Kingdom of Goa!
Foosha Village.
A Marine warship is anchored in the bay.
Because the warship had a deep draft, it did not approach the pier.
Its flying Marine flag is the safest symbol for the residents of the town.
That's right!
Hometown treasure, Vice Admiral Garp, is back to beat Luffy and Ace.
He wants to use the iron fist of "love" to influence them and make them give up their dream of being pirates and becoming the King of Pirates.
The son rebelled, and the grandson rebelled.
What face does he have, to be Marine Vice Admiral?
However, the frequency with which he came back once a month really moved the pirates in East Blue to the point of crying to death.
Every time they go out, they have to look at the almanac to estimate whether it is the day when Garp will return home.
No way.
Every time Garp is pissed off by Luffy and Ace, he can only vent his anger on them.
Who told you pirates to spoil my grandson?
Grasp!
Catch them all!
If there is a Peace Prize in the One Piece World, the East Blue piece must be awarded to Garp.
With his own strength, he guarded East Blue.
Killed countless One Piece dreams in the cradle.
Lounge chairs on deck.
Kuzan was lying with his legs crossed, his hands crossed and his fingers clasped in front of him, enjoying the sunshine and listening to the music.
Aokiji Kuzan, before becoming Admiral, followed Garp as his adjutant.
One Vice Admiral acts as an adjutant to another Vice Admiral. Only Garp can enjoy this kind of treatment.
On the one hand, Garp's status is there—not an Admiral, but with as much influence as an Admiral, or even greater influence.
Since the Battle of the Valley of Gods, he has become the most distinctive banner of Marine, and he is a "Marine Hero" admired by countless Marines.
His reputation in Marine is as loud as Roger's reputation in Pirates.
It can be said that he influenced a generation.
Kuzan is also his admirer.
On the other hand, after the Ohara incident, Kuzan's attitude became increasingly negative, and his personality became lazy on many things.
From "burning justice" to "lazy justice," he started to be a Marine and work every day.
This made Kong and other high-level officials quite dissatisfied.
Just throw him to Garp, who also entered the life of the elderly early, and paddle together.
East Blue, what a peaceful place.
Kuzan is in a good mood.
The world is too noisy; he just wants to be quiet.
"Ok?"
Suddenly.
Kuzan opened his eyes, and a shadow fell, just blocking the sun.
The fluttering flag is based on blood.
In the middle is a circle.
On the edge of the circle, there are undulating wind, angular thunder, twisted fire, wavy water, and immobile mountains forming cloud-like patterns.
Inside is a black dragon hovering sideways.
It has no wings.
It has horns like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, neck like a snake, belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like a cow.
The open mouth is full of fangs.
Dancing four feet, with five claws.
At first glance, Kuzan thought it was Kaido, who changed the flag and came to East Blue.
Take a closer look.
The sail on the slight side, under the same logo, is the name of The Hunters Guild.
"Hunter Guild?"
Kuzan is strange.
"Is it an organization of bounty hunters?"
Bounty hunters are an even older profession than pirates, having existed hundreds of years ago.
As long as the money is in place, they do everything.
With the opening of the Great Pirate Era, pirates are becoming more and more rampant.
Specializing in catching pirates.
In exchange for bounties, pirate hunters rose up.
It's just that most of these people work alone; occasionally there are gangs, and most of them cooperate based on bars.
It can be regarded as a group that wanders in the gray area—a mess of scattered sand, and no climate.
Wait for the boat to pass by.
Kuzan squinted.
He saw a black-haired young man standing on the other side's side of the ship.
Short black hair, black pupils, black slim windbreaker, and two swords, one long and one short, on the left waist.
Beside him are crew members wearing the same windbreaker.
The sleeves of the windbreaker have dragon patterns.
Inside is a set of uniforms, mainly in black and white, embellished with gold, giving people a sense of elegance and nobility.
On the back of the windbreaker is the same logo as the flag.
The uniform costumes and clothes make them look completely different from ordinary bounty hunters and pirates.
Organize!
Only a unified organization.
Similar to Marine, World Government, Kingdom Guard, etc., they will require uniform dressing and carry the same concept.
For example, Marine's "Justice."
Even the Revolutionary Army failed to do this.
Over the gunwale, Leno observes the warship.
"It's still a wooden sailing ship."
"On the news, there are reports that Marine is developing an armored ship. I don't know if there will be any results."
Marine is the largest force on the ocean, and its ship technology is definitely ahead of the times.
There are only two options for pirate ships to meet the Marine fleet.
One, escape!
Second, battle on board!
Most of the pirates will only choose the first one. Facing the siege of the fleet, it is the best plan.
Only when you can't escape will you try to work hard.
Before Roger became the King, he was chased away by Garp, Sengoku the Buddha, and all over the world, and he was almost beaten to death by Golden Lion.
At present, in the world, only the fleet of the Four Emperors dares to confront the Marine at sea.
Whether you can win or not is another matter.
This is also the "Buster Call," the deterrent that has it.
A fleet led by ten Vice Admirals is enough to raze an island or even sink it.
The boat Leno is riding on now is incomparably shorter than a warship.
After the two ships crossed and moved away for a while, Leno saw the situation on the deck and intertwined with Kuzan's eyes.
"Kuzan?"
Leno raised his eyebrows. In the newspapers, Kuzan, Sakazuki, and Borsalino were often reported, showing their heroic appearance.
So, he recognized it at a glance.
"Garp is home?"
Leno thought it was a ship from the nearby Marine Base.
Unexpectedly, it was a battleship from Marine Headquarter, Garp.
"Interesting!"
Leno smiled and nodded to Kuzan, indicating that he recognized him.
Leno is not a pirate, so naturally he is not afraid of Marine.
Kuzan froze for a moment and nodded in greeting.
Wait for the boat to dock at the pier in Foosha Village.
Kuzan stood up and asked the assistant: "Hunter Guild? When did East Blue have such an organization?"
"I do not know!"
The assistant was at a loss.
People in this department, who will pay attention to East Blue?
I'm about to give Garp a bald skin, and I can't pick it up.
Seeing that Kuzan was interested, the assistant said smartly: "I'll call and ask the Marine of East Blue."
"No, I'll go take a look."
Kuzan said, with a light leap, he jumped into the sea.
Ice builds up where it lands.
A path made of ice spread toward the Foosha Village, and the chill even froze the swimming fish.
Logia Ice-Ice Fruit!
Kuzan put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly forward.
