Chapter 634 There's Someone Above! (2 in 1)

When the news that Luffy had become a pirate reached the Marine Headquarters, Marshal Sengoku was stunned at first, his face full of disbelief, but after he confirmed the news again and again, Sengoku became very angry, and his chest was filled with rage.

After a phone call directly brought the brothers Ace and Sabo, who had just returned, to the office, Zhan Guo pointed at the brothers and scolded them:
"How do you two act like brothers?"

"Such a big living person got lost right under your noses?!"

"A colonel and a lieutenant colonel can't even take care of a child. How can I expect you two to become the pillars of our Navy Headquarters in the future?!"

"Asshole! Idiot!"

"Do you two know where Luffy is now?!"

Sengoku is not a stupid person. On the contrary, he is known as a wise general and his brain is very useful. How could a kid like Luffy escape from the care of Ace and Sabo? How could such a thing happen?

It is impossible to say that Luffy was kidnapped.

Now Luffy has appeared in the East China Sea. According to the information he received, Luffy became a pirate completely voluntarily and was not coerced by anyone at all.

Considering Luffy's previous words and deeds, it was simply that Luffy had slipped away on his own and didn't want to stay in the Marine Headquarters any longer. After all, this guy had been clamoring to become the Pirate King since he was a child, and this was no secret in the Marine Headquarters.

Judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that Ace and Sabo are accomplices who cover Luffy's escape!
Therefore, after calling the two people, Sengoku did not tell them the eyewitness information of Luffy immediately, but asked about Luffy's whereabouts. At the same time, while waiting for Liangren's answer, Sengoku stared at the two of them, observing the expressions of the two boys.

Sabo showed a look of shame on his face, as if he was very guilty about Luffy being "lost". When he heard Sengoku's question, Sabo did not directly answer the other party's question:

"I'm sorry, Marshal, this is all my fault. I was careless when I took him out shopping."

"I will definitely take responsibility for this!"

"I will definitely find a way to find Luffy, no matter where he is!"

Zhan Guo carefully observed Sabo's expression, and couldn't help but sneer at the sincerity on his face:
"drink!"

Sabo's acting skills were pretty good, and from a performance perspective alone, Sengoku didn't actually see any flaws, but the emotional state of the two brothers at this moment betrayed themselves.

Everyone knows that these three brothers grew up together since childhood. They are not biological brothers but are more like brothers than real brothers. It goes without saying how deep their emotional bond is.

But now that Luffy is lost, his life or death is unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown, Sabo and Ace are not only not anxious at all, they are able to return to the Marine Headquarters on time. This also makes Sengoku completely confirm that it was indeed these two guys who helped Luffy escape from the control of the Marine Headquarters.

If Luffy was really in danger, these two brothers would not need any orders from the Marine Headquarters and would have already turned the East China Sea upside down on their own initiative!

Realizing this, Zhan Guo didn't want to continue asking Ace what he thought. He knew that he wouldn't get anything out of him.

Since they were the ones who covered Luffy's escape, there is no need to expect Ace and Sabo to betray Luffy.

Thinking of this, Zhan Guo grabbed the information at hand and threw it directly at Ace, saying angrily:
"You don't know where Luffy is, do you?!"

"Then let me tell you!"

"This guy is still in the East China Sea! He even injured a colonel in the branch, Monka!"

"This kid calls himself a pirate, but due to your negligence and indulgence, he has become a pirate!!!"

Sengoku was furious. However, after hearing the news that Luffy became a pirate, Ace was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face. Although Ace quickly realized that something was wrong and immediately controlled his emotions, the true feelings at this moment were seen by Sengoku.

This made Zhan Guo even angrier, but soon, Zhan Guo himself realized that at this point in the situation, there was no point in getting angry. He only felt bitter and helpless in his heart.

He didn't know how he would explain to Garp if one day he also went underground.

Garp had only a few wishes in his life, hoping that his son would become an excellent navy, but his hope was shattered...

