The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

naval headquarters,

An island with a red continent on its back: Marinevando.

This island is located at the terminus of the first half of the Grand Line, not far from the Chambord Islands.Together with the adjacent Judiciary Island and Impel City, they form the three major violent organs of the World Government.

However, compared to the Judicial Island occupied by the CP organization and the impel city that is protected on the periphery.

In order to deal with those crazy big pirates, the naval headquarters is an out-and-out military fortress, with top combat forces such as naval marshals and generals stationed at all times.

It can be said that there is no place with the highest concentration of high-end combat power in the world!

Even the 'Holy Land' Mary Joa located behind the Navy Headquarters on the Red Earth Continent is not as good as the Navy Headquarters in terms of advanced combat. ——At least that’s how it appears on the surface.

"This brat..."

In a simple and spacious office, a burly middle-aged man wearing a navy vice-admiral's righteous cloak held the information in his hand and rubbed the wrinkles that had begun to appear between his eyebrows with a headache.

"Garp, what is that guy mumbling about?"

The door was pushed open, and a two-meter-tall, heroic female marine wearing a lieutenant general's cape walked in.

She has forest blue hair tied in a ponytail hanging down the back of her head.Although the age is approaching fifty, the charm is still there, and there are not many signs of aging.

Chief Naval Staff Officer,

Lieutenant General Crane.

"Not that bastard Long!"

Garp looked angry and raised the note in his hand.

"He has been running away for more than a year, and he still doesn't know how to tell his father that I am safe."

"Today, I suddenly received information from the channel he left behind, but it was some evidence about the drug operation of 'Shichibukai'... Don't let me catch him, or he will get a slap in the face!"

···

"Don't complain, that child Long has grown up and has his own way to go."

As he spoke, Lieutenant General He stepped forward and casually pulled out the information from Garp's hand, with a mixture of dignity and gentleness.

"Evidence that 'Shichibukai' Gamenio grows poppies in large quantities and spreads drugs?"

"That's right,"

Garp rubbed the wrinkles on his forehead. He was now in the prime of life.Killing a mere "Shichibukai" is just a matter of a few punches, but——

"On the one hand, after all, Gamenio is the 'Shichibukai' recognized by our navy. We must get evidence... Even if we get the evidence, we still need to ask the marshal for instructions before we can make a decision."

"On the other hand, Roger is making moves!"

Garp looked up at his friend who joined the navy at the same time as him. Garp, Sengoku, and He could be said to be the best trio of them in that period.

"If I guess correctly, Roger is ready to challenge the throne of 'One Piece'!"

"This is troublesome,"

General He sat opposite Garp, frowned and thought while speaking:

"Although there are many powerful people on the sea, there are not many people who are truly qualified to compete for the throne of 'One Piece'."

"'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate counts as one, but we all know that what Whitebeard values ​​most is his 'family' on the ship, and is not interested in the position of the Pirate King;"

Edward Newgate, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, possesses the power of the Earthquake Fruit. He is so powerful that he is known as the 'Strongest Man in the World'.

But what he wants most is 'family'.

So Whitebeard is now collecting sons from all over the sea, and many people secretly say that he is playing "playing house" with pirates.

"Tea,"

When Lieutenant General He began to analyze, Garp stood up and poured a cup of tea for his friend in front of him.

"The 'Red Earl' Baloric Redfield can be counted as one, but who would have thought that the feared 'Aloof Red' is actually a... In the words of young people: social fear;"

Baloric Redfield is said to be as powerful as a top pirate group on his own, and he is so domineering that he can even read other people's memories.

In conjunction with his pet: the pen 'Padong' in the form of a canine fruit, a phantom beast, and a tanuki cat, can embody the 'illusion' of the person whose memory he reads.

Not only can those illusions use the fruit abilities of the 'original body', but their thinking habits, memory personality, and move experience are exactly the same as the original body!

If it weren't for 'Illusion''s domineering power, the Red Earl could push the entire ocean flat by himself.

Even without the help of the power of his pet 'Padong', the Red Earl's own strength is among the best in the world. With an umbrella named 'Quiet Garden' in his hand, he has defeated countless powerful enemies and is truly a top swordsman. !

"And then there's 'BIGMOM' Charlotte Lingling,"

Speaking of this top pirate who was also a woman, Hedu couldn't help but shake his head.

"She is immersed in giving birth to a child, and seems to be preparing to use her 'child' as a cadre to form a pirate group. This is really..."

Very speechless!

In short, this top female powerhouse has been in confinement every year and does not look like someone who can challenge the throne of 'One Piece'.

"Originally the 'Golden Lion' Shiji was also a strong contender for the 'Pirate King' throne,"

Speaking of Shiji, Lieutenant General He glanced at Garp in front of him.

"More than a year ago, he was about to force Roger to join his 'Flying Pirates', but he was severely beaten by you and Sengoku. The huge pirate group almost collapsed, and I was seriously injured. .”

Now he has retreated to the base where he used the 'Piao Piao Fruit' to rise to an altitude of [-] meters to recuperate.

"I heard that among the remnants of the Rocks Pirates, there is a young man named 'Kaido' who is also very good. I just don't know where he is hiding now. He should be focusing on developing his power..."

After speaking, General He picked up the teacup on the table in front of him and took a sip.

