Chapter 211: Welcome, Saint Saint Saint Saiwen

Sabaody Archipelago, Island 60.

Marine Headquarters.

With Saint Saint Saint Saiwen about to arrive at Marine Headquarters, the entire Sabaody Archipelago has entered a state of martial law.

CP0 agents in white suits and Marine soldiers guard the island fortress to the death, even though they know no one is foolish enough to attack Saint Saint Saint Saiwen.

But this is their duty.

How to handle the relationship with Saint Saint Saint Saiwen is a headache for the big shots; they are merely small fry.

Even the World Government has accepted Saint Saint Saint Saiwen; what can they, these irrelevant small fry, do even if they oppose it?

Defect from the Marines?

Then they will be the first to die.

Even Saint Saint Saint Saiwen has Cast Toward the World; once they defect from the Marines, the World Government will absolutely eliminate them, these rebels, first.

Actually, there is a solution.

For example, defect from the Marines and join the Revolutionary Army.

I heard several Marine Admirals have already done so; Admiral Zephyr is even planning to create a New Marine.

When the Donghai Dihuang, with its red sail and flame flag, slowly sailed into the port of Sabaody Archipelago Island 60,

the Marine high command, led by Fleet Admiral Sengoku, had already lined up at the port to wait.

Seeing Curly Dadan behind Saint Saint Saiwen, Sengoku's heart was instantly filled with both sorrow and joy.

Sorrowful that Curly Dadan could never return to the Marines, yet overjoyed that his beloved son's bounty was about to be cancelled.

Although he can't be a Marine, being a noble of a World Government member nation also seems... quite nice?

Moreover, seeing that Saint Saint Saiwen brought Curly Dadan with him, it's not hard to see that Curly Dadan is doing well in the Morning Star Group; at least he is trusted.

In that case,

neither the Marines nor the pirates will be able to threaten Curly Dadan's safety in the future.

Noticing Sengoku's gaze was dazed, Admiral Tsuru could only cough lightly, reminding Sengoku not to expose Curly Dadan's undercover identity because of this.

Sengoku stepped forward.

"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, welcome to Marine Headquarters."

Having actually spoken these words, Sengoku suddenly found it wasn't as hard to say as he thought.

Even the World Government and the Five Elders have approved it; what can a mere Fleet Admiral do?

And dare to do what?

"Long time no see, Fleet Admiral Sengoku." Saint Saint Saiwen did not humiliate the Marines again.

Going from Emperor of the Sea to a Celestial Dragon and coming to Marine Headquarters to cancel the Morning Star Group's bounty is the greatest humiliation for the Marines.

If he went too far, it would easily make the Marines unite against a common enemy, which does not align with the interests and demands of Saint Saint Saiwen and the Morning Star Group.

The current intensity is just right.

Sengoku turned to the side and gestured with his hand.

"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, this way please."

Specifically waiting for Curly Dadan to pass by, Sengoku forcibly suppressed the urge to keep his beloved son behind, silently took two small steps, and ran after him to lead the way.

Garp remained at the port to prevent any extreme behavior from the Headquarters officers and Marine soldiers.

Mainly to prevent Zephyr from going berserk.

Looking at Zephyr, whose chest heaved violently and whose asthma had flared up from anger, Garp said quietly.

"Why do you insist on this?"

Clearly hating that brat Saint Saint Saiwen so much, yet Zephyr insisted on bringing the Headquarters training camp students over, calling it "remembering this humiliating experience."

"If you can come, why can't I?"

Zephyr is now like an overexcited honey badger, confronting anyone he meets without showing any mercy.

"Garp..."

Zephyr was about to spit two more insults at Garp.

But considering Garp's title as Marine Hero and the acts of justice he has carried out in the Marines over the years, he could only abandon the idea and turn his spear against Sengoku.

"Since Sengoku became Fleet Admiral... he has changed."

"He is no longer the Marine Strategist who dared to strike at evil pirates."

