Garp Smashed the Den Den Mushi on the Warship

"Garp, don't come in."

The Sengoku blocked the way.

Garp didn't stop.

"Get out of the way."

"This is the highest-level meeting of the Marine Headquarters."

"I am still Vice Admiral."

You have been suspended from your duties.

"When?"

"Just now."

"Then you should move aside even more; I'm not here for a meeting."

Sengoku grabbed his arm.

"Once you're inside, every word you say will be broadcast live globally."

"It's already being broadcast outside."

"Do you know what the Five Elders want?"

"Know."

"They want the Navy to prove that the public trial was a hoax staged by pirates."

Do you believe it?

The Sengoku did not answer.

The generals in the command room were all looking towards the door.

A newly delivered unified statement sits in the center of the table.

[No civilian injection experiments ever occurred in God Valley.]

[The relevant medical records were forged by the Trafalgar Family.]

The Navy will uphold the legitimate order of World Governments.

Garp reached over Sengoku's shoulder and read the last line.

Who wrote it?

"World Government Propaganda Department."

"You signed it?"

"Not yet."

Why not sign?

"Garp."

"I'm asking you why you won't sign."

During the Sengoku, the door was closed halfway.

"Because I'm waiting for evidence."

"The evidence was shown on the screen hundreds of times."

"Medical records can be altered, and audio recordings can be spliced together. You just saw that fake medical order from Luo's father."

"So what?"

"The Navy cannot declare the World Government guilty solely based on the content presented in the live stream."

"That doesn't mean they didn't do it."

I wasn't going to say that.

"Is the statement on the table just for placing cups on?"

The gates of the Sengoku period were fully opened.

"Come in first."

"Why didn't you do this earlier?"

Garp walked into the command room and casually dragged out a chair.

No one is sitting here.

He didn't sit down; instead, he pushed the chair aside and stood in front of the live stream screen.

The Five Elders' communications were still broadcasting commands.

The Navy must issue a statement refuting the claim within ten minutes.

[Garp must not access the public trial line]

[Detained on charges of treason if necessary]

Garp picked up the Den Den Mushi.

Who will detain this old man?

Sengoku pressed down on the microphone.

Don't answer.

"They specifically asked for me."

This is an order, not a talk to you.

"Then I'll reply as well."

The other end of the Den Den Mushi was switched to the Five Elders' private line.

"Garp, you disobeyed orders at God Valley, and this public trial involves a conflict of interest for you. You are not qualified to testify."

Does anyone have it?

"The investigation is being conducted by a team appointed by the World Government."

Are any of the doctors from that time on the investigation team?

"No."

"Is there a patient?"

"There are no commoner patients in God Valley."

"So what are you investigating?"

The sound of files being turned over came from the other side.

"Hero of the Marines should be mindful of their stance."

"My stance is with the warship."

"Your honor comes from the World Government."

Garp looked at Lami's medical records on the screen.

"And who gave this child this illness?"

"The Amber Lead Syndrome originated from illegal mining by the Flevance royal family."

"I'm asking about the God Valley."

The two are unrelated.

"Then why are you all using the same drug?"

No one spoke in the command room.

Sengoku stared at the statement on the table, his hand never letting go.

The Five Elders said, "Stop with these pointless questions."

Can't answer?

"Garp, this is the last warning."

Den Den Mushi popped up requesting to be muted.

[Should Monkey D. Garp's public speaking privileges be revoked?]

The Fleet Admiral's seal from the Sengoku became the sole means of identification.

Everyone looked at him.

The adjutant reminded him, "Fleet Admiral, there are twenty seconds left."

Sengoku, the seal was raised.

Garp asked, "Are you going to cover it?"

"I can't let you drag the entire navy into this."

"The navy went in a while ago."

"At least there's still a way out."

"Where to retreat to?"

The Sengoku period seal is displayed above the confirmation box.

"Maintain the existing order first."

Is injecting children with poison considered "order"?

"I'm talking about millions of navy personnel. If the World Government were to shut down, chaos would erupt everywhere."

So, you're letting them continue managing it?

"Find out the truth first."

"They're going to investigate for another thirty-eight years?"

Sengoku looked up at him.

If you have evidence, then produce it.

Garp did not answer immediately.

He reached into his coat and touched an old diary.

The corners of the book are worn, and the cover still has dark stains that cannot be washed off.

The Five Elders clearly saw it.

The Den Den Mushi issued a new command.

[Immediately confiscate Garp's personal belongings]

The guards outside the door did not move.

The adjutant looked at the Sengoku.

"Fleet Admiral?"

The seals were withdrawn Sengoku.

There's nothing here that needs to be confiscated.

"Sengoku, you are defying the orders of the World Government."

"I'm still verifying."

"Execute immediately."

The encrypted Den Den Mushi skipped the forced mute process.

