Chapter 198: Garp Makes Up His Mind

"Alright, that's it."

"Do not let anyone else know about this matter."

Sengoku waved his hand at Brannew, signaling him to leave.

"Yes." Brannew bowed and turned to walk away.

"Is the New Era really coming..."

Standing in the corridor, Sengoku looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky and frowned slightly.

The powerful rise of the newcomer Lin Yu, and the death of the veteran pirate Gecko Moria.

Made Sengoku feel that he and other old bones in their seventies and eighties would probably really be unable to keep up with the times.

Turning to walk into the Fleet Admiral's office, Sengoku looked at Garp, who was still snoring loudly, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Regarding Garp's purpose for coming to find him, Sengoku naturally knew clearly.

With Ace's execution imminent, Garp, who raised him, naturally felt very distressed and conflicted inside.

This time coming to find him, it was mostly to open his mouth to beg for mercy, yet he could not open his mouth, so he could only entangle him by competing to eat senbei.

If Ace really followed Garp's arrangement, joined the Navy, or did other things quietly.

Even if the other party was the son of the Pirate King Luo Jie, then Sengoku, seeing comrade Garp's face, would close one eye and open the other, let him go unmanaged, and even cover for him.

However, the other party was dead set on becoming a pirate, and even one of the Four Emperors, Bai Huzi, was preparing to push him onto the position of Pirate King.

In this case, then do not blame Sengoku for not giving face and striking down with a killing blow!

Many years ago, that loud roar of Luo Jie made many people run into the sea with the identity of pirates, burning, killing, robbing, and committing every evil.

And the Navy, in order to capture those pirates who did evil under the banner of dreams, did not know how many soldiers sacrificed.

If merely because Ace is Garp's grandson, they let him off lightly, then what face would he and Garp have to face those comrades and soldiers who had already sacrificed themselves!

It was precisely because of this that Garp was extremely conflicted and could never open his mouth.

Because the justice he wore on his back simply did not allow him to do such a thing.

Pop!

Garp's snot bubble burst, waking him from his sleep.

"Garp, you actually slept for so long, I have only slept for a few minutes!" Seeing Garp wake up, Sengoku immediately raised an angry face and roared at him.

After speaking, he ran to Garp's side and punched him on the head.

Letting Ace go was already an impossible thing; the only thing Sengoku could do was accompany Garp in his nonsense and distract his attention.

Garp touched the big bump on his head and sighed.

"Sengoku, I just dreamed of Ace and Luffy when they were little."

"I dreamed Ace burned my beard, I caught him and beat him up, Luffy prepared to help him, and I also beat him up, hahaha..."

Speaking to this point, Garp laughed loudly.

Afterwards, he said desolately:

"If only they didn't want to become pirates, the Navy can also go find that so-called Great Treasure, right..."

After speaking, Garp slumped onto the sofa, his eyes empty.

At this moment, he was not a Vice Admiral, nor a Navy Hero, but just an old man in pain because his grandson had taken a wrong path.

Seeing Garp like this, Sengoku also sat beside him and said:

"Gecko Moria is dead, killed by that Lin Yu."

"Moria is dead?" Garp looked at Sengoku in shock.

Moria was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a famous great pirate on the Grand Line; was he killed by Lin Yu?

Seeing Garp's attention successfully diverted by himself, Sengoku walked to the tea table and said while making tea:

"According to the news Sister Tina sent back."

"That bastard Lin Yu, although he dislikes the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, is even more disgusted by pirates; as long as he encounters a pirate, he basically kills them all clean on the spot."

"Your little grandson encountering him, I estimate would only have the outcome of death."

Speaking to this point, Sengoku leisurely took a sip of tea.

His meaning was very clear, that was to advise Garp.

Do not put your mind on this adopted grandson in front of you anymore; hurry up and catch your biological grandson back.

Otherwise, once your biological grandson is caught by Lin Yu.

Then on the very day of being caught, your biological grandson would basically be killed by Lin Yu!

Garp snatched the tea cup from Sengoku's hand and said in shock:

"Is that Lin Yu so cruel?"

With this conduct, if Lin Yu had not killed the Celestial Dragons, Garp almost thought he was Akainu Sakazuki's disciple.

'Seeing you are sad, I will not count this against you.'

The tea cup was snatched away; Sengoku suppressed his anger, poured himself another cup, looked at Garp and said: "Do you remember Buggy the Clown?"

Garp raised an eyebrow, "That intern on Luo Jie's pirate ship? A contemporary of the Four Emperor Red Hair?"

"He has already been killed by Lin Yu." Sengoku took a sip of tea and said casually.

For such a pirate, Sengoku naturally hoped the more dead the better.

Hearing this, Garp frowned.

With Lin Yu's current strength and cruelty, if Luffy encountered him, it would probably really be more bad than good.

Afterwards, Sengoku looked at Garp and continued to say: "I heard your little grandson is on some Sky Island, preparing to go to Sabaody Archipelago; if this continues, sooner or later he will encounter Lin Yu."

"So you had better hurry up."

"Sigh, I understand." Garp sighed and stood up.

He knew that Sengoku had deliberately told him this to get him out of the way, and in truth, he did not want to hear news of Luffy's death.

He had already lost one; he did not want to lose another.

"Sengoku, I shall challenge you again another day; for now, I will let you go."

"Hahahaha."

Garp, having resolved to capture Luffy, laughed heartily and walked out the door.

"Tch!"

Sengoku muttered in displeasure, then his round belly shrank rapidly, allowing him to exhale a long sigh of relief.

As the Fleet Admiral, techniques like Life Return were naturally something he had mastered long ago.

Stepping onto the balcony corridor outside the Fleet Admiral's office, Sengoku watched Garp boarding the ship and spoke to himself:

"Straw Hat Luffy, you had better hold on a little longer; do not let Garp return to interfere with me."

A few days later.

Thriller Bark.
