Chapter 241: A Small Dragon
W-What can I give you, sir?" The bartender hesitantly asked.
"Give me the best stuff you have. For both of us." Alexander ordered.
"Dobby, we'll be going to the Goa Kingdom and its nearby places again after this. We will stay there until I'm transferred to the New World. They might not do that until their inquiry of Saint Notarin's death is complete."
"You can focus on uplifting the world in the meantime," Dobby suggested.
"That is exactly what I will do. But we also have to find that old lizard. God knows where he is."
Alexander then noticed the bar owner talking to the long mustached man in a straw hat, "Forget about going there, no one comes back from the sea of the devil, you don't have to go there, Roger."
The man laughed, "Hahaha... That is why I'm going there."
Alexander got interested, "Why do you even want to go there? It's not that big of a deal, It's just filled with weird islands and people."
Roger tilted his head and looked at Alexander. Roger's eyes widened seeing his uniform and recognizing him. It seems he missed Alexander's arrival.
"Hahaha... This must be fate, meeting an Admiral here and about me going there, I want to circumvent the world, that is my last dream." He told Alexander."Hmm... That is quite an adventurous aim you got there. I wish you luck then. Here, take these, these two are log poses. The one with a single needle helps navigate in paradise while the other in the New World. Be a good man and don't become a pirate okay? We will probably see each other in the future." He said and patted Roger's back.
Roger laughed, this was the first time he met a Marine like him, "My name is Gol D Roger, thank you for these."
"Haha... You probably know my name, Alexander Maxim D Universe," Alexander responded.
But it shocked Roger a bit, "I didn't know you also have the initial D in your name."
"Most tend to only read the first and last name of mine because it's too long so it's usually left out. Now, let's have a drink for two men with a bit similar name." Alexander clanked his bottle with him and both drank it in one go.
After that Alexander went back on his way to the Goa Kingdom. The small reunited family waved their hands happily as they left.
On their way, Alexander decided to go and check out the auction house for devil fruits. Loguetown was a major market and it was close to the Grand Line, which made it highly likely that there would be Devil Fruit at the auction.
Alexander and Dobby checked out what was being sold. They did find a fruit there and it was an unknown one.
Alexander found the seller's details and went to talk to him directly. It was an old fisherman from the town.
The old man nearly peed himself seeing Alexander coming to him,
"Where did you find the Devil fruit?" he asked.
"I-I found it while fishing..."
"You have put 80 million berries price tag on it. I will give you that for the fruit." Alexander offered.
The man quickly agreed and sold him the fruit. Soon Alexander and Dobby were on their way. Leaving behind the gobsmacked fisherman with a suitcase full of cash money. He threw his fishing gear away and ran straight to the bank. The island was filled with pirates after all.
"Dobby, I'll be taking out my steel warship later. Considering that this world is mostly water so living on that would be a lot more comfortable. But I want you to check all the men in our crew before that. There could be one or two spies." Alexander instructed him.
"Maybe a mild compulsion charm will do. I'll check everything on our way."
...
Marineford,
It had been 2 years since Alexander had left the trio for training. But because they were previously trained by Alexander their training ended in just one year.
Then they took the exam and directly became commodore and were put under the command of different Vice Admirals.
Everything went normal for Tsuru and Sengoku but Garp had done something entirely different. The guy had fallen in love with a pirate woman he saved. Then they had a kid and the woman dashed after that, saying she wanted to explore the seas.
So now Garp had asked for a leave from work so he could settle his kid in his home country.
He had the small baby in his arms and walked down his ship on the Goa Kingdom port. He was surprised to see a huge ship that looked like it was made of iron. On it was also a marine flag. He had never seen anything like this even at the headquarters.
"Oye... Whose ship is this?" He asked.
The sailor quickly saluted and replied, "It is Admiral Universe's personal ship, sir."
"He's here too, ha? Haha... I will show him my boy, then." He walked into the Foosha Village.
He went straight to Partys Bar. Where he saw Alexander, "Old man,"
Alexander, who was simply enjoying his drink, looked back, "What you doing here, boy, and where did you kidnap this baby?"
"Wahahah... This is my own, old man. Look, we look the same." Garp held the baby near his face to let Alexander compare.
"Yeah, now you say it, you do look a bit similar. But your face looks a bit dumber."
"Hah... And yet I am the one who has a child. Women dig me, old man, unlike you," Gard boasted.
"When did I say I didn't have a wife and kids? I have the most beautiful wife and children." Alexander proudly claimed.
"Haha... Yeah, in your dreams..." But Garp saw the serious expression of Alexander.
"You weren't kidding?"
"Boy, if you are lucky, I'll introduce you to them someday. Now, hand me that baby." Alexander grabbed the child from Garp and started spoiling him.
"What's his name?" Alexander asked.
Garp puffed his chest out in pride, "Monkey D Dragon, future strongest Marine"
"I didn't know you held such love for the Celestial Dragons."
Garp made an ugly face, "Argh... love, them? Even their mothers probably don't love them. I also heard you killed one of them?"
"I didn't kill anyone, it was an accident. A boulder fell, he tripped and fell 6000 meters. As simple as that." Alexander clarified.
"Yeah, sure. I believe you." Garp said, sounding not even a bit convinced.
Alexander ignored the loudspeaker of a man and looked at the cute baby in his arms, "Boy, your name has Dragon in it, let's hope you grow up and become a dragon who burns those fake dragons. Stay healthy and safe."
Garp saw Alexander's shining hand caressing Dragon's head. "What's that?"
"My blessings, it will keep all disease away from him. By the way, where is his mother?" He asked.
"She wanted to explore the seas and left him in my care." Garp embarrassingly revealed.
It was Alexander's turn to laugh, "Ahahaha... I had heard of men running away but this is the first time hearing about the other way around. Ahahaha... I wish you luck, mama Garp."
He then waved his hand and lots of baby care items appeared. boxes and boxes filled with diapers, pacifiers, baby formula, powdered milk, and a nice cradle. "Here, these will be needed for the baby. Don't eat the baby formula yourself, Garp."
"Huh... who do you think I am, why would I steal my own son's food? Thank you for this stuff though." Garp gratefully said. He wasn't paid enough to buy so much stuff so this help was very much appreciated.
Alexander then started to leave.
Garp looked at his back, "Where are you going now, old man?"
"To the New World, I'm transferred to G-5. Bye-bye mama Garp." Alexander mocked and left.
