Chapter 232 Garp: You want me to shatter the darkness with lightning?
June of 1494 in the Haiyuan calendar.
[The Holy Land of Mary Geoise, World Conference]
Dozens of warships surrounded the Red Line continents on both sides of the Grand Line and the New World, with admirals and vice admirals—
Many rarely seen naval commanders traveled on ships.
Even Garp, who is usually nowhere to be seen, obediently stayed on the warship in the New World to guard the area.
"Warring States Period,"
Find a friend who is currently deploying troops and arranging a stability maintenance strategy.
After shooing away the marines around him, Garp slowly spoke.
"What's the deal with Borsalino? I remember you were trying to groom him to be your lieutenant, weren't you?"
"I only skipped work for half a year, how come when I came back I heard that kid had been bribed by that bunch of trash?"
"You have the nerve to say you only skipped half a year of work—"
Sengoku's hand trembled as he held the Den Den Mushi, and lightning, a symbol of Conqueror's Haki, appeared and then dissipated.
"Damn it, do you know how busy I've been lately?!"
Considering the current situation, Sengoku resisted the urge to punch Garp.
"Borsalino has been getting very close to your son and Bazel lately, and the three of them seem to be plotting something."
"The West Blue has been turned upside down by Dragon. Your son is really something, Garp!"
Garp chuckled, scratching the back of his head. "Thank goodness! He has the drive I had in my youth. That guy's a fine son!"
"This isn't a compliment!!!"
Sengoku finally couldn't hold back and punched Garp on the head.
Looking at that bright red bag, my anger level dropped from the critical point to a safe level.
"Garp, go ask Dragon. As his father, you're bound to get some information from him."
Pointing to himself, Garp exclaimed in shock, "You want me to ask? Do you think I'm that smart?!"
Zhan Guo was speechless, glaring fiercely at Garp: "Are you my father or is he my father?!"
"Then why don't you ask Bazel?" Karp retorted righteously. "Who's the uncle, you or him?!"
The Warring States period was stunned.
Ever since my old friend ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his mind seems to be working even faster.
"If I could get the information from Bazel, I would have asked him long ago."
Zhan Guo sighed.
One of the reasons we sent Bazel out on the mission was because of his personality.
Bazel and Dragon, these two new-generation Marines raised under Garp's care, have no respect whatsoever for the Celestial Dragons or the World Government.
The former even killed a Celestial Dragon in the street.
Sengoku knew that if he kept them in the Navy, they would eventually take action after seeing the Celestial Dragons cause trouble.
In the end, it will be the navy that will be in trouble.
Garp would definitely not want to see his son and the kid he raised get arrested.
That's why when Dragon defected from the Navy, the high command kept his stance tacitly approved, rather than trying to bring him back or retain him.
As for Bazell.
The Warring States period did not deny that there was an element of gambling involved.
The Warring States period saw and remembered the other party's nonchalant and arrogant attitude, which showed no respect for those in power.
Even Dorrag maintained the proper respect for his superiors, but that kid was different.
He had absolutely no concept of it.
When they're in a good mood, they might even greet you politely and formally.
Bad mood----
That's what Garp taught me: if you're so capable, go find him. Don't keep nagging me.
[Get lost! He's just a commodore. I'd curse any Celestial Dragons who came without hesitation. The Marine hero is my teacher. If you keep making noise, I'll call him over.]
But it was precisely because of this casualness that the Warring States period was willing to gamble its new era on the other side.
"I believe that Bazel will make the right choice, just as you, Garp, believe in Dragon."
This time, Garp wasn't joking.
The smile on his face gradually faded as he gazed at the ships that kept entering the Bubble Cable Car Port.
"Is this a just choice?"
Shaking his head, Garp didn't say anything more.
As long as the Celestial Dragons exist, the Navy will never be able to embrace true justice.
He had a vague idea of what his son was planning to do, but he didn't intend to say anything.
It's no use saying it out loud; it will only cause your old friend more trouble.
Presumably, those two young men, Bazel and Borsalino, shared the same thoughts as Dorrag.
