With a bang, a burly veteran with short white hair, full of energy and a loud and powerful voice, pushed open the door of General Sengoku's office.
Warring States was sitting in the office with his arms folded and still, his eyes closed and concentrating. On the table in front of him, there was a phone bug with the same expression as him, seeming to be resting with his eyes lowered.
Hearing the whirring sound, Warring States frowned, opened his eyes, and said angrily: "Garp! You have nothing to do all day long, right? Why do you come to me every two days?! - Don't look for me.
It’s over, I’ve finished eating my senbei!”
"Eh? Didn't you add anything more?" Garp was shocked, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, and said disgustedly, "You are too industrious, senbei is a top priority!"
"..." Warring States took a deep breath and calmed down, "By the way, where is your little grandson? You fostered him in Gom Town, and you haven't been with him for a long time."
If you're too busy, old man, why don't you go and torment your grandson! He's like a giant Buddha who doesn't get angry when he comes to steal senbei from me all day long, right?
Gom Town is a town on Labo Island not too far from the Marine headquarters of Marineland. Back then, Garp found the story of "Vice Admiral Garp's grandson falling from the sky" a bit annoying, so he sent Luffy there.
There is foster care on that island. Garp takes some time every month to go to Gom Town on Labo Island to accompany his lively and cute little grandson who is very good at playing...
"Oh, you mean Luffy!" Garp crossed his legs, picked his nose, and said casually, "Because Luffy's mother comes to see him from time to time, which is really troublesome, so I have thrown Luffy away.
Went to my hometown in Donghai."
Warring States nodded slightly, "Indeed, it is better for mothers to take care of their sons more conveniently. If I remember correctly, your hometown is the Kingdom of Goa..."
Garp flicked his nose and said, "You said it wrong! I just didn't want to make it too convenient for her, so I sent Luffy away..."
"Huh?" Warring States was stunned, and suddenly realized something was wrong. Mr. Daibutsu's eyes became sharp, "Garp, is Luffy's mother..."
Garp laughed and said: "Yes, it's a pirate! If you think about it carefully, it's really inappropriate for a pirate to go to an island so close to the Navy headquarters every year! Hahahaha..."
"You're so ridiculous!" Zeng Guo almost wanted to cross the desk and punch the old man. He leaned back in his chair, "Garp, you are really going to cause trouble for me...first your son, and now
yes……"
General Buddha rubbed his forehead helplessly and sighed: "I hope your grandson will not cause any trouble in the future..."
"Don't worry!" Garp said confidently, "Luffy will become an excellent marine!" He chuckled, "I have been training him well..."
Warring States said: "I hope so. Are you here just to talk to me about your grandson?"
Garp was surprised: "Didn't you mention Luffy first?"
"Oh, that's right." Warring States held up his forehead, "I'm confused..."
"Is it because of the matter with Whitebeard?" Garp said solemnly, "A warship was sent to monitor the waters near the 'Legend'. This is quite dangerous."
Warring States sighed: "I know this is a bit risky. I have asked them to use only the highest magnification telescope to detect the situation from as far away as possible. If Marco takes Giorno away, it will be as we guessed.
If you want to use Phoenix Fruit to restore Whitebeard's health... With Whitebeard's size, such a scene can be seen even from a distance..."
While the two were talking, the phone bug on the table in front of Warring States suddenly opened its eyes and started barking.
Warring States picked up the phone and connected the communication.
"Stoloberg, is there something wrong?"
The phone bug imitated Stoloberg, who had a long black beard on the other end, and said in a solemn tone: "General of the Warring States Period, what you are worried about may really happen..."
Warring States' heart sank, and the phone bug in front of him slowly said: "Just now, we saw Marco the Phoenix arrive at the Moby Dick..."
In the new world, on a warship not far or near from the Beluga, Lieutenant General Stoloberg of the headquarters said solemnly: "...and if what I have seen and heard is not wrong, I will fly to the Beluga together with Marco.
There is also a dark figure on the deck of the ship."
"Dark shadows, ghosts, ghosts..." Sengoku said with a sullen face, "Such descriptions often appear in Giorno's deeds. The flying squirrels who had dealt with him in the South China Sea also mentioned this.
a little."
Garp said seriously: "In other words, it is undoubtedly Giorno! He did follow Marco to the Moby Dick."
Warring States nodded and ordered: "Keep your distance and continue to observe!" He put the phone aside and did not hang up.
