Bleach: Beginning Fusion Gilgamesh Template

Chapter 183: Garp's decision, the turbulent situation!

Rogue Town, naval base.

Smoker, soaking wet and disheveled, stood in his office, gazing at Rogue Port.

He could see Gilgamesh and Luffy's group boarding the ship to leave Rogue Town.

Thinking back to the battles that had just taken place, Smoker's face became terribly gloomy.

Smoker accepted his defeat to Gilgamesh.

But he didn't gain any advantage in the battle with Luffy, Zoro and Sanji.

If it weren't for the ability of his Smoke Fruit, he would have lost based on combat skills alone.

Among them, Zoro even directly cut off his seastone ten hands.

Although only the top of his Seastone Ten Tricks was inlaid with seastone, the whole thing was made of steel. The fact that Zoro was able to cut it off showed that his swordsmanship had reached the level of cutting through steel.

In other words, Zoro has already taken the initial step into the ranks of swordsmen.

The swordsman may not be a big deal in the Grand Line, but in the East China Sea he is definitely a master that is rarely seen in a century.

Straw Hat Luffy was able to gather such companions in the East China Sea. What a great fortune!
Thinking of this, Smoker couldn't help but think of Luffy's smile when he faced death, and he couldn't help but muttered: "Could it be that he saw Luffy's potential?"

Just then, Dashigi pushed the door open.

Dashigi, who was about to speak, suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the office.

Looking at Smoker standing in front of the window with a low pressure around him, Dashiqi couldn't help swallowing and said cautiously: "Colonel Smoker, I have written a report on this incident. Can you take a look at it?"

"If possible, I will submit this report to the headquarters."

Smoker said nothing, but just stretched out a hand towards Tashigi.

Dashiqi understood and immediately handed over the report she had written.

Smoker read it silently, and the office fell into a long silence again.

When Tashigi couldn't stand it any longer, Smoker said, "Add two more points to the report."

"First, Gilgamesh not only has the power to summon storms, but also the power to summon thunder."

"Secondly, the Straw Hat Pirates have great potential for development and may reach the level of the Four Emperors in the future. I suggest that the headquarters issue a wanted bounty for all members of the Straw Hat Pirates."

Dashigi was stunned, a look of disbelief flashed across her face.

She never expected that Smoker would be so optimistic about the Straw Hat Pirates.

Those are the Four Emperors. If the Straw Hat Pirates can really develop into the Four Emperors, doesn’t that mean that the Straw Hat Pirates alone will have the strength to challenge the Navy in the future?
However, Tashigi had no doubt about Smoker's words. After forcibly suppressing the throbbing in her heart, she immediately went to make a supplementary report.

Smoker returned to his desk, and regardless of his wet clothes, he sat directly on the recliner, lit a cigar and started smoking.

Amid the smoke, Smoker's thoughts began to drift away.

In fact, Smoker is not really optimistic about the Straw Hat Pirates, nor does he really think that the Straw Hat Pirates will be able to reach the level of the Four Emperors in the future.

He just exaggerated the potential of the Straw Hat Pirates as much as possible. Only in this way would the headquarters really pay attention to it and take measures against it.

The reason why he did this was because there seemed to be a voice in his heart telling him that if the Straw Hat Pirates were not curbed early, they might not be able to be curbed in the future.

It's a hunch, or instinct.

Whenever Smoker tried to ignore it, he would always feel uneasy.

In the original work, after the Rogue Town incident, Smoker was the first person to go out to sea in order to capture the Straw Hat Pirates personally.

But after Gilgamesh intervened, Smoker no longer wanted to capture the Straw Hat Pirates himself.

He knew very well that as long as Gilgamesh was there, he would not be able to capture the Straw Hat Pirates no matter what with his strength.

Perhaps, only the admirals of the Marine Headquarters can successfully capture the Straw Hat Pirates.

On the other side, the Navy Headquarters, the Marshal's Office.

Sengoku was dealing with heavy documents, while at the reception tea table nearby, Garp was eating senbei in big mouthfuls, looking heartless.

Click! Click! Click!

The crisp sound of senbei being crushed kept ringing in Sengoku's ears, making it impossible for him to concentrate on his work.

