Being looked at by Whitebeard with this look, Garp scratched his head, "Did I say the wrong thing?"
Whitebeard's voice was loud and full of doubts. "Garp? Have you been brainbroken by that guy Kaido? The last time we met was at Marineford Calendar 1497, the melee in front of Roger Execution! It's almost thirty years ago! I see that not only your hair has turned white, but your memory has also degraded like seaweed! Gu la la la!"
He laughed so freely that he was completely unaware of the lethality of his words.
"... Thirty years?" Garp was petrified.
Sengoku's vision went dark, he held on to the side of the ship to keep from falling, and murmured, "1497... thirty years... young Whitebeard... young Roger Pirates... time travel..."
The logical chain seems to be "perfectly" closed.
There was also a crack in Chief Officer Tsuru's calm mask. Looking at the young Whitebeard and Oro Jack, and then thinking about the year "1497", even she began to doubt life.
Fujitora's frown deepened. His Observation Haki could clearly perceive Whitebeard's majestic Life Force and peak Haki. It couldn't be faked, but this timeline... was too confusing! He felt that his "Mantra" was a bit overloaded.
The entire Dog Head is shrouded in a philosophical confusion of "Who am I? Where am I? What year is it now?"
Seeing the soldiers from Fleet Admiral on Dog Head collectively doubting life, expressions dull, worldview completely collapsed, especially Garp's stupid look of "who am I and where am I?", Gaban, who had been holding back for a long time on the Oro·Jack son, finally broke through completely!
"Pfft--hahahahahaha!!!!! I can't do it anymore! I'm so suffocated! Hahahahaha!!"
Gaban held his stomach, laughed so hard, burst into tears, and beat the side of the boat hard that he almost burst out laughing.
"Garp! Sengoku! Tsuru! And that new blind guy Admiral! You... your expressions... hahaha... so wonderful! A hundred times funnier than all the jokes told by Roger put together! Goo-la-la-la!"
Gaban even imitated Whitebeard's signature laugh.
Rayleigh couldn't help but smile and shook his head. He walked up and patted Gaban's shoulder, who was almost laughing. He said loudly in the direction of Dog Head: "Okay, Gaban, stop playing. Everyone, it's been a long time. As you can see, we didn't travel through time, but... some small 'miracles' happened."
Chief Officer Tsuru was the first to recover from the shock, and immediately grasped the core issue, with a hint of urgency in his voice. "Rayleigh! Gaban! How did you do it? Rejuvenate your youth? This is impossible!"
Gaban finally stopped laughing, wiped his tears, made an exaggerated grimace at the crane, and said in an exasperating tone, "Hey, Mrs. He, you want to know? I won't tell you~ It's a little bit~ This is our ship... Ahem, our alliance's Top Tier secrets! Want to know? Surrender before we talk!"
He almost said "Captain" but quickly changed his words.
Whitebeard also suppressed his smile. Murakumogiri slammed the deck, making a dull sound. The terrifying Conqueror's Haki spread like a substance, making the ordinary soldiers on Dog Head feel palpitations and weak legs.
"Gu la la la! The reminiscing and guessing games are over here! Sengoku! Garp! Crane! I give you two choices!"
His voice was loud and full of unquestionable majesty:
"One: Three of our ships joined forces to hammer your Dog Head together with a few of your old bones into the Seabed to feed the fish!"**
"Two: Raise your hands and surrender, come with us! Don't worry, for the sake of many years of 'friendship', you will be in charge of the meal!"
As if to confirm Whitebeard's words, on the other side Sea Area, a warship with the NEO Marines logo broke through the waves.
Standing on the bow of the boat is "Black Arm" Zephyr, who has also regained his youth, has short black hair, intact arms, and fierce momentum!
Although he did not speak, his sharp eyes and the elite NEO Marines soldiers behind him had already made their attitude clear.
The battleships Oro·Jack, Moby Dick, and NEO Marines formed a triangle and tightly surrounded the lone Dog Head in the center.
On the three ships, the crew members showed off their weapons one after another, with joking or Fighting Spirit expressions on their faces. They were so powerful that the sea surface seemed to become oppressive.
Being "played" and "threatened" in this way, Sengoku was so angry that his hair almost stood on end, and he roared, "Asshole! Do you think you can make the navy surrender like this?! Garp! Crane! Get ready..."
"I surrender!"
Before Sengoku could finish his words, he was interrupted by an extremely loud, extremely crisp, and extremely confident voice.
I saw Garp raising his hands high above his head, his movements as standard as if he was well-trained, and there was even a trace of... a relief-like smile on his face?
He completely ignored Sengoku's almost flaming eyes and Chief Officer Tsuru's speechless eyes.
"Sengoku! Tsuru! Look at this lineup!"
Garp tapped his chin at the youthful and powerful old rivals on the three ships around him.
"Peak Rayleigh! Peak Gaban! Peak Newgate! Peak Zephyr! And there are tons of lively brats!"
He flexed his fingers, then spread his hands and said loudly in a tone of "Are you blind?" "How do you beat me? Hit me with your head?! We have old arms and legs with osteoporosis!" Garp glanced at Sengoku.
"Backache, backache, backache!" He glanced at himself.
"And this new guy Admiral, his eyesight is not very good!" Refers to Fujitora.
"What about the other side? All TM cheats! Youth cheats! Strength cheats! Numbers cheats! This battle is impossible to fight! Surrendering is the wisest choice! This is called strategically preserving strength! Do you understand?"
There was dead silence on Dog Head. The soldiers looked at each other, feeling that what Vice Admiral Garp said... made sense, but they couldn't refute it?
Even Fujitora couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Although Garp's reason was ridiculous, but sensing the soaring aura of peak legends on the opposite side, he had to admit deep down... that there was really no chance of winning in a head-on fight.
Garp's "from the heart" came so naturally, so confidently, and so "convincingly" that it instantly disintegrated the last trace of resistance in Dog Head.
Amid Sengoku's expression of frustration, which was about to explode, and Chief Officer Tsuru's sigh of "I knew it would be like this", Dog Head raised a white flag.
Under the somewhat sympathetic gazes of the NEO Marines soldiers, Garp who looked indifferent, Sengoku who looked ashen, He, and Fujitora were "escorted" aboard the Oro Jack.
Dog Head was temporarily taken over by NEO Marines commanded by Zephyr and headed towards Backup Coordinates.
Stepping onto the deck of this legendary pirate ship, Sengoku, Crane, and Fujitora immediately felt a rush of youthful vitality and surging Life Force that almost solidified into substance.
