Marineford:
Seeing how a young girl like Perona destroyed Luffy's spiritual being with her negative ghosts made Garp unable to speak, before exploding with anger from the next scene of his grandson's loss.
"Wow, she has an extraordinary ability... Anyway, I don't think she would work against a powerful Haki user."
Sengoku shook his head after hearing Tsuru's words, before raising a question that has always puzzled people like them.
"Specifically, I'm wondering why nothing has been mentioned about Haki and its types since the beginning of the story until now… isn't this strange? Even a captain from the Marine headquarters like Smoker doesn't know how to use Haki, it hasn't been spoken about before, even though it's known that he wouldn't graduate from the headquarters without mastering the basics of Haki types."
Inside Sengoku's office was only he, Garp, and Tsuru present.
The three admirals and the assistant admiral Zephyr had already left to plan for their mission assigned to them by the fleet admiral.
"Garp... it seems that you didn't teach your grandson anything except throwing him off cliffs and making him experience the harshness of nature."
Garp looked at Sengoku while digging his thumb into his nose as if saying, "What? Are you talking about me?"
"Garp who was in the manga had different circumstances than me now… I know a lot about my grandson and his future, so of course, if I got the same grandson this time, my treatment of him would be different."
Tsuru felt a tightness in her chest for some reason after hearing this, as an unmarried, childless woman, she felt a little bitter taste… now only did she realize that she might have ignored something extremely important all this time.
After seeing herself as an old and short woman in the manga, she felt a great sense of disappointment and sadness over how much she had changed over the years to reach that point. Time was certainly not merciful.
Seeing Tsuru's disappointed expression pained Sengoku's heart for this unrelated matter quickly.
"By the way, have you found your son yet or not? Maybe he's already met Luffy's mother."
"Don't mention that... the runaway Dragon has already entered the hidden dragon mode, it's impossible to find him, he may be in a random art store... where should I start searching? I don't know... just tell those fuckers Gorosei and the female Lord on their heads to search for him themselves, I have no relation to him."
…
In the art store of "Sorbet Kingdom":
"Aaacho!" Dragon sneezed strongly, interrupting his immersion in the manga events for the moment.
"It seems that Vice-Admiral Garp is cursing you again, Captain, Mmmfufufu~"
"Iva...stop being so obvious, don't forget our mission here," Dragon said.
"When we finish, you'll return to the Kamabakka Kingdom." He added.
Upon hearing this, Crocodile felt extremely happy! As if he had finally been saved.
...
"Dammit! What's happening with Luffy? Can't he use the second gear to explode the damn armor he's wearing with the spider web that binds him?"
Back in the Marine headquarters office, Garp is still agitated by the current events in Marineford.
"Silly! He wants to become a sea cucumber!? What about the Pirate King!?"
Veins appeared on Garp's forehead after seeing this ridiculous scene, while Sengoku muffled his laughter after seeing his angry friend's reaction.

"One piece" Events:
—————————
The negative hollows released by Perona through Luffy's body caused a repeat of the previous scene: "If I could be reborn… I want to be a sea cucumber… I'm gonna die."
Seeing this scene, even Absalom felt compassion for Luffy: "Making the man who said he'd be the pirate king a sea cucumber is cruel."
After a minute, Luffy was stripped of his armor, tied up and suspended on a vertical rope, then Moria ordered to turn on the lights behind Luffy:
"Hit the lights!!!"
It appeared that Luffy had regained consciousness, but he was already too late: "What are you doing?! Damn it!! I'll remember this, you guys!!! WHA?"
Luffy's words stopped in his throat when he saw a ridiculous scene, his shadow was extracted from the ground by Moria as if it were a physical thing: "Huh?! What's that... My shadow!?"
With a sinister smile, Moria cut Luffy's shadow off his body using scissors, causing Luffy to lose consciousness afterwards.
"Fufufu..." Dr. Hogback laughed after seeing this scene.
"Kishishishishi!!" Moria couldn't contain his excitement after capturing a strong shadow in his hand.
"I've got it!! A fighting strength worth 300 Million Berry!!!"
"With this, the strongest 'special zombies' in history will be born!!!"
•———•———•———•———•———•———•———•
"What's happening!!! Curse!!!"
At this moment, Garp's loud voice echoed throughout Marinford.
"Strange, why didn't Luffy resist before that?" Even Sengoku felt a sense of attachment to the matter.
"If he resisted, we wouldn't be able to see how Moria steals the shadows of his victims, it was somewhat exciting."
Tsuru said with a concerned expression.
"No need to worry, Garp, hasn't your grandson and his crew lost before? This is natural. This Moria will be defeated later." Tsuru added.
"Sengoku! Why did you send Momonga to deliver the invitation to that warf instead of me?" Garp asked with an annoyed tone.
"What!? Didn't I suggest that to you first, but you refused!? "
Garp's eyes widened when he heard this, he shook his head calmly while he was recalling past memories.
"Oh, right... It looks like I missed a golden opportunity to feed the bloodthirsty bastard my special hatred fist."
"When did you have a fist by this name? As far as I know, you only have a love fist... "
"I made it specifically for Moria."
"He's a Shichibukai now, it's not allowed for you to harm him..." Sengoku trembled after seeing Garp's fierce expression.
...
On an unknown island in the first half of the Grand Line:
A proud pirate ship can be seen anchored near the shore. The ship appeared red and luxurious, in the middle of it there is a huge egg that holds some intriguing secrets. Yes, this was the ship of the pirate king who earned this title early enough to reach the peak of his life.
Oro Jackson!
"Wahahahaha!!"
Unlike Garp, Roger laughed loudly at the scene of Luffy being beaten.
"Hahahaha! From a pirate king to a sea cucumber! Hilarious!"
As he drank sake, Roger couldn't contain his laughter, the scene was too funny after all.
"Touching truly, Hahaha! It reminded me of our adventures in the first half of the Grand Line when we were still ignorant of the sky's height like them."
Even Gaban was enjoying the manga so far.
The same goes for the other crew members.
"Oh man, what a weak this kid who you chose to inherit the captain's will."
"What did you say!?"
With a few murmurs, another battle broke out between Buggy and Shanks.
...
"Dear, what do you think of this arc so far?"
Rouge, Roger's wife, asked as he was still reading the manga with a smiling expression.
"Hmm? It's good, intriguing. It looks like Moria has a story in the new world too... we'll see later how the situation develops."
"Either way, his crew is still just a crew from paradise. If Luffy and his companions can't surpass them, it's best for them to withdraw from the piracy domain."
"Captain, how long will we wait for Rayleigh-San here, when will he return?"
Shanks, the trainee of Roger's crew, asked.
"He said he's already on his way, let's wait for him calmly."
