120 Everything is Within Solo's Calculation

Chapter 120: Everything is Within Solo's Calculation

Sengoku rolled his throat and swallowed nervously. He no longer cared about the content behind the Den Den Mushi. According to the original plot, from learning that Ace was arrested until the Summit War came to an end, Sengoku has always been afraid of Garp. 

He was afraid that he would do something out of the ordinary. Even though Ace has no blood relationship with him, that feeling is not fake. It can be seen from the scene when Garp boarded the execution platform and walked into Ace.

At that time, Sengoku could be said to have been taken aback by Garp's actions and warned Garp the first time that he should not appear there. 

What's more, Garp at this time has just learned that Ace has been arrested. He haven't fully accepted it yet. Just at this juncture, news came that Luffy was also arrested.

"Even that brat, Luffy, was caught?"

Garp's hand hung in the air immediately and suddenly felt that the potato chips in his hand were no longer fragrant. Thinking of Ace being executed these days, Garp was not feeling well. 

Now hearing the news that Luffy was arrested, his bad mood just got worse. Moreover, even if Luffy's bounty is not high now. It is also enough for him to be imprisoned in Impel Down.

When the time comes, even if he wants to come out, it's basically impossible. The only prisoner who escaped from Impel Down is Shiki the Golden Lion. Secondly, although Luffy doesn't have Roger's blood, his father is also not an ordinary person.

It's the most Dangerous Criminal in the World, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon!

On this point, Sengoku is clear in his eyes, Luffy's bloodline is equally evil. Once Luffy's identity is exposed, maybe he will be sent to the execution platform at that time.

"Garp."

On the side, Sengoku put down the Den Den Mushi and chanted Garp's name. The atmosphere in the office suddenly became quiet. Even the quietness is a little depressing.

The arrest of Luffy was not expected by Sengoku. In order to take into account Garp's emotions, Luffy should be released but that's not the case either. In any case, Sengoku had his own justice in his heart.

Moreover, his current status is still the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters. However, he expected Garp to suddenly burst into anger but he looked very calm. He saw him put the potato chips in his hand into a piece, slowly raised his eyes, and met the eyes of Sengoku, and his voice was deep and powerful.

"Who is the guy who captured Luffy?"

It is worth mentioning that before returning to Marineford, Garp visited Water 7, and there, he met Luffyi who went to Water 7 to repair their ship. At that time, he even asked his disciples to fight against Luffy. 

Although the current Luffy is not strong enough and failed to learn haki, in the first half of Grand Line, with Luffy's strength, it is indeed not bad. Even Smoker from Loguetown failed to capture Luffy.

For a moment, Garp couldn't help being curious about who caught Luffy. The guy named Blackbeard?

But as soon as this idea came up, Garp shook his head and denied it. It's impossible for Blackbeard to know about the relationship between Luffy and Ace, and Luffy's bounty is only 30 million.

In East Blue, it is indeed not low, but on the Grand Line, this bounty is not even up to par with a supernova.

"It's an Ensign named Solo." Sengoku paused for a moment and replied. This is also Solo's plan, he tried his best to go to the Florian Triangle and wait for the rabbits in order to exchange for the opportunity to return to East Blue. 

If Sengoku and Garp are not allowed to know about this, then his efforts would be in vain instead. It is also because of the consideration of this relationship that Solo specifically explained to the marine of Sabaody Archipelago that they must report it to Sengoku and Garp.

The reason why Solo would do this is to borrow the name of Dragon. When he was in Loguetown, Dragon "saved" Luffy away. As a marine, it is very reasonable to be sure that Luffy is related to Dragon.

And with the important information about Dragon, Luffy's identity will also become different. Otherwise, with his current bounty of 30 million berries, it is not enough to alarm Sengoku.

The final way to deal with this matter is probably to throw the Straw Hats to Impel Down until the end of the Summit War. Based on this, Solo took this step to let Sengoku and Garp know the news of Luffy's arrest.

"Solo?"

Garp frowned, feeling somewhat familiar with the name, but couldn't recall hearing it there.

"The Alabasta incident."

Sengoku reminded: "According to Smoker, it seems that the Revolutionary Army took action and rescued that country. However, in order to cover up this truth, the World Government gave the credit to the marine in Alabasta at that time."

"Smoker, Tashigi, and this man named Solo have all been promoted to one level."

Garp heard the words and recalled the incident. Seeing that Garp had an impression, Sengoku spoke again, "Actually, the reason why these marines would pass the news to me is also Solo's explanation. When he was in Loguetown, he had witnessed the appearance of Dragon. At that time, he was stunned by a powerful force but when he woke up, Luffy and his gang had disappeared."

Sengoku and Garp met each other's eyes. As for the so-called powerful force, they know, it is Conqueror's Haki. This matter was also written in the report and was sent to the headquarters.

At the same time, Sengoku and other Admirals affirmed Solo's sense of justice and courage. This was trumpeted in the report and led Solo to have the opportunity to be summoned by the Headquarters for training.

"Another marine rookie starting to make his mark?" Garp's eyes widened.

It is a foregone conclusion that Luffy was arrested, even if it is him, it is not easy to put pressure on Sengoku to order him to release Luffy. And based on his understanding of the Sengoku, the man in front of him would not do such a thing.

On the contrary, Garp is somewhat interested in the marine rookie named Solo. Luffy couldn't even be caught by Smoker.

What is the level of Luffy's strength? No one knows better than himself, who is his grandfather. Since it was Solo who caught Luffy, his strength must not be weak.

Thinking of this, Garp got up directly, ignoring Sengoku who was on the side, turned around, and walked away, leaving Sengoku's office.
