Chapter 63: Concealing the sky and crossing the sea
'This old man is the hero Garp?'
Upon hearing Commodore Hina's address to the old man next to him, all the sailors of the Lion Heart Pirates, including Wen Xi, were refreshed and lowered their heads.
Oh my god, the navy hero came to check the water meter...
Everyone was a little nervous, afraid of showing their flaws.
"Iron Fist" Garp, a legendary figure in the navy, has forced Roger, the Pirate King, into desperate situations several times. He is the most powerful man of an era and has a great reputation.
For the navy, he is faith and a figure like a needle that fixes the sea.
But to the pirate, he is the devil and a nightmare that cannot be escaped.
Even Wen Xi, who had recently expanded a lot, was as trepidatious as a mouse meeting a cat after meeting Garp.
A person's name, a tree's shadow, a living legend, a naval hero whose reputation is higher than that of an admiral, how can it be easy to get along with him?
Wen Xi looked at the hero Garp who boarded the deck of the Lion behind the beautiful navy man and swallowed.
He lowered his head and his palms were sweating.
The captain doesn't give in to anyone, and the general does the same thing, but he doesn't have this ability.
Not to mention Garp, the beautiful marine named Hina is enough to deal with the people currently on the ship.
"This is a nice ship."
Lieutenant General Garp stood on the deck of the Hero, looking left and right for a few times, looking at everyone with a pair of shining eyes.
He wears a dog-head hat, is tall, has a scar on his left eye, his eyes are blue, his chest is broad and strong, and his muscles are strong and strong, as if made of steel, and he has a sense of power, like a male lion.
But at this time, the lion has shown some signs of age.
His resolute face bears the traces of time, with many wrinkles and his thick short hair has turned gray.
Even so, when Garp stood there, he still gave people a sense of indestructible strength, like an immortal monument that suppressed the sea, which had gone through many vicissitudes and became stronger with age.
Although he can still play, he is old after all, and Garp has gradually taken a back seat in recent years.
It is certainly no small matter to trouble him to take the warships out.
Not long ago, the bloodthirsty swordsman appeared again and rescued CP9 once in the City of Spring Queen. This incident was not without impact, and Garp came here because of it.
In a word, as a spy member, CP9 knows too much.
Under Spandam's embellished depiction, the World Government has determined that Lucci, Kalifa and others are colluding with the Gun King.
This makes the world government sleepless. CP9 knows a lot of information about ancient weapons, and Nicole Robin was taken away by the gun king...
Various signs led Wulaoxing to believe that the artillery king was planning to acquire ancient weapons, so naturally he would not sit still and wait for death.
It doesn't matter if you can't kill the Cannon King for the time being, but CP9 must find a way to eradicate it.
So they dispatched many warships and intelligence personnel from the CP department, led by Garp, to patrol and search the waters around Judiciary Island...
Garp glanced at the sailors on the ship, walked up to Wen Xi, lowered his head and looked directly into his eyes:
"Your boy has a vicious and wretched face... He really doesn't look like a law-abiding citizen."
Wen Xi: "..."
(?˙ー˙?), you are wretched.
If it weren't for the fear of ruining the captain's plan, believe it or not, I would blow your dog's head off with one punch...
When Wen Xi saw Garp at first, he was a little panicked, but when he thought that his captain was the master of artillery, he quickly calmed down.
The artillery king is invincible, only Garp...
Anyway, the weather cleared up and the rain stopped, and he felt like he was doing well again.
"Ahem."
Thinking of this, Wen Xi coughed a few times, raised his head and looked directly at the old navy man in front of him, and said with a righteous face, "Lieutenant General, how can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?
You are a well-known big shot on the sea, and although I, Dawenxi, am just a small businessman, I have been upright and law-abiding in my life...
If you are upright, you are not afraid of the slanting shadow. You can search it. If there is any filth on the ship, keep this head on your neck!"
These words were so impassioned and heroic that the navy soldiers looked at each other.
"Oh? You really didn't collude with the bloodthirsty swordsman?"
Garp raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then why do you want to transform the merchant ship into this look? There are too many forts."
A merchant ship has more firepower than a small warship.
"Isn't this a chaotic world? It's just self-protection."
Wen Xi's face turned red and his heart stopped beating, and he sighed, "More than twenty years ago, my father's generation really didn't need so much artillery fire on the ship."
This may not sound like much at first glance, but it is actually a bit strange.
More than twenty years ago, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger joined the navy and started the "Great Pirate Age" with his life.
