"Straw Hat Luffy again! Garp, this time your grandson has stirred up trouble all the way in Alabasta!"
After receiving Hina's report, Sengoku saw Garp sneaking bites of his Senbei and shouted in fury.
His son was in the Revolutionary Army, and his grandson was a pirate. If Sengoku hadn't trusted Garp's sense of justice, he would have suspected the old man was in the Marines to gather intelligence.
"Luffy? That kid... Sengoku, do you have any more Senbei?"
"Damn you, Garp!"
Sengoku knew Garp became unreliable whenever his relatives were involved, so he discussed the Straw Hat Pirates' bounties with Tsuru and the others instead.
This time, there had been no Crocodile to clean up after Luffy's group, but Sengoku also recognized the Straw Hat Pirates' ability to cause trouble. The unrest they caused had nearly affected the Karn Chamber of Commerce's Arms Factory, so after discussing it, they doubled everyone's bounties outright.
As captain, Luffy's bounty reached sixty million Beli.
"As for the Ark Maxim and the airship, Hina is far too cautious, reporting even something like this. Still, she's much better than Smoker. If only everyone in the Marines were as responsible as Hina."
As he said this, Sengoku deliberately glanced at Garp, hoping shame would spur him to do better. Instead, that glance infuriated him. The bastard had actually been sneaking the Senbei he had hidden away.
The two old men started arguing again. Tsuru ignored Garp and Sengoku, picking up Hina's report to read it.
Tsuru felt Karn's actions weren't that simple. Just as Hina had said, the Ark Maxim and the airship had never separated while the Karn Chamber of Commerce conducted trade. Previously, the Ark Maxim had seemed more like the airship's escort, but now they had suddenly split up.
