207. Brewing storm

Garp didn't speak much and just threw the posters at Luffy and Ken.

"Straw Hat Luffy: 500 million bellies."

"Punisher Kenny: 700 million bellies."

"Demon Slayer Zoro: 400 million bellies."

"Vulcan feet Sanji, 390 million bellies."

"Weather bender Nami: 300 million bellies."

"White Arrow Ussop: 350 million bellies."

"The Princess Vivi: 100 million bellies."

"Demon Girl Robin: 150 million bellies."

"Cyborg Franky: 70 million bellies."

"The animal and pet Chopper: 200 bellies."

The Straw Hats were surprised to see such a huge change since the last time they had seen their own posters. The photos had changed a lot. They got crispier and were more handsome than the previous ones. The poster of Nami and Vivi got sexier. The poster of Robin was updated, and it was no longer of a child but an adult one.

Ussop got a cool poster with his bow and arrow. He looked like Ishida Uryuu here, but his face was different, and he was definitely glowing in white light, just like a God. The only thing that remained constant was Chopper's bounty.

"Luffy.. Ken.. Stay out of trouble. The Navy is going to make big moves. Thanks to you." Garp suddenly spoke out of nowhere as they approached the gate.

"Big moves? Against us?" Ken asked while turning his head and looking at his grandpa.

"No. It's the New World." Garp said. Luffy didn't seem to be affected at all since it was the New World and they hadn't reached that place, but Ken had his eyebrows creased.

"Sengoku wants to go after Whitebeard. Doesn't he?" Ken said. This stiffened Garp. He didn't expect his grandson to be able to actually predict the thoughts of his friend.

"How do you know?"

"It's easy. After what we had done here, it probably crushed the morale of the Navy, and they want to boost themselves. And going after an old man would definitely help their cause." Ken said.

"Whitebeard? Isn't he the Captain of Ace?" Luffy said. Others too got interested once the brother of their Captain came into the picture.

"Sigh. I don't know what Sengoku is thinking, but they have decided to go after Whitebeard." Garp said.

"So the Marineford was still happening." Ken thought but didn't speak his mind. He had been trying to avoid the Marineford War, but it seemed his own actions might have caused a problem here.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I will stay out of trouble." Luffy promised.

"You are the one to talk." Zoro reprimanded Luffy, to which he laughed. Somehow the Straw hats had a feeling that they might get involved in the mess that was brewing. But they didn't mind since Ace was the brother of Ken and Luffy. The Straw Hats didn't spend more time and went to the Port to see their Merry, which had not only been repaired but also added many things.

Suffice to say, when the Straw Hats laid their eyes on the ship, they almost jumped out of fear. Merry looked nothing like Merry at the moment, and the only thing that represented that this was Merry was the goat head at the front. Other than that, the whole exterior had been changed.

"Welcome to the new Merry... This ship can go both on air and under water."
