Neither Grandfather nor Grandson Was Easy to Deal With

"Of course, given the current situation, if the balance of power among these three forces becomes unbalanced, the consequences will be irreversible," Garp said.

Haku pursed her lips, knowing that these three forces only appeared to be mutually restraining on the surface!

Only the World Government thinks its Shichibukai program is so...

Don't they realize that none of the Shichibukai are easy to deal with? Haku thought to herself.

However, Haku wouldn't directly undermine Garp in front of Luffy.

After all, this old man was ruthless when it came to taking action against him.

Just then, Zoro had been lost for some time, hurriedly returned.

He already knew that a large number of naval forces had suddenly arrived at the Harbor, and that a Vice Admiral was leading them to their residence in Water 7!

Zoro, who had rushed back, quickly engaged in combat with the Marines outside.

When Luffy saw that the person who came was Zoro, he quickly ran outside to stop him.

Garp watched Luffy off, and after ascertaining Zoro's identity, he said to the two Marines behind him, "This guy's got so much energy, you two go and stop him."

"Yes!" Koby and Helmeppo quickly ran over.

Haku stood up and walked over to Garp, looking at Koby and Helmeppo outside, and said, "These two kids are doing well. When you release them, how about we bring them to my G5 Base?"

Garp glanced at Haku out of the corner of his eye and said with a grin, "Wait a minute, these two kids are still a bit naive. They need some serious polishing!"

Haku looked at Luffy outside and said, "It seems Luffy has really stirred up quite a storm! Hasn't the World Government made any statement yet? And as far as I know, the World Government seems to be looking to fill the vacancy of Shichibukai, right?"

Upon hearing this, Garp frowned slightly and sighed, "The World Government's intentions are not so simple. On the surface, they sent this old man to sort things out, but secretly, they probably have other plans. As for the Shichibukai, hmph, those guys all have their own agendas; none of them will truly risk their lives for the World Government."

"So, we can basically ignore it!"

Haku nodded in deep agreement. The World Government's bureaucrats always valued their own interests above all else, while the Shichibukai were a pack of wolves used by the World Government, yet capable of turning on them at any moment.

"As for Luffy, although he's caused a lot of trouble, his character is pure. With proper guidance, he'll surely amount to something great in the future." Garp looked at Luffy outside, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

However, this praise was fleeting, and he immediately started cursing, "It's all that Red-Haired, otherwise Luffy would already be a qualified Marine!"

Haku smiled but didn't reply. She knew that Garp had extremely high expectations for Luffy.

Haku smiled and shook her head, saying, "Even without Red-Haired, Luffy, who ate the Gum-Gum Fruit, was destined never to become a Marine!"

Garp looked at Haku with a puzzled expression, not understanding why Haku would say that.

Haku didn't elaborate further, because Garp's Buggy that tight.

After seeing that Haku didn't answer, Garp suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Wait a minute! Weren't you on a mission to the Golden Lion in the East Blue?"

Haku paused for a moment, then replied, "No rush, and I never said I wanted to deal with the Golden Lion in the East Blue."

Garp picked his nose, then casually flicked his fingers and said, "Fine, do whatever you want. Just you'd better not reveal your current whereabouts, in case Sengoku finds out you're slacking off..."

Haku waved her hand dismissively and said, "Fine, even if I slack off, Fleet Admiral Sengoku won't say anything. He'll just be worried about where I'll make a mess of things!"

"Hahaha! You truly are my grandson!" Garp laughed and patted Haku on the shoulder.

As Nami listened to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, she suddenly felt a moment of silence for the few minutes she spent mourning for this unfamiliar Fleet Admiral.

She felt that Haku and Vice Admiral Garp, like her own captain, were no easy task!

The battle outside ended quickly; Luffy and Zoro subdued Koby and Helmeppo, who had suddenly attacked, in a very short time.

After they recognized each other again, they went back into the house.

Garp looked at Luffy and asked Haku, "Kid, how strong is Luffy now?"

Haku looked at Garp and said, "Luffy's strength has improved rapidly after each battle."

"However, he hasn't fully developed his Devil Fruit ability yet, and frequent use of some abilities would shorten his lifespan."

Garp didn't care at all; he believed Luffy could solve the problem on his own.

Haku continued, "You don't really need to worry about Luffy; he'll have his own opportunities! However, Luffy still needs more experience and refinement. The world is vast, and there are many strong individuals. If he wants to establish himself on this the Sea, he needs to work even harder."

Garp wholeheartedly agreed; naval strength is the only true measure of power!

After speaking with Haku, he walked out of the house and said to the navy men who had come with him, "Well then, my men!"

The sailors stood at attention, saluted, and awaited Garp's orders.

Garp pointed to the wall behind him and said, "Go and fix this wall for me!"

"Why!!!"

"How can you be so casual!"

"If I knew it needed fixing, why did I break it in the first place?!"

Since everyone knew Garp's character, they all started complaining about Garp.

Garp looked at the Marines under his command and said, "Because it'll look cooler going in like this!"

Haku suppressed a laugh and said, "Grandpa, don't use that as an excuse to destroy things! If you want them to fix it, you have to help them out!"

"Hey! You brat, you're not helping your own grandfather!" Garp said displeasedly to Haku, who had just spoken.

"Damn it! I haven't even settled the score with you for ambushing me yet!" Haku retorted directly.

The marines standing behind Garp chimed in, "Admiral Haku is right! Vice Admiral Garp wants us to fix it, you should help too!"

"Eh~! Okay!" Garp finally gave in.

Haku turned to Nami, Robin, and the others and gave them a victory sign!

Before he could even feel happy, Garp cracked his knuckles, grinned, and threatened, "Haku, you're going to help too!"

"Eh~! This is you..." Upon seeing Garp's expression, Haku immediately backed down!
