At these words, Garp clenched his fists, but finally sighed and returned to the sofa, picking up the document.
Seeing the actions of the two people he respected most before his eyes.
The soldier delivering the message felt his whole worldview collapsing.
His mind was filled with thoughts of being silenced.
After all, he had witnessed such a bizarre scene.
Garp carefully read every word on the document, his expression as serious as Sengoku's.
Then, he slammed his fist into the sofa beside him.
Although the sofa didn't break, a huge crack appeared in the floor of Marine Headquarters.
The contents of the document clearly stated:
When Smoker escorts Crocodile into Impel Down.
Secretly take photos and hand them directly to the newspaper the next day.
Attribute all the credit to Smoker; if Smoker doesn't accept it, he will be blacklisted permanently.
They had also heard about Smoker protesting to the Five Elders.
They never expected the Five Elders to do something so despicable; this was a complete betrayal of the World Government's justice.
As the two of them were fuming, the messenger soldier, emboldened, took a step forward and hesitantly said:
"Uh, Fleet Admiral, the World Government also issued another order."
Saying this, the soldier pointed to Raynor's wanted poster.
"The Five Elders said this person must be captured alive!"
As soon as the messenger finished speaking, Sengoku's expression could no longer be maintained. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Five Elders, what do you think Marines are? Are we just dogs to be ordered around? Dammit!"
With that, Sengoku slapped Raynor's wanted poster.
And this wanted poster was a bit different from usual; it now had two more characters, Raynor.
... Megalo Town.
Nami led Raynor, Luffy, and Zoro for a stroll through the town.
Nami's heavenly beauty attracted many gazes.
However, upon seeing the three followers behind Nami, they quickly dismissed their thoughts.
Although the three behind her didn't look like hardened criminals, they were certainly not people to be trifled with.
Nami bought some cosmetics and clothes along the way, spending tens of thousands of Berries.
But when Luffy wanted to buy a chicken leg, Nami refused, citing budget constraints.
Luffy contorted his face, complaining:
"Nami is so stingy..."
Although Luffy said it very quietly, Nami still heard him.
She directly punched Luffy on the head, leaving him speechless.
Seeing Nami's violent side, those who had harbored ill intentions towards her now avoided her like the plague.
Soon, Nami and the others found a tavern and walked in.
They could have a hearty meal here, buy some provisions, and also inquire about the location of Sky Island.
With this in mind, Nami and Luffy swaggered in.
Raynor and Zoro exchanged a look and then strolled in.
As soon as they entered, Luffy wanted to order meat, but Nami stopped him.
"Boss, don't listen to him. Just bring us a few filling dishes."
Hearing this, the tavern owner served Luffy several cherry pies.
Then he said with a smile:
"You must be from the East Blue, right?"
Nami said in surprise:
"That's amazing, boss! How did you know?"
Hearing this, the boss burst into laughter.
"To be honest, I've been to the East Blue too. I can tell from your accent. Honestly, I really miss the East Blue."
Hearing this, Luffy ate his cherry pie and recalled the shadows of his grandfather's punishments, shuddering.
To him, the East Blue was a place of hardship.
However, when he thought of Ace, his face lit up with a brilliant smile.
Then he began to eat heartily.
Seeing Luffy enjoying his meal so much.
The tavern owner brought Luffy another plate.
Nami wanted to refuse, but she heard the boss say with a smile:
"It's rare to meet people I can talk to. These are on me."
Nami thanked the boss, but at this moment, the boss's expression turned grim.
"After you finish eating, you should leave this spot quickly. It's not a place for ordinary people to sit."
Hearing this, Luffy, while eating his cherry pie, looked up and asked in confusion:
"Do I have to pay for this spot?"
The boss was stunned for a moment and was about to explain when suddenly a startled cry rang out from the tavern.
"Oh no, everyone get out! It's Bellamy, Bellamy is here!"
"Why is Bellamy never here at this time? What's going on?!"
"Don't worry about it, just clear the spot."
Hearing the commotion, Luffy and Nami turned back in confusion.
The boss's face was grave as he said:
"Alright, I won't charge you for these. You should leave now. This spot belongs exclusively to Bellamy!"
Hearing this, Nami frowned. Although she was annoyed, judging by the reactions of those around her, this Bellamy must be a wicked pirate.
On the principle of avoiding trouble, Nami wanted to pull Luffy away.
"Hey, Luffy, take your food with you, we need to go."
Hearing this, Luffy's face twisted.
He muttered:
"No..."
At these words, Nami sighed. Her captain was truly hopeless.
Seeing Luffy's reaction.
The tavern owner understood Luffy's feelings, after all, a newborn calf fears no tiger.
However, not showing respect to Bellamy could be fatal.
"Hey, young man, now is not the time to be willful. Bellamy is a major pirate wanted by the World Government, with a bounty of fifty-five million Berries!"
Hearing the bounty amount, Nami gasped.
"Hey, Luffy, hurry up and listen to the boss! We're leaving. His bounty is almost twice yours!"
The more she said this, the more Luffy refused to leave.
No matter what Nami said, Luffy remained unmoved.
Seeing this, Raynor and Zoro exchanged a look and shook their heads helplessly.
Their captain was truly beyond saving.
Just as they were thinking this, a dark-skinned man with an extremely arrogant face walked in.
He glanced around and then locked onto Luffy, who was eating cherry pie at the counter.
And Raynor, who was next to him.
He strode over, without a word, grabbed Luffy's head, and smashed the counter to pieces.
