The Situation Is Serious—He's Going to Be Locked Up in Impel Down!

The one who had come forward to speak was...

The Navy Fleet Admiral, Sengoku!

Walking shoulder to shoulder with Sengoku was none other than Garp!

"Great!"

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp are here!"

All the Marines fixed their eyes on Sengoku and Garp. As though they had seen hope, they began cheering excitedly.

"Oh no!"

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the legendary Marine Garp are both here!"

"Looks like this fight won't happen after all. Anyone who doesn't want to be caught by the Marines, get out of here!"

The pirates who had been secretly watching the battle also fled in panic when they saw Sengoku and Garp arrive.

Likewise.

Upon seeing Sengoku and Garp's arrival.

Roya, Sakazuki, and the others stopped their preparations to continue fighting.

"Sakazuki! Kuzan! Borsalino!"

"What is wrong with you three?"

"I sent you to stop Roya. Who told you to start fighting and destroy three islands?"

The first thing Fleet Admiral Sengoku did upon arriving was sternly reprimand Sakazuki and the other two.

Meanwhile, Garp walked over to Roya.

Before Garp could speak to Roya, Sakazuki viciously spoke up first.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, is this the Fourth Admiral you personally promoted? He actually dared to publicly kill a Celestial Dragon!" Sakazuki said.

"What!?"

Hearing that, Sengoku and Garp were both stunned at the same time.

Then.

When Sengoku turned and saw Saint Charlos's corpse, still guarded by numerous Marines nearby, he froze in disbelief.

He had originally thought Roya had merely beaten up a Celestial Dragon. He never expected matters to have escalated this far.

Sengoku truly had a miserable look on his face now.

If Roya had only beaten up a Celestial Dragon, Sengoku might still have been able to persuade those above to show Roya leniency.

But once Roya had killed a Celestial Dragon, this matter definitely would not be so easily resolved.

"Roya, you..." Sengoku, whose face had turned utterly sour, glanced at Roya and stopped himself, not knowing what to say.

"Roya, honestly."

"Why did you have to kill a Celestial Dragon?"

Garp asked.

"Celestial Dragons? These human trash are nothing but useless scum. So what if I killed them?" Roya did not think he had done anything wrong.

"Ha ha ha ha, you're absolutely right about that."

"I've wanted to beat them up plenty of times myself."

"But still, there was no need to kill them. You could've just used your Haki from a distance. Those pieces of trash wouldn't have been able to withstand it anyway. Ah ha ha ha ha!"

Not only did Garp not blame Roya, he burst into laughter and even joked with him, clearly not taking the matter seriously at all.

"Garp!" Sengoku was practically about to explode with anger.

"Roya!"

"No matter the reason, killing a Celestial Dragon will inevitably provoke Mary Geoise. You must understand that the Marines are subordinate to the World Government!"

"What you did completely violated your responsibilities as a Marine Admiral!"

Sengoku reprimanded Roya.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, does being a Marine Admiral mean becoming a Celestial Dragon's lapdog?"

"If that's the case, then I can do without being a Marine Admiral!"

Roya retorted without the slightest hesitation, his tone firm and resolute.

To Roya, being a Marine Admiral was completely optional. When he had first crossed into this world, he had already been a Marine, so he had simply continued down that path.

Now that Roya's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, whether he remained in the Marines no longer held any particular meaning.

"You..."

Sengoku had originally wanted to continue reprimanding Roya, but his Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.

The moment he saw it ringing, Sengoku frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he still went off to the side and answered it.

"No need to guess."

"It must be Mary Geoise. The Five Elders are holding us accountable!"

Garp suddenly became serious.

He looked at Roya, then continued, "Kid, you've really gotten yourself into big trouble this time."

Roya merely smiled in response and said nothing.

The Five Elders?

So what?

After a long while.

Sengoku returned to Roya after hanging up the Den Den Mushi, his expression extremely grave.

"Sengoku..."

Garp wanted to say something, but Sengoku immediately cut him off. "Garp, don't say anything."

Then, Sengoku turned to Roya.

"Roya!"

"Your situation is extremely serious."

"But I still secured an opportunity for you. For now, you will be temporarily imprisoned in Impel Down."

Sengoku said through gritted teeth.

"Imprison me in Impel Down? What if I say I don't want to go?" Roya smiled.

All of a sudden.

A powerful Conqueror's Haki surged from Roya's body like a beast breaking free from its cage. If he did not suppress it in time, it would erupt completely.

Honestly.

If Roya was unwilling, everyone present—even if Garp, Sengoku, and the three Admirals joined forces—might not be able to stop him.

Seeing that things were going wrong, Garp hurriedly reached out and placed a hand on Roya's shoulder, first shaking his head to signal him.

In truth, whether Garp or Sengoku.

They both knew very well that if Roya truly turned against them, everyone here might genuinely be unable to suppress him.

"Roya, calm down."

"I believe Sengoku has already secured the best possible outcome."

"As for what comes next, besides Sengoku, I will also do everything in my power to help you."

"And I guarantee you with the honor of my entire life that the Marines will never be the Celestial Dragons' lapdogs!"

Garp declared solemnly, thumping his chest.

"That's right!"

"Roya, rest assured. You're only going to Impel Down temporarily. I'll definitely find a solution afterward."

Sengoku shared the same attitude.

Clearly.

Both Sengoku and Garp thought highly of Roya. Whether for the Marines of today or the future, they needed powerful fresh blood like Roya to maintain the Marines' standing.

After all, they had personally witnessed Roya's terrifying strength. On top of that, he was still so young. His future was boundless.

Seeing the resolute expressions on Sengoku and Garp's faces, Roya finally reined in his aura. Then he shrugged, looking utterly unconcerned.

"Fine. I'll give you two some face and go have some fun in Impel Down for now," Roya said.
