The blackening of the heavens begins with Hokage

The Five Old Stars knelt down on one knee in the main hall.

No one dared to speak out and no one knew what to say.

"Trash! They are all trash!"

"After raising you for so many years, there is no good way to deal with them?"

One of the Five Old Stars said: "Lord Im, whether it is [pacifist] or other plans, they are currently in progress. If we choose to start the war at this time, then all our previous efforts will be in vain.

And we will suffer huge losses.”

The World Government has the ability to completely wipe out the rebels and the Monkey D clan.

Because of their strong strength, even if the rebels gathered so many like-minded strong men, they were still unable to replace them.

The reason why I didn't become ruthless and completely erase everything.

It's not that they have good intentions.

It's because they already regard the entire world as their property.

Going to war with the rebels rashly is like fighting with thieves in your own home. All the broken furniture and financial losses belong to you.

So they are always looking for solutions with the lowest loss.

"Asshole!"

"If the plan doesn't work out for a day, just let them continue to be arrogant in front of us all day? How can this make us conquer the world lose face?! This is the answer you gave me?!"

It's okay if you don't listen, but Im will get even more angry when you hear it.

It’s not that he lacks strength.

In the end, he was forced to suffer injustice for various reasons.

"Sir, please be patient."

"We are already looking for candidates with talent and potential to train. As long as the candidates we are looking for grow up, maybe we don't need to wait for the various plans to bear fruit, we can give that group of rabble a hard blow. Even

Isn’t it impossible to deal with the Monkey D clan in advance?”

"Choose? Who?"

One of the five old stars stood up, bent forward, handed the five posters to Im very respectfully, then stepped back and continued to kneel on one knee in the main hall.

Im looking through the posters and asked, "Who are these people?"

"These are outstanding talents we selected from within the world government or the navy."

Among the five posters, the first four are all about people who conquered the world, but the owner of the last poster is wearing a navy uniform. Listening to the report of the five old stars, and looking at the navy on the poster, Im

There was a trace of disdain and disgust on his face.

"Is there no one in the world government? Can't even get 5 talented guys together?"

"What's going on with the Navy?"

"Why did you choose him?"

"Sir, the navy man on the poster is the most outstanding young man of this generation. Not only does he have excellent leadership skills, but he also has considerable strength. In just a few years, he has grown from an ordinary person to an ordinary person.

He was a sailor and was promoted to rear admiral. During this period, he trained many talents for the navy and arrested many pirates.

And, the most important thing is...he never loses!"

At this point, even Im, who has never had a good impression of the navy, had to take a high look at the face on the poster: "What's his name?"

The five old stars said in unison: "Rear Admiral, Li Yaoxiang!"

…

at the same time.

Time goes back to shortly after Luffy left Fish-Man Island.

East China Sea.

On a certain battleship adrift in the ocean.

Garp stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the distant horizon where the sky and the ocean were connected.

one Year……

Luffy has been missing for a whole year...

After returning from Judiciary Island, he searched in the East China Sea for half a year, but there was still no news about Luffy, and there was no useful news from the Navy.

His son Monkey D-Long also learned the news and began to order revolutionary armies around the world to frequently create all kinds of trouble for the world government.

The situation in the entire One Piece world has become increasingly tense.

There is a faint tendency that a war is about to start.

Even in the navy, he began to feel heavy pressure.

This caused his mood to become increasingly complicated.

On one side are justice and colleagues.

On one side is the son.

He didn't know how to choose.

I originally thought that as long as he was alive, he would never see this scene happen and could act as a bridge between the two parties and prevent the conflict between the two parties from deteriorating further.

But I didn't expect that everything would change because of Luffy's disappearance.

Now even if he wants to continue to stop it, there is nothing he can do.

At this time, a rough palm patted his shoulder.

The person coming is Garp's old buddy.

He is also the deputy captain of this ship.

"Old guy, don't think so much. Don't take all the responsibility on yourself. But don't forget that there is a group of brothers behind you who will always support you."

Garp turned his head and patted the palm on his shoulder.

Signaling ‘I know, thank you for your comfort, brother’.

But just when the two of them were full of love and were about to stage a big scene where brothers were like brothers, there was a slight vibration on the deck of the battleship.

In the corner of their eyes, a short unknown object appeared.

Luffy acted as if nothing had happened and passed directly by the two old guys who were in deep love.

Walk to the side of the boat.

He took a deep breath, opened his big hands, and thought about the sea breeze gently blowing on his face while saying: "Ha~ I'm finally back!"

The two old guys who were facing each other, you and me, were stunned for a full 5 seconds before they reacted.

As soon as he reacted, Garp rushed towards Luffy and gave Luffy a loving iron fist.

It hurt so much that Luffy burst into tears.

He rubbed his head and said, "Ouch——! Old guy! Why did you hit me?!"

"Why should I hit you?! You don't even know what you did?!"

Garp wanted to hit Luffy with a few more iron fists, but his friend hooked his shoulders from behind and stopped him: "Okay, okay, stop fighting. He's fine, just get back safely."

Garp suddenly used his strength to throw away his friend, and glared at him fiercely.

The gay friend was so frightened that he immediately raised his hands and surrendered, and stopped messing around.

Garp walked up to Luffy with a fierce look and lifted Luffy up high: "Tell me! Where did you go?!"

Luffy snorted and turned his head.

He crossed his arms and refused to answer.

"Okay, okay! You won't tell me, right? Today I'm going to show you how powerful I am, old man! It seems that my past discipline to you was still too kind..."

The gay friend rushed up again: "No, no, no, Garp, please calm down first and let me try, let me try, okay?"

Garp turned his head and glared at his friend.

The gay friend smiled and said softly: "Let me come, let me try."

Garp then put down Luffy and moved a few steps.

The gay friend knelt down, stroked Luffy's head that had just been hit and said softly: "Little Luffy, can you tell me, old man, where are you going during this time?"
