Marine Headquarters, Marineford, in the office of the Fleet Admiral.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku was frowning as he looked at the report documents in his hand. Garp, as always, was lying on the sofa, munching on rice crackers.
From time to time, he would look up at Sengoku, who was frowning, and say, "Don't look at it. That kid won't die so easily."
"If he was really going to die, that kid wouldn't be so crazy and unrestrained."
Listening to Garp's words, Sengoku sighed heavily and put down the documents in his hand and said, "Garp, you're still the same as always, not taking serious matters to heart at all."
"Don't forget that Laxus and Akainu still have a bet. If he misses the time, it won't only be a loss for our navy, but it will also become difficult for that kid to enter the navy's recruit training camp."
Speaking of this, Sengoku sighed and said, "There's also that girl who's staying on the Sabaody Archipelago, refusing our recall again and again."
"I heard that recently on the Sabaody Archipelago, because Kaido of the Beasts suffered a loss, he couldn't find Laxus in the end and instead vented his anger on the students who were learning on the ship."
"After Zephyr learned about this, he immediately contacted me and asked me to help him take care of his students..."
"Hey hey, Garp, can you stop thinking about eating all the time? Isn't your grandson also training with Laxus? Aren't you worried?"
Sengoku couldn't accept Garp's gluttonous appearance.
It could be said that they were the best of friends and also the greatest of enemies.
Just the grudge of the stolen rice crackers was enough for them to love and kill each other.
Unfortunately, Sengoku didn't have a sure chance of winning in a one-on-one fight.
The only thing he could do was stare blankly and let the so-called food grudge be left unsettled.
"Sengoku, what's there to worry about?" Garp put the last rice cracker in his mouth, then patted the dust off his body, and secretly reached his hand towards the cabinet.
However, the moment he touched the counter, Garp felt a murderous gaze and quickly coughed and withdrew his hand and said, "Sengoku, don't worry so much. I'm not worried about not having descendants either. If those guys are really in danger, I think that guy will lose his composure and run out at the first moment."
"If I didn't guess wrong, the reason why Laxus is unwilling to come out is definitely to let Ain and the others train well on their own. If we rashly interfere now, we might ruin his plan."
"What if it delays my grandson from becoming stronger? What should we do then?"
Watching Garp, who was speaking logically, Sengoku fell silent at once.
At least, the strange and ever-changing training plan that Laxus had proposed had completely exceeded their common sense.
Just as Garp had said, if the reason why Laxus hadn't appeared for a long time this time was because he was training them to be independent, if they rashly interfered and ruined Laxus's original intention, this wasn't something that they wanted to see either.
"Alright, what you need to care about now, Sengoku, is the changes on the sea during this time. Not long ago, I seemed to have heard that that trash at Enies Lobby did something big..." Garp hesitated slightly and changed the topic.
"The sea right now is unpredictable, especially with the emergence of the crazy Skeletal Great Demon. As the Fleet Admiral, Sengoku, you need to be even more calm, just like me. Only by always maintaining the identity of an outsider can you have a panoramic view of the overall situation."
The slightly prolonged voice echoed in the office.
Watching Garp, who had turned on the mouth cannon mode at once, Sengoku rolled his eyes helplessly and was just about to say something.
A hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the tightly closed door.
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open in response.
Watching Onigumo, who had rushed in quickly, Sengoku frowned and said, "Vice Admiral Onigumo, didn't I assign you to be responsible for tracking matters related to Laxus? Why did you suddenly barge in?"
"Fl...Fleet Admiral Sengoku...B...Bad news!" Onigumo gasped urgently a few times and said urgently.
"Onigumo, what exactly happened!" Garp exploded at once, stood up suddenly, and roared angrily, "Is it that bastard Kaido of the Beasts? He doesn't even want his last bit of face and dares to attack my grandson? I'm going to f**k his mother!"
Watching the person, who was not a person before and after...
No!
It should be said that the person, who had been completely unconcerned a moment ago,
had completely become uneasy right now as he watched Onigumo rush back. Sengoku rolled his eyes and said, "Garp, I think you're the one who doesn't want his face anymore. Don't stop Onigumo. Let him explain clearly."
Watching Garp, who was almost going berserk and was chasing after Kaido all over the sea, Onigumo couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. After slightly recovering, he said, "Ten minutes ago, I received intelligence that...that No. 3 Island of the Sabaody Archipelago had an accident."
"Sabaody Archipelago?" Sengoku was stunned for a moment and said, "Zephyr, doesn't he have a top student called Ain who's on the Sabaody Archipelago?"
"Did the Beast Pirates attack her?"
In Sengoku's eyes, if Luffy was bullied by the Beast Pirates, Garp, as a navy hero, would go berserk.
Then if Ain was bullied, Zephyr's actions would probably be no exception either.
What's more, compared to Garp, Zephyr's family had been killed by pirates.
If he wasn't careful, the degree of Zephyr's berserk state would probably be even fiercer than Garp's.
"N...No!" Onigumo explained hastily, "It's...It's West Spad, the confidant executive under the command of Jack the Drought, who's one of the Three Disasters of the Beast Pirates, who was killed in public in a tavern on No. 3 Island of the Sabaody Archipelago."
"This is the Den Den Mushi surveillance footage of the incident. It seems that Cavendish of the White Horse, who's the super rookie from the West Blue during this time and the captain of the Handsome Pirates with a bounty of 98 million, was also involved!"
What?
Sengoku and Garp were stunned at once.
Right now, on this sea, whether it was the navy or the pirates, they all wished they could hide from Kaido of the Beasts, who had suffered a loss in silence and was holding a bellyful of anger, fearing that his fire would be vented on them.
Even the Marine Headquarters was turning a blind eye to the pursuit bounty order that Kaido of the Beasts had issued.
They had only issued a recall order to bring Ain and the others back to the Marine Headquarters for protection.
It could be said that this was also the consensus that their navy and Kaido of the Beasts, who was one of the Four Emperors, had reached in order to avoid a direct conflict.
However, right now, someone had suddenly run out and told them that someone wasn't afraid of death!
They had poked the dragon's ass at this critical moment!
Once Kaido of the Beasts, who had fire burning in his heart, found out, he would probably definitely become the target of his rage.
It was simply a bad omen.
At the thought of this, both Garp and Sengoku couldn't wait and hurriedly turned on the surveillance Den Den Mushi.
They desperately wanted to know which person was daring enough to poke the dragon's at this time.
