Arranging What Came After
Phoenix Habitat Wutong: @Everyone.
As soon as Wu Tong sent a message in the group, everyone immediately sensed the unusual activity in the Soul Net System.
Upon opening the message, I found that Wu Tong was issuing Summon Order in the group chat.
Upon seeing this, everyone began to reply:
Flawless One: Received (salute)!
Gold Rich Lady: Received~
Hawkeye:... Okay, I'll be right back!
Navy Hero: Hahaha... Got it, I'll be right back!
Fujitora: Me too, I'll be right back...
After seeing that everyone had replied, Wu Tong waved his hand in satisfaction and closed the Virtual Panel.
Subsequently, a round table and chairs large enough to accommodate everyone were built on the deck at the bow of the ship.
After doing all this, Wu Tong sat down in a chair and quietly waited for everyone to arrive.
After Wu Tong issued the Summon Order.
Apart from Sengoku, who was too far away and busy with official duties, all the other recruits, as well as the women brought by Wu Tong, also headed towards the Ancient Wood Ship.
Soon, everyone was on the deck of the ship.
After everyone arrived, Wu Tong greeted them, "Alright, have a seat. There's something I need to tell you."
Upon hearing this, although everyone was puzzled about what was going on, they still listened to Wu Tong's words, found a seat at random, and sat down.
After everyone was seated, discussions began to rise.
Elysia was the first to ask, "What happened? Wu Tong, why did you call everyone here?"
Wu Tong slowly began, "Regarding the Douluo World, the Asura God came knocking, but was captured by Kevin..."
Upon hearing this, Minami Rika was overjoyed. "So, does that mean we've got the coordinates of the Divine Realm?"
Wu Tong nodded, saying noncommittally, "So next, I need to go back and deal with some matters in the Divine Realm."
"I'm afraid there won't be time to travel with you anymore. You'll have to enjoy the rest of the trip on your own!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Shayan expressed her understanding. "We must first pacify the internal situation before we can fight external threats! I understand, I understand. Go ahead, don't worry about us..."
Upon hearing Feng Shayan's words, Wu Tong rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, with all the things I left behind, why would I worry about you? I'd rather worry about those who messed with you!"
Having said that, Wu Tong ignored the women's reactions and turned his gaze to the remaining three people:
Admiral Level fighter, Fujitora Issho.
Yonko Vice Level fighter, the world's greatest Great Swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk.
Garp, Navy Hero with Admiral-Yonko Level combat power.
These three people, plus the far-off Admiral-Yonko Level combat power, Fleet Marshal Sengoku, and two maids who were just there to make up the numbers.
These six people were the talents Wu Tong recruited during this trip.
However, three out of the six people were unable to go for various reasons.
(Robin and Vivi were persuaded by the other women to travel with them, while Sengoku couldn't go because he was busy with official duties.)
In the end, only Hawkeye, Issho, and Garp remained, unsure if they could leave.
Wu Tong gathered everyone together not only to explain his impending departure, but also because...
Another purpose was to inquire about the three people's plans.
"What are your plans for the three of you? Are you coming with me to the Douluo World, or will you stay in this world?"
Wu Tong's question had just come out.
The three people immediately gave their answer:
Yi Xiao: "I'll go with you. After hearing your story, I've always been very interested in the scene Order of another world!"
Hawkeye: "Let's go together. I want to see the Sword Dao of this Otherworld and maybe even learn a thing or two from them!"
Garp: "Aha... Of course I'm going along. Otherworld, huh? That sounds really interesting. I'll definitely go and see for myself."
Before Wu Tong could even react to Garp's reply, Bogart's voice followed immediately:
"Vice Admiral Garp... you can't go! You still have a mission. If you go, Sengoku Marshal Sengoku will go crazy!"
Garp shook his head, seemingly unconcerned about Sengoku's rage. "Tch, what's there to be afraid of? Relax, relax... It's not like we haven't done this before. We can just go take a look and come back! Besides, this is Otherworld, you know..."
"Vice Admiral Garp, you..."
"Dili li... Dili li..."
Before Bogart could finish speaking, Sengoku's Den Den Mushi called directly.
When Den Den Mushi Den Den Mushi is connected, it immediately transforms into Sengoku shape.
Immediately afterwards, Sengoku's voice came over. "Garp, you old bastard, you're not allowed to go."
"After Wu Tong and the others return, you will be responsible for protecting Miss Elysia and the others, and while you're at it, take care of the tasks I assigned to you a while ago!"
"Did you hear that, Garp..."
Listening to Sengoku's incessant chatter, Garp grinned, revealing a familiar smile.
Meanwhile, Sengoku, who saw that smile through the Den Den Mushi: This is bad! Every time that old man shows that smile, nothing good ever comes of it...
And things unfolded exactly as he had expected.
The next moment, Garp's voice came through the Den Den Mushi: "Hey, Sengoku, why don't you just leave the missions to Bogart?"
"You know his capabilities; he'll definitely be able to complete the mission."
"As for Miss Elysia and the others... they're much stronger than me! They don't need my protection at all!"
Although Garp hadn't seen Elysia make a move in the past few days, he wasn't blind.
There are quite a few discussions about the combat strength of the Flame-Chasers in the Soul Net System's chat forum.
As the second strongest fighter among the Flame-Chasers, Elysia's strength is undoubtedly top-notch.
Therefore, with just a little thought, one can deduce that Elysia's strength far surpasses that of himself.
If they really stay, then it's hard to say whether they'll be protecting them or the other way around.
"Garp ..."
Sengoku's face darkened upon hearing Garp's sophistry.
Didn't he know about this?
How is that possible?!
If even Garp could notice something, how could he, as a "strategist," not know it?
So here's the question: if Sengoku knew Elysia and the others' strength, why did he go to the trouble of having Garp protect Elysia?
That's of course...
Just putting on an act, showing off a bit.
After all, sometimes you have to learn to read between the lines and try to show your value. Only in this way can you gain the appreciation of your superiors in the workplace!
