After Bogard answered him, Ars added.
"And we want nothing from those 2, but we saw them in the middle of the forest at night and got curious."
Bogard nodded and looked at Garp who was still contemplating how to make Olivia stop attacking him.
Bogard looked back at Ars.
"Is there any way to stop her? I was hoping that she would be tired after a few swings but she seems to be in good shape…"
Ars nodded and replied.
"In our kingdom it's normal for almost everyone to train their body. And no, she won't stop for a while."
Bogard nodded and looked at Garp who was trying to figure out a way to calm Olivia down without hurting her, but clearly hadn't discovered a way.
"In other words, you are visiting the island?"
Ars nodded.
"We came to buy a few items and used the opportunity to go on a date and explore the island."
Ace and Luffy were trying to escape again but Bogard stopped them.
Ars looked at them struggling and laughed.
"Let us go!"
Bogard suddenly had an idea, maybe if Ace and Luffy fought Ars, the lady would turn his attention to him and leave Garp alone.
"Why don't you spar with these 2, since you also seem to be decently strong."
Bogard was just deducting from the fact Ars commented that almost everyone trained their bodies, that Ars was strong too.
Ars thought about it and nodded that it would be a good way to pass time and he could collect samples from them.
"Don't decide for us!"
Ace was not exactly pleased with the situation but he had no choice and took on a fighting posture.
Ars smiled and lifted a finger.
"Don't worry, I will only use a finger to attack. You can come whatever you like!"
Ace felt he was being underestimated, so he got mad and quickly rushed to attack Ars.
Ars just side stepped his punch and using just his finger pulled his shorts down.
A surprised Ace quickly tried to pick them up just to be attacked with a flick to his forehead. Ace got sent flying and when he landed he started clutching his head in pain. He quickly complained.
"How can a finger flick hurt so much!? And that was so dirty, who the hell pulls his adversary's shorts down??"
Bogard was also shocked, he didn't realize until now but Ars strength was absurdly abnormal… Ace had been sent flying over 10 meters with only a finger flick that didn't even make contact…
Ars laughed out loud and approached Ace to extend his hand.
"I guess you give up?"
Ace didn't want to surrender but he knew he had no chances of victory so he begrudgingly surrendered, by nodding his head.
Next was Luffy who was feeling confident. Ars smiled and announced.
"Same rules."
Luffy nodded, laughed and quickly attacked using his fists along his akuma no mi.
"Gomu gomu no pistol!"
Ars laughed, dodged and grabbed Luffy's arm and pulled. Luffy came flying and just as he was about to reach Ars, he tried to use his other hand to punch. Ars could see Luffy punch coming easily, so he dodged and the moment Luffy landed he got sent flying by a ranged head flick.
And like Ace before him, when he landed he started clutching his head in pain.
"How can you hurt me? I'm made of rubber… And you cheated, you grabbed my arm!"
Bogard realized what Ars did. Ars had just used haki on the air in the flick to Luffy's forehead. Until now he thought no matter how strong Ars was, he would be stronger since he knew Haki and he had assumed Ars didn't due to his young appearance, and he himself wasn't that out of shape.
Bogard suddenly saw a silhouette approaching, it was Olivia. But before he could say anything she smashed her fist on Ars head.
"And why are you bullying them?"
Ars moved his hands up in a surrendering motion.
"I'm innocent! We were just sparring while we waited for you to take your anger out on the old man…"
Ars quickly pointed at Bogard, and sold him out.
"It was his idea!"
She was a bit calmer but she still looked angrily at Bogard, who nodded and quickly added.
"I thought it was a good experience for them, to fight an opponent slightly stronger than them… But I clearly miscalculated Ars' strength."
Garp also arrived shortly after and looked at Ars.
"You have quite a fierce wife!"
Ars looked at Olivia gently and inquired about her mood.
"Are you feeling better now?"
She sighed and nodded. But then she added.
"Why don't you flick that tree over there, so everyone here understands why I said you were bullying them."
Ars laughed a bit, and did as requested. The moment his flick made contact with the tree, the part of the tree that suffered the hit exploded into dust.
Everyone there with the exception of Ars and Olivia opened their mouths until they could fit the rest of the tree.
"Don't you want to come work for the marines, we could use someone like you!"
Garp was pretty direct, but Ars was just as direct with his answer.
"Sorry but not interested."
Garp then looked at Olivia.
"How about you? You would also be a good marine."
Olivia looked at Garp and sighed before looking at Bogard.
"Is he always like this?"
"Yes, I'm afraid so, when he meets someone strong he always invites them."
Olivia looked back at Garp and with a very annoyed face.
"My hometown got slaughtered not by pirates but by marines… So can you guess what my answer is?"
Garp looked sad, even a bit ashamed when he heard that, but then he boldly declared.
"So your answer is yes, so you can try to change the marines from the inside!"
Olivia was shocked by how self-centered Garp was.
"MY ANSWERS IS NO!"
Luffy looked at Olivia and asked with curiosity and full of enthusiasm.
"Are you a pirate?"
Olivia froze for a bit but she realized that her dislike for the marines could be seen that way.
"No, I'm just a traveler that happens to dislike marines for the previously mentioned reasons."
Luffy looked disappointed before boldly declaring.
"I'm Luffy and one day I will be the king of the pirates, so do you want to join my crew?"
