In the study.

Garp rubbed his wrists that were bound a little painfully and stared vigilantly at the young man in front of him who he really couldn't see through.

Li Yaoxiang poured himself a drink with a calm expression, and asked, "Whiskey? Or champagne?"

"Admiral Li Yaoxiang, what is your purpose of arresting me here?"

Li Yaoxiang handed a glass of wine to Garp: "Vice Admiral Garp, relax, don't be so nervous. It's not that I want to catch you, but the Five Elders sent me to catch you."

"Then what's going on now? You killed the group of people outside, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to explain to them?"

"You don't need to worry about that on this level, Vice Admiral Garp. I have already arranged the story for you. CP9 in the process of arresting the revolutionary leader Monkey D. Garp, died heroically, together with Monkey D. Garp die together. What? Is this script not okay? It can be considered a good name for them after they die."

Garp looked angry: "What do you mean!"

Garp knew very well what cunning guys the Five Elders are.

Isn't arresting him just to use him to threaten his son Monkey D. Dragon?

So, the Five Elders will never kill him.

But the marine star in front of him is not cooperating with them!

He didn't even care about him, even the Five Elders. Garp couldn't see what the young man was thinking.

For yourself, or for what?

"It doesn't make any sense? Vice Admiral Garp, please rest assured. I won't really kill you. Of course, to the outside world, I will still declare that you are dead. And my request is very simple, while you are dead. Please stay in my battleship, don't go out and show your face. As long as Vice Admiral Garp can cooperate with me well, I can cover all your needs during this period of time! I will satisfy you!"

"Stop talking nonsense! I just want to know, what the hell are you doing this for!"

"I naturally have my reasons for doing this, you don't need to worry about it at this point..."

"Oh, if you declare to the public that I am dead, then the medical team of the World Government will definitely not cooperate with you. At that time, without the medicine, will you be so confident that you can keep me?"

"Hah, Vice Admiral Garp... I originally did not want to be so rude to you because you are Luffy's grandpa... But you seem to me now that you are not willing to cooperate with me... "

"Luffy?! What about Luffy?! Who are you?!"

Li Yaoxiang waved his hand, and an air door appeared beside him.

Needless to say.

This air door alone.

Everything is clear enough.

Sure enough, when Garp saw this air door, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the blue veins were exposed on his temples: "It's you! It's you who kidnapped Luffy back then!"

In an instant, various thoughts flashed in Garp's mind.

What Li Yaoxiang did in the past made him wonder.

The more he thinks about it, the more terrifying it feels!

Imagine, if there is a person who has been beside your relatives all the time, don't know what is going on, and it has been happening for more than ten years. And on this day more than ten years later, this person appears in front of you unscrupulously. How terrifying is this?

What is the meaning behind this?

Moreover, thinking about the rumors of Li Yaoxiang, a rising star in the marine, and the powerful subordinates he had seen before, Garp was even more terrified!

What a big game of chess.

This game of chess was so big that he couldn't see what the opponent's goal was.

"No no no, don't say kidnapping. Luffy left with me voluntarily."

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Hah, forget it. Judging from your attitude, you probably won't cooperate well with me. There is no other way. Before my plan is over, I have to apologise to you, Vice Admiral Garp."

After that, Li Yaoxiang's right hand stretched directly towards Garp's chest.

Garp thought that Li Yaoxiang was trying to beat him and force him to submit, but he didn't even think about guarding.

But then, a scene that surprised Garp happened. He saw that Li Yaoxiang's palm did not touch his body, but penetrated directly! Immediately afterwards, he only felt a flower, and the sky was spinning for a while, and then half of his body suddenly left his body and floated lightly in the air.

Garp looked at the translucent palms and the unconscious body behind him in disbelief.

Before he could come back to his senses, his translucent half body was suddenly pulled in front of Li Yaoxiang and smiled: "Who said that to keep you, I have to rely on the potion? You stay that way until I finish, Vice Admiral Garp."

After saying that, Li Yaoxiang walked towards the door.

Garp was shocked: "Wait! Wait!! Where are you going?! Come back! Come back! You can't do anything to Luffy! If you dare to do anything to Luffy, I will never let you go!"

Li Yaoxiang didn't know what to do, and waved his hand: "Forgot to tell you, remember, you are in this state of soul, don't drift out of this study room at will. You might get blown away by the strong wind, then I will really don't know how to explain it to Luffy."

Snapped!

The door is closed.

Kapp murmured in a stunned voice: "Spirit... soul?"

This skill used by Li Yaoxiang is of course the ability of the Shinigami in the Naruto world. He took out Garp's soul, and naturally he was not afraid that Garp would destroy his plan. But there's no need to make it so clear to Garp.

He walked out of the study.

There was no sound of battle in the cabin at this time.

Except for Rob Lucci, who is still struggling, all the other CP9 members have long since died.

Seeing that the person who came was Li Yaoxiang, Rob Lucci, who was covered in scars and bleeding, panted, "Let me go. As long as you let me go, I am willing to be your subordinate. I am stronger than them and useful!"

Li Yaoxiang rubbed his nose in disgust and didn't answer Rob Lucci: "It's just these people, you haven't solved it yet? You even made the whole cabin smell blood. I think I have been slacking in giving you guys some military training, right?"

Speaking of the word military training.

The calm and confident marines on their faces changed their faces in an instant.

All tightened, showing panic.

"Report to Admiral! We will clean up the cabin now; make sure that there will be no bloody smell left!" After saying that, the momentum of the group of marines suddenly increased, and they all attacked Rob Lucci with all their might.

