The cultivation base is returned ten thousand times, and the starting strength is at the Four Empero

Hearing Ningchuan’s words.

No one else showed any unusual behavior.

And Karp, who had just proposed to take Ningchuan as his apprentice.

After hearing Ning Chuan's words, he was stunned for a moment.

"Protect the people around you?"

Karp repeated Ningchuan's words.

Then he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Protect the people around you. If it were me, could I do it?"

At this moment, Garp couldn't help but think of his little grandson who had dreamed of sailing out to sea and becoming the Pirate King!

"Ace!"

Over the years, Garp has always wanted to train Ace and Luffy into qualified navy officers.

Especially Ace.

As the son of Pirate King Roger, he is born bearing Roger's sins.

If according to Karp's arrangement.

After entering the navy, he practiced hard and grew to the rank of admiral as soon as possible.

So even if his identity as the son of Pirate King Roger is exposed in the future, there is still a little room for maneuver.

But now he insists on becoming a pirate.

Once he was caught by the navy.

Even if Garp is the current admiral of the navy, he can't save him!

And his son, the current leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon!

If one day his son was captured by the World Government and sentenced to death.

So, as a father, can he protect his son?

After a long time.

There was no smile on Garp's face anymore.

Instead, there was a look of helplessness and deep fatigue on his face.

"Your dream seems a little too big!"

Hear what Cap said.

Ning Chuan smiled and responded confidently.

“I don’t think it’s big at all!”

Do not know why.

Garp always had the feeling that he was seen through by this kid in front of him who hadn't even grown all his hair yet.

After another long silence.

All the negative emotions on Karp's face disappeared.

He raised his head and looked at Ning Chuan with a serious face.

"Since you have refused to become my disciple, do you know what punishment you deserve for your crime?"

"Bogart, tell him the punishment!"

After hearing Garp's instructions.

Bogart stood up and blocked Ning Chuan's back.

He placed his right hand on the sword at his waist and spoke with a serious face.

"Killing a high-ranking naval officer will result in a life sentence!"

"Anyone who arrests you can be executed on the spot, no permission required!"

While talking.

Bogart had already drawn the sword from his waist and placed it on Ningchuan's neck.

Regarding this sudden scene.

Nami and Nojiko, who were sitting next to Ningchuan, were both terrified.

And Ningchuan at this time.

He still sat there with a calm expression, picked up a glass of beer and drank it all!

"Lieutenant General Garp, it was my fault for killing Colonel Mouse!"

"But if we can, how about we make a deal?"

Seeing Ning Chuan with a knife on his neck, he was not nervous at all, but still talked about the deal with him calmly.

Both Karp and his adjutant Bogart were surprised by the courage Ningchuan showed at this moment.

Even those big pirates whose bounties at sea are as high as tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

I'm afraid no one can remain calm at this critical moment.

And now a little kid has done it!

"Oh? Deal?"

"interesting!"

"Tell me, what kind of deal can offset your crime of killing a naval colonel!"

Ningchuan stared into Karp's eyes.

After a long time, he spoke slowly.

"I don't know the whereabouts of the son of Pirate King Roger. Can you exchange my life for mine?"

Ning Chuan had just uttered this sentence.

A terrifying murderous intent instantly filled the entire restaurant!

Maybe it was to prevent Ning Chuan from saying the following words.

At this moment, Bogart's knife was closer to the artery in Ningchuan's neck.

"Do you know the whereabouts of Roger's son?"

At this moment, Garp's words already contained a strong murderous intent.

As long as he dares to say something he shouldn't.

It was possible that Garp's fist would hit Ningchuan's head at the next moment.

"I think Vice Admiral Garp doesn't need to ask anyone else this question, right?"

Hear Ningchuan's answer.

Karp couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then his brows furrowed together!

Of course he could understand the meaning of Ning Chuan's words.

But what made Karp feel incredible was that

Ace's affairs were all handled by him!

Only he and his confidant Bogart knew the process in between.

There is no way anyone else could have guessed that Ace was Roger's son!

And Bogart, Cap knew him very well.

He firmly believed that Bogart would never betray him and tell others this shocking news.

Even if you take 10,000 steps back.

Even if he wanted to tell others, he couldn't just tell a child whose hair hasn't even grown fully yet!

Cap thought for a long time.

It took so long that Bogart's hands felt sore from holding the knife.

After a long time.

Garp finally spoke again.

"How did you know this? Who else knew this besides you?"

Although Karp appeared very calm at this time.

But Ning Chuan knew that he should be panicking in his heart as well.

However, the expression on Garp's face successfully concealed his inner panic.

"Of course it's a secret!"

"Generally speaking, unless it threatens one's life, who would tell others the secrets they know?"

"Mr. Karp, am I right?"

Hearing Ningchuan’s words.

Karp couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness on his face.

Kill Ningchuan before you are sure who else knows the secret besides Ningchuan.

This is indeed an extremely stupid thing to do.

Looking at the hesitant look on Garp's face.

Ning Chuan felt that the time was right, so he stared at Karp and spoke.

"Lieutenant General Garp, you can take my words as a joke."

"Next, let's officially discuss the content of this transaction!"

Looking at the serious expression on Ningchuan's face.

Karp understood that this was his way of finding a way out for what had just happened.

From this point of view, Ningchuan doesn't seem to be very interested in Ace's secret.

"This kid is really a smart guy!"

Garp cursed inwardly, then pricked up his ears once again.

I want to hear what Ning Chuan wants to deal with me.

"Colonel Mouse died because he wanted to steal my 30 million Baileys and a ship!"

"How about this, within the next year, I will help you capture enough pirates with a total value of over 3 billion!"

"How about using the bounty on these pirates to pay for Colonel Mouse's life?"

"The price difference is 100 times, your navy will make a profit!"

Hearing Ning Chuan's words, Karp couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on his face.

"In one year, are there any pirates whose bounties total over 3 billion?"

"You seem to be exaggerating a bit, aren't you?"

Looking at the look of disbelief on Garp's face.

Ning Chuan smiled and continued speaking.

"Whether I am bragging or not, we will know in a year."

"One year later, I will personally go to your naval headquarters, Marinford, to deliver these spoils!"

Looking at the confident look on Ningchuan's face.

Karp couldn't help but be moved.

That's a pirate whose total bounty is worth more than 30 billion berries!

Even if he does it himself.

If we don't take action against those guys with ridiculously high bounties in the second half of the Grand Line.

It is also difficult to collect the 30 billion Baileys bounty.

Ning Chuan's opening price was 30 billion, which shocked even him, a veteran who had been catching pirates for decades!

However, before he had the chance to ask Ning Chuan which guys on the sea he was going to attack.

Ningchuan’s next sentence.

But it caused the beer he had just poured into his mouth to spurt out.

"Of course, before completing this bet, I have one more thing I would like to ask Vice Admiral Garp for help."

"This matter is very simple for you, but it is a little difficult for me."

"That is, I would like to ask Vice Admiral Garp to teach me how to practice!"

Having said this, Ning Chuan paused.

He continued speaking with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

"As for combat, actually... I'm still a newbie!"
