One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

"Could it be that the Navy has found Roger's trail?"

"I'll go and arrest him right now."

The older "brat" named Garp, facing Sora's orders, looked somewhat indifferent. He picked his nose while looking at Sora, who was the marshal, and then asked in a low voice.

"It wasn't Roger's fault..."

Upon hearing this, Kong's expression showed helplessness.

"Is that a white-bearded man? Or a golden lion?"

"We haven't heard from the Golden Lion for a long time since he lost to Roger..."

"As for Whitebeard, isn't Sengoku keeping an eye on things over there? I shouldn't need to get involved, right? Or does that old bastard Sengoku have other things to do right now?"

Garp looked at Sora, asking him questions while rolling the large clump of booger he had picked out of his nostril into a ball and flicking it onto the floor of Sora's private office, which was occupied by the Fleet Admiral, under Sora's disgusted gaze.

"It's not a problem with pirates."

"A very important person has arrived from above, and they need your protection!"

After carefully considering his words, Kong spoke earnestly to Garp.

"Heh, a big shot who needs my protection?"

Upon hearing this, Garp's eyes immediately flashed with disdain.

"They're Celestial Dragons, aren't they?"

In response, Garp asked Sora directly.

"Garp, this time it was the higher-ups who personally requested that you, the naval hero, go and provide escort! Garp, please don't put me in a difficult position..."

Kong spoke seriously to Garp.

"Besides that, there's one more thing..." Before Garp could finish speaking, Sora continued, "Garp, you've been in the position of Vice Admiral for too long. The higher-ups are saying that you should be promoted! What have you thought about the promotion?"

"Currently, there are two admirals in the Navy, Sengoku and Zephyr. But you know Zephyr's situation, right? Therefore, the Navy can only mobilize one admiral at the moment: Sengoku. The higher-ups believe that the Celestial Dragons cannot guarantee their safety with just one admiral, so they need you, the Navy hero, to be promoted immediately..."

Air Force explained the Navy's current difficulties and predicament to Garp.

Kong genuinely hoped that Garp could share some of the pressure. No one understood the Navy's current predicament better than him, the Fleet Admiral…

"Haha, let's forget about the promotion for now."

"I, Capod, am unworthy of this position, unfit for the rank of Admiral..."

"As for helping the Celestial Dragons protect them? I'm sorry, I'm not a Marine Admiral, just an ordinary Vice Admiral. I don't have that kind of strength. Let the other Vice Admirals take care of it!"

"After all, this vast navy doesn't need another vice admiral like me, does it?!"

"Aren't there plenty of people within the Navy who want to establish connections with the Celestial Dragons? Let them have this rare opportunity; I won't go..."

Upon hearing Kong's words, Garp immediately burst into laughter and prepared to leave Kong's office. The events of God Valley thirteen years ago had already caused Garp to regret for half his life. The title of Marine Hero sounded so grating to Garp. If he could, he would never want to have anything to do with the Celestial Dragons again in his life.

"Karp, come back!"

"You come back here..."

Kong stared at Garp, who had left without permission, his brows furrowed, and he roared angrily.

"Hahaha……"

Garp, facing the roar of the air, simply laughed loudly and strode away.

"Mr. Garp has refused a promotion once again!"

"It's said that this angered Marshal Kong, who was roaring incessantly in his office!"

"Haha, that's so cool! I want to be like that too..."

"Huh? Sakazuki, what are you talking about? Mr. Garp is a naval hero! How could there be anything wrong with learning from a hero's methods?!"

"Ugh, Sakazuki and Kuzan, you're arguing again? This is so troublesome."

As Garp publicly refuted Sora's request for promotion, Marineford was thrown into chaos once again. The vice admirals and rear admirals of Marine Headquarters were particularly excited as they engaged in a heated discussion about Garp's repeated refusal to be promoted.

Holy Land Marie Gioia.

"Your Highness Xia, I'm so sorry..."

"Lieutenant General Garp has other important matters to attend to, so he is temporarily unable to perform the escort duties for your trip..."

"But rest assured, our navy will arrange other suitable candidates for you immediately, and will not delay your journey in the slightest..."

A Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, perfectly proper and upright, sat before Xia, his head bowed, his expression a mixture of sincerity and apprehension.

