Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 295 Garp: Case solved! It really was you who did it!

On the flagship battleship of the New Marineford siege fleet.

At this moment, Zephyr, Garp, and Kuzan were looking at the somewhat uneasy Wild Shepherd sitting in front of them.

The two leaders of the Navy Headquarters are Aramaki and Stussy. If the two of them work together, it wouldn't be difficult for them to leave unnoticed and meet with Zephyr.

With Stussy in charge at Marine Headquarters, Aramaki has one night to talk to Zephyr and the others.

In reality, his appearance here already foreshadowed everything.

"No need to be so nervous." Zephyr looked at the somewhat uneasy Aramaki and said in a gentle tone, "You haven't been in the Navy for long. Judging from Stussy's explanation, you weren't actually a member of the CP organization back then, but rather a skilled civilian from the South China Sea. You've only served the World Government for two and a half years, all within the Navy. This shows that you haven't been tainted by the darkness of the World Government. In some ways, you can stand up straight now and be more resolute than us old folks."

That's true. Huang Mu has been with the World Government for two and a half years and hasn't caused any trouble. Especially since he was just a vice admiral in the Navy before, he wasn't even qualified to get involved in anything too dark.

From this perspective, he could be even tougher than Kuzan, Garp, or even Zeff, after all, he really didn't have any dark side.

"Yes, someone like you is worth our effort," Garp said with a smile. "The fact that you took the risk to come see us today is enough to prove your sincerity. After we finish talking, you have to go back and try to integrate the headquarters with Stussy as soon as possible. We'll be waiting for you."

Despite hearing these words, Aramaki's expression remained serious. He glanced at Garp several times, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

This puzzled Garp, who couldn't help but ask, "Is there something you want to say to this old man?"

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant General Garp." Aramaki took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Actually, I secretly sent your grandson to Mary Geoise."

Garp? ???

If he could keep it a secret forever, Huang Mu would never have spoken of it. But he knew that this secret could not be kept hidden forever. Once he surrendered, the World Government would definitely expose this matter and use it to retaliate against him.

At that point, he'll be caught in the middle, pleasing neither side.

Rather than waiting to be exposed, it's better to take advantage of his current high value and speak frankly. After all, Garp can't just kill him, right? What about the Marine Headquarters then?

Karp was all smiles and in a good mood. After all, winning the new Marineford without a fight was a wonderful thing, wasn't it?

As a result, Aramu dropped this bombshell right from the start, completely stunning Garp.

A moment later, Garp suddenly snapped out of his daze, his previously gentle gaze turning fierce as he angrily demanded, "What did you say? My grandson is really on Mary Geoise?"

"Yes." Huang Mu forced a smile and swallowed hard. "Back then, I received a secret order from the Five Elders, instructing me to secretly send your grandson to Mary Geoise."

Before Garp could speak, Aramaki quickly said, "I have no right to refuse such an order. Although I am very nervous, I have no choice."

"Fuck you!" Garp swung his hand with domineering energy, ready to kill Aramu on the spot.

Fortunately, Kuzan reacted quickly and pulled Garp aside, saying, "Mr. Garp, calm down. Let's at least listen to what's going on first. The bigger picture is more important."

"Is he still alive?!" Garp was stopped by Kuzan, but he still quickly asked.

"I'm not entirely sure, but at least when I sent him to Mary Geoise, he was still alive, and the Five Elders' secret order also required that he be alive and not harmed. I think there shouldn't be any problem, right?" Aramaki explained in a flustered tone.

Garp's words were actually a case of being overly concerned; in reality, Luffy's Vivre Card shows that he is indeed alive.

"Do you know what the Five Elders are up to?" Garp asked again.

"I don't know, they didn't tell me anything, they just told me to carry out orders," Huang Mu quickly shook his head.

Zefa had experienced this kind of pain, so his expression was also very gloomy. He now understood why Bane couldn't stand Huang Mu at all; it was because this guy had absolutely no morals!

Regarding Garp's actions, any other naval officer with a modicum of integrity would never have done such a thing. Sakazuki had already been extremely loyal to Mary Geoise during his campaign for Fleet Admiral, right? But would the Five Elders dare to mention kidnapping Garp's grandson to him?

Impossible. Even if Sakazuki didn't become a marshal, he would never do such a thing.

"Little man," Zeff, Garp, and Kuzan all labeled Wild Shepherd with this label at this moment.

For a moment, I even wondered if I shouldn't have given him the chance.

"Karp." Zephyr thought for a moment, then finally called out.

Garp immediately waved his hand, his expression grim as he sat down and said, "Don't try to reason with me. I was prepared for this. I came to Mary Geoise to avenge this!"

If it had happened recently, when Garp was anxious, he might have really lost his temper and punched that bastard Aramaki to death.

