Chapter 156
He think back to when the news of the Marine's new warship came out.
At that time, many Marines were jealous of this awesome warship that could cross the calm belt and take a shortcut to the four seas.
But those Marines, Rear Admiral, and even a group of Vice Admirals kept pestering Fleet Admiral for a long time, but the Fleet Admiral didn't give in.
Just when everyone thought that the new ship was not good enough, and the Fleet Admiral didn't give it to everyone.
Suddenly, a message came out from within the Marine.
It said that the new warship had been sail away by a new Marine who had just graduated from the elite camp.
At that time, many people were shocked and suspected that it was a false news.
But when they ran to the port and saw it, damn, the warship was really gone.
This made many people anxious and immediately ran to inquire.
Who was so awesome that he snatched the qualification for early experience from so many Marines.
But as soon as they asked, everyone was silent.
My goodness, that's Vice Admiral Garp's grandson, and the disciple that Mr. Zephyr has favored the most in recent years.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Staff Officer Tsuru in private, they both directly called by him as grandpa and grandma.
What's even more outrageous is that this big shot directly took away all the graduates of the elite camp of that year.
Even so, the Fleet Admiral still favored him and let him sail the new warship.
Is there any justice in this world? People with connections are amazing, right?
Because of this matter, people talked about it in private.
Fortunately, not long
the new warship was ready for mass production.
As of today, some have begun to sail.
For example, their base commander, Vice Admiral Garp.
He seized a ship from the Fleet Admiral early, modified it into his own style, and drove it back to the East Blue.
But despite this, the SeaStone warship could not meet the needs of many Marine Rear and Vice Admiral at all.
Most people are still waiting in line for allocation.
It was in this situation that Luffy manage to do something unimaginable.
He got a head of them and sail a more advanced and powerful flying battleship.
This made Kibin, who was still sailing in an ordinary sailing ship, almost jealous.
He had never seen such bullying.
After complaining for a while, Kibin finally calmed down. He looked at the steel behemoth that was about to land at the port with envy.
He shouted loudly, so that the marines who were still watching the show and forgot what they were supposed to do came back to their senses.
"Quick, quick, line up, straighten your appearance! Show the power of our G2 branch!"
Under Kibin's roar, the marines quickly lined up in two neat rows.
If you look closely, you will find that these guys who seem to be just miscellaneous soldiers of the honor guard are all strong and muscular, wearing cloaks of justice.
After the huge warship successfully docked under the guidance of the marines at the base, they immediately grasped their rifle and straightened their backs.
When the automatic gate of the warship was lowered and a figure walked out of it first, they immediately shouted in unison:
"Welcome Rear Admiral Luffy to G2 Branch!"
The full momentum and loud voice made the visitors' eyes light up and sighed softly.
After they finished shouting, the sound of salutes was heard not far away.
However, since Luffy is only a Rear Admiral, he is not a big name.
The salutes only sounded 7 times and then stopped.
"Huh? It's really grand, much better than I thought."
A slightly surprised voice came from the mouth of the man coming down from the warship.
The marines who were close couldn't help but glanced over.
When he first saw that it was a young man coming down, he was a little surprised.
Then he thought that the other party is the grandson of Vice Admiral Garp, and he was promoted after defeating the Seven Warlords of the Sea Crocodile.
But when he saw the group of people following Rear Admiral Luffy, they were completely dumbfounded, with their mouth slightly open and the whole person standing there in a daze.
On the gangway, Luffy slowly walked down the ship.
His eyes casually swept through the team lined up to greet him. Unfortunately, he didn't see the figure of his own grandfather.
"What the hell, I informed you in advance, but you didn't even give me this little bit of face. You are such a stingy person."
He complained in a low voice, but he didn't expect to attract Ain's complaints.
"This is normal, isn't it? How can a grandfather line up to welcome his grandson?
It's a good thing that Vice Admiral Garp didn't rush out and beat you up after receiving your rude request."
After whispering, Ain, as the adjutant, tightened her face, and followed Luffy with a serious and earnest look, maintaining the dignity of the guerrillas.
Next to her, the vice-captain Hina, who was walking side by side with her, seemed much more relaxed and calm than her.
She held a cigarette in her mouth, looking around, sizing up this fortress in the New World.