Having said this, Zephyr changed the subject.

"Garp, let's go create a New Marine."

"With you and me, there is definitely potential."

With Garp's prestige in the Marines, a single raised arm would quickly gather countless Marines.

And he, Zephyr, has taught many officer students during his many years in the Marines.

The two cooperating is a union of the strong.

"Bogart, you stay here and watch."

After instructing his adjutant, Garp put his arm around Zephyr's shoulder and walked towards the Headquarters cafeteria, just like when they first joined the Marines forty years ago.

"Let's go; it's been a long time since we drank together."

Garp decided to persuade his old partner properly.

Previously, the Marines gathered all their top combat power, short of calling back the former Fleet Admiral, yet they were still beaten by that brat Saint Saint Saiwen to near total annihilation.

Even the peak Marines could do nothing about Saint Saint Saiwen.

Creating a New Marine now, besides bearing the name of rebellion, what else can be done?

Not only can nothing be done, but the World Government will also order Sengoku to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.

This act of splitting the Navy is no different from pushing the Navy into an abyss of irreversible ruin.

From now on, just complain to yourself—don't discuss the New Navy again in front of so many Navy officers.

Almost simultaneously, in the Headquarters conference room.

Saint Saint Saiwen sat in the main seat, legs crossed; to his left were the Navy's senior representatives led by Sengoku, Crane, and Yellow Peril; to his right were Baret, Xiliu, and others.

Since arriving at Navy Headquarters, Baret had been smiling as he stared fixedly at Sengoku.

Not only had the resentment from being arrested by the Navy under the Divine Punishment Order and imprisoned in Impel Down vanished, but his inner delight surged straight to the crown of his head.

Bai Mao becoming a Celestial Dragon made Baret realize: pirates could really be this way.

Those remnants of the old era on the seas truly couldn't keep up with the times.

Saint Saint Saiwen didn't waste words.

"Given that Wano has joined the World Government and become a brother force alongside the Navy."

"In the spirit of peaceful coexistence and mutual cooperation, I believe the bounties of the Morning Star Group are no longer necessary."

"What do you think, Admiral Sengoku?"

Sengoku couldn't help muttering inwardly: What do I care what you think! I say something and you never listen.

If he could choose, Sengoku would have killed Saint Saint Saiwen and hung his corpse outside his office door.

Spit once when arriving at work.

Spit again when leaving work.

But times have changed; Sengoku had no choice but to obey the Five Elders' orders.

"Your words, Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, are profound."

"The Navy is very willing to cooperate with Wano, including trade in Seastone products and joint operations against the great pirates ravaging the New World."

"The Navy fully obeys Saint Saint Saint Saiwen's command."

Rossy lowered his head, unable to bear looking at his father's groveling; the captain's cruel whims truly cause great harm.

"That's good enough." Saint Saint Saiwen turned to Spandam, the official specially dispatched by the World Government.

"I speak. You write."

"Yes, Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, my lord."

Spandam, following Saint Saint Saiwen's instructions, gradually canceled bounties on the pre-prepared list, until he noticed one name still unmentioned.

"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, my lord."

"Should the bounty on Golden Lion be canceled?"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku's heart lurched: What is Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen up to?

Why deliberately leave Golden Lion's bounty untouched?

Is this preferential treatment… or is he planning to use Golden Lion as Wano's black glove among pirates?

"No need to cancel Golden Lion's bounty."

Saint Saint Saiwen showed a look of regret: "The old man refused to become a noble of the allied nation—he insists on remaining a pirate."

"By the way." Saint Saint Saiwen sat up straight.

"Also, the bounties on all former members of the Luo Jie Crew—hope the Navy won't break its word again."

The condition under which Captain Luo Jie surrendered to the Navy was that the Navy and World Government would no longer target the other members of the Luo Jie Pirate Crew.

But the World Government's credibility—everyone knows how much that's worth.

Saint Saint Saiwen himself was one of the victims.
