General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 694 Garp is dying

Looking at Rayleigh who died with a smile on his face, Garp moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.

He slowly pulled his fist out of Rayleigh's heart, and his body seemed to have lost all its strength and fell to the ground beside Rayleigh.

As Reilly pulled his fingers out of his throat, more blood began to pour out from Garp's throat, turning his neck, shoulders and back red.

"Lieutenant General Garp!"

Bogart's eyes were red, and he rushed over quickly. While taking out the phone from his body to make a call, he quickly took out a bandage and bandaged the bloody hole in Garp's throat, trying to help him stop the gushing blood.

Garp remained motionless, just lying next to Rayleigh, looking at the sky above with the same absentmindedness, clearly feeling his own vitality dissipating little by little as the blood flowed out.

Dying?

Maybe it would be nice to just die like this, right?

Karp thought so.

Therefore, Garp decided to stay. He wanted to use his actual actions to influence the entire navy's view of justice and influence more outstanding sailors, so that the navy could move from being an accomplice to the World Government and gradually move towards the true guardian of the sea. .

After experiencing so many things, Garp thought he had seen through everything.

Garp wants to leave the Navy. He doesn't want to be the executioner who brings harm to the world.

But slowly, he saw the cruelty of the Celestial Dragons, the cruelty of the world government towards non-member countries, and the tragedy of countless innocent people caused by the wanton plundering of the Golden Time in the sky.

These powerful men who wreaked havoc on the sea had to become pirates because they were persecuted by the World Government.

However, the idea is beautiful, but it is extremely difficult to implement.

Along the way, he had seen too many joys and sorrows, felt countless joys and sorrows, fought against countless powerful enemies, and witnessed the rise and fall of countless strong men.

If he leaves, and Sengoku, Xiaohe, and Zefa all leave, the navy will only become worse.

From a passionate teenager, to a high-spirited young man, to a middle-aged man in his prime, to an old man with weak physical strength.

This bad world cannot be changed by just relying on one's own courage.

And their navy is the sharp knife in the hands of the World Government, and is the accomplice that has led to countless brutal incidents.

He devoted his whole life to the navy and justice without reservation.

Fifty or sixty years, what a long time.

Because he can't leave.

It turns out that the world government is the biggest evil in the world, and their navy is a helper.

At that time, his dislike for the World Government and the Celestial Dragons had reached its limit.

But today, when he suddenly looked back, he realized that he had been trapped in the quagmire of life that he could never escape from.

But later, he stayed, continued to be a navy, and continued to catch pirates on the sea for ten years.

As a veteran, he has been fighting pirates for fifty or sixty years in this chaotic sea in order to uphold justice.

Whitebeard, Bartholomew the Bear, Douglas Barrett, Kaido...

At the beginning, he believed that pirates were the biggest evil in the world. If he wanted to make the world a better place, he had to eliminate pirates from the world. Therefore, he took the lead countless times and led the navy to the battlefields of the new world. Fighting against notorious pirates, and capturing countless pirates who wreaked havoc on the sea.

The resistance from all aspects, including pirates, the World Government, and even within the Navy, was like a tide, constantly coming in, constantly preventing him and Zefa from achieving that goal.

For this reason, he charged forward countless times and fought with Rocks, Roger, and Whitebeard.

He gave up his promotion to admiral several times, not wanting to further become a knife in the hands of the World Government.

However, people are helpless in the sea.

As long as you are in the navy, you have to obey the orders of the World Government and do things that go against your conscience.

The Valley of the Gods incident, the O'Hara Demon Slaying Order, and the Batelila Island incident in the South China Sea were all bad events that impacted the navy's spiritual defense line, and they happened again and again.

After experiencing all these, even if his will was as firm as his, it began to waver.

Can they really accomplish that goal?
Can the justice of the navy really become pure justice?

Karp lost confidence.

Absolutely not.

Because he saw that all senior navy officials, including himself, had changed after experiencing those things.

