One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

It can be said that Ah Long's evil deeds were tacitly approved by the government.

Garp spat in annoyance, pointed in the direction of the uncertain final destination, and asked, "Do you know how many pirates are entrenched over there?"

"."

Loya frowned.

He had specifically looked into the situation regarding the uncertain final destination.

Garbage, criminals, disease

Everything that was no longer needed was left there by the Kingdom of Goa, including humans; it was a true lawless zone.

There are at least dozens of pirate, bandit, and gang groups entrenched there. Kind people, upon reaching an uncertain final destination, are either assimilated or torn apart.

"My power is limited."

Garp sighed helplessly.

“I’ve been to stations with uncertain destinations, trying to save the people there, but no matter how many times I tried, it was no use.”

"After one wave of pirates is eliminated, another wave will soon appear. It's an endless cycle, and this situation has been going on for decades, even centuries."

"Can you understand?"

Loya nodded slowly.

Of course he understands.

Ultimately, it was the policies of the Goa Kingdom, the greed of the royal family and nobles, and the terrible state of the world that led to the birth of the uncertain final destination.

Killing pirates alone is useless.

And there are countless places with uncertain final destinations!

"As for the evil deeds of the Arlong Pirates, I really want to help you, but for some reason, I can't do anything about it."

Karp stared at Loya.

"Besides, even if I wipe out the Arlong Pirates, pirates will soon emerge to replace them, so I can't stay in the East Blue forever."

"The only people who can protect this sea area are you who have been stationed in the East China Sea for a long time. This is the responsibility you bear."

“Loya, you may think that the Arlong Pirates are incredibly powerful and difficult to defeat, but I believe that before long, an excellent Marine will appear in the East Blue who can defeat the Arlong Pirates. I hope that person is you.”

"Justice always faces challenges, but justice will never lose to evil!"

Garp turned and left.

Loya remained silent for a long time.

He knew what Garp was worried about.

Jinpei, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

As one of the three major powers, the Seven Warlords of the Sea have an alliance agreement with the government. The government can summon the Seven Warlords to fight, but at the same time, the government cannot attack the Seven Warlords. Arlong is Jinbe's subordinate.

Even Garp shouldn't act recklessly.

As for Ah Long's crimes, that's just his side of the story. It will take a long time to investigate thoroughly.

Another point is that, perhaps in the eyes of those higher-ups, the minor harm caused by the Arlong Pirates is not worth jeopardizing their relationship with Jinbe.

From a broader perspective, Jinbe is the most loyal Shichibukai, and his efforts are indeed more valuable than dealing with the Arlong Pirates.

But we can't measure everything solely by "interests," because the consequence of repeated compromises is that we can't stand up again.

This is really annoying!

Loya's gaze was cold.

"I'm going to take down the Arlong Pirates!"

"Even Jinbe can't stop them!"

Chapter 52 Young people should be full of vigor

Holidays are always too short.

Just after the New Year, Garp was urged to return to headquarters by Sengoku's phone call, leaving a group of children weeping.

It's so good to be alive!

"It's time for us to go back."

At the port, Loya bids farewell to Ace.

Ace smiled and waved: "Loya, next spring I'll set sail and become a free pirate. I'll come find you then, and we'll have another fight!"

"Ace, I'm a Marine."

Loya was exasperated and warned, "If you become a pirate, I will put you in jail without any mercy."

"Who will you catch?!"

Set sail and embark on your journey.

Loya stood on the deck, watching the windmill village recede into the distance.

Although I didn't learn the Six Powers I'd been longing for during this visit to Garp, I still gained a lot, especially mastering the invincible Iron Body.

No, it's domineering!

There's no need to rush with the Six Styles. According to Garp, once he's promoted to branch colonel, he'll naturally be able to learn the training methods for the Six Styles.

Whether one can master the Six Styles depends on their own talent.

Even officers at headquarters can usually only learn one or two techniques; those who can master all six are geniuses.

One day later, Branch 153.

Colonel's office.

Rod sighed reluctantly.

"You always surprise me."

"I'm sorry, Colonel."

Loya felt somewhat guilty.

Just now, he submitted his application to Colonel Rhodes.

He's to be assigned to a post in Rogge Town!

He wiped out the pirates near Branch 153; they won't pose a threat anytime soon, so staying at the branch is practically like retiring.

It's too comfortable.

He's still young and wants to go out and explore!

Loguetown is the last stop on the way to the Grand Line, and while it carries great responsibility, it is also the most dangerous of all the branches in the East Blue.

The execution of Gol D. Roger in Loguetown gave the town a very special place in the hearts of pirates.

It represents both the beginning and the end!

Many pirates from other seas will deliberately make a detour to Loguetown to pay their respects at the execution platform when heading to the Grand Line.

Some well-known pirates also often go to Loguetown to reminisce about their early days as rookies.

In short, it's not surprising that any important figure would appear in Loguetown.

In the terrible situation where the atmosphere of pirates is extremely strong, the challenges faced by the Marines stationed in Loguetown are a hundred or a thousand times greater than those of other branches.

Another point is that Rogge Town is not far from Cocosia Village!

Rod said with a dark face, "You brat, I'll apply to my superiors, but whether it'll be approved is another matter."

"Thank you, Colonel!"

"Go ahead, don't go on any missions during this time."

"Yes."

Loya left gratefully.

Wait until the door is closed.

Rod's stern face relaxed, and he shook his head and smiled helplessly.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't upset that such a talented junior I had worked so hard to nurture was suddenly leaving.

However, he was also very pleased.

Rhodes knew very well that Loya had a much larger stage than him, and Branch 153 was just Loya's starting point.

It's good to go out and explore the world sooner rather than later.

Given Loya's outstanding performance, the higher-ups should not refuse. Compared to Branch 153, Loguetown needs a strong leader to oversee it.

"It's time for me to retire!"

Rhodes touched his empty left arm. In his current physical condition, it would be difficult for him to fight pirates again, and he was also getting old. It was time to hand over the reins to the newcomers.

I'll apply for retirement after Loya leaves.