Maritime order gradually collapsed, and many merchant ships were forced to strengthen their armed forces and firepower in order to protect themselves.
The final analysis of this matter is that the navy is incompetent.
So when he said this, some of the navy's faces looked a little unhappy.
This remark was a roundabout way of mocking the navy for its incompetence and difficulty in maintaining order at sea.
"Send someone to search again."
Garp yawned and said lazily, "We can't unjustly accuse the aboveboard Mr. Dawenxi."
His attitude was obviously a bit perfunctory, because he didn't want to get involved in the government's affairs at all.
"Hina understands."
Hina was very serious and nodded.
She was obviously not an experienced person who liked paddling. She lit a cigarette out of habit and prepared to enter the cabin with her men to search carefully.
Hina is very beautiful, with pink hair, delicate and beautiful facial features, fair and shiny skin, very attractive curves, long legs and tall legs, and a heroic appearance that makes everyone unable to take their eyes away.
She led people to Wen Xi and the sailors, and was about to ask a few crew members to accompany them in the search, but she found that they were staring at her like old men and talking in low voices.
"Look, you're a top-notch girl. Her figure is so domineering...I suddenly want to join the navy."
"Go and move the bricks honestly, this is my wife."
"This girl is so upright. Look, she is so evil..." A sailor's eyes widened when he saw her.
"How big can it be? You are still too young..."
There was a middle-aged sailor with a disdainful smile on his face, but when he saw this navy girl passing in front of him, he couldn't help but take a breath of air.
"Hi~, it's very big. You can't grasp it, so let me do it."
After saying that, he pushed aside the others and squeezed forward with a warm smile, ready to lead the way for this navy girl.
Sailors: "..."
Bah, old color batch.
Hina: "..."
A bunch of old hooligans.
Bang!
The girl's face darkened, and she obviously had a hot temper. She suddenly raised her leg and swept it away like lightning, and several rude sailors were kicked into the air like rubber balls!
Then they screamed and fell on the deck, causing a lot of dust and air waves.
"..."
Wen Xi's face twitched and he complained, "Is this considered violent law enforcement?"
"What do you think?"
Garp was snoring and suddenly opened his eyes. After asking a question, he seemed to be sleepy again and fell asleep while standing.
Wen Xi: "..."
Good guy, I can even fall asleep here.
Just as he was about to say something, he was kicked in the butt and almost fell to the ground.
Turning his head, he found Rina looking at him with an indifferent expression:
"This law-abiding citizen, please lead the way and open the doors of all rooms on the first and second floors of the cabin, including the storage room."
She and the naval captain agreed that this was most likely a pirate ship. Huh, she didn't believe they could hide the evidence so well.
"OK."
Wen Xi shrugged, scolding the violent girl in his heart, and led the way honestly.
The search started quickly and half an hour passed.
No matter how hard Hina searched, she found nothing. Even if she searched every corner of the cabin, she couldn't find any suspicious items or clues on the ship, let alone a reward.
‘Is there a mistake in the intelligence from the CP department? Apparently there was an informant who said he saw the King of Guns appearing in the nearby waters…’
Rina was a little unwilling and asked someone to take out a stack of reward orders and compare them one by one.
Unfortunately, neither Wen Xi nor the sailors could find this person.
Without evidence, the navy couldn't arrest people randomly. She glanced at Garp who was standing and snoring, and had no choice but to order a return trip.
Tomorrow is the public execution.
Even if their search fleet finds nothing, they must return.
The Lion, which was far away from the warships, rode the wind and waves and headed towards Marinevando.
Halfway through the walk, Hina thought for a while and patted Garp's shoulder, who was still standing and snoring, to wake him up:
"Lieutenant General Garp, Hina thinks that the merchant ship just now should be detained. There is nothing unusual about it, so it seems strange."
She wanted to seize the ship and take it back, but the old man stopped her with his eyes.
"Hahahaha... don't be so serious, young man."
Garp smiled, stared at the turbulent sea currents, seemed to think of something, and shook his head, "Even if it is really the ship of the swordsman Ren, how should we deal with it?
I, a bad old man, can't deal with him.
In addition, the little girl in the form of an animal, a fantasy beast, or a fire dragon in Kuzan's mouth is not something our fleet can handle."
Hina: "..."
Indeed, it's a bit late.
If the artillery king was discovered yesterday or the day before yesterday, the Navy Headquarters could barely find time to deal with it. Now, things are urgent...
"Some people say that the swordsman Lane's strength has reached the level of Roger. Is it true?"
