One Piece: Starting from Obtaining the Float-Float Fruit
Chapter 52 Ransom
Five days later, near the sea in Water Seven.
The warships dispatched by the Navy Headquarters slowly approached the shore.
This time, the mission was jointly led by Vice Admiral Tsuru and Vice Admiral Garp of the Navy Headquarters, who were tasked with providing ransom for Anya.
However, when they officially entered Water Seven, they found the navy working diligently.
"The Navy is actually working for one of the Four Emperors. Anya is going to completely trample on the Navy's dignity." Tsuru's voice was somewhat muffled.
Garp picked his nose and said, "This is obviously Sakazuki's doing. Looks like Anya is going to make these Marines pay for their mistakes."
Garp saw things quite clearly. He knew very well that the Buster Call was inherently a form of inhumane killing, and the Marines who participated in the Buster Call usually didn't have a good reputation.
Anya's actions can be seen as helping those navy personnel regain their humanity, instead of simply carrying out killing orders.
Garp has a good eye for people; he never thought Anya was a bad guy.
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the island, Anya personally led Mihawk and Moria to greet them.
"Oh my, isn't this our naval hero, Grandpa Garp? It's an honor to meet you here. Come, come with me, a banquet has been prepared especially for you."
Anya welcomed the navy's arrival with a broad smile.
Of course, what he really welcomes is money.
The two old men were so worn out that their teeth were almost falling out. If it weren't for the billions of Berries they brought, Anya would have had to turn them away.
Upon hearing that this young man knew how to handle things, Karp laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, there's even a banquet? This is troublesome!"
Crane, standing to the side, was ashen-faced and demanded, "Are you insulting the Navy? Making them work for pirates!"
She was heartbroken to see Gion covered in dust and dirt, carrying wooden planks. She had always regarded Gion as her younger sister, but now she was in such a miserable state.
Anya retorted without hesitation, "Have you ever experienced the Buster Call?"
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
He looked at the young man in front of her. She knew that this young man had experienced two Demon Busters, but why did he ask this question?
"Have you ever seen civilians who died under the Buster Call?" Anya asked again.
Tsuru remained silent, unsure how to answer, because she also knew about the Ohara incident, in which all the civilians were killed by Akainu.
This time, although most civilians were evacuated from Water Seven, some elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people were still left behind...
"I'll ask you again, who am I? I'm a pirate. I'm already being lenient by not killing them, just piling their heads together. What kind of face are you talking about with a pirate?"
Anya, with her hands in her pockets, stood in front of He and stared intently at her.
Garp, standing to the side, also suppressed his smile and stared intently at Anya's every move. He admired the young man, but that didn't mean he would stand idly by while Anya attacked the Navy.
"Your navy's reputation means nothing to me. Your so-called reputation is just licking your boots and fawning over the Celestial Dragons, waiting for your master to feed you like stray dogs." Anya relentlessly berated the navy.
Mihawk, standing to the side, adjusted his hat, barely suppressing a laugh. He had to admire Anya's quick wit sometimes.
Moria also wanted to laugh, but remembering that the legendary naval hero was right next to him, he didn't dare to.
Although Anya was telling the truth, it still made Garp's fists harden.
"You're not welcome here. If you care so much about Gion, then go and work with her! No one can take them away until Water Seven is rebuilt. If you think it's too slow, then work with them."
After Anya said that, she took Garp with her to the banquet.
He clenched her fists, furious. She had never suffered such humiliation before, especially from a young man!
Not far away, Gion also noticed the crane.
"Sister Crane, what brings you here?" Gion wiped the dust off her face, a forced smile on her face.
"Gion-neechan, I'm so sorry you've suffered. Are you alright?" Tsuru looked at Gion's pale face, knowing she must have endured a lot of hardship.
"It's alright, Tsuru-neechan..." Gion almost couldn't hold back her tears, which welled up in her eyes.
Regardless of whether they were injured or not, if they slacked off even a little bit during this period, Anya would ruthlessly kick them away.
Anya's attitude was also very clear: she wanted to let you guys who like being Tianlong-human dogs really experience what it's like to be a dog.
Anya told them that on the Red Line, in the land inhabited by the Celestial Dragons, the suffering of such a life, magnified a hundredfold, was the suffering felt by the enslaved people.
Most of the Navy thought Anya was talking nonsense, but only those who had actually come into contact with the Celestial Dragons knew that what Anya said was true.
Gion is one of them.
It should be said that all the vice admirals in the navy have more or less learned about the Celestial Dragons' ways.
Therefore, they did not resist much, but instead honestly helped rebuild Water City.
……
Inside the banquet hall, Garp's relaxed expression vanished, replaced by a somewhat silent demeanor.
"What's wrong, Vice Admiral Garp? Is this not to your liking? Come on, eat!"
Anya handed him a large bone stick.
"Do you really think the Navy is wrong?" Garp asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Anya called over Kerr, De Soro, and Siklor.
"Tell this naval hero how you were captured and taken to the Holy Land."
De Solo was the first to tell his story... At that moment, there was no awe in his eyes, only overwhelming rage.
Sikoror also recounted his experiences in a deep voice. He was originally a carefree child in a village, but because his country was not affiliated with the World Government, the Celestial Dragons held a hunting game on his island.
Those who did not die were captured and taken to the Holy Land as slaves.
Needless to say, Kerr is a member of the fish-man race. Once he comes ashore and encounters a Celestial Dragon, he will become the Celestial Dragon's plaything.
Garp has doubted more than once whether his sense of justice is truly correct.
Whenever he wanted to think about the matter in detail, he would shift his attention to Roger.
It seems that only when he is chasing pirates can he claim to be righteous.
"If you're going to talk about whether the Navy is just, I can say that it is, of course, just partly. But if you add the World Government to the discussion, my attitude is the same as Mr. Dragon's."
Anya carefully observed the expression on Garp's face, seemingly trying to discern something from it.
But Garp suddenly laughed and said, "I'm getting old. It's your era now, young people. This old man won't get involved. Come on, eat some meat!"
Anya smiled slightly as she looked at Garp. This old rascal was really clever.
However, Anya actually respects Garp quite a bit, after all, Garp is indeed a righteous Marine, and also the father of her benefactor, Dragon.
For both reason and emotion, Anya would give him some face.
Furthermore, Garp's attitude towards the World Government was not good, and he even beat up Im, which shows his true nature.