As a member of the Marine, she knew the importance of the G2 branch to the Marine.
Now, because of the increasingly rampant pirates in the New World
Even the G2 branch with Garp in charge is under tremendous pressure all the time.
Chapter 157
"As expected of a branch in the New World, it is much stronger than the average branch just by looking at it on the surface."
Luffy nodded in agreement, "It must be, otherwise the Marine would have been forced out of the New World by the pirates long ago.""
"They don't have the strength. Unless they unite together, pirates will never be the opponents of the Marine."
Looking at the three people talking in a low voice in front of her, Hancock, who was following behind them with a veil, couldn't help but feel full of resentment.
She is a dignified Shichibukai, but was squeezed behind by these two hateful guys.
Her pretty face under the veil was suddenly as cold as frost.
Staring at the backs of the two women, Hancock gritted her teeth and muttered, as if she could stare them to death in this way.
After Hancock, there were the captains of the 46 teams.
And members with special positions such as Nami, Olivia, and Kalifa.
Most of them are more disciplined, and they don't talk nonsense or look around.
And then Afterwards, the team suddenly became scattered.
Because behind them, except for a few, were all young ladies dressed coolly and beautifully.
They looked around and pointed at the marines lined up on both sides from time to time, comparing them with the men on the ship in surprise.
If it were in the past, the marines of the G2 branch would definitely laugh at such a loose team in their hearts.
But if the target was a group of beautiful women dressed revealingly and with extraordinary beauty, the situation would be very different.
Perhaps it is the nature of men that when they are surrounded by a group of women, pointing and talking.
They unconsciously straightened their backs, as motionless as a tall pine or cypress, showing off their elegance.
But after keeping this way for a while, they couldn't help but cast their eyes on the girls again.
Especially when they saw a few men occasionally mixed in the team.
A sour feeling suddenly surged in their hearts, and they were so envious and jealous of them.
At the same time, they secretly criticized the commander of this unit - Luffy.
It's okay to recruit so many female soldiers, but why don't you let them wear more clothes?
Wearing so little and walking like that in Marine Base is simply immoral and disgraceful!
No, I have to ask them later if they are still recruiting.
I must join this force and criticize them from within!
Not only the marines thought so, even Kibin who came to greet them was stunned for a moment, and had the same idea in his mind. So much so that he completely forgot to step forward and take the initiative to greet Luffy.
It was not until Luffy walked up to him and coughed twice helplessly that he reacted.
He shuddered and shook off all the messy thoughts in his mind.
Kibin hurriedly trotted forward, took the initiative to salute Luffy and greeted:
"Rear Admiral Luffy, welcome to the New World G2 Branch.
I am Commadore Kibin, the acting base commander here. I will arrange your visit and rest later."
Luffy stretched out his hand and shook his hand. He felt that the man in front him looked familiar, so he asked directly:
"Commadore Kibin, have we met somewhere before?"
"That's true. I didn't expect you to still remember me."
Shaking hands with him happily, Kibin said with a little nostalgia and a little embarrassment:
"I had the honor of meeting you when Vice Admiral Garp and I returned to the headquarters.
But at that time, I was just a Lieutenant, so you may not have much impression of me."
As he said this, his face turned red, and he remembered the past.
When he met Luffy that year, Luffy was only 4 or 5 years old and had not yet officially joined the Marine.
And he was already a Lieutenant at that time.
But in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and he has only been promoted to a Commadore.
But Luffy in a year manage to be promoted to Rear Admiral like a rocket, directly surpassing him.
If he hadn't been following Vice Admiral Garp all the time and knew what kind of person he was, he would really think that Luffy was the kind of rubbish who relied on connections to get to the top. When he said this, Luffy remembered
"Oh, I remember, I called you Uncle Kibinat that time.
Uncle Kibin, we are all family, don't be so polite, just call me by my name "
Luffy smiled and showed him goodwill, but Kibin waved his hands in panic, asking him not to say that.
But despite saying that, he was actually a little secretly happy in his heart, and roared a little happily.
No matter if Luffy got in through the back door or not, just based on this call of uncle, I will be a firm Luffy party in the future!
The so-called Luffy party refers to some young people in the current Marine.
A group spontaneously formed due to their admiration for Luffy, the youngest rear admiral of the Marine.
