"What exactly is going on?"
Garp's face became more solemn.
He couldn't wait to get the answer.
"Have you never thought about leaving this island and going to the outside world before?"
Garp asked quickly.
In his opinion, the island of the Country of Fire is completely surrounded by the sea.
I don’t know if I will have the mentality of yearning for the other side of the sea.
Besides, as the leader of the Kingdom of Fire.
Doesn't Hefeng want to know the outside world?
This kind of thing is hard to understand no matter how you think about it.
Beside him, Zhu Jian fell silent.
In his opinion, the questions raised by Karp were indeed somewhat sharp.
If it were me, I really don't know how to answer.
However, he also realized that Hefeng did not want to reveal too much information to Garp.
"Japanese wind."
Hashirama muttered Zephyr's name in his mind.
No idea how he would react to Cap.
Kebi and Bellumeb also looked at Zefeng at the same time.
Two ears, erect and straight.
He looked like he was afraid of missing some information.
Not to mention Cap.
If he hadn't run out of energy, he would have directly activated his Haki.
Come and observe Zefeng’s mood changes.
However, Ze Feng did not directly answer Garp's question.
He sighed deliberately.
"It's true."
"The Kingdom of Fire has actually not been officially established yet."
As soon as these words came out, Garp, Kerby, and Belumeb suddenly frowned.
Obviously, he failed to understand the meaning of He Feng's words.
What do you mean, the Kingdom of Fire has not been officially established yet?
Hasn't the Hokage been passed down for five generations?
After noticing the change in Garp's expression, Zefeng continued speaking slowly.
"As early as two months ago, there were still more than a dozen countries on this island."
"Among them, the Kingdom of Fire, Water, Thunder, Earth, and Wind have the most ninjas and the strongest economy."
"That's why they are also called the Five Great Countries."
"And around the five major countries, there are also small countries such as the Country of Rain, the Country of Grass, and the Country of Taki..."
】
"For a hundred years, the five major countries have been fighting openly and secretly, and there have been constant disputes."
"World-class wars have broken out three times."
Zefeng paused for a moment, then asked Garp, "Just dealing with other countries' eager gazes is enough to consume your energy. How can you have the mind to care about the other side of the sea?"
It is worth mentioning that what He Feng said at this time was not a lie at all.
It is precisely because of this that Ze Feng's eyes appear extremely sincere.
Garp immediately fell silent.
I have to say that this reason is indeed very convincing.
Big countries are trying to keep each other in check, and wars will break out at every turn.
Under such a situation, naturally no one would explore the outside world.
At the same time, this also made Garp realize...
There might be more ninjas on this island than he thought.
Seeing that Garp didn't say a word, Zephyr continued.
"In order to completely end war and bring peace to this world."
"I tried every means to finally wipe out all the countries on this island one by one."
"Turning all the territories into one whole."
"This is the origin of the Kingdom of Fire."
"It's just that the war has just ended, and we haven't chosen a formal day to hold the founding ceremony."
"So to a certain extent, the Kingdom of Fire cannot be considered officially established."
"Of course, these problems are only a matter of time."
These remarks are equivalent to answering Karp's confusion.
But then, Ze Feng asked again, "Speaking of which, has the Navy never noticed the existence of this island?"
The answer to this question.
Hefeng naturally knew it in his heart.
He had even guessed how Garp would answer.
Facing Zefeng's question, Garp shook his head without thinking.
"Don't talk about this island. Even the ninjutsu used by you ninjas is the first time I've heard of it."
"and……"
"This ninjutsu of yours is no less powerful than the Devil Fruit."
Karp didn't hide his true thoughts at all.
"To be honest, if a full-scale war breaks out between the Navy Headquarters and your country, I'm afraid there won't be much chance of victory."
On the one hand, the responsibility of the Navy Headquarters is to maintain the security of the entire great shipping route.
We will not send out all our troops just for a certain country on the great route.
On the other hand, the threat from the Yonko stationed in the New World is not small.
