Chapter 83: A wise general testing the edges of the truth!
Malinvandor, Office of the Marshal.
Looking at the phone call bug that he hung up on, Seng Guo's original angry expression disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Garp, Garp, can I not know your personality? Is Ace's name really that simple?"
Garp thought he had gotten away with it, but in fact Sengoku still had doubts about Ace's identity.
There is no way, it has only been eight or less than nine years since the Pirate King was executed.
Previously, the Navy had been cooperating with CP to conduct a thorough search of the world for the possible evil bloodline left by Roger, the Pirate King, but found nothing.
Now a child of about the same age suddenly appeared, and his name was related to Roger, so Warring States could not help but be careless.
Ding!
After thinking about it for a long time, Zeng Guo gently patted the corner of his desk.
Not long after, an ordinary-looking colonel wearing a navy cloak of justice walked in.
"Dharma, go to the East China Sea and investigate the information about his grandson Ace without alerting Garp. Remember, whether it is Garp or anyone else, if you can avoid alerting him, then you must not alert him."
As a naval marshal, Sengoku naturally had some confidants, and the Colonel Bodhidharma in front of him was an intelligence talent trained by Sengoku himself.
"Yes, Marshal."
Bodhidharma nodded, and then left the navy headquarters as if nothing happened.
Not long after, a warship left the headquarters without attracting anyone's attention.
Standing by the window, Seng Guo looked at the warships going away, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself.
"Garp, I hope you won't make things difficult for me."
If Ace really had a relationship with Roger, then he was really not sure what the people above him would think.
He could protect Dolag's son because Garp was his brother and Dolag was considered his nephew, but Roger was different.
After lingering in front of the window for a long time, Warring States returned to his desk to continue handling the unfinished military affairs.
On the other side, Bodhidharma quickly arrived at the Kingdom of Goa on the warship of his headquarters. In order to avoid attracting the attention of Garp on the other side of the island, Bodhidharma disguised himself as a traveling merchant and "dropped in" by the Windmill Village.
During his short stay in Windmill Village, he collected information about Ace, Luffy and Sabo.
Originally, the villagers of Windmill Village should know very little about the two brothers except Luffy, but because the three brothers have been training with Garp recently, and they also acted as William's followers during the training, so they
I learned a little more about these two children.
After collecting some intelligence, Bodhidharma immediately returned to the Kingdom of Goa, and then took a warship to the South China Sea, because according to his investigation, Ace's identity seemed to have a certain connection with the South China Sea.
About a week later, Bodhidharma transmitted a piece of information to Sengoku who was far away at the headquarters through the video phone bug.
"Portcas D. Ace was born on January 1, 1502. His mother, Portcas D. Luju, died in childbirth. His father was an unknown man who often appeared in front of others wearing a cloak.
Cover your face. Before Ace was born, Garp had been by Lujiu’s side?”
When he saw Ace's birthday, Sengoku immediately dispelled the suspicion that he was the heir of the pirate prince.
There is only one reason, the time is not right.
Roger surrendered in the Nanhai branch in August 1500. Even if he had left an heir the day before he surrendered, his birth date could not have exceeded June 1501.
It's impossible for the pirate to resurrect his body and leave an heir six months after his death.
"It looks like he is really a descendant of Dolag."
Warring States chuckled, and he put the information aside. Bodhidharma's information focused on describing the impressions of Lujiu's surrounding people on her man.
He is bold and unrestrained, covers his face with a cloak, and possesses great strength, and sometimes the dragon appears but never ends.
Well, doesn’t this completely fit Dorag’s character?
"I didn't expect that boy Dolag would be willing to stay with a woman. Hey, if Lujiu hadn't died, would he have been able to stop Dolag?"
Sengoku was quite annoyed and helpless about the fact that his most promising successor had betrayed the navy. If someone could suppress Dorag, Sengoku thought that would be a good thing.
After all, this world has been "stable" for eight hundred years. Is it really that easy to overthrow?
"Since he is Garp's grandson, when he reaches adulthood and joins the navy, let him be taught by Zefa, lest that guy teach me another general's seedling to become a revolutionary army."
Warring States' ridicule failed to reach the East China Sea. At this time, Garp had no idea that his old friend was secretly investigating.
If he knew, he would definitely remain silent.
After all, she was a great mother who sacrificed her own life to gain Ace's "innocence" in his identity.
"William, if you go faster, your limit should be more than this!"
In the jungle, Garp closed his eyes and threw the stone in his hand casually. While throwing the stone, he scolded William who was moving quickly.
boom!
William, who had just flashed onto a branch, had no time to react. His body's instinct led him to move several meters sideways.
The next moment, a stone was embedded directly into the branch like a bullet. If he were hit by this stone, even if there were multiple defenses, William would be bruised for at least a long time.
"How can this stinky old man get up so quickly with a fifty kilogram weight?"
Because the skills replaced by the skill master are directly equivalent to full-level proficiency, the continued development is just an expansion of William's imagination, so all of William's current training is an effort to awaken life and return it.
Under Karp's guidance, William began to "return to his original nature" training, giving up all the advanced six-position techniques and devoting himself wholeheartedly to the most basic six-position training.
The way to increase the difficulty of training is also very simple, add weight!
At this time, William's arms, calves, and abdomen all had special weight-bearing blocks, which added up to a full fifty kilograms!
