Chapter 28

*Pulu Pulu Pulu!*

*Kacha!*

"Fleet Admiral here."

"Hello, Sengoku, it's me, Garp."

"Garp, didn't you ask for leave to visit your grandson in Foosha village? Have you decided to come back yet?"

"Hahaha, it's rare that you call me, do you have something to say?" Sengoku answered his friend's phone while laughing.

"Sengoku, Onigumo has been defeated and he is seriously injured. Also CP0 who was investigating the disappearance of the Celestial Dragon in East Blue has been killed." Garp replied in a serious voice.

"What?!" Sengoku immediately rose from his chair.

"Onigumo and CP0 were defeated? CP0 died in battle?! Garp, are you serious?"

"You think I'm kidding, Sengoku?"

"Garp, do you know who did it? Onigumo is not a weakling, CP0 is no different. The CP0 who investigated the disappearance of the Celestial Dragon is now dead, this matter needs to be explained to the Five Elders." Sengoku answered in a low voice.

"It's still unclear, but the enemy must be very strong." Garp said while looking at the medical team treating the injured people.

"Of all the victims, no one is conscious yet, so we can't question them."

When Garp talked with Sengoku, he suddenly received a report from his subordinates.

"Report sir! Vice Admiral Onigumo now awake!"

Hearing the soldier's report, Garp hurriedly approached Onigumo. "Onigumo, are you all right? Who has made you battered like this?"

"Hmm... Vice Admiral Garp? Looks like I managed to survive." Seeing Garp, Onigumo heaved a sigh of relief.

"Onigumo, don't worry, you and the others will be fine. Now tell me why you are in this situation." Sengoku asked over the phone.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku?!"

"Report sir! The people who beat us are members of the Drake pirates!" Onigumo immediately gave a military salute while answering Sengoku's question.

"Was it the pirates who had attacked Nezumi?" Sengoku.

"I didn't expect them to have such strength. Even being able to defeat you and CP0 at the same time. It seems we underestimated them too much."

"Sir, actually... the one who defeated us was just one of them. A man in red clothes with white hair." Add Onigumo.

"Nani?!" Sengoku stood up in surprise.

"Alone? Not their Captain, right?! Onigumo, report specifically!"

"Yes, Sir!" Onigumo, still lying on the floor, started to explain what had happened.

***

"Is he really capable of limitlessly controlling and creating swords?" After hearing Onigumo's report, Sengoku began to be wary of the pirates led by Drake.

"Garp, since you're in East Blue, I need you to go after Drake and her underlings after sending Onigumo to the nearest hospital."

"I suspect that the loss of the Celestial Dragons in East Blue was due to them. Although it is still not confirmed that they are the culprits, but given their strength, it would not be surprising if they were not afraid of fighting the Celestial Dragons or the World Government." Sengoku gave his analysis.

"No need for you to tell me I'll be after them too. I'm currently rushing to the nearest Marine base." Reply Garp.

"By the way, I know something about that pirate."

"Huh? Garp, say it!" Sengoku immediately asked.

"I heard from my own grandson that a person called Francis Drake can summon cannons and large ships out of thin air. Maybe someone with the Devil Fruit ability."

Garp continued. "Besides, even though Drake is the captain, but my grandson said that the one actually leading them is a man named Vermillion."

"I believe that Vermillion is not the one who defeated Onigumo."

"I see, maybe that Vermillion guy is indeed their leader, and Drake was just a bait." Sengoku nodded.

"Is there any other information you know about the pirate?"

"No, only Vermillion and Drake appeared in Foosha village. Neither my grandson nor the villagers saw anyone other than the two of them." Garp shook his head.

"Possible other members joined recently."

"Garp, I will leave this matter to you. As for CP0's death, I will try to explain it to the Five Elders."

"I'll also try to raise the Drake pirates Bounty."

"I'll report back when there's more news." Garp nodded and then hung up the phone.

Even though the pirates led by Vermillion were able to defeat Onigumo. As a Naval Hero, Garp is confident that he can beat them.
