The four children before him were all Seraphim.
This was somewhat beyond Garp’s expectations.
He truly hadn’t expected this project to be completed so quickly.
Logically speaking, it should only have been finished two years later.
No matter how powerful Vegapunk’s Brain-Brain Fruit was, this plan clearly should not be fully developed yet.
Were these incomplete versions?
And they were this confident?
Sending a few unfinished products to subjugate him…
They really weren’t taking him seriously.
Before Garp could speak, the CP0 agent who had just arrived said coldly,
“Hero Garp, it is not too late to surrender.”
“Even if it is you…
facing Admiral Kizaru, myself, and four Seraphim at the same time, survival is impossible.”
“This is your final chance to redeem yourself.”
“Those who betray the World Government…
die.”
His cold voice carried killing intent.
This was the attitude and will of the World Government.
Having ruled the world for eight hundred years, they would never allow any force to resist them.
Every budding threat had to be strangled in the cradle.
They understood Garp’s influence deeply.
If he was truly allowed to do something, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After all, his son, Monkey D.
Dragon, was the World Government’s most wanted criminal—
The man known as the Worst Criminal.
The leader of the Revolutionary Army.
If father and son joined forces, there would undoubtedly be risk.
Whoosh!
“CP0, you’re far too arrogant.”
“You’re nothing but the World Government’s hounds, yet you dare speak to Mr.
Garp like that!”
“Since you’ve come, none of you need to leave!”
Bogard instantly appeared beside Garp.
He would not allow anyone to tarnish Garp’s honor.
As Garp’s devoted admirer, protecting his back was Bogard’s highest dream, honor, and dignity.
He drew his sword.
Like a fierce tiger, he stared at the CP0 agent in the distance.
It was as if he would slash forward the moment Garp gave the order.
“Bogard!”
The moment the CP0 agent saw Bogard, the face beneath his mask frowned slightly.
This man, known as the Marines’ strongest swordsman, could not be underestimated.
After all, Garp’s previous adjutant had been Admiral Aokiji.
That alone hinted at Bogard’s value.
His combat power was unquestionably genuine.
But CP0 was still unafraid.
The Seraphim behind him gave him boundless confidence.
Forget one Bogard.
At most, the battle would become a little more difficult.
But then, a voice rang out from not far away.
It instantly made cold sweat run down his back.
“This little island is quite lively today.”
“So many important figures have gathered here.”
“Did something major happen?”
In the distance, a lean old man walked over lazily, swaying slightly with a wine flask in hand.
His gaze swept over everyone present.
Although his face looked sharp, his eyes carried a hint of kindness.
Especially when he saw Luffy, a faint smile appeared.
“Rayleigh!”
The moment Luffy saw Rayleigh, his expression brightened.
So even another familiar face had arrived at this battle.
Now things should be easier for Grandpa.
There had been so many enemies just now that Luffy had been worried.
With one more helper, things would be much better.
Back at the auction house, Luffy had already felt that Rayleigh was incredibly strong.
He would definitely be able to help.
“Yo, Luffy.”
Rayleigh nodded slightly at Luffy, then continued forward.
Only when he reached a spot not far from Garp did he slowly stop.
“Dark King Silvers Rayleigh!”
In the distance, the hidden pirates, as well as the more arrogant Supernovas standing closer to the scene, all turned serious.
Their eyes narrowed as they stared at Rayleigh, who had just arrived.
Their emotions surged violently.
The situation was changing far too quickly.
At first, when they saw Garp gaining an overwhelming advantage, they had already been stunned.
They hadn’t expected him to be that powerful.
Before they could even recover from that shock, CP0 arrived.
And they had brought four strange “humans” with them.
Those children were obviously secret weapons.
After all, they looked exactly like younger versions of several Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Their eyes contained no emotion.
They looked no different from machines.
And from a single glance, one could feel boundless pressure from them.
They were strong.
Very strong.
When the Seraphim arrived, the onlookers could no longer remain calm.
They truly hadn’t expected the Marines to possess such a hidden hand.
Clearly, these weapons were meant for something big.
If Garp’s appearance had not caused such a major change, the World Government would probably have kept them hidden until a future day when they stunned the world.
And just as everyone was still reeling from that—
Another legendary figure appeared.
Dark King Rayleigh.
His reputation did not only come from his strength.
He was also a legend.
After all, as a member of the Pirate King’s crew, he was one of the few people in the world who knew the truth of the world.
He was also someone who knew the way to the final island— Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Laugh Tale.
Countless halos of glory surrounded him.
Amid everyone’s shock, Rayleigh walked up beside Garp and said,
“Garp, it’s been a long time.”
“More than ten years, hasn’t it?”
He sounded somewhat nostalgic.
Back then, he had spent his days being chased all over the sea by Garp.
In that era, across the entire ocean, only Garp could truly restrain them.
Even before they reached the final island, the two sides were still fighting fiercely.
Originally, Rayleigh had planned to come and save Luffy.
But when he saw Garp here, he instantly understood.
As expected, a grandson was still more important.
“Let’s skip the reminiscing.”
“This tense atmosphere doesn’t exactly suit catching up.”
“With those old bones of yours, can you still fight?”
“If not, stand farther away.”
“Today, I’ll protect all of you.”
Garp glanced at Rayleigh behind him.
A rare smile appeared on his lips.
This old man had indeed rushed over.
But the situation was now completely different from the original course.
Because his resignation from the Marines had triggered a butterfly effect, the Seraphim, who should not have appeared here, had directly arrived.
At the same time, Garp was quite curious about these secret weapons of the World Government.
But only curious.
Nothing more.
“Of course.”
“You left the Marines because of Fire Fist Ace?”
“I knew you had courage, but I truly didn’t expect this.”
“Impressive.”
As for the news of Garp leaving the Marines, Sabaody’s information had been somewhat delayed.
After all, battles had been raging all day.
Even if some people knew, most of the strong figures present were still in the dark.
Rayleigh had only learned about it by chance.
That enormous newspaper had carried no other news.
Just one headline.
Marine Hero Garp had left the Marine camp.
When Rayleigh learned of it, he had been completely stunned.
He knew Garp’s convictions.
And yet…
He had never expected him to do something like this.
If there was one possible reason, it could only be for his eldest grandson—
Fire Fist Ace.
The source regarding Ace’s coming execution was extremely reliable.
After all, Shakky was an intelligence broker.
“That’s right.”
“For Ace.”
“For my grandson.”
“But him!”
