Sengoku took a deep breath, feeling very confused.
It could be said that ever since Ryuma appeared, he had been constantly brooding over it.
He felt that Ryuma's appearance was not a coincidence. After Ryuma appeared, it seemed like he had disrupted his life routine.
Of course, besides Sengoku's personal issues, he felt that Ryuma's appearance had completely disrupted the balance of the world.
Before, the Shichibukai had suppressed some ordinary pirates, and the World Government used them to suppress those armed forces, thus protecting the interests of various countries. As for the World Government headquarters, such as CP9, CP0, and other organizations, including the three Marine Admirals, they restrained the Yonko.
The Yonko's strength was actually about the same. There was Whitebeard, Shanks, Charlotte Linlin, also known as Big Mom, and the last one was Kaido. The strength of these four could be said to be evenly matched, and their pirate crews were definitely not weak either.
But unexpectedly... now Kaido was killed, and Ryuma appeared, someone who could suppress all the Yonko!
Of course, these were just Sengoku's thoughts. But Sengoku had never seen Ryuma, so he didn't know Ryuma's specific combat strength. He only knew that Ryuma had taken over all of Kaido's old territory. This meant that he had to choose a time to quickly eliminate Ryuma. Either he would recruit Ryuma or he would have to eliminate him!
This kind of person, if he lived, would probably only bring disaster to the World Government.
Of course, Sengoku wasn't actually afraid of that. What he was most afraid of was that Ryuma was born in the 100 years of blank history.
Sengoku had heard stories about Ryuma, but he still couldn't verify whether Ryuma was really from that era. If he was, then he was a remnant from the 100 years of blank history.
Who doesn't talk?
Only dead people don't talk.
If that was the case, Ryuma's death wouldn't cause them any harm. But if Ryuma was alive, it wouldn't be the same. Who knows if this guy would leak secrets? That was the most taboo thing in the World Government.
At this time, Garp stood up and said, "Old friend, you shouldn't be so harsh... those guys tried their best. Besides, it was that ignorant apprentice who used our people as hostages. If it weren't for their threats, Ryuma would have been dead by now. Who knows who would have won?"
Akainu glared fiercely and said slowly, "I don't need you to speak for me. I think you're right, Fleet Admiral. You made us bring those Marines with us. They were completely a burden!"
Hearing this, Sengoku frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"Their strength was useless on the warship. Besides, the terrain of Wano Country is complex. After we charged in, they wouldn't dare to move around outside the waters. We were about to succeed. It was because of those useless people that things turned out like this. In my opinion, next time we go on a mission, we shouldn't bring those people... This time, I'm giving Yuan Shui Ning face. Otherwise, next time, I'll kill all those Marines. I won't let them be my stumbling blocks!"
"Nonsense!" Sengoku suddenly stood up, "You're being ridiculous! Even the most ordinary recruits, you shouldn't punish them like this. Don't forget that they are our people. They are soldiers we trained ourselves. If you really dare to kill our people, I think you're not far from being dismissed."
Akainu was instantly enraged by Sengoku. His face turned red, and he slowly said word by word, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I don't agree with your point of view... to be honest, aren't you also trying to maintain the overall situation in your position? Sometimes, many things you do are not wrong. But you must order them to be killed. Why? True justice is maintained with blood. It's better to kill a hundred innocent people than to let one guilty person escape. That's my principle. That's the justice in my heart. If I kill a hundred innocent people and catch the one guilty person, then I might be able to save tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people."
After Akainu finished speaking, Sengoku was furious. Sengoku stared straight ahead, gritted his teeth, and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you lecturing me?"
"I wouldn't dare. I'm just doing things according to my own justice!"
Garp saw the two of them arguing fiercely. He quickly stood up, acting as a peacemaker. He said with a smile, "Alright, you two stop arguing. As for what justice is, we'll talk about it when we get back... Now, we should do some real work."
When Garp said this, Sengoku clearly noticed a hint of disappointment in Garp's eyes.
At this time, Sengoku quickly said, "Yes, you're right. We must go to Loguetown."
