Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

At that moment, Sengoku sat at his office desk and slammed his hand on the table.

A serious look appeared in his eyes, and he said with some disbelief:

"What did you say? Say it again, the Straw Hat crew just disappeared right before your eyes?"

"And then, not long after, they appeared on Sabaody Archipelago, a hundred miles away. How is that possible!"

Upon hearing this, Kizaru, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately jumped up and crossed his legs, then waved his hand and said with a comical expression:

"That's right. The Straw Hat crew disappeared after passing through a large gate. Vice Admiral Garp can also testify to this."

"As for whether they reached the Sabaody Archipelago after that, I don't know."

"Marshal of the Warring States Period!"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku turned directly to Garp, who was on the sofa devouring senbei, and said:

"Is that so, Garp?!"

Upon hearing this, Garp scratched his head and burst out laughing.

"Truly worthy of being my grandson..."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku stood up abruptly, snatched Garp's senbei, and poured it all into his mouth.

He then grabbed Garp by the collar and mumbled indistinctly:

"Answer my question directly, Garp!"

Seeing his senbei being stolen, Garp's eyes showed a hint of grievance, and he then shrugged and said:

"That should be something like the Door-Door Fruit, or some kind of spatial ability."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku finally released Garp and sat back down in his original seat.

A serious expression appeared on his face as he looked up at Akainu sitting next to Kizaru and said:

"You saw with your own eyes that the Straw Hat crew appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago and disappeared using the same method, right?"

Upon hearing this, Akainu immediately took off his hat, then placed both hands on the sofa and said:

"Isn't this getting more and more interesting? It seems we need to keep a close eye on the situation in Impel Down."

Upon hearing Akainu's words, Sengoku's eyes showed a hint of fear, as if he had realized something.

If they possessed this ability to travel through space.

Wouldn't that mean I could travel to Impel Down anytime, anywhere, and then secretly rescue Ace?

If they can really rescue Ace quietly, then the Marine Headquarters will have completely lost face.

With that thought in mind, Sengoku didn't stop and immediately dialed Magellan's Den Den Mushi, the underwater prison.

The Den Den Mushi took a long time to be connected.

Along with the Den Den Mushi, a gas mask appeared.

An indescribable sound emanated from the air, accompanied by Magellan's comfortable breathing.

This left the Warring States period somewhat speechless.

"Hey, Magellan, is that you?"

As soon as Zhan Guo said this, a sharp voice rang out from the other side.

"Oh, so you're Marshal Sengoku. I'm Hanbalni, the deputy warden of the underwater prison. Are you here to promote me to warden?"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku remained silent for a moment, then said in a serious tone:

"I don't care who you are, immediately notify Magellan and have him mobilize all the forces of the underwater prison to the sixth underground level."

"You must protect Fire Fist Ace! If Fire Fist Ace gets away, you will all be held responsible!"

Having said that, Sengoku hung up the Den Den Mushi abruptly, a serious expression appearing in his eyes.

At that moment, Akainu stood up abruptly, a solemn expression appearing in his eyes.

"Given the Straw Hat crew's current capabilities, it's unlikely that the Impel Down forces alone could stop them."

"Why don't you let me go? It's safer."

Upon hearing this, a look of impatience appeared on Sengoku's face.

He then braced himself on the desk with one hand and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Don't leave my sight until this war is over!"

"Don't think that what you did on Chambord Island is over and done with."

"Do you know how much pressure I faced with the Five Elders to protect you? Don't cause me any more trouble!"

"I'll send someone else over to the underwater prison. That guy is much more reliable than you."

Upon hearing this, Akainu immediately pictured that guy.

He then sat back down on the sofa, a disdainful expression on his face.

"That guy, just thinking about his face makes me feel disgusted. Forget it, let him do this thankless task."

Upon hearing this, Kizaru echoed in agreement:

"Speaking of which, that guy is quite annoying, but in terms of ability, he might be the strongest among us."

Chapter 503 Sengoku's Fury: Garp Decides to Retire!

Upon hearing this, Sengoku's expression immediately turned serious, and he looked directly at Kizaru and Garp, saying:

"Let's not talk about that for now. Let's get to the point: why did Aokiji manage to get away even with both of you in charge?"

Upon hearing this, Kizaru glanced directly in Garp's direction, then grinned and said with a comical expression:

"Oh, this isn't my responsibility."

"It was Vice Admiral Garp who said that we should go after the Straw Hat crew first, leaving me to deal with Aokiji alone."

"Otherwise, how could we have let him get away?"

Upon hearing this, Garp did not refute it, but instead burst into laughter.

But as he laughed, Garp's smile gradually froze, and he lowered his head.

"Speaking of which, apart from that guy, no one has been able to get out of that underwater prison until now."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo straightened his clothes, a solemn expression appearing in his eyes.

He then clenched his fist and said:

"Stop talking! Fire Fist Ace will never be the second Golden Lion, and the humiliation of Impel Down will never be repeated!"

With that, Sengoku stood up and immediately gave the order:

"We must make comprehensive preparations for this battle at the summit."

"If we can defeat the Whitebeard Pirates this time, the status of the Marine Headquarters will also rise accordingly."

"At that time, no pirate will dare to easily challenge the authority of the Marine Headquarters!"

As he spoke, Sengoku turned his gaze directly towards Akainu.

Seeing Sengoku's expression, Akainu went straight to reporting on his work.

"Whitebeard's side has already left the Sabaody Archipelago, but their ultimate goal should not be Fishman Island."

"Furthermore, I have already found out that Starscream, a pirate under the Whitebeard Pirates, had an irreconcilable feud with Roger."

"If we grasp this point, we might be able to turn Red Spider against us!"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku nodded directly, then looked at Kizaru and said:

"Your mission this time is the most important. Under no circumstances should you let them rescue Fire Fist Ace."

"If anything goes wrong, we'll settle all scores, old and new!"

Upon hearing this, Kizaru looked helpless, then lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

At this moment, Garp expressed his concerns.

"Whitebeard is old. He probably came to Marineford this time with the determination to die. A dying lion is the most terrifying."

Upon hearing this, a solemn expression appeared in the eyes of the Warring States, and then he exhaled a breath of turbid air.

The Whitebeard Pirates, as the strongest of the Four Emperors' crews, have always been at odds with the Marine Headquarters.

If Whitebeard were to die in this war, not to mention the loss of the lion's majesty, what kind of impact would it have on the balance of the seas?

Most importantly, there is currently no pirate crew or individual that can replace Whitebeard as one of the Four Emperors of the New World.

The consequences of such an event would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Zhan Guo slapped his forehead, sighed, and then said:

"Stop talking and get to work. Regardless of whether Whitebeard is prepared to die, Marine Headquarters cannot afford to lose!"

Upon hearing this, Akainu and Kizaru stood up abruptly, then retreated one after the other and walked out.

Meanwhile, Garp opened a bag of senbei and slowly began to eat it.

But his face didn't show the happy expression he usually had when eating rice crackers.

What was revealed instead was an endless sadness.

After a long while, Garp put down the senbei and said:

"Hey, Sengoku, after this war, I want to retire and go back to my hometown..."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo gritted his teeth.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Not only will the World Government not agree, but you won't get past me either."

As he spoke, Sengoku stood up, grabbed Garp's collar with both hands, and lifted him up.

"What are you thinking, Garp? For the son of the world's number one criminal, are you going to abandon the justice you bear on your shoulders?!"

Upon hearing this, Garp's expression turned somewhat sad.
