Sengoku: Not a Bad Story, but It'd Be Better with Tighter Logic

Upon hearing Garp's strange greeting, Bogart was momentarily stunned, and his steps involuntarily slowed down.

"What died?"

Suddenly, Garp saw the shadow at Bogart's feet. "Huh? You have a shadow? You're not dead?"

"Hey, you're not dead, how did you see me?"

Having figured things out, Bogart was speechless upon hearing Garp's words. "... Vice Admiral Garp, please stop guessing. Actually, it's you who Resurrection!"

"Resurrection?!"

Upon hearing this, Garp was startled, then pointed at Bogart and burst into laughter, even bending over backward with laughter.

Resurrection? Are you kidding me? How could there possibly be such a thing as Resurrection in this world?

Um???

What's this?

My shadow?

I'm not dead?!

As Garp was laughing, he suddenly saw his own Garp, and his brain completely shut down.

"Vice Admiral Garp, the truth is..."

Seeing that Garp had come to his senses, Bogart came to Garp's side and told Garp what had just happened.

A moment later, after listening to Bogart's account of Garp's Garp, his expression became complicated.

Resurrection, coins, beams of light...

These all sound so incredible!

But before he could figure it out, a voice instantly pulled him back to reality.

"Now can we talk properly, Vice Admiral Garp?"

Seeing that the situation here was over, Wu Tong walked over and said to Garp with a smile.

Coming to his senses, Garp looked at Wu Tong, who was smiling and walking towards him, and an embarrassed smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Of course, I'm sorry, buddy, it seems I misunderstood you."

Having been beaten up and even died once, Garp finally came to his senses.

Wu Tong and his group could not possibly be nobles, after all, he had never heard of any noble having such power.

Moreover, if Resurrection were truly something created by nobles, it would have been stolen by the Celestial Dragons; it wouldn't possibly appear on the sea.

"But who exactly are you people?"

After apologizing, Garp looked at Wu Tong and the others with a serious expression.

This made him extremely serious; the Resurrection Coin, Swordsman even stronger than the world's greatest Great Swordsman, and a seemingly very advanced ship...

Everything suggests that the team in front of us is not as simple as it seems.

As a naval officer tasked with maintaining peace at sea, Garp naturally needed to know the identities and intentions of this group.

"We? We're from Otherworld!"

Wu Tong didn't beat around the bush; he simply and calmly revealed their identities.

There was no way around it; his immense strength made him unafraid of any challenge.

Therefore, there is no need to hide anymore. Rather than living in secrecy, it is better to be open and honest about everything. In any case, Wu Tong has enough strength to cover all the consequences.

"Another... Otherworld!!!" *2

Upon hearing Wu Tong's words, Garp and Bogart exclaimed in surprise, their voices filled with astonishment and relief.

Yes, only Otherworld could explain why a group of powerful individuals suddenly appeared...

Marineford.

Marine Headquarters.

Inside the Marshal's office.

Otherworld?!

Hearing the messages coming through the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku was so shocked his beard almost fell off:

Unbelievable!

Garp, I never expected that a big, burly guy like you could actually come up with such a believable lie.

Listen to this... a visitor from Otherworld, a young and powerful Swordsman, stronger than Garp, Resurrection Coin, Garp living a second life, Ancient Wood Ship... how meticulously crafted! If it weren't for one loophole, I might have believed it.

What vulnerability?

Travel!

Garp actually said that those visitors from Otherworld came to this world just for tourism?

Do you think I believe it or not? Should I believe it or not?

"Alright, Garp, I admit your storytelling ability has improved a bit, but try to be more rigorous next time."

"Also, if you have any time now, go and investigate that Swordsman. Don't bother me with chatting for no reason; I have a lot of things to do."

Seeing the familiar old face mimicked by the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku casually replied with a few perfunctory words and prepared to hang up the Den Den Mushi to continue handling his business.

You have to understand that he is the Marshal of the Navy, and he has a lot of official duties. He is not as free Garp. Being able to find time to chat with that old guy for a few minutes is already considered a rest.

"I didn't lie, Sengoku, why don't you believe me?"

Hearing Garp's words, Sengoku gave a few insincere replies, "Oh... okay, okay, you're not lying. Can I hang up now?"

"You... never mind, Bogart, you talk to him. I can't explain it to him anyway. I'm going to go have a drink with Wu Tong."

Sengoku understood perfectly well that Garp was not taking Sengoku words seriously.

So he got tired of arguing with Sengoku and simply tossed the Den Den Mushi to Bogart before leaving.

After taking the Den Den Mushi, Bogart looked at the still-connected Den Den Mushi and said seriously:

"Moshi Moshi, Sengoku Marshal! I am Bogart!"

"Bogart?! What's going on with you guys?"

Sengoku frowned as he looked at the Den Den Den Mushi, which had changed its appearance.

He has now realized that something is wrong.

After all, if Garp was just joking with him, he wouldn't have involved Bogart.

"Sengoku Marshal, what Lieutenant General Garp said is true."

"You... you've also been infected by that old bastard Garp?"

Looking at the serious expression on the Den Den Mushi transformed into Bogart, Sengoku felt a pang of anxiety, but he still couldn't believe it was real. After all, the idea of a visitor from Otherworld was just too far-fetched.

"Sengoku Marshal, I swear in the name of justice that neither I nor Lieutenant General Garp lied. Everything Lieutenant General Garp said was what I saw with my own eyes."

Upon hearing that Bogart had actually sworn an oath in the name of justice, Sengoku immediately became serious.

After all, as the Fleet Marshal, no one understood the naval officers and soldiers' dedication and belief in justice better than him.

So when Sengoku heard Bogart swear in the name of justice, Sengoku already knew that what the two of them said was probably true.

"Bogart, tell me in detail what exactly is going on. Give me every single detail."

"Yes, Sengoku Marshal, the matter is actually like this..."
