Chapter 283: The Converging World Line! (Two in One)
When Garp's warship arrived at the coast, Yoriichi Tsugakuni was processing documents in his office.
In the Kingdom of Solbe, there are very few people he can use.
If it is a battle, there are still many people on Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's side who can fight together, but there are not many people who can help him deal with administrative affairs.
Mihawk has his own goals to pursue. He follows Yoriichi Tsugakuni not to help him "do work". Yoriichi has also persuaded Mihawk to help him, but Mihawk scoffed at Yoriichi Tsugakuni's request.
Although Xiong wanted to help, he was ultimately unable to do so.
Among the people brought from Dressrosa, it was the young Robin who was able to help Yoriichi Tsugakuni with many things. The sensible girl consciously acted as Yoriichi Tsugakuni's "administrative secretary".
However, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni was also very clear that Robin was too young after all, and children still needed to have a happy childhood, so he often asked Irene to take Robin out to play.
Warm sunlight shines into the office through the windowsill.
Behind the desk, Tsugumi Yuichiro suddenly put down the documents in his hand, raised his head and looked out the window.
Next to Yuichiro Tsugakuni, Robin was kneeling on a chair, leaning his head to look at the documents in Yuichiro Tsugakuni's hand, his brows slightly furrowed, his little face full of thought.
Noticing that Jiguoyuan was distracted, Robin tilted his head slightly and asked:
"General, what's wrong with you?"
"Are you tired?"
Upon hearing this, Yunyi withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at Robin who looked concerned, smiled and shook his head.
"No, a senior came to the Kingdom of Solbe."
"I heard from Cyrus that he had been to Dressrosa before. I thought he would go to the East Sea, but I didn't expect him to come to my place."
Ji Guoyuan explained with a smile, then put his head on his hands and looked at the ceiling.
After a while, Ji Guoyuan stood up, walked to the sofa and sat down, and at the same time took out a cup and tea leaves from the shelf under the coffee table and started making tea.
Seeing this, Robin immediately jumped off the chair, walked silently to the side of Yuichiro Tsugakuin, and helped pass him hot water.
"Thank you, little Robin."
"Let's go out and play. You must be tired after staying with me for the whole morning."
Yunyi took the hot water and said to Robin with a smile.
"I'm not tired."
"It's reassuring to be with you, General."
Robin heard this, smiled and shook his head.
In front of Yuichiro Tsugakuin, Robin does not need to hide her inner thoughts, because Yuichiro Tsugakuin knows her biggest secret. Therefore, when getting along with Yuichiro Tsugakuin, Robin does not need to be cautious for fear of exposing anything.
Moreover, Yoriichi Tsugakuni is kind and gentle, and Robin feels very relaxed when she is with Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
This feeling had never appeared even in Dressrosa. When interacting with other people, no matter how much they cared about Robin, Robin always felt that there was something between them.
It was a feeling that was hard to explain, and Robin himself didn't know why.
"Privately, you can just call me Big Brother, just like Irene."
"General, General, this is a bit awkward."
"Go play."
Jiguo Yuanyi patted Robin's head and said with a smile.
When it comes to Robin and Irene, Tsugumi Yoriichi already treats them as his own juniors.
He brought the two into the navy himself, and he would fulfill his responsibilities towards Robin and Irene and guide them well.
"Um!"
Robin nodded slightly, opened the office door and prepared to leave. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw a team of navy officers coming towards him.
The leader, whom Robin had seen in the internal intelligence of the Navy, was the Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, known as the hero Garp.
Behind Garp was Bogart, a sword hanging from his waist, and on the other side was a half-grown boy holding a long sword at his side.
Robin knew that child. He was the son of Teacher Lu Ju of the Dressrosa Naval Academy.
"Ace?"
"Why are you here?"
It is now the year 1506 in the Haiyuan calendar. Ace is only 5 years old. The moment Robin saw Ace, she exclaimed in surprise. She did not expect that Ace, who was so young, would appear here.
"Hmm?"
"Robin~"
Seeing Robin, Ace smiled and waved. Robin was a very special girl in the Naval Academy. Although she was young, she mastered knowledge very quickly, faster than those teenagers who were fifteen or sixteen years old.
Therefore, Robin was very popular with teachers when she was at the Naval Academy in Dressrosa. Teachers often asked Robin to act as a "helper" and do things like distributing homework to other students and organizing students.
As time went by, Robin had a good relationship with many teachers, and Ace, as Lu Ju's son, often appeared in Lu Ju's office, so naturally he got to know Robin.
Ace had a deep impression of Robin, the smart older sister.
"Huh?"
"Do you know each other?"
"Is Yunyi still going out to sea with such a young child?"
