In the morning.
The scorching sun shines on the headquarters’ departure port.
Three warships are anchored there, looking majestic.
The one in the middle is a warship of major general standard, with 400 soldiers standing in full battle array, all standing tall and ready to set sail at any time.
There is a small and medium-sized warship of colonel level on each side, and more than 100 marines are arranged on each.
The three warships belong to Ian, T. Pengen, and Peacock respectively.
After Ian chose to carry out the mission of the Sabaody Archipelago.
The headquarters’ vigorous and resolute work style was once again fully demonstrated.
He was only given an hour to prepare!
At the port, except for Ian, the others have boarded the ship.
Although Peacock and T. Pengen have their own ships.
But according to Ian’s instructions, he still stayed on his ship, waiting for the internal meeting after sailing.
Peacock stood in front of the fence, looking at Ian below, and praised in a gentle voice:
"What a great man!"
"The Commodore is sailing, and the hero of the headquarters, Garp, and Admiral Aokiji, came to see him off in person."
"This kind of treatment is really rare!"
T. Pengen’s face was stern, and he echoed:
"After all, he is the beloved disciple of Vice Admiral Garp, so the treatment is naturally different."
Skylark stood beside Peacock, carefully poked his head out, and looked at Ian’s figure from a distance.
Before leaving.
Garp was still worried.
From his embarrassed expression, you can see how uneasy he is.
"Old man, what happened today?"
"Not like you at all, where’s the devilish look during training?"
Ian teased Garp lightly.
Isn’t it just going to the Sabaody Archipelago? It seemed as if he had made a wrong decision.
Kuzan pulled the eye patch on his head and said:
"Grandpa Garp, if you don’t want Ian to go to the Sabaody Archipelago, you should have told the marshal earlier."
"Why do you have to make a multiple-choice question and let him choose it himself?"
"You should know that with this kid’s personality, he will most likely choose a more difficult mission."
"You are so blunt, it’s not like you at all."
Kuzan’s words confirmed Ian’s guess.
The marshal of the headquarters personally assigned the task, so there is still room for choice?
The reason why there are options is probably because Garp is maneuvering.
"Tsk, kid, can’t you choose a mission with lower difficulty?"
"You just established a formation, and you haven’t participated in any headquarters’ collective military mission."
"What is the Sabaody Archipelago? You don’t understand it at all!"
Garp’s forehead wrinkles piled up, and he said tangledly.
"I understand, Mr. Garp, after all, I have been a navy for so many years."
"The Sabaody Archipelago is… the territory of the Celestial Dragons!"
"BecauseDue to the unique geographical location, there are new pirates going to the New World, and there are guys who travel back from the New World. "
"There are 79 numbered areas, and nearly 30 areas are lawless areas."
"Because the Celestial Dragons and the World Government intend to "relax policies", the Navy’s law enforcement on the island is much more difficult than expected."
"It feels like… Mr. Garp puts seastone handcuffs on me, and my hands and feet are tied!"
Ian’s words shocked Garp and Kuzan.
I thought Ian didn’t consider any situation, but just chose a high-difficulty environment willfully.
Now it seems that Garp thought he was simple.
"Smelly boy, you have done a lot of homework, I thought you were just messing around. ”
“Since you know so much and insist on making a choice, I will only advise you one thing…”
“When the Celestial Dragons appear, no matter what happens or what you see, don’t meddle in other people’s business!”
“As long as it doesn’t have anything to do with the Celestial Dragons, you can get into any other trouble!”
Garp grabbed Ian’s shoulders, his tone extremely serious.
Ian dared to attack the Seven Warlords before he took office at the headquarters.
After arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago, with his personality, it would not be surprising if he didn’t like the Celestial Dragons.
“Don’t worry, how could I mess with the descendants of the Creators?”
“There is another problem, Mr. Garp… What if I couldn’t help it…”
“What should I do if there is a little conflict with the Celestial Dragons? "
Ian’s eyes revealed cunning, and he watched Garp’s expression change playfully.
"Swish…"
"Swish…"
Garp threw three consecutive punches, aiming at Ian’s head.
Ian was prepared and dodged nimbly.
"Asshole, how could I teach you such a traitor!"
"What if there is trouble with those trash, cough cough… and the Celestial Dragons?"
"Contact me immediately! You must contact me immediately!"
"Do you understand? Remember it!"
Garp urged again in a stern voice.
"I understand. It’s enough for me to have the teacher’s words. ”
This is the answer Ian wanted to hear.
Sure enough, Vice Admiral Garp treated his apprentice and grandson in completely different ways.
…
At the same time.
New World, Dressrosa Kingdom.
In the luxurious hall of the royal castle.
All the members of the Don Quixote family gathered together.
On the throne at the head, a man in a pink feather coat stared at the Den Den Mushi in front of the table with a wicked smile on his face.
Don Quixote Doflamingo!
One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the current King of Dressrosa!
The Den Den Mushi imitated the expression of the communicator and was furious:
"Joker! You bastard!"
"Do you want the demon to become a mace to help you get rid of the aliens? "
"Do you know who you are cooperating with?"
"Are you qualified to make conditions to me? Incompetent lackey of the World Government!"
"Before I get completely angry, you’d better get ready for the transaction. Be careful, I will kill you first!"
In the hall, the cadres of the Don Quixote family were silent, and their expressions were very ugly.
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely die if he dared to talk to Doflamingo like this.
But Doflamingo didn’t dare to easily anger the person on the other side of the Den Den Mushi.
That was one of the Four Emperors of the New World, the governor of the Beast Pirates, and the King of Beasts, Kaido!
"Mr. Kaido, listen to me first."
"The appearance of Jock Ian disrupted our overall plan. ”
“A batch of raw materials used to produce ‘Smile (animal-type artificial devil fruit)’ was completely seized by the navy.”
“Although the matter was at the World Government, I have already found a reason to explain it away.”
“But right now, Jock Ian has been sent to the Sabaody Archipelago for stationing, and it is difficult for our people to find materials in the first half!”
“The World Government has warned me, in such a difficult situation.”
“My family members can’t do anything to Ian…”
“Hey, for the sake of our cooperation, shouldn’t Governor Kaido do something?”
“I can reduce the price a little bit. ”
Doflamingo was scolded, but he was not angry. Instead, his smile became more wanton and ferocious.
The child rescued by Ian had nothing to do with the production of artificial devil fruits.
But let Doflamingo swallow this bitter breath, don’t even think about it!
Since it is inconvenient for his own people to take action, the best and most optimal solution is to trick the partners.
