Chapter 193 Let Me Tell You a Secret?! (Two in One)
In the office, Sengoku behaved abnormally when he learned that Roger was captured by Tsugakugo Yoshiichi and others.
There was no way he could not lose his composure after hearing such shocking news. Pirate King Roger was a contemporary of his. Although he had disappeared for a while after Roger became the Pirate King, his strength was unquestionable.
As the admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Sengoku had fought against Roger several times and knew how difficult the opponent was.
Even if he and Garp joined forces and cooperated with a group of naval officers, they still could not defeat Roger's pirate group.
But now someone told him that Yoriichi Tsugakuni and his men had captured the Pirate King Roger.
Although Sengoku acknowledged the genius of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, he still couldn't believe such news.
The Dawn branch of the navy, which was established less than a year ago, and Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who had been a member of the navy for less than three years, captured the Pirate King Roger?!
“Fake news!”
He couldn't help but curse in his heart, and lowered his head to look at the Den Den Mushi receiver in his hand. Although he thought so in his heart, Zhan Guo also took this news seriously.
The person who reported to him was Cyrus. He had an impression of this young man, a very upright person, who would not lie to him. And even if he did, it would not be about something like this, because the impact was too great, and if it was fake news, it would be easily exposed.
After figuring out the key points, Zhan Guo took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, put down the receiver, and walked out of the office.
Such news was beyond the ability of a general like him to digest!
Soon, Zhan Guo came to the office of Navy Marshal Gang Gu Kong, and then told Gang Gu Kong everything that Cyrus reported to him.
Hearing the news that Pirate King Roger was captured, Steel Bone Kong was stunned and confused. He seemed not to have heard clearly what Zhan Guo said, and asked blankly:
"What did you just say?"
"Roger was captured by Tsugikoku Yoriichi and his gang? Which Roger?"
The news was so shocking that even someone like Gang Gukong, who had been in a high position for many years, found it difficult to digest it for a while.
"Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King Roger!"
"Cyrus from the Dwan branch reported this."
Zhan Guo reiterated the information he had received, his face full of seriousness.
“.”
After hearing Zhan Guo's confirmation again, Gang Gu Kong fell silent. He sat behind his desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, Ganggukong asked Zhan Guo:
"Where's Tsugikoku Yoriichi? Have you contacted him? Is this news reliable?!"
Steel Bone Sora's heart told him that such a major event should not be a false report. But his reason also told him that it was unrealistic for a naval branch to capture the Pirate King alive.
If someone told him today that Yoshiichi Tsugakuin killed Roger, Sora Satoru would be able to believe it a little. After all, Yoshiichi Tsugakuin had already had a terrifying record of killing the Golden Lion. Although killing Roger was still outrageous, Sora Satoru would not think it was impossible.
But capturing alive and killing are two completely different concepts, and the difficulty is simply incomparable.
"We haven't been able to contact Tsugikuni Yoriichi yet. From what Cyrus said, the branch is under considerable pressure right now."
"The news seems to have spread. Dressrosa is a mixed bag right now, and Tsugikuni Yoriichi is very busy."
"But I think the news should be reliable. Neither Cyrus nor Tsugikuni Yoriichi would joke about such a thing."
In response to Ganggu Kong's question, Zhan Guo said affirmatively.
Although the news was shocking, Zhan Guo knew that Tsugakuni Yoriichi would not joke about such a thing. He knew Tsugakuni Yoriichi and he was not the kind of person who spoke nonsense.
Hearing this, Ganggu Kong nodded. He asked this not because he did not trust Zhan Guo, but because he simply wanted to hear a positive answer from Zhan Guo.
Because at this moment, he was trying to convince himself to believe the news.
"Sengoku, notify Garp, Crane, and Zephyr and have them come to my office!"
"quick!"
After believing the news in his heart, Ganggu Kong made a quick decision and immediately asked Zhan Guo to notify several senior officials in the navy.
Faced with such a situation, their naval headquarters must take action as soon as possible to prevent any changes.
Soon, Garp and the others, summoned by Sora Steel, arrived at his office. Both Tsuru and Garp were Vice Admirals at headquarters. With the Navy still preparing to exert its full influence in the New World, these two top Navy forces would not easily leave Marine Headquarters.
As for Sengoku, as an admiral, it is his duty to be stationed in Marineford. And Zephyr, as the chief instructor of the navy, will not leave the navy headquarters unless he takes new recruits out to sea for training.
Therefore, soon, these senior executives gathered in Gangukong's office.
"What happened? Why did you call me here in such a hurry?"
"Oh? Not only me, but also Tsuru-chan and Zephyr were called?"
