujin waved and shouted, “First Uncle, Second Uncle!” Hearing the familiar voice, the people on the shore finally saw it was Rokujin. “It’s Rokujin!” “Hahaha, it is him!” “Has he become a Marine, coming back to see us?”…
Rokujin’s voice was loud enough even for the hard-of-hearing elders to hear. Soon after, the Navy ship docked, and Rokujin jumped from the boat, calling out, “Uncle, Grandpa Roy…” “You’re back! Did you become a Marine? Did you find a wife in the Navy?” “I can introduce you to a wife with a big butt!” “Don’t worry, Granny Zhou has one too!”

“…” For a moment, a horde of relatives swarmed around Rokujin, enveloping him. It took a while, but Rokujin emerged and headed straight for the tavern. Opening the door, he saw Makino standing behind the bar. They noticed each other immediately.
“Makino!” Rokujin exclaimed.
“Rokujin!” Makino’s face lit up with a bright smile as she quickly stepped around the bar, grabbed Rokujin’s hand, and began inspecting him from head to toe. “How was it? Was it tough training with the Navy? Did Vice Admiral Garp take good care of you?”
“It’s been so long. You’ve gotten tanned and bulked up!”
“Hehe, it’s okay, Makino,” Rokujin said, scratching his head awkwardly. He continued, “I also went on a mission to take down a pirate killed one with a bounty of 16 million Berries!”
Being a young man inexperienced in such matters, the physical contact with a woman made him react unconsciously. “What? 16 million Berries?” “Rokujin is so impressive. He’ll be as great as your grandfather one day!”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked! Only Makino looked worried, “16 million Berries, such a high bounty, means the pirate must have been very dangerous! You weren’t hurt, were you?”
“It’s fine, Makino!” Rokujin reassured her with a smile. Since arriving in this world, he has been living in Foosha Village and under Makino’s care a lot. To say he didn’t have feelings for Makino would be a lie!
“Mmm…” Despite his reassurance, worry still painted Makino’s face.
“Rokujin, what brought you back this time?” the village chief asked, leaning on his cane.
“Grandpa asked me to check on Luffy and Ace. Makino, do you want to come along?” Rokujin asked.
