Chapter 559: Friendship, Family Affection, and ......
Soon the news was announced.
In view of Jinping's refusal to cooperate with the navy's actions against Whitebeard, the world government and the navy withdrew his title of the Seven Martial Seas.
— and put him in jail as well.
The place where he was being held was also the cell where Ace was held.
As a result, the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty became the Six Martial Seas of His Majesty again after they were full.
Why? This is a problem.
……
Now let's move the timeline back a bit.
When Luffy attacked the Draconians in the Chambord Islands, Mawson was escorting Ace to the Deep Sea Prison.
Probably when the yellow ape beat a group of children under the slogan of 'one bite is terrible, one foot is a supernova', Mawson's side also came to the deep sea prison Impelton without any waves, and imprisoned Ace on the sixth floor.
At the same time, he also put the former Cp9 and his current subordinate Rob Lucci and his group in prison.
Well, since Kalifa has been relieved of this mission because she has already taken over as secretary.
Several others fainted in the deep-sea prison crying.
Of course, the object of Kalifa's service is no longer Mawson, but has become the junior lieutenant Ain.
Maybe who's envious of whom!
On the surface, they are detained, but in fact, several people are in separate cells, and even the handcuffs are ordinary handcuffs, for fear that they will not be able to break free.
Coincidentally, they were held not far from the Don Quixote cadres.
These are not big problems, and Mawson will leave directly after explaining it.
Because of the reason for saying hello, Ace was not tortured by the package of the Advance City, but was directly locked up in the sixth layer of the Advance City.
After completing these tasks, he immediately rushed back to the naval headquarters to report to the Warring States.
This led to various things such as the announcement of Ace's public execution and the naval meeting.
Time freezes here.
Old man Karp came directly to the Sengoku office after the meeting.
After entering the door this time, he didn't sit down and drink tea as before, but went straight to the point: "Warring States, the old man is going to advance the city!" ”
At this time, Sengoku looked a little tired, even if he was strong, after all, he was already a 77-year-old man.
During this time, thinking about dealing with Whitebeard was already physically and mentally exhausted.
After a long silence, Sengoku said, "You should understand your identity, Karp!" ”
Karp also looked at the Warring States quietly, their decades of affection would naturally not be affected by Ace's incident, not to mention that he also understood the character of the Warring States, once it came to this kind of major event in the future of the navy, there was no emotion at all.
But to say that there is no suspicion at all is unrealistic.
After all, people are not machines, even if Karp has a stubborn character, he has his own feelings.
The person locked up in Advance City is also the grandson he has always cared for!
"The old man is not old enough to forget his identity, so this time it is just an ordinary grandfather's visit to his grandson, and nothing else will be involved!"
Sengoku nodded: "I believe in your integrity as a naval veteran. ”
After a pause, he continued, "Karp, how many years have we known each other?" ”
"More than fifty years, right?"
Karp didn't know what Sengoku meant by suddenly asking, but he still answered.
"It's been 58 years."
Sengoku sighed, "At that time, I was nineteen, you were eighteen, Xiaohe was sixteen, and Zefa was fourteen, and we were all in the same group to join the navy. ”
As he spoke, Sengoku pushed his glasses up and stood up.
He looked at Karp and said, "Among the students in the same period, you have always been the strongest one, and that guy from Zefa is the most desperate, Xiaohe and I are much worse than the two of you in this regard, although we are both capable people."
Later, Locks became famous as the most powerful sea thief in the New World, but in the end, we didn't play a role, but you and Roger teamed up to clean up Locks.
Then came the rise of Roger, Whitebeard, and the Golden Lion, which made a mess of the New World.
Especially Roger, who had only one ship at the time, unexpectedly defeated the Golden Lion and went to Ralph Drew to be the king of the pirates. ”
Sengoku's words evoked Karp's memories, and his face became vivid.
"Ahahahaha, Roger's bastard is really powerful, although the old man can chase him all over the world, but he still can't catch him, and in the end, this guy turned himself in and caught him."
Although the world government claims that it was Roger who was captured by the Navy, they naturally know the truth, and there is no need to hide anything here.
Sengoku didn't care about Karp's words, he looked at Karp and asked, "Ace, is he Roger's child who has never been caught?" ”
After a pause, Karp nodded.
Since Ace went to sea, he didn't expect to be able to hide it from Sengoku all the time, and although Old Man Karp has a tendon, he is not stupid.
Sengoku is known as a 'wise general', and he has had a friendship with him for most of his life, so it can be said that he knows himself better than himself.
To say that after such a long time of searching, there is still no trace of Ace, and Sengoku has not guessed him, and even the old man Karp himself does not believe it.
