Chapter 228 New Bounty
Grand Line, Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.
In the spacious and bright central conference room, the atmosphere was heavy and quiet, and the senior generals wearing justice coats all had solemn expressions.
The tall Naval Headquarters Marshal Kong sat at the top of the conference table. He looked deeply at the naval elites around the conference table.
As if inadvertently, Marshal Kong's eyes would always sweep over a certain young lieutenant general who was missing a small part of his right leg.
There were not a few senior generals who had the same reaction as Marshal Kong.
After all, there are many people like Marshal Kong who are very surprised that the three monster lieutenants with great reputation in the Navy Headquarters would actually be defeated by the legendary big pirate White Ghost one after another.
The key point this time is still in a two-on-one situation!
At the conference table, Porusalino, who was wearing a white suit and a black top hat, also looked at Sakaski, who joined the Navy at the same time as him and entered the elite training camp at the same time.
Porusalino, who was originally enjoying "paid leave", after hearing the news, for some reason gave up this kind of treatment and returned to the headquarters to report on his work.
Looking at Sakaski, who looked solemn, an unknown light flashed through Porusalino's eyes, which were shielded by yellow sunglasses.
"Did you also fail, Sakaski~"
Pushing up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, Porusalino spoke in his usual joking tone.
"That white ghost is really a scary monster~"
Sitting in the conference room, Kuzan, who looked like an invisible and transparent person, felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
I obviously participated in O'Hara's demon-slaying order operation and also fought against the White Ghost. Why didn't everyone pay attention to me at all?
"Porusalino, you have fought against that pirate before, right?"
Hearing this, Sakaski suddenly raised his head and looked at Porusalino with cold eyes.
"I was indeed careless this time! Let's recheck the specific strength of White Ghost later!"
"This kind of thing sounds like a lot of trouble, why bother a seriously injured sick person like me——"
I noticed that everyone present suddenly became weird and confused.
Porusalino suddenly remembered that Sakaski's injury was far more serious than his, and that it would continue to have an unknown impact on his subsequent naval career, so he said "in hindsight".
"I'm sorry, Sakaski, I didn't mean to do it~
"It's not me who's wrong, it's that guy White Ghost~
"Don't ever try to cause trouble for me, it will be very troublesome~"
"Hahahaha, boy Porusalino, as expected, your words sound really annoying!"
At this moment, a loud laugh interrupted Porusalino's words.
Immediately afterwards, a tall figure appeared at the door of the conference room, wearing a tight black suit and gray hair.
"I feel like you are full of yin and yang!"
"Lieutenant General Garp!"
"Garp!"
A series of shouts of surprise immediately sounded in the conference room. One by one, the senior navy generals stood up from their seats and looked at the naval heroes who appeared in front of the door with joy.
The heavy atmosphere that had almost united the entire conference room was inexplicably swept away after Monkey D. Garp appeared.
"Garp!" Marshal Kong, who was sitting at the top, had a flash of satisfaction in his eyes at first, but then turned into disgust and anger, "Don't just stand there, come and sit down!"
"Hahahaha, Brother Kong, I already heard what happened this time from the sailors on the road."
Garp walked over carelessly, waved his hand to reject the generals who wanted to give him a seat, and casually pulled up an empty chair and sat down.
Ever since Roger was executed in the East China Sea in September 1498, Karp has been on "vacation".
The external explanation is that after the naval hero successfully hunted down the Pirate King, he returned to his hometown in the East China Sea to recuperate.
Only a handful of people know that Garp’s true destination is the South China Sea.
Until the beginning of this year.
After the two ill-fated little devils were born in the South China Sea, Garp had the idea of returning to the Navy Headquarters.
Give the female child [An] to Dorag.
Before Garp left, he went back to his hometown in Donghai and handed over the infant boy [Ace] to a group of familiar bandits to raise him.
‘Even if he carries the name of One Piece’s Supreme Sword, as long as I train him properly, I will definitely be able to help him grow up safely! ’
With this idea in mind, the legendary marine soldier gave a few instructions to the bandits in Goa Kingdom and then left the East China Sea with confidence.
But what the hero didn't expect was.
Just a few days after he left, a descendant of the devil landed in Windmill Village.
But that is all a story for another day and will not be mentioned here.
After Garp sat on the chair, he suddenly had an idea in his heart and twisted his butt a few times uneasily.
Then he forgot about this feeling and just raised his voice and fired.
"Sakaski kid, what you did this time is really ugly!"
When General Sengoku went out on a mission again, the only one in the conference room who dared to reprimand Garp was Marshal Kong, who was sitting at the top.
Marshal Kong looked serious, and he signaled to Garp to stop and not to further irritate Sakaski, who was already seriously injured.
Marshal Kong shouted coldly: "Garp!"
"Brother Kong, do you think I want to provoke this kid into breaking his leg?"
Garp shook his head. The bastard showed unexpected calmness at this moment.
"Navy! Going on a mission and getting injured are all common things!