While those in the Warring States period couldn't see clearly because they were involved, he, an outsider who often skipped work, saw everything perfectly.
Those three brats, if I'm not mistaken—
Karp let out a long sigh of relief.
They must be preparing to overthrow the world government, right?
Recalling the scene he saw when he secretly went to Wano Country while skipping work, Garp felt even more conflicted.
He had only thought that he hadn't seen Bazel in a long time and missed him quite a bit, so he planned to use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's extreme speed to go find him and have a drink.
Unexpectedly, he witnessed a scene in Jiuli that shocked him.
A city without nobles!
Bazel was actually running a city without any aristocratic ideals, and the system was quite well-established.
During his spare time while carrying bricks, Garp learned more about Tianyue City from a brick-carrying team leader named Yueshuangmaru.
Even a brute like him was shocked.
What about social insurance and housing fund, knife bans, the government being responsible for safety while civilians are responsible for their own efforts?
If this system could be extended to the ocean—
When Garp first had this idea, he felt a chill in his heart.
This concept of freedom is completely contrary to the privileges of the world government and the nobles of the kingdoms!
Karp remembered hearing this idea from Bazel when he was a child.
At the time, he just thought it was a joke played by the kid.
I never imagined I would actually witness this scene.
Garp looked down at his hands, which were crackling with electricity.
Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Could the new era that kid is talking about be a new era without Celestial Dragons?!
That quirky little devil definitely had his own plans in mind back then!
No wonder he had Borsalino give him this fruit; he probably wanted him to shatter the true darkness with lightning.
"Sengoku, Borsalino said before that he wanted to become the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, right?"
"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Sengoku looked at his old friend suspiciously. "That's right, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just a little curious."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Karp's thoughts became increasingly complicated.
The strongest pirate, the strongest navy, and his own son —
These three kids have really grown up; they're actually doing this kind of thing.
As if he had guessed the truth, Garp sighed again.
"Warring States period, we are getting older and older. In a few years, we should hand over the power that is due."
"While we're still young enough to help them out and clean up their messes, the worst thing would be if we had to wait until we were called upon in a crisis."
The Warring States period looked utterly bewildered.
He didn't quite understand where his old friend's sentiments came from.
"You're not planning to cause trouble at the World Conference again, are you?"
A crackling sound rang out as lightning was activated.
"Hey Garp!! You bastard, stop right there!"
"This is the most important world conference right now, where are you going to play again?!"
"How can you call it child's play when the Navy is catching pirates, Sengoku-san~"
Lightning bolted into the clouds, leaving only Garp's last words.
"Besides, I don't want to protect those brain-dead idiots. Instead of wasting time here, I'd rather go see where that bastard Roger is hiding this time."
"I'll feed you, you bastard—"
As the lightning streaked through the clouds and disappeared into the distance, Sengoku spat out of the ship and cursed Garp's entire family.
"Huh? What's that—"
"Marine soldiers, stop that thing!"
"Yes, General!"
Before long, Riku Dold III, driving the chariot of the gods, stopped beside the warship.
The roof of the carriage folded back and opened, and Riku Dold III raised his hand to greet Sengoku.
"Oh, it's a general from the Warring States period! It's been so long!"
"Who are you----"
Sengoku was taken aback at first, and then memories related to Riku Dold III suddenly popped into his mind.
"King Riku of Dressrosa, where did you get this strange ship?"
When Sengoku asked him curiously, Riku Dold III explained with a smile.
"It's a divine car that a friend gave me. It has amazing features. I plan to give it to a friend I'm on pretty good terms with at this World Conference."
Heavenly Chariot?
Sengoku waved his hand, signaling the marines to let them pass.
"Do you need us to help you bring this ship inside?"
"No need, it's the ultimate model that can be used on both land and sea."
After fastening their seatbelts and restarting the car, Riku Dold III slowly drove into the Bubble Cable Car Port.
"My ship is still behind. Please let me pass when the time comes. I need to get to the World Conference as soon as possible."
