The Kingdom of Goa is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, like a 'spotless' mirror. It is known as the most beautiful country in the East China Sea. It also perfectly excludes unnecessary things and does not participate in world hegemony and politics. It can be called a country. The most successful example of 'segregated society' in the world!
After the War on the Top was over, Garp returned to his hometown of Windmill Village and the Kingdom of Goa for a vacation, and spent a long period of comfortable life.
Until a certain guy who seemed to him very annoying and annoying, that is, the guy wearing a pair of frog glasses, a long beard on his chin tied into an ugly twist, and a military cap on his head with a seagull spreading its wings. Until the Warring States Marshal in navy hat came to visit him personally.
"oh?"
"Warring States, are you here?"
"Um!"
"I am coming……"
"sit down?"
"What do you want to drink? But first of all, I only have tea and snacks here, and I just ate them all."
Looking at the person coming, looking at the supreme commander of the navy, Monkey D. Garp grinned, and finally made a few false greetings with a straight face and invited the other person to sit down.
"Ah......"
"No, I can just stand. The scenery here is quite nice."
"Let me consider?"
First, he took a deep look at Garp. In the end, the Warring States Marshal didn't say anything. He just took two steps forward with his hands behind his back, stood in front of Garp's seat and looked ahead, looking at the beautiful island in front of him. , the rotating windmills and the distant ocean scenery sigh slightly.
"look?"
"Fine!"
"It's up to you!"
Garp knew the scenery here was good without the other party having to point it out. After all, this was the Windmill Village of the Kingdom of Goa, where Luffy and Ace grew up. The scenery was certainly better than that of an ordinary city or the one that still exists today. The tattered Malinfando is much stronger.
"call!"
"The air is very good, you are really leisurely, Garp..."
After looking at the scenery for a while, breathing in the fresh air from nature, and standing like this for a while in this place without industry and far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, Warring States felt a little dazed, and frankly said that he envied Garp's current life.
"I think……"
"It must be very comfortable to vacation in a place like this, right?"
"I'm starting to feel a little jealous of you!"
Naturally, whether the jealousy Sengoku talks about is true jealousy or just polite words, I am afraid only he knows.
"There's no point in being jealous!"
"You personally approved this, I'm semi-retired!"
"Now I'm just a bad old man teaching new recruits. I won't be as troubled by as many things as before!"
"Also, I still have a long vacation before I officially go to the recruit camp to take up my post."
Garp said proudly.
In fact, not only before taking office, but even after taking office, he can work three days and have four days off, and his salary and benefits are still the same as before. After retirement, his pension can be increased a lot based on his resume. , the future life will definitely be very nourishing. It is very different from the life of ordinary people who live like slaves and may not even get a pension after retirement!
"Don't be jealous, there's no point in being jealous!"
"I deserve this."
Some time after the Dingding War ended, Garp proposed many times that he wanted to completely resign from the position of lieutenant general. After all, his son was the leader of the revolutionary army, and his two grandsons were big pirates and important participants in the Dingding War. He really has no shame in continuing to stay in the navy.
But unfortunately, his resignation was not approved, and the Warring States Marshal in front of him tried his best to retain him at that time, and refused to sign his resignation report at all costs.
In the end, there was no other way. Garp thought about it and felt that those people might not trust him and were more afraid that he would completely fall to the side of his grandson or son. Therefore, in the end, he did not insist too much and agreed with the Navy Headquarters. Another suggestion put forward was that he should retain the rank of lieutenant general and be transferred to the navy's recruit camp as a recruit coach, responsible for training the new generation of the navy.
"Yeah?"
"But I will soon be able to live such a comfortable life like you. Maybe we can play chess and drink tea together in the future?"
"Well?"
"Why? You don't want to be a marshal anymore?"
"Yes!"
"I resigned last week. Although it has not been approved yet, the process is already going through. It was an empty nod."
Nodding, Warring States said this.
"oh……."
"So it's Sora?"
