Shin set sail smoothly on the Kuja Pirates’ ship.
The current ship of the Kuja Pirates was newly built. The old ship could at most sail in the first half of the Grand Line. If it went to the New World, it wouldn’t be able to withstand the harsh climate of it.
So, Elder Nyon had rebuilt the ship, because she knew Shin would go to the New World.
In fact, even if Shin didn’t want to enter the New World, Elder Nyon would have encouraged him to do so.
————
Two Giant Yuda were currently pulling the pirate ship forward.
These two Yuda were Sea Kings—and also the Kuja Pirates’ reliance for entering and exiting the Calm Belt.
“By the way, not many people know I’m the Captain of the Kuja Pirates, right?” Shin couldn’t help but say.
“No, you’re wrong about that. It has already spread throughout the world.” Olvia said to Shin.
“Hmm??”
Shin was a little surprised, then came back to his senses in a moment.
“It must be Elder Nyon who spread the news…”
“Yes. Elder Nyon spread this news four years ago,” Hancock said to Shin.
And it was precisely because of this that Amazon Lily had become more prosperous. Though Shin hadn’t gone out to sea, it didn’t mean the Kuja Pirates hadn’t. After all, the entire country needed to be supported by the Kuja Pirates.
At that time, the Kuja Pirates were running rampant in the first half of the Grand Line, plundering many pirate crews—Yes, the Kuja Pirates lived by plundering the treasures of other pirate crews.
This was also the survival method of many pirate crews.
As for plundering the treasures of common people, that was something small-time pirates would do. Great pirates lived by robbing their peers and the treasures of the world.
Many great pirates in the New World had many kingdoms under them paying tribute, or rather, those kingdoms were paying for peace.
————
Leaving the Calm Belt, Shin led the Kuja Pirates and set off for Sabaody Archipelago in a grand manner.
At the same time, the Marines also received news of Shin leading the Kuja Pirates out to sea. Because of the World Government’s order, the Marines paid special attention to Shin’s movements—
“Garp, I didn’t call you here to eat.”
Sengoku’s face was black. He clenched his fists, wanting to beat Garp up.
Garp yawned boredly.
“Sengoku, I’m just a Vice Admiral. What are you discussing with me?? I’m not in charge of anything.”
Garp picked his nose and said nonchalantly.
Sengoku was really angered by Garp. This guy had become a scoundrel. Sengoku didn’t know what to say to his old comrade.
“I kind of regret not being like you…” Sengoku looked at the carefree Garp and couldn’t help but say.
Garp had refused promotion opportunities several times before. If Garp really wanted to be promoted, the one sitting in the Fleet Admiral’s position now would be Garp.
“BWAHAHAHAHA! I knew long ago that being a Fleet Admiral wasn’t easy.” Garp laughed loudly.
Let alone Fleet Admiral, he didn’t even want to be an Admiral.
————
“Since that’s the case, I’ll send you to deal with Shin Uzumaki.” Sengoku looked at the smile on Garp’s face, feeling a little unhappy.
“….”
Garp’s smile stiffened. Send him to deal with Shin Uzumaki? He’d rather not…
The fate of former Fleet Admiral Kong was still a warning to him.
“SENGOKU, WE’RE OLD COMRADES. DON’T SET ME UP.” Garp couldn’t help but say to Sengoku.
“Hmph! Then what do you say we do about Shin Uzumaki?”
“Shin Uzumaki should be heading to the New World. For us, it’s a great thing.” Garp said while eating senbei.
“Perhaps.”
Sengoku wasn’t as optimistic as Garp.
“And Sengoku, I think you should talk to Tsuru about these things. She’s the Chief of Staff. It’s useless to talk to me.”
“If Tsuru were here, would I need to find you?” Sengoku glanced at Garp.
Tsuru wasn’t at Marine Headquarters—she was out hunting Doflamingo.
“Then it’s none of my business. I’m leaving. Don’t bother me if there’s nothing. I’m going to see my grandson.”
Garp was going to Foosha Village to see Luffy. He was already three years old. As for Luffy’s father, Dragon, he had already established the Revolutionary Army.
————
Looking at the departing Garp, Sengoku shook his head helplessly. Garp was becoming more and more unreliable.
Especially after his grandson was born, Garp had been running out all the time, not staying at Marine Headquarters for long. If it were anyone else, they would have been dismissed long ago. But Marine Hero Garp was the face of the Marines.
“We still need to be on guard. We must not cause any trouble.”
After Garp left, Sengoku muttered to himself. He was very cautious.
Shin’s strength was too great—he had no choice but to be cautious. Though according to their guess, Shin was heading to the New World. If he went to the New World, then there wouldn’t be too big of a problem.
But the most crucial thing was that Shin hadn’t gone to the New World yet.
What if he caused some trouble before going to the New World?
Akainu and Aokiji were now in the New World, so Sengoku could only call Kizaru to be on standby.
He didn’t let Kizaru attack, but had him on standby. This made the lazy Kizaru helpless.
Kizaru’s personality was one of just getting by. He didn’t want to face an annoying guy like Shin Uzumaki.
————
Shin didn’t know about the movements on the Marine side. They had already arrived at Sabaody Archipelago.
He didn’t come here for coating. Shin didn’t need coating to get his ship underwater.
They came here to replenish supplies. After all, with so many people on the ship, the consumption was not small. Especially the people of the One Piece world—who were basically all big eaters.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Sabaody Archipelago.” Shin looked at the bubbles in the sky, as if he had come to a bubble kingdom.
“I wonder if I can see the Celestial Dragons.”
Shin had been in this world for a while but had never seen a Celestial Dragon.
Though the Celestial Dragons lived in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise—they sometimes came to Sabaody Archipelago.
But this time, the Celestial Dragons were scared and didn’t have the nerve to come out for now.
They were scared by Fisher Tiger.
Fisher Tiger freeing the slaves, though he hadn’t killed a single Celestial Dragon, had scared them badly.
