"Also, I discovered a secret!"
The voice coming from Den Den Mushi made Garp a little confused, and he immediately cursed, "Smelly boy, hurry up, or else next time we meet, I will let you feel Fist of Love!"
"Okay, old man, I found that Takenaka Kaguya's appearance has not changed at all. He is still exactly the same as when I first saw him at Marine Headquarters."
When Dragon heard this threat, the scene where he was taught a lesson by Garp with his fists as an hour later also appeared in his mind.
He immediately told Garp the secret he discovered.
Upon hearing this, Garp frowned.
He believed that his son was not lying. Takenaka Kaguya had been in the navy for more than ten years, but his appearance had not changed, as if time had no effect on him.
Moreover, the Navy and Intelligence Department of World Government have not given up investigating the origins of Takenaka Kaguya over the years.
However, no matter how you investigate, Takenaka Kaguya seems to appear out of thin air, and Sangpo doesn't know his origin!
Thinking of this, Garp finally said, "The secret you discovered is irrelevant. The top priority now is to determine whether Takenaka Kaguya is really what you said, and the target is Luffy and them.
It would not be a good thing if a top powerhouse like him really targets Luffy and the others!"
At this point, before Dragon could say anything, Garp stood up and continued, "Since you are injured, you should take good care of your injuries. Next, Luffy and their safety will be left to me!"
"Okay, old man, you must be careful." Dragon warned with concern, and then the father and son ended the call Den Den Mushi.
Garp was sitting in the office, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. After a while, he picked up Den Den Mushi and contacted Zephyr.
A few days later, Alabasta Kingdom, Rainbase.
Takenaka Kaguya looked at the dusty old man in front of him and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. However, after seeing that one of the other's arms had disappeared and was replaced by a mechanical arm, the smile on his face instantly dissipated.
"Zephyr, your arm..." Takenaka Kaguya said.
Yes, the person who came here is none other than Zephyr, who took over as Marine Admiral.
And he has already lost one of his arms. It is obvious that the tragedy about Zephyr in the original work still happened.
"Oh, I met a very strong guy, and I was old, so he cut off my arm!" Zephyr laughed and said helplessly.
Hearing this, Takenaka Kaguya nodded, but in his heart he was thinking about the plot of One Piece's original work.
Originally, he thought that his arrival had changed the fate of Zephyr. After all, Zephyr's son did not survive in the original work.
Today, Tanaka is living a good life, and his strength has reached the level of Marine Admiral.
Therefore, he paid little attention to Zephyr's affairs.
Who would have thought that after so many years of not seeing each other, Zephyr's arm would still be cut off?
"Who is he? I asked that boy Tanaka to avenge you.
Now Tanaka's strength has surpassed that of you when he first became Marine Admiral. If he knew, he would definitely be willing to avenge you." Takenaka Kaguya asked.
"No, you don't have to tell Tanaka." Zephyr quickly waved his hand and refused.
As a former Marine Admiral, he has his own dignity. As a father, he is even more unwilling to let his son work hard for his affairs.
In addition, from Zephyr's point of view, he has taught Tanaka too little over the years, so he has no shame in letting Tanaka worry about his affairs.
"Zephyr..."
Seeing his refusal, Takenaka Kaguya was about to say something, but Zephyr directly told Teuchi: "That's it, I will avenge myself.
And I came here to see you this time because of Garp's request."
"Garp?"
Takenaka Kaguya was stunned for a moment, then understood.
Dragon must have told Garp about the injury, and the time when he appeared at Loguetown was too coincidental, so Dragon thought he was going to attack Monkey D. Luffy and others, or had some other conspiracy.
Thinking of this, Takenaka Kaguya couldn't help laughing, and immediately looked at Zephyr and said, "I probably already know your purpose, don't worry, I have no idea about Garp's grandson.
Otherwise, even in front of that brat Dragon, he couldn't stop me from doing what I wanted to do."
"Huh, that's good." Zephyr breathed a sigh of relief.
On the one hand, Garp is his comrade-in-arms, with decades of friendship here, and on the other hand, Takenaka Kaguya is his son Tanaka's mentor. If the two sides really want to get serious, it will be very difficult for him to be caught in the middle.
