While trying to awaken Ace, Leo replied, "No, why would we have it? We are just a bounty hunter group."

Hearing this a huge smile appears on Garp's face as he says, "Good, then you all will join the Marines."

Leo, who was trying to wake up Ace, stopped after hearing his words and calmly replied. "While I appreciate that you offered this job to us, I can't accept it. I am happy with my current work, and I am sure my crew will say the same."

"Nonsense, how can bounty hunting be as good as being a respectful Marine?" Garp said while dismissively waving his hand.

As Leo was about to reply, a message from Dan appeared on his crew card saying, "Captain, quickly return to the ship with Ace as we have to leave this island immediately. The Marine Captain Smoker is after Zoro."

'What the fuck, why is Smoker chasing Zoro? It seems unlikely that he would do something to make Smoker chase him, but what if he did that? No, Zoro won't do that,' Leo thought while putting Ace on his shoulder before saying, "I'm sorry, but it's urgent, so goodbye."

"What do you mean, brat?" Garp asked in confusion.

But Leo didn't reply as the lighting started to cover his entire body. He disappeared at a blinding speed for almost everyone except Garp, who could easily see him running toward the dock.

"Hahaha, now I want to get that kid to join the Marines even more," Garp said before he also began to walk toward the dock at a casual pace.

"You will not escape, pirate scum," Smoker said in an enraged tone as he continued to attack Zoro with his jitte.

Zoro didn't reply to his taunt as he continued to block his attacks before counterattacking him with his sword slashes.

But they were useless as all Zoro's attacks passed through his body without harming him.

It has been a few minutes since both Zoro and Smoker started fighting each other, with Smoker using his jitte and Logia's power to fight Zoro on equal ground.

'Damn it, the stupid Logia,' Zoro thought as he blocked his attack before jumping back and releasing a few meters long flying slash in front of him.

'Damn, a flying slash. He is also a master swordsman.' Smoker thought as he quickly flew out of the attack radius and dodged it by turning his lower body into smoke.

Smoker was already shocked before by his strength which was almost equal to a commando of HQ in their previous exchange. Still, he was once again surprised by his mastery of the sword.

"Why is a swordmaster like you kidnapping a simple marine recruit?" Smoker asked as his colorless smoke started to cover the whole area.

"Well, she is my master's daughter and my childhood friend who ran away from home and now has lost her memories," Zoro replied confidently.

'Dan would have already reached the ship and notified others, so I just need a stalk for a few more minutes, then I could make a run to the ship,' Zoro thought as he gazed at Smoker warily.

Smoker was quite surprised after hearing this, as he knew Tashigi very well. He was planning to take her as his protege, so of course he knew she had lost all her childhood memories.

But that doesn't mean that he would accept the words of a kidnapper that she is his childhood friend.

"And what proof do you have that she is your master's daughter?" Smoker asked as the area was almost covered in smoke. At the same time, Zoro was blissfully unaware that he had already lost the fight.

Zoro was stumbling at this question, as he couldn't tell Smoker how he found out about it without him being a crew member.

'And there is no way in hell that I could convince him to join the crew, or there is a way,' Zoro thought as a devilish idea came to his mind.

'I am not sure if it would work, but it's worth a shot, right?' Zoro thought before taking out a crew card for a subordinate crew member and showing it to him.

"Are you sure you want to know?" Zoro asked before, a solemn expression on his face for a few seconds as the air felt different to him from before.

'what could it be? Wait, he is the user of smoke smoke fruit, which means he can only create different types of smoke, right?' Zoro thought as he got prepared for his attack.

Smoke was startled by his change of expression for a moment before he replied, "Yes, I am sure, and if you can show me that she is really your childhood friend, then I will let her travel with you."

'Yes, I will do all this after I have captured you,' Smoker thought while mentally commanding all the colorless smoke in the area to rush toward Zoro. He increased the smoke density to create a cage to capture him.

But since Zoro was already expecting the attack from him, he quickly counterattacked using the new attack he created to deal with this type of enemy.

"Two sword styles: Hawk Wave!" Zoro muttered as he swung both of his swords together, creating a powerful gust of wind in all directions and blowing away all the smoke in the area.

Smoker was unprepared for this kind of attack and was quickly sent flying by the strong winds, leaving only his weapon behind.

As the winds calm down, Zoro looks at the destruction caused by his attack on the surroundings.

Just then, Leo appeared near him with a now-conscious Ace.

"Oh damn! That's some sick damage you caused here, Zoro," Leo said while chucking, clearly impressed by the aftermath of his attack.

"I know, right?" Zoro said while picking up Smoker's jitte and using Observe on it.

"Damn, it has a seastone coating on its tip. If I had known this, I could have ended the fight way early," Zoro said before putting it in his storage.

"Don't you guys think we should get out of this island as quickly as possible?" Ace asked urgently, knowing his grandpa would not let him go that easily.

"Yeah, let's get out of..."

Pausing in mid-sentence, Leo suddenly looked in that direction as his face paled slightly. He urgently said, "Ace, take Zoro with you, get to the ship, and set sail immediately. I will try to hold him off as much as I can."

Leo turns toward Ace and says, "Your grandpa is here, and he looks super pissed."

A grave look appears on Ace's face as he grabs Zoro's arm and starts running toward the ship at full speed.

They need to leave this island as soon as possible. As for Leo, they are not worried as he already has a way to escape.

.

A few moments later, Garp appeared at that place with a severe look on his face. At the same time, Smoker slowly walked behind him without any injuries, showing that Zoro's attack could only send him flying without doing any damage to him.

"Where is Ace and that pirate who captured that marine soldier, brat?" With a severe expression on his face, Garp asked him that question.
