Chapter 173 No one understands “public opinion” better than me!
After exchanging blows with Tsugakuni Yoriichi, Garp had a clear understanding of Tsugakuni Yoriichi's current strength. In terms of Haki strength alone, his powerful Armament Haki was no match for Tsugakuni Yoriichi's Conqueror Haki.
Don’t think that just because Garp is a user of Conqueror’s Haki, his Armament Haki is weak. In fact, Garp has been roaming the sea for so many years, and there are only a handful of people who are worthy of him using Conqueror’s Haki against them.
Most enemies are unable to defeat his Armament Haki.
The fact that Tsugakuni Yoriichi was able to easily block his punch with a bamboo sword was enough to show how much Tsugakuni Yoriichi's strength had expanded.
In Garp's opinion, even though Tsugikuni Yoriichi's strength has not yet reached the T0 tier, he is fully qualified to be called the top combat force of the navy.
It was precisely because he felt the increase in Tsugikuni Yoriichi's strength that Garp felt a deep sense of unease in his heart.
Boys like Yuichiro Tsugikuni's age happen to be at the stage where they have the most ideas and want to prove their abilities the most. At the same time, boys of this age are often full of passion.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi is a person who hates evil and now that he has such powerful power, it is hard to say that Yoriichi will not act out of line in handling things.
Garp has been a navy for so many years and has seen too many young people who have been blinded by power and authority and have gone astray.
Not long ago, Yoriichi Tsugikuni slaughtered CP0 members in front of Admiral Sengoku and other naval officers, and now he has killed CP9 members.
Even though many high-ranking officials in the Marine Headquarters are protecting Yoriichi Tsugikuni, there is no guarantee that Marine Marshal Sora and some people in the World Government will think too much.
After the CP0 massacre, the reason why Tsugakuni Yoriichi was still able to roam freely on the sea was, on the one hand, because he had the merit of killing the Golden Lion to back him up, and on the other hand, the Navy Headquarters and even the World Government believed that Tsugakuni Yoriichi's existence was beneficial to the Navy and the World Government.
A delicate balance is formed between the two.
But once the balance is unbalanced, I'm afraid that Tsugikoku Yoshiichi will face a devastating disaster.
And now, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's killing of CP9 members in the Seven Water City is equivalent to adding weight to the scales. If this incident is not handled properly, it will definitely touch the sensitive nerves of certain people in the World Government and cause irreparable consequences.
It is precisely because of these considerations that Garp was so angry when he saw that Yoriichi Tsugikuni still had the leisure to "cultivate" with his companions.
He really didn't want to see a talented young man like Yoshiichi Tsugikuni take a path completely different from the navy.
As the guide of Yoriichi Tsugikuni and a good friend of Zephyr, Garp absolutely cannot bear to see such a thing happen.
After watching Yoriichi Tsugakuni remain silent for a long time, Garp finally received some "information" brought by Koshiro.
After spreading out the confession and taking a quick look at it, the solemnity on Karp's face did not dissipate even a little bit.
Without even looking at the footage recorded in the video Den Den Mushi that Koshiro handed him, Garp raised his head and looked intently at Tsugikuni Yoriichi, sighed, and said:
"Young people are young people after all."
"Do you think you handled this matter perfectly?!"
"You bastard! I don't know what that bastard Zefa was teaching you! As a marine, how could you act so impulsively?!"
"The key to this matter is not who is right or wrong, the key is you, Tsugikoku Yoriichi!"
"You, a guy with a bad record of killing CP0, have attacked an official of the World Government again!"
"Do you know that because of your impulsiveness, the things that were originally suppressed may be brought up again?"
"And you did it in front of those civilians. Do you know how bad the impact will be?"
Garp held the file in one hand and roared at Yuichiro Tsugakuin who was not far away. As he spoke, Garp seemed to be unable to control his anger and slammed his fist to the ground with a "bang". Everyone could see the frustration in his expression.
"Is the impact bad?! I don't think so. I'm afraid those shipbuilders are applauding right now."
