I, Whisperer, Admiral

Chapter 281 Garp: I never expected it

On the second day after seeing off Reiju and Dezaya, Seti sailed into the calm zone with Smoker on Smoker's warship.

"Ser, Mr. Sett, well, fishing in the dead zone can be very dangerous."

On the warship, Da Siqi pushed his glasses, and spoke to Seti timidly.

Smoker and Seti often walked in the calm zone when they were in the elite camp in the early years, so they were very calm, even a little bored. Only Dashiqi, who had never been in the calm zone, was very nervous.

Especially when she heard that the bottom of the windless belt is full of Neptunes that can swallow a warship whole, this tension became even stronger.

"Well, it doesn't matter. I have caught fish many times in the calm zone, and most sea kings are unwilling to take the bait."

Sett pulled the fishing rod up and down, "I look like an old driver".

Smoker, who had been concentrating on manipulating the smoke, also said at this time:

"Let him go, Da Siqi, I wish he could catch a sea king."

Obviously, after being instructed by Sett to develop a new way to play the smoke fruit, now Smoker wants to find some powerful opponents to touch every moment.

Da Siqi looked at Seti, then at Smoker next to him, and finally could only silently shrink back to the corner and draw a circle.

No wind brings great danger, Mom, I want to go back to the East China Sea...

…………

In fact, the warship could directly take the windless zone to Malinfando, but Dusqi always felt that if he stayed in the windless zone, sooner or later, he would be taken to the ditch by these two troublemakers.

Therefore, after hearing that the warship was able to reach the great route, she kept talking about something like "I have never seen the scenery of the great route, and I want to see more of the scenery of the great route before arriving at Marin Fando".

As the captain, Smoker didn't want Aokiji and other high-ranking navy officials to see him as "untransformed". Therefore, with Dusqi's unremitting efforts, Smoker finally made up his mind to change the course and let the warship We chose a nearby island to land on.

After sending the sailors on board to take charge of supplies, the three of Seti also disembarked and found a restaurant to have a sumptuous dinner.

After drinking and eating, Smoker thought for a while, found out the phone bug and dialed a number.

Boo boo boo boo...

The phone rang for a while before someone picked it up. The moment the call was connected, the originally energetic phone bug suddenly turned into a dead fish eye:

"Ah la la, it's Smoker. It seems that you haven't contacted me for a long time."

Although the voice would become a little distorted through the phone bug, Seti recognized it immediately. The guy on the other end of the phone was "Aokiji" Kuzan, one of the three active generals.

"Yeah, I haven't contacted you for a while..."

After reminiscing for a while, Smoker said straight to the point:
"Kuzan, I want to catch a pirate before going to Marlin Fandor, and I need you to provide me with some information."

Just like Tina rarely uses honorifics when addressing these high-ranking naval officials, Smoker, who is also a troubled boy, calls Aokiji by his first name.

Qingzhi didn't care about it, and after pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said:

"Well, tell me, whose intelligence is he going to investigate? Is he on the great route now?"

"Monkey D. Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, if there is no accident, he should have just arrived on the great route not long ago."

"Monkey D..."

Unlike Smoker's slowness, Aokiji, who had stayed under Garp for a long time, quickly thought of Garp. Without any other prompting, he realized that the Luffy in Smoker's mouth should be Garp. Lieutenant General Pu's grandson.

Although he had realized that Luffy was the grandson of Lieutenant General Garp, Aokiji did not say anything and did not think of telling Smoker the news. It may also be because he felt that a colonel like Smoker had little chance of catching him. Karp's grandson.

"I understand. If the intelligence department is efficient enough, there should be news tonight."

Although Qingzhi was a lazy person, his efficiency was surprisingly high. That night, he called again.

"I found it. The Navy's latest record of the Straw Hat Pirates is Whiskey Peak. Those guys made a lot of noise there."

"Whiskey Mountain?" Smoker said this place, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"It's the gathering place for bounty hunters in the first half of the great route, and it's also a branch of Baroque Works."

