Chapter 130: Garp Arrives to Help, Panting Sengoku!
The Money Pirates stayed on Enies Lobby for about an hour.
Directly scavenged all valuable things on Enies Lobby.
This included Spandam's two Devil Fruits, the Ox-Ox Fruit Model: Giraffe and the Bubble-Bubble Fruit, as well as a sword that had eaten a Devil Fruit.
Besides these.
The pirates found about five hundred million Berries and a large amount of food on Enies Lobby.
Therefore.
After Lister left Enies Lobby.
He didn't return to Water 7 to replenish supplies and exchange cash.
Sailing directly forward.
Not long after the Money Pirates left.
Several warships entered Enies Lobby through the Gates of Justice.
"Have they left??"
Garp had just stepped onto Enies Lobby when he activated his Kenbunshoku Haki, but unfortunately didn't sense the existence of Lister and the others.
Garp waved his hand, letting all Marines on the warships disembark to take full control of Enies Lobby.
At the same time, a pink-haired young man also stepped onto Enies Lobby with him.
This young man was Coby, who would be called a hero in the future!!
Two hours ago!
When the Money Pirates were bombarding Enies Lobby with warships.
The Rear Admiral in charge of Enies Lobby's garrison dialed the emergency number to Marine Headquarters.
Unfortunately, at that time, Kizaru wasn't at Marine Headquarters.
While shocked.
Sengoku sent Garp directly to support Enies Lobby.
This matter was quite serious, so Garp didn't refuse the mission assigned by Sengoku, leading an elite force to rush towards Enies Lobby.
His speed couldn't be said to be slow.
In just under two hours, he rushed from Marineford to Enies Lobby.
But ended up catching nothing.
"What are the casualties on the island??" After stepping onto Enies Lobby, Garp immediately found the highest-ranking survivor on Enies Lobby to ask about the current situation.
"Vice Admiral Garp, after the Money Pirates left... I counted the survivors. Out of ten thousand garrison troops, only one thousand three hundred survived. CP9 was completely wiped out, and among other staff members, more than half were killed or injured, only two hundred survived. Surprisingly, no prisoners awaiting trial died, nor did anyone escape. Also, the food and money on the island were all scavenged by the Money Pirates. Without support, I'm afraid we will starve to death."
The garrison Rear Admiral was struck dead by Nami, and the highest ranking surviving Marine was only a Commander. It was this Commander who was reporting the situation on the island to Garp at this time.
"That bastard Godspeed Lister, truly ruthless enough!!" Garp couldn't help but curse loudly after hearing the Commander's report.
"This is too excessive, I must catch him." Coby beside him also said indignantly.
"Haha... Then you have to work hard, Coby!!" Hearing Coby's words, Garp couldn't help but laugh.
"Aye, Vice Admiral Garp, I will definitely put in my utmost effort to become stronger!" Coby said with a serious face.
Garp felt gratified. When he first met him, he didn't think much of Coby.
But after getting along for a while.
He gradually discovered Coby's merits.
Now he treated Coby as his successor.
"I'm old after all, in the future, the Marines will rely on you young people!!"
Garp took a deep look at Coby.
Turned to the Marine Commander and said: "I will have someone send a batch of supplies!"
"Aye!" The Commander hurriedly saluted Garp.
At this time.
A Major hurried over.
This Major was someone Garp brought.
"Vice Admiral Garp! I found Chief Spandam nailed to the wall of the Courthouse in the trial hall, confirmed dead. Besides that, there is a Camera Snail!"
After the Major finished speaking, he handed a Camera Snail to Garp.
Garp took the Camera Snail and looked at it, asking casually: "Have you seen the content inside the Camera Snail??"
"Seen it, it shows the entire process of Chief Spandam being killed. However..." The Major paused here, his face becoming incredibly solemn.
"However what?? Speak!!" Garp said.
"Aye." Hearing this, the Major tried to calm down a bit, then spoke again: "Also, the Buster Call was mentioned. Godspeed Lister personally stated that before coming to Enies Lobby, he led the Money Pirates to defeat the Buster Call fleet! Moreover, of the Buster Call fleet, except for less than two hundred soldiers who were let go... The five Vice Admirals, twenty Rear Admirals, hundred Captains, and seven thousand elites were completely annihilated!!"
"Nani???" Everyone's faces changed drastically.
Even Garp was no exception.
This matter was too serious.
Moreover, before this.
Marine Headquarters hadn't received any wind of it.
Truly terrifying.
"Report this matter to Sengoku immediately." Garp said in a deep voice, simultaneously handing the Camera Snail in his hand to the Major.
"Aye!!"
The Major responded, took the Camera Snail, and walked towards the warship.
On the warship, while using the Den Den Mushi to report the Enies Lobby and Buster Call matters to Sengoku, he used the equipment on the warship to transmit the footage recorded by the Camera Snail back to Marine Headquarters.
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Sengoku's office!
Bang!!!
After hearing the Major's report, Sengoku slammed the table in fury.
"Money Pirates, how dare you... How dare you be so ruthless!! Five Vice Admirals, twenty Rear Admirals, over a hundred Captains, more than seven thousand elites... How much time, manpower, and resources does our Marine organization need to cultivate them. Yet they were buried in one day. Money Pirates, Godspeed Lister. I, Sengoku, will not rest until you are dead!" Sengoku roared directly, his face red with anger.
At the same time, he regretted a little in his heart.
Actually, when Spandam launched the Buster Call.
He received the notification.
Originally, he could have stopped it, or increased the troop strength.
But he chose to remain silent at the time.
Neither stopping the Buster Call nor strengthening its power.
After all, five Vice Admirals, twenty Rear Admirals, a hundred Captains, over seven thousand elites, plus hundreds of cannons, such a lineup would make even an Admiral retreat.
Moreover, when Lister fought Aokiji, he hadn't reached true Admiral level.
It was only with Nami's sneak attack that the careless Aokiji was defeated.
Originally thought that facing the Buster Call, the Money Pirates could at most break out of the encirclement.
Unexpectedly, the Money Pirates were so strong, Lister so ferocious.
Directly annihilated the entire Buster Call fleet.
"It's all that guy Aokiji's fault for misleading me!! Also that bastard Spandam, launching a Buster Call out of nowhere. Now look, not only killed seven thousand Marine elites, but ultimately reaped what he sowed." While Sengoku felt heartbroken for the more than seven thousand sacrificed soldiers, he couldn't help but subconsciously push the responsibility onto Aokiji and Spandam.
Knock knock knock!!
At this time.
The door to Sengoku's office was knocked.
"Come in!!"
The one opening the door was a white-haired old lady.
None other than Marine Chief Staff Officer Vice Admiral Tsuru!
Behind Tsuru, there were several people.
They also followed into Sengoku's office.
"Sengoku, received the footage transmitted from Garp's side, want to take a look?"
"Let's take a look!!" Sengoku said with a gloomy face.
Soon, several General Staff officers set up the playback equipment and closed the curtains.
Then played the video recorded by Yulan.
Before this, although Sengoku had made some psychological preparations.
But watching the annihilation of the Buster Call fleet come out of Lister's mouth, for a moment, Sengoku was so angry his face turned iron-green.
"Damn Lister..."
