Garp watched as Ya Erlin straightened his collar and left, closing the door behind him. Garp's tense nerves immediately relaxed, and he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He sat on the sofa, clutching the "ear" in his hand, his eyes dull and lifeless.
"How is it?"
Sengoku pushed the door and came in.
Garp suddenly clenched his palm and put it back in his pocket, and the other hand rubbed his stiff and tired face, and shook his head at Sengoku and said: "Unfortunately, Yarlin's philosophy is the same as Sakazuki's. He can't come back to our side."
"Is that so?" Sengoku looked at Garp's hesitant look and frowned slightly: "What else did you say?"
Garp quietly pulled his hand out of his pocket and restored his usual posture. He bit his teeth and apologized to Sengoku: "Yarlin said that he couldn't believe that a Marine Fleet Admiral would stab him in the back and acquiesce to the Gorōsei politicians to use despicable means of assassination. Sengoku, this time you really made a mistake."
Sengoku's cheeks twitched, and he took off his frog-like glasses, revealing a pair of deep cold eyes, and sighed: "Sometimes sacrifice is inevitable for the overall situation. Even if I had to do it again, I'm afraid I would still make the same choice. Unfortunately, I didn't expect that an ordinary Marine Captain could become a chess piece in the current situation."
"He's not ordinary." Garp was a little irritated and changed the topic: "That report should be in Sakazuki's hands now, and it will soon appear at the Marine Headquarters' regular meeting. Are you ready to deal with it next?"
"The situation I painstakingly maintained is about to be broken, and the crack between the Marine Headquarters and the world will no longer be glued together. All this is inevitable. So, the only thing I can do is …" Sengoku put his glasses back on the bridge of his nose and gently pressed his index finger against it: "In the last term, I will do my best to help Aokiji, if Aokiji is in charge of the rudder."
On the other side.
Yarlin went out of the door and turned into the corridor not far away. He saw Onigumo leaning against the wall waiting for him. His wild hair covered the ground in a black shadow.
"What did Garp say to you?" Onigumo asked.
"What else can I say? I'm just helping our marshal pass on some meaningless words." Yarlin glanced at Onigumo. He was not surprised that Onigumo was waiting for him here. He shrugged and sneered.
"Sakasugi is waiting for you." Onigumo was satisfied with Yarlin's answer.
The ground was made of metal, and the sound of feet stepping on it was "clang clang clang". There were marines walking on both sides of the open-air corridor, and a complex of buildings appeared in front of them.
Passing through corridors and buildings, they came to a huge building built into the side of a mountain. It looked like a fortress, but it was actually a huge military camp. Sakasugi was in the camp, which was very much his style.
The soldiers coming in and out were scattered, and most of them were carrying ice-cold swords and spears. Their faces were cold and stiff.
"General Sakazuki usually stays in the camp." Onigumo said as he walked. "There is a prison over there. Crocodile Crocodile has been taken over by us and will be escorted to Impel Down. He should not see the sun again in his life. Do you want to see it?"
"No need, escort him away!" Yarlin glanced at the temporary prison and retracted his gaze.
"The first prisoner is one of the Shichibukai. After all, you were the one who captured him. I thought you would be interested in saying goodbye to him. Hey … what a cold character." Onigumo said.
"I don't care about his ending. I just want to know if my military rank will be dyed red."
In the room, the projection screen was playing the image worm. Crocodile walked out of the abandoned manor. The body of the Alabasta royal family was lying on the ground. The image was playing quickly and soon it stopped at the scene where he killed Smoker.
"With this image worm, the crime of Crocodile Crocodile is completely confirmed, and the world government has nothing to say." Sakasugi looked at Onigumo and Yarlin who came in and got up to greet them.
"Captain Yarlin, no, I should soon call you Vice-Admiral Yarlin." Sakasugi patted Yarlin on the shoulder and did not say a word about Garp's question.
Yarlin showed an excited expression, his right hand pulled out a sealed document from his arms and handed it to Sakasugi. "Alabasta's sea power is completely vested in the Marine. With this precedent, the countries under the World Government can use this model to submit to the Marine Headquarters, so as to escape the control of the World Government."
"At that time, the Marine Headquarters can also intervene in other countries and break free from the shackles of the World Government." Yarlin's eyes were shining.
Sakasugi took the document and scanned the contents of the document word by word. The smile on his face was getting bigger and bigger. He can foresee what kind of waves such a document will make in the Marine Headquarters. It's not polite to say that as long as he plans well, his reputation will surpass the Warring States Kingdom in one fell swoop and he will become the "hero" of the Marine.
"Although Marin Lando is the base of the Marine Headquarters, the scenery on the island is still good. You can go there and rest for a while. You can rest assured that in less than a month, your letter of appointment will come." Sakasugi waved his hand and signaled Onigumo to take Yarlin to rest. He had to study the report again.
Yarlin narrowed his eyes and did not say anything. He followed Onigumo out of the camp.
"Are you going to go to the island or?" Onigumo asked.
"Go directly to rest." Yarlin refused Onigumo's kindness. The other side was just being polite. He wouldn't take it seriously. He wasn't crazy to treat a Vice Admiral as a tour guide.
Along the way they talked, Yarlin asked tentatively. Onigumo also intended to get closer to Yarlin so that he could find out some things. The thing that caught his attention the most was the entrance to the East Blue. It was blocked by some kind of strange plant and a horrible poisonous gas surrounded it. The East Blue seemed to be once again caught in the flames of war. This time it wasn't pirates but a war between countries.
"Dalmatian has already set off from the headquarters to deal with that strange plant …" Onigumo said casually, then pointed to a small villa in the distance and said, "You'll live here for the time being. In the future, this villa will be your residence in Marin Fanto. When you're promoted to Lieutenant General, you'll have to come back to the headquarters for a period of time every six months to report on your work, even if you're transferred out to carry out missions …"
