Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 236: Kind Old Admiral

They came to the Pirate ship, it wasn't that big, they were probably some low-level pirates. However, it was rare to see them so close to Marineford or Impel Down.

Alexander let the trio jump onto the ship and deal with it while he relaxed. For a while, many screams came from the pirate ship but after some time, they stopped. However, the trio didn't come out either. He got interested and went in to check up. As he got closer he started to hear some noise.

"Sengoku, that is my strawberry. I will eat it. Tsuru-chan, that one is also mine." Garp ran here and there trying to eat the food on the ship.

"Garp, you have gotten far too greedy. To teach you a lesson. We must eat this in front of you." Tsuru said.

"Tsuru-chan is right." Sengoku also agreed. They both proceeded to eat the fruits. But the next moment they both were coughing.

"Such nasty taste. Why did they have this thing here?" They complained.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

The three received a fist to their heads, "You fools. You just ate devil fruits. Now you can never swim."

"WHAAAAAT!" They exclaimed together. They looked at the remaining part of the fruit which had now started to turn gooey.

"Why the hell do these Pirates have two Devil fruits?" Sengoku questioned. He went to an unconscious pirate and woke him up with slaps.

"Why do you have two devil fruits?" He asked.

"W-we stole them from a Marine ship that was transporting them." The pirate muttered before falling back unconscious.

*Sigh* "It seems like it was your bad day. Let's go now. We'll have to see which devil fruit you two ate."

"Bwahahaha... That's what you get for eating my food." Garp laughed and soon received a beating from them.

Alexander brought them to his office on the ship and took out a catalog of the known Devil fruits. Marine had gathered this data over many centuries.

"Alright, let's see. Sengoku's looked like a strawberry and a mushroom. Here it is, Human-Human Fruit, Model: Buddha, is a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows user to transform into a giant, living, golden Buddha, gaining an extreme boost in strength to match the size. In this form, your limbs will grow out of proportion, giving you abnormally large arms and relatively tiny legs. It apparently has no weakness except the same water problem." Alexander read out loud.

Sengoku clenched his fist, "So, I will get stronger with this. If that's the case, I don't mind not being able to swim."

"Once you learn Geppo, one of Rokushiki, you will be able to walk in thin air so you don't have to worry about falling in water," Alexander told them, much to their relief.

"Admiral, what about my fruit?" Tsuru asked.

"Oh, yours looked like a ball right, ummm... Here you go, Wash-Wash Fruit. Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to literally 'wash and hang out to dry' people and objects as if they were clothes, making the user a Laundry Human. It will allow Tsuru-chan to make people and objects like clothes. It would seem to render her victims unable to fight back or move. There's also a note, villains who have been dried get their hearts a little bit cleaner as well; their evil hearts become fainter, so it's a dangerous ability against pirates. This has no weakness either."

Alexander looked at the two, "It seems you two are in luck. Your fruits are something that can greatly help you in your fights to come. Now you just need to learn how to use it."

"Let's try it out then." Tsuru excitedly interjected.

From there they went to the deck and brought the caught pirates for Tsuru.

She went ahead and turned one of them into clothes. Like they were just washed. Their evil also seemed to lessen a bit.

On the other hand, Alexander had to personally help check Sengoku's power. He turned into a giant buddha and felt a great power.

But Alexander didn't let him feel invincible as he defeated Sengoku within a single move.

"You three still got a lot to learn. Now forget these fruits and start practicing Haki. After this, I will introduce you to Rokushiki for a bit. Go, Go."

For the rest of their journey, Alexander heavily trained the three. He also taught them a bit about Rokushiki so they can have a small advantage in their training.

Alexander didn't even get down from his ship when they reached Marineford.

"Alright, you three. Give me a nice victory pose for the picture. I will frame this to embarrass you in the future." Alexander told them. Tsuru and Sengoku had gotten a bit emotional by then. Garp, however, was still smiling as always.

"Go and become stronger, kids. I wish you luck." Alexander wished.

The three surprisingly came to him and gave him a hug. "Thank you, Admiral, for your lessons."

"Thanks, old man," Garp added.