Since most of the members of this group are young female Marine, they are also regarded as Luffy's fan club.
Chapter 158
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while,
Kibin was finally persuaded to stop calling him Rear Admiral Luffy and started calling him by his name.
At the same time, he also insisted that Luffy not call him uncle or something like that.
However, Luffy was just trying to be polite and build a relationship.
After hearing what he said, he followed his lead and continued:
" Kibin-san, you just said that you are the acting base commander of the G2 branch.
What about my grandfather, Vice Admiral Garp? Isn't he here?"
"Uh, that's true."
Kibin nodded and smiled at him helplessly.
"A month ago, Vice Admiral Garp received an order from the Fleet Admiral to return to the headquarters.
Then he went back to the East Blue and has not returned since then.
I am a small Commodore, and I am also trembling with fear when taking over such a large G2 branch.
I am afraid that something will go wrong in the G2 branch when Vice Admiral Garp is not here.
I am too embarrassed to explain to him and the Fleet Admiral."
Hearing this, Luffy's mouth twitched, and he was even more speechless about Garp's unreliability.
Damn it. Such a big branch, you actually said you don't care about it.
What if there are pirates attacking when you are not here?
Aren't you afraid that all the marines here will die, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku will chop you alive?
Hey, wait, who is the admiral who has been on duty in the New World in the past few months?
Oh, Akainu~
That's okay, no wonder the stinky old man has the courage to run away, he know that he has someone that can be count on.
Seeing that Luffy suddenly stopped talking, Kibin did not urge him, but turned his head to look at the marines who were gradually gathering around to peek at the beauty. Only then did he realize that he had let the other party stand outside all the time, and then hurriedly interrupted his thoughts in a low voice, stepped aside and extended his hand to invite:
"Luffy, let's talk about it after we get inside.
The chefs of the G2 branch have prepared feast for you. We can eat and talk at the same time."
Coming back to his senses, Luffy also heard the whispers of the people around him.
Without hesitation, he immediately accepted Kibin's invitation.
With a group of beautiful girls, he entered the G2 branch.
At the same time, Garp had just passed through the government-dedicated channel of the Red Line and was now rushing to the G2 branch.
Looking at the intelligence just sent by the headquarters, Garp felt a little irritable.
Just a few minutes ago, the headquarters suddenly sent a reminder.
It said that the Marine's reconnaissance ship had discovered the traces of the Beasts Pirates in the Sea near to the G2 Branch.
According to the speculation of the reconnaissance ship, the target of the Beasts Pirates is likely to be his G2 branch.
"Bogart, what's going on? Have you contacted Kibin?"
Garp called his adjutant anxiously. Although Akainu was in the New World, he was in the G1 branch, and it would take some time for him to rush over.
If the G2 branch was captured during this time, and his subordinates had been killed, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Following Garp's call, Bogart slowly walked out of the cabin.
But his face looked a little strange, holding a document with a frown on his face.
"Hey, Bogart, what are you looking at? I asked you if you contacted Kibin?"
Garp shouted at him unhappily.
Hearing his shout, Bogart raised his head and walked over with a complicated expression.
"The contact was made, but..."
After a pause, Bogart handed the document to Garp
"Vice Admiral, you should see for yourself."
"What? Why don't you just tell me clearly?"
Garp took the document unhappily and quickly scanned it, while muttering:
"At 7:06 this morning, Rear Admiral Monkey D. Luffy of the headquarters arrived at the G2 branch.....
Nani! Luffy——!!!"
Garp exclaimed in disbelief, holding the document in front of him and reading it carefully word by word.
He read it word by word with wide eyes, and after confirming that he was not hallucinating, Garp put the document down and said in confusion:
"Why did that kid go to the G2 branch?
Didn't I hear from Sengoku that he stayed in the Water 7 to build his new warship?"
Faced with his question, Bogart spread his hands and said that he didn't know.
But he still gave his guess.
"Maybe the warship is ready, and he wants to visit you after entering the New World.
But this is also a good thing, with him around, at least we don't have to worry about the G2 branch being breached in a short time."
Calming down his excitement, Garp picked up the document and looked at it.[]
"Hehehe, he want me to greet him in person.
You disrespectful brat, go clean up my mess!!!"
Garp said this with full of malice, and he was relieved.
