"I heard that Vice Admiral Garp is going to be promoted to Admiral?"
"I've heard that too."
"It's long overdue for Vice Admiral Garp."
"Yeah, Vice Admiral Garp is so powerful."
After Garp left, some young people were discussing Garp's promotion.
These young men are cadets who are graduating this year, and they have just completed their internships on Garp's ship.
Kuzan was about to join the discussion when he heard a Rear Admiral speak.
"What are you thinking?" Rear Admiral burst into the mouth, correcting the intern's wrong thinking: "The reason why Vice Admiral Garp doesn't want to promote Admiral is that he doesn't want to be promoted at all, not because the department doesn't allow him to be promoted."
"Huh?" The interns were all stunned when these words came out.
Seeing that the interns were stunned, Rear Admiral added: "Vice Admiral Garp has been refusing to be promoted all these years."
Refused to be promoted to Admiral?
Kuzan was also taken aback, but after he realized it, he admired Garp even more.
...
Garp came to the marshal's office.
Sora threw the appointment letter from the World Government in front of Garp.
Garp didn't even look at it, so he just refused.
Garp said to Sora: "Sora, I'm not interested in Admiral's position."
"I don't want to tell you the same thing over and over again."
Sora glanced at Garp, then puffed on his cigar.
It's not the first time Garp has turned down a promotion.
However, Marine now only has two Admirals, Sengoku and Zephyr.
Zephyr also focuses on the cultivation of the new generation.
Five Elders has long expressed dissatisfaction with Admiral's lack of combat power.
Garp sat down, picked up his cigar, "If you need more deterrence, you can find Victor."
Victor's past record and combat performance are good enough for Marine Admiral.
Kong took a puff of cigarette, "Five Elders will naturally arrange this matter."
The implication is that Victor's promotion to Marine Admiral is a certainty.
As for when? That's not up to Kong to decide.
Garp and Victor are two extremes.
Victor wants promotion, Garp does the opposite.
However, although they are all headaches, after Marine has them, it really gives people a lot of peace of mind.
"marshal."
"marshal."
At this time, a Marine Rear Admiral ran away in a hurry.
"What happened?" Kong asked.
Rear Admiral replied: "Roger and the Golden Lion met at Admiral Beach."
Sora's complexion changed suddenly.
Golden Lion has always wanted to get the whereabouts of Ancient Weapon from Roger.
Therefore, the encounter between the two is a huge crisis for the world!
"Go and inform Sengoku to assemble the fleet, and the g1 and g5 branches will assemble immediately."
Sora responded in the shortest possible time.
"Wait, Garp, I have something to tell you."
Sora also wanted to ask Garp a few words.
However, Garp has turned around, "That's your business, mine is over."
At this time, Kuzan and others were waiting outside the corridor of the marshal's office.
"Vice Admiral Garp, you have refused to promote Admiral again!"
Kuzan looked at Garp adoringly.
"I want to be free to do things, I don't need a higher position than this."
Garp said casually, striding forward.
"It's so cool."
Kuzan was very excited.
Garp, however, paid no heed to Kuzan's reaction.
At this time, Garp came to He and the others.
Several Marine Vice Admirals, including Crane, also got the news that Roger and Golden Lion met.
Garp took the initiative to say to He: "He, if you go out of the boat, let me go."
Crane looked at Garp in surprise, "I haven't given the attack order yet."
Then, Crane shook his head and said, "If you were here, the ship would be destroyed in one fell swoop, and I won't let you aboard."
"Don't say that, Roger must be taken care of by me myself."
Garp laughed.
While Crane, Garp and others were talking, Akainu kept silent and walked in front of the crowd.
He was transferred back from New World not long ago and has now been promoted to Colonel.
At this time, Garp has come to the pier.
Sengoku gathers his forces on the pier.
Sengoku saw Garp appearing and was about to board his boat, he couldn't help frowning, "Garp, this matter has been entrusted to me, so don't interfere."
"Don't worry, the credit is all yours." Garp laughed, and took Kuzan and others aboard.
"Bastard, those are two different things." Sengoku was annoyed, but he couldn't stop Garp.
Huoshaoshan, Flying Squirrel and others were very excited when they saw this scene.
Sengoku Admiral, Vice Admiral Garp joined forces.
And a Victor Vice Admiral!
Roger must be no match!