But so much time has passed, and Garp has actually processed a lot of his emotions. When he suddenly heard about this, although he was furious, he was able to control his emotions after being stopped.

Being stared at with such imposing gazes from Garp, Zephyr, and Kuzan, Aramaki felt quite uneasy.

After a long silence, Zephyr spoke up: "The fact that you brought this up means there's still hope for you."

Upon hearing this, Huang Mu quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your understanding, Marshal. I really..."

"Alright, enough said." Zephyr waved his hand and said, "No matter what, after what you've done, you can no longer join our new Navy. But as the current Fleet Admiral, you do possess extremely high value."

When Zefa talked about these things before, he was still somewhat reserved, saving face for Huangmu.

But now, his words are quite direct and very straightforward.

"Sakazuki is on his way. Once he arrives, you can become his assistant," Zeffa said coldly.

Sakazuki is currently the Supreme Commander of the New World Government's army, so it would be quite suitable for Aramaki to serve as his assistant.

He has a high enough status, but he has absolutely no power.

After all, judging from the current situation, Sakazuki has no real power. He can only change his current awkward situation after this war is over.

This is because everyone in the Navy trusts Sakazuki very much. Even Kuzan, despite having many disagreements with Sakazuki, at least approves of his character.

By placing Aramu under Sakazuki's command, it was essentially putting Sakazuki in Sight of him.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Knowing he was in the wrong, Huang Mu, who was already feeling guilty, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. This outcome was not too different from what he had expected. He was given a prestigious but idle position, which was now being used as a mascot.

Huang Mu, who had been suffering for many days, finally landed safely. He didn't dare to bargain and immediately agreed, "Okay, I will follow your arrangements."

Zefa, who had originally wanted to say a few more words to Aramaki, had lost the mood for it. Suppressing his disgust, he said, "There's no time to lose. You shouldn't have been away from headquarters for too long. Take advantage of the good night and go back now."

Huang Mu was more than happy to accept this. He was extremely uncomfortable under Garp's murderous gaze, so how could he dare to stay here any longer? He immediately got up, said goodbye, and left.

After Huang Mu left, Zefa slammed his hand on the table, his expression dark, and said, "Those scum on Mary Geoise always like to do these despicable things."

"You don't need to be so angry. Once we destroy Mary Geoise, the sinister things from back then will naturally be exposed." Seeing that Zephyr was angry, Garp tried to comfort him instead.

Compared to his grandson, who is at least alive and has a good chance of being rescued, Zefa's situation is truly hopeless.

Zefa shook his head and said, "With the way those bastards do things, how could they possibly leave any trace? Those despicable traitors like Huang Mu back then have probably been silenced long ago. I never held out any hope of finding the truth, but it doesn't matter. As long as they are all wiped out, I can finally feel better."

Kuzan, standing to the side, nodded in agreement, saying, "It was indeed time to kill them all. I was quite puzzled before; there was no real grudge between Bane and Huangmu, so why did that guy just dislike him? Now that I think about it, it really shows our poor judgment. From the very beginning, Bane probably saw that Huangmu was a selfish, despicable, and shameless scoundrel. How could we trust someone like that?"

"Hmph, we'll have plenty of time to settle accounts with him later," Garp sneered upon hearing this.

Without dwelling on the matter for too long, Zephyr quickly composed himself and said, "Alright, let's contact Bane and tell him about the situation here. Let him not worry, and then we can focus all our efforts on dealing with those bastards on Mary Geoise."

In the lounge of a battleship speeding through the seas of the New World.

Bane was pinning Nami down, kissing her cheek. Judging from the mess of clothes and underwear scattered all over the room, the two of them had just finished a fierce battle.

Nami, who was being kissed, panicked and said, "No, no, twice is enough, I can't take it anymore."

"Your part is over. As your good sister, shouldn't you pay the debt that Fubuki owes?" Bane said with an evil smile.

"It's always me, the little thief, who defaults on debts. When do you expect me to pay it back?" Nami argued, pushing Bane's chest.

Just then, there was a knock on the cabin door, followed by Ain's icy voice: "Young Master, although I really don't want to disturb you at this time, Teacher Zephyr has sent some important information."

Hearing Ain's unusually cold tone, Bane shuddered and said with some surprise, "Why do I keep sensing a resentful aura outside the door?"

Nami covered her mouth and laughed upon hearing this, saying, "Perhaps it's a debt owed by someone."

Ignoring Nami's teasing, Bane immediately said in a loud voice, "I know, I'll be right there, just wait a moment."

After saying that, he said in a menacing tone, "Consider yourself lucky you escaped."

"Just a few more days until I can meet up with Fubuki and the others," Nami thought with a hint of anticipation.

When the time comes, by cooperating with Fubuki, we can get back all the money we've been bullied by Bane!
