days in the world of pirates

The news was soon announced.

Due to Jinbei's refusal to cooperate with the Navy's actions against Whitebeard, the World Government and the Navy withdrew his title as King of the Shichibukai.

——and conveniently put him in jail.

The place where he was imprisoned was also the cell where Ace was imprisoned.

As a result, after the number of members of the King's Shichibukai was full, it once again became the King's Rokubukai.

Why say goodbye? That's the question.

…

Now let's move the timeline back a little bit.

When Luffy attacked the Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Islands, Mawson was escorting Ace to the Deep Sea Prison.

Probably when Kizaru was beating up a group of children under the slogan "Every bite is scary, every kick is a supernova", Mawson also came to the deep sea prison Impelton without any trouble and imprisoned Ace.

Entered the sixth floor.

At the same time, he also imprisoned former CP9 and current subordinate Rob Lucci and a group of others.

Well, since Khalifa has taken over as secretary, she is exempted from this mission.

Several others cried and fainted in the deep-sea prison.

Of course, the person Khalifa serves is no longer Mawson but becomes the junior adjutant Ain.

Who knows who is envious of whom!

On the surface they were being held, but in fact several people were in separate cells, and even the handcuffs were ordinary handcuffs for fear that they would not be able to break free.

Somewhat coincidentally, the location where they were imprisoned was not far from the cadres of the Don Quixote family.

These are not big problems. After Mawson explained them, he left directly.

Because of the reason for saying hello, Ace was not tortured by Impel Down City's package, but was directly locked up in the sixth floor of Impel Down City.

After completing these tasks, he immediately rushed back to the Navy Headquarters to report his work to the Warring States Period.

This led to various matters such as the announcement of Ace's public execution and the naval meeting.

Time is frozen here.

Old Man Karp came directly to the Warring States Office after the meeting.

After entering the door this time, he did not sit down and drink tea as before, but went straight to the topic: "Warring States, I want to go to Xiejian City!"

At this time, Warring States looked a little tired. Even though he was powerful, after all, he was already a 77-year-old man.

Thinking about various things to deal with Whitebeard during this period has made him physically and mentally exhausted.

After a long silence, Warring States said: "You should understand your identity, Garp!"

Garp also looked at Sengoku quietly. Their decades-long friendship will naturally not be affected by Ace's incident. Moreover, he also understands Sengoku's character. Once such a major event involving the future of the navy is involved, he will have no emotions.

Speakable.

But to say that there is no resentment at all is unrealistic.

After all, people are not machines. Even Garp's careless character still has his own feelings.

The person imprisoned in Impel Down City is also the grandson he has always cared for!

"I'm not so stupid that I've forgotten my identity, so this time it's just an ordinary grandpa's visit to his grandson, and nothing else will be involved!"

Sengoku nodded: "I believe in your integrity as a navy veteran."

After a pause, he continued: "Garp, how many years have we known each other?"

"More than fifty years ago, right?"

Garp didn't know the meaning of Sengoku's sudden question, but he still answered.

"58 years."

Warring States sighed, "At that time, I was nineteen, you were eighteen, Xiaohe was sixteen, and Zefa was fourteen. We joined the navy in the same batch."

As he spoke, Warring States pushed up his glasses and stood up.

He looked at Garp and said: "Among the students in the same period, you have always been the strongest one, and that guy Zefa is the most desperate. Xiaohe and I are far behind the two of you in this aspect. Although

We are all capable.

Later, Rocks became famous all over the world and was the most powerful pirate in the new world. But in the end, we did not play any role. Instead, you and Roger teamed up to take down Rocks.

Later, the rise of these three guys, Roger, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion, made the new world a mess.

Especially Roger. With only one ship at the time, he unexpectedly defeated the Golden Lion and went to Rafdru to be known as the Pirate King."

Sengoku's words triggered Garp's memories, and his expression became vivid.

"Ah hahahaha, that bastard Roger is really powerful. Although I could chase him all over the world, I still couldn't catch him. In the end, it was this guy who surrendered himself that caught him."

Although the World Government claims that the navy captured Roger, they all know the truth and there is no need to hide anything here.

Warring States didn't pay attention to what Garp said. He looked at Garp and asked: "Ace, is he Roger's child who has never been caught?"

After being stunned for a moment, Garp nodded.

Ever since Ace went to sea, he had no hope of keeping the secret from Sengoku. Although old Garp was stubborn, he was not stupid.

Warring States is known as the ‘wise general’, and I have been friends with him for most of my life. It can be said that I know him better than he does himself.

