"Sakazuki? What are you doing here?" Jonathan asked, surprised to see him.
Before Sakazuki could answer, Jessica ran into Jonathan’s arms. "I used the Den Den Mushi you left to contact General Sakazuki," she explained.
Jonathan smiled, gently stroking Jessica’s blonde hair. "It’s alright, I’m fine."
Then he looked back at Sakazuki, who was staring at the Straw Hats with a frown. "Why are they here?" Sakazuki demanded.
Jonathan was speechless. He had completely forgotten to ask how the Straw Hats had managed to bypass G-8’s heavy security.
At that mont, Luffy spotted Sakazuki. Luffy had t him before at Marine Headquarters and had a surprisingly good impression of him, so he ran right over. "Hey, serious-faced uncle! What are you doing here?"
Sakazuki’s eye twitched. No one had ever dared to give him a nickna like that, except for Garp. Sakazuki gritted his teeth and stepped forward, hitting Luffy on the head with his fist. "Brat! Why are you here?"
Luffy rubbed his head and pointed at the sky. "We ca from the sky, of course!"
Ikki walked over to join them. "General Sakazuki, it’s been a while."
"How long is a while?" Sakazuki asked, glancing at him.
Jonathan stepped in. "This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go to the Marine ss hall. My wife will make us a great al."
Sakazuki nodded. "That’s true. It’s been a long ti since Jessica cooked. Thank you, Jessica."
Jessica gave a gentle smile and led everyone toward the G-8 ss hall. As they walked, Sakazuki’s eyes lingered on Sabo and Nico Robin, who were standing behind the Straw Hats.
He wasn’t familiar with them personally, but he knew who they were: Sabo, an officer of the Revolutionary Army, and Nico Robin, the survivor from Ohara. In the past, Sakazuki would have attacked them without a second thought.
But this Sakazuki was different, and the change was all thanks to Ikki’s influence. Ikki’s repeated ti travel had made Garp stronger, giving him the world’s strongest physique and Haki.
Sakazuki, a man who pursued absolute justice through absolute strength, had trained with Garp. These encounters slowly but surely began to change him.
The Monkey family had a strange charisma; Garp had it, and so did Luffy. Luffy had already changed many people he t, so it wasn’t surprising that Garp could change Sakazuki.
Sakazuki still believed in absolute justice, but he was starting to question what that ant. Was justice simply following the World Governnt’s orders? The fact that he was even asking himself that question ant he had already changed.
At the G-8 ss hall, Luffy imdiately began to devour everything in sight, with the other Straw Hats also digging in. Ikki, Jonathan, and Sakazuki sat together at a table. At first, they just ate in silence.
Finally, Jonathan broke the quiet. "Sakazuki, what happened to you? It looks like you got in a fight." Sakazuki’s uniform was tattered, and half of his justice cape was damaged.
Sakazuki put down his chopsticks, took a deep breath, and said, "I ran into Red-Haired Shanks’ cousin."
Ikki froze at his words. When he thought of soone who could be Shanks’ cousin, only one person ca to mind: Gildarts, who looked ninety percent like Shanks.
Sakazuki then recounted the story.
He had rushed to G-8 on the fastest warship after Jessica’s call, worried about his good friend. On the way, he encountered a group of defeated pirates—or rather, a group of slave traders operating under the guise of pirates.
The one who defeated them was a man nad Gildarts, who was a spitting image of Shanks. Gildarts showed no rcy, turning the slave traders and their ships to dust. Sakazuki would have done the sa with his magma.
At first, Sakazuki thought it was Shanks himself. As a Marine Admiral, he had to show so respect to a Four Emperor, and with Jonathan’s fate still unknown, he decided not to engage.
However, Gildarts jumped onto Sakazuki’s ship. "Hey, you’re from the Marines, right? There are so slaves on that island. Can you go deal with them?"
Gildarts’ attitude was polite, but Sakazuki still felt like he was being ordered around. He replied gruffly, "If you aren’t Red-Haired, who are you?"
"Hehe, my na’s Gildarts. I’m Red-Haired’s cousin."
"Cousin?" Sakazuki’s eyes widened.
"Alright, I told you where the slaves are, so I’m heading out," Gildarts said, hopping onto a small boat.
Now that he knew the man wasn’t Shanks, Sakazuki couldn’t let him go. "Stop!" Sakazuki roared, turning his right arm into magma and throwing a punch at Gildarts.
Gildarts simply turned around and swatted away the lava. "Hey! I said I’m not Red-Haired, so why are you attacking ?" he asked with a serious expression.
Sakazuki paused, deep in thought. After a long mont, he gave his answer. "You’re strong. Join the Marines and beco my subordinate!"
This was Sakazuki’s mont of clarity. He knew he couldn’t kill every pirate, but what if they joined his side? Though Gildarts wasn’t a pirate, his connection to Shanks made his identity complicated. At that mont, Sakazuki felt like his intelligence had suddenly peaked. Why hadn’t he ever thought of this before?
If Ikki had known what Sakazuki was thinking, he’d probably conclude that Garp had beaten him into enlightennt.
After all, besides Luffy, everyone who was regularly beaten by Garp seed to beco very smart. The Revolutionary Army leader, Dragon, was beaten since childhood.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Garp’s good friend, was also a frequent recipient of Garp’s fists. Even Aokiji, who used to be Garp’s subordinate, got his fair share of beatings.
Ace, on the other hand, was just a little too stubborn to smarten up. Sabo, the number two of the Revolutionary Army, had a brilliant intellect.
Based on that logic, it really was possible that Sakazuki had been beaten into enlightennt.
