"What does that person look like? Do you know who he is? What did he do, or what is his purpose?" Sengoku asked, interrupting Garp. The fact that a powerful figure could easily defeat Garp made Sengoku cautious; such an unidentified expert could be extremely dangerous in a critical moment.
“He was wearing a full suit of black armor, and I don’t know anything else about him. There are no photos of him either. Apart from beating me and my grandson up, he didn’t do anything else.” Garp shook his head and said, “He had a swordsman with him named Tashigi, a child of about ten years old. The purpose was probably to use my grandson as a practice tool for that child. He was wearing a black robe, which also concealed his appearance, and he was also wearing a mask. However, he gave me a strange feeling.”
"In other words, besides knowing that the person was wearing black armor and had someone named Tashigi by his side, we know nothing about him. We don't even have a single photograph, we don't know what he looks like, what his name is, let alone his identity or where he's from." Upon hearing this, the naval staff officer, Tsuru, said, "However, the other party has not committed any evil deeds, or rather, his evil deeds have not been discovered by the Navy, so at least for now we cannot define him as a pirate, but only a hypothetical enemy."
“But we absolutely cannot let such a powerful individual go unchecked. We need to send someone to make contact with them, at the very least to find out if they harbor any hostility towards the Navy or the World Government,” Sengoku said, glancing at the people in the office. “But who should we send?”
Sengoku glanced at Garp, who was blowing snot bubbles and fast asleep. He didn't know when Garp had fallen asleep so quickly. Although Garp was strong enough, he had already fought with his opponent and was no match for him, so he wasn't a suitable candidate.
Then Sengoku looked at Kizaru. The fastest man was also the fastest at escaping.
"How terrifying." Kizaru immediately looked at the wall, as if he wanted to see something amazing about it. Garp had already been beaten up, so this kind of task was obviously thankless and difficult.
Sengoku hesitated for a moment, then continued to look at Aokiji.
Aokiji was now just like Garp, pulling down his eye mask and falling asleep, clearly intending to play dumb.
Finally, Sengoku turned his gaze to Akainu.
"Fleet Commander, the Four Emperors of the New World may be making unusual moves. I need to stay and oversee the New World," Akainu immediately declared righteously. He had already prepared his excuse. Although Garp's words were interrupted, everyone knew that Garp was referring to that pirate crew. This was no longer a thankless task; it could very well cost him his life.
"Do you think I, as the Fleet Admiral, wouldn't know if the Four Emperors of the New World have made any unusual moves?" Sengoku was speechless, but he knew the reason. He said, "Stop pretending. None of you are suitable. We don't even know the other side's attitude towards the Navy yet. The other side is too strong. The Navy can't afford to lose combat power like yours."
"Phew." Hearing this, the sleeping one woke up, and the one watching the wall also turned his head back.
"Then who should we send?" Karp asked.
"He, who do you think is suitable?" Upon hearing this, Sengoku rubbed his head in exasperation and looked at He.
"Sengoku, we can't afford to lose too many powerful fighters, and people of too low a status are also unsuitable. Certain people in the Navy can't go either. You should make the decision." Tsuru said what Sengoku already knew, passing the buck back to him.
"..." Warring States period. Of course he knew all this. He had originally hoped that Crane would recommend someone, but he still had to decide for himself. Sending anyone could be seen as sending someone to their death.
"Garp, you mentioned before that Smoker from Loguetown also seemed to have chased after that man in black armor," Sengoku suddenly said. "And they came back alive."
"Huh? Did I say that?" Garp asked, looking confused.
“Vice Admiral Garp, you said that,” Akainu said.