Garp on the screen only had three seconds left to speak.

Sengoku, someone reached out to pull the power cord.

Garp was faster, picking up the Den Den Mushi and smashing it against the corner of the table.

The outer casing cracked, and the licensed chip inside rolled into the tea.

The countdown to the ban ended in the last second.

"Garp!"

"It's too noisy."

That's the highest level of encryption!

I'll compensate you later.

What will you use to compensate us?

Deduct it from your salary.

You have been suspended!

"Then you can owe it."

The live stream is still ongoing.

The broken Den Den Mushi failed to shut down the line; instead, it lost its mute module, sending all the sounds from the command center to the Sky Screen.

Garp picked up the old journal.

"I was on duty at God Valley thirty-eight years ago."

The Five Elders immediately denied it.

[Garp was on a pirate-slaying mission at the time]

Garp turned to the first page.

"The first day's orders were to escort the Celestial Dragons into the hunting grounds."

Someone behind the command center looked away.

The next day, the Holy Knights requested the navy to blockade the Port and prevent civilians from leaving the island.

Sengoku asked, "Why wasn't the logbook submitted to the Archive Room?"

"I submitted one."

What about this one?

"I copied it."

Who can prove that the content hasn't been changed?

Garp turned the logbook towards the camera.

Each page has the signature of the naval officer on duty that year in the bottom right corner.

Several people are already dead, and two others are now serving as Marine Branch.

Sengoku recognized one of the names.

"He also signed it?"

"She helped me check the flight path."

Why has she never mentioned it?

"Because I told her not to mention it."

How much more are you hiding?

"I can't remember."

You'd better start thinking about it now.

Garp turned to the page where the injection took place.

A piece of the paper was missing from the middle, and the edges bore black marks from the fire, but the remaining content was still legible.

[The Medical Department's motorcade entered from the east gate of the Royal Hunting Grounds]

Civilians are being asked to receive COVID-19 vaccinations.

[High fever and white patches on the skin occurred after the injection]

Garp pointed to the last line.

"When I went in, there were seventeen children lying on the ground."

The Five Elders interrupted, "The log cannot prove the contents of the injection."

"I arrested a doctor."

"What about your statement?"

"They were taken away by the Holy Knights."

Since there was no confession, your record can only be considered as your personal judgment.

He left behind a vial of medicine.

Garp pulled a thin piece of paper from Inner Compartment cover of the journal.

There's a rubbing of a medicine bottle pressed on top, along with a Medical Department number.

Vegapunk immediately pulled up the old database.

The names corresponding to the same number appear on the Public Trial Scales.

[Experimental Type of Amber Lead Stock Solution]

Someone in the command room took off their hat and placed it on the table.

Another general ripped off the World Government Union badge from his shoulder.

Sengoku looked at the string of numbers.

Why did you stay until now?

"Someone is preventing me from paying."

"Who?"

"The Five Elders of yesteryear."

The World Government network has begun deleting Garp's log images in bulk.

The civilian Den Den Mushi has already completed the transfer.

The North Blue Clinic sent the first page to the East Blue, East Blue fishing boats then sent the second page to the Grand Line.

Every time something is deleted, hundreds more copies appear elsewhere.

Garp walked in front of the broadcast camera and took off the justice cape from his back.

The cloak fell onto the conference table, covering the unified statement.

Sengoku stared at him.

Why are you taking this off?

"So they won't say I'm using my naval status to force people to believe me."

"Can I put it back on after taking it off?"

You keep this for me.

I didn't agree.

"Then throw it away."

Garp held the old logbook up to the camera.

"As a staff member on duty at the God Valley site, I hereby apply to serve as a witness in the Dawn Public Trial."

The system did not confirm immediately.

[Witness submissions will be permanently made public]

[The witness will lose the World Government's reputation protection]

[Continue?]

Garp turned to the last page and pressed his fingerprint on it.

"Continue."

Applications for Public Trial Scales are accepted.

The fourth option is finally fully displayed.

[The current World Government with the highest authority]

At the same time, internal naval channels lit up one after another.

Some refused to continue shelling the East Blue, some announced their withdrawal from the Medical Department mission, and others were still waiting for the official orders from the Sengoku.

Sengoku bent down, picked up Garp's cloak, and shook off the scraps of paper.

You've dumped all the problems on me.

Garp said, "Aren't you the Fleet Admiral?"

"Former Fleet Admiral."

"Then what are you afraid of?"

Sengoku draped his cloak over the back of his chair, turned around, and pressed the button on the Navy's public channel.

The system, however, popped up a warning first.

[Missing page detected in witness log]

[The holder of the missing page has been connected to the public trial]

The scene then cuts to the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

Saint Garling stood outside the council chamber of the Five Elders, holding a piece of old paper that was half burned.

"Garp, do you dare to include the child you took that day in your testimony?"