...
g1 branch.
Victor received a message from the headquarters.
Since being sent to the g1 branch as the commander, Victor's number of sorties has decreased.
As a commander, how can the commander charge forward.
Moreover, Victor's main task is to track Roger while maintaining the safety of the channel.
"Is it finally here?"
Victor knew that day would come sooner or later.
And, this is his chance.
After the Advor naval battle, the flying pirates were seriously injured, and it was a good opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Victor wants to step on the Golden Lion.
So, Victor shouted to Wright and Connor: "Send the order, all the g1 branch gather."
The g1 branch needs daily patrol routes.
So it will take some time to build up.
...
Sea Circle Calendar In 1495, Shiki finally got the whereabouts of Roger and his group, and Shiki assembled the fleet at the fastest speed, trying to surround Roger.
Near Ed Wall Beach today, the wind and waves are fierce.
Iger, the captain of the No. 7 ship, looked at the golden Jackson on the opposite side and muttered to himself: "It's really bad weather."
"Wahhahaha..." Carlisle patted Ignaz on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter, the enemy only has one ship."
The fleet assembled by Shiki already has more than thirty ships.
And Roger has only one boat.
In comparison, the Flying Pirates have an absolute advantage in terms of ships and troops.
Therefore, from Carlisle's point of view, the Flying Pirates have absolutely no possibility of losing.
"Roger!"
At this time, Shiki stood at the bow of the ship, smoking a cigar, and shouted towards the Golden Jackson:
"I've told you this matter dozens of times. Although there were many grievances and grievances when I was young, let them pass in the past."
"You know where the "weapon to destroy the world" is hidden, plus my military strength, and the perfect plan that I have spent many years formulating, now I can immediately dominate the world. "
"Come on Roger! Be my right-hand man!"
Shiki's shout penetrated the wind and waves, and was clearly transmitted to the Golden Jackson.
Roger and others heard it clearly.
In addition to being able to hear clearly, they can also identify Shiki.
The ground-length golden hair is like a lion's mane, and the sideburns and beard are all golden, and the sideburns are also very long. This look is unique in New World.
Buggy looks at Shiki, and no matter how many times he looks at it, he always feels scared when he faces the Golden Lion.
That's the mentality you don't have when you're facing Whitebeard.
Is it because Whitebeard isn't that bad?
This moment.
In the No. 5 pirate ship of the Flying Pirates, a pirate cadre named Feilun quietly took out the phone bug in the cabin.
"The Golden Lion has surrounded Roger."
Flywheel's true identity is actually an undercover agent sent by Sengoku to the Flying Pirates.
Not only can you find the location of the undercover through the life card fragments on the undercover.
At the same time, it can also allow undercover agents to create riots and panic among the enemies at critical moments.
Of course, the most important thing is intelligence gathering.
"I understand, you have to pay attention to safety."
Phone Bug imitates Sengoku's voice.
Flywheel put away the phone bug and crept back on deck, continuing to monitor Roger and Golden Lion.
At this time, Roger shouted loudly.
"Shiki, I'm not interested in domination."
"If you can't do whatever you want, then what's the point of being a pirate."
"No matter how much pressure you put on me, I will refuse your request."
After hearing Roger's reply, Buggy hugged her head in panic, "Captain, there are dozens of ships on the opposite side!"
Standing on the bow of the ship, Shiki said with contemptuous eyes: "That is to say, your answer is to let me here and end your life?"
Dozens of ships attack one ship at the same time.
Under a salvo of shells, the Golden Jackson would be smashed into a sieve.
"I mean kill you all," Roger replied, his eyes glowing red with murderous intent.
Roger is not a nice guy.
"Little ones, kill them!"
Golden Lion swung his knife, and dozens of ships approached the Golden Jackson and began shelling.
"Brothers, kill them!"
Roger waved the knife in his hand without fear.
A ship against more than 30 ships, the war broke out in an instant.
Taking advantage of the war, Flywheel picked up the phone bug and contacted Sengoku to inform the two sides of the war.
However, just when Fei Lu had just finished his report and was about to return to the deck, the already dark sky suddenly blew a strong wind and set off huge waves.
The pirate ship on which the flywheel was riding happened to be hit by a huge wave and swallowed.
...
"Flywheel, flywheel."
Sengoku contacted Flywheel several times, but was unable to contact Flywheel.
