206. New bounties on the horizon

206. New bounties on the horizon

"Ex-fav student? Does he mean Aokiji? How does my grandson know of our relations?" Garp mumbled. It was true that Aokiji had learned a lot from him over the years, but as time went by, he was getting more and more disappointed in him. Not because of his lazy attitude or anything. It was because Garp felt that he wasn't cut out to make it big in the Navy.

Aokiji seemed to be too undecisive, and that was a problem in this world, especially in the Navy, where his opponent was Akainu. A man hell-bent on bringing absolute justice Though he didn't fear him as he could easily teach Akainu a lesson, he didn't want to meddle in power politics.

"The Navy is willing to compensate for the wrongdoing and will exempt Water 7 from taking any taxes from the island in the next 5 years." Garp turned to Iceburg and bowed down to him. Iceburg, who was only here to watch the drama, didn't expect such words from Garp.

When the Navy came again, he had already sent down the orders to stop them. Though the Straw Hats had assured him that the Navy wouldn't come after him, after getting assaulted and trying to be kidnapped twice, he didn't believe the Government at all.

He was ready to fight it out with them since these people didn't even care for the lives of the people on the island. But now, seeing such relations between the Navy and the Straw Hats, he was confused.

How the hell were there such complications in this world? A man who fought against Roger was the grandpa of these pirates, who decimated Buster Call like it was nothing. Iceburg didn't know what to say, but he was still angry. He looked at Garp and said,

"I don't hold the prisoners. It was they who had captured them. I don't have that much power." Iceburg said. This was family drama, so of course he wasn't going to meddle in it.

"You see, Luffy, now you even have the mayor of an island backing you. Do you even know how this sounds to the government? You are taking power away from the world government. You would be hunted down if they found out. I thought you, Ken, were the smartest of them all." Garp got frustrated a bit and yelled at Ken and Luffy.

"They are already hunting us down." Ken replied.

"Good. That seals the deal." Sanji said. The decision to not allow the CP agents was taken jointly by everyone present. In fact, Luffy didn't seem to care and was ready to give Lucci and others away as they weren't really powerful or mattered to him.

But Ken was very adamant about these two. In fact, he wanted to keep Califa too but thought otherwise at the end. Ken held a special hatred for Lucci and Spandam that couldn't be described in words. A person who was ready to kill people just because someone was a pirate shouldn't be allowed to roam free.

He felt the same for Akainu too, but that would take time and strength to tackle, which they didn't have at the moment. Soon they would, and that was where the whole problem would start. Iceburg got the clue, and he asked the galley workers to bring the prisoners. After half an hour, sleeping bodies were piled in the front yard. The navy, seeing the sleeping CP agents, got scared and checked on them, only to realize that it was just normal tranquilizers.

Garp just looked at everything with dead fish eyes but, at the end, laughed out loud. Though he was angry, he was also proud that his grandsons were able to take down CP agents so early. He knew that the Government had messed this up big time, and he was in for all the drama between the Government and the Straw hats.

"Ken.. Luffy.. You all have new bounties."

"Really?"

"Wohooo."

"I need a new face."

"Do you think as a Princess I will have a new bounty?"

"I need a big bounty.."