Then he hoped that his grandson would become an excellent navy officer, but now it seems that Garp's wish is likely to be dashed.

Luffy is an extremely self-centered kid, and Red-haired Shanks plays such an important role in his life that he almost fills the role of Luffy's father. His influence on Luffy is unmatched. Even Garp's last wish could not change Luffy's idea of ​​becoming the Pirate King.

"You have your own pirate group so soon?!"

Ace murmured something quietly, picked up the battle report and started reading it himself. Sabo came over and rested his chin on Ace's shoulder, looking at the battle report.

There is actually not much information about Luffy in the battle report. On the contrary, information about Colonel Monka, who was seriously injured by Luffy, occupies the vast majority of the battle report.

As a colonel of the naval branch, Monka turned the branch's subordinate naval officers and the people in the town into his servants. Relying on the power in his hands, he bullied the local people and became a local emperor.

People dared to be angry but not to speak out against him, and there was no way to resist him at all.

As a colonel, he holds the power to appoint personnel in the branch, so he can easily control his subordinates without any restrictions. As for the people in the town, how can they, as ordinary people, resist the colonel of the navy branch who has knives and guns? !

After Monka was severely injured, the headquarters also sent officials to the scene with the intention of calming Monka's emotions. However, what the headquarters did not expect was that after the officials arrived, they received countless anonymous reports about Monka.

The commodore who went out from the headquarters happened to be a subordinate of Sakaski. Although these hawkish navy officers were cruel and cold-blooded to pirates and did not care about the lives of ordinary people when performing missions, they supported the various regulations of the navy headquarters.

Conservatives like them naturally couldn't stand someone like Monka who didn't take the navy's rules to heart.

Related incidents broke out immediately and Monka was arrested directly.

This incident actually had a very bad impact on the Navy Headquarters. In a place like Shikai, a colonel is almost the highest local commander. But then again, people with the rank of branch colonel can only be regarded as "little people" in their Navy Headquarters.

Such a small figure actually became a local tyrant after going to the local level. This had a huge impact on the young officers in the headquarters.

Zhan Guo is not like those young officers in the headquarters who follow suit. Therefore, he has made up his mind to deal with the matter of Monka seriously. Only in this way can he deter people.

From a business perspective, what Monka committed is naturally more noteworthy.

But from a personal emotional point of view, Luffy's whereabouts are naturally what Ace and Sabo are most concerned about.

"Is it just Luffy?"

"It seems like he hasn't formed his own pirate group yet." After quickly reviewing the battle report, Ace turned his head slightly and said to Sabo beside him.

Sabo had already read all the information by now. When he heard Ace's words, he nodded in approval, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Luffy has not yet formed his own pirate group, but he is already traveling on the sea as a pirate. This is not necessarily a good thing.

Going to sea is not a game; sailing involves dangers.

The role of partners is that when facing difficulties, everyone can exchange ideas with each other, support and help each other, and rely on collective strength to overcome difficulties together.

But Luffy doesn't even have any helpers yet, but he hastily put on the pirate's coat, which may put him in danger.

"What?! You two look a little disappointed that Luffy doesn't have his own pirate group?!"

"Would you two like to go out to sea and help your brother?"

Sengoku was somewhat dissatisfied with the recent statements made by Ace and Sabo. After seeing Luffy's battle report, these two guys didn't even bother to act. This made Sengoku's anger, which he had suppressed with great difficulty, rise rapidly.

"No, how could we be disappointed? We are grateful."

"Luffy doesn't have his own pirate group yet, and the Monka he injured wasn't a good person either."

"Well, I think there's still a chance to save it!"

"Marshal, please send us to the East China Sea. We promise to bring that kid back to you!"

Ace was smart, how could he not hear the anger in Zhan Guo's tone? He quickly spoke to comfort him.

