Marineford:
"I knew it."
Standing beside the cargo ship carrying printed and copied manga volumes from the original volumes, Sengoku gazed out at the distant sea with troubled eyes.
"You knew what?"
Next to him stood the Great Staff Officer, Tsuru, who asked with her usual demeanor.
"Pirates no longer have any influence on this sea. Only One Piece manga controls it. Now a new volume titled 'War' has emerged. What do you think will happen after today, Tsuru-chan?"
Sengoku spoke with a casual expression, as if he had been accustomed to it for a long time.
"You're saying that if pirates no longer have an influence on the sea, then the Marines have also lost the purpose of their existence, right?"
Tsuru paused for a moment before sighing and answering Sengoku's question.
"Sigh~ I suppose the new volume is where the crew will finally reach the Red Line, the place closest to our headquarters. Since we can't describe the battle between Marine Headquarters and the Straw Hat Pirates as a minor war, let alone a summit war, I'll assume the war has nothing to do with Luffy and his Nakama."
"So who will it be... Could it really be the Whitebeard--"
"Fleet Admiral, I apologize for the interruption, but all the officers in the higher ranks have received their respective volumes. The second shipment has also been distributed to the soldiers in the lower ranks. The Sunday break has officially begun, and the selected individuals have entered service. Everything is as you ordered."
At that moment, an rear admiral came from behind and announced.
"Well, good job... Come, Tsuru, let's return to my office, although I don't want to see Garp's face."

"One Piece" Events:
—————————
[Holy Land "Marigoa"]
"Bartholomew Kuma... Are you saying that they ran away, in spite of your ability? Make a better excuse!! I'm the one that has to report it to the higher-ups!!!"
Sengoku exploded in anger upon Bartholomew Kuma's return, even though he already knew that the Straw Hat Pirates had escaped his clutches and even toppled the Golden Lion in their path.
"Buwahahahaha!! That's my grandson for ya!!"
As if he wasn't lacking anger, Garp added fuel to the fire with his laughter.
"Shut up, Garp!!!"
Sengoku turned towards Kuma and began to speak:
"You had a government order to wipe out the entire crew, and you didn't even come back with Strawhat Luffy's head. This is a disgrace!"
"Shoot at the target..."
Kuma pretended to be a robot.
"What's that!?"
Sengoku's anger increased.
"Relax, Sengoku—. Luffy is not the kind of pitiful man who would spread around the fact that he defeated Moria and Shiki," said Garp.
"Hmph...!! Kuma... You bastard, don't tell me you felt pity for the injured pirates. But since you spared that crew, we no longer need to follow them."
"Right. Now they are being led by the 'log,' so they are slowly getting closer to Marine Headquarters."
"... That's true..." replied Kuma.
"Oh yeah, I brought the first tea of the season!! Bring out the rice crackers!!" exclaimed Garp all of a sudden.
"SHUT THE HELL UP, GARP, YOU BASTARD!!!"
•———•———•———•———•———•
"Buwahahahaha!"
Inside the office of the Fleet Admiral, Garp burst into laughter as he read the events of this paragraph.
"Seeing Sengoku angry in the manga, just like in real life, makes me want to provoke him even more! Huh! Did I just mention the first tea of the season?"
"Along with rice crackers... I wonder how they would taste..."
Garp swallowed his saliva as he saw his manga version boasting about the latest season's tea and rice crackers.
"Garp! Why don't you take things more seriously, even just once in your life?"
"The Hunters' Guild refused to transfer the Golden Lion prisoner from the Central Prison to Impel Down... In addition, they rejected the World Government's call for peace. This means that the arc we are reading now will lead to catastrophic events..."
"Garp... If you're going to remain indifferent, then take off your military uniform and leave with dignity."
When Sengoku entered his office, he composed his emotions and spoke about the orders given by the Five Elders.
"Oh... Alright."
Garp pinched his nose with his little finger, displaying an indifferent expression as if he truly didn't care.
"There's no need to worry, Sengoku. Nothing significant will happen because of this arc."
"This world has already become more peaceful."
"Stop spouting nonsense. We don't trust the Hunters' Guild!"
"Their goal of world domination is already clear."
"Sengoku... What do you think? Do you prefer the peaceful rule of the Hunters' Guild or the 'Celestial Dragons,' those swine?"
Sengoku's eyelashes trembled upon hearing that.
He couldn't help but shout, "GAAAAARP!!"
