“Search this island for me.” Sengoku looked over the entire island, his face suddenly furrowing.
He turned toward the old friend beside him.
“Garp, what do you think that brat Nico Sylvan meant by a ‘gift’?” “Who knows?” Garp grinned casually and shook his head.
Using his brain was not exactly his strong suit.
“You bastard…” Sengoku was caught between laughter and tears.
Being a Vice Admiral really was better.
He still had authority, and although it was not as much as an Admiral’s, it was far more relaxed.
“What exactly is the relationship between that brat Nico Sylvan and Kaido of the Beasts?” Sengoku lowered his head in thought, completely unable to understand it.
That twelve-year-old brat could actually command the Beast Pirates.
It was truly a miracle among miracles.
To avoid being tricked, Sengoku had brought a large number of Marine experts with him.
Garp, as well as the future Three Admirals Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru, had all come.
Even if they ended up in an all-out war against the Beast Pirates, they would not be afraid.
“Admiral Sengoku, we found a group of pirates on the island.
They are all members of the Whitebeard Pirates, including the Second Division commander Marco, Diamond Jozu, and others.
They were all tied up, and every one of them is injured.” After a while, a soldier came rushing over to report.
“This is the big gift that brat prepared for us?” These words made the higher-ups of the Marines feel shocked and uncertain.
They looked at one another.
Marco and Diamond Jozu were both Whitebeard’s diehard supporters.
“Oh my, how strange.
That brat should hate our Marines very much, right?
We destroyed Ohara and caused his family to flee for their lives, so what does he mean by handing these people over to us Marines?” Borsalino rubbed his chin, his tone eccentric.
Although he was currently still a Vice Admiral, his expression already looked extremely sleazy.
“So this is the big gift that brat mentioned?
What bullshit gift?
This is clearly a pit he dug for the Marines to jump into, and it’s the kind we have no choice but to jump into.” A vicious light flashed through Sengoku’s eyes as he explained to everyone, “If we capture Marco and Diamond Jozu, think about it.
Will that old bastard Whitebeard let the Marines off?
He’ll definitely block us at Marineford’s harbor and fight!” “That’s right…” Garp also nodded, his tone carrying a trace of surprise.
“That brat is only twelve years old, right?
To think he could come up with such a vicious plan.
In the future, he’ll probably become a troublesome figure like Roger… This move of shifting hatred is truly impressive.
Although we don’t know what happened between the Beast Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, since Marco was captured alive, that means a serious conflict broke out.
Nico Sylvan handed Marco over to us because he wants Whitebeard to turn his target toward the Marines instead.
This move is beautifully played.” There was a hint of admiration in Garp’s words.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the Marines, but Sylvan had used one move to shift the disaster eastward by handing Marco over to the Marines.
The Marines could not exactly refuse him, could they?
After all, Marco was a heinous pirate, and capturing pirates was the Marines’ duty.
But by doing this, Sylvan had also tricked the Marines.
Everyone knew Whitebeard’s temper.
He would inevitably go to war with the Marines.
“Garp, you bastard, you’re actually praising that kid?” Sengoku was extremely depressed.
What kind of mess was this?
He clearly knew it was a huge pit, an especially huge pit at that, yet the Marines still had to jump into it.
In the end, Sengoku could only helplessly order, “Go capture Marco and the others.” Without a doubt, once the Marines captured Marco, Diamond Jozu, and the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates, both sides would inevitably go to war.
“Pops, something seems wrong.
That guy Jack the Drought isn’t returning to Kaido’s territory.
It looks like he’s going somewhere else.” The Whitebeard Pirates, who had secretly been following Jack the Drought, quickly discovered something strange.
“What exactly is Nico Sylvan trying to do?” Whitebeard also furrowed his brows tightly.
His heart felt inexplicably irritated.
Being led by the nose by a twelve-year-old child was truly tragic.
Buru buru… The transponder snail at Whitebeard’s waist suddenly rang.
It was the one previously used to contact Sylvan.
“Yo, Whitebeard.
Let me guess what you’re doing.
You’re following that guy Jack, right?” Sylvan’s frivolous voice came from the other side of the call.
“Nonsense.
My money isn’t something just anyone can take.” Whitebeard did not deny it.
He hated this little brat to the extreme.
“Heh heh heh… I expected that too.” Sylvan laughed faintly through the transponder snail, then “kindly” reminded him, “I forgot to tell you earlier.
Our boss was captured alive, and although I have confidence in that guy’s strength, just to be safe, I still plan to go to Whole Cake Island and take a look.
As for those sons of yours, I left them at our original base.” “You think I’ll believe you?” Whitebeard snorted coldly.
Most pirates were untrustworthy.
“Then keep following him.
Anyway, before I left, I conveniently called Sengoku at Marine Headquarters and told him.
Heh heh…” After saying that, Sylvan laughed slyly and sinisterly.
“Damn it, you brat who deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces!” Whitebeard nearly crushed his teeth.
World-destroying Conqueror’s Haki shot straight into the sky, tearing apart the blue heavens.
A bottomless black crack stretched far into the distance.
“You want to incite me into going to war with the Marines?” Whitebeard’s face was ashen.
He had guarded against everything, but in the end, he had still been tricked by this little bastard.
“I don’t mean that at all.
Don’t slander a good person.” Sylvan shook his head slightly and said playfully, “If Sengoku captures your sons, you can actually choose to ignore it completely.
It’s not like they’re your biological children anyway… Oh, right.
If I were you, I would immediately give up chasing Jack.
Sengoku’s group might have only just arrived at my original territory.
If you turn back now, maybe you can still snatch them back.
If you keep dragging it out, heh heh… In any case, good luck.” After saying that, Sylvan hung up the transponder snail and ordered the entire Beast Pirates to head toward Big Mom’s headquarters, Whole Cake Island.
