Chapter 519 - Kabuto vs Garp
Chapter 519 - Kabuto vs Garp
Marineford.
The Gates of Justice slowly opened.
A warship was driven by the ocean current to the port.
Aokiji stood by the window of Akainu’s office, watching the warship stop at the port from a distance. He couldn’t help but scratch his hair and turn to look at Akainu, who was still working hard to read the documents.
“Oh… Sakazuki, it seems that Borsalino has returned.”
“Hmph, he came back at the right time…”
Akainu snorted slowly. He closed the folder in his hand and threw it on the table. He frowned in dissatisfaction, “I just finished processing the documents…”
Akainu put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and walked to the window, “So it looks like that person is here now, right?”
“Yes.”
Aokiji nodded.
In Aokiji and Akainu’s line of sight, they saw Kizaru coming down from the warship with a young man.
The young man seemed to notice the eyes of the two Marine Admirals. He raised his head and narrowed his eyes, showing them a warm smile.
It was Uehara Naraku.
This smile of Uehara…
They can’t help but feel that he must be a good person…
“Let’s go!”
Akainu couldn’t help but clench his fists and said coldly, “I heard that Kabuto and Fleet Admiral Sengoku are waiting for him. What should come is still coming. Let’s go and see what he wants to do in Marineford!”
“Well, it shouldn’t be necessary, right?”
Aokiji scratched his hair and couldn’t help but persuade his colleague, “Sakazuki, if he wants to do something, we can’t stop him, right?”
Yeah…
In fact, they can’t do anything.
When he said this, Aokiji slowly continued, “In this case, it’s better not to see him. It can be considered out of sight and out of mind….”
What Aokiji said…
At first glance, it sounded reasonable.
But this was clearly surrendering to Uehara!
“Kuzan!”
Akainu’s face could not help but darken. A drop of lava fell from his body. He turned around and walked out, “Then you just stay here!”
“Forget it; I will go with you to see…”
Aokiji rubbed his forehead, “I feel that if I don’t go now and something happens, it’s probably going to be difficult to end it…”
In the office of the Marine Fleet Admiral.
When Uehara followed Kizaru in, there were already a few marine higher-ups in this office. They were all waiting for his arrival.
The Marine Fleet Admiral, Sengoku the Buddha.
The Marine Staff Officer, Tsuru and Kabuto.
The Marine Headquarters Admiral, Akainu and Aokiji.
The Marine Vice Admiral, Monkey D. Garp.
After Kizaru sat down, this office already had all the strongest combat forces in the entire Marine.
This formation…
If it were an ordinary marine, they would be scared!
Uehara hurriedly tidied up his marine uniform, took a deep breath, and solemnly saluted.
“Lord Fleet Admiral, SWORD unit member, Marine Captain Uehara Naraku reporting for duty!”
“Cough cough…”
Kabuto covered his lips and coughed a few times. He personally moved a chair over and placed it beside Uehara, “Captain Uehara Naraku, you’ve had a hard journey. Sit down and rest for a while…”
Uehara seemed to be at a loss as he accepted the chair Kabuto provided with a face full of gratitude, “Thank you, Vice Admiral Kabuto.”
“Don’t mention it.”
Kabuto narrowed his eyes and waved his hand with a smile. He smiled and continued to ask, “Do you want to drink some juice? I have prepared a few cups of freshly squeezed juice here…”
“I don’t dare. It’s too troublesome…”
Uehara couldn’t help but reveal a trace of fear.
At this moment, Uehara was a Marine Captain who was inexplicably treated by a Vice Admiral and seemed to be flattered.
When Vice Admiral Tsuru saw this scene, she couldn’t help but show some regret, “Little Kabuto is really still the same when it comes to dealing with people…”
In Marineford, Kabuto was polite to everyone.
If Vice Admiral Tsuru didn’t know what Kabuto had done to please the Five Elder Stars and World Government in the past few years, she might still have a good impression of Kabuto like in the past.
Now…
When Vice Admiral Tsuru saw that Kabuto was so polite to Uehara, the Marine Captain, she was really not used to it. She vaguely felt that Kabuto had bad intentions.
“Captain Uehara Naraku used to be my colleague…”
Kabuto reached out and handed a glass of juice to Uehara. He pushed up his glasses and said with a smile, “And we are old friends who haven’t seen each other for several years… Speaking of which, I really miss it…”
“Does Little Kabuto still remember his old comrade…”
Garp walked to Uehara’s side and slapped him on the shoulder. He laughed and said, “What a spirited little guy!”
This slap…
Its strength was not small!
Uehara quickly tilted his body, his face showing a hint of pain. “Hiss… Vice Admiral Garp… It hurts, it hurts…”
“…”
The expressions of everyone present changed.
The Three Marine Admirals don’t know what expression they should make. Was this Uehara really going to act like this in the Marine Headquarters?
God…
Now he can’t even stand a slap…
It was completely different from his momentum when he pressed an Admiral to the ground and hammered them!
Sengoku looked at Uehara’s painful expression and couldn’t help but frown, “Hey, Garp, what are you doing?”