Garp groaned and frowned slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Of course he knows who 'Sora' is. That guy is known as 'Cyborg'. He was the former marshal of the navy headquarters before the Warring States Period. He is currently the commander-in-chief of the World Government's military. He is the immediate boss of the navy marshal. He is also the commander of the army and all official armed forces of the world government. Commander-in-Chief of the Forces, Scientific Forces and Intelligence Agencies.
"Then what?"
"If you don't become marshal of the navy, what are you going to do in the future? Is it to retire directly?"
Garp continued to ask a little strangely.
"Retire..."
"I do think so, but I'm afraid that guy Sora won't allow it."
Shaking his head and continuing to look at the scenery in the distance, Warring States didn't care about the expression of Garp behind him, and just continued:
"Although I have explained that the navy does not need outdated leadership, after all, you know that in the war, our navy's losses were too great, and the world government was also hit hard, so one person always needs to take the blame. There really is no one more suitable than me.”
"In the end, Sora accepted my resignation, but still tried his best to retain me. So, like you, I will end up staying in the navy and responsible for training new recruits."
"When you think about it, that's really ironic!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Garp. When he saw that Garp had no special expression on his face, and there was no gloating as he expected, he couldn't help but be startled, but in the end he didn't say anything more. He walked back with a relaxed expression and sat down on the empty chair next to Garp.
"Is that so?"
"Then what's your current position?"
After picking up the hot tea in the cup and taking a sip, Garp turned around and asked quietly.
"I don't know yet..."
"However, I think it should be the Chief Inspector of the Navy Headquarters, right?"
"The kind who cares about new recruits."
Sengoku took off his seagull hat, revealing his afro hair, and said this.
"Chief Inspector?"
"Too!"
"You are the marshal after all. Even if you take the blame and step down, you still need to arrange a suitable position."
Smacking his lips, Garp gently put down the tea in his hand, somewhat noncommittal. After all, he never thought that he, a lieutenant general, could compete with the other marshal. Even if the other party took the blame, it was certainly no more serious than his family members who violated the law. Lieutenant General is going to be serious!
To be honest, in Garp's opinion, if his ability hadn't been comparable to his performance during the contract, he might have been thrown into the impel city by the navy under some pretext.
"Say it!"
"Come to me today, what do you want?"
After chatting and exchanging greetings, Garp didn't want to wait for the other party to ask, so he asked directly.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to come and see you."
"real?"
"of course it's true!"
"..."
Garp stopped talking and just looked sideways at Sengoku who was sitting next to him, obviously unwilling to believe it.
"Did I lie to you?"
"Now that I have handed over most of my power, and I am no longer the Admiral of the Navy, what else can I do with bad intentions?"
Warring States was a little dumbfounded and didn't know what to say to Garp.
"That's true!"
"But if you don't serve as marshal, who will?"
"Ao Pheasant!"
"I recommended Kuzan to Sora to succeed me as marshal."
"Qing Pheasant?"
"Yes."
"He's not dead yet?"
"Ahem..."
Sengoku, who was drinking tea, almost choked. Then he turned his head and rolled his eyes at Garp with some dissatisfaction before continuing.
"He suffered a lot of injuries, but at least it's nothing serious. It's just that Kizaru hasn't been found yet, and we don't know what happened to that guy."
"Is that so?"
"Don't worry, we will find it."
"I didn't say I wasn't worried, I just felt..."
"What do you think?"
"I think it's better not to look for him, he might be dead!"
Garp suddenly grinned and gloated.
Of course, Garp was not sure whether he would die or not, but in his opinion, even if Kizaru was not dead, he would probably not show up again in a short time after being beaten twice by the naughty child.
When he thought about it, the shadow area under that guy's heart must be very large. He might have suffered from that naughty child's fear syndrome. Even if he came back, he would be almost useless and not very useful.
"..."
Warring States didn't say anything, he just raised the tea cup and took a sip. Then he was silent for a while before suddenly asking:
"Garp, your son has been very active recently, and the world government is a little overwhelmed."