Sengoku finished speaking, and he glared at Akainu, saying word by word, "As for what justice is, it's no use talking about it now... We'll know when the time comes."
"Alright, then we'll discuss what justice is then?" When Akainu said this, magma was constantly rolling all over his body.
Garp was a hero of the Marines. He had driven Pirate King Gol D. Roger to a dead end many times in the Grand Line and the New World. So, he was revered by everyone in the Marines. He had already become a god in their hearts.
When the World Government wanted to promote Garp to Admiral, Garp kept refusing.
Garp didn't have many desires. He felt that the higher the position, the more worries he would have. Garp was originally a carefree person. If he became an Admiral, then maybe...
Maybe his life would be miserable then.
But what everyone didn't know was that Garp, after chasing Pirate King Gol D. Roger many times, had formed a certain friendship with him.
So, when Pirate King Gol D. Roger was going to be executed in Loguetown, Garp wouldn't go to watch, and he wouldn't stop it.
Garp would just stay in his office and silently say goodbye to his old friend as he left this world.
...
At the same time, in a different place.
In Loguetown.
A huge warship landed directly on the coast.
After all... the East Blue was relatively backward. They hadn't seen these strange things before. When they saw this scene, they quickly gathered around, their faces filled with surprise.
They had never seen an aircraft carrier before, such as in the East Blue, and other seas, including the Grand Line and the New World, hadn't seen anything like it either.
Putting the Starship aside, to be honest, among the West Blue, South Blue, North Blue, and East Blue, the East Blue is the weakest sea. The things in the other three seas, the people of the East Blue might not have even seen them.
At this time, Jack looked at the town and said awkwardly, "Isn't this just an ordinary town?"
"It is."
Ryuma nodded slightly and said, leaping off the ship.
Jack swallowed his saliva and said, "If that's the case, why execute the Pirate King here? Wouldn't it be better in Marineford? Executing the Pirate King in the East Blue, that's not taking Roger seriously at all. Or maybe they're not giving Roger any face. After all, he was the king of an era. The Marines are truly despicable."
"Not at all." Ryuma said with a smile.
"Grand Marshal, what do you mean?" Queen frowned and said. Queen didn't know anything about it. After all, they didn't know much about Pirate King Gol D. Roger.
"You probably don't know that Pirate King Gol D. Roger was born in Loguetown, and he was also sentenced to death in Loguetown. That's why the local residents gave it a nickname, the Town of Death and Beginning."
Hearing this, the others quickly nodded.
Queen seemed to have discovered something. He took a deep breath and said, "Grand Marshal... it doesn't seem right. Think about it... haven't you been dead for so many years? If you've already passed away, how do you know these things?"
Queen's words made Ryuma a little embarrassed. Ryuma thought for a while before quickly saying, "Since I'm coming here, I have to do my research. So I've been working hard for a while now. What's wrong? Is it wrong to do my research?"
"I wouldn't dare." Queen slowly lowered his head.
Enel looked around him, his face full of excitement. He said, "Hahaha, I didn't expect this to be the Blue Sea. It seems the Blue Sea is quite developed. It seems this sea is not as dilapidated as I imagined."
Ryuma just nodded slowly when he heard this.
It was true.
The Sky Island where Enel lived was desolate. It could be said that the buildings were very strange. Maybe their aesthetics were different. Besides that, compared to the Blue Sea, Sky Island was not very clean. It was very dirty. Although it was full of gold, it still had a dilapidated feeling, like a ruined temple, full of mystery.
Ryuma said calmly, "You guys can buy some supplies here. I'll go investigate when Pirate King Gol D. Roger's execution will begin. When it's almost time... I'll try to send you a signal. You must return to my side then. We have to start acting."
Ryuma said calmly.
Actually, Ryuma originally wanted to do it all in one go, but on second thought, it didn't seem like that.
After all, they had planned for two days, but they had only arrived in less than a day and a half. They didn't know the time of the execution, so they had to scout the place. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous.
Especially for Ryuma.