"Well, by the way, how is that guy Garp's health? I haven't seen him for so many years. Isn't he too old to move anymore?" Takenaka Kaguya joked with a smile.
"That's not to say, Garp's strength is still at its peak, and it's not like he is too old to move now.
But, Takenaka, after so many years, do you still hold grudge against Garp and Sengoku for preventing you from taking action against Roger Pirates?" Zephyr shook his head and explained, then asked with some worry.
"Hahaha, I didn't have time to settle accounts with these two guys Garp and Sengoku.
Over the years, this matter has been pressing in my heart. Although it does not affect me in any way, I feel that the matter has not been explained yet, and it always makes me feel very unhappy every time I think about it.
After all, if Sengoku and Garp hadn't stopped him, that guy Roger wouldn't have been able to become the so-called King of the Sea, and now there wouldn't be the so-called Great Pirate Era."
Although Takenaka Kaguya did not answer directly, Zephyr also heard the thoughts in his words.
"I understand, that incident was indeed the fault of Sengoku and Garp. However, it has been so many years since the incident. Just forget what you should forget."
At this point, Zephyr started to fight, his eyes swept up and down Takenaka Kaguya and he continued to speak seriously, "By the way, Takenaka, are you a pirate now?"
"Hahaha, pirates and the like are never among my choices.
Otherwise, I would not have accepted your invitation to join the navy.
Well, you can think of me as those guys from the Revolutionary Army." Takenaka Kaguya laughed and said.
"That's good, let's go. Tell Tanaka for me that you can visit his mother's grave when you have time." Zephyr nodded and walked outside as he said this.
In this regard, Takenaka Kaguya did not stop him. He was fully aware of Zephyr's current psychology.
However, he is not everyone's savior, and he doesn't want to waste time doing something because of Zephyr.
A few minutes later, Crocodile walked in. He looked at Takenaka Kaguya with a smile and said, "Boss, this Alabasta has been really lively recently. Not only The former Marine Admiral Zephyr is here, and even Second Division Commander and Fire Fist Ace of Whitebeard Pirates are here too!"
Hearing this, Takenaka Kaguya nodded, Whitebeard Something happened on the ship, Blackbeard was just like in the original work, after Yami Yami no Mi appeared, he couldn't control his ambition and directly killed Whitebeard Pirates, the captain of the fourth division, Thatch.
And Ace is just like in the original work, a man is searching for traces of Blackbeard all over the world.
"Are you interested in Fire Fist Ace?" Takenaka Kaguya asked.
"Hahaha, to be honest, boss, I am indeed a little interested. A few days ago, Blackbeard, who defected from the Whitebeard Pirates ship, contacted me and wanted me to help capture Fire Fist Ace. He can give me a reward of one billion Beli.
In addition, I think Whitebeard Pirates has been staying with New World for too long, and it's time to get rid of that guy Whitebeard." Crocodile laughed, and then said truthfully.
"Blackbeard? Haha, I didn't expect that Whitebeard still didn't take my reminder to him to heart.
That little black fat guy back then has now begun to stir up troubles!" Takenaka Kaguya nodded and said with some emotion.
Upon hearing this, Crocodile thought that Takenaka Kaguya did not agree with him taking action against Ace, so he immediately said, "Boss, do you think it's inappropriate? Then I'll just pretend I didn't see Fire Fist Ace."
"No, no, you can do whatever you want, don't worry about what I think.
However, your strength has not improved much over the years. It can almost be said that you are still standing still.
It seems that you have forgotten what I told you before." Takenaka Kaguya waved his hand and said indifferently.
At the end of the sentence, he shook his head and sighed, a flash of disappointment in his eyes.
You know, when Crocodile came out from New World, his strength had already reached the level of Marine Admiral. After so many years, according to the previous speed of progress, he has been able to steadily suppress the current navy Three Admirals.
However, I just took a closer look and found that Crocodile's strength has not improved much.
On the side, Crocodile showed a guilty look on his face, and he quickly saluted and said, "I'm sorry, boss, I disappoint you."
