Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

The overlord of the East Sea shouted loudly towards the front, "Boss Garp! I've brought the person!"

As soon as these words fell.

Bucky:? ? ?

I was completely bewildered again.

Even more bewildered than before, he couldn't help but look up and see the figure casually drinking at the bar.

Navy hero – Vice Admiral Garp!

just.

What did that overlord of the East China Sea just say?

Boss Garp?

Damn it!

Didn't you say you weren't here to see the boss?

So your boss is the naval hero Garp?

No wonder this guy wouldn't talk!

The mastermind behind the dominance of the East China Sea is actually a naval hero?

The East China Sea...it's so dark!

Upon seeing that familiar figure, Bucky jolted awake, seemingly forgetting even his hunger. He quickly lowered his head, intending to shrink away and minimize his presence.

"They're here? Hahaha, did that kid not starve to death?" Lieutenant General Garp's loud laughter rang out.

only.

Immediately afterwards...

Seemingly noticing Bucky's downcast head, Garp blinked, holding a beer in his right hand and stroking his chin with his left, frowning as he stared at Bucky. "Hey kid, lift your head. What's wrong with you? I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"

“…Yeah.”

Oh no, are we going to be discovered?

Just as Bucky looked up, he said with an embarrassed grin, "Um, you've mistaken me for someone else!"

"You're that kid from back then! Hahaha~" Garp, who was staring at Buggy, burst into laughter. "How could I mistake you for someone else? That red-nosed brat who used to be by Roger's side, I never thought you'd be hiding in the East Blue too?"

"Roger? Who's Roger? I'm not..."

"If not, then we'll have to cut it!"

"..."

Knowing he couldn't escape, Buggy looked up with a smirk at Garp, who was squinting at him. "I didn't expect to be recognized!"

"Hahaha!" Seeing Bucky admit it, Garp laughed smugly. "It really was you!"

As he spoke, he looked at Bucky curiously and touched his chin.

"Why are you hanging out with that kid Moke?"

"..."

you ask me?

I had the same question for you!

Upon hearing Garp's words, Buggy cursed inwardly, but looking at Garp stroking his chin with a meaningful gaze and the East Blue Overlord sitting next to the Marine hero drinking, he seemed to understand something.

This guy is forcing me to make a statement!

The backer of the East China Sea overlord is actually a naval hero?

Even a seasoned pirate like him couldn't help but exclaim, "That's really shady!"

That Captain Mok was really something, why didn't he explain things clearly sooner? If he had known earlier that the naval hero was his boss, Bucky...

They surrendered long ago!

only.

If he didn't know this secret, it wouldn't be so bad. With only a 1500 million bounty on his head, he wouldn't die even if he were caught. But now... he knows that he either has to die or he has no choice but to compromise.

Thinking of this, and seeing Vice Admiral Garp stroking his chin and staring at him, Buggy knew he was about to make a statement. He sighed inwardly, "Captain, I'm sorry!" and without hesitation, his legs buckled, and he knelt down. "Boss Garp, if you don't mind, I, Buggy, also want to follow you!"

The words fell.

"Follow me? What do you mean, kid?" Garp, who was holding a wine glass, looked at Buggy with a puzzled expression, then suddenly realized and said, "Oh, you want to join the Marines?"

"???"

Wait, who wants to join the navy?

What does Chapter 99 say?

Buggy was completely bewildered by Garp's words.

Did he say he wanted to join the navy?

His intention was to follow Vice Admiral Garp and work under him, just like the overlord of the East Sea.

If even a simpleton like Moke can become the overlord of the East Blue, then with Buggy's abilities and wisdom, he could at least be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea under Vice Admiral Garp!

Thinking of this, Bucky felt even less embarrassed. He shuddered, raised his head, and looked at Vice Admiral Garp with expectant and longing eyes. "Captain Garp, I want to follow you like Captain Mok!"

"What do you mean, 'follow me'? This kid isn't following me!"

"That's right, I didn't follow Boss Garp!"

"..."

He calls Garp "boss" so naturally, yet he says he doesn't follow him?

These two guys, even after I spotted them, are still pretending?

Do you really think Uncle Bucky is an idiot?

Bucky felt a surge of contempt, especially towards Vice Admiral Garp... He never imagined that the naval hero who used to chase after the captain and shout about justice was actually a hypocritical old man!

Of course, although he thought that way, Bucky would never say it out loud. With a serious look in his eyes, he nodded and said, "I understand! Boss Garp, I want to follow you like that too!"