Warring States has become too rational. He can make the most correct, but not necessarily merciful, choice between the interests of the majority and the interests of the minority without hesitation.

Akainu became extreme, Kizaru became undisciplined, and Aokiji became lazy.

Even he himself has become lazy and no longer often catches pirates.

Zefa didn't change.

But perhaps because he remained unchanged, all the disasters befell him one by one.

And Dorag...

He was once proud and often showed off in front of the Warring States Period, saying that he would be able to defeat Akainu and Kizaru and become the strongest admiral in the navy, and even become the son of the marshal. However, after experiencing what he had already experienced, Even after being numbed by those things, he resolutely chose to defect from the navy and established a revolutionary army to fight against the world government.

But now, after experiencing this war, Garp can already make a rough guess about the future direction of the navy. Although Sengoku recommended Aokiji to become the new naval marshal, the World Government and most of the naval generals supported Akainu.

Given the gap between the two that had already occurred during the O'Hara Demon Slaying Order incident, there would definitely not be a peaceful election for the position of marshal this time.

And once the fight begins, how can the confused Aokiji be a match for the decisive and decisive Akainu?
Once Akainu succeeds in becoming the marshal of the navy, the justice of the navy that he, Sengoku, Zefa, and Xiaozuru have spent decades trying to guide will probably be completely in vain, and the navy will once again become A lackey in the hands of the world government.

And it will become more thorough.

The only variable Garp could think of was Rorschach.

If Rorschach can stick to his ideals and is not affected by Akainu's extreme justice, then maybe in the near future, the Navy will have hope to get back on track and continue to uphold justice instead of becoming a thug, accomplice, and executioner. .

On the edge of the sunken sinkhole, a large number of Nine Snakes Pirates soldiers holding bows and arrows were tensely confronting the hundreds of sailors brought by Bogart.

At the bottom of the pit, Granny New and Marigrud looked at the dead Rayleigh with sad faces and were crying.

For Mary Grudd, Reilly has been a savior to her and the three Hancock sisters.

Back then, the three sisters escaped from Mariejoia due to the incident of Tiger forcing his way into the Holy Land to free slaves, and were chased and arrested by the navy. Thanks to the help of Rayleigh and Xia Qi, they were able to escape back to their daughter's country.

If Rayleigh hadn't stopped the pursuers, they might have been recaptured back to that nightmarish place in Mary Joa.

Hancock, who had a frosty face, looked at Garp with murderous intent in his eyes, who was protected by Bogart and was dying due to excessive blood loss. It seemed that he would die like Rayleigh at any time.

"Pirate Empress! What are you going to do?" Bogart pulled out his long knife and held it in front of him. As long as Hancock took another step forward, he would chop out the long knife in his hand without hesitation.

"What are the Aijia going to do?" Hancock's eyes were cold. "Your navy broke into the waters of Nine Snake Island without permission and destroyed the Aijia's kingdom into this state. Not to mention, you also killed... Rayleigh. ! Even if Luffy's grandfather commits such a heinous crime, it is unforgivable."

Although Hancock has a cold and arrogant temperament, he never seems to take other people seriously, and he doesn't seem to be polite at all when talking to Rayleigh.

But in fact, deep down in her heart, she was still very grateful to Rayleigh for saving the lives of the three sisters.

Now this savior died miserably under his nose. At this moment, even though he knew Garp's identity and was Luffy's grandfather, Hancock felt great resentment and murderous intent in his heart.

Seeing her approaching Bogart step by step, Marigrud and others said nothing. The surrounding navy raised their muskets, and the soldiers of the Nine Snakes Pirates also had their bows and arrows on the strings, ready to go off.

At this moment, Granny New came panting and saw the two miserable people lying side by side on the ground, with sadness and unbearable expressions on their wrinkled faces.

Both Garp and Rayleigh were old acquaintances she had known many years ago.

During the battle in the Valley of the Gods, the Rocks Pirates, the Roger Pirates, and the Navy Headquarters led by Garp fought a shocking battle in the Valley of the Gods. It was a hearty battle. , meet your opponent in chess.

