Sengoku returned to his office, found a new shirt, put it on, and then stood in front of the mirror to examine himself.
He was in an exceptionally good mood today, and looking at himself in the mirror, a look of admiration appeared on Sengoku's face.
Although I'm already seventy years old, look at my thick, black hair, I only look fifty.
What? You're saying this is dyed?
What's wrong with dyeing it? Does it have to look like that old man Garp? Men need to be presentable too!
The more Sengoku looked at himself, the more pleasing he seemed to be. He couldn't help but puff out his chest, clench his right fist, and strike a pose.
However, he forgot to close the door when he came in, and Corazon rushed in, shouting with joy.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Vice Admiral Purple Kirin... Hmm?"
Corazon blinked at Sengoku, who was still posing in front of the mirror, and said hesitantly,
"Excuse me, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I noticed the door wasn't closed. Um, did I disturb you?"
Although Sengoku wasn't facing him directly, Corazon still saw through the mirror that Sengoku's face was flushed red and his lips were twitching uncontrollably.
Sengoku was in a state of turmoil. He vowed that he would install a double door on his office from now on!
However, befitting his rank as Fleet Admiral, he slowly turned around and naturally brought his fist, which had been held horizontally in front of his chest, to his mouth.
"Ahem, it's Corazon. What did you just say? What happened to Vice Admiral Purple Kirin?"
"Vice Admiral Purple Kirin is back! And this time he's brought some new recruits with him!"
Upon hearing the mention of Senga, Sengoku's initially somewhat awkward expression immediately brightened with joy, especially after learning that Senga had brought back some newcomers—it was truly a double celebration!
The character and potential of the person Senga brought back are beyond doubt. Sengoku now absolutely in love with Senga and can't wait to see him.
He said excitedly,
"It's Senga back! Quick, let him—no, I'll go myself!"
After saying that, Sengoku strode out of the office. Before Corazon could even react, Sengoku had already disappeared from his sight.
Coming to his senses, Corazon quickly chased after him, shouting,
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you've come to the wrong place! Lieutenant Vice Admiral Purple Kirin hasn't gone back to his office; he's right in front of the headquarters building!"
In front of the headquarters building,
Senga stood there with his arms crossed and Aokiji with one hand in his pocket, the two heavyweights of the Navy quietly enjoying Garp's "performance" on the ground.
Just now Senga used the Flying Thunder God to return to his office. After releasing Kalifa alone, he very conscientiously handed over all the tasks that had accumulated during this period to Kalifa.
Under Kalifa's beautiful and charming disdainful Byakugan, Senga walked out of the office. On the way, he ran into Corazon, Corazon greeted him excitedly as soon as he saw him, and then rushed off to inform Sengoku.
Senga originally wanted to go find Zephyr to see if her stubborn teacher had eaten the Devil Fruit he had given her.
Of course, Senga mainly wanted to see what the Ox-King Fruit looked like; the abilities of Mythical Zoan are quite interesting.
To his surprise, as soon as he stepped out of the building, he saw a group of naval soldiers gathered there, including Aokiji.
This piqued his interest, so he temporarily stopped and joined the "Civilization Viewer Garp" group. Aokiji greeted him, and Senga nodded in return.
Speaking of Garp,
He had been lying on the cold ground for half an hour, muttering "The Sengoku has changed, the Sengoku has changed" over and over, looking just like a resentful woman.
Some soldiers tried to persuade Garp to let him up, saying it would damage his image, but Garp simply rebuked them.
Garp declared that he didn't care about any image whatsoever, and that he wouldn't get up unless Sengoku personally came to help him up!
Looking at the defiant Garp on the ground, Senga revealed a very wicked smile, which made Aokiji beside him shudder.
Aokiji looked at Senga with apprehension, thinking that Chiga's strength had increased again. As Devil Fruit User, he had actually been made to shudder. This was simply outrageous!
The reason Senga showed such an evil smile was because he thought of something very interesting: Ace and Yamato were still in his Door-Door Space.
Yamato didn't care, but Ace was different. He deliberately didn't release Ace at this time so that he could enjoy his grandfather's performance.
I wonder how Garp will react when he finds out Ace has been watching him. Will his proud "Iron Fist of Love" be unable to swing again?
At this moment, within Senga's Door-Door Space,
Ace stared blankly through the spatial barrier at Garp lying on the ground outside, throwing a tantrum. He couldn't believe that this was the Iron Fist Garp who had once bullied him and Luffy with his iron fist.
Yamato was unaware of Ace's relationship with Garp. She assumed Senga was her mentor, so she copied Senga, crossing her arms and offering her expert opinion.
"Who's that old man lying on the ground? He's such a coward, I really want to go out and punch him!"
Ace's lips twitched twice. He didn't refute it, but even nodded in agreement.
"That's really pathetic. I want to punch him too!"
Garp was outside, was unaware that his image in Ace's eyes had been utterly destroyed. At that moment, he was looking at the blazing sun in the sky with a frustrated expression.
He's been lying on the ground for over half an hour now, why isn't Sengoku here yet?! Doesn't he know it's unbearably hot today? Can he really bear to watch him, at seventy years old, stand here in the sun?
Although he wasn't afraid of the high temperatures, he couldn't stand the heat making him feel uncomfortable all over. Garp couldn't help but glance at Aokiji standing there and shouted,
"Kuzan! Stop standing there like an idiot, use your power to cool things down, it's killing me with heat!"
Aokiji was obedient. Upon hearing Garp's request, he immediately released freezing air, forming a thin layer of ice on the ground where Garp was lying. Garp's expression immediately softened. With this kind of treatment, he could lie there all day.
Suddenly, Sengoku rushed out of the headquarters building. As soon as he came out, his eyes were precisely fixed on Senga, and he even automatically filtered out Aokiji standing next to Senga.
Sengoku shouted directly,
"Senga, well done this time! Let me see the new talent you brought back!"
Upon hearing Sengoku's voice, Garp, who was lying on the ground, brightened up, thinking, "Can't hold it in anymore, huh? You haven't been feeling guilty for the past half hour, have you? You old codger, you still care about yourself after all!"
While thinking this to himself, Garp remained outwardly calm, even closing his eyes to await Sengoku's arrival.
However, Sengoku did come over, but as soon as he arrived, he pulled Senga back, without even glancing at Garp on the ground.
Finally, Aokiji weakly offered a reminder.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp is still lying on the ground..."
Upon hearing Garp's name, Sengoku frowned, thinking to himself that Kuzan really had no sense of propriety; such a good atmosphere had been ruined by a certain Tianlai Novel Network!
He glanced sideways at Garp lying on the ground, chuckled dismissively, and said,
"Really? I didn't see anyone on the ground. Alright, everyone disperse. Senga, you're coming back to the office with me!"
After saying that, Sengoku grabbed Senga and ran off in a flash.
The people around looked at each other in bewilderment. Since the Fleet Admiral Sengoku had given the order, there was no need for them to stay any longer, so they all dispersed.
Aokiji glanced at Garp, who was still lying on the ground, with a sympathetic look, shook his head, and silently left.
As everyone dispersed, only Garp remained lying alone on the ground in front of the massive headquarters building, gazing up at the sky from a 180-degree angle.
So, love can transfer, right?