It's just tacit.
A few years ago, it was nothing if I didn't say anything, after all, no one could have calculated that Ace would become a pirate and the captain of Whitebeard's second team.
At the moment, it is a different situation, and there is no need to continue to hide it.
Sengoku pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose and wrapped his arms around his chest: "After Roger was executed, Whitebeard was the weather vane of all pirates, and if this guy didn't fall for a day, he would lead countless people to the sea."
You also see Ace's potential, if he is allowed to continue to grow in the Whitebeard Pirates, it is inevitable that he will not become the next Roger.
This is a wonderful opportunity, Karp, and it would be irresponsible for me as a marshal to give up this opportunity to all the sailors, and to be irresponsible to my own position.
No matter who is in prison, even if it is my grandchildren, I will not give up this opportunity to deal with Whitebeard.
If you're going to blame, blame me! ”
Sengoku's words made Karp's fists clench and put down, and he was silent for a long time before shaking his head and said: "It doesn't matter who blames, since Ace went to sea to become a pirate, he should have such an awareness, this enlightenment old man...... There are too! ”
After a deep glance at Karp, Sengoku waved his hand: "Okay, you go!" ”
Karp turned around and walked outside, leaving Sengoku alone in the room.
He looked at the door where his old friend had disappeared, and was speechless for a long time, and even his upright figure seemed a little stiff.
With a faint sigh, Sengoku put aside those useless emotions, returned to his office position, and continued to be busy.
The various plans to deal with Whitebeard must not be sloppy.
……
……
The Great Prison of the Deep Sea.
It is located in a windless zone, so it is impossible for outsiders to know the exact location, and because of the triangular current between the island of Justice and the naval headquarters, it is difficult to reach it even if you know the location.
The three huge Gates of Justice not only control the flow of currents, but also act as a natural barrier.
During this time, the city has been much busier than ever.
Advance City is always busy, and as a prison that has existed for hundreds of years, there are literally countless criminals who have been held here.
With the exception of the sixth tier, most of the prisoners in the other five tiers do not enjoy life imprisonment.
Otherwise, the entire Advance City would have been overcrowded long ago.
Some of them die because they can't bear to enjoy certain packages, some are executed because they lose their value, and some are sent to various research institutes or secret places to extract surplus value.
For the average pirate, this is a terrifying hell to talk about, and most of the vicious pirates who come here will soon reveal their vulnerable side.
However, the sixth floor is different from the other floors because of the identity of the prisoners inside.
In particular, the various sea pirates who were imprisoned alone in the depths of the sixth layer would be treated differently depending on their own circumstances.
It's just that the guys who can be locked up in solitary confinement, each of them has their own unique abilities and style, and the original packages of the promotion city are not suitable for them in many cases.
For example, the original Celestial Dragon, the king of the Seven Martial Seas, Flamingo, has never served various set menus, and even sometimes Magellan has to be careful not to be killed by some people.
And this time, the guy who was newly imprisoned in the sixth layer needed to be tortured according to the original process, but with Mo Sen greeting him first, he was spared the pain of flesh and skin.
It doesn't make the injuries of the body worse.
So when Karp appeared in front of Ace, in addition to being completely restricted from his freedom of movement by the Hailou Stone chain, his mental state and body were fine.
Ace had his arms open and was locked to the wall of his cell by Hailoushi, and because of his height, he could only sit on his knees or sit on the cold ground.
This is a very uncomfortable and humiliating posture, the upper body is fixed on the wall made of Hailou stone, and the feet are also shackled with Hailou stone, there is no way to make any big movements, and maintaining this posture for a long time will cause a lot of damage to the body.
Fortunately, even if Ace was banned by Hailou Stone, his own physical skills were also quite good, so he wouldn't be able to stand even this little torture.
Karp walked to the outside of Ace's cell, sat cross-legged on the ground, and looked at Ace with his hands around him.
This extremely silent sixth floor seems to have split a huge space, and the cage in front of you and the Karp at the door have become an independent space.
It's actually normal to not be accompanied by someone from the prison, and Old Man Karp still has this line of appearance as a naval hero.
"Old ...... Old man~"
Ace knew who showed up, and he opened his mouth with some obscurity.
Karp clasped his nostrils with one hand: "It's been so long, can't you even shout a word of grandpa?" In that regard, Luffy is a lot more obedient than you.
Although he is as stubborn as you, at least under the iron fist of the old man's love, he still respects the old man's grandfather very much. ”
Even in the current situation, Ace couldn't help but pout and roll his eyes upward.
I believe your shoes, you bad old man!
