Pirate: Master Of Hueco Mundo

Three days later, Marine headquarters at Marineford port.

"Akainu boy, you have to remember that the purpose of this operation is to investigate, and you must not be carried away by anger."

Garp spoke earnestly to Akainu who was about to go to sea at the port.

"Don't worry, I will wash away the shame we had in Hueco Mundo..."

Akainu is still bitter about his surprise attack at Hueco Mundo. He always felt that in the battle of Impel down, two of the three Marine Admirals were sent to the front line to support, and even the Vice Admiral Garp was dispatched, but he was asked to stand by on the spot. This must be the senior management of Sengoku and even the World government , has begun to doubt his own strength.

"Bastard!" Garp suddenly scolded, "I told you not to get carried away by anger, don't you understand me! Among the three Admirals who symbolize Marine's highest combat power, although Kizaru and Aokiji have different personalities 05 is relatively lazy, but at least you can complete tasks normally and display your combat power in various situations. Only you, Sakazuki, are the most serious and responsible of the three, and you are also the one who insists on Marine justice the most. But you Understand that it is this extreme sense of responsibility that will bring you disaster."

"Catastrophe..." Akainu repeated these two words.

"People need to know how to be flexible, especially those who are in high positions like you, they must learn to be flexible. In this regard alone, Kizaru and Aokiji are better than you."

Hearing this, Akainu couldn't help frowning.

"Look, look, you want to get angry after you say a few words." Garp also shook his head helplessly, "No one in Marine doubts your strength, so you don't have to worry about that at all. As for the matter in Hueco Mundo, I I also wrote a report to the top, explaining that you were attacked from behind by the enemy and lost your combat power instantly. So, don't have any psychological burden, just do a good job in the current investigation. As for the shame, of course there is a chance Let you wash, but not this time, understand?"

Akainu was silent for a while, then nodded.

"I understand. In this operation, I will put detection as the top priority and protect the lives of the 200 Marines on board."

"very good."

Garp patted Akainu on the shoulder and smiled. He turned around and looked at Sengoku and Crane behind him, and confirmed that there was no one else within ten steps, so he stretched out his head and said to Akainu in a low voice:

"While there is a fair amount of seastone on board, it must not be relied upon too heavily.

After speaking, Garp laughed out loud again.

"Okay! Let's see you off here, let's go!"

Akainu looked at Garp suspiciously, knowing that it was best not to ask anything.

So, he turned around and stepped onto the battleship. A few minutes later, the battleship left the port and headed towards Alabasta at high speed.

Garp stood at the port and looked at the battleship gradually disappearing on the sea level. Sengoku and Tsuru also stepped forward.

"What, you told Sakazuki?" Tsuru laughed.

"Ah, at least, let Admiral of our army know the truth." Garp closed his eyes and wrote lightly.

"He, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd? Is the information about seastone accurate?" Sengoku asked beside him.

"I'm afraid, it's just my conjecture. If seastone is really useful, it would be great." He sighed.

"Sure enough, you're lying," Sengoku said. After all, as the Marine Marshal, also known as The Resourceful General, it is impossible for Sengoku to be unaware of Crane's plan.

"Although we have not obtained any specimens, Xu's corpse will gradually decompose and disappear after death. However, based on limited information, it is not difficult to see that those monsters called Xu, as well as the strong men called Arrancar or Espada, are basically They are creatures from another world. The source of their strength and ability should be completely different from Devil Fruit. Therefore, the idea of ​​using seastone to curb their combat power is too fantastical." Crane said every word Said.

"So, are you trying to deceive the Marine executives on purpose?" Sengoku said.

"How can you say it's deception," Garp laughed, "Xiaohe has been emphasizing that it's just her speculation."

Hearing this, Sengoku also laughed. There is also an extraordinary tacit understanding among these three old comrades who joined Marine at the same time.

"Speaking of which, once your speculation was released, the Marine executives who attended the meeting three days ago were greatly encouraged. I believe this news will soon spread from top to bottom in Marine

Boost the morale of the entire Marine. said Sengoku.

"Isn't this the purpose of Xiaohe from the beginning?"

"Yes." Crane's expression became dignified, "Facing the overwhelming strength of the enemy, we have nothing to rely on. This is not acceptable, no matter what it is, Marine must have someone who can make them see hope." Something. Hope is the only thing that will bring us to victory, even if it is...false hope.

"Then, Garp, why are you telling Sakazuki the truth?"

"Soldiers need hope in order to fight. But Admiral, you must know the truth to lead soldiers to victory." Garp said word by word.

On the sea, the warship where Akainu was on was beaten by the waves. Even though they knew they were going to Alabasta, where the enemies gathered, the Marines on the ship didn't have the slightest fear.

"Is that Alabasta really occupied by monsters..."

"Don't worry! We have a lot of seastone on board, as long as we have these secret weapons, those monsters will lose their power and be slaughtered by us like babies.

"That's right, that's right, besides, we have Akainu Admiral, one of the three Marine Admirals, leading us, so nothing will happen!"

But at this moment, Akainu stood alone at the bow of the boat, looking at the undulating sea ahead.

"Don't rely too much on seastone..." He thought over and over what Garp secretly told him before leaving, and a bad premonition haunted his heart.

"Sakazuki Admiral! Front, what is that!"

At this time, a panicked voice suddenly came from behind Akainu...