“Bwahaha… Come get a bag of Senbei! “
After that, Garp didn’t wait for Sengoku to refuse. He picked up the Senbei on Sengoku’s desk and returned to his seat.
“Don’t do unnecessary things…”
Tsuru looked at Garp with blame, then looked at Uehara. She then smiled and said, “He is indeed a very energetic little guy. Kuzan, occasionally you need to learn from others. Don’t always look like you had no energy!”
“…”
Aokiji’s eyebrows shook.
Akainu and Kizaru couldn’t help but lower their heads.
Monkey D. Garp tore open the bag of Senbei in his hand, and his eyes were still staring straight at Uehara, who was still in pain while laughing and eating.
The first time he saw the wanted poster…
Garp once felt that Uehara might be a little dangerous.
At that time, Garp didn’t have a particularly clear feeling. It was just a subconscious intuition at first sight. Later, when Baroque Work robbed Foosha Village, Garp learned from Makino, Hina, and others that Uehara was actually a good person.
Later…
Garp forgot about Uehara…
Now that the two of them finally met here for the first time, Garp remembered this matter and directly slapped Uehara on the shoulder. It seems that Uehara’s reaction was not fake, and his strength does not seem to be dangerous…
“Captain Uehara Naraku, it’s okay…”
Kabuto’s palm was covered with green chakra, and it fell on Uehara’s shoulder. He smiled and said, “Vice Admiral Garp is very powerful; I’ll use my medical ninjutsu. It should not be particularly painful soon…”
“Thank you, Vice Admiral Kabuto.”
Uehara slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Tsuru frowned at this scene and whispered, “Sorry, Captain Uehara, Garp is so reckless. I heard that before you joined the Marine, I would like to thank you for your help with the Foosha Village’s matter…”
“Don’t say that.”
Uehara hurriedly shook his head and said in a deep voice, “My strength is limited, and I only did a small thing. But at that time, I could only barely save some innocent people…”
“Well said.”
Kabuto pushed up his glasses, looked at Garp, and slowly smiled. “It’s just a pity. The grandson of Vice Admiral Garp that Naraku saved, Monkey D. Luffy, has now become a pirate on the sea…”
“What!”
The whole office was suddenly full of shock.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at Garp.
Especially Sengoku, he couldn’t help but look at Garp with anger on his face. He looked at Kabuto and said, “Cough cough… I already know about this matter…”
The Marine hero was still eating Senbei slowly. He saw Sengoku’s eyes, and his eyes were a little erratic. He scratched his head and laughed, “It’s just an ignorant child. Moreover, Luffy hasn’t caused any big trouble yet…”
“Is that so?”
Kabuto shook his head and looked at Garp. He smiled and continued, “But the information I received is that Monkey D. Luffy destroyed East Blue’s Marine Branch. Captain Nezumi reported to me in private, and the situation is very serious…”
When he said this, Kabuto couldn’t help but turn his head and smile, “Lord Fleet Admiral has also received it, right? Monkey D. Luffy’s bounty should be about to be issued soon, right?”
“Mm…”
Sengoku slowly nodded and said in a deep voice, “I have already approved the wanted poster. Straw Hat Luffy’s bounty is 30 million Beli…”
“This number is not enough.”
Kabuto’s face immediately became serious. He said in a deep voice, “According to the information on my side, Monkey D. Luffy’s bounty should be at least 100 million Beli. We should even send a fleet to arrest him.”
“Well… Vice Admiral Kabuto.”
Aokiji sat on the chair and said, “A new pirate from East Blue who has the title of the weakest sea, if we directly offered 100 million bounty, wouldn’t it be a bit of contempt for the dignity of the marine?”
“I’m just planning ahead.”
Kabuto smiled and looked at Aokiji, “Moreover, I have also found out about the past of the Straw Hat Luffy and the red-haired Shanks. Straw Hat Luffy is a very evil seed. If you underestimate him too much, the marine will regret it sooner or later…”
“Hey, hey, hey…”
Vice Admiral Garp couldn’t help but smash the table, and his face couldn’t help but show a layer of anger, “Kabuto, what do you mean? He is the grandson of this old man. He was just temporarily deceived by that red-haired bastard. Do you think that this old man is also an evil pirate?”
“I have never wanted to slander Vice Admiral Garp.”
Kabuto slowly shook his head and looked at Garp, “I’m just taking matters into account with the attitude of being responsible to the World Government and the marine…”
Kabuto pushed up his glasses and continued calmly, “As the commander of the World Government’s spy department, there are some things that we are very clear about. Vice Admiral Garp should also know that once your grandson’s information is revealed…”
“Hmph, my son is a revolutionary!”
Garp couldn’t help but hold his arm and snorted.
“Yes.”
Kabuto smiled and nodded. He continued calmly, “So we have been secretly tracking down Monkey D. Dragon… I believe the result will not disappoint you.”
“…”
Uehara couldn’t help but look at Kabuto.
It seems that Kabuto went undercover in the World Government a little bit hard.
