Project: Garp's intervention saved them from a lot of trouble, but they also suffered serious injuries and are now wrapped in bandages.
The bandits lacked medicine, and these items were the medical kits that Project Garp had given them during the fire.
"Have you seen this pattern in newspapers many times before?"
Dadan looked at the gear pattern on the medical kit and felt it looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.
"It's Piltover, the newspapers say it's a country on the Grand Line. They say their king is building libraries everywhere for people to read for free. But the king of the Goa Kingdom has rejected their efforts."
A man with a hairstyle and beard resembling a rooster was talking about something in the newspaper next to him, while Luffy seemed thoughtful, as if the name Piltover sounded familiar.
"I'm sure someone has told me somewhere, but I can't remember where."
Luffy easily misremembers three-character names, and five-character names clearly exceed the brain's capacity at this point, almost causing him to crash due to his injury.
At that moment, Project Garp arrived, holding a letter in his hand.
"Grandpa Iron?"
"A man named Sabo sent you a letter."
[Ace, Luffy, were you hurt by the fire?]
Although I'm worried, I believe you'll be alright.
I'm so sorry, by the time you read this letter, I'll already be at sea. A lot has happened, and I've decided to set sail first.
Has Saab already set sail?
"I saw a small boat with black sails sailing out to sea before. After investigation, it turned out to be that man named Sabo. This matter has nothing to do with you anymore, Luffy, Ace. The reason you became like this is because you were too weak."
Gaspard and Rosinante did not use the code to reset the command, so Project Garp is still carrying out his previous mission - training Luffy, and incidentally training his two older brothers.
Project Garp brought the letter to reassure Luffy and his crew, but then he seemed to have transformed into Kaido and uttered some dangerous words.
Even the oblivious Luffy had a bad feeling after hearing this and jumped up to retreat to the wall.
"Very good, you can stand up. Your body has almost recovered. Next, I will conduct the training of 'approaching death infinitely as long as you don't die.' Get ready."
"Wait, Grandpa Tie, can you please not imitate Grandpa?"
"no."
"Help!!"
The once quiet Mount Kopol erupted into chaos again, as Ace and Luffy experienced firsthand what the cold iron fist of love truly meant.
Piltover, Project Garp's situation was just a minor episode here, expected, but unexpected in this way.
Compared to the initial headaches faced by the Navy, the Piltover personnel even watched a movie for a while, led by Oran.
Then we began preparing for this year's World Conference.
"So, anyone interested in going this year?"
"I don't want to go. Let's wait until they consider turning on the electricity."
Frankenstein still harbored resentment over the lack of electricity in Mary Geoise's social square, while Perona waved her hands repeatedly, clearly still haunted by the last world conference.
Those annoying, fly-like creatures completely ruined her mood.
Leliana had the same reason; she knew what kind of place it was, and Leliana had absolutely no desire to torture herself there.
She'd rather go to Charlotte Linlin's tea party than the World Conference; at least the food there would better satisfy her appetite.
In Mary Geoise's social square, a whole table of snacks wouldn't even fill a tooth gap.
"If none of you are going, then I'll go. I'm quite curious about that place."
"Hmph, once you go there you'll know how annoying that place is, especially those so-called princes, who are all incredibly arrogant because of their status."
Perona expressed her anticipation for Uta's initiative to go there, and said she would wait until Uta returned to regret it.
"I'm not afraid of those guys. My dad, Oran, is here. What could possibly happen?"
"Sigh, you're too young. You don't understand how awful those kinds of guys are."
"You're only three years and eight months older than me, don't act like an adult!"
"But I am your sister, and you won't even call me sister. It's really heartbreaking."
While the two were arguing, Rosinandi and Gaspardi, who had already returned from the East China Sea, arrived near Firefly Island.
Gaspard originally didn't want to come here, but the Navy Headquarters sent new orders for them to go to Firefly Island to report on the specific situation of the Pacifistas and, incidentally, discuss the details of the event.
After all, the Navy Headquarters had no idea how detailed Oran's knowledge of this matter was.
Despite the rapid changes on the island, Gaspardi only felt a headache coming on, but he still came here and met Oran himself, telling him about what happened back then.
"The World Conference is about to begin, and I expect the people from the Goa Kingdom will bring this up again, if they still show up at the conference."
World Conferences are always accompanied by pirate attacks, and it's not uncommon for royalty to be kidnapped or attacked. If something really goes wrong, all we can do is mourn.
However, Gaspard was just saying that; he didn't intend to do anything dangerous.
"Don't be so nervous. If you really take him seriously, the Kingdom of Goa doesn't consider the residents outside the city as citizens, but allows them to play a role in production. This is definitely tax evasion."
Setting fires in the most "pure and beautiful" country in the East China Sea is destructive and polluting to the environment.
As the king of a member state, colluding with pirates is a violation of the law.
Piling up garbage in vacant lots without treating it wastes arable land and is a clear act of destruction against agriculture.
What do you think of this reasoning?
If all else fails, we can add the charge of damaging the navy's reputation and hindering pacifist research.
Oran prepared a list of charges for the Goa Kingdom based on the Five Elders' classification. Generally speaking, they were all somewhat related, but Gaspardi broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.
This is even more dangerous than the halfway attack he mentioned.
They still won.
