Bab 117: 117. Choice
Sea Circle Calendar 1524
Originally, the Sabaody Archipelago was the only way to the New World.
There is no way for normal people to travel through Mariejois to the New World, so most people's path is to dive near Fish-Man Island after coating at the Sabaody Archipelago and then surface.
After Marineford and G-1 Fortress were swapped, the entire Sabaody Archipelago has completely become a lawless place.
Of course, this lawless place does not refer to how many pirates are entrenched here.
After G-5's cleaning tour, even if the pirates went to the Sabaody Archipelago for coating, they would only remove their flags in advance.
Here... there is also a G-5 station!
What cannot be pointed out is that there is a large population and arms business here.
There are also various black markets and underground transactions.
However, G-5 does not seem to intend to sort out these industries. Whether they are black marketeers or arms dealers, as long as they are not causing trouble, G-5 will ignore them.
Except for one thing - pirates!
Anyone approaching with a skull pirate flag flying on their ship will immediately be bombarded by G-5.
In this way, the Sabaody Archipelago became a very strange place.
The World Government defines it as a "red danger zone," but in the eyes of others, it is a place with rules.
Even if there are differences between the two parties in underground transactions, they can basically only be resolved through negotiation and discussion.
The mountain of human heads in Green Bit has not yet dried up, and the Twin Capes are filled with human heads again.
Even the Emperors of the Dark World dare not cause trouble in that devil's territory.
In the past two years, the population structure of the Sabaody Archipelago has completely changed from what it was before the Summit War.
All forces are extremely cautious when entering.
Because someone once saw a highly valued recruit in G-5 there, Moon Slayer Ain and her lieutenant Tashigi.
There are even rumors that other legendary pirates besides "Dark King" Rayleigh have been seen here.
People who make a living on the sea more or less have their own sources of intelligence.
The Dark World has speculated more than once that this place may become a meat grinder for G-5 and pirates at some point.
After all...
Two years ago, Straw Hat was stepped on by Rairyu after he sounded the "death knell of the new era" at Marineford. The words tattooed on his shoulder are still circulated along with the photos.
The meaning of "3D2Y" is not difficult to guess.
Two years have passed.
On Marine's side, G-5 is in an interception position.
The known high-end combat capabilities of G-5 include: Rairyu Dylan, Devil's Descendant Bullet, Black Arm Zephyr, Raging Sea Tom, Sky Fox Tahir, Rain Shiryu, Sky Bell-mère, Scalpel Law, Moon slayer Ain, Commander Leo, and Black Flag Alex.
These are the strengths of G-5 that have been revealed to the world.
And if the Straw Hats want to break through the Sabaody Archipelago with such a strong lineup, they will be melted just by their own words.
Many people began to imagine who the Straw Hats might fight.
Straw Hat Pirates, Red Hair Pirates, some crew members of Roger Pirates, Empress Boa Hancock, Jinbei, and Supreme Commander of the Revolutionary Army Monkey D. Dragon.
Even the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates may provide support to the Straw Hats' entry into the New World because of Fire Fist Ace.
But if this situation really arises...
Then Marine Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, who is the solid backing of Rairyu Dylan, will not sit idly by, and even the former Marine Admiral Kuzan may come to help.
After listing the above characters, there are still two very big variables.
Will the other three "Sea Emperors" take the opportunity to disrupt the situation?
Rairyu Dylan seemed to have destroyed some kind of conspiracy of Blackbeard during the "Summit War," and the news that he personally went to Wano Country to destroy Kaido's weapons factory half a year ago also spread.
Although it is rumored that there is a deal between the Big Mom Pirates and Dylan himself, it is still unknown whether it is true and whether the two have an agreement.
The biggest variable is - Marine Hero Garp!
What position will he hold?
If he chooses to avoid it, G-5 will undoubtedly have a much greater chance of winning.
But once Garp appears, it doesn't matter whether he is against G-5 or not.
As long as he appears, even if he doesn't take action, G-5 may not be able to successfully kill the Straw Hat Pirates!
...
"Garp..."
On Vice Admiral's warship, Garp, Sengoku, and Tsuru were sitting around in the cabin.
Speculations and topics about these positions were almost universal knowledge by the time 1524 rolled around.
Although the "World Economy News Paper" did not publish any comments, among the Pirates, Marines, and other newspapers and magazines, they secretly conveyed the news.
Some people even opened a betting pool.
Betting on the outcome of this interception, the life and death of the Straw Hats, Garp's stance, and the players on both sides.
Of course, the Marineford General Staff also received the news early.
Although Akainu himself has not expressed his position, his fleet has always been fully on standby.
Vice Admirals' fleets, including Doberman, Onigumo, and other hawk elites, are also in preparation for war.
After the "Summit War," Garp was punched off the platform by the Straw Hats, causing his image in the hearts of many Marines to plummet.
After all, the "God Valley Incident" happened 40 years ago. Since the "World Government" sealed the information about the incident, most Marines don't even know what it is.
There are also rumors circulating in some secret channels that Garp once sat back and watched tens of thousands of pregnant women and infants die on a small island in South Blue in order to protect Portgas D. Ace, the son of the Pirate King Roger.
This once again severely damaged Garp's reputation.
During this time, Garp was reluctant to even return to Marineford.
He raised the "Evil Bloodline" and the "Supreme Commander of the Revolutionary Army." In the Summit War, it even took Vice Admiral Dylan to scold him before he reluctantly took action to deter the sudden attack of the Red Hair and Blackbeard pirates.
The "deserters" Koby and Helmeppo during the war were also taught by Garp himself.
The new generation of Marines are very skeptical about where his "hero" reputation comes from.
And now, whether he can still be considered a Marine hero, some people even question whether he is still a qualified Marine.
Garp ate his donuts in silence, his eyes no longer full of laughter.
Sengoku and Tsuru Vice Admiral looked at the depressed Garp.
Dylan... you are forcing Garp to make a choice.
Now there are very few options left for Garp, or even none at all.
He could either stay away from the Sabaody Archipelago and allow G-5 to join forces with other entities to severely damage or even obliterate the Straw Hat Pirates and the forces behind them.
Or Garp could simply change his stance, abandon his justice, and directly turn against Marine.
A situation like fishing in troubled waters during the "Summit War" that Dylan preemptively prevented is no longer an option.
No choice!
Either give up the name "Heroic Vice Admiral" and get out of Marine, or retire in peace.