Olivia was shocked and then looked at Garp who was fuming.
Garp quickly delivered his fist of love.
"You're gonna be a strong marine, not a pirate!"
Ars laughed and rejected calmly.
"Sorry, I'm too busy ruling my kingdom, so I don't really have time to be a pirate."
Other than Olivia everyone was shocked. Garp was so shocked that he forgot that he was disciplining Luffy.
Bogard looked at Olivia and confirmed something.
"That would mean that you are a queen and our vice-admiral Garp was being attacked by a royalty… I guess if you live long enough you do see some unexpected things."
Both Garp and Bogard got a bit stiff, neither of them enjoyed having to interact with nobles… Much less Royalty.
Ars just laughed at their strange faces and dismissed the situation.
"You don't need to worry. We aren't affiliated with the world government so you don't need to change the way you interact with us… Unless you are in our kingdom… But we ain't there so you don't need to mind it."
They relaxed and we talked a bit more, finally Ars looked at Luffy and Ace.
"We're gonna borrow your tree house to sleep if you don't mind."
Ace sighed and replied.
"Fine! But don't break stuff…"
Ars smiled and nodded.
Ars and Olivia left for the treehouse, where Ars took out 2 blankets from his pocket dimension. He put one on the floor and sat on it with his back against the trunk of the tree. Olivia sat in front of him and put her back against his chest and finally Ars put the other blanket over them.
Before going to sleep Ars asked.
"How was meeting Garp?"
She thought about it, and replied a bit conflicted.
"He is a dumb old man… An idiot… But he is also a good man."
He kissed her goodnight and they both went to sleep.
The next morning Ars transformed back in his draconic form and they left for loguetown.
It didn't take too long for them to arrive there. Once they arrived Ars quickly moved towards a navigation store and started buying eternal poses for all the different locations that were available.
When they exited the shop they met a man smoking 2 cigars at the same time and following him there was a young female almost identical to Kuina…
Olivia was shocked and asked.
"Kuina!? What are you dining over here?
The young female was also confused.
"I think you are confusing me with someone. I'm Tashigi."
Olivia looked at Ars who nodded at her, then back at Tashigi.
"So similar… Do you have a lost sister?"
Tashigi, who was still confused by this whole situation, replied a bit strangely.
"Huh? I don't remember anyone ever mentioning anyone like that!"
"Sorry if it made you uncomfortable, it's just… You look so alike."
Ars smiled and then looked at Olivia.
"We already got what we came for, we can leave when you are ready."
She nodded at him before looking back at Tashigi.
"Well it was a pleasure to meet you but I have to go."
Ars and Olivia left and once they were outside the streets, in a place with no one else Ars transformed and they retook their trip.
While they were flying they spotted a small ship being attacked by pirates and decided to lend a hand.
They quickly dispatched the wannabe pirates and picked up the small damaged ship.
Ars took the ship to a nearby island, when they arrived he let the boat on the beach gently.
Seeing that the person inside was not coming out Ars decided to go in instead. But suddenly he heard.
"Who are you 2?"
Olivia, listening to the female voice, decided that she should be the one doing the talking.
"I'm Olivia and this guy here is Ars, we mean you no harm."
"This is my own ship and I will not be harassed! I have nothing valuable on me."
Ars could see a bit of a face starting to peek out of the ship. The head was adorned with orange short hair.
Ars used the link between him and Olivia to warn her.
'This girl is one of Bell-Mere's children, the youngest one to be precise. So make sure you don't say anything strange.'
'This girl is?'
'Hum!'
Ars looked at the ship and commented.
"Young lady, just come out already, if I wanted the treasure you stole I would just break in and take it."
Olivia was about to complain but suddenly the girl came out.
"You promise, you won't take my money?"
"Yes, I promise!"
After Ars promised not to take her money she finally came out.
Olivia quickly moved towards the girl and started checking her injuries. The girl recoiled a bit but before she could get away, Olivia was already checking her closely, while she was inspecting her Olivia asked, trying to calm the girl down.
"What's your name, young lady?"
"Cassandra… And you are not that much older than me…"
Olivia looked at her and said.
"Don't lie to me!"
The girl flinched then corrected herself.
"Nami…"
Ars didn't realize it but apparently his wives did. Using the link they could share their senses with each other, so now Olivia was sharing her senses with Bell-mere.
And Ars could feel Bell-mere emotions going wild.
Olivia, looked at Nami and quickly looked at Ars.
"She has quite a few wounds, we should take her to a doctor to check on her."
Ars nodded and looked at the reluctant Nami and said.
"Don't worry we will pay the doctor for you."
She looked at him and quickly shook her head.
"It's not that. My small boat is pretty damaged. It would be nice if you could carry it."
Ars just rolled his eyes but Olivia agreed with her request. Ars couldn't help but complain.
"You know that, the small boat you… Own… Is not in sailing condition anymore, you're gonna need to get a new one anyway, so might as well leave it here…"
She was hesitant but nodded. She actually didn't give a damn about the boat, but she didn't want to show how much she managed to steal this trip, it had been a good trip and she managed to get around 6 million… Her fear was Ars going back on his word once he realized it was a good amount.
Ars looked at her, and could pretty much guess what was the problem… This greedy little cat burglar was afraid he would go back on his word…