However, he did not slow down the warship.
Instead, he ordered the ship to detour and wait for the two sides to fight, and then block the retreat of the Beasts Pirates.
I want to see which brainless bastard actually rushed to attack my G2 branch.
When I get there, I will make you pay!
Chapter 159
At this time, the people of the Beasts Pirates did not know that they had been remembered by a petty old man.
In the New World Sea.
A huge paddle boat similar to the Viking style, decorated with ivory and skulls of unknown animals, was passing through this sea area quickly, approaching the G2 branch. At the bow of the battleship, there is a girl and A little giant wearing a fur cloak and a pair of huge ivory decorations on his shoulders was sitting on a huge chair.
Looking at the rare calm sea ahead, Jack remembered the warning of Boss Kaido before departure.
Go to Doflamingo to complete the transaction and help him deal with some minor troubles.
It was because of Boss Kaido's order that Jack resolutely accepted Doflamingo commission.
Prepare to go to the G2 branch and get rid of everyone there.
"Brother Jack, should we reconsider this?
G2 is the branch where the Iron Fist Garp is stationed. We are no match for him."
Facing his subordinates who came to him cautiously to dissuade him, Jack's face, which was covered by the metal jaw guard, did not show any expression.
He just glanced at his subordinates, who shuddered and took two steps back in fear, and then he withdrew his gaze.
"Who do you think I am? Garp is just an old man, we don't know how much strength he can still exert.
Not to mention that he is not in the G2 branch, even if he is, it is just to add a number to my bounty.
Don't be a coward, pass on my order, speed up, and crush the marine for with me!!"
"...Yes, yes, I'll convey it right away."
The minion responded terrified and turned away quickly.
Jack didn't care about his men's alarmist words. He is part of the Four Emperors Kaido Beast Pirate and one of the three All star under Kaido command.
What's there to be afraid of an outdated vice admiral?
Even if an admiral were there, he would not take them seriously!
If Doflamingo knew that this big fool was so idiotic and stupid.
He would never give him the task. He obviously just told Jack about the relationship between Luffy and Garp and asked him to pay more attention to the branch.
Because Doflamingo judged that Luffy would most likely visit Garp after arriving in the New World.
However, Garp left a month ago for some reason and has not returned until now.
So Doflamingo didn't hold much hope.
He really just mentioned it casually at the time.
Then he quickly sent Jack away from the Kingdom of Dressrosa to prevent the Marine from discovering his cooperation with Kaido.
Who would have thought that this idiot would ran at full speed and went straight to the G2 branch.
Jack's train of thought was surprisingly abnormal. He thought that as long as all the people in the G2 branch were killed,
Garp would definitely come back, and his grandson, his target, would also likely come with him.
It must be said that Jack's idea did make sense.
However, what was even more surprising was that his luck was really good. He chose to act just when Garp returned. What was even more outrageous was that his target, Luffy, was also a guest at the G2 branch at that time.
In the G2 base, Luffy politely had breakfast with Commadore Kibin.
Kibin originally wanted to wait until after the meal, and then take Luffy and a group of senior members of his guerrillas to have a good tour of the base.
Who knew that they hadn't left the restaurant yet.
Suddenly, a marine came running in and informed him of the impending invasion of the Beasts Pirates.
"What did you say! Kaido, of the Four Emperors, is going to attack us?!"
Kibin jumped up from his chair in surprise, holding the man's shoulder and yelling.
The Marine swallowed his saliva, handed the message from Garp to Kibin, and carefully corrected him:
"Commadore, the intelligence only said that the Beasts Pirates were coming, but it didn't say that Kaido himself was coming"
"What difference does it make? Even if Kaido himself doesn't come.
As long as any one of his All Stars comes, we will still be doomed!"
Kibin yelled angrily, and then paced back and forth in the restaurant anxiously.
Seeing him startled and lost his composure just by hearing the name of the Beasts Pirates,
Luffy finally understood why he was only a Commadore after so many years.
Sitting at the dining table, Luffy knocked heavily on the empty plate in front of him, frowned and reminded:
"Commadore Kibin, now is not the time to panic.
Quickly inform the brothers in the branch to prepare for battle. This is what you should do."
"Yes, yes, sound the alarm!"
At Luffy's reminder, Kibin slapped his forehead, stopped immediately, grabbed the signalman, and gave the order.
