Chapter 35
Bogart’s face changed drastically.
Although he did have a little idea before, he was ready to send Luffy and the others away when the time was right.
After all, the famous pirate Buggy and several other pirates who were more famous in the East China Sea were also captured before, but they were all sent directly to the Grand Line by warships.
The purpose was to show outsiders how Garp and others returned to the Navy Headquarters.
After all, at that time, they had already activated all the intelligence and reconnaissance means in the East China Sea, but they did not find any trace of Xia Chen. In addition, the power in his hands was too dangerous.
So they could only find a way to trap Xia Chen.
Perhaps in the eyes of most people, such means used on Xia Chen were too incredible and too wasteful.
But don’t forget that the East China Sea, the weakest sea, is a template created by the Navy.
In order to remind the rulers of the East China Sea countries, they did not hesitate to increase Xia Chen’s bounty to 130 million Baileys.
The first time such a high bounty appeared was during the era of Pirate King Roger.
After he was executed, the entire East China Sea was swept by Garp and the navy. Pirates with more than 10 million were considered great pirates.
So they had to capture Xia Chen or kill him as quickly as possible.
To maintain the face of the navy. Of course, another reason was that Garp’s problem had to be solved.
Once his current changes were exposed, it would probably cause a worldwide shock.
But they didn’t know how Xia Chen did it at all?
It was clearly inferred based on a lot of information that Xia Chen’s devil fruit ability was the natural water fruit.
But he made Vice Admiral Garp look like that. It couldn’t be the ability after the water fruit awakened, right?
Besides, Xia Chen was relatively old, only 20 years old!
Geniuses like the three admirals have only touched the threshold of fruit awakening.
Of course, it is undeniable that the natural system is the most difficult to awaken compared to the other two systems, after all, their starting point is also very high.
However, there are traces to follow in the awakening of the natural system.
At most, he can control the waves in a larger range, or even turn the entire land into water for control, but this is really inconsistent with the ability he has displayed!
So now there are two speculations.
First, Xia Chen is actually a power fruit user of a certain animal-type fantasy beast. This is almost a recognized ability brought by the fantasy beast species among the high-level navy. It is an all-round improvement and the rarest part of all devil fruits.
Second, Xia Chen is a multi-fruit ability user.
Not many people know about this, and Karp and Marshal Sengoku are two of them.
But no matter which one, they must catch Xia Chen.
But now it is useless. The bait used to trap Xia Chen ran away, and Xia Chen seems to have run away too.
Once they are on the sea, unless they can face Aokiji head-on, they will definitely not be able to escape.
That’s right!
According to Mr. Garp’s words, Luffy’s next step is to go to the Grand Line, if Admiral Aokiji is blocking there.
“Bru bru bru!”
“Ah, Bogart, don’t rush me, I’ll be there soon.” A green mesh eye mask appeared on the head of the Den Den Mushi on Bogart’s palm, “Admiral Aokiji, where are you?”
“I probably still have…” The other side paused for a while, and then Aokiji’s voice sounded outside the naval base, “Ice Age!”
A lot of cold air emanated from him, covering the entire base, and the fog in the nearby blocks instantly changed from liquid to solid, turning into fine snowflakes, falling to the ground.
The elite marines lying everywhere outside the office building were also awakened by the cold one by one.
Bogart tidied up his military coat, which was in disarray due to the battle, and looked at Smoker, who had recovered and took out two cigars and smoked non-stop. He waved to him and went out to greet Admiral Aokiji.
Soon, a thin and tall figure of nearly three meters walked in from the gate of the naval base pushing a bicycle.
He glanced at the base covered with snow all around, “Ah, am I late?”
“They should not have left too far, Admiral Aokiji!” Bogart said. He thought he had discovered the problem in a long time, and then he released his observation Haki again to look for the Golden Merry. As a result, he used special techniques to expand more than 20 kilometers in a single direction, but still couldn’t find it.
“How is this possible?”
“What’s wrong?” Aokiji noticed that the other party’s face changed and asked.
“Admiral Aokiji, they may have left the coast. “Bogart said with a wry smile. Smoker, who had been standing aside as a background, suddenly thought of Tashigi and the others, and hurried out of the naval base and rushed to the dock.
In order to set up this trap, they did not move the position of the Golden Merry.
So the civilian dock and the military dock are not in the same direction.
Bogart wanted to follow, but was stopped by Aokiji, who said: “I can roughly guess some, now tell me the specific situation, and the ability of that villain Xia Chen is really amazing. There has not been a pirate with more than 100 million Baileys in the East China Sea for many years. ”
“Yes, Admiral Aokiji! ”
“This is what happened…” Bogart began to explain. Aokiji had only received a transfer order from the headquarters. He was on a mission in the New World at the time. After receiving the news, he directly crossed the Windless Era and rushed here.
Although the most mobile of the three admirals is undoubtedly the Flash Fruit user Kizaru, the problem is that his ability is not enough to restrain Xia Chen.
You have to know that he escaped from the hands of the navy hero Garp.
It is necessary to control him as soon as possible. Of course, the most important thing is to ensure that when the opponent recklessly uses large-scale destructive moves, it can be effectively blocked. Otherwise, if the opponent runs directly to an island and threatens the lives there.
They are passive.
It is okay if there are fewer people or non-member countries, but the key is that there are really many member countries in the East China Sea.
After all, the environment is stable, and the speed of economic development will naturally increase. With more money, in order to protect the safety of property, most of them are very happy to become member countries of the World Government.
“It turns out that it is not a natural system, but a kind of mythical beast fruit that can control water flow. “Aokiji said, “But Monkey D. Luffy is this name, right?”
“What do you mean?”
“That little kid named Luffy is Mr. Garp’s grandson, right?”
Bogart was not surprised that Aokiji could guess this. In order to maintain Vice Admiral Garp’s face, he said, “Mr. Garp has made a decision to send him to Impelton on the way back.”
“So strict, really worthy of Mr. Garp.” Aokiji scratched his head when he heard this. He respected Garp very much.
At the same time, he also felt that this matter was not without room for maneuver.
After all, according to the current situation, the only one who really did evil in the entire pirate group was Xia Chen.
Especially because he killed a navy colonel.
Although he was only a sub-base, and a fool who was hypnotized and teased, the dignity of the navy was above everything else!
Of course, this was just the most superficial of the many reasons listed before.
