The banquet lasted until almost dawn.
Midway through the meal, after drinking, Oulait couldn't resist suggesting a sword fight with Bogard. Garp and Kazu had no objections, considering it just for fun.
The two fought for three hundred rounds, and in the end neither could defeat the other. Both of them reached the level of great swordsmen, and were very skilled in using Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
Furthermore, this was a sword sparring match, not a life-or-death battle, so both sides exercised restraint and did not use any desperate moves.
Makino went over and personally brought two jars of wine to Garp, and chatted with Garp for a while, after all, he was an elder from her hometown.
The fact that the East Blue, especially the Goa Kingdom, is so peaceful is largely due to Vice Admiral Garp's deterrent power.
He would frequently go home for a month or two, and any new pirate budding along the way would be quickly deterred by his jet-black iron fist.
Garp was relieved to hear that Makino was having a good time there.
Back in Foosha Village, his grandson Luffy received a lot of care from him, and he was also very concerned about Makino's situation.
Through his conversation with Makino, Garp gained a deeper understanding of the Blond Hair Pirates.
The next day at dawn, Garp decided to leave with his men, as he would feel more at ease sleeping back on the warship.
" Kazu, you brat, don't forget, I'll be watching you closely. Don't do anything immoral, or my iron fist will be here in no time and leave you with a head full of bumps."
Garp raised his left arm and placed his right hand on his well-developed muscles, looking as if he were still vigorous despite his age.
"Haha, old man Garp, stop bragging."
"If you could really do that, we wouldn't be drinking here all night. I'd probably already be on your Dog-Head Warship heading to the Impel Down."
After exchanging pleasantries of farewell, the two smiled at each other.
Garp felt his later years were becoming interesting again. This kid Kazu, was quite to his liking. It was more interesting to follow a hero like him.
"Hahahaha, let's go, you little ones."
Garp laughed a few times and led five hundred drunken marines aboard the Dog-Head Warship.
Those who had collapsed and were unable to get up were carried up one by one by those who could still walk, and they would inevitably be ridiculed after they sobered up.
"Alright, those navy guys are gone, it's time for us to set off."
"Haha, having a banquet with so many people must be really interesting."
"Yes, judging from what that Marine Vice Admiral said, we'll be running into them quite often in the future."
"Haha, that makes seafaring life so much more interesting from now on!"
Everyone returned to the Divine Dragon, having spent the night playing, and went back to their rooms to catch up on sleep.
As for the Divine Dragon, let it sail towards the direction of the Totto Land. If it encounters other islands along the way, it can go ashore and explore.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Kazu, bored, played pool with Drew for a while.
Bang!
The black ball went into the pocket, Kazu achieved a brilliant 15-game winning streak. He then threw down his cue and said, "Brother, you're not good enough yet. You need to practice more."
Drew is still in a state of being bad at the game but addicted to it. He finally managed to get the captain to come over and play billiards for a while, but he was completely crushed.
Having lost 15 games in a row, he was now as dejected as a wilted eggplant.
"Captain Kazu, I'm still a newbie, can't you give me a break?"
Kazu lit a cigarette, glanced at Drew sideways, and said coolly, "If you're bad, practice more. If you let others let you win, your skills will never improve."
After saying that, Kazu patted Drew on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Little brother, don't you want to hone your skills and then crush those two guys, Carlmand and Behrens, in the ground?"
"Yes, I think about it every day, I long for it day and night."
Drew answered Kazu without hesitation. He was introduced to the game by these two guys, but after beating him for a few days, they stopped playing with him.
But after he learned how to play, he got addicted, which is why he reluctantly dragged Captain Kazu to play against him.
It turns out that Captain Kazu was the hidden mastermind, whose skills were even more outrageous than those of Carlmand and Behrens.
Kazu nodded with satisfaction when he saw Drew's enthusiasm.
He handed Drew a book, saying, "Keep this billiards manual safe. Once you learn it, you'll definitely be able to crush those two."
After saying that, Kazu went out onto the deck to sunbathe.
Drew looked at the book in his hand, " Eighteen Billiards Strokes," which looked very impressive.
"I absolutely cannot let Captain Kazu down."
" Carlmand, Behrens, you two are ready to taste defeat."
He used to always get beaten up by those two, but now that his chance for revenge has arrived, Drew is full of energy.
The thought of defeating them filled him with power.