"About that..."
"What do you think?"
Warring States put down the tea cup, then crossed his fingers with his hands and crossed his legs and asked pretending to be casual.
"!!"
"I don't know, don't ask me!"
"Although that guy is indeed my biological son, apart from giving birth to him and giving him my blood relationship, I can't control anything else about him. That's just like I can't control my two children. Like a grandson!"
When Sengoku mentioned dragons, Garp's face instantly turned ugly.
You know, he hates other people mentioning the blood relationship between his son or grandson and himself. He, Garp, is not the kind of evil feudal parent, and he has never thought that he must intervene if he is the father. The behavior of his son or grandson, those things have nothing to do with him?
"You still suspect that I have contact with him?"
"ha!"
"Then you might as well fire me, so I can stay here every day."
Then, Garp said in an aggressive tone like breaking a jar.
"Yeah?"
"So, it seems that you really don't know about your grandson Luffy anymore."
Nodding and shaking his head, Warring States didn't care about Garp's angry words just now, he just looked into the distance and said quietly.
"??"
"You mean Luffy?"
"Didn't he go to the New World?"
Garp really doesn't know Luffy's situation. After all, he is a vice-admiral of the navy, and Luffy is one of the culprits who caused a great disturbance in Malinfando and caused heavy damage to the navy. He definitely needs to avoid suspicion when it comes to Luffy. It's impossible. Keep an eye on Luffy's information every day to avoid being criticized again.
"His ship, the Sonny, has gone and has now arrived at Fish-Man Island, but his people have not gone!"
"The ship has gone, but the people haven't?"
"Yes!"
"Why?"
"..."
"The naughty kid arrived at Fish-Man Island in his Sonny. That's the latest news just sent back by the navy's intelligence officers."
"It is said that the only ones on board are the naughty boy and the Flying Fish Knights who were active in the Chambord Islands before."
"By the way, did you read the newspaper a while ago?"
"Of course I'll watch it!"
"You're referring to the Exocet aircraft carrier Sonny's battle against the Combined Navy Fleet, and then a great victory, right?"
"That matter has already gone viral!"
Garp said matter-of-factly.
"But Luffy didn't go to the New World. Is that impossible?"
"He dreams of becoming the Pirate King, how could he not be on the ship?"
Garp knows that the dream of Luffy, his Monkey family, is to find the legendary One Piece and become the Pirate King, so it is impossible for him not to go to the new world.
"Not really!"
"Our navy still doesn't know the specific reason, but..."
"It is certain that Straw Hat Luffy and all the Straw Hat crew are not on the ship. We only heard that he is currently hanging out with the pirate queen Shichibu Kaiboa Hancock on Kuji Island. , I can’t be sure if it’s true or not, after all, that island is too exclusive, and our people can’t get in at all.”
In fact, let alone getting in, the warships can't even get close within three nautical miles.
The daughter country has an agreement with the navy and the world government. Navy ships cannot come within three nautical miles of the island. Even if you want to sneak in with a small boat, it is impossible. After all, the sea area is surrounded by Sea King-level sea beasts. People with the strength of a lieutenant general or below were afraid of losing their lives before they could get close.
"Pirate Queen Hancock?"
"ah!"
"I remember, is it her?"
"Well……"
"That girl is pretty good. Her status and appearance are both good. Although she is a bit older, it's better to be older. As the saying goes, if a female junior holds a gold brick, she can only hold two or three more bricks. That's just right. You can take care of that guy Luffy."
"but……"
"Luffy is only seventeen years old now. Isn't he a little too young?"
"never mind!"
"Just be younger. After all, being a pirate is a high-risk profession. It's better to start a family and have children as soon as possible."
"only……"
"I wonder if they will invite this bad old man like me when they hold a wedding?"
"whispering sound……"
"It seems that we still need to find a way to resign from the navy's position and rank as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, not only will I not be able to see my son, but I will also not be able to see my grandson, granddaughter-in-law, and great-grandson..."
