Garp And Tsuru

Doflamingo and Dragon met at the Tree of Knowledge for about four consecutive nights.

It was as if two big men were having a tryst. It was alright at first, but after a long time, both of them seemed to be unbearable with each other.

During this period, Doflamingo talked nonsense and told Dragon a lot of messy thoughts and philosophies.

Dragon also has an appearance like he has benefited a lot. Of course, Doflamingo doesn't think that what he said will have a great impact on Dragon. 

To Dragon, Doflamingo's words are like the thoughts in these books. It's nothing more than 'lights' to illuminate the way forward.

The real answer can only be known by walking this road by yourself.

Also, on the fourth day, Dragon handed over a notebook that he had sorted out in the past few days to Doflamingo.

It's not the "Dragon Claw Fist" that Doflamingo expected. It is estimated that Dragon has not yet summarized this system of physical skills to form a genre.

But thinking about it, even if he has really done this, he will not easily teach Doflamingo this kind of bottom-of-the-box stuff.

"You said before that you only have some simple fighting skills, and you are not very good at physical skills." Dragon looked at Doflamingo, who was flipping through his notebook, and said: "Based on this situation, I will give you a rough summary. Let's take a look at these basic physical training methods. It can't be regarded as a high-end product, but it is definitely a basic skill that has been honed over time. After laying a solid foundation, no matter what genre you want to follow, you can switch at it any time, and... if you stick to it and polish it carefully, maybe you can also walk out of your own route."

Doflamingo flipped through it briefly, then he looked at Dragon and said: "Thank you very much."

Although he still doesn't quite understand it, he feels that with Dragon's character, he shouldn't be fooling him.

This kind of physical training method that can lay a solid foundation is just right for him.

Vaguely, Doflamingo felt that this might have the basic essence of physical training in the Marine's system.

"It's just an equivalent exchange." Dragon didn't take the credit and then said: "The knowledge about Haki is not part of our transaction, but for the sake of fate, I summed up some key points and put them in the last few pages. If you get a chance, you may use it as a reference."

Regarding Haki's knowledge, Professor Clover said that he could give it to him the day after tomorrow.

At that time, he can also refer to this material from Dragon for a better understanding.

So after hearing Dragon's words, Doflamingo's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Fufufu, I owe you a favor."

Dragon waved his hand and didn't answer. Instead, he glanced at the moonlight on the skylight and said: "My vacation is almost over, and I won't come here again. If there is a chance, let's meet at the sea once again…"

"Next time we meet, I'll buy you a drink." Doflamingo responded.

At the same time as his words fell, the skylight above shook slightly as if a gap was exposed. Then, the notebook pages in Doflamingo's hand seemed to be blown by a breeze, and several pages were turned over.

When he returned to his senses, Dragon, who was standing in front of him just now, had completely disappeared.

"I'm afraid this guy's ability really has something to do with the wind." Doflamingo murmured softly.

With information that can help him improve his strength, Doflamingo has no extra interest in this big library. He will go back to study tonight and start practicing tomorrow!

For several consecutive days, Doflamingo really did not wander around on Ohara. He and Vergo practiced asceticism in the back mountain of Ohara.

While Doflamingo was penanced in West Blue, a storm was brewing on the sea.

At the Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

Garp, who was wearing a Marine's cloak of justice with a Vice-Admiral's epaulets, was holding a box of senbei in his hand and was stuffing it into his mouth without any care for his image.

Beside him was Kuzan, who was his subordinates now.

It is said that he is a subordinate, but Kuzan has a star on his shoulders. In Naval Headquarters, he is already considered a high-level officer.

Not long after the two walked from the military port of Marineford, they saw Chief Staff Officer Tsuru and her little follower Gion walking in front.

Gion did not become a Marine Admiral in the future. However, she was Naval Headquarters' Vice-Admira, and her strength was also very strong.

"Little Crane!" Garp immediately shouted after seeing Tsuru.

Hearing the voice behind her, Tsuru paused a little, but she didn't stop. 

She didn't even turn her head back. Instead, she walked forward at a faster speed.

But before she took a few steps, Garp had already strode up to catch up while shouting: "Little Crane, I'm calling you. Didn't you hear me?"

Seeing that she could not get rid of Garp, Tsuru slowed down a little and said: "I heard you."

"Since you heard me. Why are you still walking so fast?" Garp complained in displeased.

"It's because I heard you. That's why I walked faster. If you know how to 'watch words and expressions,' you should know that I'm avoiding you." Tsuru replies helplessly after looking at Garp.

"Why do you avoid me?! Aren't we good friends?" Garp asked with a confused face.

"Because every time I get involved with you, it means trouble is coming." Tsuru replied without hesitation.

The two of them were bickering here, making Kuzan and Gion, who were following behind them, couldn't help but laugh.

They all know each other very well. Don't look at the appearance of General Staff Tsuru and Vice Admiral Garp bickering with each other.

But in fact, their relationship is really very good. They are comrades who can entrust their backs to each other on the battlefield!

Garp was so thick-skinned that he didn't care about Chief Staff Tsuru's words at all. After stuffing a handful of senbei in his mouth, he asked directly: "How is it? Has your intelligence department heard any information about Roger?"

"Why did the two of you keep looking for Roger... Is that guy so attractive?" Chief Staff Officer Tsuru rubbed her brow with a bit of helplessness while asking.

"Who else is also looking for Roger?" Garp asked curiously.

"If you read the newspapers more, you will know that that guy, Shiki, is asking for news about Roger all over the world... It is said that that guy wants to join forces with Roger. If things really develop in that direction, then it is very bad. In the past few years, our control over the New World has become weaker. If the two of them join forces, they may become the next Rocks..." Chief Staff Officer Tsuru said with a slightly heavy tone.

On the contrary, after Garp heard this, he raised his hand and patted Chief Staff Officer Tsuru's shoulder while speaking: "Little Crane, don't worry about this kind of thing. That idea is nothing but Shiki's wishful thinking. Roger won't join forces with him."

"How dare you be so sure!?" Senior Staff Tsuru glanced at Garp.

Garp rubbed his chin and wiped away the senbei residue from the corner of his mouth, then he smiled confidently: "It's the answer given to me by his sword. How many times do you think I have fought against Roger?"

General Staff Tsuru was silent for a moment, then she whispered softly: "I hope so."

Garp didn't ask about Roger but asked something else suddenly: "About Shiki, and his flying pirate group...do you have any plans for the intelligence staff? You can't really let this guy become the overlord of the New World."

"The most difficult part of the plan against Shiki is that his mobility is too strong...Faced with this situation, our Marine's greatest advantage, that is, its strength, cannot be fully utilized..." Chief Staff Officer Tsuru replies softly.

Shiki is very powerful, but there are other pirates who are as powerful as him, like Whitebeard, Roger, Patrick Redfield, and others who are as strong as him, if not even stronger.

But unfortunately, Shiki's fruit ability is very strange, which makes Marine very helpless!

This guy is known as a pirate, but the whole thing is flying around in the sky. It's really annoying!