"No need to apologize, everyone has their own way to go, and there are some things that you need to experience yourself before you know which way to go.
After all, people can't teach others, but things can teach people, once is enough.
Forget it, let's not talk about this. I'm coming here this time. Firstly, I haven't seen you for many years and come here to have a look. Secondly, Straw Hat Pirates, the grandson of Garp, Straw Hat Pirates of Monkey·D·Luffy, has come to Alabasta.
I told Garp at the beginning that he should not regret it, but it is a pity that after so many years, I have never found a chance to teach Garp a lesson.
As for Straw Hat Pirates, if I use my strength to deal with them, it might seem like bullying the small, so it's up to you to take action. Anyway, you are still Shichibukai. If you deal with them, no one can say anything." Takenaka Kaguya waved his hand and said.
"Straw Hat Pirates? I know the boss, how far do I need to go?" Crocodile nodded and asked immediately.
"It's up to you, you can do whatever you want." Takenaka Kaguya said nonchalantly.
He also wants to see if, with Crocodile's strength in this life, he will be defeated by Monkey D. Luffy, the chosen one who doesn't know any Haki, just like in the original work?
"Okay, boss, I understand!"
Crocodile I respectfully agree.
The two chatted for a while. Not long after Zhu Crocodile left, a tall and beautiful woman came in.
"Uncle?"
As soon as she walked in, the woman was stunned for a moment, and soon became pleasantly surprised.
"Hahaha, it's you, Robin. I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect you to grow up to be a big girl!" Takenaka Kaguya looked over, and after seeing the other person's appearance clearly, he laughed.
"It's really you, uncle, why are you here?" Nicole Robin said in surprise.
After saying that, he quickly came to Takenaka Kaguya and gave him a hug.
Patting Robin's head gently, Takenaka Kaguya smiled and explained, "Crocodile is mine, I came to see him.
It's just that I didn't expect that you would still come here."
"Or?" Nicole·Robin was a little confused.
"Hahaha, I'm glad to see you here.
By the way, your mother is still alive. If you want to see her, you can go to New World Golden Lion's territory to find her." Takenaka Kaguya made a haha and changed the subject.
I can only say that Robin is getting smarter and smarter. Reading so many books is not in vain.
Just because of the flaw in his words, I could tell something was wrong.
"Really, that's great. Thank you uncle for telling me this news. I will definitely go to New World to see her as soon as possible." Robin was very happy when he heard that his mother was still alive.
However, after living on the run for so many years, her dependence on Olvia is no longer so deep.
Over the years, although Takenaka Kaguya asked A and others to secretly protect Robin, they would not show up until the moment of life and death.
Therefore, Robin's life in these years is not much better than in the original work.
"Well, tell me, how have you been these past years?" Takenaka Kaguya sat down, looked at Robin and said seriously.
"Okay, uncle, since Ohara..."
In this way, it wasn't until dawn that Robin finished talking about what happened over the years, and even concealed some miserable experiences.
After listening, Takenaka Kaguya gently rubbed her head and said warmly, "You have suffered a lot these years, but Robin, the suffering will eventually pass, and you will have a new life!"
"Hmm, I still remember, uncle, you told me back then that when heaven is about to entrust a great task to this people, they must first suffer from hardships in their minds, muscles and bones, and starvation of their bodies.
I think so too. In the next few years, I have a hunch that I will change my painful life!" Robin nodded obediently.
At this moment, Chunin could not help but ring in her mind that heartless Straw Hat!
Under the shroud of Advanced Observation Haki, Robin's psychological activities were clearly seen.
Takenaka Kaguya couldn't help but sigh, "Destiny is really magical, some people will meet each other eventually.
Okay, Robin, I'll give you this Den Den Mushi. If you want to see your mother or are in trouble, you can dial this Den Den Mushi."
Looking at the Den Den Mushi handed over by Takenaka Kaguya, Robin was stunned for a moment, then realized it and said with some reluctance, "Uncle, are you leaving?"
"Well, I still have to meet someone. After meeting, I will return to New World.
After all, the storm is coming, and it's time for me to add a new fire to this world!"
