In the interim, Roger stood there, his gaze fixed upon the distant horizon, as an immense shadow gradually materialized amidst the mist.
As the features of the colossal and awe-inspiring creature became more distinct, it revealed itself to be an enormous elephant, traversing the sea and passing by the island where the crew of the Pirate King was currently stationed—a creature known to Roger's crew as Zunisha.
(Does anyone hear me? - Someone...?)
An aged voice echoed, reaching the ears of both Roger and Rouge.
"..."
(Does anyone hear me? - Someone...?) The voice reverberated once more.
To Shanks, Buggy, and the others, it was merely the powerful roars of a gigantic elephant. However, for Roger and Rouge, who possessed the ability to hear the voice of all things, the words were distinctly audible.
Roger grinned before uttering, "Wahahaha. Zunisha, isn't that right? I hear you, can you hear me?"
Shanks and Buggy, perplexed, shifted their attention to him. They couldn't comprehend why their captain was suddenly engaging in conversation with the colossal elephant carrying the island.
The rest of the crew, familiar with the world's history, including Zunisha, simply smiled—they were not befuddled.
(Finally, someone can hear me... Are you that man again?)
(No matter, I need your help... As you know, it's impossible to communicate with people on my back... They enjoy the One Piece manga, but I can't! Do you understand my sadness? I was once a...)
The aged voice abruptly ceased, leaving Roger bewildered.
The same held true for Rouge, who listened attentively without uttering a word.
Roger's expression conveyed comprehension, and he chuckled before exclaiming, "Wahahaha! So, in conclusion, you want to read the manga too?"
(That's right! I heard that Luffy is extremely funny, so I recalled memories from the past. I want to know more about the boy called Luffy!)
(If you can help me talk to the leader of the kingdom on my back and convince him to send someone to bring me the manga near my eyes, I'll be grateful to you.)
"Alright, I'll gladly do that." Roger agreed, eliciting extreme joy from Zunisha.
From that point onward, Zunisha commenced reading the One Piece manga!
...
Back in Marineford, all eyes were fixed on Sengoku, who wore a perplexed expression.
"..."
Meanwhile, Sengoku stared at the manga page with eyes trembling. 'That Garp... even in manga form... infuriates me!'
•———•———•———•———•———•
Events of Chapter 530:
—————————
[Grand Line, Marine Headquarters]
"Buwahahaha!!"
The imposing structure of Marineford, resembling traditional Japanese architecture, came into view. Garp's hearty laughter resonated from outside.
"What's so amusing about this, Garp!!?"
"In the midst of this situation that will shake all the seas of the world... That idiot goes and actually makes it worse...!!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku, adorned in a uniform adorned with numerous medals, shouted at Garp and angrily slammed his desk. He couldn't find a better way to vent his frustration.
"Wahahaha!!"
Meanwhile, Garp continued to laugh, munching on his rice crackers as if the matter didn't concern him at all.
"First Enies Lobby, and then the Tenrylubito incident!! This is all completely unprecedented!!!"
Sengoku hadn't forgotten the incidents caused by Luffy before this.
Suddenly, he delved into the impregnable history of Impel Down:
"Twenty years ago... We failed when the Flying Pirate Golden Lion escaped... But these past 20 years, of the hundreds of thousands of prisoners held there, not a single one has successfully escaped! And nobody in the history of the prison has successfully infiltrated it either!!"
"The iron walls of the great prison Impel Down have held!!!"
Suddenly, Sengoku's expression changed, and he shouted at Garp: "And the man spitting on that good name, the first intruder ever, is your grandson again, Garp!!!"
Garp pointed his thumb at Luffy in his mind and laughed heartily:
"He's done it again!! That's my grandson for ya!!"
Sengoku turned angrily and cursed at another person:
"Damn you, Bartholomew Kuma….!! You said that you finished off the Strawhat Pirates at Sabaody Archipelago..!! I should have known..!!!"
"You can't trust what a Shichibukai says…!! But how did he get through our perimeter...!?"
Sengoku seriously wondered about this matter.
After that, he turned towards Garp again and grabbed him by the collar.
"If you weren't the 'Hero of the Marines,' I'd have you take responsibility for your entire family, Garp!!!"
"Wahaha! I think this situation has gotten a bit too big for an old man's life to atone for it! Buwahahahaha!!"
Garp continued to laugh heartily.
•———•———•———•———•———•
"Ugh! Oh my God, why does this bastard make me so angry even in manga!"
"Hahaha! As expected from Garp-san, he's an incredibly lively old man," commented Kuzan with a slight laugh at the amusing scene of his teacher.
"He acts as if he doesn't care... how disgusting. This man doesn't deserve the title of Marine's Hero!"
Sakazuki was extremely annoyed by Garp, who had separated from the Navy and chosen to become a revolutionary like his son.
"Enough nonsense, Sakazuki! Garp is a true hero. It's not allowed for you to speak such nonsense about him. Even if he retired from being a soldier, Garp is still the Marine's hero and will always remain so."
Zephyr seemed genuinely angry at Sakazuki's attitude towards Garp and always being the first to insult him.
"Zefu... Stop." said Sengoku.
Zephyr looked shocked at Sengoku, who halted him from reprimanding Sakazuki.
It seemed that Sengoku didn't notice Zephyr's shocked glances or ignored them before saying, "Don't forget that Garp joined the revolutionary army; he's an enemy of the Navy now. We might have to fight him in the future."
"The revolutionary army doesn't hide its clear bias towards the Hunters' side. They fully support them to replace the World Government and us as well. This means they reject our existence, and their existence was founded to ultimately revolt against us."
"So please remember which side you're on."
Hearing that, Tsuru sighed in silence. She couldn't help her heart from trembling, recalling memories of youth when they were still trainees in the Navy.
Now it seemed that everyone followed justice in their hearts.
In the core of her heart, she was happy for Garp, but saddened by her situation, Sengoku, and even Zephyr.
...
Sorbet Kingdom:
"Wahahahaha!! That's hilarious!"
Garp was relishing his rice crackers, much like his counterpart, and laughing heartily at the interaction between him and Sengoku.
"My annoying grandson will give Sengoku a heart attack, Fuahahaha!!!"
"I'm sorry, my old friend! How can I control the actions of a foolish boy like Luffy? Wahahahaha!"
"He's the protagonist after all! Hahaha! It was my dream for him to become a Marine Admiral!"
"But as you can see... well... my dream is not worth even a joke for a troublemaker and a freedom-seeker like him!"
"As if I'll allow my son to become a soldier in the Navy as you wish, old man," Dragon appeared visibly annoyed.
"A pirate? That option isn't bad either." he smiled.
