The Sabaody Archipelago Incident!
"Garp!!"
"Look what you've done!"
Inside the Fleet Admiral's Office.
Sengoku's face was filled with anger and helplessness, and he slammed his hands on the desk, making a loud thud.
Just now.
He received news that was enough to shock World Government.
The Celestial Dragons, including the Celestial Dragons Saint Charlos, was attacked by pirates.
The one who did it was none other than Monkey D. Luffy, the grandson of the naval Garp the Hero!
This is a crime even more serious than causing a disturbance on Enies Lobby.
If Garp Water 7, but instead imprisoned them, how could this have happened?
Fight the Celestial Dragons!
The crimes were so grave that even he, as a Fleet Admiral, could not suppress them.
"Ha ha!"
"As expected of my grandson, he has guts!"
Garp, however, didn't care at all.
He has always despised the Celestial Dragons.
Those pigs only waste food and disgust people; Luffy beat them up and they even felt good about it.
"Garp!!"
Sengoku rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
What's going on with this family?
The son joined the Revolutionary Army to overthrow the World Government, while the grandson became a pirate and fought against the Celestial Dragons, the Celestial Dragons.
However, Garp is both his friend and comrade-in-arms, so he can't go too far with this.
Just then...
The office door was pushed open.
Feng Lei and Victoria walked in.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku Feng Lei, the Warring States Vice Admiral, has arrived!"
Victoria stood aside.
"Vice Admiral Feng Lei, I have an important task for you!"
Sengoku glanced at Garp, then looked at Feng Lei.
"Take men to the Sabaody Archipelago immediately and capture the Straw Hat Pirates and their accomplices who attacked the Celestial Dragons!"
Heeding the words of the Sengoku.
Feng Lei was taken aback.
"The Straw Hat brat?"
Weren't these people arrested by themselves?
How could the Sabaody Archipelago Incident happen again?
Seeing Feng Lei's surprised expression, Sengoku gritted his teeth and looked at Garp.
Garp grinned sheepishly and explained to Feng Lei, "After you went to carry out the mission to summon the Shichibukai, Aokiji and I received an invitation and a warm welcome from the mayor of Water 7."
"As it Luffy out, that brat Luffy and his crew took advantage of the opening and rescued them. By the time I realized what was happening, that brat had already set sail!"
Upon hearing this...
Feng Lei was speechless for a moment.
If you hadn't deliberately let them escape, would Luffy and his crew have been able to get away?
And what's more, there's also Aokiji.
Even if we go out to sea, we can catch up, right?
But then I thought about it again.
After all, he's her own grandson; it's only natural to be soft-hearted.
In the original work, Garp also went to sea, throwing cannonballs for a while before heading back home.
"So, sending me to catch them this time is also a way of letting them get away with it?"
Feng Lei raised an eyebrow.
Luffy is not his biological grandson.
As naval personnel, capturing pirates is our duty.
If Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Garp still ask him to go easy on them, then he might as well not take the mission.
Upon hearing Feng Lei's words...
Sengoku still kept his eyes on Garp.
In fact.
The reason he sent Feng Lei to capture Luffy and his crew was that he intended to let them pass easily.
After all, fighting the Celestial Dragons requires the deployment of Marine Admiral.
Although Feng Lei is not Admiral yet, he will definitely become Marine Admiral in the future. Even if the Five Elders hold him accountable, he will have a reason to persuade them.
In terms of relationships, Feng Lei is Garp's disciple, Luffy is Garp's grandson. Even if they were to be captured, they wouldn't be killed.
However, sensing the dissatisfaction in Feng Lei's words, he became somewhat unsure of what to do.
Seeing this, Garp grinned and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? You're the Fleet Admiral!"
"But!"
Garp looked at Feng Lei.
"Let's keep things separate. My mistake earlier had nothing to do with your mission. I'll say it again: Luffy, Luffy become a pirate, should be prepared to be captured one day."
Garp already felt guilty towards Feng Lei for letting Luffy and his crew escape by Water 7.
Once is never enough!
"All right!"
Seeing that Garp wasn't just saying polite words, Feng Lei nodded in agreement.
"I'll take this task!"
To prevent them from escaping again, he might as well personally send Luffy and his crew to Impel Down!
"In that case, let's set off as soon as possible. I've already ordered Vice Admiral Onigumo and Yamakaji to gather the men!"
Sengoku handed the mission order to Feng Lei.
Now.
The harbor of Marineford was already packed with warships, and the decks of each ship were filled with fully armed naval personnel.
Ahead, there were three uniquely designed warships.
One warship has a spider-like prow, another has a giant's head, and the third has a somewhat feminine design.
At the very front of the three warships stood three lieutenant Vice Admiral.
Onigumo, Yamakaji, Doll!
And ahead of the three Vice Admirals.
There was a special warship, and on that warship was a tall man wielding a giant axe.
Sentomaru!
Behind him stood ten Pacifista.
Besides.
Smoker, Hina, and Tashigi were also among those listed.
As early as after news of Luffy's attack on the Celestial Dragons reached Marine Headquarters, Smoker, along with Hina and Tashigi, applied to Zephyr to go to the Sabaody Archipelago to capture the Straw Hat Pirates!
For capturing pirates.
Zephyr was naturally pleased.
So they were placed in the team led by Sentomaru.
Hina was truly astonished; that Straw Hat brat actually dared to lay a hand on Celestial Dragons!
Hina lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled smoke.
This is a serious incident that could warrant the intervention of Admiral!
"I wonder which Admiral is leading us on this mission!"
Tashigi's eyes were filled with excitement.
During this time, she trained at the Marine Academy and her strength increased greatly, so naturally she wanted to hone her skills.
"With Admiral in charge, Straw Hat brat is definitely not going to escape this time."
Smoker, with two cigars dangling from his lips, looked on with anticipation.
Why did he come to Marine Headquarters?
It was all for the purpose of hunting down the Straw Hat Pirates.
Now!
The opportunity has arrived!
"Someone's coming!"
Just then...
Tashigi looked towards the harbor, and someone approached.
Smoker and Hina followed the gaze and saw a man and a woman walking towards them.
It was Feng Lei and Victoria.
It's him!
"Is he going to join us on this mission?"
I spotted Feng Lei.
Smoker and the other two were all taken aback.
But then I thought about it again.
Feng Lei is now Vice Admiral, so it is perfectly reasonable for him to carry out this mission.
However, the next second...
Victoria's words rang out at the harbor, shocking countless people.
"By order of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, this mission will be under the full command of Vice Admiral Feng Lei!"
Upon hearing this,
Not only Smoker and his two companions, but also a series of high-ranking naval officers such as Onigumo, Yamakaji, Doll, Sentomaru all showed expressions of shock.
According to the rules.
The Celestial Dragons have been attacked; the Navy must dispatch Admiral!
How did he become Vice Admiral this time?
He's just a newly promoted Vice Admiral!
Smoker and his two companions were also fine.
After all, they had witnessed Feng Lei's strength firsthand. As his defeated opponent, they were no match for him in terms of status or ability.
However, Vice Admirals like Onigumo frowned.
Both are Vice Admiral.
Why should Feng Lei be given full authority?
This mission, in particular, involves the Celestial Dragons and the World Government; if it fails, they will also be implicated.
Instantly.
The three lieutenant Vice Admiral were filled with bitterness!
