One Piece: My Infinity Gauntlet!
Chapter 280 - 280 - The Divine Diplomat: Garp

Will is not the no-name Shichibukai from the beginning anymore, and Sengoku is obviously not the Fleet Admiral who carried everything on his shoulders.

So the two speak a bit like old friends, though not so good friends...

"Although I have long seen that your ambition will not yield to the Shichibukai, but what I did not expect was that you would rise so quickly, and now look, the navy lost a lot in the War of the Best but cleared the way for you. Should I say that for you to become the Fourth Emperor, half of the credit should be ours, right?"

Sengoku said half-joking, half-serious.

Although it is his choice, if he were to choose again, he would most likely still start a war on the best, but the feeling of just making a graft for someone else for nothing is still very unpleasant.

This time he came to negotiate, but also with the task of detecting the next movements of Will, the new Fourth Emperor, so it is good to take advantage of these facts to occupy a little advantage.

Will didn't expect that Sengoku would be so shameless as soon as he opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute it, because he really used the War of the Best to make too much profit for himself, and even laid the foundation for him to become the Fourth Emperor. It's not an exaggeration to say that the navy is completely used once.

But come on, we're enemies, not partners, and I can't give you a reward afterwards?

It's so fucking… Shameless!

"Don't say such things, it's not the first time we deal with each other, it's just using each other, everyone's time is precious, so let's talk about something practical, you two came here specifically not to ask for this half of the 'credit', right?"

Sengoku hasn't even waited to speak, but can't stand his inarticulate words. So what else would he say?

"Hey! Sengoku! Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

Garp's spittle flew in the air, and not only was the questioned Will dumbfounded, but his fellow partner, Sengoku, was even more furious as his face turned red and then livid!

I Should have just left this old bastard on the Ship, it was a fucking mistake to bring him in or something!

However, Garp didn't feel at all that he was doing anything wrong, he just looked like he was hanging onto his nostrils, and almost his whole finger went in, and then buckled out a good big indescribable piece, and it bounced off...

"Well, that's pretty much it, you think about the answer and we'll leave when we hear what we want."

"Garp!"

Sengoku's whole body trembled with anger. Several times he pointed to Garp's nose and wanted to yell but did not make a sound. Will was afraid that the old man would belch directly.

What's more, what Garp said is very interesting. What does it mean to "leave what you want", that is to say, if the answer is not satisfactory, you will take action. ?

Will frowned slightly. For a while, he was somewhat unsure of what Garp wanted to do. In fact, even Sengoku did not understand what was going on with his old friend's mind, so he pointed out all the things that should be inquired secretly. Are you counting on this guy in front of them, to tell the truth?

In the end, Sengoku also gave up thinking about it and waited for Will to reply with a silent look.

In the past, the most they would do was to have a little fight, and no one wanted to go to war, but with the precedent set by Whitebeard, and with the Navy's obvious power decline and a few cards on the table, it was clear that after the war was over. It has already made a lot of people excited.

And now the navy is in a period of weakness, with Aokiji in power, Akainu dead, Kizaru half-crippled, Sengoku retired, and Garp playing dead...

In order to make up for the lack of high-end combat power, the world government has also taken a liking to the guy who calls himself Whitebeard II, and has directly recruited him as a Shichibukai, so much so that he directly forced the former admiral out.

The Navy is now in a complete mess, but it is also a chillingly centrifugal mess.

It is up to Aokiji to replace a way to lead the Navy out of this mess once he takes his position.

Unwittingly, the gap between the world government and the navy has grown deeper and deeper, sowing seeds of unease.

After thinking about it, Will is ready to appease the navy, which has never been his real enemy in his plan except for scum like Colonel Mouse and the world will need the navy to maintain law and order and justice after he overthrows the Celestial Dragons rules.

But that didn't mean he didn't want to seek justice!

"Before I answer those questions, I'd like to ask the former Fleet Admiral, if you had it to do over again, would you still choose to suppress what happened in the village of Cocoyashi and then put a bounty on me?"

The eyes of the already silent Sengoku grew darker and darker, and there was a time when he too asked himself this question, and not only this time, but he also asked himself if he regretted all the things he had done since he took the position of Fleet Admiral, which deviated from his original beliefs.

Did he regret it?

Yes!

But he regretted not that he had not reorganized the navy as Will had said, but that he had not reorganized the navy under his administration so that there were so many black sheep!

So his answer was: "If I could choose again, I would firmly weed out these black sheep, even under great pressure to reorganize the Navy!"

The implication is that he does not regret his response!

But now he can't do it, so he'll leave it to the new fleet admiral to finish the job.

Sengoku sighed grudgingly, but he had great expectations of Aokiji! He hoped that Aokiji would be able to accomplish what he had been unable to do during his reign!

The answer was not surprising, but it was a Sengoku -like answer that suddenly made Will's face, which had been expressionless, turn into a smile.

"Well, for the sake of our 'old friendships', I can tell you that I'm not interested in what happens to the Navy, as long as the Navy doesn't come after me next, with the same kind of 'tacit understanding' that you have with the other Four Emperors! And I will also stay sensible."

"So I will ignore you from now on, so don't bother me!"

Will grinned and showed his white teeth!

"What will you do next?"

"I don't think the New World land division is very fair, don't you think?"

Sengoku and Garp looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes!

They didn't think a new Emperor would take the initiative to provoke one of the Four Emperors just when he just took the position of the fourth emperor!

Actually, they still underestimated Will's ambitions.

...

And just so blatantly told them, is he completely disregarded the current Navy?

Back on the warship, having gotten the answer he wanted, Sengoku still couldn't calm his nerves!
