Inside the Marshal's office.
Garp had already walked in and Sengoku was just outside the door, leaning against the wall and looking at the sky in silence.
Inside, Sakasugi sat at the head of the table and Kizaru sat at the side. When he saw the person, he was first surprised.
"Oh, Mr. Karp, long time no see. You have done a great thing this time. Kuro has just become a Great Admiral candidate. In the first battle, he actually let a small pirate with only 400 million run away from his hands. If this gets out, it will be very bad for Marine's prestige."
"Puhaha, I don't think giving a grandson is related to Marine prestige, Borusalino." Garp laughed.
"Karp!"
Sakasugi shouted in a deep voice: "You are a Marine Hero, you should carry out justice, or have you forgotten the mission of justice for the sake of love!"
"Puhaha, I'm old after all, it's time for me to leave. How about I leave?" Garp said.
These words silenced Sakasugi and Kizaru.
He really could not retreat.
The retirement of the higher-ups is not something they can manage. It is the World Government that manages it.
Such a small matter could not force Garp to retreat.
"Hahaha, don't be so serious, I can solve it."
Seeing Sakasugi and Kizaru fall silent, Garp waved his hand and said with a smile, "I owe Kuro a favor. Kuro has reminded me before that he has no foundation if he wants to go to the New World. So be it. G-3 will be replaced and Kuro will be the base commander. As for me, I will focus on teaching the new recruits."
Kizaru was surprised. "Oh, can we really do that, Mr. Karp?"
"I can't help it, I'm tired." Garp smiled.
"Forget it… Since you mention it, Garp, as you wish." Sakasugi nodded, "G-3 to Luciru Kuro, you continue to teach the new recruits. As for the specifics, I will explain it to Gorōsei."
"Hahaha, do as you see fit, Sakasugi."
Garp laughed. "I won't accompany you."
With that, he turned around and left.
Kizaru narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Garp's back as he left. He held the teacup and took a sip, "Oh ~ It saves some effort."
Sakasugi said nothing, but clenched his fist and triggered another red light.
"The Marine led by this old man will definitely end the so-called Pirate Era!"
… .
"Achoo!"
Suddenly, Kuro sneezed for no reason.
He turned to look out of the window. A breeze blew in from the open window, making Kuro feel comfortable.
"I don't know if Karp has pleaded for me to stay in the first half."
Kuro murmured, "If we can't keep it, we can find a small base near the Red Earth in the New World. It's best if it's behind the Headquarters. Then it will be very safe."
Beside him, Crowe adjusted his glasses and pursed his lips without saying anything.
Kuro looked at him and said, "Think about it. If I really can't stay in the first half, where can Headquarters throw me?"
Just as Headquarters was considering Kuro's station, Kuro was also considering it himself.
There was indeed no room for him.
"Mr. Kuro, this is Headquarters' consideration. We… can't guess," said Crowe.
"Hiss…"
Kuro pondered for a while and suddenly said, "What do you think if I apply for Mariwando? A different place is also suitable for Vice-Admiral garrison and it is also in the first half."
"I'm afraid not," Crowe said bluntly.
Marin Van Do gave them Fish Pie out of compensation for Kuro killing Ledfield without promotion.
That place is guarded by Brother Stolobelli. Although it is not the Headquarters now, its influence is still there. Most of the Marines in the first half will run there. In the long run, it will give many people to Fish Pila.
It would be good if he could garrison such a good place.
Although they are not as strong as the new headquarters in terms of defense, the old headquarters is still there. In comparison, Marin Van Do is now absolutely safe.
"Forget it, I'm embarrassed. We're all from the same faction, why should I embarrass the old man? And the Headquarters will probably not agree. If Brother Stolobelli still has an opinion, it will be difficult."
Kuro shook his head and said, "I'm not in the same position as the old man. I'm still a newbie. It's not suitable for me to snatch the territory of the old backbone. It's better to snatch the territory of my own family."
In response, Crowe said, Are you kidding?
You are not in the same position as Admiral Kizaru, but you are not bad either. The name of the Crown Prince of Kizaru's faction is famous in the Marine.
Snatching the territory of the same faction?
Not to mention that Admiral Kizaru did not agree, even if he agreed, he could not do so.
'How?'
Is there a problem with this Crown Prince? Why is he so shameless as to start snatching the territory of his own faction?
Or is Kizaru's prestige not enough?
Or is Headquarters looking down on you?
"Indeed."
Crowe suppressed most of the words in his heart and said, "Vice-Admiral Stolobelli can be in Marin Vando because he himself is also a literary and martialist."
Yes, although Stolobelli is good at martial arts, he is a standard literary fighter who lives on his head.
"Me too," Kuro said. "I also rely on my brain for a living."
Crowe said nothing.
What the hell does the Civil War Faction have to do with you!
Don't you know what your reputation is in the Marine Corps!
You can't be any more pure in martial arts!
"Other than Marin Van Do, there are no more seats."
Kuro touched his chin and said, "There are only so many branch bases belonging to the headquarters. Now the new headquarters is in the New World, and those branch bases have also been changed. The famous Vice-Admiral has gone to the New World to change the branch bases. I can't say that it's not appropriate for me to go and rob the bases that they have painstakingly built…"
The project of relocating the new headquarters is not just a simple relocation of the new headquarters. The headquarters has been changed, and those important branches guarding the Grand Line route have to be changed. They are no longer suitable to stay in the first half of the Grand Line and have been changed to the New World.
All Marine factions are occupied.
Where could he change?
"G-5?" Crowe thought for a moment and asked.
"Impossible. Smoker should have reserved that place. Aokiji's faction is very concerned about it." Kuro shook his head.
"G-3?" Crowe continued.
"What a joke."
Kuro rolled his eyes and said, "It's impossible for Garp to retreat. The title of Marine Hero is still very useful. The World Government will not let Garp retreat. G-3 is one of the few important bases in the New World from the beginning. Once Garp retreats, unless there is someone who can steadily replace him and ensure that the nearby sea is not disturbed."
"The pirates of New World are different from the pirates of Paradise. There are too many people who take the initiative to attack the Marine base and dream of obtaining fame territory and Marine weapons."
Who can replace Garp?
No one's okay.
