Chapter 507: Garp, where is your grandson?

[Marinford, Navy Headquarters——]

"Wahahahaha, Sengoku!"

With a bang, a burly old veteran with short white hair, full of energy and a loud and powerful voice, pushed open the door of General Zhan Guo's office.

Zhan Guo was sitting behind his desk with his arms folded, motionless as a mountain, and his eyes closed. On the table in front of him, a Den Den Mushi had the same expression as him, and seemed to be resting with its eyes downcast.

Hearing the noisy voice, Zhan Guo frowned, opened his eyes, and said unhappily: "Garp! You have nothing to do all day, right? Why do you come to me every other day?! - Don't look for me, I've run out of senbei!"

"Eh? No more?" Garp was shocked. He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and said disdainfully, "You are too lazy. Senbei is the top priority!"

"..." Zhan Guo took a deep breath and slowed down his breathing. "By the way, where is your little grandson? You sent him to Gom Town for foster care. You haven't been with him for a long time, right?"

You old man, you have nothing to do, so why don't you mess with your grandson? You come to my place all day to steal rice crackers. You really think I'm not angry, right? Gorm Town is a town on Labo Island, not too far from the Marine Headquarters, Marineford. Back then, Garp thought the rumor that "Vice Admiral Garp's grandson fell from the sky" was a bit annoying, so he sent Luffy to that island for foster care. Garp would take some time every month to go to Gorm Town on Labo Island to accompany his lively and cute grandson who was very easy to play with...

"Oh, you mean Luffy!" Garp crossed his legs, picked his nose, and said nonchalantly, "Because Luffy's mother comes to see him from time to time, it's really troublesome, so I have thrown Luffy back to his hometown in the East China Sea."

Zhan Guo nodded slightly, "Indeed, it would be better to let the mother take care of her son more conveniently. If I remember correctly, your hometown is the Kingdom of Goa..."

Garp flicked his finger to flick away the booger, "You're wrong! I sent Luffy away just because I didn't want to make things too easy for her..."

"Hmm?" Zhan Guo was surprised, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Mr. Daibutsu's eyes became sharp, "Garp, could it be that Luffy's mother..."

Garp laughed and said, "Yes, it's a pirate! If you think about it carefully, it's really inappropriate for a pirate to go to an island so close to the Navy Headquarters every year! Wahahaha..."

"What the hell are you laughing at!" Zhan Guo almost wanted to punch the old man across the desk. He leaned back in his chair and said, "Garp, you really know how to cause trouble for me... First your son, and now..."

The Buddha's general rubbed his forehead helplessly and sighed: "I hope your grandson won't cause any trouble in the future..."

"Don't worry about that!" Garp said confidently, "Luffy will become an excellent marine!" He chuckled, "I have been training him well..."

Zhan Guo said: "I hope so. You didn't come here just to talk to me about your grandson, did you?"

Garp asked in surprise: "Weren't you the one who mentioned Luffy first?"

"Oh, that's right." Zhan Guo held his forehead with his hand, "I'm confused..."

"Is it because of Whitebeard's incident?" Garp said in a deep voice, "He sent a warship to monitor the waters near the 'legend'. This is quite dangerous."

Sengoku sighed, "I know this is a bit risky. I have asked them to use the highest-powered telescopes to investigate the situation from the farthest distance possible. If Marco took Giorno away because he really wanted to use the Phoenix Fruit to restore Whitebeard's health as we speculated... With Whitebeard's size, such a scene would be visible even from a distance..."

As the two were talking, the Den Den Mushi on the table in front of Sengoku suddenly opened its eyes and started popping.

Zhan Guo picked up the phone and connected the call.

"Stolloberi, what's going on?"

Den Den Mushi imitated the black-bearded Stoloberry on the other end and said in a serious tone: "General Sengoku, what you are worried about may really happen..."

Zhan Guo's heart sank, and the Den Den Mushi in front of him slowly said: "Just now, we saw the Phoenix Marco arrived at the White Whale..."

In the New World, on a warship not too far from the White Whale, Vice Admiral Stoloberi of the headquarters said in a deep voice: "...and if my Observation Haki is correct, there is also a dark figure flying to the deck of the White Whale beside Marco."

"Shadows, ghosts, apparitions..." Zhan Guo's face was not looking good. "Descriptions like these often appear in Giorno's deeds. The flying squirrels who had dealt with him in the South China Sea also mentioned this."

Garp said seriously: "That means it was Giorno without a doubt! He did follow Marco to the White Whale."

