Chapter 24

Saboundy Island Archepelago, Area 13.

"Garp-san, please don't do something that would make the Marines have to fight with the Akagami pirate group. Sengoku-san has messaged me rather you didn't act recklessly"

Aokiji and Garp have now arrived at Saboundy Island and are currently walking along with Vice Admiral Gilbert who is the leader of the Saboundy Island Branch Naval Headquarters. The three of them have now arrived at area 13 to carry out monitoring of the Akagami pirate group.

"You don't need to lecture me. I know" Garp said in a sullen tone then continued, "I just wanted to hit that Akagami Bastard Boy on the head once to take my anger out on him! How dare he brainwash my grandson who wants to become a great Marine!"

Aokiji could only sigh tiredly at Garp's attitude. It's not a secret that Garp has a grandson and even all the top Marines know about it. They also knew that Garp's grandson had a desire to become a pirate compared to the Marines.

"It should have been when the boy was still on Roger's ship, I should have taught him a lot more," Garp said with angry emotions.

When the three of them arrived at the monitoring site, one of the people in charge of supervising the area immediately walked over and saluted the three of them, "Vice-Admiral Garp, Admiral Aokiji, and Vice-Admiral Gilbert"

"Where is that Akagami Boy?" Garp immediately asked seriously.

"Report Vice Admiral Garp! Right now all the commanders of the Akagami pirates along with Eagle Eyes are inside the building called the Guild."

"Building named Guild?" The angry emotions that Garp had previously had disappeared because Garp was currently confused.

The same was true for Aokiji and Gilbert who were there.

"In addition, we also want to report that currently the Kuja pirate ship is also in the waters in area 13. Their ship is currently side by side with the Akagami pirate ship. However, we currently do not find the whereabouts of Empress Boa Hancock anywhere."

"The Kuja Pirates are here too?" Gilbert frowned.

"Where is the building called the Guild?" Aokiji asked casually and didn't think much of the Kuja pirates here.

"That's the building, Admiral." The officer immediately pointed at the building that was currently under their supervision.

Aokiji, Garp, and Gilbert immediately turned their attention towards the building.

"Are you saying that inside the building there are all the commanders of the Akagami pirates along with Eagle Eyes?" Aokiji asked again while looking seriously at the building.

"That's right, Admiral. Our troops have been monitoring the Akagami pirate group along with Eagle Eyes since their arrival here. They went into that place and they haven't come out yet."

Aokiji nodded and suddenly he saw Garp who had stepped forward.

"Garp-san?" Aokiji suddenly had a bad feeling, "Where are you going, Garp-san?"

"Isn't it obvious? We'll go straight there to monitor them in person." Garp said while grinning excitedly.

"This…" Aokiji immediately fell silent as he listened to Garp's words.

"Besides, Kuzan. Take a good look at the building. I felt there was something strange there."

"Strange?" Aokiji frowned and his gaze was fixed on the building.

As Aokji's gaze stared at the building, Aokiji felt something that seemed to be calling him to come to that place.

"This…" Aokiji fell silent at the same time.

"You feel it, don't you? It's as if something is calling you to go there." Garp smirked, "There must be something in that place that made that Akagami Boy willing to leave the New World and come to this Grand Line. Let's go and check. What's in that building?"

Garp didn't wait much longer and immediately turned to leave Aokiji. Aokiji sighed and looked at Gilbert, "You do the monitoring on the spot. I will contact via den-den mushi if something happens later."

"I understand, Admiral Aokiji"

Aokiji immediately chased after Garp and the two of them walked leisurely towards the building called the Guild with a look of high curiosity.

Guilds.

*Drink*

The sound of the doorbell opening immediately attracted the attention of Shanks, along with his troop commander, Mihawk, as well as Ars who was currently sitting casually reading a light novel. All their eyes immediately turned towards the entrance and saw the unexpected guest who had come there.

"Garp!" Shanks was then very surprised to see who it was.

"Aokiji" Ben Backman narrowed his eyes with a serious look looking at Aokiji.

"Arara~ Looks like what our troops said is true. You guys are really in this place" Aokiji said casually as his gaze fell on Mihawk, "I didn't expect you to be here too, Eagle Eyes"

"Where I am is none of your business" Mihawk answered casually and resumed reading the information book he was currently holding.

This action taken by Mihawk then made Aokiji a little curious about the book that was held by Mihawk.

"Akagami!" Garp who saw Shanks immediately burned with anger, "You bastard! Because of you, Luffy has the desire to become a pirate. Stupid brat! How dare you brainwash my grandson!"

"Hey, hey. Garp, what are you saying?! I don't have anything wrong here. After all, it was Luffy himself who had the desire to become a pirate and it wasn't me who asked him to do it."

"How dare you make excuses! Then, what about the straw hat that Luffy is wearing right now?! Didn't it come from you! Damn it! Boy! Just because of you, my grandson screams every day to become a Pirate King!"

"Oh? Until now too? Hahahaha… I guess Luffy still hasn't changed" Shanks immediately laughed out loud and had no problem with Garp in front of them.

Even though the entire Akagami group is currently on alert. However, they were wary not because they were ready to fight. It was just instinct since the person in front of them was not an ordinary person.

"Bastard!" Garp was again burned with anger by Shanks.

"Stop it!" Ars who was previously watching the debate immediately stopped the conversation that was about to proceed to the battle, "This is a Guild. As long as you are in the Guild, you are not allowed to fight. If you want to fight, please do it outside or inside the dungeon. If you continue, I will not hesitate to give you punishment."

Along with the end of the sentence. Everyone in the room immediately felt an enormous pressure pressing down on their bodies. The pressure that Ars exerted immediately took a toll on the physical bodies and souls of all the people there. This also made everyone immediately fell silent and turned their attention to Ars whose face is currently flat and cold.

The pressure didn't last long as Ars immediately pulled him back, "Don't repeat your actions. If you want to fight, do it outside or in the dungeon. The guild area is used as a gathering and resting place. This is not a place to fight."

"Hahaha… Ars, I'm sorry" Shanks immediately smiled shyly and said in an apologetic tone then sat back in his place and started to focus back on the book he was currently holding.

This action by Shanks immediately attracted the attention of Garp and Aokiji. Garp and Aokiji's gazes immediately looked at Ars with serious eyes because the person in front of them right now was not an ordinary person especially that person had just given them a very frightening pressure.

"Since this is the first time coming to this place, the two of you may not be aware of the rules here. In this area fighting is prohibited. As long as there is a fight, I will immediately punish them. If you want to fight, please do it outside or maybe in a dungeon."

"Dungeons?" Aokiji and Garp asked with confused looks.

"You are new people. So you don't know about it and also the business that is done in this place. How about you guys listen to my explanation about this place? You guys also have some curiosity about the book that Mihawk and Shanks' group are currently holding, don't you?"

"Is this place not a bar… Or maybe a restaurant?" Garp asked confusedly as he looked inside the room.

"One of the functions of this place is a bar and restaurant. However, that is only a side function. This place itself has the main function as a Guild"

"Guilds?" The word immediately caught the attention of Garp and Aokiji.

"Well, you guys better listen to my explanation. So that you can know about the business that this place runs and also you know the reason why the Akagami pirates came to this place and dared to exalt the New World."

Garp and Aokiji immediately became serious and walked towards Ars to hear the explanation about this place. One of the reasons they are here is to investigate the reason why the Akagami pirates came to the Grand Line. The two of them didn't expect that they could come up with the reason so easily like this.