Once the Navy Headquarters fights with the Kingdom of Fire, both sides will lose.
Those guys who call themselves the Four Emperors probably won't sit idly by.
By then, the entire Grand Line will only become more chaotic.
"However, if something like that really happens, it will definitely not be of any benefit to the Country of Fire."
"You have also seen Kuzan's ability just now."
"And there are not a handful of navies with such terrifying abilities as his."
The implication of Karp is that even the navy may not have much chance of winning.
But if you act recklessly, the fish will die and the net will break.
It can also cause the entire Kingdom of Fire to be in turmoil.
Maybe Zephyr can defeat one Kuzan, two Kuzan.
But facing four, five...
You may not be able to win.
Besides, it is the secret weapon of the Navy Headquarters.
It's not just these admirals.
On their side, there are geniuses whose technological level is five hundred years ahead of the world!
Vegapunk!
He not only researched the blood factor.
In recent years, it has continued to manufacture various weapons for the Navy Headquarters.
As far as Cap knows...
Vegapunk, the latest weapon developed, is about to succeed.
By then, the combat power of the Navy Headquarters will definitely be enhanced.
Even giving up an existence like the Shichibukai is not completely impossible.
It's just about the existence of Vegapunk and the secret weapon.
Of course, Garp would not tell Ze Feng.
But his attitude didn't look like a defeated person at all.
Whether it's the look or the tone.
He seemed to be reminding Zefeng.
As the leader of the Kingdom of Fire, he should avoid an all-out conflict with the Navy Headquarters.
So I hope the gentle breeze can dispel those strange thoughts.
Let him, Kuzan, and his subordinates get away from here as soon as possible.
And Hefeng is naturally a smart person.
How could he not hear what Garp wanted to express?
In fact, Zephyr didn't want to trigger any all-out war.
Especially at this juncture.
According to his understanding of the plot of the pirate world.
It won't be long before a war breaks out in Malinfando.
Although that war ended with the victory of the Navy Headquarters.
But the blow to the Navy Headquarters is also not small.
There is no need for me to be in a hurry.
"I know what you mean, Mr. Karp."
"Actually, I don't intend to put you under house arrest."
"only……"
Hefeng paused and said, "We lack sufficient knowledge of the outside world."
"I hope you can explain to us what kind of world is outside."
"This is also an exchange."
Hefeng said lightly.
In fact, Zefeng didn't need to get any information from Garp at all.
Because of his understanding of the pirate world, he is no worse than Garp.
The main reason for doing this is the lack of rationality.
The entire Kingdom of Fire, except myself.
No one knows anything about the pirate world.
If only I could share the information openly.
Not only will it make everyone feel weird.
Some things are difficult to explain.
Based on this relationship, Zefeng thought of using Garp.
To "reasonably" obtain information.
Hizama, who was silently following Zefeng, heard the words.
A flash of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
It wasn't until this moment that they finally understood Zefeng's plan.
"Exchange?" But there was a trace of doubt in Garp's eyes.
Is it possible that Zefeng wants to exchange information?
"That's right." Ze Feng nodded, "Whether Mr. Garp admits it or not, you are all our prisoners now."
"Even the ship docked at the island has been controlled by my people."
As soon as these words came out, Garp's expression suddenly changed drastically.
Naturally, he could tell that the ship He Feng was talking about was his own battleship.
At the same time, this also means that it is not just yourself.
Even Bogart and the naval soldiers on the battleship were controlled by Ze Feng!
The Navy Headquarters will never know the situation here!
The faces of Kebi and Belumeb became even more pale as paper.
They all didn't quite understand.
How did Zephyr discover the battleship?
"Don't be so surprised, don't forget, I also have the power of seeing and hearing."
Hefeng admired the expressions of Garp and others, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Coupled with the ability of the Thunder Fruit, it is not difficult to cover the entire island with sight and sound."
"and……"
"You couldn't have swum here from the other side of the sea, right?"
Garp raised his eyebrows and felt relieved instantly.
Yes.
Since hundreds of naval forces can land on this island.
