“17th Division?” Garp murmured slowly.
Then he looked at Sengoku in confusion, feeling that the man was making far too much of the situation.
“Sengoku, isn’t something like this perfectly normal?
There’s no need to talk about it with such a serious expression, is there?” “Besides, the reason we Marines monitor them is mainly to make sure those guys don’t join forces and start causing trouble.” Garp was not wrong.
Among the Four Emperors, forming a new division, taking in a new pirate crew, or allowing another pirate crew to become an affiliated force…
Things like that happened far too often.
As for the “guys” Garp referred to, he was naturally talking about the Four Emperors of the New World.
Sengoku, however, did not agree.
He reached out, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip while thinking.
After a short while, he finally explained, “What you said makes sense, but not entirely.” “Besides monitoring the movements of the Four Emperors, there are naturally other things the Marines need to pay attention to.” “According to the intelligence I received, this newly established 17th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates encountered Jack, one of the Beasts Pirates’ Three Calamities, not long ago.” Before Sengoku could finish, Garp interrupted him.
“What happened?
Don’t tell me Whitebeard’s 17th Division got wiped out by that brat Jack right after it was established?” “If that really happened, Whitebeard would lose a lot of face…
Bwahahahaha!” Halfway through laughing, something suddenly occurred to Garp.
“Hm?” “I think I know why you’re being so serious.” “You’re worried Whitebeard might use this as an excuse to start a war?” “You’re afraid things could develop in a way that’s unfavorable to the Marines?” Hearing Garp’s words, Sengoku sighed softly.
“You’ve got it backward.” “The newly established 17th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates only has two people.” “But those two destroyed one of Jack’s elite ships and even sent Jack himself into the sea.” “What?!” Garp was visibly shocked by Sengoku’s words.
“What kind of people are in Whitebeard’s 17th Division?” Garp asked again.
Sengoku shook his head slightly.
“I’m not entirely sure.” “According to the person who reported the incident, Whitebeard’s 17th Division is led by a newcomer with no bounty.” “The sole member under him is the same.” “A newcomer.” “And also someone with no bounty.” This time, Garp’s expression finally became somewhat serious.
He gave Ren Mori and the others a very high assessment.
“If that’s really the case, then newcomers from a newly established division being able to defeat one of Kaido’s major subordinates really is impressive.” “But now that you’ve told me this…” “I’m starting to want to test them out personally.” “Bwahahahahaha!” Hearing that, Sengoku stared at Garp with a deadpan expression.
This guy really never knew how to behave seriously.
He had been like this when he was young.
And even now that he was old, nothing had changed.
“Forget it.” “I shouldn’t have brought up something this serious with a shameless old bastard like you.” Sengoku complained.
“Sengoku, this old man is being completely serious.” Garp answered with an unusually earnest expression.
“I only hope those old monsters in the New World can behave themselves.” “And that they don’t start doing the same kinds of things they did when they were young.” Sengoku spoke in a low voice.
He knew very well that if one of the Four Emperors’ forces went to war with another, it might appear advantageous to the Marines on the surface.
But in reality— the disaster such a war could bring to the Marines would be enormous as well.

Ever since awakening the System, he had obtained a Toughened Body and an incredible ability like Wood Release in an extremely short period of time.
“So…” “This is what having a cheat feels like.” Ren Mori stared up at the blue sky, enjoying the warmth of the sunlight.
“Next…” “It’s time for the second member of my 17th Division to appear.” Ren Mori suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Then he quickly issued another command to the System.
