As soon as her foot touched the railing of her warship, all of her crew ran up to her.

"Aren't there pirates at the cape? Why didn't you capture them?"

"Didn't Fleet Admiral Sengoku just warn you about betraying the Marines?"

"Slow down there everyone. I'll answer all of your questions just ask them one at a time..." she announced. "...but first of all, I have a question for all of you guys. Why are y'all so calm with what I just did?"

"Sakura-san, honestly you treat us a lot better than a lot of the other higher-ups. Even though I'm a Rear Admiral, which is just one rank below yours, some of the Vice-Admirals don't treat us with the same respect that you do," Hiroshi admitted. Heads started nodding in agreement. "So we all will trust your judgment!"

Sakura laughed. "I did not expect my crew to trust me this much already! Well, I'll tell you all a little secret, the captain of that pirate crew over there is an old friend of mine. I don't wanna ruin his adventure when he just entered the Grand Line! Since there are no problems, let's head to Shells Town now."

Garp's warship was docked at the port, intimidating the people on the island.

"So this is Shells Town..."

"Sakura-san, you're finally here!" Garp the Fist was already on the shore talking to the Marines on the island.

"Hello, gramps! I hope I'm not late, Sengoku-san's orders were very sudden."

"You're just on time! They're bringing him out right now."

The whispers from the Marines and the citizens were getting louder.

"Wow, two infamous Marines are standing in front of us."

"I never thought that such high ranking people would actually be on this island."

"I thought that I was only infamous in Marineford," Sakura whispered.

"Hehe, well, either way, you're still a Vice-Admiral," he yawned.

The whispers from the crowd died down almost immediately as former Marine Captain Morgan arrived at the port.

"Vice-Admiral Garp! Vice-Admiral Sakura! Thank you for coming all this way personally! We hereby deliver Morgan to you!" Silence. "Umm... Vice-Admiral Garp? Vice-Admiral Garp!"

"Quiet!" he yelled. The Commander looked frightened. Sakura let out a quick laugh. "I hear you. I've been up for five days now..."

"Thank you for your hard work, sir!"

"No, I've been going for a new doughnut-eating record..."

"Sir?" The poor Commander looked very much confused.

"But the lack of sleep has gotten me a bit drowsy at 842.." Garp-san took a bite out of his 843rd doughnut.

"Woah, Garp-san, 842 doughnuts?! You beat your old one of 827!" Sakura congratulated.

"This geezer's a joke. And you too." Morgan looked Sakura dead in the eye.
