Sailing: The Most Rigid Marine Marshal In History

"Old man."

In the dark prison cell, Ace was handcuffed by seastone behind his hands, his eyes dimmed.

He wanted to make a name for himself, but he didn't expect to be hunted down by Marine after only about three years at sea.

All freedom, all dreams are turned into ashes at this moment.

Garp remained silent for a long time. Seeing his grandson like this, to be honest, he also felt a little distressed, but compared to being executed, this ending is undoubtedly much better.

"Relax in jail here, Ace, you'll be fine in a few years.

"If Marine knows my identity, will she let me go?"

Ace looked unexpectedly calm.

The moment the Whitebeard Pirates were destroyed, he saw his end.

The ending he had envisioned countless times was because of the blood of criminals on his body.

"Of course you can live. Although you are Roger's son, you don't have to bear this burden in the future. Ace, Karl has already said "I will not execute you because you are Roger's son."

Garp said with a peaceful smile on his face.

Ace is his grandson, and he grew up watching him, so he naturally knows that the identity of Roger's son is such a heavy burden in Ace's heart.

At this moment, this news may also be a relief for Ace.

"What?"

Ace couldn't believe it when he heard Garp's words.

The moment he became a pirate, he already had the consciousness to be on the execution platform when he was arrested, but now he was told that he didn't need to be executed.

For Ace, who has always been burdened with heavy blood shackles, it is undoubtedly a thunderbolt piercing into a heavy life.

"After being released from prison, live with a new identity, without having to think about Roger's identity. Perhaps this is what Roger, and your mother Rouge hoped for. Being a parent and having your child grow up safely is the greatest vision. gone."

Garp's voice was rare and gentle, without the incongruity of the past.

"It's not like you, Lu.

The astonishment on Ace's face gradually dissipated, and he looked at Garp with a smile and snorted.

"Don't get too carried away, brat."

Garp sat cross-legged on the ground, folded his hands on his chest and cursed with a smile: "But I'm ugly, if you want to be a pirate again after you get out of here, I will catch you back with my own hands."

Garp waved his muscular arms.

But then he calmed down again, said.

"However, when you really go out from here, it's still a matter of whether there are any pirates."

According to Karl's current wrist and progress.

Garp really thinks that he can end the era of great pirates, and even wipe out the existence of pirates completely.

After taking down the Whitebeard Pirates, Garp, like other Marine executives, has an absolute belief in Karl.

This man seems to have come here specifically to end the pirates and realize Marine's ultimate dream. If even Karl can't end the pirates, then Garp can't think of anyone else who can.

"Marshal Karl, that man is indeed a monster."

The happy expression on Ace's face faded away, and he muttered in a low voice.

This battle really hit him hard, the strength he was proud of, he didn't pass a single move in front of that same young man.

The daddy he adored and fanatically recognized, in his opinion, Whitebeard, who was the strongest existence in the world, was also defeated by that man.

It can be said that during this day, all of Ace's hopes of being a pirate were shattered by Karl.

Different from the original work, Ace in the original work also had remorse and introspection after being arrested and sent to the deep sea prison, and this introspection reached its peak after the handsome Whitebeard came to Marineford.

But there is still hope for Whitebeard after all.

Now, although there is no shadow of death, as a pirate, he is probably more desperate than in the original work.

Because of his reasons and dreams of becoming a pirate, as well as all his partners, the entire Whitebeard Pirates are in prison.

Moreover, Karl's strength brings a kind of shadow to Ace that cannot be surpassed in a lifetime.

It can be said that Karl has become Ace's nightmare.

Before breaking through Karl's nightmare, Ace will never be able to become a pirate again.

Just like Master Hammer he met in his hometown when he was young, Lord Hammer was completely defeated by Roger when he was young, and it was not until he was old that he really saw through Roger's shadow and sailed again.

As for Ace, it may be difficult to break through Karl's inner demon in his life, and his will has been shattered.

"Anyway, you have a lot of time now, "you can think about it here". "

Garp stood up, shook his shoulders and said with a smile: "I will come to see you often."

"To be honest, Ace, now that you've been arrested, my heart is much calmer. Let's live well and leave."

When Garp was about to walk to the door of the cell, he couldn't help but pause and said in a deep voice.

After speaking, he left the cell freely.

"grandfather."

Looking at Garp's back, Ace whispered the title that he would never say in front of Garp.

This is also a nickname he never called out in the original work.

"Hmph, you brat."

What Ace didn't see was when he called out Grandpa.