"I'm glad that our navy was able to correct CP9's mistakes in a timely manner."
Seeing Garp's anger, Tsugakuin Yoriichi remained calm and smiled. Tsugakuin Yoriichi's understanding of the World Government was rather one-sided. He felt that the World Government that would allow the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" system to continue in the future was not as strong as he had imagined.
With his current combat capability, he is just helping CP9 to "correct mistakes". From the perspective of the World Government, he will probably continue to be tolerated.
Since Garp is from this world and has been in the navy for many years, he has a deep understanding of the "darkness" and "power" of the World Government, so he feels that the World Government will not tolerate such things.
However, in Yunyi's opinion, things have not yet developed to the worst extent.
"You little brat"
"Do you think that with your current power, you can't be ignored?! That's why you're so unscrupulous?"
Garp's anger dissipated when he heard Yunyi's rebuttal. He looked at Yunyi and asked in a deep voice. At the same time, he prayed in his heart, "I hope this kid doesn't act recklessly just because he thinks he's strong enough!"
When Ji Guoyuan heard this, he smiled and shook his head. He turned his head slightly and glanced at Yixiao, Mihawk and others beside him one by one. Then he answered to Garp:
"Vice-Admiral Garp, the strength of your own power is only one factor."
"More importantly, I think doing this is justice!"
At this point, Yunyi continued, "Vice Admiral Garp, could you please contact Morgans? I think he would be very interested in reporting on how the Navy helped CP9 correct its mistakes!"
Hearing this, Garp's expression changed slightly. He did not directly answer Tsugikuni Yoriichi's words, but instead warned:
"During this period of time, you will stay on this island and wait for your warship to be completed."
"I will report this matter to Zhan Guo for you."
"Before the warship is finished, call me and I'll come and take you to the New World."
"Where are those CP9s? I want them taken away!"
Hearing Garp's question, Cyrus quickly pointed in the direction of the camp and led Garp in the direction. When passing by Yixiao, Garp suddenly stopped, looked at Yixiao, and then suddenly grabbed Yixiao's shoulder and said earnestly:
"A smile!"
"That's what I'll call you."
"Among those with Yunyi, I see that you are the oldest, the most stable, and your strength is also very outstanding."
"When working with Yunyi, you should remind him more often and not let him do whatever he wants. This is what you and your lieutenants should do."
As Garp spoke, he looked at Cyrus, Koshiro and others who were also wearing navy uniforms and standing next to the open space, and shouted instructions.
Sure enough, Cyrus didn't tell Cap too many details on the phone.
If Garp knew that the person smiling in front of him was the one who had decisively followed Yoshiichiro's order and killed CP9, I wonder what his expression would be like.
"Yes, Vice Admiral Garp, I will."
Yixiao was a rather thick-skinned fellow. Facing Garp's request, he actually complied without blushing or beating his heart. This made Yuanyi, who heard this, unable to help but look towards Yixiao.
Afterwards, Garp took the CP9 members away. It was no longer Yoriichi's business how the Navy would deal with these people. There was a high probability that they would be released, but there was a small probability that they would be punished within CP9.
But they won't die after all. However, one thing is certain, these CP9 will most likely never appear in the Water City again.
After the matter was settled, Yunyi called on his companions to pick up shovels and other tools and repair the open space in the camp.
This place is rented. If the landlord saw the vacant lot turned into such a horrible state, he would probably be kicked out immediately!
Less than three days after Garp and CP9 left Water City, a newspaper containing a piece of breaking news was distributed around the world.
Shocking! The righteous navy saved the government's face!
The headline on the front page of the newspaper contained this line of text. As the newspaper circulated, what happened in Water Seven City also reached the headquarters of the Navy and the ears of some people in the World Government.
In the end, Garp did as Yoriichi said.
Morgans is willing to do anything for the sake of popularity. He is not afraid of being liquidated at all.
This news was like dropping a bombshell into this calm ocean.
