"Garp, what are you doing?" Sengoku looked at the erratic Garp with displeasure.
"Sengoku, are they in Goa Kingdom?"
"Yes!"
Garp's heart sank.
It was over.
Why is Ace with them?
Has Red-Haired Shanks already detected Ace's identity?
"Sengoku, Goa Kingdom is my hometown, I must go back." Garp couldn't wait.
Sengoku frowned, "What use is it for you to go back now? From here to Goa Kingdom, it will take at least three months. Don't be impatient. Although they are pirates, none of them have committed the evil act of slaughtering ordinary people, so there's no need to worry."
Garp's expression was still tense.
He didn't doubt that point.
He was just afraid that Ace's identity had already been exposed.
And in the photo, there was even Jabba, a remnant of the Roger Pirates.
"Sengoku, I'm not discussing this with you, I must go back." Garp informed Sengoku very seriously.
Then he left the meeting room without looking back.
He headed to the port as quickly as possible.
"Given Red-Haired Shanks's style and Kevin's temperament, even if they know Luffy is my grandson and know Ace's identity, they won't make things difficult for them."
Garp comforted himself.
It should be nothing major.
As long as Ace's identity isn't exposed, and Ace hates Roger so much, he definitely won't voluntarily expose himself as Roger's son.
The more he thought about it.
Garp slowly relaxed.
"I'll just go back and check on those two boys."
In the meeting room.
Sengoku rubbed his temples helplessly; he really couldn't control Garp.
Forget it, let him go.
"Kevin has gotten stronger again, and the Sun and Moon Pirates have new members." Sengoku pointed to a relatively blurry photo.
It was a shot of the Tomorrow.
On it, several women were leaning on the railing.
Among them were Lily and Makino.
Sengoku looked at the two of them.
He speculated in his heart whether they were one of the spies sent by the World Government. If they were spies.
Sengoku immediately issued an order: "Immediately contact the World Government, confirm their bounty amounts, and then publicize them."
They couldn't hold back the spies.
Joining the Sun and Moon Pirates and not being bountied, wouldn't that arouse Kevin's suspicion?
"Yes!"
...
...
The sky began to clear.
The Red Hair Pirates lay sprawled on the ground, having spent the night casually.
Kevin had long since been carried back to the Tomorrow by Gyon, sleeping comfortably on the large bed.
"Captain, this is the hangover soup I prepared for you."
Hearing the movement.
Makino came in, carrying a bowl of hangover soup.
Kevin quietly looked at the virtuous Makino; it was time to formally invite her to become a member of the crew.
"Captain, Captain, I've been bountied! My bounty is fifty million!"
A boisterous Lily ran in excitedly.
Waving the latest wanted poster in her hand.
"Makino, you've been bountied too! You've been bountied for five hundred thousand Berries!"
Lily told Makino the good news.
"Ah?"
Makino's small mouth dropped open, forming an "O" shape.
She stood there flustered, looking at her wanted poster, her body trembling slightly, filled with fear.
Once bountied.
The identity of a pirate could not be washed away.
"The World Government's speed in issuing bounties this time is too fast." Kevin was a little surprised by the World Government's administrative speed.
Looking at the frightened, pale-faced Makino.
He stood up.
He placed his large hand on her shoulder.
The strong sense of security slowly calmed the trembling Makino.
"Captain, what should I do? I've been bountied, I've become a pirate, what should I do? Can I still go back to Windmill Village?" Makino said with a sob.
Gyon and Hancock also walked in.
They comforted Makino.
"I'm sorry, if I hadn't invited you, you wouldn't have been bountied." Gyon looked at Makino apologetically: "Once you're bountied, there's no possibility of having it removed."
"Then what do I do?"
Makino looked at everyone for help.
"Then come with us, let's travel the sea together," Lily invited.
Everyone looked at Makino expectantly.
Although it was a short time together, Makino's gentle nature and superb cooking skills won everyone over.
"But I can't do anything, I..." Makino lowered her head in inferiority. "You are all so strong, and I have no strength at all."
She secretly glanced at Kevin.
"You are very important, I need you." Kevin came in front of Makino, lowered his head, and met her eyes: "Even without a bounty, I was already prepared to formally invite you, to invite you to be my companion."
"Really?"
"Of course." His approving gaze soothed all of Makino's inner unease about the future.
Under everyone's gaze,
she slowly but firmly nodded.
She officially joined.
Eighth member: Makino (Cook).
...
...
Meanwhile, Red Hair, who had just woken up, stared blankly at the bounty poster in his hand.
"Makino has a bounty on her head, which means she's also a Pirate that the Marines want to capture." Red-Haired Shanks began to feel uneasy, worrying about Makino.
Especially when he thought of the Sun and Moon Pirates, who were a major focus of the World Government.
They were the most dangerous Pirate Crew on the sea.
He also recalled Kevin's demands for his companions last night.
The more Red-Haired Shanks thought about it, the more he couldn't rest assured.
"Even if Kevin beats me up, I have to try." Red-Haired Shanks couldn't help but walk towards the Tomorrow.