"snort!"
"That boy, Yunyi, is very understanding! Excellent marines need to be trained from a young age, so why doesn't he take Ace with him to sea?!"
Garp raised his eyebrows when he saw Ace and Robin greeting each other, and his eyes also swept over Robin, who was wearing a navy sailor uniform.
Robin's sailor suit was no different from the uniforms of other navy officers. As soon as Garp finished speaking, he touched his chin, with some thought in his eyes.
After a while, Garp's eyes moved away from Robin, and without knocking on the door, he strode directly into the office. As soon as he entered the office, he shouted to Ji Guoyuan who was lying on the sofa:
"Hello!"
"Boy!"
"I'm here to see you!"
"You look very energetic, Yunyi."
Garp strode into the office, and his loud voice immediately filled Yunyi's ears.
"You're still the same, Vice Admiral Garp."
Yuichi Tsuchiya stood up and stretched out his hand to the sofa in front of him. Garp walked around to the sofa and sat down without any hesitation. He turned his head and took a quick look around Yuichi Tsuchiya's office with a smile on his face.
"Um!"
"Not bad, quite simple. He's a man who gets things done."
"I really am the best at leading the navy, hahahaha!"
Garp started boasting, and at the end, he actually laughed out loud.
Not long after Garp sat down, Bogart also walked into the office. Unlike Garp, this "old" navy, who had joined the navy many years earlier than Tsugakuni Yoriichi, bowed respectfully in the direction of Tsugakuni Yoriichi.
"Adjutant Bogart, please sit down and have some tea."
"This tea is from the South China Sea. It's probably not available on the Grand Line."
Facing Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's invitation, Bogart waved his hand and refused, "I won't drink. You and Vice Admiral Garp can drink it."
After saying that, Bogart stood behind Cap without saying a word.
"Leave this stubborn guy alone."
"Yuichi, you've been staying in the Solbe Kingdom for so long, what are you planning to do?"
"When do you plan to return to Dressrosa?"
Garp glanced sideways at Bogart, then picked up the teacup on the table and asked Jiguo Yuanyi.
"I have no intention of returning to Dressrosa for the time being. The naval base there has been established for some time."
"Besides, with Lieutenant General Cyrus in charge, I feel at ease. It doesn't matter whether I go back or not."
"Besides, don't you know why I'm in the South China Sea?"
"If Long's revolutionary army continues to be active in the South China Sea, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while."
In response to Garp's question, Jiguo Yuan answered with a smile.
"So, do you plan to stay in the South China Sea forever?"
"It's a waste of talent for a guy like you to stay in a place like this!"
"There are so many great pirates in the New World."
Garp pondered after hearing Tsugakuni Yoriichi's answer. He was a little confused about Tsugakuni Yoriichi's purpose. If, as Tsugakuni Yoriichi said, he came to the South Sea for the Revolutionary Army, then the South Sea should not have been so peaceful for nearly a year.
He didn't believe that with Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's ability, he couldn't find any trace of the Revolutionary Army for such a long time.
Although Karp has now retreated to the second line, his attention to the situation has never diminished.
"Unworthy of talent?"
"How could this be?"
"Here, I can still help many people, and even more people."
"From an efficiency perspective, it's better to actually improve people's lives than to aimlessly chase after those great pirates in the New World."
Jiguo Yuanyi said with a smile. When Garp heard such pragmatic words suddenly, he nodded secretly in his heart, but soon he realized that this was probably Jiguo Yuanyi's perfunctory words to him.
He knew Yuichiro Tsugakuni very well and knew that he would definitely not be satisfied with just the immediate results. Garp always knew that Yuichiro Tsugakuni had very ambitious goals.
However, Garp did not expose Tsugikoku Yoriichi, grinned and said:
"Um!"
"Your decision cannot be said to be wrong. Ultimately, the navy exists to ensure the lives of more people."
"As an admiral of the navy, you are not only required to carry out various missions, but I also hope that you will shoulder the responsibility of guiding the next generation of navy."
"Inheritance is also very important to the navy."
"Yuichi, a person's life is only a few decades long. Many things cannot be solved in one generation."
“Only by passing on your ideals can the world you long for come true.”
"Who is that girl?"
As Garp spoke, he turned slightly, pointed at Robin who was chatting with Ace outside the door, and asked Yunyi.
"Robin?"
"He's an outstanding student at the Dressrosa Naval Academy. He's a very smart kid. I'm bringing him along to teach him."
Hearing this, Garp let out a soft "Oh?"
"I heard that when you left Dressrosa, you took two children with you. The other one is..."
Yunyi's gaze lingered on Ace outside the door for a moment, and then he smiled and replied, "She's called Irene, an orphan, but she's born with supernatural powers and is very talented."