"What's wrong?" Garp asked.
"I can't reach Chakra." Sengoku looked at the life card fragments in his hand.
Life cards are special items unique to New World.
It is neither afraid of water nor fire.
Made by mixing your own nails into the material, it is a paper that represents the vitality of the owner.
Usually people will tear it up and give it to relatives or friends who are about to be separated, and the torn papers will attract each other.
The life card shrinks when the owner is weak, and returns to its original size when the owner regains health.
If the life card slowly turns to ashes, it means that the owner is not far from death!
At this moment, Garp looked at the life card, which began to get smaller.
"Have you been found?" Sengoku clenched his fists.
Sengoku doesn't know the situation at the scene, he can only judge through the life card.
Garp was silent.
Being an undercover agent is not so easy.
Over the years, too many undercover agents have sacrificed.
They are unsung heroes!
At this time, the fleet of the g1 branch merged with the fleet led by Sengoku.
Victor boards Sengoku's warship, and he notices that Sengoku is in a bad mood.
"Sengoku Admiral, is something wrong?"
Victor asked.
Sengoku shook his head and didn't answer Victor.
Sengoku ordered: "The situation has changed, we will go directly to Adwar Beach."
"Yes." Victor gave a military salute, then turned around and gave Wright and Connor a look.
Wright and Connor went to convey the order.
...
the next morning.
blue blue...
blue blue...
At this time, the phone bug in Sengoku's arms rang.
"Hello." Sengoku picked up the phone bug.
Sora said to Sengoku, "The war between Roger and the Golden Lion is over."
"How is that possible?" Sengoku asked in surprise.
Kong said: "As soon as they started the war, the bad weather ushered in, and half of the Golden Lion's fleet was wiped out by the waves."
"Half the Fleet"
Sengoku didn't feel the slightest bit excited when he heard the news.
Kong went on to say: "Now Golden Lion and his remaining fleet have withdrawn, and the whereabouts of Roger and his group are unknown. So, you should withdraw too."
"Yes."
Sengoku nodded.
Marine and World government are targeting Roger.
As for the Golden Lion, it's not the most important thing.
And with the existence of the Golden Lion, on the contrary, it can play a role in balancing the New World.
After Sengoku ended the call, he called a meeting of all the generals.
The content of the meeting is to retreat.
...
"Why retreat?"
"Now that Golden Lion's vitality is seriously injured, this is the perfect opportunity to eliminate him!"
"Yeah, why retreat!"
The new generations of Marine don't understand.
They are all eager to use their own power to punish evil and promote good, and to maintain justice.
At this point, Sakazuki said nothing.
He was a little gloomy all over.
"Are you used to it?"
At this time, Victor came to Sakazuki's side.
Sakazuki is now alone.
Ghost Spider and Dogman were transferred to other units.
And Sakazuki has a gloomy face all day long, and no one wants to talk to him, and he doesn't take the initiative to approach other people.
After hearing Victor's inquiry, Sakazuki still didn't say a word.
"Would you like to come to g1?" Victor said to Sakazuki: "I want to do something big, and I need your help."
"?" Sakazuki looked at Victor suspiciously.
Victor took out a cigarette and handed one to Sakazuki, "We are actually the same kind of people, but our methods are different."
A class of people? Of course not.
Victor just wanted to get closer to each other, so he said some polite words.
Sakazuki did not object, nodded and said, "I agree with your dream."
Purify the sea and eliminate all evils on the sea!
Absolute justice!
Sakazuki agrees with Victor.
Victor asked: "So, do you want to join forces temporarily?"
"Joining forces?" Sakazuki didn't understand.
Victor said, "Don't you think now is a good time to kill the Golden Lion?"
"Yeah." Sakazuki nodded.
Victor said: "If we join forces, coupled with the strength of the g1 branch, the surprise attack will definitely be successful."
Victor considered that it would be almost impossible to catch the Golden Lion if he was alone.
However, if you join forces with Sakazuki, the success rate is much higher.
"When?" Sakazuki asked.
Victor said: "Of course, the sooner the better, if they are seriously injured."
Sakazuki asked, "How do you get their place?"
The Golden Lion's territory is not fixed.
Because of Golden Lion's Lion Fruit ability, he can move at any time.
Victor smiled slightly and said, "I have my way."
