Garp, who was about to jump onto the table with joy, nodded and said with a smile while eating snacks, "Sengoku almost held a banquet."
"What banquet? I'm holding a morial service for the Five Elders!"
Sengoku slamd his fist on the table, glaring at Garp. "What are you talking about? Don't forget your identity as a marine!"
"Okay, I take it back, I take back what I just said!"
Sengoku: "..."
Watching the conversation between the two, Tsuru's forehead was covered in black lines, but she still took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "Alright, let's stop joking! Although not all the Five Elders are dead, the situation is still quite serious."
She handed them the newspaper she had just received that morning, saying, "Take a look for yourselves! I reckon the World Governnt will be calling you soon."
Sengoku: "...?!"
This tone and these words made Sengoku slightly restrain his jokes.
He hasn't slept a wink since last night; with so much happening, how could he possibly sleep?
The World Governnt hasn't called yet; otherwise, he would probably get another scolding.
So, what he was just saying was a joke, trying to find so humor in the midst of hardship.
As for the Five Elders being dead?
Don't be ridiculous. Others might not know, but he knows so secrets.
"Judging from your expression, sothing very serious has happened, even more serious than this humiliating public execution?"
Sengoku raised an eyebrow, glanced at the Tsuru, and then took the newspaper, unfolding it with curiosity.
Garp, standing nearby, also joined in, equally curious.
"What could possibly compare to yesterday's public execution? To be honest, I'm still racking my brains trying to figure out how to report it!"
However, as soon as Sengoku finished speaking, the two n's pupils contracted, and they stared at the headline of the newspaper with disbelief and shock.
"My goodness!"
Garp was completely stunned. "The Five Elders are really dead! Will Sengoku's banquet still go on?"
"Shut up, what banquet? I already said it's a morial service! No, why am I telling you this now?"
Sengoku, annoyed by Garp's words, retorted, then ca to his senses and looked at the newspaper in his hand with equal shock. "The Five Elders are dead... I an, St. Jaygarcia Saturn is dead?"
"Only one died."
Garp snapped out of his daze, pursing his lips. "That kid, Ian, really, isn't he going to give it his all?"
"Shut up! Do you know how serious this is?"
Hearing Garp's words, Sengoku really had no intention of joking with Garp this ti.
He looked at Tsuru with a serious expression and said, "Is the truth confird? That stinky bird is prone to exaggerating or making up stories. Don't be fooled."
"To be honest, I also have so doubts about its authenticity. After all, this matter is indeed too shocking."
She sighed, and her face showed helplessness in the face of Sengoku's question. "So, after I got the newspaper, I ca here specifically to ask you."
With a aningful tone, she said, "I believe you are more likely than I to ascertain the truth of this matter!"
Sengoku: "..."
These words made Sengoku open his mouth as if he wanted to say sothing, but in the end, he said nothing, closed his mouth again, and put his hands on the desk with his hands crossed.
At this mont, his face darkened again, and his eyes beca deep, as if he were deep in thought.
Tsuru did not disturb Sengoku and patiently waited for his reply as well.
After a short while, Sengoku ca to his senses, looked at Tsuru, shook his head, and said in a serious tone, "I still haven't received a call from the World Governnt."
Tsuru: "...?!"
Haven't they called yet?
This incident is already over. Normally, the World Governnt would have already called to reprimand them.
Is the World Governnt still waiting for a report from the Marine Headquarters?
Tsuru frowned, exchanged a glance with Sengoku, and a guess popped into their minds: Could it be that the World Governnt doesn't have ti?!
As for why there isn't ti?
That ans what the newspapers said is real. Therefore, the Five Elders are currently dealing with this matter internally and have no ti to care about the outco of the public execution.
If that's true...
Sengoku's eyes flickered with uncertainty as he recalled the scene from yesterday when the Umbrella Corporation boss arrived. He muttered to himself, "So he didn't escape from the Five Elders after all?"
He never imagined this guy's strength had reached this level. Even the King of the Pirates and Rocks back then... Couldn't have achieved this!
The public execution beca a joke, and the myth of the Five Elders' immortality was shattered. He already had a premonition: The era is about to go mad!
At this ti, Sengoku's heart was filled with lancholy and complex emotions.
"Purururu!"
The Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly rang.
Sengoku and Tsuru: "...?!"
Aside from Garp, who was still regretfully eating his snacks, Sengoku and Tsuru quickly snapped out of their daze and exchanged a glance.
Has the Den Den Mushi rung?
Sengoku then took a deep breath, answered the Den Den Mushi, and said in a serious tone, "Hello?"
However, as soon as he said this, the other party seed very dissatisfied that it took him so long to answer the Den Den Mushi.
"Why did it take you so long to answer? What are you up to?"
He roared angrily at Sengoku.
"You even ssed up the public execution? Do you know how much trouble you've caused the World Governnt?"
"That's Rocks' blood! How can a Fleet Admiral not even handle sothing like this?"
"A re few pirates have made such a ss of things, Sengoku. Do you think you've lived up to the World Governnt's trust? You are responsible for this!"
Sengoku: "...?!"
The continuous roars completely stunned the previously somber Sengoku.
He ssed it up?
Should he be held responsible for this?
What is this guy saying?
Seeing that Sengoku didn't answer him, the voice of the four elders, filled with dissatisfaction and accusation, rang out again, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
Upon hearing this, the stunned Sengoku could no longer contain himself. His face flushed red, and he roared at the Den Den Mushi, "Explain? Explain my ass! Did I cause this? If you hadn't disregarded the Marine Headquarters' plans and acted on your own, this situation wouldn't have happened!!"
