Sea Star.
Holy Land, Mary Geoise.
Garp, draped in a spotless white coat, walked alone through the shade of the trees.
Following the azure river beside him, he slowly approached the majestic, towering castle.
Sengoku had originally wanted to come with him, but the Five Elders had said that Lord Imu wished to see him alone.
Garp could guess why Imu wanted to see him.
It had to be because he had awakened Colorless Haki.
He just did not know which way this meeting would go.
For better? Or worse?
That left Garp uneasy. He liked his current life, and he liked the current World Government.
He still wanted to watch his young grandson grow up, train him into an outstanding Navy Admiral, and perhaps even help him master Colorless Haki.
So if possible, he did not want any conflict with Imu.
But who knew whether Lord Imu might strike at him out of apprehension?
Thinking about it carefully, the possibility was not low at all.
That was also why Sengoku had wanted to come with him earlier.
For that reason, Garp, who was usually all smiles, wore an exceptionally grave expression now, especially with the aura unconsciously emanating from him.
It caused the Holy Land Garrison knights guarding the great iron gate to suddenly stiffen all over, fear rising in their hearts.
"Hmm?"
Garp looked doubtfully at the iron gate before him, which had yet to move.
"Why aren't you opening the gate for this old man?"
Garp shot an unhappy glance at a knight beside him who appeared to be a squad captain.
Yet that single glance made the mid-ranking knight stumble back three steps, the spear in his hands trembling.
That gave Garp a momentary pause, but he quickly realized why.
Soon, he drew back his aura.
