Pirates: How Many Divisions Do the Five Elders Have? Custom-Ordered Warship

Not far away, the "Good Guy Twitch" has been transformed into a dilapidated, war-damaged Ukrainian warship.

If it weren't for the incredibly strong Seastone base and the timely arrival of Morgan's troops to put out the fire, this ship would probably have sunk long ago.

"Fortunately, the fire did not spread to the ammunition depot!"

Morgan scratched his head, looking rather embarrassed, and asked for credit.

Twitch hugged Garp's leg and gave him a look that said, "Thank you so much, you ancestor of eighteen generations."

How can you possibly bring down the Celestial Dragons by hanging out with these idiots?

Without someone carrying the burden in the darkness, how can this world see the light again?

How can the tree of justice flourish Root Division are not large?

Indeed, establishing a [Root Division] structure is quite necessary!

With that unreliable Nika god, the future of this world is still worrying.

In order to live out the remaining 350 years of my life, which are as fleeting as a night-blooming cereus, in peace, I really have to do something!

Ma Qiao shook his head, Scan the newspaper, and uploaded it online.

[Old Wave], a professional and objective new media platform dedicated to recording the past and looking towards the future, is already in the works.

Big News Morgans: Big News Morgans may have realized that the power to dominate public opinion is power. (President of World Economy News Paper, user of the Bird-Bird Fruit - Albatross Form, as shown in the picture)

But as the founder of RT-Mart said, he defeated all his competitors, but lost to the times!

The king of the print media era will eventually bow out before the tides of time.

How could an albatross possibly be a match for a penguin?

Ma Qiao firmly believed this!

"Vice Admiral Garp, Ace has already issued a challenge to us!"

While Ma Qiao was plotting how to uphold justice, Smoker couldn't resist grabbing the ear of Garp's dog-head hat:

"Two weeks ago, Ace ate the Flame-Flame Fruit Ma Qiao the Ant Nest Island. There's no way Ma Qiao could have known that, so it's absolutely true— Ace did it!"

Didi--

[Miss Navy, how spicy would you like your barbecue? Extra spicy, medium spicy, mild spicy, or spicy because I miss you?]

Garp replied: [Spicy or not doesn't matter, size is the most important thing.]

Then, without making a sound, he turned off the Den Den Mushi.

Garp rubbed his head and continued to examine the note in his hand.

Not to mention that Ace becoming Devil Fruit User was something no one could have predicted, which could serve as irrefutable evidence, the note in front of him alone had already completely convinced Garp of Twitch and Ma Qiao's story.

Others might not recognize Ace's handwriting, but surely that old Garp would?

Yes, this is indeed Ace's handwriting.

And it was indeed written on it that people hated this Nezumi ship.

"Sure enough, that brat has become increasingly lawless since gaining power! He burned the boat just because it wasn't clean. Didn't I burn that Nezumi nephew's body?"

Muttering to himself, Garp kicked Twitch aside.

His face was gloomy, and his anticipation for the upcoming barbecue gift package was somewhat dampened.

"Don't worry, I will compensate you," Garp said in a deep voice.

"Huh? Vice Admiral Garp, it was Fire Fist Ace who started the fire! Why are you demanding compensation? It wasn't your fault!"

"All you have to do is help me catch that kid, and then lock him up in Impel Down!"

Twitch rolled back, revealing his innocent little green bean eyes.

Garp's eye twitched violently.

Impel Down?

Ace even fit to get into Impel Down?

Once inside Impel Down, Ace's true identity would be exposed.

It's not so bad that people find out he's their grandson.

If it's discovered that he has Roger's blood, he'll definitely be sent to the Execution Platform!

Ace wasn't yet the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, so his death wouldn't cause the same huge uproar as the Paramount War in the main story.

But Garp didn't want to bury his son.

So he had no choice but to continue pretending to be confused.

"Well... capturing Ace is certainly a must, but I think the remnants of the Sun Pirates are more troublesome. They're a formidable pirate who can rival Borsalino. If we don't deal with them, the security situation in the East Blue will definitely plummet!"

Smoker wanted to say that the East Blue had never been a safe place, but Garp had already forcibly changed the subject.

Before Twitch, Garp said, "Young man from the Momonga family, I know your uncle has connections, but since your flagship was burned while you were by my side, I must make some compensation!"

Garp rummaged in his pocket for a while, finally pulling out a business card. He said, "Sengoku recently placed an order at the Galley-La Shipyard. With my card, you can go to Water 7 and have the shipwrights build an extra warship. Sengoku will handle the cost."

Needless to say, the large order from the Marine Headquarters requires the construction of advanced warships.

According to Garp, this time Fleet Admiral Sengoku ordered ten large warships from the Galley-La shipyard.

Ten warships—that doesn't seem like enough for Hawk-Eye to swipe with a few strokes.

But these warships aren't the bulky, bloated warships of the Krieg Pirates.

These are all high-class ships, massive in size, heavily armored, and heavily armed; each one is qualified to participate in the Buster Call operation.

Of course, Garp wouldn't be equipping Twitch with Buster Call- class warship in his mind.

Garp didn't care, but the key issue was that Sengoku couldn't possibly reimburse such outrageous expenses.

Ships are indeed cheap in the world of One Piece, but that's compared to the massive ocean liners on Earth that are veritable money-devouring monsters.

Within the world of One Piece, ships are still quite valuable.

The small boat that Ace rode alone cost approximately 1000 Beli. (See picture)

The technologically unsophisticated Going Merry is worth approximately 50 million Beli. (See picture)

Any one of their warships is more than ten times the size of the Going Merry.

Even without considering that the warship's materials and armaments are superior to the Going Merry, its price exceeds that of a Shichibukai.

As for the high-level warships of the Buster Call class, each one is worth the head of one of the Four Emperors. (See picture)

It's outrageous, but that's the truth.

The wealth of the World Government is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Even if the Celestial Dragons squander their wealth, the Navy still has plenty of funds left for its operations...

I feel sorry for Uncle Zhu Youjian for a second now.

In short, Garp believed that a warship worth five or six hundred million Beli would be enough to make up for the mistakes his grandson had made.

Ma Qiao looked at the numbers reported by the quartermaster and fell into deep thought.

Ace!

You can't die!

I'd call you the Pirate Pot King!

"Vice Admiral Garp, the mere grudge of burning ships is nothing to worry about. I can hear the child crying inside..."

Ma Qiao reached out and stroked the charred mast, looking at Garp with genuine sincerity. "Although I don't know exactly what his past was like, I can sense the immense pain he endured, and the darkness he harbored that most people couldn't even imagine..."

Garp stared at Ma Qiao in shock.

This man, who only met Ace once, was able to see through Ace's heart so clearly!

If Garp previously thought it was just talk when people said "Mr. Ma Qiao" was an expert on human nature, now it seems that it's all true!

"If I had met you sooner... perhaps my two grandsons... perhaps everything would be different..."

Garp shook his head with a sigh and staggered back to his flagship.

His silhouette at that moment didn't resemble that of a naval hero, but rather that of an ordinary old man.
