Garp was killed by Noah with a single punch.
Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
Inside the storage room for Vivre Card, several bottles containing Vivre Card belonging to high-ranking naval officers were on display, and the Vivre Card inside quickly burst into flames.
"Gulp..." A naval lieutenant commander swallowed hard.
"Lieutenant Vice Admiral Bogard's Vivre Card has been completely burned out!"
"Immediately inform Rear Admiral Komei!"
"Okay..." The messenger, as if waking from a dream, quickly picked up the Den Den Mushi to report the situation.
However, less than ten minutes later...
Komei and He had just stepped into the Vivre Card Management Room.
Garp's Vivre Card quickly burst into flames.
" Garp!" Crane's legs were a little unsteady, and the female soldier next to her quickly helped her up.
Komei's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and a sense of powerlessness welled up inside him. He muttered to himself, "We can't get in touch with Admiral Borsalino. Even if the Special Mobile Unit reaches the Oykot Kingdom, the enemy can quickly evacuate. We're too passive."
Tsuru recovered, her eyes filled with grief. "As expected, Garp has become the enemy's target."
She had previously advised Garp not to return to the East Blue so frequently, or to bring his grandson to live in the Marine Family Town in Marineford.
He even hinted to Garp that if he really didn't want to bring his grandson to Marineford, he could have the dragon secretly take him away.
After all, the Liberator Organization a very fierce offensive against the World Government, and they are specifically targeting the World Government's high-level combatants.
Garp's frequent returns to the East Blue might be a secret to other factions, but it's not a problem for the enigmatic Liberator Organization.
Once the Liberator Organization pinpoint Garp's location and secretly deploy several Admiral- level fighters, Garp and his fleet will have no chance of escaping their annihilation.
From both Tsuru and Komei's perspectives, they believed this was a trap set by the Liberator Organization in the Oykot Kingdom. They first lured Borsalino, the fastest of the group, away to prevent him from supporting Garp, and then directly beheaded Garp.
The anomalies in the Rum Kingdom that Captain Cockroach and Bogard noticed were completely buried beneath the nameless sea of East Blue along with the destruction of the Garp Fleet.
Half an hour later.
Borsalino re-established contact with Marine Headquarters.
"... The Liberator Organization's Rock Demon Vic has already evacuated through the underground rock layers, while I am still at the ruins of the Oykot Kingdom."
With a hint of sorrow in his voice, Komei said, " Admiral Kizaru, Vice Admiral Garp, and Vice Admiral Bogard have all fallen in battle. You must be extra careful."
"What?" Borsalino's expression immediately turned ugly on the other end of the phone. He felt that he and the Navy had been completely played by the Liberator Organization.
at the same time.
Crane also reported to Saint Saturn the news of the deaths of Garp and others.
Saint Saturn, standing on the back of the Saint Mars, and several God's Knights also turned extremely pale.
Although Saint Saturn never fully trusted Garp's stance, Garp's actions at God Valley made the Celestial Dragons owe him a huge favor.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Five Elders can tolerate Garp continuing to be a Marine hero. If it weren't for his special contribution in the God Valley Incident, the fact that he is Dragon's father would have been enough for the Five Elders to dismiss and investigate him.
The reason Saint Saturn looked grim after Garp's death wasn't because he had any affection for Garp, but because the World Government had lost another high-ranking combatant.
As Saint Mars, now a giant bird, soared through the air, he asked, " Saturn, are we still going to the Oykot Kingdom?"
Saint Saturn shook his head. "No need, I'll inform Borsalino to return to Mary Geoise."
After all, even if Five Elders were to mobilize against the elusive Liberator Organization, they would be powerless to stop them if the other Five Elders was determined to escape.
The difficulty in dealing with spatial ability users lies precisely in this aspect.
Furthermore, to this day, no force has discovered the location of the so-called Kingdom of Dawn.
The inability to know the exact location of the Kingdom of Dawn means that the World Government cannot threaten the Liberator Organization action.
The powerful World Government, however, has to guard against a sneak attack by the Liberator Organization, facing a predicament where it is constantly on guard but leaks everywhere.
Without two or three highly skilled Admiral working together, those Marine Base or fleets would be virtually powerless against a sudden attack by the Liberator Organization.
However, the number of Admiral- level experts in the World Government is ultimately limited.
The core of Mary Geoise currently Holy Knights, Grand Master Saint Garling, three knights at the Admiral Candidate level, two Admiral- level experts from the Air Force, plus several experts from CP0, so the security pressure is not great. They can even send one or two Admiral to provide support.
Meanwhile, Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, along with the Sabaody Archipelago, also has three or four Admiral -level experts stationed there ( Sengoku, Tsuru, Gion, Kurouma, and others).
The New World G1 ( Kuzan ) and G0 ( Sakazuki ) also require two Admiral- level masters to guard them.
Throughout his life, he must be wary of the Sky Empire and the Germa Kingdom in the North Blue.
Aramaki needs to sweep through the Paradise waters of the Grand Line.
The experts in these places are generally not to be easily transferred.
The remaining capable fighters are the Five Elders, two or three God's Knights, two Army Admiral, Borsalino, the Shichibukai, and Im, who is hiding in Mary Geoise Imu.
Based on this calculation, the World Government's high-level military capabilities in the East Blue, South Blue, and West Blue appear to be very weak.
As soon as Saint Saturn and his party returned to Mary Geoise, he secretly convened a high-level meeting.
Those who participated in this meeting included the Five Elders, Sengoku, Tsuru, Borsalino of the Sengoku, the Army Fleet Admiral, the Air Force Fleet Admiral, the Chief of the CP, and Jagarl Saint Garling, the Commander of the Holy Knights.
As for Yisheng, Aramaki, and others, they were clearly not fully trusted, and it was even less likely that the Shichibukai would participate.
Saint Saturn cut to the chase. "This incident in the Oykot Kingdom has shown us that all the contingency plans we formulated beforehand were simply incapable of suppressing the Liberator Organization attack."
Taking the opportunity, the CP Chief suggested, " Five Elders, if we want to avoid being in a passive position like in these recent incidents, we need more space-age ability users to ensure that our experts can quickly gather and support various sea areas around the world."
Tsuru also spoke up, stating her thoughts. "Currently, we only have three space-type ability users: Saint Saturn, Vice Admiral Muke with his Teleportation Fruit, and Tyrant Kuma with his Shichibukai -Paw-Paw Fruit. This is clearly not enough."
"Furthermore, Vice Admiral Muke's Teleportation Fruit requires the establishment of Teleportation in advance, which can only be fixed on those islands, and can only maintain a maximum of 100 points. We must carefully consider the locations of these points."
"Furthermore, Tyrant Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability to send enemies flying isn't an instantaneous Teleportation, making it unsuitable as a means of rapid support. Moreover, the opponent's position is also a problem."
After listening to He's description, Saturn turned to the CP Chief: " James, are there any space-type ability users still active on the high seas?"
"So far, the Devil Fruit User has appeared a few times in the West Blue, but they are very cautious; the Mirror-Mirror Fruit has not been found, and the Big Mom Pirates are also secretly searching for this fruit; the Hole-Hole Fruit has not been found; the Door-Door Fruit has also not been found."
Saint Nusjuro immediately ordered, "Intensify the search and find a way to recruit that teleportation Devil Fruit User. We'll offer him a Vice Admiral position if necessary, and money is no object."
The CP chief nodded. "Yes, I will do my utmost."