At first, Sengoku could still tolerate it, but after a while, he couldn't stand it anymore. Veins on his forehead throbbed and he yelled at Garp, "If you want to eat senbei, go back to your own office. Why are you eating here?"

Garp was not affected at all, and continued to eat senbei, laughing and perfunctorily saying: "It's not that the sofa over here is more comfortable, the senbei tastes better here."

Zhan Guo rolled his eyes fiercely. This statement was only suitable for fooling children.

Just when Zhan Guo was about to say something, there was a slightly anxious knock on the door.

Zhan Guo glared at Garp, then sorted himself out and said in a deep voice to the outside of the door: "Come in."

The navy captain in charge of communications immediately pushed the door open and came in. He ignored Garp who was sitting next to him and went straight to Zhan Guo's desk. He handed the document in his hand to him and said, "This is the report sent by Rogge Town. Please take a look."

Zhan Guo was shocked when he heard this, because he knew that Gilgamesh appeared in Rogue Town.

As expected, this report was directed at Gilgamesh.

Without hesitation, Zhan Guo took the report and started reading it.

Soon, Sengoku frowned. He really didn't expect that in addition to Gilgamesh's swordsmanship level being comparable to Hawkeye Mihawk, he could also summon storms and thunder.

Such an ability is extremely rare and powerful even among devil fruits.

But Sengoku couldn't tell what kind of devil fruit Gilgamesh had eaten for a while.

But this did not prevent Zhan Guo from raising the level of danger of Gilgamesh by several levels in his mind.

With Gilgamesh's own swordsmanship level, coupled with the rare and powerful ability of the devil fruit, if he were to fight Hawkeye Mihawk with full force, it would be hard to say who would win.

Of course, in the mind of the Warring States, Gilgamesh has a greater chance of winning.

Although Haki is very effective in restraining Devil Fruits, how could a strong man with Gilgamesh's strength not have mastered Haki?

Even in the report submitted by Rogue Town, it was mentioned that Gilgamesh had clearly mastered the Armament Haki and Conqueror Haki.

Forcing himself to suppress his fluctuating emotions, Zhan Guo continued reading.

Garp had stopped eating senbei at this moment, and quietly walked to the side of Sengoku. Ever since he knew that Gilgamesh appeared in Rogue Town, Garp stayed in Sengoku's office, just to get the information about his grandson as soon as possible.

In the eyes of Sengoku and Garp, they saw Smoker's judgment on the development potential of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Seeing this, Zhan Guo could no longer sit still and stood up directly, his face full of shock.

Although Smoker was only a naval colonel stationed in Rogge Town in the East China Sea, Zhan Guo knew him.

Smoker is a good-looking junior navy man in the Warring States Period. He was originally developing in the Navy Headquarters, but because of his personality, he was sent to Rogue Town for training.

If nothing unexpected happens, Smoker will return to the Navy Headquarters in the future and become the main force of the new generation of the Navy.

Therefore, although Zhan Guo did not completely believe in Smoker's vision and judgment, he still attached great importance to it.

Garp was also surprised, but then he burst into laughter: "He really is worthy of being my grandson. That smoker thinks so highly of him!"

It would have been fine if Garp didn't say anything, but as soon as he spoke, Sengoku immediately became furious and roared at him: "How dare you say that!"

"If you teach your grandson well, he will definitely become a navy admiral in the future, or even a navy marshal."

"But now you have become a pirate, and a pirate with great potential for future development. What do you think we should do?"

Garp did not refute. Luffy did not become a navy as he had expected, but instead became a pirate. This matter has become a thorn in his heart.

Not only Luffy, Ace is still the same.

If this thorn is not removed, it will be really uncomfortable.

Garp stretched out his hand and pinched his chin, and said solemnly: "After Rogue Town, we should enter the Grand Line through the Upside-Down Mountain."

"How about this, I'll go there myself and capture that kid Luffy and bring him back to serve as a marine."

Sengoku was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect Garp to say that.

But he soon realized what Karp was planning.

Because even if Garp doesn't go, Sengoku will send other generals to go, if not for others, then to confirm the truth about Gilgamesh.