"It seems like something really big has happened!"
The door of the office was pushed open, and Garp walked into the office with a "Navy Specialty" in one hand. He looked around the office and saw Crane, Zephyr and others who were already sitting on the sofa, and said with a smile.
At Cybernetic Sora's signal, Garp sat down on the single sofa on the other side, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
"Tell me, why did you call us over here?"
Zephyr looked up at Garp and saw that everyone was there. He crossed his arms over his chest and asked Cyborg Sora.
Steel Bone Sora looked at Zhan Guo, who, upon receiving the signal, stood up and announced to everyone:
"News from the Navy's Dwan Branch"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zefa looked up at Zhan Guo and couldn't help but interrupt: "Is it Yunyi?"
"Ah, it's Tsugikoku Yoriichi's branch."
"Dwan Branch reports that they have captured the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger!"
As soon as Zhan Guo finished speaking, Garp jumped up from the sofa and shouted, "What! Roger?"
"Captured by Tsugikoku Yoriichi and the others? How is that possible?"
Ignoring the excited Garp, Sengoku turned to look at Zephyr and Crane and continued:
"The news was reported by Cyrus from the branch. So far, I haven't been able to contact Yoriichi Tsugikuni."
"However, there should be no doubt about the authenticity of the news."
Hearing what Zhan Guo said, He quickly adjusted his mentality, nodded slightly, and began to think about what their navy should do if this news was accurate.
Zefa was slightly stunned. After a long moment, a brilliant smile appeared on his face. Then, Zefa seemed unable to restrain his emotions. He ignored Steel Bone Sora and Warring States in the office and laughed out loud:
“Hahahahahaha!!!”
“Well done!”
"That brat Yunyi has done something big again!"
“Hahahahahaha!”
Looking at the out-of-control Garp and Zephyr, Cyborg Sora couldn't help but cover his forehead, feeling a terrible headache.
"The Marshal summoned you here to discuss the next plan with you."
"However, before that, we must first confirm the accuracy of the news."
"At the same time, bring Roger back to the Navy Headquarters."
As he spoke, Zhan Guo walked to the side and sat down.
Ganggukong also took over the conversation at this moment, following Zhan Guo's thoughts and said:
"Garp, Sengoku, please go to Dressrosa."
"I'm worried about someone else doing this. Go to the Dawn branch to confirm the accuracy of the information. If it's true, the task of extraditing Roger will be left to you two."
"The successful capture of Pirate King Roger is our navy's greatest achievement in the past decade!"
"This will herald a milestone victory for our navy and pirates in this long struggle."
"We must be extremely alert and treat this matter with all our heart!"
Gang Gukong said in a deep voice, and when he said this, Gang Gukong's face was full of solemnity.
“Boom boom boom!”
Just then, someone suddenly knocked on the office door.
Ganggukong frowned, glanced at Zhan Guo and the others, stopped talking, and shouted loudly to the door: "What's going on? They're in a meeting!"
"Come back later if nothing urgent!"
I thought the people outside the door would retreat, but unexpectedly, a sharp shout came from outside the door:
"Marshal Steel Bone Sora, something big has happened, something very big has happened!!"
Hearing this, without waiting for Ganggukong to speak, Zhan Guo stood up naturally, walked to the door and opened it.
Then, a young green-haired navy soldier rushed into the office with a roll of newspaper in his hand, ran directly to Cyborg Kong's desk, and placed the newspaper on Cyborg Kong's desk.
"Hey, Branny, what's all the fuss about?"
Zhan Guo knew the navy man who ran into the office, and seeing the other party's loss of composure, he couldn't help but remind him.
"Sorry!"
"Warring States General."
"Big deal. Big deal!"
Brannew came in a hurry, and I don’t know if it was because he was tired or nervous, but his breathing was very rapid.
As he spoke, his fingers trembled slightly and kept pointing at the newspaper on the table.
Gang Gukong looked at it strangely, then picked up the newspaper and read it carefully.
At just one glance, Gang Gukong's pupils suddenly shrank.
On the front page of this newspaper, there is a color photo that rarely appears in newspapers.
In the center of the photo is a red-haired boy wearing a naval officer's uniform. There is a long bloodstain on the boy's chest. It seems that he has suffered a serious injury.
However, it was not only this young man who caught Kong Gang's attention. In the team behind the young man, a middle-aged man with "thick nose hair" and handcuffs on his hands caught his attention.
If he was not mistaken, the middle-aged man who was trapped in the team was the one wanted by their navy - Pirate King Roger!
"It seems that the accuracy of the news does not need to be confirmed."
"The news spread so quickly."
