Chapter 74: The Country Destroyed by Germa
For the rest of the process, Garp kept a dark look on his face.
After all, he'd just been bragging to Ryuen about the Marines' sense of justice that morning, only to be humiliated before he even left Cocoyasi Village.
"Vice Admiral Garp, do you think a rat like Captain Nezumi would dare to act so recklessly in East Blue on his own? I think you should look into his superiors," Ryuen said calmly.
"I understand. Don't worry, I'll make sure Cocoyasi Village gets an answer. Bogart, let's go!" Garp replied, his face serious, as he led the 16th Branch away from Cocoyasi Village.
Even if Garp wasn't the sharpest, he could guess that Captain Nezumi's actions must have had someone's protection. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten away with bullying civilians in East Blue for so long, especially in a place Garp often patrolled.
"Wahahaha! Did those fools really think I wouldn't get angry?" On the battleship, Garp chuckled calmly while munching on rice crackers.
"Vice Admiral Garp, since we're targeting someone from the Marine Criminal Investigation Bureau, shouldn't we inform Fleet Admiral Sengoku first?" Bogart asked. Nezumi had already confessed; his backer was indeed in the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
"No need, no need. It's just a small matter; no need to trouble Sengoku over it," Garp said dismissively.
Bogart's mouth twitched. A small matter? This was the Marine's Criminal Investigation Bureau they were talking about—a place full of complex factions with backing from the World Government! But Bogart didn't say anything. This was just like Vice Admiral Garp.
"Ryuen, what kind of answer do you think Vice Admiral Garp will give us?" Nojiko asked as she watched the ship sail away.
"Answer? Yeah, right. Not gonna happen. Let's go home," Ryuen replied casually. "The Marines are rooted in the World Government. The world government is corrupt. Marine is no exception.. What answer could they give?"
