Chapter 569
It Won’t Be Good If You Don’t Rest for a Few Years
Five days later.
Sabaody Archipelago.
Temporary Marine Base.
Area 60 is the area of the World Government and Marine. Kuro’s own Marine station is in 66GR, which is now in ruins and has not been repaired.
But the other GRs could still be used, so he found a temporary place and stayed there.
At this time, in the office, Sentomaru faced Kuro, who was lying on the ground and said, “Brother Kuro, Headquarters wants you to go over and report about Rayleigh.”
“Huh?”
Kuro did not even raise his head and just lay there. “Report what? How did Headquarters know? Didn’t I not let you say it?”
“No…”
Sentomaru shook his head. “It should be Garp.”
“He went back?”
“Yes, it was picked up by his flagship three days ago.”
Garp did not come in his exclusive flagship, and Kuro did not know how he got on this island.
Perhaps he really wanted to send her off from afar and came to Sabaody Archipelago very early.
“Are we going back…”
Kuro pondered for a while and waved his hand. “Riley doesn’t need to report. He either disappeared or died. I won’t go to Headquarters. Just say that I’m seriously injured and I need to rest after fighting Riley. I won’t be able to go anywhere without a few years of rest.”
‘Heavily injured?’
Sentomaru looked at Kuro’s body that was not even broken and couldn’t help but purse his lips.
Where is he hurt?
‘And the injuries?’
“I understand, Brother Kuro, I will report this.”
Sentomaru nodded and turned to leave.
Kuro was left alone there.
If I can avoid it, why should I?
Do you have nothing to do? Then you might as well lie here.
The current Sabaody Archipelago is absolutely peaceful.
The Troublemakers have already left, and the threat on the island has been withdrawn. Even if the pirates gather once a year, it will be a small problem.
If he could, he could garrison Sabaody until he was old.
Injury is a very good excuse.
According to the compromise theory, if you want to complete the time limit you want, you will definitely get a discount. If you want to stay for a year, you may only have a few months.
It would take a few months, maybe only a month.
In that case, Kuro might as well bring up the days. He has to recuperate for a few years, which may take a year or so.
According to the current situation of the New World, everything might become clear in a year.
Even if there isn’t, staying here for a year is very comfortable.
… .
At this moment, in the new headquarters.
The Kobold Ship docked at the port.
Garp came down with Kirby and Berulemeber and walked forward.
He had been picked up by Kirby and Beru Merber. When he heard that the Straw Hats had sailed in Sabaody Archipelago and escaped from Kuro, Kirby was relieved.
Logically speaking, as a Marine, he should not be like this. He was ashamed of this.
However, he was inexplicably relieved.
“Karp!”
In front of the port, a voice interrupted Kirby’s thoughts. He looked forward and saw an old man with white hair and beard standing there with his hands in his pockets, wearing a Marine cape. The breeze blew his long braided beard.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
No, Grand Governor of Sengoku.
Ever since he retired, his face, which was funny from time to time, was now rare serious.
“Sengoku, hahaha, are you waiting for me?” Garp laughed.
“Karp, you have to know what you did.”
Sengoku gritted his teeth and said, “As a Marine, why did you do that kind of thing? If you did it, why did you report it yourself?”
“This old man is either Marine or Grandpa!”
Garp laughed and said, “It doesn’t matter if Grandpa sends a line for his grandson.”
“Whatever, as long as you are willing to pay the price!”
Sengoku snorted and walked side by side with Garp towards the largest building in Headquarters.
The cloak behind him fluttered, and there was no longer the [Justice] symbol, but the words [Retreating].
At the top of the building, two people were staring at the two figures gradually coming from the port.
Sakasugi clenched his fist and a fiery red color appeared. He bit his cigar and snorted. “That old man actually did this. What does he take justice for?!”
“Oh, I think it’s normal.”
Kizaru held a teacup and looked down. He chuckled and said, “After all, it’s Mr. Garp. It’s not strange to do this.”
“As long as you are a pirate, you should eliminate all evil, no matter the price!”
Sakasugi said in a deep voice: “After all, he is old. The heart of an old man cannot accommodate pure justice!”
Kizaru shrugged and thought for a moment and said, “Is Kuro blocked by Rayleigh? That man is indeed a little troublesome, but he has made some achievements. Compared to the Straw Hat Gang, this result is still satisfactory.”
The higher-ups care about the straw hat?
I can’t say that I don’t care at all, but my focus is definitely not on this.
What they care about is the Shichibukai, the Yonkō (Four Emperors) and those big pirates who are still wandering in the New World under the pressure of Yonkō (Four Emperors) and their strength is only high!
Reilly’s life and death aside, according to the report of Sentomaru, Reilly is missing an arm and a leg, which is no different from death for Marines.
With such a huge victory, they could ignore the Straw Hats.
However, Garp insisted on reporting this matter and took the initiative to explain. As a Marshal, Sakasugi would naturally accept it.
“Let’s see how he explains it!”
Sakasugi said something and suddenly a smile appeared on his face. “Kuro is a lot less troublesome in comparison. His station in the New World has not been decided. What do you think, Polusalino?”
“I don’t know, you are the Marshal, but… if there is a good starting point, I think Kuro will be much easier.”
Kizaru stared down at Karp and said, “Isn’t that a good reason?”
Garp originally wanted to retire, but he was stopped by Commander-in-Chief Kong. He was in charge of teaching new recruits and also received the title of Vice-Admiral. Moreover, his station was not handed over.
G-3 branch located in New World.
There is the base of Garp.
Headquarters has not issued the order for Kuro to go to the New World for a long time because the territory cannot be divided.
The birth of a Vice-Admiral is either to take over the original faction or start a new one.
Now that Kizaru has not retreated, there is a new Vice-Admiral in the faction, and he is an elite general candidate. Naturally, it is not internal digestion, but expansion of the faction.
But everyone covered their plates tightly, so there was no gap to put them out.
A smaller Marine station. Not to mention whether Kuro is willing, his faction is definitely unwilling.
However, it would be meaningless for Kuro to occupy the encampment of the Kizaru Sect.
Sakasugi could ignore these things when he was a general in the past, but when he became a Marshal, he had to consider something.
But now, it solved his problem.
Garp’s G-3 could be handed over.
However, what was the most important reason for him to hand it over willingly?
If this old man is unwilling, there is nothing they can do.