"What I really can't stand is that Sakaski would order the bombardment of that innocent refugee ship!"
"Lieutenant General Garp!"
Kuzan suddenly shouted excitedly.
During the time since returning to the headquarters, Kuzan has been in a state of awkwardness.
He could feel very clearly that the [Burning Justice] he had originally implemented had been completely shaken after experiencing the O'Hara incident.
Although at that time he had worked with Sakaski to fight against the White Ghost regardless of past grudges, this did not mean that Kuzan could completely ignore what Sakaski had done.
An entire shipload of innocent lives was lost in front of our eyes, and those who ordered the bombardment also belonged to the naval camp and also came from the name of [justice]!
During this time, whenever Kuzan looked at the "Burning Justice" plaque in his office, he always felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
How could Kuzan not be excited now that he saw the naval hero he had always admired criticizing Sakaski outright, also for the sake of the asylum ship?
"Ah? Kuzan, are you actually sitting here?" Garp touched his head, "I thought you died on O'Hara Island!"
Kuzan's expression suddenly became stiff.
Not injured...
Well, a lot of people don’t understand this.
Why are there two navy monster vice-admirals on a mission at the same time?
Sakaski would have part of his right leg chopped off and become disabled for the rest of his life.
Kuzan, who was the first to come into contact with the white ghost, had basically no injuries other than excessive physical exertion.
"Hahahaha, I was just kidding, Kuzan!"
Garp laughed loudly again, reached out his hand, and patted Kuzan hard on the shoulder.
"Lieutenant General Karp!" At this time, Sakaski said coldly, "It was my idea to order the bombardment of the refuge ship. Who can guarantee that there are no archaeologists on the refuge ship?"
Garp responded: "That guy from White Ghost has a lot of bad ideas. How do you know he didn't let those archaeologists go in advance?"
"Garp!"
This time, it was Marshal Kong who stopped Garp.
Sora's face looked extremely ugly at this time. As the marshal of the Navy Headquarters, how could he not know that this demon-slaying order operation had basically failed?
Although O'Hara, the island of scholars, has been completely destroyed by artillery fire.
But what really matters, and what the world government really cares about, is never just O'Hara!
Destroying O'Hara can only be considered as completing the basic goal of the Demon-Slaying Order!
It's enough to shock the sea, but there's no way to do more.
The archaeologists that the World Government really wanted to completely wipe out were suspected to have been saved by the White Ghost!
"I think Garp finally spoke human words for once!"
Zefa, who had always maintained a silent posture, suddenly spoke.
"How can shelling innocent civilians be considered 'justice'?
"Even if there may be archaeologists on the refuge ship, wouldn't there be enough time to search the ship when the demon-slaying order is executed?"
Seeing that the hawks, doves, and neutrals who had always been incompatible with each other were about to have another discussion about 'justice', Marshal Kong suddenly felt a headache.
The navy has a great cause and is indeed the true overlord of the sea!
But who knows the hidden dangers of 'conflict of ideas' in such a large navy?
Sometimes, the conflict between ideas is the most fatal and the most uncompromising...
Kong used the majesty of the marshal to once again barely suppress the debate in the conference room.
"Don't forget the main purpose of this meeting! We held this meeting to discuss the latest bounty on White Ghost and how to deal with him!"
"Hahaha, Brother Kong, how much reward are you going to set for that kid this time?" Garp asked curiously, "You won't directly put a reward of more than two billion Baileys, right?"
"It's impossible, Garp." Zefa shook his head and said, "Although White Ghost's strength is not bad, he has never had the idea of forming a force. The Lone Ranger's bounty cannot reach such a high level."
"Speaking of which, it seems that we have been suppressing White Ghost's bounty before, right?"
Lieutenant General He spoke slowly.
"He has fought against that crazy woman Charlotte Lingling many times. Logically speaking, if he was an ordinary pirate, his reward amount would have skyrocketed long ago."
Speaking of this, Lieutenant General He suddenly paused slightly.
"Furthermore, according to the latest intelligence information, White Ghost seems to have had a fight with Whitebeard on Palm Island in the New World, which lasted for no less than half an hour.
"The most surprising thing is that White Ghost seems to have successfully completed the challenge as a new pirate!"
As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar in the conference room.
Whitebeard's title of "The Strongest Man in the World" is not groundless. It is a reputation he earned with his fists and Naginata Congunri time and time again!
After the Roger Pirates and the Sky Pirates, two of the world's top pirate groups, were disbanded.
The Whitebeard Pirates are almost unique in the new world!
In past years, we would always hear rumors of new pirates challenging Whitebeard.
But those pretentious little guys were not easily defeated and fled.
He was shocked by Whitebeard's courage and became a new member of the Moby Dick, that is, Whitebeard's son.
In the memories of the senior officers of the Navy Headquarters, White Ghost seems to be the first 'newcomer' pirate to successfully challenge Whitebeard!
Kong asked: "Crane, is your information accurate?"