"You immediately notify everyone and sound the battle alarm.
Have all units quickly gather at their battle posts, and have all coastal defense artillery be activated to prepare for the attack.
Oh, by the way, notify all the warships that can still move to leave the port.
When the Beasts Pirates arrive, cooperate with the base to launch artillery strikes!"
Chapter 160
After a series of orders were given, the arrangements were in good order.
From this, it can be seen that Kibin is still quite capable, but his mentality is not good, and he is easily scared.
After receiving the order, the marine immediately turned around and left to convey it.
Kibin watched him run out of the restaurant, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Luffy.
"Rear Admiral Luffy, you...."
Wiping his mouth, Luffy stood up and shook his head. He didn't need to say anything more.
"I understand. My troops will cooperate with you.
If there are any Beast Pirates officers came, you can leave them to me."
Kibin looked at him gratefully, apologized, and ran away to make preparations. Hina put out her cigarette, stood up from her seat, and looked at Kibin's departing back. She whispered:
"He is a very incompetent base commander.
It is unreasonable to be in a panic before the enemy arrives."
While talking, Ain, Hancock, and Kalifa also gathered together.
Since the other women were arranged elsewhere, Luffy instructed them:
"Okay, no more gossip.
Ain, go find Nami, and take 10 teams with her to take off on Stormbreaker and prepare for air support.
Tell Usopp that it's time for him to show his skills!"
"Understood"
"Hina, Kujaku, go gather the remaining team members and ask them to help the G2 branch build a defense line.
Hancock, Kalifa, you guys follow me and wait for my arrangements."
Faced with the serious Luffy, the girls stopped laughing.
After taking the order seriously, they dispersed to prepare.
Luffy took Hancock and Kalifa with him and walked towards the port.
At this time, the alarm of the base was sounded.
No matter what the Marine of the branch was doing at this time, they hurriedly put down their work and ran to the designated location to assemble.
The broadcast in the base also sounded at this time, informing everyone of the news that the Beasts Pirates were about to attack.
Hearing that the invading pirates were the famous Four Emperors Pirates, many people panicked for a while.
After all, their real base commander, Vice Admiral Garp, was not there.
If Kaido, the King of Beasts, comes, they have no way to fight him.
However, they are elite soldiers in the New World, such a dangerous sea.
After a brief panic, they quickly began to enter the fortifications under the comfort and orders of their respective superiors.
At the same time, various logistical supplies were constantly moved out of the warehouse and transported to various locations.
While the marines of the branch were busy.
Soon, a beautiful landscape joined in under the leadership of Hina and Kujaku.
Seeing this the G2 branch marines looked up in surprise, some even whispered to each other at this time.
"Hey, look, aren't those Rear Admiral Luffy's subordinates who just arrived today?"
"No way, how can they all be women, and wearing so little!"
"Hey, look at them, the snakes in their hands have turned into bows and arrows."
"Huh? It's true, but I seem to have heard of this peculiar fighting style somewhere before."
Several marines who were responsible for loading the coastal artillery started discussing in a low voice....
A major officer who was in charge of inspecting the fortifications happened to pass by and saw that they were still distracted at this time. He immediately became furious and strode forward and scolded:
"Idiots! What are you doing?!
The enemy is about to attack, and you still have the time to smile and laugh!
If you don't want to live, jump into the sea and drown yourself, don't let your comrades suffer!"
""I'm sorry, sir!"
After apologizing quickly, the few people didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly began to check the barrel and load the shells.
After staring at them for a long time, the officer snorted heavily and ignored them.
He continued to supervise the preparations of the marines in other places.
After the officer left, the few people still didn't dare to be lazy.
But their eyes would still look at the eye-catching Kuja warriors from time to time.
Until one of them suddenly exclaimed, scaring them.
"I remembered it!"
A marine shouted in surprise.
His colleagues around him were all startled.
One of the marines holding the shell trembled so much that the shell almost slipped out of his hand and took them all away.
The marine hurriedly hugged the shell tightly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the man who was yelling and was about to scold him.
But the man did not notice him, but excitedly clenched his fist and said to his companions:
"They are the legendary warriors of Amazon Lily who are all powerful.
Great, with them, our chances of winning are much better than before!"