To say that after such a long search, there is still no trace of Ace and that Sengoku didn't guess him, even old Garp himself doesn't believe it.

It's just a tacit understanding.

It didn't matter if he didn't say it a few years ago. After all, no one could have predicted that Ace would become a pirate and become the captain of Whitebeard's second team.

It's a different situation now, and there's no need to keep hiding it.

Warring States pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and crossed his arms across his chest: "After Roger was executed, Whitebeard became the vane of all pirates. If this guy doesn't fall, he will lead countless people to the sea.

You have also seen Ace's potential. If he is allowed to continue to grow in the Whitebeard Pirates, he will inevitably not become the next Roger.

This is an excellent opportunity, Garp. As a naval marshal, if I give up this opportunity, I would be irresponsible to all naval soldiers and to my own position.

No matter who is in the prison, even if it is my grandson, I will never give up this opportunity to deal with Whitebeard.

If you want to blame, blame me!"

Sengoku's words made Garp clenched and then lowered his fists. He was silent for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "It doesn't matter who to blame. He should have had such an awareness since Ace went to sea and became a pirate. I also have this awareness..."

After giving Garp a deep look, Warring States waved his hand: "Okay, go ahead!"

Garp lowered his head, turned around, and walked outside. Only Sengoku was left in the room.

He looked at the door where his old friend disappeared and was speechless for a long time. Even his tall and straight body looked a little rickety.

With a faint sigh, Warring States put aside those useless emotions, returned to his office, and continued to work.

All plans to deal with Whitebeard cannot be taken lightly.

…

…

Deep sea prison.

This place is located in a windless zone, so outsiders cannot know the specific location. Also, due to the relationship between the triangular currents between Judiciary Island and the Navy Headquarters Marinefando, it is difficult to reach here even if the location is known.

The three huge Gates of Justice not only control the entry and exit of ocean currents, but also serve as a natural barrier.

During this time, Impel City has been much busier than before.

Impel Down City is actually always busy. As a prison that has existed for hundreds of years, countless criminals have been imprisoned here.

Except for the sixth floor, most prisoners on the other five floors will not enjoy life imprisonment.

Otherwise, the entire Impel City would have been overcrowded long ago.

Some died because they couldn't bear it when enjoying certain packages, some were executed because they lost value, and some were sent to various research institutions or secret places to extract residual value.

For ordinary pirates, this place is a terrifying hell, and most of the vicious pirates who come here will soon reveal their fragile side.

However, the sixth floor is different from the other floors due to the identities of the prisoners held there.

Especially the big pirates who are imprisoned alone in the depths of the sixth floor. They will be treated differently depending on their respective circumstances.

It’s just that each of the guys who can be held in solitary confinement has their own unique abilities and style, and the original packages in Impel Down are often not applicable to them.

For example, the original Tenryujin, King Shichibukai and Doflamingo have never been on various set meals, and sometimes Magellan even has to be careful not to be killed by certain people.

As for the guy who was newly imprisoned on the sixth floor this time, he needed to be tortured according to the original procedure, but with Mo Sen saying hello first, he was spared the physical pain.

It will not make the physical injury more serious.

So when Garp appeared in front of Ace, except that his freedom of movement was completely restricted by the Sea Tower Stone Chain, his mental state and body were fine.

Ace's arms were opened and he was locked to the wall of the cell by the sea-floor stone. Due to the height, he could only sit on his knees or cross-legged on the cold ground.

This is a very uncomfortable and humiliating posture. The upper body is fixed to the wall made of sea floor stone, and the feet are also cuffed with sea floor stone. There is no way to make any big movements.

, maintaining this posture for a long time will cause considerable damage to the body.

Fortunately, even though Ace's abilities were blocked by the Sea Tower Stone, his own physical skills were quite good and he wouldn't be able to endure even this little torture.

Garp walked outside Ace's prison, sat cross-legged on the ground, crossed his arms and looked at Ace inside.

This extremely silent sixth floor seems to have split a huge space. The cage in front of you and Garp at the door have become an independent space.

It's actually normal not to be accompanied by anyone in the prison. Old Garp still has some respect for himself as a naval hero.

"Old... old man~"

Ace knew who appeared, and he spoke in a somewhat cryptic manner.

Garp clasped his nostrils with one hand: "It's been so long and you can't even say "Grandpa"? In this regard, that guy Luffy is much more obedient than you.

Although he is as naughty as you, at least he still respects me as a grandfather even under the iron fist of my love."

Even in the current situation, Ace couldn't help but curl his lips and rolled his eyes upwards.

I took your word for it, you bad old man is so bad!