As for the development potential of the Straw Hat Pirates, it is just potential. It needs opportunities to develop.

There are countless potential pirate groups that have appeared on this sea, but most of them died halfway.

But Gilgamesh is different, his strength is there and must be confirmed.

If other admirals went, they would not have any scruples and would most likely deal with the Straw Hat Pirates. Any accidents might happen in the process.

So, Karp did this to prevent all accidents.

Garp really worries about his grandson.

Of course he believed in Garp's strength, but he was not sure whether Garp would show mercy.

After thinking carefully for a while, Zhan Guo said, "Okay, but let me be frank. If you fail for personal reasons, I will definitely send out generals, and there may be more than one general."

Garp knew that Sengoku was giving him face, so he immediately agreed, "Okay."

After saying that, he no longer stayed in Zhan Guo's office and turned around and left.

In the past, when watching Garp's departing back, Sengoku just felt at ease, because every mission of Garp was basically carried out perfectly.

But this time.
Zhan Guo came to the window, looked at the endless blue sea, sighed deeply and said: "I hope there won't be any twists and turns."

On the other side, the Twin Capes at the foot of Upside Down Mountain.

This is the first stop for the Straw Hat Pirates arriving at the Grand Line and also the entrance to the first half of the Grand Line.

At this time, the Merry was docked next to the Twin Cape Lighthouse.

The keeper of the Twin Point Lighthouse is an old man named Crocus.

Don't be fooled by Krocus's unattractive appearance, but Gilgamesh knows that he used to be the ship's doctor of Roger's pirate group and one of the best doctors in the world.

Pluto Rayleigh, the vice-captain of Roger's pirate group, said that Krocus was the only one who could relieve the pain caused by Roger's terminal illness.

It was also with Krocus's treatment that Roger was able to maintain his life with difficulty, and eventually dominated the Grand Line and became the Pirate King.

The reason why the Merry stopped here was because Gilgamesh wanted to understand the principles of the operation of domineering through Krocus.

Even though Gilgamesh is extremely intelligent, it would take him some time to figure out how to practice his domineering aura if he didn't know the principles of how it works.

Gilgamesh didn't want to waste time on this, so he went straight to Krocus.

Krocas originally didn't want to pay any attention to Gilgamesh, even though Gilgamesh was the most amazing person he had ever seen in his life.

But Gilgamesh said he had information about the Rumba Pirates, which forced Crocus to change his mind.

At Krocus's age, the only person he cares about, apart from his former companions, is probably the whale Laboo, who has been with him for a long time.

And Lab has a deep bond with the Rumba Pirates.

In the past, the Rumbar Pirates decided to venture into the Grand Line. Since the voyage was too dangerous, they left Lab at Upside Down Mountain and asked Lab to wait there for a while. They agreed that "we will meet again when we go around the world and come back."

So little Labu stayed with tears in his eyes, waiting for the return of the Lumba Pirates on this side of the Red Earth Continent.

However, this wait lasted for 50 years. Little Lab has grown into the largest island whale in the world, but the Rumbar Pirates have never returned.

One of the reasons why Krocus accepted Roger's invitation was that he wanted to help Lab find the Rumbar Pirates, but he found nothing.

At this time, under the Twin Cape Lighthouse, Krocus listened silently to the message Gilgamesh said.

Crocus was not surprised when he learned that almost all members of the Rumbar Pirates were killed.

Obviously, Krocas had anticipated this result.

But when he learned that there was still a member of the Rumba Pirates alive, he suddenly became alert and immediately asked where he was.

Gilgamesh did not hide anything and said directly: "The remaining member of the Rumbar Pirates is named Brook."

"He is still alive now because he ate the Yellow Spring Fruit when he was alive, but his body has turned into a skeleton."

"As for where he is now, it is in the foggy sea area in the first half of the Grand Line. It should now be ruled by Moonlight Moria."

Crocus couldn't help but frowned, and glanced at Laboo who was competing with Luffy in the distance. He thought for a moment and said, "I can teach you the training method of Haki, but I hope you can help me find Brook and tell him that Laboo has been waiting for him."
