Troubles come quickly, and go quickly too.
To celebrate this resounding victory, Kazu brought out hundreds of cases of fine wine, preparing for a grand and unrestrained banquet.
"Haha, congratulations, Brother Carlmand! I didn't expect you to be so powerful, actually Awakening Conqueror's Haki."
"Yes, as expected of an elite crew member of the Blond Hair Pirates."
Several members of the Whitebeard Pirates were gathered around Carlmand, drinking and chatting.
Hahaha~
"Not at all, as the second-in-command of the Blond Hair Pirates, I can only say that this is basic procedure!"
Hearing what the others said, Carlmand showed no humility whatsoever, immediately referring to himself as the second-in-command, completely disregarding whether Behrens and the others would hear him.
On the other side, there were also a dozen or even dozens of other people gathered together drinking and chatting.
Behrens and Oulait were also prominent figures, but Oulait didn't vie for second place.
"That's right, that guy Carlmand is a mid-ranking nobody in our Blond Hair Pirates, and he was able to Awakening Conqueror's Haki, so of course I'm not Awakening at all!"
Behrens downed another bowl of wine with gusto, his bold demeanor convincing everyone.
"As expected of the second-in-command of the Blond Hair Pirates, he certainly has presence."
"Haha, the Behrens brothers are right. Your dual-type Haki and Devil Fruit ability were already powerful enough, but now that Awakening Conqueror's Haki, it's like adding wings to a tiger."
"As expected of the Pirate King's right-hand man, he's truly formidable."
Luo and Pedro, who were standing to the side, had no interest in boasting, but Drew just couldn't stop.
"Let me tell you, that one blow I gave that old man almost killed him."
"My hammer blow was indispensable in taking them down so quickly in the end."
Drew, enjoying his drink, picked up the bottle and began recounting his glorious achievements.
"Haha, Drew, you're amazing! I was watching from a distance, and that hammer blow definitely had power."
"You bet! I feel like if I got punched like that, my heart would burst out of my chest."
"Come on, let's have a drink together!"
As everyone toasted and drank, the atmosphere grew increasingly lively. Drew, standing in the middle, waved an empty bottle and said, "Come on, come on, I'll teach you a song."
"This is the banquet song of our Blond Hair Pirates. I guarantee you'll love it the moment you hear it."
The song " Sailor " was sung, Whitebeard Pirates became more and more engrossed in it, feeling that it was even more impactful than Binks' Sake.
And so, everyone started singing together, and eventually others joined in, and everyone sang together.
The two pirate crews drank from the afternoon until the morning of the next day before finally stopping and ending their joyous feast.
Those who were drunk and passed out were pulled onto the boat by their companions, while the others said a few simple goodbyes and returned to their own boats.
"Old man, call me if you need anything."
"No matter how far away, I'll come right away."
Kazu smoothed his blond hair, the sunlight shining on him, the sea breeze blowing, and the fresh morning air—this was the taste of freedom.
"Gulalalalala~"
"You foolish son, I'm Whitebeard. If someone wants to corner me, they'll have to see if they have the ability."
"Stop dawdling. Men of the sea are always free spirits. Go on your adventure."
Whitebeard turned his head away after speaking, not wanting Kazu to see the reluctance in his eyes.
"Haha, this old man."
Kazu smiled, turned around, and walked to his companion.
"We've had enough fun in North Blue, so next we'll go to Swallow Island, and then head straight to the East Blue!"
"Awooo!!!"
Carlmand and the others were all excited, after all, they were all from the East Blue.
Now that we're powerful and famous, it's time to go home and decorate...
cough cough~
It's time to go home and take a look.
The Divine Dragon departed from Guderro Island and headed to Swallow Island first. Having already promised Luo, it had to go.
" Pops, stop pretending. Kazu and the others are already gone."
Marco came over and reminded Whitebeard; he knew his Pops all too well.
"You idiot son, I've always been this calm and collected."
"It's good they're gone; let's continue the banquet on the Moby Dick."
"Awooo!!!"
These alcoholics never refuse a party; with food, drink, and companions by their side, nothing could be more perfect.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Garp and his three companions successfully returned to Marine Headquarters.
Without taking a break, the four headed straight for the Fleet Admiral's office.
The Fleet Admiral Sengoku was also extremely worried at this moment. The navy had suffered heavy losses, and those were the backbone of the navy.
Furthermore, the World Government, the Holy Knights, and the Five Elders all perished in the West Blue, and the elites of the Cipher Pol were all wiped out.
Garp and the three Admiral escaped unscathed; this was already a consolation prize.
" Her Kazi..."
How could such a monster appear?
This is the battle report sent back by Garp and his men. Specific details will have to wait until Garp and his men return to report.
As for Garp's world-changing plan, Sengoku is still unaware of it. At this moment, he only feels an unprecedented pressure on his shoulders.
Chief Staff Officer Tsuru could only sigh; such a strong individual cannot be compensated for by numbers alone.
Numbers are of no use in the face of such a powerful being.