Later, the Rocks Pirates fell apart, Roger surrendered and died. She, Rayleigh and others all put down their weapons and chose to retire. Therefore, Garp, a naval hero who hated evil and hated evil, did not kill them all too much.

Granny New's real name is Ancient Loliosa, Amazon Lily's former emperor, and a former crew member of the Rocks Pirates.

Although Garp and Rayleigh were both her rivals and enemies back then, this did not hinder her respect for them at all.

But now, these two old 'comrades' who had even fought side by side against the Rocks Pirates were now fighting each other, with one dead and the other injured.

How to not make people feel embarrassed.

Seeing Hancock approaching Bogart with murderous intent on his face, as well as the Nine Snakes Pirates and Marines in a tense confrontation, Granny New quickly rushed to Hancock and blocked her way.

Hancock raised his eyebrows and looked at Granny New who was blocking him displeased, "What are you doing?"

Granny New was panting, "She Ji, stop it, you can't attack Garp."

"Why? He killed Rayleigh! Get out of the way of the Ai family, old woman!" Hancock yelled angrily.

"No! No matter what, I will never allow you to take action against Garp!" Granny New said loudly: "Not to mention Garp is Luffy's grandfather, if you really killed his grandfather, he would still accept it You? Furthermore, think about Garp’s status in the navy! He is a naval hero, the object of admiration and admiration by countless sailors, and you are the King of the Seven Warlords and a pirate. Think about it, if you This pirate openly killed a very important figure in the navy. What kind of disaster will happen to the Nine Snakes Pirates and the Daughter Country? "

Hancock's eyes turned cold and he wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that what Granny New said did make sense.

She was not afraid that the navy would come to cause trouble.

Hancock was worried about the former, that Luffy would hate her for it.

However, even if he didn't take action against Garp, looking at his dying appearance, he probably wouldn't be able to survive for long, right?
The battle between Garp and Rayleigh ended in disgrace, with both sides losing.

Seemingly seeing what Hancock was thinking, Granny New continued: "Snake Lady, not only can we not harm Garp, we must also do our best to treat him, otherwise the subsequent admirals will come and find Garp dead here. We will probably get into unnecessary trouble."

"What? You want to treat him? What a joke! Did Rayleigh die in vain?" Hancock's expression changed, and he almost couldn't help but kick Granny New in front of him away.

"At least he must not die here, otherwise we will have nothing to say. The current naval momentum is at its peak because of the defeat of Whitebeard, and no one will be allowed to challenge their authority at this juncture. Think of that man who is like a genius. , Snake Ji, you don’t want to face him again.”

Granny New's original intention was to persuade him with nice words, but who knew that she just said something about that man, and Hancock's face, which had calmed down a little, instantly became extremely ugly.

"If he dares to come, the Ai family will kill him without a burial place! How dare he treat the Ai family like that in Marineland, it is simply unforgivable!" She gritted her teeth and turned around bitterly, not waiting for Granny New and Marigrew. De and others tried to dissuade them, and they directly pulled their hands, and a pink heart-shaped balloon appeared in their hands, from which pink arrows as dense as a rainstorm were shot towards the crowd of sailors holding weapons.

All the sailors who were hit by these pink arrows, without exception, fell into a petrified state without any resistance. Instead of fear on their petrified faces, they were filled with intoxication and obsession.

"She Ji!" Granny New was shocked.

She also wanted to persuade Hancock to remove the petrification, but Hancock had already walked aside with a cold face, sat on the coiled pink python and ignored her persuasion.

When Bogart saw all the sailors being petrified by Hancock's power, he didn't say anything. He just sullenly squatted in front of Garp, waiting anxiously for someone from the Navy headquarters.

I hope the headquarters can send someone over as soon as possible, preferably with a doctor.

However, Malinfando is more than a thousand kilometers away from here?
Even the fastest Kizaru would take a lot of time to get there, not to mention bringing a doctor with him.

Can Garp, who is dying due to excessive blood loss, really be able to survive until that time?
