One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

"Vice Admiral Garp!"

Garp, holding a bag of donuts in his arms, walked out of the crowd slowly amid the soldiers' respect.

"Baji Baji..."

Garp casually glanced at Hancock while eating the donuts stolen from Sengoku.

"Seven Warlords of the Sea, Empress, what do you want to do in the East China Sea?"

Although the tone was calm, the words from the mouth of the legendary hero of the navy who once chased the Pirate King gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.

On the pirate ship, the female warriors of the Nine Snakes held their weapons tightly with sweaty palms, and the visible domineering aura was entangled in them to prepare for the battle, but they secretly prayed in their hearts that no conflict would break out.

Above the snake's head, Hancock's pretty face became extremely ugly. She knew very well that Garp was different from other high-ranking navy officers. This old man was a lawless existence, and even Sengoku, who was known as a wise general, could not restrain him.

If she dared to take action today, even with Rayleigh, she would not dare to guarantee her fate.

Although she was scared, Hancock still held her head high and said proudly, "Garp, I am a Shichibukai recognized by the World Government. It is not your Navy's turn to ask where I want to go."

"Hahaha..."

Garp laughed heartily while eating donuts.

As the person who turned the East China Sea into the weakest sea, Garp would not allow powerful pirates to enter the East China Sea to endanger his hometown. If the empress in front of him could not give a reasonable explanation, Garp would not suggest sending her to Impel Down to live for a while.

Taking off the navy cloak behind him, Garp asked again: "Tell me, pirate, why do you want to go to the East China Sea!"

Unlike before, this time the questioning was breathtaking, his pupils trembled, dark red thunder danced wildly, Garp's domineering color enveloped the entire Nine Snake Pirate Ship, and the world seemed to turn into a black and white picture.

As if they were hit by a hammer, a large number of Nine Snake warriors fell quickly, leaving only a part of the strong ones who were still struggling to support. The spirit from the world's top strongmen was not something they could bear.

"Heroic Haki, I have it too!"

In the open sea, another different aura suddenly erupted, blasting the sea water, and Hancock released her own Hakuo Haki.

The two different Hakuo Haki collided, and the waves blasted holes in the sea.

"Garp, let me answer your question."

Along with the familiar voice, there was also a Hakuo Haki stronger than Hancock.

"Haha, Rayleigh, why are you here? Did you join this woman's pirate group?"

Feeling that Garp was still out of tune, Rayleigh smiled and said, "Garp, don't joke, I just asked Hancock to take me away for something."

"As for the reason why we went to the East China Sea, just follow me and you will know."

"Vice Admiral Garp!"

Bogart worriedly called Garp who was about to leave.

"Haha! It's okay, Bogart, you don't know Rayleigh's character yet!" Ignoring Bogart's worries, Garp stepped on the moon step and left the warship directly.

"Damn it, you dare to ignore me!"

The angry Hancock stared at the backs of the two old men, stamped her feet in anger, and looked at the ordinary warships in the distance with dissatisfaction, and found that these navy still avoided the ability of her sweet fruit by self-mutilation.

In the palace, in a room that was obviously a female bedroom, Garp and Rayleigh stood beside a soft big bed.

On the bed, a girl with white hair was sleeping quietly.

"Ann!"

Garp shouted, he didn't expect that he would see his granddaughter again in this way.

The observation color swept over Ann's body, and soon Garp found that his granddaughter's body was normal.

Gently shaking his granddaughter's body, Ann did not respond.

"Rayleigh, what's going on!"

Unlike the usual laughing face, Garp's face was full of worry this time.

"There is nothing wrong with Ann's body. I also asked the doctor of Nine Snake Island to see it. The final conclusion is that he was severely traumatized mentally."

"Severely traumatized mentally!"

As a strong man on the sea, Garp knew very well that compared with physical injuries, mental injuries were more difficult to heal.

I thought An had only suffered minor injuries and escaped from Sakaski's men, but I didn't expect the injury to be so serious.

Garp, who was irritated, paced back and forth in the room, and the hard wooden floor creaked under his feet.

"Calm down, Garp, it's useless to be so anxious!"

After Rayleigh's reminder, Garp also knew that he was panicking.

"So, you went to the East China Sea this time to find a doctor to treat An?"

Seeing Garp regain his sanity, Rayleigh said lightly: "Yes, through Shanks we know that the fruit of encouragement of the captain of the Revolutionary Army may cure An."

Bending down and holding his lovely granddaughter with both hands, Garp glanced at Rayleigh, "I want to take my granddaughter away."

"Whatever you want," Rayleigh agreed, noticing the unkindness in Garp's eyes.

Following Garp, Rayleigh touched his chin and thought to himself: "Should I also give birth to a daughter to play with?"

Walking out of the room, Hancock watched Garp take An away and wanted to step forward to stop him.

"Hancock, Garp is Ann's grandfather. Ann will be safer with him," Rayleigh stopped her from behind.

Although she was surprised that Garp was Ann's grandfather, Hancock still said disdainfully, "Humph! So what if he is her grandfather? He can't even protect his own granddaughter."

"The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional." Garp, who was already feeling uncomfortable, looked even gloomier.

On the deck of the warship.

"Vice Admiral Garp, how could An be here!" Bogart, who had just returned to the warship, stayed where he was.

For the first time, he ignored Bogart and walked towards his room with his granddaughter in his arms.

In Garp's room.

Sitting on the floor with his head against the wall of the room, Garp's large, calloused hands tightly held his granddaughter's small hands, listening to the sound of the waves outside the window.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Rhythmic knocks came, and even without the need for sight and hearing, Garp knew who it was.

Bogart's familiar voice sounded outside the door, "Vice Admiral Garp, you haven't eaten for a day. I brought some food for you and An."

Not eating for a day has no effect on the strong. Bogart just wanted to take this opportunity to remind Garp to take care of his body.

"Come in!"

With consent, Bogart walked in with food.

"Sit down and chat with me," Garp picked up a bowl of food similar to porridge from the food and fed it to An with a spoon.

"Bogart, do you think I am a qualified grandfather?" He said, but his hands did not stop, and he sent spoonful after spoonful of food to the girl's mouth. Garp would also gently wipe away the food that overflowed from the corner of her mouth for An.

"Vice Admiral Garp."

Bogart was a little dazed, looking at the gray hair of the old man squatting on the ground, and couldn't help thinking in his heart that so much time had passed.

At the age of 16, he joined the navy and was assigned to Garp's ship. After experiencing those long years, more than 30 years have passed. He once defeated Rocks, chased the Pirate King and fled everywhere, and solved one after another famous pirates in the sea. In the end, the man who was once high-spirited and vigorous is still old.

In the end, he is just an ordinary person with a stronger strength. He also has the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness of ordinary people, and the sadness and helplessness of ordinary people.

"He has paid too much for the justice in his heart!!"

Stroking the big sword on his waist, Bogart had a strange idea, "Vice Admiral Garp, why don't we find a chance to kill Akainu and avenge An!"