"You really want to follow me, kid?" Seeing that the kid wasn't joking, Garp laughed heartily while stuffing his mouth with snacks. "That Roger guy's underling actually wants to follow me?"

He seemed to have discovered something interesting, looking at Bucky.

"Are you sure you're telling the truth, kid?"

"Of course!"

Bucky cursed inwardly again, but smiled broadly, head held high, about to pledge his loyalty.

"Haha, let's not talk about that now, I'm on vacation right now!" Garp chuckled and patted Bucky on the shoulder, raising his beer. "It's rare to see an acquaintance, have a drink with me first!"

"Cheers, Garp, boss!"

"..."

Seeing Mok calling him "boss" to his face again, Bucky felt a surge of contempt, but he also raised his hand and said excitedly, "Cheers, Boss Garp! It's my honor to follow Boss Garp!"

Although doing this is very unfair to the captain, but...

I'm sorry, Captain, he just wants to survive!

For a while.

Everyone enjoyed their beer, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Especially for Vice Admiral Garp... suddenly seeing such an "old friend" reminded him of the days when he was chasing Roger, and he felt a little emotional.

Especially after hearing that Roger's former underlings were now shamelessly trying to join his army?

This made him burst into laughter, and he even imagined how shocked Roger and his companions would be if they saw this, laughing so hard that tears were about to fall.

He was even secretly eager to take the kid back with him!

only.

Thinking of his rare vacation, Garp held back. After patting Buggy on the shoulder, he remembered that he had another purpose for coming here. He looked at the bar owner in Windmill Town with a grin and said, "Makino, where's that brat Luffy? I've been back for several days and haven't seen him. Has he already secretly gone to sea?"

“Mr. Garp, Luffy and the others agreed that they wouldn’t set sail until they were 17.” Hearing Garp’s words, Makino, who was wiping her wine glass, looked somewhat helpless. “You’re their grandfather, how could you forget all that?”

As he spoke, he put down the wine glass he had already wiped clean, looking at Mr. Karp, who seemed completely unconcerned about what he had said.

Of course, Makino also understood that Mr. Garp wasn't truly indifferent to Luffy and the others.

She picked up another wine glass and said softly, "Luffy is working on the next island now."

As soon as these words fell.

"???" Garp, who was holding a wine glass, was taken aback and blinked. "Working part-time?"

What the hell?

"The island next door? That kid went out to sea?"

“I already said we haven’t set sail yet!” Makino shook her head, her tone a mix of helplessness and wistfulness. “A while ago, the neighboring island came to the Goa Kingdom to recruit workers, and many people went there.”

Of course, everyone was very scared at first, especially after they heard that the boss behind that group seemed to be a pirate. At first, no one believed it and thought it was a lie.

However, as some people at the uncertain destination became unbearably hungry, they went there and discovered that the guys really weren't lying, so more and more people went over.

"The village chief also went to check it out, and it really is as they said, with food and lodging provided, and wages paid. In the meantime, many people from the Kingdom of Goa have gone there. Haven't you noticed that there are fewer people in Windmill Town? They've all gone there to work."

"Is that so? No wonder so many people seemed to be missing this time. So they went to work? I thought they were all sleeping in!" Garp scratched his head, this action seemed to remind him of something, and he said with a smile, "It seems that kid kept his promise to me."

He downed his beer in one gulp. "So, that brat really went to work?"

"Yes, I heard that I could eat my fill a while ago, so I went along. At first, when Luffy heard that we were going to go to sea, he refused. He always remembered that promise. But after he heard that it wasn't going to sea, but just going out to work and that he would come back every week, and that the village chief said that if he could work and save some money, he might be able to buy his own ship, he happily went along."

Recalling the scene of the village chief coaxing Luffy to go to work, Makino smiled slightly, but then her tone turned worried.

"However, during this period, many civilians have fled into the Kingdom of Goa. I heard that the King and nobles of the Kingdom of Goa are very unhappy. A few days ago, they even brought their guards to cause trouble. Although they were driven back, everyone is still worried that the King of the Kingdom of Goa might send the navy. If that happens, everyone will be out of work!"

"Navy? Don't worry, I am the Navy. If there's anything, let those idiots from the Goa Kingdom come find me!" Hearing Makino's words, Garp patted his chest nonchalantly. "They can't even keep their own people, don't they feel ashamed? Besides, this isn't the Navy's business, ahahaha~"

He let out a hearty laugh.