Sett interrupted on a whim.

"Huh? This voice is..."

"It's Sett, and he's with me now."

Sett?

The green pheasant on the other end of the phone tilted his head, wondering why Seti didn't wait for the G8 branch and instead got together with Smoker.

Just when he wanted to ask about the specific situation, Smoker on the other side of the phone said thank you and hung up the phone with a click.

After hanging up the phone, he turned to Da Siqi and said:

"Dasqi, go find out where the headquarters of this Baroque Working Group is. If possible, it would be best to capture one or two of the more important members."

Sett looked at Smoker, whose eyes were faintly shining, with a smile flashing in his eyes, and he should see a good show in Alabasta next.

I have the impression that Ace will also appear there, should I inform Iska in advance now?
…………

At the same time that Smog organized Da Siqi to inquire about the news, in a residence in Marlin Fondo, Aokiji rubbed his chin after putting down the handset of the phone bug.

How did Sett get together with Smoker?

Maybe it's been too long since I met Smoker. Speaking of which, it's unbelievable that that guy can honestly stay silent in the G8 branch for two years.

(Because Karp specifically suppressed Seti and killed the Golden Lion, now only Karp, Zefa, Sengoku and Crane know about this in the Navy)
Forget it, it's better not to think about this. The person Smoker wants to arrest is Mr. Karp's grandson after all. He still needs to inform Mr. Karp of this matter in advance.

With this thought in mind, Aokiji left his home and went straight to Garp's residence.

Karp was eating donuts and admiring Bogart's "torturing" Keby and Beru Meber. When he saw Aokiji approaching, he couldn't help showing a smile and said to Aokiji:
"Hey, why did you come here today, did you miss my donuts?"

Aokiji smiled and waved his hands to reject the donuts offered by Garp, and then said:

"That's right, Mr. Garp, I just received news that Smoker has returned to the Great Route..."

"Smog? Oh, that kid who turns into smoke."

Garp was stunned for a moment before he remembered who Smoker was. He opened his mouth and threw most of the donut into his mouth. Garp chewed it for several times before saying vaguely:

"As for that kid's application to return to the Great Route, didn't the Warring States have already passed it?"

"You are right, but what I want to say is not this matter, Mr. Garp, Smoker just called me and asked me to help inquire about Monkey D. Luffy. It seems that he is I'm going to start capturing the Straw Hat Pirates."

Hearing his grandson's name, Karp's donut chewing speed slowed down a bit:
"Luffy? My idiot grandson has reached the great route?"

Cap blinked, looking in disbelief.

In his impression, although Luffy clamored to become a pirate every day, he didn't know anything about sea navigation.

He previously thought that Luffy would stay in the East China Sea for at least half a year before heading towards the great route. Why is it only a month or so before he returns to Marin Fandor, and this bastard has already run to the great route? coming.

"Yes, in fact, it was because of Luffy's forced entry that Smoker decided to return to the Great Route. When he called me, he and Sett had already met. When I called, Sett It's next to him...

One, Mr. Garp, regarding the fact that Luffy is your grandson, it is best not to mention it as much as possible in Marin Fando. "

After talking about the general situation, Aokiji thought about it and reminded Garp.

The grandson of a naval hero became a pirate. This kind of thing is a huge scandal no matter how you look at it. It's better not to let too many people know about this kind of thing.

Aoki just reminded Garp, but he didn't expect that Garp stood up in the next second, looking a little scratching his head.

Aokiji was taken aback by Garp's sudden move, and stammered:

"Mr. Garp, I'm just reminding you. In fact, in your capacity, even if this kind of thing is exposed, it won't affect you."

"I know."

Garp nodded, indicating that he knew everything, but he still seemed a little absent-minded.

What he cares about is not the matter about Luffy in the second half of the sentence, but the Sett mentioned in the first half of the sentence!

Kuzan just said that Sett was on the sidelines when he was talking to Smoker. Doesn't that mean that Sett has reached the great route at this time? !
Damn, I was careless. I thought that letting Seti stay in the East China Sea to take care of Luffy would at least allow him to stay in the East China Sea for about half a year. As a result, only one month has passed, and Seti has already returned to the great route.

