Chapter 124

Sitting on the sand, Scheherazade smiled, "From the beginning, the King has intended to recruit new members. If Mr. Borsalino has any questions, please ask."

"So..." Nodding, Borsalino began to ask a few questions.

Inside Scheherazade's intrinsic barrier, Scheherazade calmly answers some questions posed by Borsalino.

Meanwhile, the Navy formation is in disarray in the outside world due to losing their Powerhouses, CP0, and Kizaru!

"Damn, why it ended up like this! Why did those two suddenly disappear?!" Zephyr roared angrily while dodging Gilgamesh's attacks.

"They must have been drawn into that sword world." Garp retreated to Zephyr's side.

"Old man, it seems that we will be facing an uphill battle together. I hope Kizaru and that Agent can defeat Marshal Blue."

"Garp, are you okay?" Zephyr asked his friend, currently panting.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I can't be defeated easily anyway, hahaha!" Garp laughed

"However, the young girl who fought me turned out to be quite extraordinary. After fighting her for so long, she didn't even lose her breath... have I really grown old?"

"By the way, Zephyr, be careful of her sword, it's no less powerful than Mihawk's," Garp said as he raised his fist. His fight with Artoria had left him with abrasions, though not bleeding, but the bruises were quite obvious.

"If she attacks you, make sure to coat your body with Armament Haki, otherwise that sword will cut." Garp reminded him for the last time.

Looking at the scratches between Garp's knuckles, Zephyr asked, "Do you need my help?

"Hahaha, no need. You'd better deal with that golden guy. I don't think he's easy to beat either." Garp laughed.

"Without you said it, I already know." Zephyr replied while looking at Gilgamesh with a sharp gaze.

"Against me, you even had time to chat with your friend. It seems I was too lax in dealing with you." Gilgamesh said.

Disappearing, Gilgamesh reappeared right in front of Zephyr while wielding his two great swords.

Zephyr hurriedly coated both hands with Armament Haki, then his fists connected with the opponent's attack.

*Boom!*

Followed by a loud explosion, Zephyr flung towards the Navy soldier.

The Navy soldiers behind Zephyr were directly hit by him one by one.

Seeing Zephyr flung into the air, Garp wanted to rush over to help, but Artoria stopped Garp with Excalibur.

"Grr!" Garp punched Artoria's sword again.

"Damn, why does a group as strong as you have to be on the opposing side?! Also, were CP0 and Kizaru sucked by Marshal Blue into his sword world?"

"Yo, old man, are you looking for me?"

As Garp and Artoria were busy fighting, Vermillion's voice came from the castle wall.

Hearing him, Artoria relaxed her attack, and Garp took advantage of this moment to retreat towards the soldiers.

At the same time, due to the appearance of Vermillion, Gilgamesh temporarily stopped his attack.

In the area in front of the castle, many Navy soldiers had been injured by Gilgamesh's previous attacks. Gilgamesh originally had no intention of fighting them. Still, he counterattacked them since they wanted to attack him while he played with Zephyr.

For those who intend to attack him, Gilgamesh will generously 'reward' them with his collection of weapons.

Witnessing Marshal Blue's appearance, except for Garp and Zephyr, every soldier who was still conscious looked towards the castle wall.

Vermillion watched the battle zone atop the palace, smiling. Beside him stood Minamoto, staring at the soldiers with a cold gaze. Semiramis watched the battle, too.

"Vermillion, you finally came out. Where did you take Kizaru and the Agent?!" Garp became nervous when he saw Vermillion's unharmed body; even his clothes were not dust-stained! Had he managed to trounce those two?

Not only was Garp nervous, but Zephyr was too. The other Navy soldiers even began to feel desperate; they were so sure that one of their Admirals and the World Government Agent had been defeated!

"Relax, I'm not teleporting anyone into my sword world nor launched an attack to anyone yet." Vermillion jumped off the wall with both hands in his pockets.

Just as his feet were about to hit the ground, Vermillion used his ability to stop time, then walked calmly over to Garp and tapped the old man on the shoulder before deactivating his ability.

"Um!"

Seeing Vermillion, who had just jumped off the castle wall and tapped him on the shoulder suddenly before he could even blink, Garp reflexively punched him hard.
