Before he could finish speaking, another voice came.
"Hey, Luffy, how did you run over here? Eh, Ian and the others are here too... Hey, hey, hey, why are you pulling me? I was going to go say hello."
Before Nami, who had run over, could finish speaking, she was snatched by Luffy and directly carried away as he bounced off, leaving behind only one sentence, we need to hurry and go save Teach, before the two disappeared without a trace.
"This kid really plans to go save Teach?"
Zephyr said with a laughing expression as he watched Luffy fly away while shaking his head helplessly. "That careless personality really is just like that old guy, Garp!"
"Let's go. Inform Law and Kuma and the others."
Ian said as he stood up directly after seeing that everyone was full. "It's time for us to leave as well."
"When?"
"Tonight!"
As soon as those words fell, Zephyr froze for a moment, then looked at Ian with a strange expression, but quickly returned to his cheerful smile.
"Tonight? Looks like tonight will be very lively!"
As he spoke, he picked up the child and was about to leave when he suddenly felt something cool on his face.
He looked up. "Is it raining? And it seems pretty heavy!"
...
At the same time, over at Marine Headquarters.
When the news that Rocks' son existed spread, the entire upper echelon of Marine Headquarters revealed astonished expressions.
Although after the battle at the God Valley, in order not to cause too much chaos, the World Government deliberately erased the information about God Valley, only releasing news that the Rocks Pirates had intended to dominate the seas and were ultimately defeated by the joint efforts of the hero of the marines and the King of the Pirates, as someone who understood what had actually happened in that battle, Tsuru was very clear about the truth of God Valley back then.
She hadn't expected that Rocks actually had a son?
As if thinking of something, Tsuru frowned and muttered to herself: "So back then, were Rocks actually doing it for his child?"
As soon as her words fell…
"Tsuru."
A reprimanding voice rang out, instantly snapping Tsuru back to attention.
Sensing the curious gazes around her, she revealed a smile. "Sorry, I got a bit distracted. It's just that this news is too unexpected. Can you confirm its authenticity?"
"The World Government has already investigated it thoroughly."
Sengoku nodded. He was also very clear about the impact that war back then had brought.
It was also after that war that he and Garp began walking down different paths. He continued to adhere to the justice in his heart, while Garp began to feel confused about his own sense of justice.
But because of Sengoku's request and for the stability of the seas, Garp ultimately chose to stay.
"No wonder Vegapunk suddenly set his sights on an ordinary crew member on Whitebeard's ship."
Tsuru sighed with emotion. "If this news gets out, the entire sea will probably boil over, especially the pirates in the New World. Quite a few of them might choose to follow that guy."
Rocks' influence was simply too great. This was also why the World Government chose to erase information about Rocks. But no matter how much they erased, the traces left behind could never completely disappear.
And once a crack appeared, information that had clearly been completely erased would, at that moment, continuously emerge from all directions until the truth was exposed.
"This is exactly what I'm worried about. So we must act quickly. Before we capture him, we absolutely cannot let the news leak out."
Sengoku also let out a long sigh, a hint of sharpness appearing in his eyes. "We cannot allow the blood of Rocks to continue surviving on this sea!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Sakazuki and Kuzan in front of him, and finally, his gaze landed on Kuzan. "I'll have to trouble you to make a trip."
As soon as his words fell…
"Purururu!"
The Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly rang.
Sengoku frowned, but still picked it up.
Just after saying "Hello."
He seemed to hear something, and a panicked expression appeared on his face. He slammed the table and stood up. "Damn it! Do you even know the current situation? Three marine admirals? Does the World Government really not worry that once the pirates in the New World get the news, they will not attack the Marine Headquarters?"
Beep! Beep! Beep!
However, no matter how he roared, in the end, the Den Den Mushi was hung up.
Looking at the disconnected Den Den Mushi, Sengoku slumped back into his chair.
Just as everyone was wondering what exactly had happened, Sengoku slowly raised his head. His complicated gaze swept over everyone present as he spoke in a serious tone. "Mission change."
His eyes fell on Kuzan and Sakazuki. "You two… move out together! And also..."
He swept his gaze over the Vice Admiral Marine and Rear-Admirals to the side, his tone still serious. "Onigumo, Momousagi, Doberman, Strawberry, Dalmatian, Doll... Each of you leads your fleet and goes together. You must bring the person back before daybreak!"
Everyone: "...?!"
As soon as those words fell, everyone froze. Such a lineup... Tsuru seemed to guess something. After a moment of shock, she spoke in a questioning tone: "This is..."
"The Buster Call?"
…
"Buster Call?"
Hearing the Den Den Mushi call coming from Marine Headquarters, Borsalino was so startled that he jumped straight up from the sofa.
With a dark expression, he spoke into the Den Den Mushi: "Wasn't it said that everything should prioritize escorting Marshall D. Teach? Why suddenly initiate a Buster Call?"
Sengoku: "..."
However, in response to Borsalino's questioning, Den Den Mushi in his hand remained silent, its expression likewise darkening.
Seeing this, Borsalino seemed to understand something. He directly covered his face and sighed. "Ah, it looks like even you, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, are having quite the headache."
To be able to give the Fleet Admiral of Marine Headquarters such a headache, how could he, as an Admiral, not guess...
This decision had been made by the World Government. It was just that he did not understand why those guys would issue such an order at this time.
Aren't they afraid that something might go wrong with the escort mission?
