Chapter 88: The Arrival of the Voidreign Pirates
After a big, messy battle that left the island broken and smoky, something new arrived at the shores of Hachicoso Island. The sun was just starting to rise, and the sky looked red like it was painted with blood.
A big pirate ship was coming across the water. It was bigger and scarier than most ships. Its black sails had a flag with a panda wearing a cowboy hat — the sign of the Voidreign Pirates, one of the most famous and mysterious pirate crews of this new era.
Everyone knew... when that flag showed up, something big was about to happen.
From the big ship deck, Jessie, the captain of the Voidreign Pirates, stood quietly. He looked at the smoking island far away, where a big, important fight had just ended.
A legendary hero had been defeated there.
Jessie gave a small, sad smile and whispered to himself,"I can't believe it... Is this really the end of Garp?"
He felt surprised and a little sad, because he never thought he would see a day like this.
A gust of wind swept through, tugging at Jessie's long coat. But his gaze didn't waver.
"He's not dead yet," he added softly. "Frozen... but I can feel it. That old man's spirit hasn't left. And you, Kuzan, seems like justice still clings to your heart, no matter how far you've drifted."
