Transfer to G5

Haku said seriously, "The other party is the son of your late captain, Gol D. Roger!"

At this, even Shakky, who had been looking quite leisurely off to the side, started looking at Haku seriously.

Rayleigh looked at Haku in sheer shock, unable to believe his own ears.

He shook his head, thinking he had heard wrong. He said, "Did you just say Captain Roger's son?"

Haku nodded and said, "Yes! Exactly Gol D. Roger's son!"

Rayleigh asked again, "Are you sure?"

"I'm very sure!" Haku said seriously.

With that, Haku immediately guessed that Rayleigh did indeed know Portgas D. Rouge, but he did not know that she had left their captain a son.

Now that Haku was laying Ace's identity out directly in front of Rayleigh, he was actually intending to look out for Ace a little.

After all, in this world, Ace was the only one who shared a bloodline with him!

However, Haku's current status was that of a Marine Admiral, so he couldn't directly step in to save Ace!

Thus, just to be safe, Haku decided to drag Rayleigh into this muddy water anyway.

After discussing some details with the other man, Haku left.

As for whether the man doubted Ace's identity, with Shakky the information broker around anyway, Haku trusted they would go and investigate it clearly themselves!

Before long, Haku returned directly to the airship! After resting on the ship for the night, Haku early the next day piloted the airship and flew toward Marineford.

As for what Haku did on Sabaody Archipelago, because the commotion he raised was too huge, the World Government simply couldn't keep a lid on it, causing it to be reported by the World Economic News Company.

Anyway, Morgans that fellow made a killing off Haku once again!

And people all over the world were watching the World Government—no! To speak accurately, it should be the Celestial Dragons' joke!

Sengoku's office!

At this moment, Garp was holding a donut and eating it with great relish right in front of Sengoku!

Vice Admiral Tsuru was sitting on a sofa off to Garp's diagonal, leisurely sipping the hot tea in her hand.

Sengoku's current state did not look as good as these two friends of his!

At this moment, he had stubble on his face and bloodshot eyes, completely looking like someone who hadn't slept well!

Garp ate a donut while laughing heartily, "As expected of Haku, he's actually able to even extort the Celestial Dragons."

Vice Admiral Tsuru also smiled and said, "Yeah, Sengoku, you're going to have a headache over this now!"

Sengoku looked helplessly at these two friends of his, and he said with a wry smile, "The two of you, the reason I called you over this time is mainly to discuss how to downplay this matter. You must know the commotion Haku kicked up this time is no small matter!"

Garp curled his lip and said to Sengoku, "You should just secretly be happy. At least that kid Haku got you several billion in military funds!"

Although Garp wasn't there yesterday, he had still used his own channels to figure out this whole affair!

Vice Admiral Tsuru also nodded, agreeing with Garp's view, "That's right. Although Haku's extortion of the Celestial Dragons this time caused some trouble, it also secured a not-so-small sum of military funds for us Marines. For the development of our Marines, this is a good thing."

Sengoku smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You two mustn't look at things so simply. This time Haku's primary target of extortion was the Five Elders, and the current World Government is already extremely dissatisfied with Haku."

Garp said with a completely unconcerned look, "So what? That kid Haku is our Marine Admiral, after all."

When Garp said this, his smug expression made Sengoku almost unable to stand looking at him!

Sengoku spoke up, "Since the matter really has blown up a bit big this time, aren't you genuinely afraid Haku will really get stripped of his Admiral position?!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke up at this point, "The Five Elders won't just let high-end combat power like Haku go, but they will definitely transfer Haku away from Marineford to give him the cold-shoulder treatment, that's all!"

Soon, Sengoku's Den Den Mushi rang. After finishing the call,

Sengoku gave Vice Admiral Tsuru a quirky look, then said, "Indeed it's like that. The transfer order has just come down!"

"However, the place Haku was transferred to isn't very good!"

Since this matter concerned Haku after all, Garp spoke up, "Then where was Haku transferred to?"

Sengoku replied, "The transfer order says Haku is to be posted to the New World!

Garp and Vice Admiral Tsuru were both somewhat surprised. The New World was the Four Emperors' sphere of influence, a true battlefield.

Garp asked, "How could he be transferred to the New World?"

Sengoku said helplessly, "I don't know the higher-ups' meaning either. Maybe they want to let Haku spend some time in the New World!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru thought for a moment and said, "Although the New World is dangerous, it's also filled with opportunities. Haku taking up a post in the New World will also be a rare tempering for him."

Sengoku nodded in agreement with Vice Admiral Tsuru's view, "That's right, and Haku is an admiral now too. He needs more tempering and experience to better shoulder an admiral's responsibilities."

Garp said with dissatisfaction, "Even so, there was no need to send him to the New World, right? That's the Four Emperors' sphere of influence, not somewhere to mess around."

Sengoku looked at Garp and said, "Garp, I know you dote on Haku a lot. But you need to understand, Haku is our Marine Admiral now. He represents the face and strength of our Marines!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru also chimed in to console him, "That's right, Garp. We're all doing this for Haku's own good, and besides, with Haku's current strength, who in the New World do you think could possibly do anything to him?"

Garp sighed and said, "Fine, since you two have said so much, I have nothing more to say. I just hope Haku performs well in the New World!"

"Rest assured, old man! Even without this transfer order, I was planning to take a trip to the New World anyway." The one saying these words was none other than Haku himself, because Marine Headquarters was indeed very close to Sabaody Archipelago.

So it took practically no time at all for Haku to return to Marineford!

At that moment, Sengoku snatched a report off his desk and threw it right at Haku's face: "Brat! You're causing trouble the moment you get back!"

Haku casually caught the report Sengoku threw, and smiled as he said, "What kind of talk is that from the Fleet Admiral? This matter wasn't something I started on my own, anyway."

And after Haku walked in, Garp laughed and said, "Brat! It hasn't been that long, but you've grown quite a bit taller!"

It was true, seeing as Haku hadn't returned to Marineford in over half a year, and his current age was also in a phase of rapid growth.

Seeing Haku again after such a long time, Garp was immediately able to notice the other's changes.

Without a shred of modesty, Haku boasted to himself, "Of course! Look who I am."
