Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 223 Garp's Fury

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

A loud bang suddenly came from the office of the Warring States Master, startling a navy man who happened to be passing by so much that he almost fell to the ground.

Bang! ! !

Garp slammed his hand on Sengoku's desk. The high-quality mahogany table, which had been used for less than a year, immediately cracked in the middle and creaked as it fell to either side.

"Sengoku! Goku is a promising newcomer to the Navy that we all have high hopes for! Just because those people in the World Government did such a lousy thing, are they going to put such an excellent newcomer on the opposite side of us?!"

Garp glared angrily at Sengoku, his spittle almost flying into the other's face.

Zhan Guo looked very unhappy. Anyone would feel extremely bad if their precious table, which they were using perfectly well, was smashed by someone's palm.

Normally, he would definitely be cursing at Garp right now.

But now, he unusually didn't lose his temper. He tried his best to calm himself down and even tried to persuade Garp in a gentle tone: "Garp, calm down first, let's talk things out."

Seeing that his old friend had stopped flying into a rage, Sengoku took a deep breath and said slowly, "Garp, I understand how you feel. Goku is indeed worth nurturing. If everything goes smoothly, I think he will become an excellent Marine in the future."

Karp remained silent, sat down on the sofa, and waited for him to finish speaking.

"but-

""

As expected, the "but" came.

Zhan Guo's expression was complex; regret flashed in his eyes first, then turned into indifference and anger.

"But the things that Sun Wukong has done this time are really too big! Attacking a ship representing the World Government, kidnapping important criminals from CP9, and even writing such treasonous words on that flag, any one of these three things is earth-shattering enough, and he actually did them all at the same time!"

Even if he is young, that cannot be an excuse for him to commit such a grave mistake! You must know that he knew Nico Robin was a criminal wanted by the World Government, yet he still did it.

The Five Elders are now aware of these events, and they are furious. They have ordered our navy to capture Sun Wukong and his companions.

Garp, I know you want to train Goku to be your successor, and I understand your feelings, but this time, for both reasons and for reasons of reason, I cannot let this go unpunished. I must capture him!

"If he repents in prison, then...maybe there's still a sliver of a chance he can return to the Navy, you understand, Garp?"

Sengoku stared intently at Garp, hoping his old friend would heed his "unpleasant but truthful advice."

He did indeed have a fondness for Goku's talent; otherwise, he wouldn't have tacitly allowed Garp to provide him with various travel conveniences, or agreed to attribute most of the credit for the Alabasta incident to Goku, allowing him to smoothly rise through the ranks after officially joining the Navy.

But now, after this incident, he can no longer regard Goku as a promising new naval recruit, but rather as a lawless madman.

He, a staunch supporter of the World Government, insisted that such a madman who openly defied the World Government must be arrested and brought to trial.

As for the idea that Goku might repent and return to the Navy in the future, that was just rhetoric he used to comfort his old friend.

Committing such a crime will basically mean spending the rest of your life in prison, with little chance of returning to the Navy.

Garp clenched his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and his face, which was usually covered with a carefree smile, was now as gloomy as water.

Goku is a young man he values, an outstanding successor he wants to pass on his mantle to. But now, because of the mess things up by the World Government, this successor he values ​​has become the enemy of the Navy.

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked up, his gaze like lightning shooting straight at the Warring States period.

"Sengoku! Stop talking nonsense! You know Goku's personality; he's the kind of person who doesn't cause trouble! If those people from the World Government hadn't taken his companions away in such a brutal way, how could he have done what you're saying!"

Sengoku, seeing that he hadn't been able to make Garp understand despite all his explanations, grew angry and retorted, "What partner? That's a fugitive wanted for twenty years! He knew he was a wanted criminal, yet he stayed with him, protected him, and even went to war with the World Government for him! Tell me, where is there even a shred of respect for the World Government in his eyes!"

I don't need to elaborate on what kind of person someone who has no respect for the World Government will become. Even if this incident hadn't happened and he had successfully joined the Navy, he would still be a ticking time bomb! A bomb buried in the Navy that could explode at any time!

"While he hasn't fully matured yet, our Navy can still capture and control him. Once he truly grows up, it won't be so simple, Garp. What he does then will be far more earth-shattering than what we're doing now! The world will be thrown into uncontrollable chaos because of him! Do you even understand?!"

Snapped! !

Karp slammed his fist on the table and stood up, shattering the coffee table, which was even more fragile than the desk, into a raging mess that brought tears to the eyes of all who witnessed it.

"All of this is just your imagination! Goku joining the Navy will definitely make the world more stable and peaceful! None of what you're saying will ever happen!!"

"Garp! This is all wishful thinking on your part! You're being too emotional!!"

"Warring States! Your brain has gotten so old and senile!!"

Two pillars of the navy, veterans and senior figures, thus began their verbal sparring.

Outside, all the sailors were terrified and dared not pass through, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire, so they all took detours.

The verbal battle in the office lasted for ten minutes. Both sides were red in the face and their spittle flew everywhere, almost flooding the entire office.

In the end, neither side could win the argument, and Garp angrily turned and left.

"Hmph! I'm going to go find those old fogies, the Five Elders, and give them a piece of my mind! Goku and the others are absolutely not to be touched!"

Sengoku was furious and wanted to smash things, but finding nothing left to break, he pointed at Garp and roared, "Garp! Don't forget who you are now! What your stance is! What impact will your actions have on the Navy?!"

Swish! !

These words seemed to have pressed a switch on Garp, freezing his striding posture in place.

Seeing this, Sengoku took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and pressed his advantage, saying, "Regardless of why Sun Wukong did these things, his actions have undoubtedly violated the law. Anyone who breaks the law must be arrested by our Navy. Garp, this has been our belief for so many years. Are you going to betray your own beliefs?!"

Garp clenched his fists, his body trembling violently.

Seeing this, Zhan Guo didn't say anything more, because he knew that his words had already had an effect.
