Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue.

Chapter 98 Surrender

"Monka, it's that kid Monka. Who did you think I was talking about? Yeah, who else could I be talking about? I didn't expect that kid Monka would actually be caught too?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll escort that kid back when we get back."

"What relationship? What relationship? Haha, I was just kidding!"

"That's enough, I'm hanging up! Don't worry, I definitely won't forget!"

"Beep beep~"

Garp hung up the Den Den Mushi, looked at the crowd staring at him, and quickly burst into laughter again. "You scared me to death! I thought I was going to get arrested too."

Although he said he was terrified, there was no trace of worry in his tone as he continued to pick his nose with a cheerful smile.

Then, looking at Moke in front of him, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, your boss wasn't arrested! I didn't expect Donghai to be so corrupt, the whole place is full of corrupt officials! Oh well, never mind that."

After letting out a sigh of regret, he resumed his carefree demeanor and looked at Moke with a puzzled expression.

"That kid Shacher even taught you Iron Body? That guy wouldn't be spreading the Navy's Six Powers around everywhere, would he? But I've never seen you use it?"

"The boss told me not to use the iron block, saying that this move is a guaranteed kill, and if I really had to use it..." Moke scratched his head and said nonchalantly, "he just told me to run away!"

"Using Iron Body to escape? What was that kid thinking? Iron Body is a technique in the Six Powers of the Navy used to increase defense, why would he think of using it to escape? Besides, you can't move freely when using Iron Body, how are you going to run?" Hearing Moke's words, Garp, who was taking out a bag of snacks and eating them, also looked puzzled, but then he ignored it and resumed his grinning expression, saying cheerfully, "Fine, since you know Iron Body, then you can keep hammering trees for me until all the trees are gone."

"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Boss Garp!"

"I'm a Marine, I didn't teach you anything. You were just hammering trees yourself, kid." Garp waved his hand chuckled. "Don't say I taught you."

"Don't worry, I, Moke, am the most discreet man on the high seas! I would never go around telling anyone."

"That's great! Hahaha~"

"..."

Watching these two... one dared to speak, the other truly believed, Bogart shook his head helplessly. Seemingly remembering something, he spoke again, "By the way, Vice Admiral Garp, what should we do with that pirate on the ship?"

Because the situation was somewhat unusual, after locking up the pirate, the other marines were instructed not to interfere.

As a result, these past few days...

I almost forgot about that guy.

"That pirate? Which pirate?" Garp looked at Bogart with a puzzled expression. "Isn't Mok right here?"

"I'm right here!"

"It's not Mok." Seeing that the two had truly forgotten about him, Bogart raised an eyebrow, but still explained, "It's the clown who was captured with Mok!"

The voice just fell.

At this time.

Moke seemed to finally remember something, slapped his forehead, and exclaimed in realization, "Oh no! That's Bucky! I forgot to give it to the boss!"

……

"Is anyone there? I'm still here! Could you get me something to eat?"

"Damn the Navy, have they forgotten about your old man Buggy?"

"I...I...I...that bastard Mok, I, Bucky the Joker, will haunt him even in death!"

Inside the dog-headed warship prison, Bucky, who hadn't eaten for days, weakly leaned against the bars and howled loudly at the door, "Is anyone there? Someone come quick! If all else fails, I'll send you, Bucky, to court!"

The voice just fell.

'Crunch~'

At this time.

The cabin doors, which had been closed for many days, were opened.

Bucky, who had been weak, suddenly widened his eyes, shuddered, and seemed to become much more energetic. "Yeah, right! Your Uncle Bucky won't surrender so easily."

The voice just fell.

Two figures walked in.

As the light shone in, Bucky recognized one of the figures... "Mok? You're still alive?"

"What death?" Moke looked at Bucky with a puzzled expression. "How could I die?"

"Weren't you on trial? Forget it, it's none of my business anyway. Even if you get dragged here again, it's none of your business, Buggy." Buggy waved his hand dismissively, then looked at the Marine next to Moke. "Hurry up and give me some food. You haven't forgotten about me and are planning to let me die here, have you? Damn Marines."

"You're right." Mok nodded seriously. "We really did forget about you, Bucky!"

"..."

Is this the key point now?

Looking at this overlord of the East Sea, Buggy said with a slight black line, "Stop talking so much, I told you to get me some food!"

"Food? There's no food left on the warship." Bogart said expressionlessly. "Resupply won't be available until later."

"What? No food left? Later?" Bucky said, looking utterly devastated. "Damn you, Bucky... okay, I feel like I'm about to starve to death!"

"It's alright, I just came to take you out!" Hearing Bucky's words, Mok patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you to eat something delicious. My big brother here is treating today!"

"You? Take me out?"

Bucky looked at Moke with a puzzled expression, before he could figure out what this overlord of the East Sea was talking about.

"Click~"

The makeshift prison was indeed opened, and even his shackles were removed.

"???"

Then, led by the overlord of the East Sea, Bucky, who still didn't understand what was going on... was actually taken away.

He walked out of the prison openly and legitimately, onto the deck, and disembarked from the naval warship under the watchful eyes of the sailors.

Bucky: ? ? ?

Still looking completely bewildered.

What's going on?

Don't those navy men care about them?

Bucky turned around, bewildered, to look at Mok, who was swaggering along with the Marine. He raised an eyebrow, leaned closer, and whispered, "What's going on here?"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something.

With a tone of surprise.

"Could it be that boss you mentioned came to rescue you? Hmm, who exactly is your boss?"

They even managed to rescue the pirates who were captured by the Navy heroes?

"Boss? No, not boss!" Moke scratched his head. "I almost forgot about you too. Be careful what you say later!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Who are we going to see? Your boss?"

"I've already said he's not my boss!"

"So, who is it?"

Bucky was still confused when he heard Moke's words, but the thought that even the people in the hands of the Navy hero could be rescued made him a little curious. After thinking for a moment, he stopped making any more moves.

Although he really wanted to escape, he was unclear about the situation and had been starving for several days, so now was not a good time to run away.

With a quick glance, Bucky obediently followed Mok beside him, walking forward together.

Not long after.

We arrived at a bar in a village.

Bucky, feeling a bit hungry, rubbed his stomach and smelled the aroma of meat and wine wafting over. Just as he was about to ask if he could have something to eat,

Sudden.

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

As soon as he said that...

Bucky: ? ? ?

I was completely bewildered again.

Even more bewildered than before, he couldn't help but look up and gaze ahead, and sure enough, he saw the figure in front of the bar, casually drinking.

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."

"...Eh."

Oh no, are we going to be discovered?

Just as Bucky looked up, a sheepish grin on his face, and said, "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 Roger's sidekick, 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 slight smirk at Garp, who was squinting at him. "I didn't expect to be recognized!"

"Hahaha!" Seeing Buggy's admission, Garp laughed triumphantly. "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're asking 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 would be fine. 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 were spoken.

"Follow me? What do you mean, kid?" Garp, 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?