Hearing this, Garp nodded and waved to Bogart. Bogart saw the gesture and turned to leave Tsugakuko Yoshiichi's office, closing the door behind him when he left.
Seeing the door closed, Garp turned around and looked intently at Tsugikoku Yoriichi, and asked in a deep voice:
"That Ace."
"What are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Jiguo Yuanyi's expression remained unchanged, and he said casually: "Let nature take its course. When he's a few years older, I'll send him to the Naval Academy and let him grow up with friends of the same age."
"He's also a very smart kid with great potential."
What Tsugikuni Yoriichi said was not what Garp wanted to hear.
"snort!"
"Your naval school can't produce top-notch sailors!"
"Ace is different from others, you should know that clearly."
Upon hearing this, Ji Guoyuan raised his head slightly and replied with a smile, "What do you mean? I don't understand."
When Garp saw what Tsugakugo said, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he grinned and said:
"I want to take that boy away. His mother, Lu Jiu, has agreed."
"I will train him personally. When he is 15 years old, I will bring him back to the Naval Headquarters and enroll him in the Naval School there, where Zephyr will teach him personally."
"I will train him to be a better navy than you!"
Garp said with a grin.
Hearing what he said, Yoshiichi Tsugikuni looked at Garp helplessly.
He didn't know where Garp got the confidence to train Ace into an outstanding navy.
After hearing what Garp said, Yoriichi Tsugakuin was also wondering why Rouge could agree to let such a young child leave her arms.
After all, Yoriichi Tsugikuni still underestimated Rouge, the Pirate King's wife.
Lu Jiu knew very well that her child who inherited the blood of the Pirate King would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future. She was also very relieved about Garp because Roger had often told her about it.
Lu Ju did not object to Garp's personal training of Ace.
"As long as his mother agrees."
"But 15 is too late. Bring him back to Dressrosa when he's 12. First, he'll have some basic training at the Naval Academy, and then we can send him to Zephyr-sensei."
As for Ace, Yoriichi Tsugakuni's attitude is to let things take their course and he doesn't want to interfere too much.
Ace is still young, so it may not be a bad thing to let Garp take care of him. At least, he should have a "happy childhood".
Yoshikazu Tsugakuni himself really doesn't have much time to take care of the child, and as Garp said, the Naval Academy in Dressrosa cannot meet Ace's growth needs.
Seeing that Tsugakuin Yoshiichi had no objection, Garp looked at Tsugakuin Yoshiichi with a little surprise. Seeing that Yoshiichi had a calm expression when he said this, Garp could not help but ask:
"Aren't you worried at all about me taking the child away?"
Hearing this, Yunyi looked at Garp strangely and asked, "Ace's guardian is Lu Jiu, she has agreed, why should I worry?"
"Hmm" Garp was choked by Yunyi's words.
He didn't expect that Yoriichi Tsugakuni would have such a calm attitude towards the Pirate King's child.
"Hahaha, worthy of you."
"By the way, Yoriichi."
"I have grandchildren."
"When he grows up a little, I'll let him study at the Naval Academy in Dressrosa."
Garp said with a grin on his face.
"Congratulations, Vice Admiral Garp."
"I hope your grandson will not be like a dragon, but will become an outstanding navy."
Jiguo Yuanyi said with a smile, and his words made Garp laugh awkwardly.
"Hahaha, for sure!"
Garp seemed not to hear the sarcasm in Yuan's words and spoke confidently.
After the two chatted for a while, Yunyi took Garp and others for a walk on the street.
Young Ace is full of energy. He left home at a young age, but he didn't miss his mother at all. Instead, he was very interested in the new and interesting things on the street that he had never seen before.
His natural love of adventure and new things was clearly revealed in front of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Garp and Yoriichi toured the city scenery of the Kingdom of Solbe together. As they saw more and more places, Garp's gaze towards Yoriichi Tsugakuni became more and more profound.
Cap has been to many countries and has seen both the good and bad sides of the world.
He had been to the Kingdom of Solbe before, and this country had changed a lot.
And these changes were brought about by Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Garp, Ace and others stayed in the Solbe Kingdom for three days and then left in a hurry. They said that Garp had to go back to the Navy Headquarters.
In the evening, the blood-red sunset is reflected on the sea.
Ji Guoyuan looked at the dog-head warship slowly moving away and let out a soft sigh.
"Destiny is truly a wonderful thing."
After watching the warship disappear from his sight, Ji Guoyuan turned around and walked towards the base.
At this moment, a navy officer ran towards Tsugakuni Yoshiichi and shouted to him:
"general!"
"It appeared! That thing appeared!"