Garp stopped at the corner of the prison door, tears flickering in the corners of his eyes.

next morning.

The sun shines on the sea and on this huge island, and the seagulls fly in the sky, making a cry that seems to have the breath of the sea breeze.

This was originally Whitebeard's territory, but now it has completely become Marine's territory.

The people living here are still a little scared at the moment, because they are used to Whitebeard's shelter, and now the arrival of Marine makes them a little afraid.

Strictly speaking, this place belongs to the non-joint countries, and many of them were forced to escape after being persecuted by nobles or Celestial Dragons.

Just like the non-joint country that Doflamingo's parents went to after giving up their Celestial Dragons status in the original work.

They have a natural sense of distrust and even disgust towards Marine, a running dog of the World government.

This cannot be eliminated in a short period of time. There must be a long-term process of building trust.

In the very center of the island, in a tall building, this was originally a stronghold prepared by the Whitebeard Pirates themselves.

A huge tavern used for revelry, and at this moment it was temporarily recruited by Marine as the base.

The second Marine meeting after Karl took office will be held here soon.

At this moment, the senior management of Marine has arrived, except Kizaru who has rushed back to Egghead, and the crane from Marineford who is located in the first half of the Grand Line.

All other Marine executives are here.

Sengoku Garp Zephyr of the older generation, Akainu Aokiji Fujitora Green Bull of the newer generation, Momousagi and Tea Dolphin of the alternate Admiral level are all here at the moment.

It is worth mentioning that the Green Bull, who was originally rebellious, showed extraordinary respect and even fanatical admiration after seeing Karl's arrival.

Green Bull is such a person, what he pursues is strong power, and what he recognizes is the set of absolute law of the jungle.

Whoever is strong is justified, discrimination is equal to peace of mind, the strong should step on the weak is the truth.

This is the Green Bull, and there is no doubt that Karl, the Marshal of Marine, is the strongest existence in the Green Bull's mind at the moment, no matter in terms of status or strength, he has formed an absolute crush.

Therefore, his trust and respect for Karl at this moment is higher than that of Akainu before, because Karl is far stronger than Akainu.

Undoubtedly, Green Bull is a somewhat extreme existence, and his personality is even more extreme than Akainu. Although he has some justice in his heart, if he is not properly guided, he will be more extreme than some

Fortunately, he came to Marine. With Karl, he has the confidence and strength to knock on the crooked tree of Huangmu, chop off the crooked branches, and let him return to the right path.

"Everyone came so early."

Karl looked at the Marine executives in the conference room. This was the second time he held a Marine executive meeting.

Strictly speaking, the previous one with Tsuru and Garp Sengoku is not counted, because there were too few high-level people.

I can feel that the atmosphere of the first meeting is different.

In the first meeting, Karl was still too young after all, and he didn't have a very exaggerated record to support him. The only thing he could show was strength.

But after completely taking down the Whitebeard Pirates this time, Karl's position in Marine has been absolutely stable. The record of the Whitebeard Pirates is equivalent to shaping a golden body for Karl.

Just like Garp's defeat of the Rocks Pirate, and the pursuit of the Roger Pirates, Marine has a record.

The last Pluton Rayleigh and this Whitebeard are nothing compared.

After all, one is an old pirate who has retired for 20 years, and the other is the Four Emperors who are still active in New World and are recognized as the strongest.

The gap between the two is really too big.

"Then stop talking nonsense now, and get straight to the point."

Karl sat on the main seat and spoke directly to everyone present.

"There are several topics for this meeting. First, when I was in Marineford, I discussed with Mr. Sengoku, Grandma Crane, about the relocation of Naval Headquarters."

"Relocation of the headquarters?"

Except for Garp and Sengoku, no one else is clear about this matter.

After all, the Whitebeard Pirates' war broke out before, and the importance of the relocation of the headquarters came after the crusade against Whitebeard.

"This matter has already started, but I haven't notified you yet. Now I will say it again. I plan to transfer the Naval Headquarters, which was originally located in Marineford, to the Sabaody Archipelago not far from Marineford."

"Sabaody Land."

Akainu Aokiji and the others changed their expressions, it was obvious that they also knew what kind of fluctuations would be caused in the world if the headquarters were transferred to Sabaody.

It's just because of the trust in Karl, and the experienced Sengoku didn't object to this matter, and Aokiji and Akainu didn't say much either.

Karl didn't give them a chance to question it, because this matter has already been finalized and started, and what he wants to say is another matter.

