Chapter 730 In the Depths of Events. (2)
_________________
Once again in the 'battlefield' in the manga, Marineford, readers, mostly from the Marines and their families, were nervously salivating as they read the chapters.They moved from chapter to chapter without realizing it, as the events became increasingly strange with each chapter, and the war became stranger as scenes often focused on Luffy, currently.
…
In the Fleet Admiral's office, where only the elites gathered in this room, the expression on Sengoku's face was calm as he watched the characters' reactions about the backdrop of Luffy's revelations.
"Hmm, it seems that Garp truly doesn't care about his grandson's background being revealed publicly," he said with surprise.
"In that case, I think that besides Ace, even if we were to kill Luffy as well, he wouldn't be able to do anything except watch silently," sighed Kuzan inwardly about his teacher's situation in the manga, who seemed afraid to use his power to enforce what he wanted.
The overwhelming power he had spent his life honing by punching ships and mountains was not enough for him when it came to determining his grandchildren's fates... So what was the point of that power in this case?
For Kuzan, Garp appeared as an old lion who had removed his own fangs and surrendered to his master, who was now disciplining his cubs without any reaction.
"Through these significant reactions of the characters in the manga, it seems that Dragon and his Revolutionary Army have deeper implications than I previously thought."
Sengoku pondered for a moment before continuing, "From now on, we must delve deeper and deeper into the events until we reach the essence; it seems that we've been scratching the surface all along."
Upon hearing that, the admirals and vice admirals nodded in understanding of the Fleet Admiral's words.
Seeing the characters' reactions to the name Dragon made them all understand that Dragon might indeed be the most dangerous man in the world, as previously described.
The most dangerous criminal in the world... What weight does that title carry?
"Hmm..."
Sengoku ignored his counterpart's revelation about Luffy's real father's name and focused on a specific scene in the next chapter.
...
"Even after hearing the name Dragon, my counterpart remains silent and without any notable reaction... Strange."
In Sorbet's art store, Bartholomew Kuma still focused intently on his silent counterpart throughout the Summit War events up to this moment.
He was completely immersed in the events.
Little Bonney looked worriedly at her father and didn't know what to say to reassure him.
Dragon noticed this and spoke, "Vegapunk must have done something to Kuma in the manga. He's the only one who can explain what's happening to you."
"After all, the small explanation your counterpart gave in Thriller Bark about becoming a Cyborg is not enough..."
Kuma nodded in agreement, "You're right, Dragon-san."
...
"I don't think you really mean what you're saying, man..."
Garp couldn't handle any more rice crackers at this moment, seeing his counterpart's helpless expression once again.
'I care not… There is no longer any need to hide it. Luffy has already gained such power and infamy that such labels may as well mean nothing.'
That's what Garp said in the manga after Sengoku revealed Luffy's father's name...
"This scoundrel Sengoku... Isn't he my friend? Why has his heart suddenly become so cruel!?"
Garp crushed the cookie in his hand into crumbs, feeling betrayed at this moment.
Betrayed by one of his closest friends.
"Anyway, your counterpart, my father, is absolutely right in what he said. Luffy no longer needs protection... Even if the truth of me being his father is revealed, it won't affect him at all."
"Because his counterpart's identity is truly something, it will benefit him much more than harm."
Dragon said expressionlessly.
...
Back in Ohara, Rob could hear Doflamingo's wicked laughter at this moment.
"He must be enjoying himself very much," Rob shook his head and ignored Doffy, refocusing on his little girls who were bombarding him with questions here and there.
...
"Fuffuffuffu! It seems my counterpart knows a thing or two about the Revolutionary Army as well."
Doffy laughed after hearing what his counterpart said, feeling enlightened after hearing Luffy's background truth.
"That's right, it seems your counterpart is familiar with Ivankov being part of the Revolutionary Army."
"Your counterpart must have had some dealings with the Revolutionary Army."
"Heh~ Anyway, it's good to see my future self having a good time. Fuffuffuffu!!"
...
Fish-Man Island:
The image of his counterpart in the manga who mentioned Luffy's father's name reflected in Jimbei's eyes.
"Luffy's father must be a great figure," he said.
"All the hints point to that," Fisher Tiger nodded in agreement.
"I bet he's causing a lot of trouble for the World Government," Tiger added.
"Do you think he might appear in this war to support his son? We really miss his appearance..." Jimbei wondered.
"Nyuu~ That's right, his appearance is more anticipated than Shanks' appearance!"
...
East Blue, Loguetown:
Young Smoker's eyes sparkled as he looked at the manga pages.
"Finally, my foolish counterpart can unravel the mystery in this matter..."
He nodded eagerly and continued reading, quickly flipping to the next chapter.
Which seemed promising from its title.
...
Sabaody Archipelago, inside the art store, readers were in constant chatter and excitement.
"Hahaha! It seems our Sabaody Archipelago has the honor of broadcasting the war live!!"
"And is there anything to be proud of? The reason the Marines moved the war to the archipelago must be because of the Celestial Dragons who want to watch the war."
"I forgot it's closer to the Marine headquarters."
"Hahaha! The art store's ability to broadcast live scenes is much better! The whole world can watch that."
"Are you comparing the art store to Den Den Mushi for audiovisual transmission? Are you stupid? There's no comparison between that and this."
"These journalists watching are causing a commotion repeatedly~ When will Rayleigh appear? He must be watching the broadcast too."
The readers in Sabaody Archipelago were looking forward to seeing Rayleigh and knowing his stance on joining the war to save Ace or not.
...
"Tsk~ This guy is a disgrace to the giants' warriors. Geyagyagyagya!!!"
"What do you expect from a vice admiral joining the Marines instead of waiting for the time when the Sun God appears, as a true warrior. Gababababa!"
In Elbaf, the giant Dorry and Brogy mocked the giant vice admiral who intervened to stop Luffy but ended up being hit by Luffy's Gear Third.
"Who is this Sun God you talk about so much?"
The young giants like Hajrudin were surprised after hearing this unfamiliar name.
"Heh~ Maybe the Sun God is no longer needed with Lord Rob nearby, but we giants have made a promise to wait for him. As warriors, we won't betray our ancestors' will."
Brogy explained mysteriously.
Jarul, the village chief, observed this with a mysterious smile on his face, then his eyes returned to the manga book.
"Hmph!"
The look of disdain replaced the smile upon seeing the Marine giants's unit again.
