One Piece: The Long Road

Naval Headquarters, Holy Land Marivendo.

Admiral Warring States stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, raised his head slightly, and looked at the blue sea horizon in the distance, his brows were wrinkled, and a cloud was permeating him.

Not long ago, the Straw Hats defeated Crocodile, one of the Qibukai, in Alabasta, breaking the balance between the forces. There was no clear candidate for the new Qibuhai, and the Warring States also felt a bit of a headache.

On the sofa opposite the desk, sitting a strong white-haired man with Erlang raised, the strong man looks lazy and listless, and looks like Lieutenant General Garp, a naval hero.

"Karp, this time your grandson did an earth-shattering thing."

Warring States suddenly sighed heavily, his expression a little worried.

"Ah." Karp raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head away, hooked his ears frivolously, and said with a look that I didn't know anything, and said: "Warring States, the donuts at the headquarters seem to be almost gone, and it can't go on like this. There's a donut eating contest."

"Kapu." Sengoku turned around, turning a blind eye to what Garp said when he pretended to be stupid, and said with a serious expression: "Recently, there have been many new pirates in the four major sea areas, including the Straw Hat Luffy and the gang, these Pirates are a new force, and they are very eye-catching among the seas, and they will definitely be a pirate force that cannot be ignored in the future."

When it comes to business, Garp, who was originally lazy, suddenly straightened, his pale eyebrows tightened slightly, and said solemnly: "The newborn chicks have not been tempered and grown, so they must not be able to roam freely in the sky."

Warring States nodded, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said in agreement: "The new pirates are always better than the navy. If these new pirates cannot be strangled in the cradle, they will inevitably pose a threat to the navy in the future. That is to say, the wings of these chicks must be removed before they spread their wings, but..."

Warring States sighed softly, walked to the chair in front of the desk, sat down, and sighed, "It's not that easy."

"In the face of pirates in the whole world, in terms of individual soldier capabilities, the navy is indeed inferior." Karp said lightly.

Sitting on a chair, Warring States put his palms against his chin, and looked at a piece of white paper on the table. There was a photo attached to the upper left corner of the white paper. It was a handsome young man. A line of names, Snod Simon.

Warring States stared at the photo, and suddenly asked, "Kapp, do you know Snod's surname?"

Karp was stunned when he heard the words, and then his eyes narrowed slightly and said, "I know a little bit, it seems that it is a family called the bloodline of the king's qualifications eight hundred years ago, but it has long since ceased to exist."

"Doesn't it exist anymore..." Sengoku whispered to himself, and then held the white paper on the table to Karp and said, "It may also be a coincidence."

Karp took the white paper suspiciously and browsed it for a while. When he saw Snod Simon, his pupils shrank slightly, and he replied very quickly.

"Huh?" It didn't take long to read all the information recorded on the white paper, and Karp said with a slight surprise: "Just as a sergeant, you almost killed Crocodile on the spot?"

"Yes, but the current position is lieutenant colonel." Warring States said lightly: "What do you think of this person?"

After decades of getting along, Garp, who was familiar with the Warring States period, reacted in an instant and knew the plan of the Warring States period.

"You want to train this person to be the strongest individual force in the center of the free regime?"

"That's right." Warring States nodded and said solemnly, "A single-soldier force with no troops, taking strangling pirates as its mission, can be considered to be able to cause some obstacles to the pirate forces."

"That's not an easy thing to do."

Although he usually behaves very nervous, it does not mean that Garp is a rough person, thinking about this matter in his mind, he only feels that there are many obstacles.

What Garp could think of, Sengoku naturally also thought of it, and now he glanced at Garp with a stern face, and suddenly chuckled, when Garp saw it, he had a bad premonition in his heart in vain.

"Snold Simon, the subordinate of Colonel Smog at the Admiralty, left the team on his own a month ago after the battle of Alabasta. It seems that he did not carry a record pointer. There is no news yet. This person seems to have a great deal of interest in pirates. His hatred, he never leaves a living, the only pirate who escaped from this person..." Sengoku glanced at Garp, who was dripping with cold sweat on his forehead, and said lightly: "It's your lovely grandson Straw Hats, if his surname is not a coincidence If so, then…”

"Uh, haha, Warring States, I suddenly remembered that I still have a few doughnuts to finish. If I don't finish them quickly, I won't be able to sleep at night."

Karp suddenly raised his head and laughed a few times, interrupting Sengoku's words, stood up very quickly, and walked towards the door while talking.

"Cap!"

A cold drink made Karp stop, and he was silent for a while. Karp sighed softly, and walked back to the sofa reluctantly to sit down.

Warring States stared at Garp seriously, and his tone was extremely serious: "The aptitude of the king, even if the chances are low, you can try it, compared to the pirates, the new blood of the UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Navy is not outstanding after all, I know You are afraid of trouble, but I have a hunch that the times are gradually changing. If you don't take some measures, I am afraid that there will be troubles at that time, so Karp, I don't ask you to take the initiative, but if you encounter it, then accept him Be a disciple, you don’t have to put in too much effort, but at least bring this person into a new door, so as to create an opportunity to create the strongest individual force outside the free regime.”

"In the future, the strongest individual naval force that can make pirates feel fearful!"

Karp frowned, looking at his friend's serious expression that he hadn't seen for many years, thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly: "Is the strongest individual naval force... I can give it a try."

Although he was reluctant, for some reason, the things recorded on the white paper flashed in his mind, and Garp actually had a passion in his heart, which was like the passion that forced Ace and Luffy to train him back then. , with a different enthusiasm from Kebi and the others, if this person named Snod Simon really has the qualifications of a king, then in the future...

It must be able to say with the Warring States period, become the strongest individual naval force that makes the pirates feel fearful!

In this regard, Karp actually looked forward to it.

At this time, Simon, who did not know that his whereabouts had been quietly decided, was still wandering in an unknowable sea area on the Great Channel, facing a huge crisis.

After sailing for a month, the food has bottomed out, but he has yet to meet the people and the island. In the absence of supplies, if this continues, Simon will starve to death in the sea.

Standing on the deck overlooking the sea horizon, Simon looked rather helpless.

The sea is endless...

Simon sighed in frustration.
