章 96: Chapter 96 Heroes Gather, Seven Warlords Of The Sea Round Table Conference!
Elder Nyon is very hurt.
Her own advice is not as effective as a single word from a wild man.
She can't help but suspect, could it be this girl, Snake Princess, really got involved with this man.
Could the previous words about pregnancy be true?
But, this is not very important either. It doesn't matter who Snake Princess likes, and even if she were to follow her example and leave the country, it is not a problem to consider now. The urgent matter at hand is to attend the Shichibukai meeting.
Elder Nyon broke free from the restraints of two servants and decisively said,
"Snake Princess, since you have made your decision, then go quickly!"
"Wait a few more days, there's no rush," Luffy shook his head.
If he doesn't make the Vice-Admiral wait a little longer, how can he show his hard work and highlight his achievements?
At this moment, the Empress suddenly asked,
"Luffy, you said before that your father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, why are you..."
"Why did I become a Shichibukai?"
Luffy smiled and said, "'Fire Fist' Ace is my adopted brother, I just happened to use this chance to save him once.
That was the initial purpose.
But then the Adventure Store appeared with things like the 'Blank Fruit'.
For the Summit War, he had to go.
A powerful Devil Fruit like the Shock Fruit, anyone with a brain wouldn't refuse it.
As for whether Whitebeard will die, as long as he doesn't intervene to save Whitebeard, the probability is that he will die.
But why would he want to save him?
He has no relationship with Whitebeard, they haven't even met.
On the contrary, it would be more advantageous for him if Whitebeard died early instead of wasting everyone's energy.
Perhaps he could take the opportunity to swallow up the Whitebeard Pirates, or if he can't, Ace would take over and become the new captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.
It's all about self-interest.
Indeed, he is a bad man.
Luffy thought to himself.
"Is Ace your brother?" the Empress exclaimed in astonishment.
The focus of the others, however, was different.
Elder Nyon fully shocked, said, "The leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, is your father?!"
"My grandfather is Garp, as long as he's not lying, then it's true. I haven't even seen my father's face."
Luffy also casually mentioned the most frequently used background, enjoying the feeling of a young master .
Elder Nyon was completely dumbfounded.
This kid has such a deep background!
"No wonder your previous bounty poster requested you to be captured alive...
Now, Elder Nyon finally understood why Snake Princess's attitude towards him was completely different.
Dragon, the revolutionary, is a man who wants to overthrow the Celestial Dragons, and he has indeed become a great trouble for the government.
It's only natural for his son to be favored by Snake Princess.
Next, this "Elder Nyon" began to subtly inquire Luffy about various questions.
Such as, his relationship with his father, does the government know?
And so on.
Luffy also casually answered.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day.
After being warmly entertained, Luffy set sail for headquarters with the Empress on a warship.
The Nine Snake Pirates came to bid farewell.
I don't know who spread it, but the news of the Empress's pregnancy, which Luffy casually joked about a few days ago, spread like wildfire.
The entire Nine Snake Pirates knew, and each and every one of them was delighted, eagerly anticipating the birth of the baby in ten months.
Even Marigold, who was very wary of Luffy, showed a pleased attitude towards her sister's pregnancy.
Only the Empress herself seemed to be unaware.
At this moment, a group of female pirates stood on the deck, waving their hands.
"Bon voyage, Empress!"
"Luffy Sama, take care~"
"May you return safely, Princess Hime"
In front of others, the Empress still maintained her proud demeanor.
"Are you called Mozambia? I have accepted the government's summons. Why haven't you set sail yet? How long do you want Luffy to wait?"
Mozambia stared in astonishment at this scene.(ô‿ô)
Why has her attitude changed so suddenly in such a short time?
He instinctively looked at Luffy.
Luffy laughed and patted his shoulder.
"No need to thank me too much."
Mozambia looked at him, then at the Empress's expression, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.
Amazing!
Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, the Empress's change in attitude must be because of Luffy Sama.
"Empress Boa Hancock, please release the soldiers from their petrification."
In response, the Empress just snorted and blew air towards the numerous stone statues. Afterwards, everything returned to normal.
The soldiers had no memory of being petrified, their thoughts frozen in that moment.
"You fools, hurry up and prepare to return!"
Wushe scolded loudly.
The silent marines began to move.
Because there was still plenty of time, the return of the warships was not urgent and they did not travel at full speed.
But the warships themselves were faster than ordinary ships.
Therefore, on the tenth day, they arrived at Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.
[You have arrived at the new island, Marineford. Reward: 1000 adventure coins.]
[You have sailed in the Sea of Paradise for 10 days. Reward: 1000 adventure coins.]
