100. Garp Is Out! Marine Mobilization! The Intensity Of The War Has Been Raised!

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Inside an office—

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru, the three top Marine forces known as the Marine Iron Triangle, gathered here for a small discussion meeting.

Looking at the information he just received.

Sengoku had a big headache:

"Has Doflamingo gathered such a huge force in such a short period of time?"

"And he's also connected with other Warlords of the Sea! This is not acceptable. The original intention of establishing the Warlords of the Sea was to suppress this era of piracy, not to let them unite and form another huge power!"

Hearing him.

While eating the senbei, Garp snorted and said:

"I said earlier that the so-called 'Warlords of the Sea' system you submitted to Fleet Admiral Kong back then was nonsense! If even pirates can be trusted, even sows can climb trees!"

"Look at it now—"

"Not to mention that the establishment hasn't been completed for long, three of the four Warlords of the Sea who took office have been defeated, and now they're uniting to cause trouble! If these evil parties really unite, Sengoku, you'll have big trouble!"

Hearing Garp's words.

Sengoku was full of black lines and could not refute. Garp, an old man, has always been out of tune, but he's the only one who's right about this matter, not to mention the system of the Warlords of the Sea.

Now, if Doflamingo is really allowed to unite with Crocodile, Gecko Moria, and Hawkeye, plus the privilege of the Warlords of the Sea, this will definitely be the largest hidden threat to peace and stability on the sea!

and—

The Warlords of the Sea organization will also exist in name only and become a tough nut to crack for the Marines!

"Speak less, Garp!"

Seeing Sengoku's headache expression, Vice Admiral Tsuru clasped her hands, crossed her legs, and said:

"The Warlords of the Sea, the original purpose was to suppress the era of Gol D. Roger, which began to go berserk after his birth! The current situation, no one could imagine, after all, no one thought these rebellious guys would join hands!"

"The reason----"

"It's all because of that Rob!"

There was a pause.

Tsuru Vice Admiral continued her analysis:

"Now Doflamingo can contact Crocodile, mainly because Crocodile wants to get revenge and defeat Rob! As for Gecko Moria, it is very likely that he is targeting Rob's body or his shadow."

"Hawkeye may go back to watch the battle, but it is absolutely impossible for him to form an alliance with Doflamingo. He just wants to become the 'world's greatest swordsman'! For other things, he has no ambitions!"

"This alliance is not reliable at all. After the battle of grievances, it will directly disintegrate! So don't worry, the Warlords of the Sea will not form an 'extremely difficult group!'"

After hearing Tsuru's words, Sengoku nodded in approval.

As "The Resourceful General," Sengoku naturally understood this.

He pondered for a moment.

Sengoku's face turned serious:

"I understand this point. As long as Rob dies, or Doflamingo dies, this alliance will disintegrate instantly. But before that, the strength of tens of thousands of people has already made Doflamingo an existence that cannot be underestimated."

"It's okay if Rob wins!"

"If Doflamingo wins, his power will probably expand unprecedentedly. Coupled with that guy's special status, he will become a very troublesome problem on the sea!"

After a pause.

Sengoku's face showed displeasure:

"Before you came, the Five Elders issued an order - Doflamingo can't die, but he can't be allowed to continue causing trouble! So we, the Marines, have to intervene in this decisive battle!"

Hearing Sengoku's words, Garp remained the same, but Vice Admiral Tsuru became serious.

Ignoring Garp's antics.

Sengoku continued:

"There are two combat objectives that need to be completed—"

"First, take advantage of the opportunity of the war to capture and imprison Doflamingo, and at the same time clean up all the pirates on Jaya Island. If necessary, launch a Buster Call to destroy the already reduced Pirate Paradise!"

"Second, send a powerful warning to Rob's group, who have been very high-profile on the sea recently. Show that kid, who is becoming more and more lawless, a bit of justice to deter him!"

Speaking of which.

Sengoku looked at Garp:

"It's time for you to act! Garp, let that brat feel the power of the Marines. If you can, win him over and get him to join our righteous camp!"

"The higher-ups in the government can't bear to see him continue causing trouble at sea! If you don't want this kid with potential to fall into darkness and become our enemy, you need to win him over!"

"Garp, for this matter, you can't slack off!"

