"He's really heartless."
Amidst the changes, Old Man Zhang stepped forward and said, "I'm an old man, and I really can't bear to see such heartbreaking things. Can't you all step aside and let this young man go see his brother?"
He exhaled a puff of smoke, and the pipe in his hand swung a few times, creating a colorful burst of light that flew towards Jinbe, who had lost his arm.
In a short while, a small arm sprouted from Jinbe's arm. Then, the small arm grew larger at a visible speed and quickly returned to its previous shape.
In the blink of an eye, the cloud appeared beside the unconscious Hancock, healing her injuries and waking her up.
Tang Hong didn't speak. He turned his raised arm, and two gauntlets appeared on his arm, emitting an even more rapid buzzing sound.
"Weapons... He didn't use any weapons, which means he wasn't even going all out just now..." The pirates and marines hadn't recovered from the shock of his severed limbs regenerating when they were all gaping in astonishment.
Tang Hong turned his head slightly at that moment, and a murderous aura came from the side, subtly landing on him.
It's Garp.
"Heh." Tang Hong ignored the murderous aura, turned around and looked at Old Man Zhang, who was blowing out another puff of smoke, and released his own aura: "If he weren't the protagonist, he wouldn't even have the right to come here!"
They might even die in Impel Down!
"If he's so capable, let him get through it himself!"
If it were just a regular mission, he would be happy to let Luffy go. Unfortunately, as he gradually saw through this so-called destiny and game, he, like Lin Feng, could no longer muster the desire to accompany him.
Moreover, the task at the prefectural level is a clash of will and belief, so he should be even more clear about himself.
"Heh...interesting."
Hearing Tang Hong's words, Li Xuan smiled subtly. He hadn't planned to make a move, but he glanced at Lin Feng from afar and focused all his attention on Tang Hong: "Old man, leave this man to me."
"Oh, alright. Well, this old man will just play... support, yes, the kind of support you guys are talking about, that's fine." Old Zhang took a few steps back, took a long drag on his pipe, and exhaled a large breath.
"Luffy." Li Xuan stepped forward, taking out a strange device and pulling out a card that shimmered with golden light: "Want to see your future self?"
The card flew out of Li Xuan's hand, spun a few times in the air, and then suddenly appeared in front of Luffy.
Click...
A strange sound rang out, and Luffy suddenly looked down and noticed the change in himself.
A strange card slot had appeared on his chest, waiting for the card to be inserted.
"Time-Space Driver"
"Put it in, and you'll have a chance to break through his obstruction!"
Before Li Xuan could finish speaking, Luffy had already grabbed the card and pierced it into his chest without hesitation.
"Click-clack-click-clack!"
"Luffy?!"
"Straw Hat Boy?"
"What did you do?!"
"Did Straw Hat Boy get tricked?"
Luffy suddenly collapsed to the ground, and voices of doubt quickly arose around him. But Luffy did not stop lying on the ground. A strange drumbeat suddenly jumped out from his chest, causing a series of tremors.
The earth, the air, the ships—everything around him trembled. Those closest to him instinctively grabbed the bouncing stones, feeling their strange texture.
"The fruit awakens."
All the Navy officers of vice admiral rank and above understood that the card inserted into Luffy's chest had directly granted him awakened power.
"Hahahaha! Why, why do I feel so happy!"
"This heartbeat, this feeling, hahahahaha!"
With a strange heartbeat, Lu Fei sprang up, his body involuntarily beginning to dance, his white hair billowing out.
"Hahaha, Ace, hahaha, I've come to save you!"
The dance was fleeting. A cloud appeared behind Luffy, and his three-colored Haki naturally emanated from him. Then, he stepped into the sky and swung his black fist at Tang Hong.
Fifth Gear - Sun God Nika Form.
"It seems the plan is about to be disrupted." A cold laugh quietly spread from the naval tower, and the three people standing there looked at Li Xuan on the ship with unfriendly eyes: "Showing the form of the Sun God in such a public place, I'm afraid many people can't help it."
"Namo Amitabha Buddha, since that's the case, why don't we capture him?" The bald man twirled the jade bead in his hand.
Where is the redhead?
"It stopped twenty nautical miles away and did not approach."
"Then let's start with Garp. Coincidentally... Garp is also their target."
"Abe, Garp is in your hands now."
The discussion quickly ended, and as the surrounding icebergs trembled like rubber, the man who had arrived early beside Sengoku walked step by step from beside the gloomy-faced Sengoku to the edge of the high platform.
With his coat of justice fluttering, Abe Hayato, who was half the height of Sengoku, took a step that startled Sengoku.
As Sengoku watched this person from the World Government approach Garp, he involuntarily took a step back, avoiding Garp's gaze.
"Let Garp carry out the execution, even if it's just... a verbal one."
"Sengoku, the World Government is full of suspicion about you. If you cannot prove yourself, then... Admiral Akainu will replace you as the new Fleet Admiral." Abe Hayato's words echoed in his ears again, and the ever-increasing panic repeatedly broke down Sengoku's mental defenses.
"Otherwise, all the secrets of you, Garp, Dragon, Luffy, and Ace will be exposed to the public."
The news has been made public... Akainu has become Fleet Admiral, which will not only completely change the future of the Navy, but also the entire world order.
The breath in Zhan Guo's chest weakened even more.
"Warring States, you are too weak. In the end... who can you protect? And who will care about you?"
"You've made a complete mess of the Navy!"
The piercing sound echoed in his head until he saw Abe Hayato grab Garp and lift him onto the platform. He could no longer control himself, closed his eyes, and froze on the spot.
"Garp, you announce the execution of Ace!"
"Huh?" Garp was stunned for a moment, then immediately suppressed his anger and shook his head, pretending to be dumb: "This matter is the responsibility of Fleet Admiral Sengoku."
"This is an order. You must announce Ace's execution!" Abe Hayato sneered. "Garp, do you want the world to know that you raised Ace? Or... that Dragon is your son and Luffy is your grandson?"
Garp, who was still pretending to be stupid, suddenly calmed down, staring straight at Abe Hayato, and then at Sengoku, who was sweating profusely to the side.
After a moment, Capu asked abruptly, "Sengoku, is this your order?"
“No…it is…” Sengoku answered in a low voice.
"Very well, I'll only listen to..."
"Garp, this is an order from the World Government. I believe that executing Ace would attract Whitebeard, so wouldn't executing Dragon's father attract the Revolutionary Army as well?"
With a low shout, Garp's face froze on the spot.
"What should be done if a naval admiral refuses to carry out orders during the Warring States period?" Abe Hayato continued with a sneer. "If Garp refuses to carry out orders, shouldn't the Fleet Admiral be the first to take him down?"
Change the navy? Change the system? Change the future?
From the perspective of the World Government, they have a better and simpler way to change the entire navy!
By making good use of these secrets and exposing all the boring "lies," the changes in the Navy will be truly eye-opening!