Hina asked curiously. According to the old man's words, he seemed unsure about suppressing the Cannon King, which surprised her.
"It's not much different, maybe even stronger."
Garp yawned, but his eyes were sharp, "You are really a formidable person."
In fact, the gap between the top players is very small.
A swordsman like the Bloodthirsty Swordsman who could suppress Porusalino steadily and beat him to the point of losing his temper would almost make him the strongest.
Anyway, he is getting old and his physical strength has declined, so he is really not sure of defeating the artillery king.
Hina: "..."
She didn't know whether it was the old man who was being humble, or whether the artillery king was really that awesome.
However, the navy is really unable to divide its forces at the moment and can only concentrate on dealing with the Whitebeard Pirates first.
As for the artillery king, he can only gather his troops to kill him later.
Of course, neither Garp nor the Five Old Stars thought that the Artillery King would invade Impel Down and attack Marinevando.
Otherwise, they might not be able to be so calm.
………
On the other side, aboard the Lion.
"This thing feels weird wearing it."
After confirming that the navy had left, Wen Xi's facial skin seemed to come alive, squirming for a while, and then he reached out and took off a mask.
"Nightmare Mask", Renne's disguise prop, was made by a witch.
The predecessor of the Lionheart Pirates was the Blood Pirates, and there were only two people on the ship with a bounty.
Wenxi's bounty is also 20 million Baileys. Of course, he needs to cover it up, otherwise there is a risk of being recognized by the navy.
If you don't have a bounty, you don't need to. You can be a good person immediately after getting off the pirate ship. The navy will basically not recognize them. After all, there are so many unknown little pirates that they may not take care of them even if they recognize them.
Squeak~
Not long after, somewhere in the air on the deck, a circle of air was pushed open like a door.
Ren, Nana, swordsman Marcel, Lucci, Kalifa and others filed out of the air door.
This is the door fruit of Bruno the Minotaur, which can open the door and come in and out freely anywhere.
Places where doors can be opened include the air, fire, walls, or even the human body, etc. It doesn't matter how hard the place is, or even if it doesn't have the form of an object.
And as long as a door is opened in the atmosphere, a green alien space can be created.
People other than people with abilities can also enter this alien space to move through space, and the space itself can also be used as a place for emergency evacuation.
Just now, Ren, Nana, and some suspicious items were temporarily placed in the alien space created by the tauren.
The "Door Fruit" may have average attack capabilities, but in terms of functionality, it is definitely first-rate. It can rush in, break obstacles, escape, hide... It has multiple functions and is very convenient.
This is the value of CP9, everyone in it is a talented person.
The tauren Bruno himself is not very powerful in combat and ranks low in CP9, but in terms of value, he is higher than Kaku and Gabra.
"It was so dangerous. I didn't expect that Garp, a naval hero, would come after us... I was shocked."
Kalifa covered her chest and seemed a little scared.
Kaku, Gabra and others also looked happy and asked the naval heroes to arrest the people. The World Government also thinks highly of them...
"Humph, isn't he just a has-been old man? Look at how frightened you are, he's really worthless."
Nana held a marshmallow and snorted.
"Hey, that's a naval hero, a terrifying figure that Roger, the Pirate King, always avoids whenever he sees him." Kaku reminded.
This little girl's tone is too arrogant.
"So what? That's Roger. He can't do it. If the boss hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't mind relaxing the old man's muscles today."
Nana licked the marshmallow, not timid at all, with an eager expression on her face.
Yep, if she had started messing around more than 20 years ago, maybe the strongest creature would not be as powerful as Kaido.
Kaku: "..."
Is it true or not, you still dare to challenge a naval hero?
In addition to Lucci, Kalifa, Bruno and others also looked like you were kidding me.
Nana's record has not been made public, and she has no intention of showing off. Except for Ren, even Wen Xi and Marcel only know that she is very strong, but they do not know that she tied the Aoki Pheasant in the Chambord Islands.
"Shh, be low-key."
Ren touched her head and said with a smile, "That old man is just a little old. Otherwise, it would be okay to teach you a lesson."
"Um?"
Nana was stunned, tilted her little head and asked, "Is the old man so powerful?"
"Well, the idea is tricky. Even if I want to capture him, I still have to work hard." Renn smiled calmly.
He had just secretly observed that Garp's physical and mental state were much better than Rayleigh's, and he still had a place among the top experts in the world.
Kalifa: "..."
You can really blow it.
Ren looked in the direction of Impel City: "Let's go, there's nothing that can stop us now."
