Marineford Harbor.
The sea breeze gently caressed the shore, and the waves lapped against the coast, producing a low, resonant sound.
Sails fluttered in the wind, and warships gradually disappeared over the horizon.
Sengoku and Garp stood at the edge of the harbor, watching as Borsalino and the others' warships gradually sailed away.
Sengoku's gaze was deep, his brow furrowed, his heart filled with worry and heavy thoughts.
"Just dealing with a single Shiki has left the headquarters like this… the situation will only worsen in the future…"
He sighed, his voice revealing a hint of helplessness and fatigue.
Recalling the battle with Shiki, Sengoku's heart was uneasy. Although they had won, the battle exposed many hidden dangers and shortcomings of the Navy.
"Hahaha, Shiki is locked up in Impel Down, Roger has been executed, there aren't that many great pirates on the sea."
Garp laughed heartily, munching on a donut, his face full of nonchalance.
His optimism and casualness seemed particularly striking at this moment, as if no difficulty could shake his confidence.
Sengoku's gaze remained fixed on the distance, a hint of worry and contemplation flickering in his eyes.
"Kaido, who just kidnapped Jin An, Charlotte Linlin, who is constantly seizing territories in the New World, and Edward Newgate, who is always taking in sons…"
He said in a deep voice, with undisguised concern in his tone.
Sengoku knew that these powerful pirates posed a huge threat to the Navy.
Garp waved his hand dismissively, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"Those guys don't seem to pose much of a threat to the Navy."
His voice revealed a kind of fearlessness and confidence, as if everything was under his control.
Garp took a large bite of his donut, continuing to enjoy his snack, as if these problems were just trivial matters to him.
Sengoku glanced at Garp, sighing inwardly.
He knew that Garp's strength and experience entitled him to remain so optimistic, but as a Navy Admiral, Sengoku could not ignore the immediate crises and challenges.
The responsibility and pressure he shouldered far exceeded that of ordinary people, and every decision was related to the future of the entire Navy.
"I hope your optimism is right."
Sengoku muttered to himself, his gaze once again cast towards the distant horizon.
The sea breeze continued to howl in his ears, but Sengoku's heart could not find peace.
He knew that the challenges ahead would be even more severe, but no matter what, he would do his best to protect the Navy's honor and justice.
Garp continued to enjoy his donut, with that familiar smile on his face.
For him, no matter how many storms lay ahead, he would meet them with his fists and face them with a smile.
Tsuru walked up behind the two, her voice steady and calm.
"Sengoku's concerns are well-founded."
A hint of contemplation and worry showed in her eyes as she watched the warships gradually disappear into the distance.
"Now that Roger has been executed, Newgate is the strongest in the world."
She continued, her voice carrying a hint of solemnity.
"His ability could destroy the world."
Tsuru's words were like a cold reality, sending a chill down one's spine.
She knew that Whitebeard's strength and influence should not be underestimated, and any thought of belittling him would be dangerous.
"Moreover, he already has dozens of pirate crews under his command."
A hint of worry flashed in Tsuru's eyes.
Garp laughed,
"That guy has no ambition. As long as you don't touch his reverse scale, he won't do anything thankless."
His tone was still relaxed, with a hint of nonchalance in his eyes.
"Whitebeard won't actively do those heinous things, but what about those under him?"
Tsuru's voice was low, as if stating an unavoidable fact.
Sengoku calmly glanced at Garp, his voice calm and firm,
"What if his reverse scale is touched?"
His words carried a hint of seriousness and warning, as if reminding Garp of the cruelty of reality.
Garp still waved his hand dismissively,
"Our Navy isn't that stupid. That kind of thing can't happen."
Tsuru disagreed, her brow furrowed.
"Don't forget the Celestial Dragons. Those idiots are first-class troublemakers."
Her voice revealed a hint of coldness and helplessness, as she had long been disgusted by the actions of the Celestial Dragons.
Garp became serious, a hint of anger and dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.
"I wish those stupid pigs would provoke Newgate more and more of them would die. The world would be cleaner."
The Navy is now very disgusted with the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
That's right, this time guarding Marineford, there was no movement from the World Government.
It really chills the Navy's heart.
Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru all knew that this kind of indifference and neglect had long placed the Navy in an extremely dangerous situation.
"In any case, we must be prepared to deal with everything that may happen in the future."
Sengoku took a deep breath, a hint of firmness in his eyes.
"There's something strange about Kaido's side. According to recent news, that guy seems to be constantly recruiting all kinds of talents."
Tsuru's voice was full of worry as she told him the information that the intelligence department had just reported to her.
Sengoku frowned and looked at Tsuru, a hint of contemplation and vigilance flashing in his eyes.
"Is he finally going to take action?"
He muttered to himself, pondering Kaido's intentions.
The Navy originally thought that Kaido was just going to stay quietly in Wano Country, but they didn't expect that he was also plotting in secret.
Sengoku suddenly slammed his palm on the railing, making a loud noise that startled everyone around him.
"These damn pirates."
His voice was full of anger, his brow furrowed, and a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
Tsuru continued,
"During this time, the World Government is in talks with NADS about cooperation. Caesar escaped from NADS during the talks."
"According to the spies sent to Wano Country, that guy may have joined the Beasts Pirates."
When Sengoku heard this, his face became even more gloomy, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Caesar joined the Beasts Pirates?"
His voice was low, as if chewing on every word.
That guy's research is too dangerous and is called the "highest authority on weapons of mass destruction."
If he joins the Beasts Pirates, then Kaido's intentions are obvious.
Garp stood aside, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became serious.
"Kaido is recruiting soldiers, so he obviously has big plans."
"During this time, the world situation has become increasingly complicated, and we must always be vigilant."
Tsuru reminded him.
Since Roger's death, these troublesome things have been coming one after another.
Sengoku nodded, "We must take action as soon as possible and not let the world become more chaotic."
Fortunately, the Navy listened to Jin An's advice before fighting Shiki and cleaned up the first half of the Grand Line.
Otherwise, the world would be even more chaotic.
