Sakazuki Brought It on Himself
Meanwhile, the New Marineford is also paying attention to the impact of Haku's actions!
It can be said that G1 was originally at the entrance to the New World! Any Pirates who came from the first half of the Grand Line would have a very high chance of being surrounded and attacked by the Navy!
"What on earth is going on? Who could cause such a commotion?" Some Marine stared in shock at the large amount of visible cold air, the constantly vibrating air, and the intersecting lightning, lost in thought.
Upon seeing the lightning in the sky, some Veterans immediately realized why the two Admiral and numerous Marine Vice Admiral had gone to the New World exit location this morning!
A Veterans sighed and said, "Mr. Haku was such a great Admiral, and now he's become our enemy!"
"Shut up! Be careful what you say!" A Veterans quickly covered the man who had just spoken and pulled him to a less crowded area.
Meanwhile, at a new recruit training base in New Marineford, Garp looked much older than Sengoku!
Compared to the seriousness of the Sengoku, Garp seemed rather idle.
Soon, Vice Admiral Tsuru entered from outside and headed straight for Garp and Sengoku's location. Vice Admiral Momousagi followed behind her!
When Garp saw Vice Admiral Tsuru, he laughed and said, "Tsuru, what brings you here today? Oh, Gion is here too."
Garp diligently moved a stool and placed it on the ground!
Some of the new recruits noticed what was happening here and, attracted by it, slowed down their training pace.
"A bunch of brats! Anyone who fails today's training will have to double their training load tomorrow!" Garp shouted angrily, noticing the recruits' situation.
All the new recruits shuddered in fright and immediately worked even harder.
After Garp finished scolding them, the three men, all over fifty years old, quieted down.
The atmosphere became slightly awkward!
Sengoku, Sengoku hair and beard were clearly white, said, "Tsuru, you must have come here at Sakazuki's behest, right?"
"That's right!" Vice Admiral Tsuru Kaidō frankly.
Garp snorted coldly, saying unhappily, "What, is that Sakazuki guy afraid I'll go out?"
Garp's words were pointed!
There was no way around it; the high-ranking naval personnel changes today were quite significant. Even if Sengoku and Garp didn't deliberately inquire, they could tell who the Navy was targeting today!
Garp's eyes dimmed slightly. If it weren't for Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru's persuasion, he would have already stormed into the Fleet Admiral's office and given Akainu a few punches!
Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed. She knew of the discord between Garp and Akainu, but she also knew she needed to remain calm. She said softly, "Garp, this matter is no small thing. Sakazuki... he has his reasons."
Garp snorted but didn't reply, clearly disagreeing with the statement.
Sengoku picked up the conversation, saying seriously, "Tsuru, do you think that kid will be taken down this time? I heard that Saint Nusjuro, one of the Five Elders, has also made a move?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded, but said aloud, "With Haku's abilities, taking him down won't be easy!"
"I'm afraid those Five Elders must have something that could threaten Haku's life, otherwise they wouldn't have sent just one! They would have sent all five together!" Vice Admiral Tsuru added.
Garp laughed heartily, "Knowing that kid as I do, he's probably already taken many precautions. Those five guys' plans have likely fallen through!"
"It's good that the kid is alright, which saves some people from worrying about him day and night," Vice Admiral Tsuru He said directly.
"Sister Crane!" Momousagi, who had been sitting silently in the corner, lowered her head slightly.
Vice Admiral Tsuru shook his head and said, "Girls really are a case of 'grow up and leave home,' if we weren't here, you'd probably already be in that kid's New Marines!"
Momousagi wished she could bury her head in the dirt!
At this point, Sengoku sighed and said, "Because of the falling out between the World Government Navy and that kid, there's very little fresh blood joining the Navy now!"
"I don't know what Sakazuki was thinking, actually cooperating with the World Government to take away Haku back then!" Sengoku's tone was tinged with resentment!
The main Akainu is that Fleet Admiral's outrageous actions are just too much!
Not only did their attempt to smear others fail, they also got themselves into a mess!
There's a general sense of unease and uncertainty throughout the navy. Many young Marine are privately discussing the Future of the navy, feeling lost and anxious.
Garp glared at Sengoku and said with dissatisfaction, "This is all Sakazuki's own fault. He shouldn't have bothered with the World Government in the first place! Now look what's happened, he just walked away and left us with a mess to clean up!"
Sengoku sighed helplessly. He knew Garp was telling the truth, but it was too late to regret it now.
From the moment the bounty was placed on Haku's head, things became irreversible.
The sky over New Marineford quickly darkened!
Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru, Sengoku, and Momousagi couldn't help but stand up and look up at the sky.
After a moment's thought, Sengoku said, "Was this place affected by that kid's Rumble-Rumble Fruit powers?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru tightened her clothes and said, "I'm afraid it's not the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. You should also be able to feel the temperature around us dropping rapidly!"
"That must be the power of one of Haku's weapons! I remember one of them had the ability to freeze!" Momousagi was paying close attention to the things around Haku, said.
Upon hearing this, Garp frowned, gazing at the increasingly gloomy clouds in the sky, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
Sure enough, ice began to form rapidly around them, and even the eyelashes of Sengoku and his companions were covered in frost!
"This kid's power has even affected this area!" Sengoku, staring at the direction from which the chilling aura was emanating.
Garp, seeing the recruits shivering from the cold, shouted, "Quick! Get inside! Close the door right away!"
Garp believed that if these Marine were left on the training field any longer, they would all turn into ice sculptures in no time!
Vice Admiral Tsuru said, "Just how far has the battle progressed over there? If this continues, I'm afraid New Marineford be paralyzed for a while!"
Garp picked his nose and said, "That kid probably did it on purpose. Don't forget the range of his Observation Haki. He might be showing off!"
"Besides, the one who should be worried is Sakazuki!" Garp glanced at the building above, and the place he was looking at was Akainu's office!
