The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

The three men drank together and started talking very smoothly. Although Garp was a prisoner on the surface, he had a good disciple outside the prison.

Kuzan would call from time to time to ask how he was doing, and if the request made by Mr. Garp was not excessive, Admiral Aokiji would use his own means to try to satisfy it.

For example, the senbei that Mr. Garp likes to eat the most are sent in large bags from outside the prison by his good disciples. Only the admiral knows the connections and difficulties involved.

There is a spy outside at the level of a navy admiral, who lets Garp, who has taken off the skin of a navy, know what major events have happened in the outside world. After the old man hangs up the Den Den Mushi, he will go to the third level prison to relay the news to his two juniors.

"The current maritime world is becoming increasingly incomprehensible. Sometimes people really have to admit that they are getting old."

Garp admitted that he was still strong despite his old age. Even if his strength had declined, he could still beat up a vice-captain. However, the rapid changes of the times made the old man feel increasingly unfamiliar with the world.

The emperors of the sea are expanding and accumulating their own strength in their own ways. Except for the Big Mom Pirates which cannot keep up with the mainstream echelon, the other three Four Emperors' groups, the Blackbeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and the Joker Pirates, have become unshakable behemoths.

The Blackbeard Pirates occupy the Beehive Island and most of the territory of the former Four Emperors Whitebeard Pirates. The never-sleeping Marshall D. Teach has been hunting Devil Fruit users on the sea in recent years and has even secretly formed a legion of Devil Fruit users.

The Beasts Pirates have built Wano Country into a military fortress. The ancient creature named Gyūshū is still wandering in that sea area, acting as a watchdog for Kaido.

The Joker Pirates do not have a fixed territory. With the addition of several former Seven Warlords of the Sea, their strength has expanded rapidly. Since the Iron Blood War, Buggy has been keeping a low profile in recent years and has intentionally faded out of the mainstream vision of the navy. No one knows what conspiracy he is brewing behind the scenes.

Judging from the content of the Den Den Mushi monitored by the navy in the past two months, the imperial groups have begun to communicate with each other frequently using Den Den Mushi. The density and frequency of communication have far exceeded any previous situation and has received great attention from the navy.

However, the Navy and the World Government have no idea what the Four Emperors are going to do specifically. After all, they are not the worms in the Four Emperors' stomachs. Some extremely secret matters will not be communicated using Den Den Mushi at all. In most cases, they will meet in person to discuss in detail.

"Are the Four Emperors planning a war with the navy? But what good will it do them?"

Shanks keenly grasped the key point, but there were some things he couldn't figure out. When one reaches the position of the Four Emperors, he will definitely prioritize his own interests. Rashly going to war with the current navy is the most unwise choice.

The new navy led by Altria Pendragon is unprecedented in terms of hard power, and Shanks is not sure whether there will be anyone to surpass it. It has twelve formally organized admirals, and each of them is the world's top combat force.

In a large-scale melee with these masters, if the Four Emperors did not join the battle, the navy might have been crushed one-sidedly. Red-Haired Shanks had the most say here, as he could still vividly remember how his pirate group was wiped out.

"Is Sabo okay now?"

Monkey D. Dragon cares very much about his revolutionary spark. Although he has differences in route with the second leader of the revolutionary army, and the left-wingers have become so hostile to each other that they are incompatible, he does not want anything to happen to Sabo.

Long grew up watching Sabo, and he knows this kid's temperament very well. As for why he would take such a radical path, Long racked his brains during those years in prison, but he still couldn't figure out why a man born into an aristocratic class could actually betray his own class 180 times and kill those masters without mercy.

"Alas, little brother Luffy is also a troublesome guy. The Revolutionary Army is attacking everywhere just like before, making life difficult for the nobles of the member countries."

Garp recalled what Sabo looked like when he was a child. He, Luffy and Ace endured his Iron Fist of Love together. Those times might be the days that the old man cherished the most, but unfortunately, in terms of education, he was a complete failure.

The old man looked at Red-Haired Shanks with malicious eyes. It was this guy in front of him who led his grandchildren astray. If he had not appeared in Windmill Town, those three kids might have been trained by Garp to become model soldiers of the navy one day (dream on).

Ace and Sabo both left the East China Sea for adventure for their own reasons. Luffy, the grandson, was the last to go out to sea, but he was unlucky on his first trip. If he didn't have the wooden barrel, he might have drowned in the sea. After being rescued by Coby, the two of them developed a connection, which indirectly led to Garp accepting this particularly hard-working disciple, and in the end the old man's lifelong reputation was ruined.

"You stare at me like that, but so many years have passed. I'm just a guide who happened to pass by. Even if there is no red hair, there will be yellow hair and green hair. Eventually, a pirate will pass by Windmill Town and become the guide for the three brothers."

Shanks wanted the old man to look at the problem dialectically. The kidnapping of his three grandsons had nothing to do with him. It could only be said that Garp's iron fist education was too unreliable. Success through fists and kicks was only an exception after all. It aroused the child's rebellious psychology in the process. Don't take it for granted that he doesn't want to be a navy but only a pirate.

Garp clenched his fists and wanted to punch the guy, but the empty sleeves of Red-Haired Shanks suppressed the old man's resentment. Even if he lost his identity as a navy, he could still uphold his character and not argue with a disabled person.

The topic among the three men turned to Luffy again. Ever since the Straw Hat Pirates experienced the Dressrosa incident, Luffy's bounty has skyrocketed, and he has become a captain with a bounty of 1.5 billion.

The bounties for other crew members also skyrocketed, and even the bounty for their ship's pet reindeer rose to 10,000 Baileys.

However, the Straw Hat Pirates were marked as an adventure group, and the Navy would not easily take action against them. Both sides were still in a friendly peace stage, and the bounty they were carrying was just a number and would not be activated actively.

The Straw Hat Pirates did not enter the planned track and did not go to Cake Island to fulfill the agreement with Kozuki Momonosuke. The matter of pet Chopper delayed the trip.
