175 We Were All Fooled!

Chapter 175: We Were All Fooled!

Seeing Garp's insistence on this, Solo simply accepted it. He'll just be careful in the Summit War.

 

"However, even if I am suddenly promoted, I am only a Captain. In a place like Marineford, if a brick is thrown down, it will hit a large number of Captains." Solo comforted himself in his heart.

He informed Robin, Perona, and Katz of this matter to get them ready. Early tomorrow morning, they will set off with him and return to Marineford. Solo had thought about Robin's handling. To some extent, Robin's identity is special. If someone recognizes her identity in Marineford, the consequences may be disastrous.

 

But then again, is it really safe to keep Robin away from him? There is such a big situation in East Blue. The entire Loguetown was in a mess, half of the city was in ruins, and it was extremely miserable.

Those people from the CP Organization might investigate secretly, looking for the Float Float Fruit. In case they found Robin, the consequences are more troublesome. Anyway, the situation on both sides is not optimistic, it is better to bring her by his side.

 

"Robin is really pitiful. The sea is so vast yet there is nowhere for her to live. If she hadn't met the Straw Hats, she probably wouldn't have the courage to live on."

However, Solo only thought about these words in his heart and did not tell anyone. As for the security and construction work in Loguetown, it was handed over to one of Bogard's subordinates. 

Soon, the moon set and the sun will rise. At dawn of the next day, all warships were ready to set sail to return to Marineford. 

"We're going back again." 

Perona and Robin came to Solo's room, and the former couldn't help complaining. It was hard to leave the Marine Headquarters yet it didn't take long for them to go back again.

And this time, it's not just as simple as going back. In fact, it was during Solo's return to Loguetown that the breaking news spread all over the world. The Marine Headquarters not only captured Ace, the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates but there will also be a public execution in Marineford. 

Since Roger was executed in Loguetown, no pirate has ever enjoyed such treatment. For a time, there was an uproar all over the world. It is not a wise decision to return to Marineford at this time. 

"Whitebeard, wouldn't just leave Ace alone." 

Perona folded her arms around her chest. Just thinking about it, she was unwilling to return to the headquarters at this juncture. 

"This is an order from the headquarter," Solo shook his head, his tone somewhat helpless, "and Vice Admiral Garp is also here, otherwise, we can sail slowly on the Grand Line until the end of the war." 

All the warships leaving from Loguetown, according to Garp's order, went straight into the Calm Belt and sailed towards Marineford. Although there is no wind, it relies on the technology developed by Vegapunk and enables the marine warships to travel quickly in the Calm Belt.

 

Not only that, but Sea Kings living in the Calm Belt will also actively avoid the warships. But then again, Garp is present. Even if they really run into some Sea Kings, it's not a problem, he'll just one punch.

 

"Then Robin, is it okay?" Perona changed the subject, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried about Robin. After getting along for a period of time, she also regarded Robin as her companion.

Thinking of her true identity, Perona couldn't help feeling a little worried. Regardless of whether Whitebeard will really come to Marineford to save his people, the Marine Headquarters will deploy in the worst possible situation to her.

In other words, the current Marineford may have assembled many Vice Admirals or even Admirals. Is it really okay to let Robin go to the headquarters together at this time?

 

"The most dangerous place is often the safest place." Solo replied after thinking for a while.

Perona and Robin looked at each other and said in unison, "You mean, Whitebeard won't come to rescue Ace?" 

"No, I mean, no one would have thought that the bounty for the Devil Child to appear in the Marine Headquarters." Solo retorted.

 

"Moreover, the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely take action. At that time, everyone's focus will only be on the war between the Marines and an Emperor. As long as we are more stable, there shouldn't be any problems." 

Solo, who is a traverser, is very clear. Although the Summit War is said to be the largest war in history, the duration of the war is very short. Judging from the expressiveness in the manga, throughout the course of the war, it has been in daylight.

It only took less than a day to explain, and it was over. Although Sengoku successfully obtained the heads of Whitebeard and Ace, the outcome is really devastating.

The only winner in the war is Blackbeard. Not to mention the heavy losses of the marines, the plan to end the age of pirates failed. Instead, because of Whitebeard's words, more pirates flocked to the sea. A lot of criminals also escaped in the Impel Down.

 

This forced the World Government to find a way to conceal the matter. Plus Blackbeard became a new Emperor. The Marine Headquarters can be said to be the biggest loser. As for the other loser, it is naturally the Whitebeard Pirates.

They lost their captain and countless pirate ships. Ace, who was given high hopes to become the next captain, also died. Based on this, Solo felt that everyone's focus should not be on Robin.

 

"We will leave the headquarters as soon as the war is over."

 

Solo said his next move and reassured Robin. Since he invited her to join the marines, she will not be sent to the execution platform. After listening to Solo's narration, Robin's heart skipped a beat.

She thought returning to the Marine Headquarters this time was a serious out-of-control incident. However, what Robin didn't expect was that Solo didn't feel any anxiety or panic.

On the contrary, he still has the calmness of the past. Even the war, he is sure that it will happen. In other words, this also means that Solo, at least in private, carefully analyzed the situation.

Even after the end of the war, he has planned it. All of this is simply in Solo's calculations. 

"So that's how it is. This is Solo's layout."

For a moment, Robin seemed to understand it, but she didn't seem to understand it completely. Solo, what kind of ending is he planning?