This Vice Admiral from the Marine Headquarters is the liaison officer specifically chosen by the current Fleet Admiral, Kong, to communicate with the Celestial Dragons! In other words, he's the Celestial Dragons' personal scapegoat...

Although the vice admiral's mastery of the Six Powers and Haki was not quite up to par, his skills in bowing, kneeling, and mediating were truly unparalleled in the Navy.

No! He will come.

Char Aznable's expression remained somewhat indifferent in response to what the lieutenant general had said.

"Go and inform Lieutenant General Garp..."

"The World Government has already located Roger's location."

Xia looked at the lieutenant general in front of him and spoke without changing his expression.

"What? Roger? Roger, the Pirate King?"

"Has the World Government actually found the Pirate King Roger, who successfully circumnavigated the world and reached the final island a few months ago, in such a short time?"

Upon hearing this, the lieutenant general was immediately taken aback.

"Is there a problem?"

Xia looked at the lieutenant general in front of him and asked.

"No! No, there's no problem at all..." The lieutenant general shook his head repeatedly and looked at Char Aznable assuring him, "I will truthfully report what His Highness Char Aznable has told me to Lieutenant General Garp. I'm sure Lieutenant General Garp will make the right choice that will satisfy both the World Government and His Highness Char Aznable."

It must be said that the Vice Admiral's rhetoric was absolutely flawless.

This expression, filled with fear and reverence, certainly suited the tastes of the Celestial Dragons.

In response, Xia said that Kong would use people.

"Go down."

After finishing speaking, Xia Ya didn't give the lieutenant general a chance to say anything more and turned to leave the conference room.

"Young Master Char, when did our World Government find out Roger's location?!"

As Char walked out of the conference room, Stussy, Char's personal maid, immediately approached him and asked softly.

"I just found out..."

“Stusi, you should understand that I am a Celestial Dragon, a descendant of the great Figarand family, a descendant of the creator of the world, and an incarnation of God!”

"In this world, there's nothing I don't know if I want to know it! As a descendant of God, it's normal for me to be omniscient and omnipotent, right?!"

Char replied without changing his expression.

"Alright! This naturally evil Celestial Dragon brat is lying again."

Upon hearing this, Stussy's expression flashed with a look of sudden realization.

Stussy, of course, did not believe that Char truly knew Roger's whereabouts.

It's important to know that even CP0 doesn't know much about Roger's whereabouts.

Therefore, Stussy concluded that Char was just making things up again...

At the same time, Stussy felt a pang of sympathy and could only look forward to the next victim who had been deceived by Char's lies.

"Huh? The World Government actually found Roger's trail?"

Meanwhile, when Char's words reached Garp's ears, he frowned, a rare occurrence for him. Garp felt that Roger shouldn't be so easy to find.

However, Garp was unsure of the veracity of this intelligence, given the World Government's deeply hidden power.

The contract status has changed, please keep reading! Dear readers~

Chapter 8 Roger: I sent you to find the One Piece! Who told you to covet my wife?!

Roger was like a Capturer.

After Char deliberately revealed that the World Government knew Roger's whereabouts.

three days later.

The moment when Char, under the care of Stussy and accompanied by a group of CP0 members, boarded the World Government's most advanced warship, ready to set sail.

As Char predicted, Garp arrived at Char's ship to protect and support Char's journey...

Garp's prejudice against the Celestial Dragons runs deep. Even after joining Char's ship, he didn't try to meet with Char or talk to him like the other Marines did...

It seems that for Garp, conversing with a Celestial Dragon was a disgrace to his beliefs and identity. It was an insult to the very concept of justice that he was associated with.

Just like Garp, he doesn't need to specifically curry favor with any Celestial Dragons...

However, on the day they were about to set sail, Garp, due to his status, reluctantly approached Char and greeted him.

Monkey D. Garp, a vice admiral and the highest-ranking man on the World Government warship, known as the Navy Hero, swaggered up to Char. He then gave Char a rather disrespectful once-over, ignoring Char's expression, and muttered to himself, "He really does look like him! He looks exactly like that red-haired brat from Roger's ship. So that's it, the child from Roger's ship was indeed the Figarand family's child who went missing during the God Valley Incident..."