He and Sabo can be said to have grown up in the Marine Headquarters since childhood, and they have deep feelings for this place. What's more, what makes them different from Yoriichi Tsugakuni is that they have witnessed all kinds of things in the Marine Headquarters before their values ​​​​are fully established, and their ties with the Marine Headquarters are deeper.

If they both once admired Tsugaru Yoshiichi's strength and justice, and hoped that they could become navy officers like Tsugaru Yoshiichi in the future.

Now they have even greater goals. They hope to put the Naval Headquarters, a place they have deep feelings for, back on the "right track" in the truest sense.

To this end, they can take on the dark side of the navy, just like Sengoku and Crane today, and lead the headquarters of the navy to truly embark on the path of self-reliance.

Ace doesn't want to leave the Marine Headquarters before his dream comes true.

He is the son of Pirate King Roger and the direct descendant of a great criminal, but Ace has no good feelings towards his father who opened the era of great pirates. He hopes that he can do something to make up for the mistakes his father once made.

He did not feel inferior or cowardly because of his criminal blood. On the contrary, Ace felt that it was precisely because he was Roger's child that he had a greater responsibility to bring the world back on track!

Although Ace's belief is firm, he thinks differently about Luffy.
He has watched Luffy grow up since he was a child, and he knows very well that Luffy will not do anything extremely evil. Luffy's vision of the pirate group is very pure and romantic. In his eyes, all pirates must be like Shanks.

Ace hopes that his younger brother can happily choose the life he wants. If Luffy thinks it is cool and handsome to become a pirate like Shanks, then he will not object.

He asked for permission to capture Luffy in front of Sengoku just to protect his brother.

Luffy is very talented and his strength has improved rapidly over the years, but if the lieutenant admiral or major admiral of the headquarters takes action, Luffy may not be their opponent.

It would be different if Ace went there, after all, he is Luffy's elder brother.
But how could Ace and Sabo possibly deceive Sengoku with their tricks?
"Sending you? If you can't even take care of one person, what's the point of sending you!?"

"Don't make trouble for me!"

"And there is no way to undo this matter, Luffy."

"The internal military reports have already been sent out. As a marshal, how can I be corrupt and use my power for personal gain?!"

"I have decided to issue a wanted order for Luffy. The bounty is 200 million Baileys!"

Zhan Guo slammed the table and said angrily.

Ace and Sabo were stunned at first, but then they stopped being nervous and started discussing with a smile:
"Two million Baileys?! Luffy is on the wanted list so soon?!"

Sabo also smiled, but he seemed a little dissatisfied with Luffy's bounty, and asked Sengoku:

"Marshal, isn't two million baileys too low? He injured a branch colonel."

"Such a low bounty will cause colleagues in the branch to misjudge his strength. I think eight million berries would not be too much for his strength, right?"

The two brothers' words made Zhan Guo's face tremble:

"roll roll roll!"

"Get out of here, both of you bastards!"

Amid Sengoku's roar, Ace and Sabo ran out of the office holding the battle report. The two had no intention of returning the battle report to Sengoku. They just walked away happily, arm in arm, chatting about Luffy.

After the two left, Zhan Guo in the office sat down on his seat somewhat weakly, sighed heavily, leaned against the backrest, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

After a long time, Zhan Guo pulled the drawer of his desk and took out a photo album. He gently wiped off the dust that didn't exist in the first place, looked at the figure in the photo, shook his head and murmured:
"I wonder what kind of decision you would make if you were here, a bastard."

"But I think the most likely scenario is that I will do nothing."

"Everyone has their own chosen path. It's you, your son, and your grandson."

"No one in your family is worry-free."

As he spoke, Zhan Guo placed the photo album on his desk and stared at it for a long time before he adjusted his mind and returned to his work.

The photo album was taken when Sengoku was young. It was a photo of him and Garp when they were still non-commissioned officers. The two of them were arm in arm, with bright smiles on their faces, exuding the breath of youth.

The relationship between the two of them is similar to that between Ace and Sabo who just left.
