"Okay, I'm done watching Old Acquaintances, let's go."
Garp smiled and turned back directly, walking towards the coastline.
He and Wang Zhi had already fought against each other when they were in the Rocks Pirates. Their old rival died immediately, and Garp came to see him for the last time with some emotion.
At this point the purpose has been accomplished and there is no need to stay here.
"Lieutenant General Garp, are you going back to headquarters directly?"
Lucar asked at the makeshift camp on the coast.
When he just returned here, Garp said goodbye.
"Yes, with you here in Xihai, there is no need for me to stay here. It just so happens that the news of the destruction of the Wangzhi Pirates has been sent to the headquarters. I just happened to go back and tell Sengoku the specific situation."
Garp clasped his nostrils with one hand and said casually. This look didn't look like a legendary hero of the navy at all, but looked a bit like an old gangster.
"That's just right. There are more than a dozen naval soldiers on my side who have been seriously injured. It is difficult to treat them with the medical equipment on the ship. This time, Lieutenant General Karp can help me send these soldiers to the headquarters. There are more at the headquarters. Good medical care.”
Lukar immediately asked the question that had been weighing on his mind for the past two days.
"Of course there is no problem. They are all good people. I will definitely escort them back to the headquarters safely."
Upon hearing this, Garp agreed immediately without any hesitation and glanced at Lukar appreciatively.
Veterans who survived the war are valued highly in the headquarters. Even if they lose their combat effectiveness, that kind of maritime experience is very valuable.
Moreover, the reason why the navy is able to protect most of the sea areas and maintain justice at sea is not just due to a small number of senior generals.
It relies more on a large number of ordinary naval soldiers, which is an important component of the navy's prestige on the sea.
The naval soldiers in Lukar who have experienced a lot of battles are worthy of attention in the naval headquarters. Many soldiers in the headquarters do not have as much combat experience as the soldiers here.
"Huh, I'm sorry to bother Lieutenant General Garp." After Lukar thanked him, he turned around and shouted loudly not far away, "Barrett!! Come here."
"What's wrong? Captain."
After hearing the sound, Barrett walked over with Kuzan.
When the captains on both sides were communicating, the two of them didn't know when they talked together.
"Barrett, you go on a mission and follow Lieutenant General Garp to take our seriously injured soldiers back to the headquarters, and then escort the soldiers back. It's not easy for me to show up here, Caesar is still recovering from his injuries, and now I can only let you go once."
Lukar ordered. After thinking about it, the most suitable escort candidate at present was Barrett.
After all, after the soldiers returned to their headquarters to recover from their injuries, it was not that they would not come back, but Lieutenant General Garp might not be able to help on the way back, so he could only ask his own people to take action.
After all, there are still some risks on the Grand Line, and he doesn't want his subordinates to have any accidents due to this reason.
Barrett's strength is guaranteed, and he doesn't have any other important tasks during this period. It's enough to have him here in the West China Sea.
As for Lukar himself, he still remembers the requirements of the Warring States Period and needs to keep a low profile for a while, so he should continue to stay in Xihai and not go out to stimulate the World Government.
He is not worried about the reputation caused by the Wang Zhi Pirates incident. It is only natural for the Navy to eliminate pirates. The World Government will never interfere with its own work.
"Yes! Captain, don't worry, I will definitely complete this mission."
Barrett did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
For him, he can train anywhere and it won't affect his ability to improve. He just needs to stop for a while to practice with the captain.
"Lucal, you really recruited a good navy!"
Garp looked at Barrett with a smile on his face. From his appearance alone, he could see the strength hidden under the strong muscles of this young marine.
Moreover, Garp also observed that Kuzan, who was standing aside, seemed to know this marine named Barrett, and there was an unconvinced look in his eyes.
oh? Did this kid Kuzan suffer a little loss? It's interesting. I'm still thinking about how to stimulate Kuzan. Barrett's arrival can just be the motivation for Kuzan to move forward.
When Garp saw this situation, he suddenly became interested.
"Haha, that's right. Lieutenant General Garp, don't look at who recruited him. Barrett wants to become the strongest person in the world."
I don't know why, but every time someone marvels at Barrett's strength, Lukar is always very happy.
This is the pride that comes from the heart when you see your children have great potential and are praised by others.
Moreover, the people who praised him were top powerhouses like Garp and Zefa, which made Lukar feel extremely satisfied.
"But I'll have to trouble Lieutenant General Garp to take care of him for a while. This kid likes to challenge the strong. If Lieutenant General Garp has time, give him some guidance."
"Don't worry, I will be responsible for becoming the strongest person in the world in the future. Besides, I have your junior on board, who is also very interested in Barrett."
Garp agreed readily. Having a strong man in physical skills on board would bring him a lot of fun.
While Garp was chatting with Lukar, the Navy Headquarters was also discussing the major event that happened two days ago in the West Sea.
In the Marshal's office, Marshal Kong and Zeng Guo were sitting around a table, both of them staring at the documents on the table.
Just a few hours ago, Caesar reported the details of the battle on Mengla Island to his headquarters.
When Marshal Kong saw the report, he was immediately shocked and called Warring States over.
"Sengoku, honestly speaking, Lukar's strength has reached the highest level of combat power."
"How is it possible? The last time I saw Lukar was during the third recruit training camp a year ago. It has been a year since he went to Xihai. I didn't expect that his strength would improve so quickly."
Warring States shook his head and smiled bitterly.
You must know that the war between Lukar and the Black King and the West Sea Gang just ended a few months ago, and it has only been quiet for a few months before big news broke out.
And this incident is different from that of the Black King. No matter how powerful the Black King's side is, their hard power has not reached the level of top combat power.
The level of attention is completely different from that of the Big Pirate King. If the report in front of them spreads to the sea, they don't know what kind of ripples it will cause.
If this matter is revealed, all the forces on the sea will know that a new top combat force has appeared in the navy, which will have some impact on the balance between the forces.
Of course, it is impossible for the Navy to completely hide such a big matter. It can only delay some matters before taking a walk, so that they can make the most appropriate decision during this time.
"Marshal, Garp is also in Xihai now. We will learn more about the situation in detail when he returns to the headquarters after contacting Lukar. For now, we still have to make plans to publicize this matter."
"Well, I understand. I will report it to the Five Old Stars later. Let's promote Lukar's rank to lieutenant general first. In any case, this incident is a rare publicity opportunity for our navy."
Marshal Kong nodded, he knew what Warring States meant.
No matter what impression the World Government has on Lukar, the results of this performance cannot suppress Lukar's promotion at all.
