"What?"
Unexpectedly, Akira would give himself such a task after such a long time. Garp was not happy on the spot. He pulled the dog-head hat off his head and said dissatisfied, "Akira, do you have any prejudice against me?" Zephyr and Sengoku have become the rotating duty Five Elders. Why did they get here? It's just an insignificant matter. It's just that I was asked to replace Zephyr as the instructor, but they actually asked me to catch these brats!"
"What? Do you also want to be Five Elders?"
Akira blinked and said simply, "As long as you bring all the brats on the list to our headquarters, I will let you become the next round of Agricultural God Chamber of Power!"
"Really?"
Garp's eyes lit up instantly, "Can I also become Five Elders? Aren't you afraid that I will blow up Saturn, Izambaron and Worcester?"
Akira waved his hand. "It doesn't matter, they are immortal, even if you blow them up, they won't die!"
"Ah hahaha, I accepted this mission!"
I didn't expect that it would be so easy to become Five Elders, and I would beat Saturn and the three of them without any problems. Garp was in a good mood instantly. He grabbed the list and ran out of the office as if he was afraid that Akira would regret it.
"Vice Admiral Garp, why are you here Headquarters Building?"
Garp As soon as Fleet Admiral's Office ran out, he was met by a middle-aged man wearing a cape and a jazz hat.
Bogard, Garp's adjutant, a fierce man who is powerful but hides it, and is always by Garp's side.
"Bogard, you came just in time!"
Garp handed the list in his hand to Bogard, and then said, "Take this list and set off with me to East Blue, Akira Marshal gave me a new task, to capture all the brats on this list back to the headquarters!"
"List?"
Bogard was completely stunned, "What kind of kid? You actually let Vice Admiral Garp take action personally?"
As he spoke, Bogard simply opened the list. When he saw the name at the top of the list, his pupils couldn't help but tighten, "Monkey·D·Luffy. Vice Admiral Garp, this... isn't this your grandson?"
As the adjutant beside Garp, and having followed Garp in the God Valley war thirty-two years ago, he naturally knows many secrets of Garp that outsiders don't know.
"Yes, yes, this unfilial grandson has been deeply influenced by Shanks. He has been clamoring to become Pirate King since he was a child. This time Akira Marshal personally named him and brought him to the headquarters. I don't believe that he can go to sea and become a pirate again!"
Hearing this, Bogard glanced at Fleet Admiral's Office with the door closed, then moved closer to Garp, lowered his voice and said, "Vice Admiral Garp, don't you? Are you curious why Lord Marshal suddenly asked you to do this? Since Lord Marshal knows the existence of Luffy, he must also know who Luffy's father is!"
"You don't have to worry about that!"
Garp raised his hand and patted Bogard on the shoulder, "Akira Marshal not only knows who Luffy's father is, but also met Luffy's father, in Fleet Admiral's Office."
After a slight pause, Garp suddenly changed the subject, as if a huge stone had been relieved from his heart, and said with a relaxed face, "Before, I was still hesitant about whether to tell Akira about Luffy. Marshal, now it seems that I am worrying too much. All the things we are worried about are not problems in the eyes of Akira. We can just solve them one by one."
"Let's go, follow me and arrest people according to the list!"
After saying that, Garp simply stepped out.
Bogard didn't dare to neglect, and followed Headquarters Building out.
Soon, the warship Garp set sail out of Marineford and headed straight for East Blue.
"Vice Admiral Garp, have you seen this list?!"
On the deck of the warship, Bogard, who was sitting opposite Garp, looked at the list in his hand and said with doubts in his eyes, "Not all the brats on the list are East Blue, there is even one who is not a human!"
"What do you mean?"
Garp picked up a piece of senbei and threw it into his mouth, slurring his words: "Who is not a human?"
"That's it!" Bogard put the list in front of Garp and pointed to a name on the list, "Brook, image characteristics, skull body, afro head, gentleman's dress."
Garp waved his hands carelessly and said, "Skeletons are just skeletons. Anyway, just arrest them all according to the list and bring them back to the headquarters! As for the others, Akira must have made arrangements!"
After all, Garp was still curious about who else was on the list besides his eldest grandson Luffy, so he took the list over.
"Hmm!"
As soon as his eyes glanced at the list, Garp's pupils suddenly opened wide, and he stood up with a horrified expression.
I saw on the list, after the name Monkey·D·Luffy, the words "Portgas·D·Ace" were written. Not only were there notes about the image characteristics, but also the address.
"How is that possible!"
Seeing the name "Portgas·D·Ace" written on the name list, even Garp, who had experienced many storms, lost his bearings. He looked panicked and said, "Even the full name of Ace is noted. Does it mean that Akira already knows the life experience of Ace?"
Seeing Garp's reaction, Bogard quickly came over. "Vice Admiral Garp, do you know this Ace on the list? Who is he to make you react like this?"
Subconsciously, Garp wanted to find an excuse to cover up the past.
But he immediately thought that Akira and even Ace's full name had been noted on the list, so he obviously already knew the background of Ace.
After a short silence, Garp sighed secretly, nodded slightly and said, "This Ace is the posthumous son of Roger. Before his execution that year, Roger was once entrusted to me alone. After Roger was executed, I found Ace and fostered her in East Blue Kingdom of Goa is in the home of a bandit at Mount Colubo."
"Akira can know his full name. Obviously, he has investigated everything clearly. There is no need for me to hide anything from you anymore!"
"I know!"
Bogard nodded solemnly, "Lord Marshal suddenly entrusted this task to you because he wanted to know what choice you would make."
Garp nodded.
If Akira just asked him to bring Luffy to the headquarters, he would not think of this level. After all, Akira had met Dragon before, and he would not have any prejudice against Luffy because his father was the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
The most important thing is that he has been cultivating Luffy as a successor, hoping that Luffy will become the navy and shoulder the future of the navy. Akira suddenly asked him to bring Luffy to the headquarters, and he was naturally happy to see what happened.
However, when Ace's name appeared on this list, things were not as simple as he thought.
"Sir Vice Admiral, you must not make a choice that disappoints Lord Marshal at this time."
Seeing that Garp fell silent, Bogard sat up straight and said seriously, "Lord Marshal has given the navy unprecedented glory, so that the justice of the navy will no longer be overridden by World Government Celestial Dragons trample, isn't this what we have always wanted to do but have been unable to do? If you continue to hide something from Lord Marshal on this matter, with Lord Marshal's behavior, he will definitely nip all potential threats in the cradle once and for all!"
"Also, maybe this isn't such a bad thing!"
"Because Lord Marshal never said that he would arrest them, but asked you to bring them all back to the headquarters and let him train them personally!"
"This also means that Lord Marshal doesn't care who their descendants are. After all, he is the unparalleled Lord Marshal who even Five Elders has to make concessions. He is fully capable of controlling everything."
"Let alone the descendants of Roger, even if Rocks comes back from the resurrection in the God Valley war, it will not make much trouble in front of Lord Marshal."