As he spoke, Ganggukong stood up, grabbed the newspaper, walked to the sofa, and threw the newspaper on the coffee table.
Garp looked intently at the newspaper, and saw several familiar figures on it. He immediately reached out to grab the newspaper, but Zefa got there first and grabbed the newspaper.
"Hey, Zephyr!"
Garp complained, quickly leaning his head over Zephyr's shoulder and looking at the newspaper in his hand. After glancing at the photos for a few seconds, Garp focused his attention on the report on the front page of the newspaper.
"Pirate King Roger is captured, and a new legend of the Navy is born!"
The headline was eye-catching and the narrative was exaggerated, but when Cap and the others saw the report, they did not feel the slightest bit out of place.
"Garp, Sengoku, the two of you will leave for Dressrosa immediately!"
"Right now, I'm afraid Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and the others are under tremendous pressure."
The news was confirmed, and Sora made a quick decision. After carefully reviewing the report, Garp quickly stood up and left the office to prepare for the voyage.
"That kid really did something big!" He glanced at the newspaper in Zefa's hand and finally couldn't help but sigh.
When Zefa heard what He said, the smile on his face became even wider, and he couldn't help laughing a few times.
As Garp and Sengoku left, the naval base at the headquarters began to bustle. Some officers who were originally on leave were urgently summoned to the warships to follow Sengoku's ship, No. 0, out on the voyage.
In less than an hour, more than ten warships set out from the port in a mighty force.
No one knew how Morgans got the news that the Navy had successfully captured Roger, but in just one day, the news had begun to spread around the world.
On an island in the New World, the Whitebeard Pirates who were resting on the island also received the newspaper delivered by the News Bird.
"Roger, this brat, is this your choice?"
"Gulala!"
"Are you stupid?"
Whitebeard looked at the newspaper his son had brought him, and at the red-haired boy in the center of the newspaper, and laughed. However, there was no trace of "happiness" in Whitebeard's laughter, but rather a bitter tone.
Roger met him before turning himself in, and Whitebeard was also aware of Roger's situation.
Who could have thought that Pirate King Roger would actually plan to end his life in this way.
In Whitebeard's opinion, it was really a loss of face to be defeated by a little kid in the navy.
Whitebeard was not the only one who received the news. Members of Roger's pirate group scattered around the world also received the news one after another.
"Captain Roger!!"
On an island in the East China Sea, Shanks clutched the newspaper tightly in his hand, crying his eyes out, and a hoarse growl came out of his throat.
After staying on Roger's ship for so many years, Shanks has long regarded Roger as his father.
As the news of Roger's arrest spread, the sea became even more turbulent.
Barrett, who had once been on the Roger Pirates' ship for a while, refused to accept such news and began to run wild, wreaking havoc on the towns he passed by.
At the same time, Barrett also set his sights on the Dwan branch of the Navy in Dressrosa. It goes without saying what he plans to do.
Barrett is not the only pirate targeting Dressrosa.
Those pirates who admired Roger began to take action, and endless dark clouds enveloped Dressrosa.
“Huahuahuahua——”
Construction on the Navy Dawn is nearing completion, with some buildings already operational. Dressrosa, plagued by drought, finally received a torrential downpour today.
Ji Guoyuan sat in front of the windowsill, looking at the heavy rain outside with an inexplicable expression.
"Kid, you look very worried!"
A deep voice sounded in the room.
At this time, there was not only Jiguo Yuanyi in the room. In a corner of the house, Roger was lying on the stone bed with a comfortable look on his face, looking at Jiguo Yuanyi who was sitting in front of the windowsill, and asked with a smile.
“Of course.”
"You, the Pirate King, are here with me. I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in a while."
"There have been a lot of people of unknown origin appearing in Dressrosa recently. Since they are not wanted, I cannot act rashly."
"But it's not easy to be on guard against thieves all day long!"
Jigoku Yoshiichi sighed lightly and complained to Roger.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Being in the navy really does restrict your hands and feet."
"Hey, do you want to be a pirate? Feel the freedom of life?"
Roger laughed when he heard this, put his hands on his head, looked up at the ceiling and said.
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi ignored Roger and remained silent.
After a long time, Roger suddenly said to Tsugikoku Yoshiichi:
"Boy, I'm very optimistic about you."
"Shall I tell you a secret?"
As Roger spoke, he turned his head to look at Tsugakuin Yoshiichi. Seeing that Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was still indifferent, Roger said to himself:
"Kid, if you're lucky enough to get a devil fruit called the 'Gum Fruit' in the future, you can eat it yourself!"
"If it were you."
At this point, Roger changed his tone and said with a smile:
"That fruit will help you."