He just gave them another fist of love and let them go. "Go and make me proud."

...

After all that was done, he appeared back in Phixheim. It had been many days since he came in.

"Ahahaha..."

He heard giggles from the garden and saw Jenny and other girls playing tag.

They noticed him and came running to him. "Grandpaaa..."

Alexander picked little Jenny in his arms and looked at Amy and Gali, "Where is Rina?"

"Oh, uncle Brian took her with him for a business deal signing you told him about," Amy informed.

"Oh, then let's hope she doesn't eat up all the food in Amazon Lily." He loudly thought.

Alexander then went to his workshop and started making miniature malls that can expand with Pym particles. With this, they can set up their stores anywhere with ease.

He made about a hundred of them for now. His Androids will man these while Seraphs will manage. Brian will be the overall overseer of the whole operation. Alexander was just trying to help some poor kingdoms with this and also gather intel with it.

After setting up an assembly line for production, he returned to his ship. His stop was Sabaody archipelago. He wanted to buy some books from there and he was sure he'd find them there.

"Boss, it seems we're being followed." Dobby voiced.

"I know, Dobby. It's probably someone from headquarters. Although I don't think they are sent by the Marines or the World Government. Let's see if they do something stupid." Alexander shrugged.

Their ship was very fast and they reached the Sabaody archipelago in a few hours.

Sabaody Archipelago was the final island in Paradise, close to the Red Line. Though it is called an archipelago, it was actually a massive mangrove forest growing out from the middle of the ocean with each tree of the forest serving as an "island" on which people live. Since it is just a group of trees and not an island like those found in the Grand Line, it has no magnetic pull for which to affect a Log Pose(compass that works in grand line).

Due to the place being in close proximity to the part of the Red Line bordering the first half of the Grand Line and the New World, it was a highly visited rest stop for all sorts of travelers to prepare before entering the New World. Aside from its unique environment and it being a booming business hub, it was many times visited by the world nobles.

Alexander's ship went to Grove 60-69. It was a Marine operating area. Like any other place, the arrival of an Admiral was a big thing and the news swept the whole archipelago. All the pirates currently on the archipelago hid themselves or kept low.

"Let's go to Grove 30. There's a shopping mall. I'm pretty sure I'll find some books there." Alexander stated.

"Blue Fang, stay on the ship and watch out for any suspicious activity," Alexander instructed and left with Dobby.

Grove 30-39 was Sabaody Park, an amusement park with bubble-based attractions. It usually attracts many tourists.

He went to a random book shop and started to scoop up any book he felt was useful. About the geography, New World, supposed stories of the treasure Island, and finally, the working of a kingdom, a book for visiting princes and princesses.

However, Alexander was more interested in the treasure book. He quickly opened it and started reading while Dobby searched for a book of his liking.

He was surprised to see that an island was mentioned in the book. It was supposedly in the New World and finding it was impossible. It is said it was filled with lots of treasure left by a big pirate many years ago.

He was so engrossed in the book that he didn't realize how much time had passed, "Hey, reading without paying is banned here."

A young girl possibly 10 years old came and shouted. Alexander came out of his trance and looked at her.

"Ah, yes. I am going to buy these..."

But before he even got up the shop owner came who was probably the father of the child. His eyes fell out when he recognized Alexander.

"P-Please forgive Mimi... she's small, she didn't know who you are." The man started prostrating.

The little girl looked confused and fearfully looked at her father, not knowing what mistake she had made.

Alexander kindly went to the man and helped him get up, "She was doing her job. Reading without buying is truly a bad thing. But do teach her about the people she should not talk to. It is me that's why there is no problem. But imagine if it was some other Marine or World Noble."

Alexander's mention of World Noble made him start sweating, "Yes, Admiral. I-I will train her better."

Alexander then sat near the little girl and patted her, "You did good, Mimi. But don't be rude to people next time. Here, take this."

He handed her a lollipop, gave the money, and left. Leaving behind the father and daughter. Mimi happily ate her candy while her father sighed in relief.

~Thank god it was the kind old admiral.~ the man thought.
