On the dock, Zephyr, the chief instructor of the naval recruit camp, made a Zephyr appearance at headquarters.
Seeing Garp striding towards him, Zephyr frowned and said in a deep voice, arms crossed.
" Sengoku, you really aren't lying to me? Garp's grandson possesses Three Types of Haki and is Swordmaster capable of unleashing Flying Slash. Can such a person really appear in the East Blue?"
The East Blue has always been the weakest of the four major seas.
As a former high-ranking officer in the Navy, Zephyr knew some unspeakable secrets that led to the East Blue's weakness.
People like Bai Yu, who are only seventeen or eighteen years old, are able to Awakening Three Types of Haki.
There's probably only a one percent chance of someone who also possesses exceptional swordsmanship talent.
I just wanted to see this amazing young genius.
Zephyr brought his two most valued students along to learn more.
"Professor Zephyr, it seems that Bai Yu didn't come back with Mr. Garp!"
Standing behind Zephyr, Ain, with his dark blue hair, spoke first.
"Hmm, it seems the rumors are true. That kid plans to sail alone to Marine Headquarters."
Zephyr responded with a stern face.
"It seems that those trained by Garp are indeed similar to his personality—all troublesome individuals."
" Zephyr, do you think so too?" Sengoku shook his head helplessly.
"Lately, I've been feeling a bit uneasy. Do you think something bad might be going to happen?"
"This brat might be troublesome, but his possession of Three Types of Haki presents an indispensable opportunity for Marine Headquarters."
"If something unexpected happens, not only will Garp go berserk, but it will also be a huge loss for Marine Headquarters."
Two Types of Haki and Swordmaster, either one, would be commonplace at Marine Headquarters.
However, if you combine it with Conqueror's Haki, the meaning becomes completely different.
Looking across this vast ocean, every one of those who can become a powerful figure possesses Conqueror's Haki.
Within the Marine Headquarters, only Fleet Admiral Sengoku and veteran Garp possess this ability.
The remaining few have mastered Two Types of Haki, but they are still far from being able to shoulder the banner of justice for the Marine Headquarters.
Bai Yu's addition will completely turn this situation around.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to think so Sengoku, Sengoku. If Sakazuki heard this, he'd definitely give you a piece of his mind."
Zephyr laughed loudly and patted Sengoku on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, those troublesome guys are all in the New World, and the least troublesome ones are in the Grand Line. As long as that brat doesn't cause any trouble, there won't be any major problems."
Upon hearing this, Sengoku's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
Sengoku's face darkened as he watched Garp stride quickly towards him from afar, and he shouted angrily.
" Garp, you bastard, every time you run back to the East Blue, can't you at least mention it to me? I have to search the whole ocean for you before you recover. Do you really not respect me, the Fleet Admiral?"
"Haha, Sengoku, you're still the same as ever," Garp laughed.
"You don't even know how much effort I've put in over the years to cultivate Bai Yu into such a promising talent for you, and now you're causing me trouble? This really chills my heart."
"I'm giving you a chance to make it up to me now: give me your treasured rice crackers!"
you!
The Sengoku was speechless with anger.
Watching the dignified naval hero and the Fleet Admiral bickering like this, even Ain and Binz were a little dumbfounded.
"Moshi moshi... This is Carina, Mr. Garp, please answer immediately!"
The urgent call of the Den Den Mushi suddenly rang out.
Everyone present froze, turning to look at the direction.
"This was opened by my grandson's crew; perhaps they've already arrived."
Garp frowned and took out Den Den Mushi.
The call had barely connected when a hurried voice began to speak.
" Mr. Garp, something terrible has happened! The legendary pirate Golden Lion has descended upon Loguetown! Lord Bai Yu has followed Golden Lion to save the people of Loguetown!"
"Hurry up and think of a way to save Bai Yu!"
The hurried words echoed on the dock, and Garp's smile froze instantly.
The expressions of Sengoku and the others also became unnatural.
They were just talking about how Bai Yu could do whatever he wanted in East Blue without getting into any big trouble.
I never expected this slap in the face to come so quickly.
That's like stirring up the biggest hornet's nest!
Garp gripped the Den Den Mushi tightly and asked urgently.
" Carina, is what you're saying true? Where is Golden Lion now?!"
"Lord Bai Yu said the Golden Lion was worth cutting down, and then it disappeared along with the Golden Lion's floating Sky Island," Carina hurriedly explained.
Is it worth cutting?
Garp and the others were completely bewildered.
Facing the legendary old rival Golden Lion.
Even they wouldn't dare say such a thing.
Now, Bai Yu not only said what they dared not say, but also left with the Golden Lion's floating Sky Island.
Isn't this just sending lambs to the slaughter?
" Fleet Admiral Sengoku, something terrible has happened! Smoker, who was stationed in Loguetown, has submitted an emergency request for reinforcements. The legendary Admiral of the Flying Pirates, Shiki the Golden Lion, has launched an air raid on Loguetown!"
A Rear Admiral, carrying the order, hurriedly arrived using Geppo.
The expressions on the faces of Sengoku and the others immediately darkened.
Now even Smoker is giving this kind of response.
This means that what Carina said was not false.
Bai Yu really did leave with the Golden Lion.
"You damned Golden Lion, how dare you lay a hand on my grandson! If anything happens to him, I will turn the East Blue upside down and kill you!"
Garp suddenly gripped the Den Den Mushi tightly in his hand and the Roar hysterically.
" Sengoku, don't get in my way. I'm returning to the East Blue Kizaru to come over. If he dares to refuse, don't blame me for turning my back on him!"
The rolling words echoed across the dock.
Faced with Garp's complete rampage, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Heh, Vice Admiral Garp, you're still the same as ever."
A sky full of yellow light converged on the dock, eventually revealing the figure of Kizaru with his hands in his pockets, a lewd grin on his face as he spoke.
"However, your grandson is exceptionally strong and will definitely be able to survive against the Golden Lion. You can rest assured."
" Kizaru, are you making sarcastic remarks?" Garp suddenly turned around and stared at Kizaru.
An aura, like that of a volcano, ready to explode at any moment, emanated from his body.
Kizaru's expression also changed slightly.
He spoke casually, but the moment he was locked onto by Garp's aura, he still felt a strange sense of crisis.
He knew perfectly well that the old Garp in front of him was definitely not comparable to the retired Zephyr.