"Now I have a new idea, our Marine will implement a dual-headquarters policy."

"Double Headquarters?"

Now even Sengoku Garp was a little surprised, because they didn't know about it beforehand.

Literally they understand what it means, but the specific measures are still at a loss.

"The so-called dual headquarters means that we will build a Naval Headquarters in the first half of the Grand Line and New World in the second half."

"The headquarters of the first half of the Grand Line is set at the Sabaody Archipelago. As for the Naval Headquarters of the second half of the Grand Line, it is currently tentatively set as the Whitebeard territory.

"Of course it's only tentative, because the largest territory we currently have in New World is here. As for the follow-up, my ideal destination is an island opposite the Sabaody Archipelago in the first half of New World, as our in the New World

headquarters base.

`If ​​this is only relatively true, the original G1 branch base can be used as the headquarters base of New World. "

Sengoku said.

G1 can't, it must be an island completely opposite to Sabaody Archipelago, because.

Karl looked at all the Marine executives present, his eyes were full of light and he said: "I want to get through the Red Line completely, just behind the Sabaody Archipelago, and make a scary line.

The passage for warships to sail out completely penetrates the New World and the paradise.

As soon as the idea of ​​getting through the Red Line came out, Sengoku Garp and the others all looked shocked, including Shigu and the others.

"But Karl, do you know how long the Red Line is? If you want to open up enough roads for warships to sail, it will take too much manpower and material resources."

"In addition, the soil of the Red Line itself is extremely hard, and it is difficult to mine the Red Line with normal methods.

Sengoku reminded.

"I know all of this, I don't plan to use conventional means to get through, I plan to use Demon fruit power.

Karl said.

To be honest, he was very curious.

Obviously possessing all kinds of messy Devil Fruit abilities, Marine has never thought of digging through the Red Line since then.

In Karl's view, although it is normally a difficult task, with the help of Demon fruit power like Shishi fruit and Dadao fruit,

It's really not that hard to get through Red Line.

The width and height of a large island can be dug out at one time, and the excavation speed is surprisingly fast.

"Is it possible to perform the Devil Fruit ability that affects the properties of earth and stone?"

Sengoku thought: "There are not many people with this ability in Marine, do you have a goal?"

"certainly."

Karl smiled and said: "And in a short period of time, it is also possible to consider not mining the channel that can pass through large warships. At present, as long as a small hole can be opened, it is enough for sea trains to pass through.

OK. "

"As long as sea trains can pass, we will be connected in the first half of New World, Grand Line and the whole world, and we can support each other. The mobility is much stronger than now

Akainu and Aokiji also nodded in approval.

They've had enough of going under the sea, or detours from the Calm Belt to the New World.

"A new way to the New World."

Sengoku was thinking more (well) at the moment.

He knew that Karl's ultimate goal was not to eliminate all pirates, but also to overthrow the corrupt World government.

What he wants to get through the Red Line at the moment is also to break the World government's monopoly on the shortcut to the New World safely.

You must know that of all the three current roads leading to the New World, only the Five Elders road is the safest.

"Secondly, we need to start conscription in New World. After taking down the Whitebeard territory, if we want to continue to fight in New World, we currently have

Somewhat stretched. "

"The target of the conscription, my suggestion is a part of the murlocs of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, and other people from the countries that joined the New World."

"Soldiers from Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line, try not to need them."

Karl said.

This is done because the channel has not been opened yet, and it is more troublesome to transport the soldiers in the first half of the Grand Line to New World.

The second reason is that there are fewer concerns between New World soldiers and World government.

The current Marine and the World government are at a standstill, and the World government actually has a lot of wrists that can handle Marine.

The most deadly point is the source of the current Marine soldiers, most of which come from the first half of the Grand Line and the third member country of the Four Seas.

It's just a stalemate now, but it's okay to say that if the face is really torn apart, the World government will label Marine a pirate.

Most of the Marine soldiers from countries all over the world will stand against Marine due to family pressure.

However, if the army is recruited in New World, there will be no such troubles. Part of New World's troops can come from Whitebeard's territory, and it doesn't matter if the other part is from the joining countries.

The world's dominance over these joining countries of the New World is very low.

Karl is now really ready to use New World as the basic disc.

If it really breaks with the World government, almost all the branches of the Four Seas can be abandoned, or it can't be said to be abandoned. When that time comes, those branches

It must have been easily taken over by the World government.

In a place like a franchise country, it is better to let the revolutionary army do it, they are more professional. .
