One Punch of Justice

Chapter 5: Being a Marine!

Of course!

Ace snorted without turning his head. Maybe hes a hundred times more powerful than you, stinky old man!

Surprisingly, Garp didnt refute.

If I want to kill a hundred people with only one punch, I can do it too he said thoughtfully, rubbing his chin. Its so easy, like squashing a mosquito But judging from your description, the pirates death isnt like the result of the Haoshoku Haki. Is he a Devil Fruit user, or Huh, whatever he is!

After finishing the last piece of Senbei, Garp suddenly stood up and looked towards the bandits house.

Hes on the second floor, right? Ill go and see what that fellow is capable of. Heroic activities, justice I suddenly like this kid.

He said before swaying into the house and bursting into a breathtaking spirit, transforming from a bad old man to a Marine hero in an instant.

Ace and Sabo gazed in amazement at Garps back, speechless for a moment.

After a while, Sabo broke the silence. Ace, your grandfather is amazing! Do you think he could defeat that bald man?

Before Ace could respond, little Luffy, standing next to him, piped up. Grandpa will definitely win!

Ace chuckled, What do you know, kid?

Ace glanced at Luffy and frowned disapprovingly. That bald sea monster is not to be underestimated. The old man is definitely not a match for that beast.

Before he could finish his sentence, a deafening roar erupted from the house as Garp bellowed, The bald boy inside! Come out to the old man!

The ground shook violently, causing the three kids to struggle to keep their balance. The roar echoed through the air, causing the forest to erupt in chaos as countless beasts and venomous snakes scattered in fear.

Meanwhile, Saitama, who was reading a newspaper in his room, heard the commotion and winced at the harsh sound. He held his ears and opened the door to find an old man brimming with energy and courage. The two men locked eyes for a few seconds before Saitama greeted Garp warmly.

Hey there, sir! You seem full of spirit, Saitama remarked, hesitatingly. But, Im afraid Im already subscribed to a newspaper

Garp was taken aback and quickly responded, waving his hand. Oh no, no, Im not selling newspapers!

Saitama pondered for a moment and then spoke again. Hmm Im not interested in insurance either.

Im not trying to sell you anything! Garp exclaimed, waving his hand in frustration.

But its been said that my grandson has been taken care of by you, stinky boy! Ive come here to fight for him. How about you and I go outside and settle this? I want to see if youre truly worthy of being called a monster by that idiot Ace!

Saitama simply replied, Not interested, and promptly closed the door in Garps face.

Fuming with anger, Garp kicked the door and pointed at Saitama, who was calmly reading a newspaper on the floor. You, stinky boy! You

Before he could finish his sentence, Saitama punched Garp into the sky with incredible speed.

Youll have to pay for the door!! he called out after him.

Garps body crashed through the roof and landed on the ground in a smooth arc, where three kids rushed over to him.

Luffy poked Garp carefully and asked, Hey, Grandpa, are you alright?

How could he be alright? That punch was so fast that even Garp couldnt react to it. Despite his strong body, he still felt the pain. However, as a Marine hero and a grandfather, he couldnt be humiliated in front of his grandson.

At that moment, Garps face was swollen.

As he lifted his head from the ground, he laughed and wiped the blood from his nose. This minor injury is no problem at all. Ace, youre right. That guy has some serious strength. Hahaha

Ace shook his head in disbelief. Its too obvious, you stinky old man

But that only makes me admire him more, Garp replied, ignoring Aces comment.

He turned to Ace, Luffy, and Sabo with a solemn expression. That man, Saitama, has the potential to become a powerful Marine, perhaps even an Admiral. You three must strive to become the strongest Marines yourselves. Understand?

No way!

The three young boys exclaimed in unison, each one declaring confidently, Im going to become the Pirate King!

Those damn brats! Take my Fist of Love!!! Garp roared in anger as he struck each child in turn.

After hitting the children, Garp rubbed his aching chin and stormed into the house.

Garp spotted Saitama on the second floor holding a hammer and nail, attempting to fix the damaged door.

Upon noticing Garps arrival, Saitama looked wary and quickly locked the door, asking, What brings you here again?

I didnt come here to fight you this time, Garp replied as he sat down in the hallway.

He faced Saitama and said, I want to talk to you about something important, Saitama. Ace told me that youre not from this world, and that you possess not only immense power but also a strong sense of justice. Ive also heard that youve cleaned up the pirates on Garbage Hill. Is that true?

So?! Saitama said nonchalantly, as he cleaned his nose with one finger.

Garp tried to maintain his composure and focused on talking to Saitama, despite his irresponsible behavior of staring at his own mucus.

I want to discuss the possibility of you joining the Marines, Garp said firmly.

Marines? Saitama was surprised and turned his head to the side.

He pondered for a moment and then said, I have considered it before, but being a Marine means obeying the orders of your superiors. As a hero, Im driven by my own interests and I cant accept being subordinate to anyone.

Thats not a problem,

Garp placed his hands on his chest and spoke earnestly, You can stay with me without worrying about orders or hierarchies. Youll have the freedom to make your own decisions and act according to your own judgment. Moreover, Ill provide you with a generous salary and bonuses every month.

Saitamas attention had been drifting, but when he heard about the salary and bonuses, his eyes sparked with excitement. Thats awesome! he exclaimed, and the deal was sealed.

Without hesitation, Saitama strode forward and sat down opposite Garp. He gripped Garps hand firmly and said, Im thrilled to join the Marines. Please guide me in the future, Old Sensei!

-Ugh!-

Garp was taken aback by Saitamas response.

He had expected it to be a difficult task to persuade someone with such immense power. In this era, numerous powerful individuals acted recklessly, causing chaos and exploiting the vulnerable. Only a select few heroes fought in the shadows to protect civilians.

To his surprise, Saitama readily agreed to join the Marines, much to Garps amusement.

Hey Old Sensei, OLD SENSEI, its not polite to shout Saitama protested.

Garp chuckled and looked at Saitamas bald head. Just call me Garp, he said.

In three days, a warship will arrive at Foosha Village to pick me up. You will come with me, and we will use our sense of justice to strike fear into the hearts of the worlds villains. Hahaha!