That means they used some kind of navigation tool.
If Zefeng wants to find it.
All it takes is one insight and domineering power to lock the target.
After all, Bogart and those people knew nothing about what happened to them.
Naturally, I would never have thought that there were such powerful ninjas on this island.
Besides...
There is no way to counter the domineering thing like seeing and hearing.
As a Vice Admiral, I should be aware of this.
yes.
I should have thought of it myself.
Thinking of this, Garp sighed helplessly.
He undoubtedly lost to the Hokage Zefeng in every aspect.
"So, what do you want in exchange?"
Garp took a deep breath and put away his surprise.
asked Ze Feng.
At the same time, in his heart, he had already vaguely guessed what He Feng wanted to exchange.
Yes.
There is nothing more suitable than them to exchange for.
"Your lives."
Zefeng said bluntly.
"Although I don't want to start a full-scale war with you now, with the capabilities of the Navy Headquarters, I probably won't be able to find out the whereabouts of you and Kuzan."
"They will just think that you disappeared at sea."
The meaning of zephyr is very simple.
That was a reminder to Cap.
Before there is enough evidence.
The Navy Headquarters would not be so stupid as to launch an offensive against an opponent they did not understand at all.
"Plus you and Kuzan don't have much physical strength right now."
"I can kill you all if I want to."
As he spoke, Zefeng kept smiling.
It's just that this kind of behavior, in Garp's view, is like a smiling devil.
Kebi and Belumeb couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding.
The spine of his back suddenly became a little chilly.
In their eyes, the smile on Zefeng's face was as terrifying as it was terrifying.
If it weren't for Kebi and Belumeb supporting each other.
Just this casual sentence written by Ze Feng could make them fall to the ground.
As for Garp, although he still remained calm, he didn't feel that Zephyr was bluffing.
The other party's strength must be stronger than yours.
Don't talk about your current situation.
Even in his heyday, he might not be a match for Ze Feng.
If you don't care about the lives of your subordinates.
He joins forces with Kuzan, but may escape unscathed.
But then...
Kirby, Belumeb, and other navy soldiers.
I'm afraid they will all die at the hands of Ze Feng.
That kind of ending was naturally not what he wanted to see.
And let’s take a step back.
Zephyr just wanted to know about the Grand Line.
As long as it doesn't involve the secrets of the Navy Headquarters.
Maybe, even if you tell him, it won't matter.
Seeing Garp lost in thought.
Only then did Hefeng gently wave his hand, "Mr. Karp, there is no need to rush to give me an answer."
According to Hefeng's guess, even though Garp has extremely strong physical fitness.
It would take at least a day or two for him to recover.
Besides, even if he and Kuzan recovered, he had nothing to worry about.
Big deal, just beat them one more time.
"I'll give you one night to think about it."
"As long as I exchange what I want, I will immediately release all the navy and let you leave here."
After saying this, Hefeng no longer looked at Garp's face.
Walk straight forward.
However, it was at the place where Zefeng fought with Garp and Kuzan.
A black shadow gradually emerged in the forest.
Not someone else.
It was Hei Zetsu who had escaped before.
He hid in the dark, completely blocking his aura.
No matter how you say it, even the Immortal of Six Paths has never discovered his existence.
Not to mention the ability to see and hear Haki.
But at this moment, Hei Jue had a look of astonishment on his face.
Keep breathing in the air here.
There was even a cold sweat on his forehead.
"It's really, really unbelievable..."
"incredible."
Black Zetsu has been hiding since Zephyr defeated Uchiha Madara.
I wanted to wait until Zefeng died before restarting the plan to rescue Kaguya.
But what he never imagined was that in this ninja world.
Monsters like Kuzan and Garp would actually appear.
Although they were defeated by Ze Feng in the end, their strength shocked Black Zetsu.
It is no exaggeration to say that if there is no gentle breeze.
The strength of Kuzan and Garp is enough to stand at the top of the strong in any era.
Even strong men like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
It may not be possible to completely suppress them!
