He had just solved a group of invading pirates in Nalohara a few days ago. His original plan was to stay here for a few days and then head to the rainy land. Unexpectedly, he was about to leave just now...
"I don't bother competing with the Navy for credit." Crocodile glanced at the unconscious Ace, "Although I have a grudge against Whitebeard, I'm not despicable enough to vent my anger on his son."
"It's you..." He changed the topic and turned to look at Annan.
"Should I say that you are young and energetic? If you arrest him like this, you won't be afraid of the Whitebeard Pirates' revenge in the future?"
"Retaliation?" Annan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"If I'm afraid of being retaliated by pirates, then why should I be a navy?"
……………………
Smoker was very fast, and he led the people over in less than half an hour.
Seeing Dasqi hurriedly cuffing Ace with seastone handcuffs, Smoker took a deep breath of his cigar and said to Annan.
"I originally thought you came to my place to cheat me with food and drink under the guise of arresting Ace, but you turned out to be really serious."
"Should I say you did a great job, or should I say you made a big hole?"
"You can say whatever you want."
Annan crossed his arms and continued with a smile.
"I really planned to come to your place to cheat on you for food and drink. Anyway, I have this extremely flexible task. Coming to your place is just to try my luck, but it didn't work out..."
Annan spread his hands.
"But Ace is my mission target after all. It's okay if I don't meet him, but I can beat him if I meet him. I can't let him go."
"You guy..."
Smoker bit his cigar, stared at Annan for a long time, and said:
"Justice as far as the eye can see is really random."
"I have a good reputation as a teacher, this is not random."
Annan took out a cigar from his arms, lit the cigar with flames coming out from his fingers, glanced at the navy who was reporting to the headquarters, and said meaningfully:
"However, it's still unclear whether he can be escorted into Impel Down City."
Smoker frowned, "What do you mean..."
The news that Fire Fist Ace was defeated in Alabasta had not even left Alabasta, and the Navy Headquarters already knew about it.
Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.
"I don't agree!"
Sengoku yelled at the phone bug, "It is absolutely safe for the navy to escort Fire Fist Ace, why should it be temporarily handed over to the World Government?"
Listening to the explanation on the phone, anger almost overflowed from his eyes.
"What does it mean that the government has government considerations? Ace is a pirate with a bounty of 550 million, and he is also the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates. For such a dangerous person, what guarantee can you give?"
"Shichibukai? What are you kidding!?"
…………
"Hahahaha, it's hard to be a marshal during the Warring States Period." Garp held a bag of senbei and said, "Looking at how angry you are, you might as well resign. I remember there is an island in the West Sea with very good hot springs. I'll take you there.
Go there and soak in the hot springs..."
"How can it be repaired?"
Warring States hung up the phone and looked at Garp sitting on the sofa laughing, furious.
"The people above want us to hand Ace over to them, saying that it is to prevent a direct war with the Four Emperors. I want to say that the era of great pirates has begun for twenty-two years, and it is time to end it."
"There's nothing wrong with that. The balance that the Navy has managed to maintain cannot be broken at will."
Garp bit the senbei, still looking cheerful.
"Just continue to maintain your false peace." Warring States couldn't help shouting, "That's your grandson! Don't you care?"
"If he had listened to me, he wouldn't have become a pirate."
Garp said with a smile.
"You...forget it."
Sengoku sighed, "Just follow the World Government's instructions and hand over Fire Fist Ace to the custody of Crocodile, Shichibukai, who will then escort him to Impel."
"Come here and convey the order to Annan."
It didn't take long for Annan to receive an order from his headquarters.
"Clam?"
Annan looked confused as he listened to the call.
"Hand over to the Shichibukai? Are you kidding me?"