As for the remaining 'Sword Master' Wang Zhi, Captain John and others, they are either ready to retire, or they are deserting...

Counting the powerful men on the sea, the only ones who can challenge the throne of the Pirate King are the Roger Pirates!

Time, fate?

"You analyzed it very thoroughly, so I have to keep an eye on Roger during this period."

Garp sighed, and he chased the Roger Pirates all over the world, becoming both enemies and friends.

From the perspective of a 'friend', he is happy that Roger is preparing to seize the throne of the Pirate King; but from the perspective of the 'Navy', if Roger really becomes the Pirate King——

"When the time comes, it's not impossible for him to raise his arms and unite all the pirates in the sea. Maybe..."

Facing Garp, whose eyes flashed, Lieutenant General He calmly shook his head.

"Unite the whole sea?"

"It's easier said than done!"

"Even if Rossi really becomes the 'Pirate King', do you think people like 'Whitebeard', 'Red Earl', 'Golden Lion' and 'BIGMOM' will be willing to let him drive him?"

"Ten thousand steps back,"

General He put down his teacup and looked seriously at the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Can you guarantee that Roger is not the second Rocks? Or be more direct -"

"Do you think that even if the strong men on the sea unite, they can defeat...that person?"

that person,

As soon as these three words came out, the air in the entire office froze.

Most people, even most kings, may not know that behind the Celestial Dragons stands a truly 'invincible' guy!This is also the real reason why the righteous navy executives did not 'rise up'.

Otherwise, with Garp's character, he would have beaten those fat pigs in the Holy Land to pulp with just a few punches!

"I···"

Garp opened his mouth, but no words came out.

After all, he had seen the power of 'that person', and even he, the 'naval hero', could not withstand a few moves in that person's hands.Even if all the strong men in the entire sea unite——

"call,"

"Anyway, I'll keep an eye on Roger."

"No matter what he wants to do, it must not affect the billions of ordinary people across the sea."

If 'that person' gets angry, he can destroy the country and the island in a matter of seconds. After all, she controls the legendary 'King of Heaven'!

···

"Don't dwell on this heavy topic too much,"

Lieutenant General He picked up the information on the table and

"I will handle the issue regarding the 'Shichibukai' Gameno."

Although Lieutenant General He looks like an 'ordinary' Lieutenant General, her strength is definitely not weak.Although I dare not say that the sea is the best, there is no problem at all against a 'Shichibukai'.

"Okay, you can figure it out."

Originally, Garp was planning to leave this matter to the 'newcomer' Kuzan led by him. Since He was free, it was naturally the best thing to do.

"If you take the initiative, I will definitely feel relieved."

"Just thinking about that brat Long, who contacted me for the first time... makes me so angry!"

"It's not necessarily the dragon that's contacting you,"

As the navy's "big staff officer", Lieutenant General He can be said to be the person with the most abundant information on the sea.The navy and even CP agencies throughout the sea area are her "eyes" and "ears".

"If I guess correctly, the person who contacted you should be the 'Don Quixote Family'."

----

food island,

"Contact the Navy?"

"That's right,"

After eating and drinking, Rosie explained to others in the hall.

"What's the most important thing when you come out to hang out?"

of course···

Can fight!

In this world, as long as you are strong enough to fight, you can 'break all laws with one force'.

But everyone has times when they are weak. Even Charlotte Lingling, who was born a monster, once joined Rocks' command.The world's strongest man, Whitebeard, also started out as a 'trainee sailor' on someone else's ship.

“A lot of times, connections are just as important.”

Didn't you see it, the 'Future' Straw Hats broke into Judiciary Island and summoned the Demon Slayer Order.

As a result, the five lieutenants of the navy headquarters watched the show calmly, and even the manpower for the attack specifically ordered that only "college officers" be allowed to participate in the battle.

On the other side, General Qingzhi, who was the finale of the "Demon Slayer Order", was riding by with a look like a retired veteran cadre who said, "It's just plain and simple."

It can be said to be the most hip-cutting 'Devil-Slaying Order' in history!

Well, isn’t it because the naval hero Garp rushed over in a hurry, holding a loudspeaker and shouting:

'Luffy, I'm your grandpa! '

It's called pursuit, but it's actually protection.

Also when we were on the Chambord Islands, we encountered Admiral Kizaru. The opponent kicked him at the speed of light, but he raised his legs and posed for a long time. This was all because the Straw Hats had 'someone behind them'.

As the saying goes, look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.

Therefore, sometimes it is necessary to rely on connections.

"Our family has a good relationship with 'Monkey D. Dragon' in the North Sea. I borrowed his channel to pass on the information about Gamenio's drug cultivation to 'Naval Hero' Garp. I believe there will be news soon. Navy men are coming.”

After speaking, Rossi spread his hands.

"We are law-abiding businessmen,"

"When encountering difficulties, it is only natural to seek help from the Navy!"

···

makes sense,

Although everyone covered in bandages wanted to say this, but they, 'maritime merchants' who wandered on the edge of gray, would usually subconsciously avoid dealing with the navy.

"Fufufu, whether it's the navy or other forces."

Dover was holding red wine in one hand and pushing up his red sunglasses with the other hand.

"Of course, use it if you can!"