In addition to these two regular rewards,
During these days, the crew members from the Seven Water Capital learned a total of 14 techniques and gained a total of 2800 adventure coins.
Sanji and Bartolomeo also became the fourth and fifth members to fully master the techniques.
Of course, money comes quickly and goes quickly.
In these ten days, Luffy refreshed the shop four times every day and finally managed to obtain the second "Blank Fruit" before arriving at Marineford.
In addition to the Blank Fruit, he also bought a box of Haki Fruit, two boxes of Six-Style Fruit, and a Self-Healing Fruit.
[Adventure Coins]: 23945
[Adventure Warehouse]: 5 Haki Fruits, 18 Six-Style Fruits, 3 Lifespan Fruits, 1 Self-Healing Fruit, 1 Blank Fruit
The warship sailed into the bay of Naval Headquarters.
Luffy and Empress Hancock disembarked one after another. The marines responsible for reporting at the port immediately shouted into the Den Den Mushi, "Naval Headquarters, Second Harbor of Marineford, reporting that the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Monkey D. Luffy-sama and Boa Hancock-sama, have arrived at the port!"
On the pier, numerous Marine officers wearing the cloak of justice stood solemnly on both sides.
After seeing Luffy and Empress Hancock, they all saluted in unison.
"Hehe, Marines bowing to pirates, the word 'justice' is really....," Luffy chuckled.
"Do you not like this kind of welcome?" Mozambia made a gesture of invitation. "Please follow me, I will take you to the rest room at Headquarters."
They walked in silence.
The arrival of the two Shichibukai did cause some busyness at Headquarters.
This was Luffy's first time coming to Marineford Island.
After coming down from the port, they were greeted by the Execution Plaza, and the execution platform had already been set up.
Behind the execution platform, after passing through the towering walls engraved with the words "justice," was the Headquarters fortress.
They went up the stairs and, led by the Vice Admiral, arrived at a spacious rest room.
They opened the door and entered.
Everyone in the rest room looked over in unison.
There were a total of four people.
All of them were Shichibukai!
"Furfurfurfu... Have the last two also arrived?"
Donquixote Doflamingo, currently the king of Dressrosa, with an original bounty of 340 million berries!
Sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs, silently flipping through a book, a man who looks like a bear, with an expressionless face, cast his gaze.
Bartholemew Kuma, former king of the Sorbet Kingdom, former bounty of 294 million berries!
"Meeting again, Monkey D. Luffy."
Hawkeye leaned against the back of the chair, legs resting on the table, with his black sword, Yoru, by his side.
Dracule Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman, former Marine hunter, currently one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, former bounty...
"Kishishishi... it's you, the rookie who defeated the Sand Crocodile, doesn't look like much."
A man with a nearly 7-meter tall body, with a head of fiery onion-like hair, laughed with a terrifying and grotesque sound.
Geko Moria, captain of the Thriller Bark, former bounty of 320 million berries!
The focus of everyone's attention is Luffy, not the Empress.
"The last two?" Luffy chuckled and walked into the room.
"Jinbei is in prison," Kuma answered in a indifferent voice.
"That guy doesn't understand anything, knowing that he would have to attack the Whitebeard Pirates, but he refused to participate despite receiving some favors, Furfurfurfu... the fishmen's brains are surely underdeveloped," Doflamingo mocked.
Luffy disdainfully glanced at the other person.
He's the hero who dared to say "mere Four Emperors" in front of Big Mom.
You're become a dog in front of Kaido, yet you have the nerve to mock Jinbei?
He sat down opposite Hawkeye.
The Empress frowned slightly, displeased to be in a room with a group of men.
She sat down on Luffy's left side, silently, ignoring all the men as air.
Hmm, except for Luffy.
At this moment, the squirrel spoke helplessly:
"Could you all calm down a bit? This is the Naval Headquarters. Now that everyone is here, I'll go inform..."
Before he could finish speaking, laughter filled the air.
Then, Garp walked in with big strides, holding a bag of senbei in his hand.
"Luffy, you're here."
"...Grandpa."
"I heard that you kidnapped the Empress of the Daughter Island. Hahaha, you truly are my grandson!"
He laughed heartily and his gaze fell upon the empress, causing him to mutter to himself.
[This brat doesn't resemble his father or me, but he certainly knows how to handle women. He used to be a clueless fool.]
However, he doesn't oppose this kind of thing, and is even quite proud of it.
It would be best if he had more great-grandchildren, so that when he retires, he can become a Great Grandfather of Love.
Upon seeing Garp's arrival, the Shichibukai in the room all turned their attention to the empress.