Click—

Hearing Sengoku's words, Garp crunched a senbei.

He laughed loudly:

"Is that so? The old man knows! I'll bring that kid back with me to become a Marine. I think he has the potential to be an Admiral! Hahaha..."

Hearing that Garp didn't refuse, Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief, and then discussed the battle plan with Vice Admiral Tsuru again. Why didn't he discuss it with Garp?

Nonsense.

What kind of decent battle plan advice do you expect from a reckless man who can only deal with things with his fists?

Follow Garp's ideas?

Then there's only one battle plan—

Charge recklessly.

It doesn't matter who the enemy is, how many people they have, or what their combat goals are.

Charge in recklessly, just charge in, if one punch can't solve it, then another punch, no matter how many punches it takes, it will definitely solve the problem, no matter how bad it is, it can at least solve part of it!

Soon.

With the complementarity of Sengoku and Tsuru, after a battle plan was formulated, Marine Headquarters held another large-scale battle meeting with the participation of Vice Admiral and Rear Admiral!

And the general who led the team to fight this time was determined—

Garp as the strongest combat force, and Vice Admiral Tsuru as the temporary commander.

In addition, the two rising stars Akainu and Aokiji, who are basically determined to be promoted to Admiral, are still serving as Vice Admirals and will join as powerful combatants, along with a group of Marine Rear Admirals and a large number of elite Marines from Headquarters!

This combat force—

It can no longer be said to be powerful.

It's quite terrifying; even if they went to the New World to single out the Whitebeard Pirates, there wouldn't be a problem.

The reason why such a terrifying combat force is being dispatched is because the combat power gathered on Jaya Island is truly immense, and it's also necessary to deter the Warlords of the Sea and restore the weakening reputation of the Marines!

With this evolution—

The upcoming decisive battle on Jaya Island has turned into a real war, with the two sides in the war being among the most powerful on the sea, and the weakest being Rob, who initiated the decisive battle.

Marine's participation in the war, and even the World Government's intervention, was all anticipated by Rob, who is still on vacation at the moment.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the power the Marines used would be so great!

This wave—

The face Marine gave him is indeed significant!

In the blink of an eye.

Ten days passed.

Clatter—

Crash

Crash

On the calm sea of the Grand Line's "Paradise," the Angel is continuously sailing in the breeze, and the clear and soothing sound of the hull pushing through the waves sounds quite pleasant and makes people feel calm.

At the moment, on the deck of the Angel.

Rob is still dressed in his floral shirt, cropped pants, and flip-flops. Standing at 1.9 meters tall, with the Shinto hanging on his waist, he no longer looks like the child he once was. There's an undeniable aura about him.

Whoosh--

The sea breeze blows in, causing Rob's black hair to flutter, making him look even more chic and unruly.

Tap tap tap------

Footsteps sounded.

Makino, wearing a battle uniform and holding a white cloak in her hand, approached Rob. She gently placed the cloak over Rob's shoulders and tidied his clothes with a tender smile.

"Cloak... I don't need this!" Rob said helplessly after glancing at the cloak on his body.

Hearing his words.

Makino, who understood Rob's character well, smiled gently.

"But after wearing this cape, you look even more handsome! Of course, you're already very handsome, but with this cape, you're even more captivating."

Hearing Makino's words.

Rob glanced at the white cloak on himself with satisfaction in his eyes.

Seeing him like this.

Makino knew that the cape she had chosen had pleased Rob.

So she laughed and teased:

"If you really don't like it, you can take it off! Do you want to take it off, Rob?"

Grinning, Rob flicked the cape on his body:

"Now that it's on, I'll keep it on! A cloak is one of the romances of men!"

Hearing him.

The smile on Makino's face became even more gentle:

"Okay!"

The more she got to know Rob, the more she understood his character. Although it differed from the completely positive image Makino had initially imagined, and could even be considered the opposite, Rob's unreserved affection for her was enough to overshadow all other shortcomings.

Even though this affection was shared with Robin and Uta, 

So what?

There are many women in love and nourished by love, and Makino is no exception.

Before long.

After changing into combat outfits similar to Makino's, only differing in some details, Robin and Uta walked out of the cabin.

Especially Robin, whose heroic figure, a departure from her usual youthful and girly style, now exuded a mature and regal aura, catching everyone's eyes!
