Chapter 44: The Third Quiz

[Fujitora stood beside Roja, with Naguri on the other side.]

[Garp and Aokiji didn't conceal their presence, and Roja and Fujitora sensed their arrival as soon as they entered the camp.]

"Very formidable," Fujitora remarked, standing firm not far from the two, gripping the stick and sword tightly.

[Naguri, holding a long wooden hammer, gazed at the distant pair with a notably displeased expression, saying, "Hero Garp."]

[Naguri is not widely recognized as a pirate. Although not weak, he hasn't been involved in major incidents, resulting in a relatively modest bounty.]

[Garp might not be familiar with him, but how could Naguri, a Marine hero turned pirate, not recognize Garp?]

[Legendary pirates like Roger are widely known on the seas today, and the same goes for the highest-ranking Marine figures corresponding to them.]

[Garp was right there with Roger, and Naguri had also heard about the incident at the Valley of the Gods ten years ago. It was the smiling man in front of him who brought an end to the Rocks Pirates.]

[The opponent's strength made Naguri tremble. After all, not long ago, he had been swiftly defeated by Roger in a single blow, and the Garp standing before him is undoubtedly a powerhouse on the same level as Roger.]

[The air held a slightly tense atmosphere. Compared to Fujitora and Naguri's nervous demeanour, Garp and Aokiji appeared more relaxed and composed.]

"Fight, fight."

"Charge in and take him down."

Such thoughts were prevalent among the chat room participants at the moment.

On one hand, there was curiosity about the strength of the young Fujitora, and on the other, it was human nature to enjoy the excitement without delving too deep into the consequences.

Certainly, some had already acknowledged the Roja Revolutionary Army in their hearts.

Dragon: Why did the old man suddenly return to the Kingdom of Goa? Wasn't he still following the Roger Pirates?

Roger: Don't put the blame on me. I did appear in East Blue, but I didn't dock in the Goa Kingdom.

Garp: I just happened to be near home during the pirate hunt. Isn't it normal to go home and take a break? Anyway, I'm not an Admiral.

Sengoku: ...

Saint Peter: Now, the Revolutionary Army is in trouble. Either it acts like a dragon, moving silently worldwide, or it gets wiped out directly.

In the Naval Headquarters office, Garp pinched his nose.

He couldn't shake the feeling that the Five Elders had celebrated prematurely.

Just as everyone anxiously awaited the next developments, the image on the giant screen suddenly froze.

Simultaneously, the grand voice echoed once again.

[Start of quizzes with prizes]

The mood in the chat room took a nosedive.

Anticipation turned into disappointment as the excitement was abruptly interrupted, leaving everyone in a state of uncertainty.

But soon, they found themselves drawn back into the prize quiz.

Considering that, apart from the Revolutionary Army, most other pirates and marines were eyeing the top rewards of the quiz.

Six individuals had already received rewards, with both Whitebeard and Fisher Tiger being resurrected. The other four also gained significant benefits.

While everyone held their breath in anticipation, the promised question was finally presented.

[Question: What action will Garp take against the Revolutionary Army next?]

1. Facing Fujitora and Nagli, who are formidable opponents, Garp senses something amiss, leading to a fierce conflict. Garp emerges as the victor and the two sides reconcile after resolving the misunderstanding.

2. Confronting Roja, the individual who transformed the uncertain object's terminal, Garp expresses high praise and befriends everyone. He then continues to pursue Roger a few days later.

3. Garp initially avoids conflicts but, after spending a few days in the camp, inadvertently discovers the dangerous ideas promoted by Roja. He takes action to arrest Roja, Fujitora, Naguri, and others, notifying Sora.

4. Garp notices something awry with the Revolutionary Army camp but refrains from delving deep. Instead, he informs the King of the Goa Kingdom about the transpiring events.

[5: Garp admires Roja's thoughts and actions, choosing to assist in concealing everything here, though he refrains from providing direct help.]

[6: Garp, convinced by Roja's ideas, joins the Revolutionary Army. He also persuades Aokiji to join, and both become formidable revolutionary fighters.]

[7: After communicating with Roja, Garp and Roja become close friends. Garp may not fully endorse Roja's armed revolution, but they find common ground in disliking Celestial Dragons and nobles. Eventually, Garp decides to help Roja cover up and provides him with information about Celestial Dragons and government intelligence.]

[Ten seconds of thinking time. After ten seconds, the answering question begins.]

After reading all the answer options, everyone's expressions turned peculiar.

Considering the answer choices, it appears as if Garp is remarkably similar to the 25th boy of the World Government.

Out of the seven options, five pose no harm to Roja and the others, with six or seven showcasing Garp's significant assistance to the Revolutionary Army.

It's the sort of help that directly goes against the interests of the World Government.

Six options straightforwardly involve Aokiji joining the Revolutionary Army.

This is indeed an unexpected turn of events.

When you ponder it, the image painted is genuinely captivating.

In the chat room, aside from the two directly conflicting entities, the Revolutionary Army and the World Government, most people are thoroughly entertained.

Even within the Marine under the World Government, there are quite a few high-ranking observers.

Observing this option at the moment, it's likely the faces of the Five Elders are quite amusing.

"Hey, Garp, if it were you, what do you think is your most likely choice?"

In the conference room at headquarters, Sengoku directly asked Garp.

The individual in question is right there with him, making him the person closest to the answer. This time, he must secure a reward for the Marine.

"Two, five, seven, two, and seven are more likely," Garp said with a smile, shrugging his shoulders.

"Firstly, due to the personalities of Fujitora and Naguri, they won't take the initiative to attack me. Given my personality, I won't proactively engage in conflict, making clashes highly improbable."

"Secondly, I wouldn't report even if I discover the terminal of uncertain objects. Those in power in the Kingdom of Goa can create an end to uncertain objects, and Roja can transform it into a peaceful village and town. Why bother considering the group of idiot nobles in the Goa Kingdom?"

"Moreover, I'm most likely to help them. Celestial Dragons are not a pleasant matter. Just providing some information about Celestial Dragons means nothing to me."

"Of course, there's also a high possibility that I didn't find anything and left directly. That possibility isn't small."

Garp smiled and continued, "But I will choose the seventh option."

Sengoku nodded.

"Hmph, Garp, colluding with the rebels, typical of you."

Akainu couldn't help but snort coldly, but he silently confirmed his answer in his heart.

Seven.
