Chapter 47: Garp’s Attention.
As soon as the merchant ship docked, both groups noticed each other.
The other side was the Marines, the same Marines who had come to investigate them not long ago, which made the people on the merchant ship a bit uneasy.
Only Ryuen remained calm. He knew there was no way to avoid this. Not to mention Garp, his mysterious adjutant Bogart was also not an easy character. Being Garp's adjutant for so many years, he must be very capable. Even Aokiji was promoted from being Garp's adjutant.
"Captain Gulachi, when they come over, you handle the negotiations. The rest of us should avoid too much contact with them," Ryuen whispered to Captain Gulachi.
"I know, don't worry Ryuen, I'm a businessman, I'm good at this kind of thing," Captain Gulachi reassured Ryuen.
The other crew members were also confident. They had been in business for many years and understood human nature well. They had their own ways of dealing with straightforward Marines like Garp.
Ryuen slapped his forehead, almost forgetting that if Captain Gulachi didn't have some skills, he would have been eaten alive by those outside long ago. So he didn't say more and went to play with Nami and the other girls.
They were still kids, so they naturally needed to be lively and cute.
The surging waves were still hitting the shore, making it impossible to set sail again anytime soon. So everyone started setting up camp on the island.
After sailing for most of the day, everyone hadn't eaten much, so the cook began preparing a sumptuous meal.
While everyone was enjoying the food, Garp and his adjutant Bogart swaggered over, looking like they wanted to join the meal!
