"Be prepared, Luffy. If you say now, 'Grandpa, I was wrong, I won't be a pirate, I want to be an excellent Marine like Grandpa,' then Grandpa will let you off!"
"Lalala, I don't want to be a Marine! Pirate King, that's what I'm going to be!"
Luffy stuck out his tongue, not only refusing to back down but adding fuel to the fire.
Sure enough, hearing his grandson wanted to be Pirate King, Garp immediately became enraged.
Swish!
Garp's figure flashed, bypassing the obstruction of Village Chief Slap and Makino.
His fist, wrapped in the Iron Fist of Love, mercilessly hammered down towards Straw Hat Luffy's head.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking Luffy.
Bang!
Garp's Iron Fist of Love did not land on Straw Hat Luffy's head but on Sabo's head, who had suddenly intervened.
The powerful force directly sent Sabo flying dozens of meters through the air.
"Sabo!!!"
Luffy and Koala were both greatly alarmed, and quickly rushed to Sabo's side.
"I'm not…"
Sabo had barely spoken when his eyes rolled back, and he completely fainted.
"How could this be? He's Sabo, yet he was knocked out in one hit… The Navy's legend is truly terrifying!"
Koala's pupils trembled, and she murmured in unconscious shock.
"Sabo! Sabo! Ahhh, you stinky grandpa… Sabo's going to be beaten to death by you!"
Luffy cried out anxiously.
"Eh? Eh eh eh!"
Mr. Garp, who had been so imposing a second ago, instantly deflated, so nervous he could barely speak.
"I'm not, I didn't… I didn't expect…"
"Garp, you scoundrel, what exactly have you done?"
Dadan, who had been squatting defensively with her hands over her head a second ago, suddenly erupted, grabbing the collar of Mr. Garp, whom she usually feared the most, and tearing at it.
A woman is inherently gentle, but for her child, she becomes strong.
"How could this be… Sabo…"
Makino stumbled forward, looking at the unconscious Sabo, her heart filled with extreme worry.
"Garp, you fellow, how can you be so heavy-handed with a child!"
Village Chief Slap was also furious.
"I'm not, I really didn't use force…"
Mr. Garp was also completely flustered.
After all, he was his own grandson.
How could he bear to use his full strength?
That last blow was, at most, meant to hurt Luffy for a little while.
Mr. Garp also didn't expect Sabo to suddenly run out and take the blow.
Mr. Garp also didn't expect Sabo's physique to be so poor now.
He couldn't even withstand a punch where he only used one-tenth of his strength.
…
…
At this moment.
The Doghead Warship, approximately a thousand meters from Windmill Village.
"Mr. Bogado, did something happen in the village?"
The Marines on the ship asked one after another; from a thousand meters away, they could only vaguely see some of what was happening.
"Mr. Garp seems to be…"
Bogado didn't finish his sentence when, the next second, all the hair on his body stood on end.
An unprecedented sense of great crisis Attack came over him.
A crack opened in the void about a hundred meters from the warship.
A hundred-meter-long sailing ship slowly emerged from the void portal.
"That's!!!"
"That ship is…"
"There's no mistake…"
"Five, five, five… Five Emperors…"
"Air Force Pirates!!!"
"Why is that man…"
"Shouldn't they be on the Grand Line?"
"Why did they suddenly appear in the East Blue!"
"This… This is bad!"
All the Marines on the Doghead Warship recognized the "Never Empty Army" and the man sitting on the bow of the ship fishing.
In an instant, all the Marines widened their eyes in unison, their faces showing extreme shock, horror, and disbelief.
On the other side.
The "Never Empty Army".
"Mr. Roland, is that your hometown?"
Vivi asked, pointing to Windmill Village in front of them.
"No, my hometown is on the distant shore… I only stayed in that village for a period of time, but it is, after all, the starting point, so it holds some commemorative significance!"
Roland said, sweeping his Observation Haki over the area.
When he saw the complex personnel composition at Windmill Village's port.
Roland was first startled, then a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This trip to the East Blue really was full of coincidences.
"Oh, everyone, look, there's a Marine warship over there!"
Nami, who had discovered the warship, suddenly became alert.
"That warship's emblem is…"
Robin's pupils constricted slightly as she recognized the iconic pug-head bow of the warship.
"Could it be that the Marines know this village is related to the boss, so they've started to take action?"
Kalifa's expression was solemn.
"How can we let mere Marines do as they please!"
Dragon Maid No. 2 Ulti bared her fangs.
"No need to be nervous!"
Roland waved his hand, signaling the girls to relax.
"I'll go take a look first, you can take your time!"
With that, he took a step forward.
A brilliant golden electric light flashed.
Roland landed in Windmill Village.
