"Okay, it's no big problem." Kurokas put away the stethoscope and put it back in the first aid kit.
But Garp had already fallen asleep soundly as if no one was around.
He was snoring and still maintaining his sitting position. It was not until Kurokas called him again that he suddenly woke up from his sleep and looked around blankly.
"Ah, it's Kurokas, you..."
"You've said this once." Kurokas glanced at Garp, "Your narcolepsy is still the same. Isn't there anyone in the Navy who can help you treat it?"
"It's an old habit. Even my grandson has developed this bad habit." Garp laughed for a while, "By the way, why don't you just join the navy and stay by my side to help me take care of my health?"
Kurokas touched the white beard on his chin and looked at Garp sideways.
"If you are worried that your past will cause you to be ostracized, then you can rest assured that Sengoku and I will never let this happen." Garp crossed his arms, "Besides, there are now 'Shichibukai' With this kind of system, it’s not strange for you to join us.”
"Forget it." Kurokas shook his head, "You clearly know that there is only one man in this world that I am willing to follow."
Garp half-opened his mouth, then sighed, and then smiled: "That's right... By the way, guess who was on the black ship I was chasing just now?"
Kurokas frowned and glanced in the direction where the black ship disappeared: "It couldn't be Bucky, could it?"
"You know?" Garp showed his forehead wrinkles in surprise.
"Of course, it's not like I don't read newspapers." Kurokas suddenly grinned, "Davy Jones's group? That's okay, at least he didn't give up on the sea completely because of the captain's death. "
"You know I will beat him to death if I catch up with him, right?"
"I know, but as a pirate, if you are afraid of this and that, then there is no need to go to sea, just go home and be a good boy."
"I should really send all of you stubborn guys, one by one, into Impel Down on the bottom of the sea." Garp sat on the red soil, shook his head and sighed, "Rayleigh is like this, Shanks is like this." So it is with you, and now even Bucky has returned to the Grand Line."
"Haha, retire early, otherwise someone will die sooner or later." Kurokas looked at the sea.
"Death is not that exaggerated. I am still alive."
"I'm talking about me."
"Are you the one who said you want to retire?!"
Kurokas ignored Karp's shouting and pointed to the sea: "It's coming, it's coming, it's this time every day."
"Huh?" Garp looked up doubtfully.
After a while, a dark shadow appeared on the sea, and a column of water rose from the sky.
A moment later, a huge figure appeared on Twin Capes.
It has a huge streamlined body, and its head has many old scars left after impacts. It is a whale!
Garp's eyes widened in shock: "So you're staying here because of it?"
"Yes. This is the 'Island Whale' Rab from the Western Sea. He was originally a social creature. By coincidence, he followed a group of pirates and came here. The pirates asked me to take care of him. After that, they disappeared for more than fifty years. Year."
"More than fifty years? That means you've known Rab for longer than Roger and the others?"
"Of course, except for the last few years when I followed the captain to the Grand Line, I spent the rest of the time with Rab. He has been waiting here for the group of pirates to return here after circling the world."
"More than fifty years ago..." Garp frowned, "There is a high probability that..."
"That's what I told it, and that's how it expressed its determination to me."
I saw the island whale named Labu, like an earthworm shaking a tree, hitting the thick rock formations of the Red Earth Continent!
Bang——
A crater was created in the red sandstone layer by it, and the vibrations were transmitted to the feet of Garp and Kurokas, proving how powerful it was.
But compared to the entire red earth continent, that pothole was simply inconspicuous, and its head was dripping with blood because of it.
"Garp, I won't talk to you anymore." Kurokas walked towards the island whale, "I have to calm it down."
Garp watched him walk over quickly, then leap onto the island whale, and then disappeared without a trace, feeling secretly in his heart.
You are all the same people, stubborn to the extreme.
He turned around and walked in the direction of his dog-headed warship.
------------------
On the Great Line, among the heavy sea fog, the Terror Ghost sailed towards the unknown sea.
True to form, Davy Jones used most of the blood-curdling horror from this harvest to strengthen himself and the Dreadwraith.
He gained a pair of jet-black flesh wings on his back. When he needs it, the flesh wings can be stretched out to help him fly. When he doesn't need them, the pair of flesh wings will merge into his body and disappear.
The Dread Ghost gained the ability to teleport between two fixed anchor points.
The two fixed anchor points can only be creatures around the Terror Ghost, and once confirmed, they cannot be changed, and the distance between the two fixed anchor points cannot exceed a certain range, otherwise the teleportation ability will fail.
This range is roughly the distance that the Terror Ghost can sail in one week regardless of all obstacles.
In other words, the Terror Ghost can appear directly above one of the anchor points at any time and fall from the sky!
However, like the "ghost ship state", there are some restrictions, including distance, ability cooldown time, etc.
Davy Jones turned around calmly and looked at his crew.
Bucky sat down on the deck still in shock.
When Garp's "Bone Fist Impact" came down, he thought he was dead. After all, there was no group of monster-like partners to block Garp for him this time.
However, something unexpected happened.
The entire Horror Ghost, including the lives on the ship, all entered a strange green state. Garp's "Bone Fist Impact" failed to cause any harm to them!
He sat dumbfounded for a while, until he noticed Davy Jones's gray-blue eyes looking at him. He shuddered all over and got up.
"Captain..." Sweat broke out on Bucky's red nose.
Davy Jones pointed to the limp Arrita who was still trapped in the seafloor stone net: "Find a way to get her out."
Arrita's face turned red with embarrassment, because she was the first to fall to Smoker and Tina just now, and she was powerless against Garp's offensive, and couldn't even break free from the net.
Bucky scratched his head, then picked up the mace that Arrita had thrown aside, used it to hook up the seastone net, and threw it aside.
Davy Jones was very interested in the net, so he stretched out his tentacles and fished it out.
At this time, Crowe had also walked out of the cabin. When he saw the scene in front of him and saw the calm outside, he knew he was safe and breathed a sigh of relief.
The lens of his spectacles was shattered, and it looked like he would have to buy a new pair in the next town.
Crowe helped up Octopus Hachi who had fallen to the ground. Judging from his injuries, it seemed that he needed to be nursed back to health again.
All in all, Octopus Hachi has been injured since he boarded the ship.
Arrita and Crow consciously helped Octopus Hachi take care of his wounds.
After Davy Jones observed the net for a while, he asked Bucky standing aside: "What is mixed in this net?"
"Captain, that is the 'Sea Tower Stone'." Bucky told him all the information he knew. "It can exert the same power as the sea, so it is often used to imprison Devil Fruit users."
"Can you buy sea floor stone?"
"It's difficult." Bucky frowned. "It is native to the 'Wano Country' in the 'New World'. Apart from that, only a small part is distributed in other places. The output is sparse, and most of the finished products are in the world. It’s hard to buy in the hands of the government or on the black market, and it’s even rarer than Devil Fruit.”
Davy Jones nodded: "Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Suddenly, a snowflake fell on his wriggling tentacles, and the cold touch made him raise his head.
I saw heavy snow falling in the sky that had just been stormy just now, and a sea breeze roared in my face, biting and hurting.
Davy Jones looked at the sea: "This is the 'Grand Line'..."
The crew also fell silent, quietly watching the unpredictable sea area that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