"This is one of the messages that came out from the Moby Dick. It is currently impossible to confirm whether it is true or not, but as long as we send personnel to Palm Island to investigate, I believe that the true or false will be confirmed soon."
Lieutenant General He said.
"There is another thing related to Whitebeard that I didn't plan to mention at the meeting... The Whitebeard Pirates seem to have found Whitebeard's son."
"Pfft hahaha!!"
Garp, who had been listening carefully, couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and almost burst into tears.
"Ahe, are you kidding? Who on the Moby-Dick is not Newgate's son?"
Lieutenant General He rolled up his hair with a calm expression and spoke out a piece of information that almost overturned the conference room.
"I'm talking about... the biological son of Edward Newgate the Whitebeard!"
Bang!
Garp couldn't sit still and fell directly to the floor of the conference room.
Although the other generals were not so exaggerated, they were all frightened and lost their composure.
"Ahe..." Marshal Kong looked strange, "Are you sure that a man like Edward Newgate with white beard can really marry a wife and have children?"
Lieutenant General He glanced at Garp calmly.
"Even guys like Monkey (Munch) can have sons, why not Whitebeard?"
Garp got up from the floor and touched his head.
Strange to say.
Even the top brass of the Navy Headquarters didn't know how Garp, who was always lacking a chord in his head, could give birth to a smart son like Dolag.
Although this son is a bit too smart...
Garp coughed slightly, feeling embarrassed to talk about his son who had left the navy in front of his colleagues, so he tried to drop the subject.
"Ahem... Well, Ahe, what you said does seem to make sense! I just don't know what Newgate's son looks like, and whether he will grow such a strange white beard like his father. ”
"How could I know that kind of thing!" Lieutenant General He glanced at Garp speechlessly, "Even this information was only obtained recently."
Boom!
Marshal Kong stretched out his fingers and tapped the surface of the conference table several times.
"Everyone, let's not talk about white beard and little white beard anymore. Let's go back to the white ghost."
"I think that no matter what, based on what White Ghost did this time and his previous outstanding achievements," Lieutenant General He said, "the reward amount set for him should not be less than one billion Baileys."
"Second!"
"Second!"
Lieutenant General He said: "By the way, I would like to add again that the abilities that White Ghost currently possesses include but are not limited to 'flying', 'emotional interference', 'blue energy cannon', 'predicting the color of the future', 'Teleportation', 'interfering with sea currents'...etc."
"Personally, I think that with the growth rate of White Ghost, he should soon grow to a level similar to the aloof Red Redfield and Golden Lion Shiji. And considering the weirdness of his abilities, it's a bit like the combination of their abilities. body.”
For some reason, Lieutenant General He added two more sentences at the end.
"Fortunately, this 'pirate' who is extremely threatening in our eyes does not seem to like doing evil like other pirates.
"In fact, apart from sometimes interfering with the inexplicable orders of the World Government and passively counterattacking, he behaves more like a pirate hunter who loves to fight crime."
Marshal Kong waved his hand indifferently, "Ahe, there is no need to say these next words."
After a heated discussion, Marshal Kong drafted a new reward order.
Seeing the new bounty amount, all the senior navy officers couldn't help but become slightly distracted.
A major general wearing a coat of justice murmured in a low voice: "It's really an unprecedented increase in the reward..."
"Ahem!"
Just as the meeting was about to end, Marshal Kong coughed twice to regain his attention.
"Finally, here is the latest order from the World Government, dispatching Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp and Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Porusalino to lead warships to hunt down the White Ghost!"
Garp didn't have much of a reaction.
Porusalino pointed to his nose, "Me? Marshal Kong, do you think this task is too difficult?"
Marshal Kong said without any doubt: "This is an order from the World Government!"
"I know it's an order from the World Government!"
There was an imperceptible disgust in Porusalino's tone. It was obvious that this seemingly carefree old man still had fresh memories of the 'Dragon deal' made by the World Government some time ago.
"But I said~
"That monster White Ghost, he can fly~
"How could Lieutenant General Garp and I find traces of him?"
Marshal Kong explained: "Regarding this, the World Government's CP department will join forces with the Navy Headquarters' Search Department to gather all intelligence capabilities and take the lead in collecting the White Ghost's location information."
"But~"
Porusalino wanted to say something else.
Marshal Kong simply interrupted him.
"You two guys who have finished your long vacation will go to Marigioa soon, cross the Red Earth Continent from there, and head to the West Sea first!"
Seeing that Marshal Kong had said this, Porusalino finally stopped struggling.
But he still said something weird: "The legendary holy land~ It's really exciting~"
The next morning.
White Ghost's new reward order, along with the news of O'Hara's destruction, was transmitted to all parts of the world by the news bird of the World Economic News Agency.
"Scholar O'Hara attempted to study forbidden history in an attempt to resurrect ancient weapons that destroyed the world, but has been destroyed by the World Government's demon-slaying order!"
"Anyone who tries to study forbidden history and resurrect ancient weapons will be executed!"
