" Marine Headquarters is really short-handed, I'm on my end..."
"We don't want to hear about the Sengoku."
Saint Saturn, one of the Five Elders, interrupted Sengoku directly, indicating that Sengoku's predicament was not within their consideration.
"At least one Admiral must be dispatched to keep a close watch on the Blond Hair Pirates at sea."
"Just like you and Garp back then, we absolutely cannot let Her Kazi continue to live such a carefree life."
The Sengoku was now a situation with one head and two big tails.
Are we really going to send Sakazuki there?
Should Aokiji be placed in the New World to replace Sakazuki?
Sengoku knew Sakazuki's character well; if he were sent there, it probably wouldn't just be to keep watch on the Blond Hair Pirates from afar.
He would definitely rush up immediately and fight the Blond Hair Pirates to the death.
But given Her Kazi's current strength, if Sakazuki went alone, it would be no different than asking for a beating.
This is simply not enough to restrain the Blond Hair Pirates from a distance.
Sengoku's eyes darted around, and suddenly he thought of a suitable candidate.
" Saint Saturn, the Marine Headquarters indeed can't spare any more manpower Admiral, but I can send Vice Admiral Garp over."
"With Garp's strength, I think he's absolutely capable of handling it."
Anyway, Garp has been slacking off at headquarters all the time. When he gets tired of slacking off, he'll ask to go back to the East Blue.
He was well aware of his old friend's strength; he was certain that the Blond Hair Pirates could play a restraining role when they committed evil deeds.
" Garp."
The Five Elders exchanged glances in the Pangaea Castle and all nodded, agreeing that this candidate was acceptable.
He possessed considerable personal strength, having pursued Roger for decades, and his experience in this area was extremely rich.
Another crucial point is that Garp has always been at odds with the Celestial Dragons, which is no secret.
If it weren't for his status as a naval hero and the significant influence he wielded, they would have dismissed Garp long ago.
They feel no psychological burden at all when they ask someone like this to do this dirty and tiring work.
"No problem, Sengoku."
"We accept your proposal; we'll send Vice Admiral Garp to complete this mission."
Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief and, after hanging up the phone, had someone call Garp to his office.
Bang!
" Sengoku, what brings you to me all of a sudden?"
"I almost broke my record for eating a whole bunch of donuts at once."
The door to the Fleet Admiral's Office was rudely opened, and Garp strode in as if it were his own office.
Seeing Garp like this, Sengoku's anger finally erupted.
" Garp, look at yourself! Where is your dignity as a Marine Vice Admiral? You're a high-ranking officer in our Marine Headquarters, so behave yourself!"
ヽ(#`Д´)ﾉ!!!
A big # appeared above Sengoku's head, and he started yelling at Garp.
Kazu casually picked his nose, glancing around at the tables to see if there were any wild rice crackers, donuts, or other snacks.
Seeing Garp's nonchalant attitude, Sengoku was angry, but he was already used to it.
"Come here quickly, I have a task for you."
Garp, who had been enjoying his retirement at headquarters, was somewhat surprised that Sengoku would suddenly assign him a mission, and quietly sat down in front of Sengoku.
" Garp, I am now ordering you, in my capacity as Fleet Admiral, to set sail and pursue the Blond Hair Pirates."
"You don't need to fight them all the time; just keeping an eye on them from a distance is enough."
"If the other side does anything that endangers peace at sea, notify Marine Headquarters immediately, and then do everything in your power to stop them and buy time for naval support."
Upon hearing this, Garp perked up.
He's an expert at this; it's just that he can't keep fighting all the time anymore. But this persistent, stalking tactic is something he's been doing for decades.
"Haha, I'm good at this task."
"Last time they let that Blond Hair Pirates get away, this time I'm going to find that brat Kazu and give him a run for his money."
"He even managed to steal Makino away. I'd like to see just what Her Kazi is capable of."
Seeing Garp's enthusiasm, Sengoku nodded with satisfaction.
In the end, it was still my old friend who knew how to share my burdens.
"Okay, Garp, if you need any assistance, just let headquarters know, and I'll approve it immediately."
"Hahaha, leave it to me."
Garp laughed heartily and took the order.
" Garp!"
Upon hearing Sengoku's voice, Garp, who had just reached the door, turned around in confusion.
"It's alright, just be careful. That Blond Hair Pirates isn't as simple as they seem."
Don't worry.
"I see!"