Is this some interesting information?
"You Kid, come with me."
Garp walked up to Luffy and handed the empress a half-eaten bag of senbei, laughing, "I'm taking your person away. Here, Hancock, this is for you."
The empress didn't know how to react and looked blankly at the senbei on the table.
"Grandpa, you have some nerve," Luffy said speechlessly.
"Come here, I have something to ask you."
Garp turned and left, and seeing this, Luffy immediately got up and followed.
The two of them arrived at Garp's Vice Admiral office.
Luffy naturally knew what Garp wanted to ask.
It had been quite some time since they last met in Logue Town, and Luffy figured that Garp must have looked into the matter of the Rubber Fruit.
"Luffy, about your-"
Before he could finish, Luffy interrupted and asked, "Grandpa, how did the Marines know that Ace is Roger's son?"
Garp was at a loss for words, his mind froze.
After a long while, he sighed and said,
About two years ago, that idiot Ace made a name for himself in the Grand Line as the captain of the Spade Pirates, Fire Fist Ace. The government had already started paying attention to this name."
"Portgas D. Ace, the problem lies in his surname. The government immediately began investigating what happened 20 years ago."
"There was a pregnant woman named Portgas D. Rouge on an island in the South Blue called Baterilla. With the thorough investigation by the CP organization, this matter was easily uncovered."
Garp never mentioned this to Luffy.
At this point, he went into detail, and his tone gradually became heavy.
Facing Sengoku's questioning, Garp couldn't hide it because once the connection was discovered, everything would be easy to investigate.
The government simply didn't realize that Ace wasn't born after ten months of pregnancy.
When comparing Ace's surname with Rouge's, combined with Ace's birthplace, the answer became apparent.
Sengoku's questioning of Garp was just going through the motions.
At that time, the government had already confirmed that Ace was Roger's bloodline!
"Two years ago... Wasn't the government inviting Ace to become a Shichibukai?" Luffy said in surprise.
"It was a trap."
Garp shook his head, grinned, and stared at his own grandson. "Do you want to save Ace?"
Luffy decisively denied it. "Ace said he has his own adventure. I am a Shichibukai, a perfect example of a Shichibukai. When the Vice Admiral invited the Empress, I helped a lot."
"Hahaha, Sengoku knows about this too. He even praised you," Garp laughed heartily, knowing Luffy's temperament too well and not exposing him.
"They don't know about my relationship with Ace?" Luffy found it a bit strange.
In theory, they should know, right?
They just didn't investigate?
But that's unreasonable. Sengoku knew that Ace was adopted by Garp. There's no reason not to continue investigating.
As long as they continue to investigate, they will soon know that Ace and I know each other well and have a good relationship.
As for the fact that we are closer than blood brothers, it would be difficult to find out unless we voluntarily disclose it.
Garp raised his fist, wanting to beat his grandson as usual, but quickly gave up.
"You've grown up too. It's not appropriate to beat you up anymore."
Luffy: "..."
You can't beat me anymore, you old Man
"Hahaha, I know. At least Sengoku knows that you teamed up with Ace in Alabasta to defeat Crocodile.
Garp sat down on his own sofa and poured himself a cup of tea. 'But no one knows about your brotherhood. So, do whatever you want.'
Marine's position prevents Garp from taking any action.
Similarly, Grandpa's position also prevents him from stopping Luffy.
In that case, let's follow fate!
'That's what you said.'
'You Kid, so you really want to save that idiot Ace!'
...This doesn't make sense, Grandpa, you're playing dirty!
Hahaha, it's up to you.' Garp laughed twice and then his expression turned serious. 'About your Devil Fruit...'
'Grandpa, do you really want to know? It will only make you more miserable.'
'Don't talk nonsense. As a grandfather, I have the right to know about my own grandson's matters, right?'
Upon hearing this, Luffy grinned.
'Then I'll tell you.'
Shortly after.
Naval Headquarters, conference room.
Six Shichibukai sat around a round table.
Several Rear Admirals stood guard around them.
In a solemn atmosphere, the current Fleet Admiral of the Marines, Sengoku the Buddha, walked in with a firm step.
Accompanying him were Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Chief of Staff, and Marine hero Garp.
'Oh my, sorry for the late greeting. I didn't expect you all to actually come.'
Sengoku sat down with a smile on his face. 'It's rare to see so many heroes of the sea gathered together... No, I should say, it's a gathering of sea scums.'
'Furfurfur... Thank you for the compliment.' Doflamingo smirked.
Sengoku's smile disappeared, and he spoke in a low voice.
'So, let's begin the round table meeting!'