Garp smiled and said: "It would be too bad if two powerful pirates, Giorno and Kujo Xuren, accidentally join the Whitebeard Pirates."
"I just want to confirm this, so I will take the risk to send warships..." Sengoku said solemnly, "There is no need to join the Whitebeard Pirates. Just having a good relationship with the JOJO Pirates and Whitebeard is already impressive.
It’s a situation I really don’t want to see… You should know that this is different from Raleigh.”
"Yes, Pluto has retired after all..." Garp agreed, "Whitebeard is still the emperor of the sea, and if he recovers his health, he will become -"
"Oh my god..."
"Is that..."
At this time, an exclamation came from the phone on the table. It was the voice of the sailors on the Stoloberg warship.
Warring States grabbed the microphone placed aside and asked: "What's wrong?"
The long-bearded Telephone Bug imitating Stoloberg took a breath of cold air and murmured: "Such huge phoenix wings almost covered the entire Moby Dick... That's absolutely right, Warring States General, Giorno is really
Marco and Whitebeard's Devil Fruits were exchanged! Whitebeard...is now a 'Phoenix'!!"
"...and he will become the truly strongest one." Garp exhaled lightly and finished what he just said.
How strong will Whitebeard be after he regains complete health?
Or we should ask this: How invincible was Whitebeard, who was once at his peak?
Suddenly, waves of panicked exclamations came from the phone bug's mouth, and the sound seemed to be mixed with the loud noise of the stormy waves...
Warring States asked loudly: "Stoloberg! What happened?"
"It's Whitebeard!"
The eyes of the phone bug on the table seemed to be looking far away, and the pupils of his eyes vividly simulated the horror of seeing something terrible, "General of the Warring States Period... Whitebeard, he has really regained his peak power!"
In the new world, on the deck of a warship bumping in the huge waves, Stoloberg grasped the railing with one hand and a telephone bug with the other, staring intently at the terrifying scene in front of him as if he had been cut in half with a knife, creating an abyss under the sea...
…
He broke out in a cold sweat and said solemnly: "It only took one knife to cut off the sea... A huge wave hit our warship. We should have been discovered!"
"Things are going in the most unfavorable direction for us!"
Warring States had a headache and sighed, "Unfortunately, if Giorno hadn't collided with the Celestial Dragons at the Chambord Islands..."
Soon, the sound of waves and the rocking of warships sounded continuously from the phone bug's mouth, mixed with the shouts of many sailors, who seemed to be trying their best to maintain the stability of the warship...
"Unbelievable...unbelievable..." The phone bug imitated Stoloberg's tone. Warring States had never heard such a gaffe tone from this calm-character Lieutenant General, "What are they doing? Beluga"
There were constant sounds of earthquake power activating over there, but the power of the vibrations was high and low, not at all what Whitebeard should be..."
In the New World, on the deck of the warship bumping in the rolling waves, Stoloberg used a telescope to observe the side of the Moby Dick, and he could indeed see the vibration cracks that appeared from time to time.
"Could it be that Giorno... kept exchanging the Shock Fruit to the crew members on Whitebeard's ship?" Mr. Vice Admiral muttered to himself. It was simply unreasonable. When did Devil Fruit become like a toy that could be used as he pleased?
In exchange for something to experience?
Moreover, that is... a shocking fruit!!
At the Navy Headquarters, Garp smiled with a shadow in his eyes: "It seems... Giorno had a lot of fun with them!"
Warring States clenched his fists, his face was gloomy, and he felt as uncomfortable as eating shit.
Here he was in the office. After eating shit all afternoon, his face was sore and he was grabbing his hair to imagine a Shichibukai-level pirate making friends with the Whitebeard Pirates, or even in the worst case scenario, simply
After directly joining the Whitebeard Pirates, what kind of unquiet waves will arise on the sea... In the evening, Stoloberg's startled voice suddenly came from the phone:
"General of the Warring States Period, it seems that there is... a war on board the White Whale!
"It's Whitebeard who has become the Phoenix, and... Giorno! The two of them suddenly started fighting!!"
………………
Whitebeard wielded his supremely fast sword, Cong Yunqi, and struck it down with all his strength. The naginata blade was filled with domineering energy, and it collided head-on with the golden iron rod that Lynch swung at!
Boom!!
Black and red domineering lightning burst out between the naginata and the golden iron rod, dancing crazily on the deck of the Moby Dick.