Li Yaoxiang beckoned and summoned two marines at will: "Turn around. We're not going back to the Holy Land. Go back to the base."

"Yes!"

…

A few days later.

After Li Yaoxiang's full propaganda.

Marine hero Monkey D. Garp is the real leader behind the Revolutionary Army, and the news that Monkey D. Garp and CP9 died together soon spread throughout the entire One Piece world.

As soon as this news came out, all forces were immediately alerted.

Everyone knows very well that since the World Government dares to move Monkey D. Garp, it means that the real war may come soon.

The major forces have made full preparations to prepare for all emergencies.

As for the Five Elders who also received the news, they were outraged on the spot, and they immediately used the phone bug to contact Li Yaoxiang.

"Admiral Li Yaoxiang! What the hell is going on? Isn't the content of the quest already made clear? What we want is to capture Monkey D. Garp alive! It's alive!"

"Hah, there's no other way to do it. Don't you know how old and strong Monkey D. Garp is? That's the existence that can rival One Piece Roger. It's not easy to capture him alive. Even the entire group of CP9 got in."

"Okay! Even if the mission fails, why did the news of Monkey D. Garp's death spread all over the world so quickly?! Didn't I tell you before that this matter must be kept secret, and the news must not be spread?!"

"Don't be angry. I know why you want to capture Monkey D. Garp alive. Don't worry, I have learned from the marines under Monkey D. Garp that he has a grandson named Monkey D. Luffy. Monkey D. Luffy is the son of Monkey D. Dragon, and he's definitely more useful than Monkey D. Garp."

"…"

The other end of the phone was silent for a while.

After a while.

"Even so, so what? What name do we use to arrest Monkey D. Luffy? If we let everyone know that we used the son of a hostile force to threaten each other. In the future, what will everyone think of our World Government?"

"Don't worry, I have already thought about this for you. According to the information I got, this Monkey D. Luffy has a sworn brother named Portgas D Ace, but this was changed later. His real name was Gol D. Ace."

"Gol D.?!" "Yes, you must already know what this means, right?"

The other end of the phone was silent for a while.

Obviously, the Five Elders are discussing quickly.

After a while.

"Is the message accurate?"

"100% accurate!"

"This Portgas D. Ace...isn't that the one who was invited by our World Government a while ago to be the captain of the Spade Pirates who go to the Seven Warlords?"

"Yes, we have countless evidence, and we can do something about this Portgas D. Ace. As long as we lure Monkey D. Luffy to the execution ground, at that time, we will not be afraid of excuses to deal with him. It's just... To get our hands on this Portgas D. Ace, we still need to face a problem..."

"What is the problem?"

"I just got the information that this Portgas D. Ace, together with his Spade Pirates, seems to have been merged into the Whitebeard Pirates not long ago..."

"Whitebeard... Admiral Li Yaoxiang, if this matter is left to you, how sure are you?"

"No, no, you're always misunderstanding. When I dealt with Monkey D. Garp, I was already heavily wounded. Now I can only reluctantly promise you that the Marine will be in chaos now that Garp is dead. As for the other things...I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. Of course, if you really want to deal with Portgas D. Ace, I can give you a suggestion, your boss can raise Portgas D. Ace's bounty and reveal his identity. As long as the promised reward is high enough, someone should be tempted to solve this trouble for us."

As soon as the words came out.

The Five Elders on the other end of the phone were confused on the spot.

Their original idea was very simple, to capture Garp alive, use Garp to threaten Monkey D. Dragon, and then during the war, fool Li Yaoxiang, a young and energetic guy, to charge into the front line and stand in the forefront.

Then they will minimize the loss of this battle to a minimum.

Even if the Revolutionary Army can't be uprooted this time, as long as Monkey D. Garp and Monkey D. Dragon are resolved, it will be a profit for them.

But now this seemingly young and vigorous Li Yaoxiang, what nonsense is he talking about?

Before you act, you are so loyal and obedient both outwardly and inwardly.

Now that you ruined their plan, the war is about to start, and you say you can't fight?

The Five Elders can't even think about it.

This wave was completely deceived by Li Yaoxiang.

After regaining his senses, his tone immediately changed from calm to anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! That is to say, you will not be able to participate in the next battle with the Revolutionary Army, right? Admiral Li Yaoxiang!"

"I'm afraid it is, it's such a pity..."

"Humph!"

One of the Five Elders who were talking to him snorted coldly and slammed the phone directly.

…

At the same time.

In the conference room of the Five Elders.

"Damn! This Li Yaoxiang has completely changed! His attitude is completely different from the previous one! He is clearly playing tricks on us!"

The Five Elders who contacted Li Yaoxiang scolded the air for a while.

The meeting room soon fell into a heavy atmosphere.

This time they were really tricked by Li Yaoxiang.

But the problem is that the war drums have already been beaten, and their condition is on the bow and has to be played. And they did have to rely on Li Yaoxiang to suppress the marine for the time being, Li Yaoxiang couldn't help it. Otherwise, in the event of an enemy on the back and belly, even if the problem can be solved in the end, it will be a heavy loss.

The faces of the Five Elders now are like those of dumb people eating berberine, and they are so aggrieved that they can't tell what they are suffering from.

There was silent for a long time.

A sigh came from the mouth of one of the Five Elders.

"Hey... This Li Yaoxiang... It seems that we have all misunderstood..."

The rest nodded in agreement.

"Leave him alone. At present we still need him to suppress the rebellion on the marine side. After the war is over, let's find a way to deal with him!"

"That's all we can do..."

In this way, this long-planned war has begun to brew and ferment all over the world.
