One Piece: Three Fruits, Starting with the Dark-Dark Fruit

However, no matter how excited Garp was this time, he could not change the final result. He could rely on his seniority and merits to do some willful things, but Long could not.

Kong was helpless and could only comfort him.

"Garp, calm down. This escort is actually pretty good. You see, the commander-in-chief is Jiger. Are you still worried about him being around?"

As he spoke, Kong glanced at Jiger, who smiled slightly but said nothing.

Zhan Guo folded his arms and nodded, saying in a deep voice,

"In previous years, the escort work was always carried out by CP9's general commander. Since this position was given to our navy this time, it means that our navy's position is even more important in the World Government."

After hearing this, Kong looked at Zhan Guo with approval, thinking that he is worthy of being the successor I have chosen.

Tsuru continued with what Sengoku said.

"In that case, we must seize this opportunity. Perhaps our navy will gain more say in the World Government."

After saying that, a hint of apology appeared in Sengoku and Tsuru's eyes when they looked at Garp.

Karp didn't want to think about so many twists and turns. He only saw one thing, which was that his two old friends probably wouldn't help him this time.

But he still didn't give up, and said angrily,

"I don't think they have any good intentions! Just those celestial dragons..."

"enough!"

Kong's expression changed, and he slammed his hand heavily on the table, scolding,

"Garp! Have you forgotten your identity? What are you carrying?!"

Garp clenched his fists tightly, and He beside him reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes, shaking his head slightly.

"Ugh!"

With a heavy sigh, Garp sat back in his chair dejectedly.

Sora ignored him and asked Jiger who had been silent.

"Ji Ge, this mission is very important. You must be careful and don't let Tian Shang Jin get into trouble!"

Jiger said solemnly,

"Don't worry, Marshal Kong. I will definitely deliver Tianshang Jin safely to Mary Geoise."

Compared with Garp, Jiger's performance seemed much more worry-free. Sora nodded in satisfaction and said,

"Then it's up to you!"

Jiger had a serious look on his face, but he felt a little funny in his heart.

To him, the gold in the sky was his own property. To put it bluntly, he was going there to collect rent.

Then Sora mentioned some more things to note. Just as the meeting was about to end, Garp suddenly said,

"Let me go this time too!"

"kindness?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Sora frowned and asked,

"Karp, stop making trouble. What are you going to do?"

"This is Long's first time participating in such an important mission. As a father, I want to accompany him. Is that not okay?"

Ziger narrowed his eyes. If Garp really got involved, it would definitely hinder his actions.

Thinking of this, he immediately said,

"Vice Admiral Garp, isn't my presence enough? Are you questioning my ability?"

These words already had a hint of tension. The others looked at each other in bewilderment. In their impression, Giger had always been very kind to his colleagues. This was the first time they saw him being so tough.

But think about it, after all, Zieger has just taken office as admiral not long ago, and he is so young, so what Garp said can easily lead to misunderstanding.

Karp knew he was in the wrong, and his tone softened unusually.

"Don't get me wrong, Jig. I'm not questioning your ability. I'm just worried about Long."

"Oh? Dragon's strength is no weaker than that of an ordinary vice admiral. I wonder what Vice Admiral Garp is worried about?"

Garp looked embarrassed. He couldn't say that there was something wrong with Long's thinking, could he? This couldn't be made public!

He thought for a long time and finally said,

"This kid has been acting a little weird lately, and I'm afraid he'll do something stupid, so I want to follow him."

After saying that, he followed up with another sentence,

"So please let me go with you, I will never interfere with any of your instructions!"

This time, without waiting for Jiger's response, Sora said directly,

"Of course, Jiger is the commander-in-chief, and his current rank is general!"

When talking about the word "admiral", Kong deliberately emphasized the tone, obviously referring to Garp.

However, Garp simply ignored it. He would never become the admiral!

Zhan Guo glanced at Garp and said,

"I think we can let Garp go. This will also allow the World Government to see our attitude."

Crane nodded and agreed,

"Well, Garp's reputation in the World Government is not very good. This time he took the initiative to ask to participate in the escort mission. I think it will also ease the relationship between the two parties."

Sengoku and Tsuru felt a little guilty for not speaking up for Garp just now, so they obviously wanted to make up for it this time.

Zefa was a little unhappy and said,

"But this is Jiger's mission, I don't think this is appropriate!"

Jiger reached out and touched the corner of Zefa's clothes, and said softly,

"Teacher Zephyr, forget it. Since Vice Admiral Garp wants to go, let him go."

Zefa was still a little indignant. Ziger was his most proud student. At this time, as a teacher, he naturally had to speak for his student.

Jiger smiled and patted Zephyr's hand on his knee, then looked at Sora and said,

"Marshal Sora, I agree to allow Vice Admiral Garp to join this mission."

As soon as these words were spoken, Kong heaved a sigh of relief, and there was actually a hint of gratitude in his eyes when he looked towards Jiger.

To be honest, he, the boss, has the most difficult situation in this conference room.

Everyone present here is an absolute backbone, and he really doesn't want to offend any party. Jige has solved a big problem for him.

Karp's eyes lit up, but before he could be happy for a while, Jiger said lightly,

"But I want to make it clear in advance that if anyone disobeys my orders during the mission, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Cap paused for a moment, then immediately agreed. Others didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and just thought that Jiger was trying to save face.

In everyone's opinion, Giger had made concessions on his own initiative, so there was nothing wrong with saying some harsh words.

Besides, no one thought that anyone would disobey orders during this mission. Although Garp was usually not very reasonable, since he had already made the guarantee, there shouldn't be any problem.

After Jiger finished speaking, his usual smile appeared on his face again and he sat back in his chair.

The following meetings went smoothly. Kong also wanted to end the meeting quickly to prevent Garp from causing any more trouble, so he made some final personnel deployment and then disbanded the meeting.

Before leaving, Karp thanked Jiger with a smile.
