Traveler in the Pirate World

A meeting is currently taking place in the magnificent fortress-like building of the Navy Headquarters, Marinford.

"Forty million? Why is the East China Sea a place like that? Who is qualified to receive such a bounty?"

"Compared to this, I am more concerned about this girl. If the rumors are true, her abilities are a bit tricky!"

……

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Garp, who usually didn't pay much attention to political affairs, strode in, glanced at everyone, and took away the bounty on Lily, "Don't worry about this girl, I will negotiate with Zhan Guo and the others."

Among the vice admirals in charge of setting pirate bounties, Colades, who was already dissatisfied with Garp's daily behavior, slammed the table angrily, "Monkey D. Lily? Monkey D. Luffy? Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp, I think compared to those, you should explain this first!"

Garp glanced at him, then slowly strode forward and grabbed Koledes' head. "You don't need to question the justice of this old man. And next time before you talk to me like this, look at your fist first, idiot!"

Cap was in a bad mood. When Bogart came to inform him of the news, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. Fortunately, the reward was still under negotiation.

Luffy was not mentioned first, he was planning to become a pirate, Garp would not interfere. But Lily was different. Not to mention Lily's strength and talent, Lily just wanted to travel around, and she hadn't done anything bad, so Garp couldn't accept the idea of ​​arresting Lily.

Cap slapped Koledes to the ground, and the wine and food in front of him scattered all over the floor. Without paying attention to the dissatisfaction of the crowd, Cap left.

Not long after, Vice Admiral Tsuru and the three admirals of the navy gathered in Sengoku's office.

"Garp, you should say something!" Sengoku looked at Garp who was eating senbei angrily, with confusion in his eyes. Although Garp was not reasonable, there were some things he would not do.

Garp carefully put the senbei made by Lily into his space bag and said seriously, "I have no objection to Luffy being rewarded, but not Lily. Unless I have no choice, I will never agree to Lily being defined as a pirate. You don't even know what that means."

"Bang!" Sakaski slammed the table and stood up, staring at Karp. "What does that mean? Does it mean that she is your granddaughter? Karp, you are being partial."

Garp looked at the furious Sakaski, sighed and said, "Lily is different. I don't want any of us here to confront her alone, including myself. That means there is no possibility of victory."

Hearing Garp's words, everyone present could not help but be stunned. After Kuzan was silent for a moment, he crossed his hands and supported his chin, and asked in a deep voice: "Lily, is this the girl you picked up that year?"

"Yes." This serious look was probably one of the rare times that Karp looked serious.

"I'm very curious about what made you come to such a conclusion." Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Garp curiously and asked.

"I hope you're the only ones who know these things!" A golden flame rose from the ring on the index finger of Garp's right hand, and there was danger in his eyes.

Seeing Garp getting younger at a speed visible to the naked eye and finally returning to his youthful appearance, the expressions of Sengoku and others suddenly changed.

"You ate the devil fruit?!" Sengoku and Hezuru couldn't help but exclaim.

Borsalino patted his chest and kept saying "Terrible!" But the look in his eyes did not show an indifferent attitude, but rather it was really terrible.

"No!" Karp said calmly, "This is just one of the powers from Lily!"

Walking to the window, his terrifying Observation Haki spread out, covering the entire Marinford. Ignoring everyone's shock, Garp continued, "Lily is not an ordinary child. Genius is not enough to describe Lily's talent. I don't know how powerful she is now, but I know that we have no chance of winning against Lily, not even a single chance."

Looking towards the sea and the fleet of warships parked in the port, Karp's eyes were deep.

"How can people believe such nonsense based on your one-sided statement?" Sakaski questioned.

Karp turned around and looked at him. After a moment's silence, he said, "This kind of words is indeed hard to accept, but it is the truth, because Lily is the child I raised. Even so, even I can't see the extent of her terrifying talent!"

Yes, if in the first few years, Karp could still clearly feel the changes in Lily's body, but as time went on, Karp found that Lily's physical strength was still getting stronger at a speed he could not understand, even to the point of being horrifyingly stronger every day, until he could not feel anything.

"Besides, Lily is not a devil fruit user!" Garp once again said something that surprised everyone.

Lily always says that she is the holder of the Snow Girl Fruit, but Garp, who helped Lily take a bath when she was a child, knows better than anyone that such concealing words are said to outsiders.

"This is impossible!" Sengoku stood up suddenly and looked at Garp, "What is that huge ring-shaped iceberg that used a space-replacement ability when facing Mihawk?"

"I don't know. Lily is beyond common sense. Sometimes I wonder if Lily is not a mortal!" Garp sat back on his recliner and ate senbei, returning to his lazy look. "I've said everything I know. It's up to you to decide. Besides, Lily didn't do anything bad. She's not a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. It's not a big deal for her to meet her brother, Dahai."

Sengoku looked at Garp with a headache, then turned to look at Kuzan, "You are the only one among us who has had any contact with that girl. Tell me what you think!"

Kuzan was silent. He carefully recalled the details of that year, but it was too long ago and he couldn't think clearly for a moment. Suddenly he thought of the chat between Bogart and Garp, "Haha, our Lily was shy when she took a bath. She was so small, but she was quite strong."

"Oh, it seems my Lily is much stronger than yesterday. Hahaha, could it be that my granddaughter is a genius?" Karp, who was wrestling with Lily with his fingers, laughed.

I still remember that I poked the little girl's face, and she slapped me on the back of her hand in disgust. The strength of that slap was not what a baby should have.

……

"What Vice Admiral Garp said might be true!" Kuzan nodded. "That girl does have incredible talent. At the time, I thought it was just a result of the child's rapid physical development, but now it seems that's not the case!"

"Then let's temporarily put aside the bounty on Monkey D. Lily, but I don't want her to do anything that goes against justice, otherwise there will be no room for negotiation on the next bounty." Sengoku looked at Garp seriously.

Garp didn't say anything, but continued to eat senbei. Lily would probably not do anything evil, but the justice of the navy sometimes could not be justice.

Looking up at the ceiling, Karp laughed and nodded, "Hahaha, next time I won't come to you to argue about this kind of thing. It's too taxing."

After Aokiji and the others left, Sengoku roared angrily: "Garp, look at what you have done. Knowing that she is such a genius, why didn't you bring her here!"

Garp didn't even look at him, and continued to eat his senbei, muttering, "You know why better than me. Some things are enough to experience once!"

Zhan Guo was silent. He also looked up at the ceiling, but his eyes seemed to penetrate the floor with exquisite patterns and looked further away. "Yes, we all know what's going on!"
