Chapter 499 Damn Jojo!

"Marco flew all the way across the New World to come to the Sabaody Archipelago, but he only stayed for half a day and left directly..."

Sengoku frowned, "Since he left, our people in Sabaody have only found traces of Rayleigh, but no trace of Giorno and Jolyne... Damn, we were fooled, Marco didn't come here for Rayleigh at all! His purpose in coming to the Sabaody Archipelago is for those two people from the JOJO Pirates - that's right!"

Sengoku recalled the information he had received a while ago, regarding Giovanna Giorno's "employment agency" in the Sabaody Archipelago.

He shouted angrily, "Calculating the time, Marco must have flown here from the New World as soon as he heard the news that Giorno had appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago, right?"

The General leaned angrily against the back of the chair with the coat of justice hanging on it!

He is known as a "wise general", but he ignored Giovanna Giorno and others because of the names Whitebeard and Rayleigh.

After all, he was the one who defeated the former Shichibukai Laut Heina!

And he has the special ability to take the opponent's devil fruit without killing the target... When Sengoku thought of that possibility, he felt powerless and depressed.

"That's not necessarily true," Karp said, "Maybe he just talked to Rayleigh and left after that?"

He laughed, "After all, they are pirates, not like us navy men who can fly freely. They may not have any special intentions when they move around! Maybe they heard that Rayleigh was in Shampoo and came here to reminisce about the past..."

Zhan Guo said in a deep voice: "Rayleigh has been missing for almost ten years, but it was not until the accident a while ago that we learned that this guy was actually living in seclusion in the Sabaody Archipelago! For ten years, he has stayed in the Sabaody Archipelago silently, and no one has discovered him. In the incident a while ago, Zephyr saw him in the Sabaody Archipelago, but what about the next few days? He disappeared without a trace again... But on the day when Marco came and left, Rayleigh was repeatedly discovered by the marines in the Sabaody Archipelago. Garp, don't you think there is a problem? How could Rayleigh be found so easily by ordinary marines as long as he didn't want to be discovered?"

"..." Garp's expression became serious, "You are right."

"Unless he intentionally exposed his whereabouts! He is distracting us..." Zhan Guo leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, staring at the corner of the ceiling, his voice getting louder and louder, "Garp, to be honest, even if you and I go to the Sabaody Archipelago in person, is it that easy to find that old guy Rayleigh?!"

"Calm down, calm down, Sengoku." Garp said hurriedly. As Sengoku's emotions fluctuated, the desk, the ground, and the walls were shaking. The Great Buddha Fruit also has the ability to shock and vibrate!

Sengoku took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Garp raised the bag in his hand and suggested, "Would you like some senbei?"

"Don't confuse me with you!" Zhan Guo rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Garp didn't care, crunching his rice crackers, "Didn't you say that when our people in Shampooland saw Marco flying away, he was the only one there? - No!"

The old man pondered with a serious face, "Should I say, he's the only bird?"

Zhan Guo really wanted to kick him to death. How old is he, and he's still playing tricks? "Maybe those two people were not seen sitting on the back of the Phoenix, or maybe he used some kind of devil fruit ability to avoid our surveillance..." Zhan Guo frowned and said, "It's also possible that Giorno and Jolyne have already taken the coated ship to Fishman Island..."

Garp asked, "Should we send someone to Fishman Island to confirm?"

Zhan Guo ignored him.

Fishman Island is 10,000 meters under the sea!

Even though all the pirates are flocking to the New World, only one in ten can actually reach Fishman Island safely!

Although there is coating technology, it is not foolproof. Once the membrane breaks during the dive, humans who are not fishmen will die! The pirates are crazy and don't care about their lives. As a general, Sengoku can't let his marines take such a big risk to go to Fishman Island just because of a piece of information that is neither important nor unimportant.

Every time they journeyed to Fishman Island, no one dared to be sure that they would be able to come back alive.

It is for this reason that the Ryugu Kingdom of Fishman Island, which joined the World Government about two hundred years ago, has never received true protection from the World Government from beginning to end, and there is no navy stationed on Fishman Island at all.

More than ten years ago, before the Whitebeard Pirates planted their flag on Fishman Island, Fishman Island, which was a member of the World Government, had been harassed by pirates and received no assistance from the navy.

A member country of the World Government has to take refuge under the banner of pirates. Isn't it ridiculous?

Not long after, another Marine knocked on the door and came in. After saluting Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp respectively, he reported a brief intelligence report.

After hearing this, Zhan Guo's face turned even uglier.

"On the day after Marco left, the rookie bounty hunter 'Tequila' who was very active a few days ago also disappeared without a trace?"

"Several pirates who were captured by him and taken to the naval base in exchange for bounty said that Tequila once called himself Joestar Joseph?"

"Jostar Joseph... Giovanna Giorno... Jojo... How similar are they? Hehehe..."

Sengoku was so angry that he slammed his fist on the desk and said angrily, "No wonder they are called the JOJO Pirates!"

"A powerful bounty hunter suddenly appeared, and he chose this name. He didn't even try to hide his identity?" Garp asked in confusion while chewing on a senbei. "Then why did he change his appearance again?"

Sengoku looked at the new bag of senbei in his hand, then glanced down at the desk cabinet and shouted angrily: "Garp! You stole my senbei again!!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Don't you want to eat?" Karp was surprised.

Zhan Guo didn't bother to pay attention to him. His right arm turned into a several-meter-long golden Buddha hand, snatched Garp's bag of senbei, stuffed two handfuls into his mouth with hatred, and squinted his eyes and said, "I guess he used the power of some devil fruit to change his appearance... Damn, that bastard's special ability, doesn't it have any side effects or limitations? How many devil fruits did he steal? Are the devil fruits he stole permanent?

“No… the gas fruit he snatched from Caesar seems to have been used for a long time… has it disappeared?

"Can he switch between different Devil Fruit abilities at will? Can he use them temporarily, with a limit on the number of times, or can he use them at will? Is it a one-time use?"

A series of soliloquy flew out of Zhan Guo's mouth.

Garp said indifferently: "It's just a devil fruit. No matter what ability it is, it all depends on who is using it! That kid can defeat Laut Heina and compete with Zephyr... It's enough to prove that even without any devil fruit, he is already a strong man who cannot be underestimated!"

Zhan Guo's face still didn't look good, and he said to himself: "But Garp, you should have thought of it, right? If Marco really came for Giorno...what would his purpose be?"

"Hahaha, is there any need to explain this?" Garp wanted to eat some senbei, but found that his hands were empty. His eyes were buried in the shadows, and he grinned and said, "As a son, it's only natural for him to want his old man to recover his health..."

"Marco wants to use Giorno's Phoenix Fruit to heal Whitebeard's broken body! "If Whitebeard really returns to his peak..."

Sengoku spoke slowly in a gloomy voice, and even the optimistic Garp couldn't help but look serious. After all, he was a navy, and he couldn't relax when he saw the powerful pirates.

…

…

The blue-flame Phoenix and a green Den Den Mushi flying high in the sky suddenly turned from the sky above the Calm Belt and headed westwards to the Grand Line!

"We're almost there." The bespectacled phoenix smiled.
