Not to ntion whether the navigator on Garp's ship was a complete idiot when it ca to directions, if such a massive continent truly existed in the West Blue, there was absolutely no way Marine Headquarters and the World Governnt would not have discovered it.
But what thod was used?
He had originally thought he had already overestimated that king of the West Blue, yet he never expected things that shocked him would keep happening.
"Hahaha, who cares!"
Unlike Sengoku, whose expression kept shifting between light and dark, Garp, aside from being a little shocked at the beginning, soon stopped caring. While digging in his nose, he cheerfully said, "Let's just go in and take a look."
After saying that, without paying attention to Sengoku, who still wanted to say sothing, he directly jumped off the ship, landed on the island, and happily greeted the people at the port.
"That guy…"
Sengoku watched with a helpless expression. After sighing, he hesitated for a mont but still chose to go down as well.
Regardless of whether this was the base of the Umbrella Corporation, the sudden appearance of such a continent in the West Blue had to be thoroughly investigated by Marine Headquarters.
They also needed to figure out how this massive island, no, perhaps it should be called a continent, had ford.
Especially if this truly was Umbrella Corporation's base, Marine Headquarters and the World Governnt would have to raise their level of attention again.
After all, that small island had already killed one of the Five Elders. If this entire continent could provide energy to the king of the West Blue, to be honest, he was worried that if the Five Elders ca again, none of them might escape.
As he thought about it, the corner of Sengoku's mouth could not help but slightly rise.
At that mont, Garp's voice sounded again.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing. When was I laughing?"
Sengoku quickly ca back to his senses, hurriedly suppressing the lifted corner of his mouth, and even gave two fake coughs while speaking in a serious tone. "I was just thinking about sothing very important."
As he said this, he looked at Garp again, slightly frowning. "Did you ask anything just now?"
"I did."
Upon hearing Sengoku's words, Garp's expression also grew serious. He nodded and said, "Your guess earlier was correct. This indeed isn't the Island of Ohara!"
Sengoku: "...?!"
Sengoku was stunned. Then his heart slowly relaxed, yet he also let out a regretful sigh. "It isn't? I guessed—"
However, before Sengoku could finish speaking, the serious expression on Garp's face instantly changed again, turning cheerful once more. "It's already been renad. Now it's called the continent of Ohara."
"I'll @￥#…"
Sengoku cursed extrely viciously, but only once. After all, he knew that no matter how much he cursed this old rascal before him, it would be completely useless.
Then he sighed again while looking at the continent before him with a complicated expression.
"Perhaps I shouldn't have co with you. This is really a headache."
"Then go back! I'll have Bogard send you back?"
"… Cough cough. Since we're already here, I'll stay!"
"Heh."
Garp looked at Sengoku with a face full of disdain. But after a mont, he returned to that cheerful expression again and ignored Sengoku beside him, striding forward. "Speaking of which, after that kid, Ian, moved the base here, I haven't co even once yet. Let's go in and see what's special here!"
…
anwhile, when Garp and Sengoku stepped onto the continent, Ian's side had already received the news. Imdiately, he frowned and fell into contemplation.
"Do we need to expel them?"
Beside him, Nico Robin saw Ian frowning. After hesitating for a mont, her tone beca serious. "Mr. Garp should be fine, but that forr Fleet Admiral… who knows what he ca here for?"
"No need."
However, in response to Robin's question, Ian shook his head after coming back to his senses. His gaze fell on Robin's slightly raised belly, and he said with a smile, "Don't worry too much. That forr Fleet Admiral has already stepped down. Maybe he's just out strolling around."
Seeing that Robin, who looked worried, still wanted to say sothing, Ian continued with a smile, "Relax. I'll handle it. You just rest well."
At this mont, the person beside them, Ain, also asked, "Should we inform Zephyr-sensei?"
"Of course. His old friends have co. How could Zephyr not go to receive them?"
Ian nodded. Then he directly stood up and said to the person beside him, Aria, "I'll go deal with it. Aria, take care of your mom."
"Got it, Dad!"
After receiving his daughter's response, Ian did not hesitate any further. He stepped forward and walked outside.
Only Robin and Ain were left behind, both with helpless expressions.
The two looked at each other. Then Robin lowered her head and looked at her daughter lying quietly on her lap. She understood that her daughter was telling her not to worry. A sense of reassurance rose in her heart, and she did not say anything more. Smiling, she gently stroked Aria's small head.
Enjoying this warmth that she once longed for, and that had now truly co true.
…
As for Ian, after leaving the house, he was not particularly worried.
Or rather, from the beginning, he had never intended to conceal it.
Although after that battle, the World Governnt no longer dared to send people to monitor Ohara, such a massive piece of land could not be hidden for long, even if they tried. It would be discovered sooner or later.
In any case, the Five Elders probably did not dare to co again now, so whether it was hidden or not, it did not really matter.
What he had not expected, however, was that Sengoku would leave Marine Headquarters at this ti.
After all, Marine Headquarters was currently conducting the World Military Draft, and the draft was a crucial step for stabilizing the global balance of power and for the Marines' subsequent strategic deploynt.
Yet instead of staying at Marine Headquarters to oversee it, Sengoku had followed that old fellow, Garp, wandering. No one knew what he actually intended to do.
But regardless of what he intended to do, Ian had a trump card here against the forr Fleet Admiral.
While walking and thinking, Ian suddenly stopped.
Then he shouted toward the empty air in front of him: "Enel, bring Law over here!"
