This was the first time for Vlad to see this man. He was one of the most powerful men in the past era and one of the most famous men on the sea. He has played an important role in the legend of One Piece and people are talking about it. The only man to ascend to the throne, almost died in the hands of this naval hero.
Because of freedom and because he wanted to pursue Roger, this man gave up the opportunity to be promoted to admiral. However, there is no need for any doubts. Twenty years ago, this old man was listed as the most powerful monster in the navy together with Sengok. In fact, they are equivalent to the three generals of the previous generation. Until now, they are still active in this chaotic sea as a naval hero.
Vlad looked at this old man who was masked for the first time but had been friends with him for a long time. He had a strong figure and a white suit that was stretched tightly, which highlighted his majestic figure. There was a scar at the corner of his left eye. , his hair and beard are all white, and the most eye-catching thing is his smile.
That is the most unscrupulous and bold smile!
He put his big hands in his trouser pockets and strode into the bar with his legs. Behind him, followed a guy with a big chin and a thick beard covering it. He had a lit cigar in his mouth and carried a He wore a navy hat, his eyes were squinted, and he always had a smile on his face. He was equipped with a sword. Vlad knew this guy. He was a lieutenant general in the navy headquarters. He was known as Yamakaji. He was not weak in strength.
Behind him was a guy wearing a gray suit and holding a sword in his arms. Vlad also had some impression of this guy and seemed to be Garp's adjutant. After that came a group of marines with loaded guns and live ammunition.
"Hey, hahahaha, long time no see! Golden Lion!"
This man, Iron Fist Garp, sat down where Rayleigh had been sitting before and laughed, "You guys, you look quite energetic!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Bah bang bang!!!"
This navy hero slapped his big hands on the counter, with the most exaggerated smile on his face, and even tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
"Hey Shiki, how does it feel to be defeated by a junior pirate?"
Garp looked very happy. After all, the Golden Lion had caused great harm to the navy back then. Now Garp would not feel uncomfortable seeing his old enemy in trouble. Happiness is the most appropriate reaction.
"Jiehahahaha!"
Shiki, the golden lion, showed no sign of weakness and immediately retorted, "I am very satisfied to have such a junior among the pirates. This shows that what Roger said back then was not without effect! It's you, old mad dog!"
The golden lion said, "How is the navy now? Does the navy still have enough strength to deal with the sea that is gradually starting to go berserk?"
Contrary to what most people think, the navy's biggest opponent is not the Yonko who dominates the New World. To be honest, the Yonko is indeed very dangerous and a huge force that can shake the world. However, the New World is not an important place. If it were not for the existence of Laugh Tale, perhaps the government would simply abandon the New World and leave it to the Four Emperors.
After all, the New World is only so big. Compared with the vast four seas, it is really nothing to mention. Even if the Four Emperors turn the New World over, it will not cause any loss to the government.
Therefore, the navy has no reason to go to war with the four emperors, and the four emperors have no intention of fighting to the death with the navy. After all, the enemy of pirates is the pirate after all. On the sea, the fight between pirates is the most brutal. There is no doubt about this. The navy actually wants to let the four emperors go. After all, the four emperors themselves will continue to destroy new pirates who dare to enter the new world for the navy.
Therefore, the navy is not really worried about the issue of the four emperors. After all, the four emperors have been in power for only ten years, while the government and the navy have been ruling for eight hundred years. The so-called invincible four emperors are only temporary for the navy. It's just a pattern. As long as a strong newcomer appears, it will only be a matter of time before it collapses. In fact, this is really true.
The real enemies of the navy are the numerous and soulless pirates. These pirates who do not have the ideal of galloping in the Grand Line and the New World are the main enemies of the navy.
As the Golden Lion said, with the gradual development of the times, it has become the consensus of almost all broad-minded men that men go to sea to pursue their dreams. The number of pirates has begun to grow unprecedentedly, and the navy is, after all, limited.
"Ha ha ha ha,"
Garp didn't care at all about Golden Lion's words, and smiled boldly, "You don't need to care about this, Golden Lion, now the prison in Impel Down has been cleaned for you!"
"Pfft hahaha! You escaped back then, I will definitely let you enjoy it this time!"
"Hey, hey, Lieutenant General Garp!"
Vlad, who had been left alone for a long time, said, "We can't take Senior Golden Lion away now!"
"Our deal hasn't been concluded yet!"
"Oh, it's you kid!"
Garp then turned to look at Vlad, looking very surprised, "You are the fire dragon! The guy who defeated Zed and then the Golden Lion!"
"Well, that's right, Mr. Garp, I am the fire dragon!"
Vlad showed no sign of restraint and smiled fearlessly, "Speaking of defeating Mr. Zed, it doesn't really count. Mr. Zed is super strong!"
"Hahahaha, indeed, that man is indeed super strong!"
Garp said so.
"Okay, Mr. Garp, cut the chase!"
Vlad said, "Where's what I want?"
"Yeah?"
Garp's expression became serious. Vlad was not his colleague, let alone his family. No matter now or in the future when Vlad becomes the Shichibukai, the positions of both sides are different. "It seems like you are already very anxiously waiting!"
"Don't worry, Fire Dragon. The government has received Moria's statement, and the Shichibukai's acceptance of you will be published in today's newspaper,"
This naval hero is not the kind of person who is careless. When he becomes serious, the old man exudes a strong sense of oppression, "So——"
"Yeah?"
Vlad replied, "This is not possible! Lieutenant General Garp!"
"I can't trust you. Just like you don't trust pirates, I have no trust in the government or the navy at all. I won't just play the last card like this before the final result comes out!"
"Hahahaha! Interesting,"
The naval hero, Iron Fist Garp, smiled and said, "You kid, do you want to compete with me ?"
"Give it a try!"
Vlad said with a smile.
Yamakaji and the man in gray clothes who were following Garp slowly pushed out the swords in their hands. The sailors who followed took off their guns and pointed them at Vlad. The situation was about to break out! !
"Crack!!"
At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed, and a man appeared in the bar with a lazy look on his face and a newspaper chapter in his hand.
"Hey, Fire Dragon! What you asked for is here!"
He raised the newspaper in his hand and said so.
"Uhahahaha!"
Vlad laughed, "Looks like there's no need to fight! Lieutenant General Garp!"
Vlad could easily read the large words on the newspaper.
"New Shichibukai - Fire Dragon!!!"
