Captured!

The warships set sail at night, with Sengoku, along with three Admirals of the Marine's Nature Division and thirteen hundred elite Marines besides Sengoku.

When they arrived at Loguetown, they saw that the town was already on high alert, with the Loguetown Marine Branch ready for battle.

At the harbor entrance of Loguetown, the docks were crowded with warships, and numerous Marines were tense and prepared for combat.

Almost the moment when Sengoku and the others arrived, the thirteen hundred elite Marines from Marine Headquarters, under the command of their respective officers, quickly took control of the entire Loguetown.

Seeing the sudden scene, the pirates who were planning to replenish their supplies in Loguetown and head to the Grand Line were left dumbfounded. They had initially thought that the Marines in Loguetown were weaklings, but they soon found out that they were no match for them. Even a small squad could easily defeat them.

"Sakazuki, take over all affairs in Loguetown. Borsalino, you're the fastest, make sure to swiftly clear out all pirates and factions in Loguetown!"

"Understood!"

"I got it. What a hassle."

Although complaining about the trouble, Vice-Admiral Kizaru started to vanish into light.

Meanwhile, Sengoku followed the highest-ranking officer of the Loguetown Marine Branch to the heavily guarded prison where Pirate King Roger was held.

Upon the arrival of Sengoku and the others, Pirate King Roger, who was sitting with his legs crossed and facing Garp, looked up at the approaching Sengoku, Kuzan, and the other Marines.

Until this moment, even though Pirate King Roger was just sitting there behind the iron railing, the Marines present still couldn't believe that he had been Captured so easily by their Marine hero, Garp.

Now they understood why this operation was so massive and why they hadn't received any news from the beginning. This event, if leaked, would undoubtedly shock the world.

Pirate King Roger, who had completed a circumnavigation of the world and reached the final island, appeared before everyone once again, this time as a prisoner of the Marines.

"Roger?"

Sengoku cautiously spoke up.

"Sengoku, don't be so tense. How come you can't recognize an old friend."

Roger looked at Sengoku, who was wearing glasses and looking serious, and joked.

At this moment, Sengoku couldn't believe that Pirate King Roger had been Captured!

As for what Garp said about encountering Roger and knocking him down with a few punches and then arresting him, Sengoku didn't believe a word of it.

Although he knew Garp's strength very well, he was even more aware of Roger's strength. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the love-hate relationship between Garp and Roger was more intense than that between Naruto and Sasuke.

Seeing Sengoku's cautious look, Roger remained silent, seemingly indifferent.

Then Sengoku turned to Garp.

"Garp, I need a detailed account of what happened."

Sengoku's expression was serious, filled with doubt.

Faced with Sengoku's inquiry, Garp remained silent.

Seeing Garp's silence, Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Never mind, if you don't want to say, you don't have to. I'll find a way to handle it with the World Government."

"Roger's arrest, and by us Marines at that, is a great thing."

Garp's lips twitched, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

"This time, you did a great job. You've made a great contribution. Maybe those guys will nominate you as an Admiral again."

Sengoku patted Garp's shoulder, clearly immersed in the joy of Roger's Capture, forgetting to think about other things.

Garp knew that it wouldn't be long before rumors spread that Roger had been Captured by him, just like the God Valley incident in the past, orchestrated rumors that would make Garp feel helpless.

He knew very well that the Marines urgently needed "achievements" for propaganda purposes, to prove their strength to the world.

Unable to stop it, Garp wouldn't even try.

This kind of face-saving operation was needed no matter where it was, for officials, it was an achievement, a result achieved during their tenure.

For the Marines, it undoubtedly strengthened their position in the hearts of the people, encouraging more to join the Marines.

For the countries on the Four Seas and the Grand Line, as well as ordinary people, it made them feel a little more at ease. After all, under the propaganda of the World Government, Roger had long been portrayed as a monster who would eat ten children.

As for the pirates, this news was undoubtedly a heavy blow. Even the Pirate King had been Captured by us; those who were sensible should behave themselves and not stir up trouble!

In the darkness outside the prison in Loguetown, a lantern illuminated only a few feet of space.

"The execution will take place in Loguetown in one month."

Garp calmly conveyed this message to Roger.

Roger paused for a moment, his brows furrowed with fatigue and a hint of unbearable pain.

"Thank you, Garp."

After finishing the drink in his cup, Roger spoke earnestly again.

"They, I'll leave them to you!"

Gazing deeply at Roger, Garp nodded heavily.

"Rest assured!"

Then the two of them drank in silence.
