They had long since put aside their prejudice against Garp's identity as a member of the D clan.
"Garp, just rest assured, the five Gorosei definitely won't do anything to you." Sengoku also spoke up.
"That's right, Garp, if they really had prejudice against your identity as a member of the D clan, they wouldn't have let you join the Navy in the first place, let alone have you become one of the Navy's Four Stars." Zephyr said.
The value of the Navy's Four Stars was extremely high.
After all, the Navy's Four Stars represented the most shining new stars of their Navy in the future.
Since the five Gorosei had recognized Garp as one of the Navy's Four Stars, then from that moment on.
They hadn't really treated Garp as an outsider.
"No..... the thing I want to say isn't this." Garp shook his head slightly.
"Oh? Then what do you want to say, Garp?" Kong asked, pursuing the matter.
Garp raised his head slightly, looked directly at Kong's gaze, and said solemnly.
"I.... refuse to become a Navy Admiral!"
"What did you say?"
Kong's pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at Garp with some disbelief.
He had to know that the position of Navy Admiral was the highest position that countless Navy powerhouses dreamed of!
This was a symbol of extremely high honor!
If you randomly asked a Navy soldier in the entire Navy Headquarters.
Their dream would definitely be to become a Navy Admiral!
But..... the position of Admiral that was placed before Garp today, had actually been rejected by him???
"Garp, were you beaten silly in God Valley, why would you refuse to be promoted to Navy Admiral?" Sengoku also asked with a puzzled expression.
"If you want to be free and unfettered, you don't need such a high position." Garp smiled slightly.
Once Garp was promoted to Admiral, then he would need to directly serve the Celestial Dragons.
As a member of the D clan, although Garp didn't have any hostility towards the Celestial Dragons.
His heart didn't have much goodwill towards the Celestial Dragons!
Moreover, once he was promoted to Admiral, there would be too many troublesome things.
This wasn't what Garp wanted to see.
"Garp, you idiot, what free and unfettered? With your strength, it would be too much of a pity if you didn't become an Admiral!" Sengoku cursed.
"Hahaha.... compared to becoming an Admiral, I think that freedom is the most important thing." Garp scratched his head and laughed loudly.
Kong stared directly at Garp, and said after being silent for a few seconds.
"Have you really thought about it, Garp? Are you sure you want to refuse to be promoted to Admiral?"
"Yes." Garp nodded without the slightest hesitation.
"I understand, I will report this message to the World Government, but..... although you refuse to be promoted to Admiral, you can still go to the Holy Land Mary Geoise to receive training."
"Understood." Garp said.
Kong didn't ask too much about the reason why Garp had refused, and directly left after leaving these words.
The Lunarian Tribe, Crowned With the Title of God
A period of time later.
As the war of God Valley came to an end.
The Navy also announced the destruction of the Rocks Pirates to the entire world!!!
And the Navy also placed the credit for killing Rocks on Garp.
Because they wanted to promote a hero, a hero who had killed Rocks, and was enough to deter the pirates of the world!
And Garp, like in the original work, leaped to become a hero of the Navy Headquarters!
Becoming an existence in the New World that made countless pirates tremble in fear.
Of course.....
As the Rocks Pirates were destroyed.
Many pirate crews also rose rapidly on this sea.
Moreover, the strength of these pirate crews was not weak.
The reason why they hadn't made any moves during the Rocks Pirates era.
Was because the existence of the Rocks Pirates was at its zenith, and not many pirate crews.
Dared to show their heads and attract attention during that period.
But now, the Rocks Pirates had been destroyed, and these pirate crews had also emerged one after another.
And began to advance into the New World.
At this time, on a certain island in the New World.
More than a dozen pirate warships were docked here, the configuration of the warships wasn't low, whether it was the structure of the ships, or the quality of the cannons, they were all excellent.
Moreover.... the number of people on each warship was quite large.
And in the center of the island.
There was a giant building, the building was luxurious and magnificent, standing tall in the center position.
At this time, Shiki was sitting on the throne in the very center of the great hall.
"Tap, tap, tap!!!"
At this time, a series of footsteps came from outside the great hall.
Only to see a few pirates with not low bounties in the New World walking in.
"Captain Shiki, more than a dozen warships and personnel have all been prepared," one of the pirates said respectfully.
This group of pirates, were exactly the subordinates that Shiki had secretly recruited when he was an executive of the Rocks Pirates.
When Rocks was alive, Shiki didn't dare to let Rocks know of their existence at all.
But now, Rocks had died, and Shiki didn't need to suppress his ambitions anymore.
Quickly gathering all of the personnel and ships that he had secretly recruited since this period of time!
"Jie hahaha.... Rocks has died, this sea already belongs to me!" Shiki stood up and laughed wildly.
"That's right, in the New World now, Captain Shiki is the strongest existence!"
"With Captain Shiki around, we will definitely become sea overlords in the future!"
"We are willing to swear our allegiance to Captain Shiki!"
The few pirates under the great hall said, flattering him.
"Set off immediately, and snatch all of Rocks' territory!" Shiki ordered with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
He had to know that the Rocks Pirates, as the strongest pirate crew in the New World in the past.
Had occupied countless territories in the New World.
Now, the Rocks Pirates had disbanded, and Rocks had died.
And the territories that Rocks had occupied in the past, now belonged to no one.
The first goal of Shiki creating the Flying Pirates was those territories!
"Yes, Captain Shiki!"
......
On the other side, Punk Hazard research base.
This place was exactly where the World Government was used for scientific research.
In the center of the island, there was a giant laboratory.
And in a certain place in the laboratory.
There was a giant prison cell.
The man in the prison cell wasn't anyone else, but was exactly Kaido, an executive of the former Rocks Pirates!!!
At this time, he was being tied up with ropes, and was imprisoned in the cage.
And outside the prison cell, a few men wearing scientific unit experimental clothing were staring at Kaido and discussing one another.
"I really didn't expect that Kaido, who was imprisoned in the laboratory by us for research back then, is now.... a famous executive of the Rocks Pirates, and even left God Valley alive!"
"But in the end, wasn't he captured by the people of the World Government and brought over for us to research."
"I heard that this guy not only has a special physique, and also seems to have eaten a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, it seems that the secrets on this guy's body are enough for us to research for a while."
Kaido had been the strongest soldier of the Vodka Kingdom when he was young.
And had ultimately suffered the betrayal of the country, who wanted to sell him to the Navy.
And Kaido had also escaped at that time.
However.... after escaping.
Kaido had still been captured by the World Government again and again, and had been experimented on.
Until Kaido had joined the Rocks Pirates, the World Government's personnel had given up on capturing Kaido, and experimented on him.
However, as the war of God Valley had ended, Kaido hadn't developed his forces together with Charlotte Linlin.
And had planned to develop his forces alone, which had also been noticed by the people of the World Government.
This was why Kaido had been captured again, and had been tied to this laboratory for people to research.
As for the Mythical Zoan that Kaido had eaten, it had been given by Charlotte Linlin.
Charlotte Linlin's intention was to nurture Kaido.
