"Hiss!"
Seeing the actions of the three middle-aged and elderly people, Luo Wen couldn't help but gasp.
This makes it seem like he's abducting women.
But it's one thing if he really did abduct a woman, but he only did so because of Gion, specifically by abducting this old woman, Tsuru.
Upon hearing that Vice Admiral Tsuru had surrendered, Luo Wen quickly released his grip, freeing Vice Admiral Tsuru.
He didn't want to act out a middle-aged or elderly version of a kidnapping of a woman; that would be too grotesque.
Sengoku and Garp also calmed down and stopped thinking about causing trouble for Luo Wen.
Sengoku said with some sadness, "I'm sorry, Lord Luo Wen, we acted impulsively. After careful consideration, it's better for A-He to go with you."
Garp said the same thing, "Tsuru, you should just stay in the Neo Marines. I'll bring my grandson to visit you when I retire."
The navy has become like this; leaving Tsuru here will only cause more trouble.
"You two don't need to wait any longer, come with me today."
"Luo Wen said to Garp and Sengoku."
"I will not join the Neo Marines. I will stay in the Navy and perish with it."
"Sengoku," he said firmly.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you have one last chance to reconsider," Luo Wen said with a smile. "If you don't join, you'll become a major enemy of the Neo Marines, and I'll have to capture you and hand you over to Admiral Zephyr."
"And you, Vice Admiral Garp, although Luffy is the son of my partner, the Neo Marines. He must also be captured and handed over to Admiral Zephyr for reformation."
"Hand me over to Zephyr to look after?" Sengoku felt extremely uncomfortable at the thought of that scene.
Zephyr was his old comrade-in-arms. Although they had some conflicts due to the World Government, they were still brothers as close as iron.
He also killed Whitebeard Jr.., avenging Zephyr's loss of an arm.
However, if he were captured by Luo Wen and handed over to Zephyr, he would surely be ridiculed severely.
This would be worse than just killing him!
"We're going to capture Luffy and send him back to Zephyr for training?" Garp was pleasantly surprised. "Luo Wen, I'm definitely going to take over that Neo Marines!"
He was struggling to teach Luffy, unexpectedly, Luo Wen immediately provided him with a renowned teacher.
Zephyr was the chief instructor of the Navy, and he had trained countless naval officers.
Even the toughest troublemakers in the navy can be completely subdued in his hands.
His godson Ace was executed by Akainu, and his Deserter King apprentice was executed by the Five Elders.
He has no attachment to the navy anymore; he definitely can't stay here any longer.
His only wish now is to bring Luffy back to his senses.
Being a pirate never ends well, especially when the enemy is Luo Wen, which guarantees certain death.
Going to the Neo Marines to find Zephyr and train Luffy together is indeed a good way out.
Thinking of this, Garp immediately advised his old friend Sengoku: "Don't hold back! You can't beat him anyway. If you agree, you'll go to the Neo Marines in style; if you don't, you'll go to the Neo Marines as a prisoner."
"It's better to be dignified. You should just give in, Sengoku!"
His words were a deliberate attempt to put down the Sengoku.
After all, Ace's death still left him with some resentment towards Sengoku.
Of course, he was telling the truth. Whether or not to go was not up to the Sengoku period.
Seeing that things had come to this point, and that it was a foregone conclusion that Luo Wen had taken control of the upper echelons of the navy, Vice Admiral Tsuru could only accept his fate.
So, at this moment, he advised, "Sengoku, just agree honestly. You don't want Zephyr to laugh at you, do you?"
After employing multiple methods simultaneously, the people of the Sengoku were completely bewildered.
Now, there was no way to refuse.
If Luo Wen catches him in the Neo Marines, it won't just be Zephyr; other Marines who previously switched sides will be waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
In the end, Sengoku had no choice but to compromise. "Luo Wen, I agree to join the Neo Marines. However, I don't need the position of Admiral; just give me the position of Disciplinary Officer."
For a Fleet Admiral to become Admiral in the Neo Marines is utterly shameless.
I'll just act as a discipline officer, keeping an eye on discipline and atmosphere, and consider it as guiding the development of the Neo Marines.
In that case, his explanation is somewhat plausible.
"Welcome to the team, Neo Marines Sengoku Grand Inspector."
Luo Wen saw through Sengoku's little scheme, but he didn't show any displeasure.
He looked at the large group of high-ranking naval officers behind him, quite satisfied.
Fleet Admiral, two Admiral, a naval hero, and a naval chief of staff.
Aside from Akainu, who seems to have been taken away by Saint Saturn and Saint Nusjuro, he basically took down all the other top-ranking officers of the Navy.
In addition, with the 256 Devil Fruit he obtained from Impel Down, the entire Neo Marines now have the resources to take over the entire world.
He is not far from defeating the World Government and completely taking over the world.
When the time comes, I must personally rip off Imu's mask and see what kind of guy he really is.
By this time, he had fully achieved his purpose in coming to Marine Headquarters, and it was time for him to leave.
"Kaido, take us to Dressrosa."
Luo Wen issued the order using the power of Command Spell.
"Roar!"
Kaido roared and reluctantly transformed into a 600-meter-long Azure Dragon.
Luo Wen onto the dragon's head, while Sengoku, Aokiji, Kizaru, Tsuru, Garp flanked Luffy atop the dragon's body.
The Azure Dragon soared straight into the sky, heading towards Dressrosa.
Before leaving, Luo Wen uttered a single sentence. "Fellow Marines, those who wish to join the Neo Marines, go to Dressrosa! There you will find all the justice you desire!"
The remaining 50,000 Marines at Marine Headquarters were dumbfounded as they watched the Azure Dragon carry Luo Wen and the entire highest ranks of the Navy away.
The entire high command of the Navy has disappeared. (Akainu was taken away.)
"The Fleet Admiral and the others have gone to the Neo Marines, what should we do?"
"Is there anyone here who can make decisions?"
"The navy is finished! All the big shots have fled!"
Whether they were elite Vice Admiral or junior officers transferred from the branch, they were all completely bewildered.
Of the Navy's highest-ranking Admiral Akainu remains; the rest have all defected to the opposing side.
The Neo Marines suddenly became incredibly powerful, while their navy was reduced to just a handful of small dogs.
Of course, even now they still have a numerical advantage.
The entire Marine Headquarters has 50,000 elite troops, and the branches have millions of ordinary naval personnel.
But having experienced the Marineford War, they understood that numbers don't matter.
For powerful figures like Admiral Four Emperors, it wouldn't be difficult for one person to wipe out 100,000 of their marines if there weren't corresponding powerful figures to stop them.
Especially that Godslayer; if that God-Slaying Spear had been fired at Marine Headquarters instead of the sky, none of them would have survived.
The thought of facing the Neo Marines, which has several Admiral and is led by Godslayer, made many marines feel nauseous.
This is not an opponent they should be facing.
"Do I really have to become enemies with the Neo Marines?" the Marines muttered to themselves, then thought, "But the current Navy is no longer worth fighting for!"
Suddenly, the navy remembered what Luo Wen had said when he left.
Go to Dressrosa! All justice resides there!
The moment the thought of surrender arises, the world expands in an instant.
The Marine Headquarters and Marine Branch around the world could no longer sit still, and countless warships headed towards Dressrosa.
The glorious Neo Marines era has begun!