Zhan Guo nodded and ordered: "Keep your distance and continue observing!" He put the microphone aside without hanging up.

Garp laughed and said, "It would be terrible if Giorno and Jolyne Kujo, two powerful pirates, accidentally joined the Whitebeard Pirates."

"I just wanted to confirm this, so I took the risk of sending a warship..." Sengoku said solemnly, "There is no need to join the Whitebeard Pirates. If the JoJo Pirates and Whitebeard were to become friends, it would already be a very undesirable situation... You should know that this is different from Rayleigh."

"Yes, Pluto has retired after all..." Garp agreed, "But Whitebeard is still the emperor of the sea, and if he recovers, he will become--"

“Oh my god…”

"Could it be..."

At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the Den Den Mushi on the table. It was the voice of the marines on the Stollobelli warship.

Zhan Guo grabbed the microphone placed beside him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Den Den Mushi, imitating the long whiskers of Stoloberry, took a deep breath and murmured, "Such huge phoenix wings almost covered the entire White Whale... It's absolutely correct, General Sengoku, Giorno really exchanged the devil fruits of Marco and Whitebeard! Whitebeard... is now a 'Phoenix'!!"

"...and will become the truly strongest one." Garp let out a light breath and finished what he had just said.

How strong will Whitebeard be after he regains full health? Or should we ask: How invincible was Whitebeard at his peak?

Suddenly, panicked cries rang out from the Den Den Mushi, and the sound seemed to be mixed with the roar of raging waves...

Zhan Guo asked loudly: "Stoloberg! What happened?"

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

"It's Whitebeard!"

The eyes of the Den Den Mushi on the table seemed to be looking far away, and the pupils vividly simulated the horror of seeing something terrible, "General Sengoku... Whitebeard, he has really recovered his peak strength!"

In the new world, on the deck of a warship tossed by the huge waves, Stoloberg held the railing with one hand and held the Den Den Mushi with the other, staring at the terrifying scene ahead that seemed to be cut in half by a knife, creating an underwater abyss...

He broke out in a cold sweat and said solemnly, "It only took one strike to cut the sea apart... Huge waves are hitting our warships. We must have been discovered!"

"Things are going in the most unfavorable direction for us!"

Sengoku felt a headache and sighed, "What a pity, if Giorno hadn't clashed with the Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago..."

Soon, the sound of waves and the shaking of the warship rang out from the mouth of the Den Den Mushi, mixed with the shouts of many marines, as if they were trying their best to maintain the stability of the warship...

"Unbelievable...Unbelievable..." Den Den Mushi imitated Stolloberi's tone. Sengoku had never heard such an inappropriate tone from this calm vice admiral. "What are they doing? The sound of earthquake force being activated kept coming from the White Whale, but the strength of the vibration was sometimes high and sometimes low. It was totally unlike the level that Whitebeard should have..."

In the New World, on the deck of a warship that was rocking in the rolling waves, Stoloberg used a telescope to observe the White Whale and could indeed see the vibration cracks that appeared from time to time.

"Could it be that Giorno... keeps giving the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to the crew members on Whitebeard's ship?" The Vice Admiral muttered to himself. It was simply unreasonable. When did the Devil Fruit become like a toy that could be exchanged and experienced at will?

Moreover, that is... the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!!

At the Navy Headquarters, Garp smiled with shadows in his eyes and said, "It seems... Giorno is having a lot of fun with them!"

Zhan Guo clenched his fists, his face gloomy, and he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

He was in the office, eating shit all afternoon, and just when he was scratching his hair with a face full of pain, imagining what kind of unrest would happen on the sea if a pirate of the Shichibukai level became friends with the Whitebeard Pirates, or in the worst case, directly joined the Whitebeard Pirates... In the evening, Stoloberry's surprised voice suddenly came from the Den Den Mushi: "Admiral Sengoku, it seems that... a war has started on the White Whale!

"It's Whitebeard who has become the Phoenix, and... Giorno! They suddenly started fighting!!"

………………

Whitebeard wielded the supreme sword Kusukimi-ri and chopped it down with force, with domineering aura flowing on the blade of the naginata, and it collided head-on with the golden iron rod swung by Lynch with great force!

Boom! Black and red domineering lightning burst out between the naginata and the golden iron rod, dancing wildly on the deck of the White Whale.

Trivia: Blackbeard is Luffy's opposite, but he has the same passive skill, [Strong Luck], as Luffy, so he doesn't die that easily. If he died that easily, it wouldn't fit the character setting.
