Chapter 116: Fated

"Ha, hahahaha."

Garp laughed and walked into the small courtyard where Straw Hat Luffy was.

"Luffy, you always say things that make people misunderstand."

"I'm just here to capture you and take you back to be a Marine this time; just surrender obediently."

Hearing Garp's words, Luffy roared: "I am the man who will become the Pirate King; I don't want to be a Marine!"

"Crackle, crackle."

Garp clenched his fists until they cracked, smiling: "This time, I won't let you have your way."

Ace is already lost; he doesn't want to lose this grandson in front of him again.

Hearing Garp's words, Zoro, Sanji, Urouge, and the others immediately faced a formidable enemy, cold sweat dripping from their faces.

Straw Hat Luffy might not be clear about the title of Marine Hero, but they knew it very well.

Luffy crouched on the ground, ready to activate Gear Second at any time, looking at Garp seriously:

"Jijian, I won't go back with you."

"Pirate King, I am definitely going to be!"

In order to snatch Nami and Robin back from that bastard Lin Yu, Luffy has now developed the abilities of Gear Second and Gear Third.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me!"

Garp's face darkened, and he appeared behind Luffy in an instant.

"Fist of Love!"

Thump~ Thump~ Thump...

Not long after, Garp clapped his hands and walked out, ordering his adjutant:

"Take them all to the ship and shackle them up with Sea-Prism Stone for me..."

Before Garp could finish, he suddenly turned and rushed into the courtyard he had just walked out of.

"Hey!"

"Kuma, where did you send Luffy and the others?"

Looking at the courtyard where Luffy and the others he had knocked down had all vanished without a trace, Garp looked at Bartholomew Kuma in front of him with a gloomy face.

The massive Tyrant Kuma glanced at Garp and vanished on the spot again.

BOOM!

Seeing the vanished Tyrant Kuma, Garp's face turned livid, and he punched the ground.

Why is it that every time he wants to educate Luffy, someone comes along to stir up trouble!

In the past, he wanted to train Luffy to be a Marine and hid him in Windmill Village, but then Shanks ran to Windmill Village and led him astray.

Now, he came to capture him personally, and through a moment of carelessness, he was actually taken advantage of by the Tyrant Kuma.

Why is this happening!!!

Is his grandson Luffy fated to be a pirate!!!

This is simply outrageous!

Sabaody Archipelago.

After the Marine capture operation ended.

In the room where the three Admirals were resting at the Marine branch base where the warships were docked.

Marine Admiral Akainu Sakazuki looked at the adjutant who came to report, and said with a gloomy face:

"So the news of God-Slayer Lin Yu being on Sabaody Archipelago this time was spread on purpose?"

"In other words, God-Slayer Lin Yu is not on Sabaody Archipelago at all?"

The adjutant, seeing the terrifying aura emanating from Akainu, carefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said cautiously:

"Yes, Admiral Akainu."

"According to investigations by the World Government's CP0 organization and the Marines, this news was deliberately spread by Queen, the All-Star of the Beasts Pirates, with the purpose of using us to strike at Katakuri and his party of the BIG MOM Pirates."

"At the same time, no one saw any trace of a flying ship on Sabaody Archipelago today."

"Based on these circumstances, God... the criminal Lin Yu might not have come to Sabaody Archipelago at all."

"What on earth is that CP0 organization doing!" Hearing the adjutant's answer, Akainu was suddenly furious.

He hadn't expected the World Government's CP0 intelligence organization to have such a huge oversight, to be played around by fake news spread on purpose!

Ace's execution is imminent.

If Whitebeard takes this opportunity to attack Marine Headquarters directly, it will pose a huge security risk to the Marines!

Seeing Akainu's expression, Kizaru Borsalino stepped out in time and said:

"Sakazuki, since the criminal Lin Yu is not on Sabaody Archipelago, let's hurry back to Marine Headquarters."

"Ace's execution is imminent; we can't let anything go wrong."

Although Kizaru said this, his true inner thoughts were:

'Hmm, since God-Slayer Lin Yu is not on Sabaody Archipelago, let's hurry back; don't get involved in this muddy water.'

'This involves the Celestial Dragons; this is very troublesome!'

'Compared to this, I'd rather face that old geezer Whitebeard.'

Hearing Kizaru's words, Aokiji Kuzan also spoke up:

"Well, this trip can be considered quite a harvest; we caught a lot of pirates."

"Just treat it as a vacation."

Because the three Admirals were dispatched at the same time this time, they caught many big pirates, which could be considered a decent harvest.

And this time, it was the World Government's CP0 organization's intelligence that went wrong, so the responsibility didn't lie with the Marines.

"Hmph!"

"I'm going back now!"

Akainu snorted coldly, left the room, and headed straight for his own warship.

Kizaru looked at the departing Akainu and also got up and headed toward his own warship.

Seeing the fatty eating a steamed bun at the base, Kizaru said:

"Sentomaru, let's go. Bring your uncle a couple of steamed buns while you're at it."

"Got it, Uncle."

Sentomaru stuffed the bun into his mouth in two bites, grabbed a few more cages of buns, and ran toward Kizaru's warship with his axe on his shoulder.

Aokiji looked at the departing Akainu and Kizaru and pulled his eye mask back over his eyes.

He planned to take a nap before returning to Marine Headquarters.

To him, Marine work only occupied a small part of his life.

Waters near Sabaody Archipelago.

Following Ulti's guidance, Lin Yu, who had arrived at the target waters, looked at the empty sea before him and sighed slightly.

His Slave of God had been delayed for a while by Akainu, so by the time he arrived at the waters Ulti and Page One mentioned, he naturally could no longer see the pirate ship where Queen and the others were.

"Akainu just came from this direction; Queen and the others might have already been scared away."

Robin stood beside Lin Yu and stated her speculation.

Akainu's behavior of taking a large detour before heading toward Sabaody Archipelago really caught Lin Yu and Robin off guard.

This also made Robin slightly alert, knowing that things in the world could not really proceed as she had envisioned.

Next time she encounters such a situation, she must calculate the opponent's reaction and make a response plan.

"Perhaps that's really the case."

Hearing Robin's statement, Lin Yu nodded in agreement; he had just thought the same thing.

With Akainu's warship heading toward Sabaody Archipelago from this direction, it was impossible for Queen and the others not to evade and just wait for him to come.

Moreover, according to what Ulti and Page One said earlier.

The Beasts Pirates are a place where the weak are prey to the strong, respecting power, and they don't care about their companions at all.

Queen and the others would never take risks just to wait for the two siblings; they might have already run away before Akainu's warship arrived.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu looked at Robin and said:

"If we can't find Queen and the others, so be it. Let's go and rendezvous with Reiju and the others first."