After listening to Sengoku's words, Garp started stroking his beard and thinking about it.
He even whispered in front of Garp that he really wanted to get out of the Navy as soon as possible and sever ties with the Navy as soon as possible.
"!!"
"Garp!"
"You old guy..."
So, of course, the Warring States Marshal on the side suddenly turned black. He was so angry at the bastard words spoken by Garp, his old friend and subordinate, that he couldn't say a word for a long time.
And when Sengoku and Garp were meeting and chatting in Windmill Village...
Under the seabed 10,000 meters deep, in the 10,000-meter trench on the Red Earth Continent under the holy land of Mary Joa, on Fishman Island, the only place to reach the new world, the naughty child Annie and her men The crew members who helped Wai Gua Pi Zao arrived safely at the large luxurious palace built with large coral reefs, shells, and other building materials, and also occupied by a giant dragon, and successfully met the mermaid king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom on Fish-Man Island.
At this time, the father of the three Neptune brothers had a strong physique, thick and fluffy orange-red hair and beard, and flame-like tattoos on his arms. He also had thick body hair on his body, and he was holding a The 'Poseidon Neptune' and the 'Great Knight of the Sea', armed with a finely carved trident weapon, were sitting high on the throne and majestically overlooking the arrival of Anne and her party.
On both sides of the palace under Neptune's throne were rows of ministers and generals from the Dragon Palace Kingdom, as well as the brave Nautilus guards that Anne had seen before.
"Well……"
"I saw."
"you……"
"Is that what the newspaper said about the bratty Anne Hastur who defeated the three admirals of the Navy, forced her way into the Impel Down City, and participated in the war on top?"
After his three sons brought the guests and stood in line, Neptune looked at the little girl looking left and right in the center of the palace. He pondered for a while, and then asked tentatively.
"no!"
o(´^`)o
However, Annie actually contradicted him face to face without any politeness at all.
"Well……"
Seeing what the little girl said, and then looking at the familiar face of the other party, which was exactly the same as the photo in the newspaper, King Neptune was instantly choked, and even forgot what he was about to say. Bare.
"Uncle, let me tell you!"
(✪ω✪)
"I'm not a naughty kid, I'm actually a most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most The most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most powerful arcane mage!”
(。•̀ꌂ-)✧
After saying that, looking at the stunned faces present, Annie playfully made cute faces for them.
"..."
For a long time, King Neptune didn't say a word, because he had forgotten all the lines he had prepared before and didn't know what to say.
"Well……"
"Well……"
"Ahem..."
"that……"
"The banquet is ready. This bear...this little guest who is the most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most powerful arcane archmage, should we go to the banquet hall and talk while eating?"
After pretending to cough, King Neptune slowly stood up from the throne and motioned to Anne and everyone to move to another place. If they have anything to do, they can go and have a full meal first before talking about it.
"Eh?"
(⊙o⊙*)
"Can I go directly to dinner?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"That's great, Shu, people are very optimistic about you!!"
✧*. ٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧*. ~♪
When she discovered that the sturdy fish-man king uncle in front of her was so crisp and clear, he wanted to treat her to a feast after just a few words. Of course, Anne would not refuse and cheered on the spot.
You know, before coming here, she thought that the other party would be like some annoying guy, like those weird uncles who like to hold meetings, talk at length, and then talk until their ears are red, their necks are thick, and their mouths are dry. You won’t stop until you’re drooling and salivating!
"..."
"..."
"..."
Seeing the king's performance, the ministers and generals of the Dragon Palace Kingdom present as well as the three mermaid princes just now couldn't help but look at each other in awe.
Although they wanted to say something, when they saw the naughty boy and some outsiders, they finally just looked at each other, followed the king in a tacit understanding, and guided the naughty boy and his group to the palace. Go to the banquet hall.
"..."
"Hello!"
"Xiaoba, what on earth does that king want to do?"
"have no idea!"
"have no idea?"
"Yes, we just need to follow..."
"..."
