Chapter 68: On the way to the Marine Headquater

Marine Headquarters.

Everyone was waiting for the execution of the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Portgas D. Ace.

The Marines have generated 100,000 elites to guard against this execution.

Shicibukai was also there waiting and guarding this execution.

The three admirals were also there.

All of them were there gathered to prevent Ace's rescue and wait for the Whitebeard Pirates.

The fleet admiral of the Navy, Sengoku walked to the platform to tell the news about Portgas D. Ace to the world. His expression was dignified, telling the lie that had been done by a single woman named Portgas D. Rouge. He told the world that his secret identity would shock the world.

"Your father...."

"Was The Pirate King, Gol D. Roger!!!" Sengoku said.

Everyone was shocked by this revelation.

Ace could only look down with regret.

Garp couldn't say anything and his sweat was dripping. He was full of guilt and regret looking at his grandson on the execution platform.

Haru was sitting near the steering wheels and slept on the hammock. He wasn't sure why there was a hammock but he didn't care.

"You can fly," Jimbei said.

"I can," Yuuki said.

"Why don't you escape?" Jimbei asked.

Crocodile also looked at him.

There weren't that many people in the front part of the ship.

Haru chose this place since he could get away from Ivankov and his friends. He looked at Jimbei and said, "I'm not Shiki, I can't fly that long."

Jimbei nodded in response.

"Oi, Haru, you're here," Luffy suddenly came and walked toward him.

"Oh, Luffy," Haru thought for a bit and decided to tell him, "That's right, come here, I've something to tell you."

"Hmm?" Luffy was curious.

Haru opened a zipper on his chin and he took a phone from there. He received this phone after he accepted the quest, "For you."

"This is?" Luffy wasn't sure what this small box was.

In the world of One Piece, everyone was communicating with each other using something known as a snail.

The phone was quite a strange thing in this world.

"I want you to join our group," Haru said.

Luffy hurriedly rejected it, "No, you should be the one who enters my pirate's crew." He didn't want to become someone's subordinates.

Haru rubbed his nose and knew that he was misunderstood, "You're wrong, it's something similar to a friend gathering."

"Friend gathering?" Luffy titled his head.

Haru nodded and started to explain about the group chat. He saw that no one was listening to their conversation since he mixed it with a joke in the middle.

Luffy looked at the phone and smiled, "This is interesting."

"Yeah, I want to invite you to join the fun," Haru said.

Luffy thought for a bit and took the phone, "What should I do?"

Haru told him to open the group chat and accepted the invitation.

Luffy did what he said and accepted the group chat invitation.

Haru saw the quest panel and saw that he had completed his quest.

[Congratulations for completing the quest!]

[You will receive your rewards after you come back to your world]

[Do you want to come back? Yes/No]

Luffy looked at him and asked, "You will come back to your world?"

Haru shook his head, "I'll help you to save your brother, I'll go home after that." He pressed the [No] option and received a notice from the group chat.

[The group chat function will come back after you've come back to your original world]

[71:59:40 before you have to come back]

Haru saw that he had three days limit before he had to come back. He could also come back anytime that he wanted but he needed to help him first.

"Hey, where is the group chat?" Luffy asked.

Haru shook his head and explained to him again. He also told him that he would keep this phone for a while until they had saved his brother.

Luffy nodded and didn't really mind.

Haru opened a zipper on his body and kept the phone there.

"Your power is weird," Luffy said.

"I don't want to hear that from you," Haru twitched his lips.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Ivankov suddenly came.

"He is inviting me to his friend's gathering," Luffy said.

"What? Zipper-Boy, you're very cold!! Why don't you invite me too?" Ivanko wanted to cry when he heard it.

Haru wanted to puke when he saw this scene. He thought for a bit, "That's right, can we take a picture together?"

"Hmm? Picture? Sure," Ivankov said.

"Why?" Jimbei asked.

"I want to show my little sister that I've met a lot of legendary people today," Haru said with a smile.

"You have a little sister?" Inazuma asked.

Haru nodded with a smile but he didn't show them her picture.

"Alright, this Captain Buggy will give you a chance to take a picture together," Buggy said with a proud expression.

Mr. 3 spat on him, saying, "Who wants your photo?"

"Sure," Haru said.

"Eh???" Mr. 3 was surprised.

"No, I want to take a picture with everyone since we've successfully come out from the Impel Down, is that okay?" Haru asked.

"Alright," Luffy smiled.

Ivankov nodded and made his head bigger, "Sure, you can take a picture with me."

Haru looked at Crocodile, Mr. 1 and Jimbei, "Is that okay with you?"

Three of them nodded and didn't say anything.

"Yeah, let's have a commemoration picture," Mr. 2 said while dancing.

Haru wasn't sure how but Crocodile helped him with his sand manipulation to take a picture with everyone.

"YAY!!!"

Everyone joined the picture together looking very happy, though, they didn't know that they would join the war soon.