What should I do? The matter on my side has not been resolved. Seti only told Warring States and a few other people about killing the Golden Lion.

If Seti came back to the Great Route and found that instead of being a lieutenant general and a general candidate, he was transferred to the new world as a "major general" by the world government, wouldn't he hate himself?

Anything else can happen, except Sett can't be dissatisfied with himself and the navy.

Capuk was still thinking about Sett's miraculous healing method.

With that in mind, Karp calmed down and said to Aokiji:

"Kuzan, thank you very much for coming here to tell me about Luffy. I will pay attention to this matter next time. By the way, I suddenly remembered that the Warring States Period still has something to do with me, and I have to go there , so I'll go first!"

After saying this, Garp hurriedly strode towards the direction of the marshal's office, leaving Aokiji alone to look at Garp's back with a bewildered expression.

I always feel that my old officer is acting weird in everything today. Does he care too much about his grandson?
…………

Garp galloped all the way, rushing into Sengoku's office like a gust of wind.

Sengoku is staying up all night to approve documents at this time, because of the matter of the Whitebeard Pirates, the whole sea seems a little restless now, and the workload of Sengoku has increased sharply in recent days.

"Don't look at those broken documents, something big happened."

As soon as he entered the door, Garp threw the documents in Sengoku's hands aside.

Warring States frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Garp, what are you doing? You are so old and you are still as frizzy as you were when you were young."

At this time, Garp was not even in the mood to argue with Sengoku, and said directly to him:

"Sett has returned to the Great Route."

Hearing Sett's name, the hand holding the pen in the Warring States Period couldn't help but pause:
"Didn't you say before that you had used a brilliant plan to place Seti in the East China Sea? You also said that you would definitely prevent him from returning to the Grand Route until this storm was over. Why did you suddenly say that Seti returned to the Great Line? Passage?"

Hearing the inquiry from the Warring States Period, Garp couldn't help but look embarrassed, but his skin is thick enough, so he casually fooled it:

"Oh, isn't this... the plan can't keep up with the changes quickly? Don't you and Ah He often talk about it, God, man, etc."

This old friend of the Warring States Period had no choice but to turn to his men and say:
"Go and invite Lieutenant General He and Chief Instructor Zefa over."

A moment later, Zefa and Lieutenant General He arrived at the Marshal's Office in the Warring States Period.

"What's wrong this late at night? We old bones are suddenly called here."

Lieutenant General He thought it was the Warring States that called them over.

After taking a sip of tea, Warring States glanced sideways at Garp and said:

"Say it yourself, and tell me all the brilliant tricks you have been hiding all along."

After Garp smiled sheepishly, he told the whole story in a low voice.

After listening to Garp's "great idea", Sengoku and Lieutenant General He were speechless.

There are so many uncertain factors, but I still feel that my plan is perfect... Oh, it was Garp who thought of it, so that's okay.

"Now is not the time to laugh at Karp, let's think about how to fix things."

After all, Lieutenant General He still knew how to love others, seeing that his old friend was losing face, he changed the topic by saying:
"The most urgent thing now is how to arrange Sett. In addition, should the news of his promotion be announced."

Although He is a naval staff officer, he has no right to make decisions after all. After a simple analysis of interests, he finally set his sights on the three old friends in the room.

She is only responsible for analyzing the situation, and how to make a decision depends on what the three old friends think.

The moment Crane Chujiang said the words, Zefa who was sitting on the side spoke bluntly:

"If you want me to say, there is nothing to hesitate about this matter, just follow the usual procedures."

　Regarding the plot of the Straw Hats on the Grand Line, Coconut Juice does not plan to write too much. After all, the protagonist is not with the ship. The plan is to only participate in the plot of Alabasta and the Seven Waters, but it will not be in the Straw Hats. There is too much writing about the whole group, and after these two plots, it is directly on top of the war.
