Seeing Garp barge in without knocking once again, Sengoku finally couldn't control his emotions in front of Oran.
According to Garp, the idea is to completely transform Project Garp into a new Garp, which would only double the number of Garps.
To exaggerate a bit, imagine mass-produced pacifists adopting Garp's style.
The pacifists, who emerged to maintain order and suppress pirates, might become the source of unrest.
"Puhahaha, here we go again. Don't be so stingy. Doctor, would you like some senbei? This is a special supply from the Marine Headquarters, and it's a new flavor. I wonder where Sengoku got it from."
Under Sengoku's almost fiery gaze, Garp rummaged around and managed to find two unopened packets of senbei, which he generously shared with Oran.
"Vice Admiral Karp, is it possible that this was produced in Piltover but is just packaged in Navy packaging?"
"Is that so? Sengoku, you're getting more and more stingy. You didn't even tell me about this."
The easygoing Garp didn't care about this at all, and instead continued to blame Sengoku.
"First of all, Ah He mentioned this before, but you just didn't pay any attention."
Secondly, could you explain to me why my rice crackers were in that place?
"Of course, I hid it there when I came last time, so I can take it out in front of you."
Not only was it hidden, but it was also Senbei (a type of rice cracker) from the Warring States period, and it was hidden right in the Warring States period's office.
As Garp's words became increasingly inhumane, Sengoku began to suspect that Garp was deliberately trying to sabotage him.
Anyway, Oran was an acquaintance, and since Garp was so shameless, Sengoku also let loose and snatched both bags of senbei.
After tossing a package to Oran, he opened the packaging himself and showed off a bite-sized one.
"That's more like it. We've known each other for so many years, stop worrying about appearances and just relax, okay?"
Only when you get to know each other to a certain extent will you be able to relax more. For example, when you go out to see a friend, you won't wash your hair or wear a hat, and you won't even bother to cover yourself up.
If it's not a deliberate attempt to distance themselves, then they're probably extremely familiar with each other.
Garp's actions seemed to be aimed at closing the distance, but Sengoku always felt that Garp had a conspiracy.
In fact, Karp does have an idea now.
The Pacifista Project has not yet been announced, and very few people within the Navy know about it. As a result, many people believe that the actions of Project Garp were taken by Garp himself.
Now, thinking about it from the opposite perspective, can't the things we do also be said to be done by robots?
If you bring Kuzan along and leave some traces of freezing, or get a freezing weapon from Oran alone, it would be "ironclad evidence."
Let the robot take the blame for you, and some things will be easier to handle.
Thinking about it carefully, even if the pacifist plan were announced, it seems I could still do the same, as long as I stubbornly deny it and there are no eyewitnesses or video evidence.
Unless the pacifists dismantle it and expose the metal parts inside, it's hard to say whether this is Garp or a pacifist.
If Garp were to start mimicking the robots' every move from now on, causing people to develop certain habits, it would be even more difficult to tell them apart.
If Sengoku knew what Garp was thinking, he would probably ask Oran to see if Garp's privileges could be revoked.
However, Garp wasn't so absurd as to say this directly. He just occasionally showed some strange smiles, which made Sengoku want to find him a doctor, but he held back in the end.
Thinking about it carefully, with a world-class doctor right next to him and Oran saying nothing, Garp probably isn't having an episode; he's just stirring things up.
"In short, the requirements can be changed at any time. If you are willing to invest time and resources, even if it takes a few more years, PX0 can be recycled and rebuilt. It is not complicated for the Pacifistas to make some modifications later. We'll have to see how things go."
"After leaving Uta, it's time to go to Mary Geoise; the World Conference should be starting soon."
After lingering in Marineford for a while, kings from all over the world arrived at Redport one after another, and Morgans himself took photos there with newspaper reporters.
The kings of various countries are also a big deal. If possible, Morgans would like to go to the Red Earth to conduct interviews, but at this time, a reporter like him cannot go up there.
Ultimately, all they can do is try their luck down there, hoping to catch some big news, like the king of a country participating in a world conference going missing.
However, Morgans was destined to be disappointed. At this point, the navy would even reduce its pursuit of pirates in other sea areas in order to safely deliver these kings to the meeting location.
"Uta, I have to go to a meeting. You can stay here in the social square for now. Don't hold back if you encounter anyone you dislike. We don't provoke others, but if anyone tries to provoke us, don't worry, just fight back."
Normally, people here would try to avoid conflict, since noise in such a setting could potentially escalate into a national conflict.
But Piltover doesn't care about that; if someone gives Piltover a pretext for war over something like this, it's actually a good thing for Piltover.
"Please rest assured, Father Oran, I will not act recklessly."
Uta replied very obediently, even changing the way she addressed him.
Although Oran didn't care about her willfulness, Uta didn't think that way.
One generation plants the trees so that another can enjoy the shade. People also learn from their mistakes. Frankenstein's "coldness" and the social death incident that happened around Perona seem to have taught these people a lesson, while Uta, on the contrary, did not suffer too much harassment.
There was another reason: in the eyes of other royal families, Uta was not "legitimate" enough.
Compared to the solid colors she had "inherited" before, Uta's red and white gave these members of the royal family the feeling that she was at most an illegitimate child.
There are also special intelligence networks among royal families. It is common knowledge that Oran has no son. In that case, the future of Piltover will be handed over to a certain queen.
It is obvious that this "illegitimate daughter" has a much lower status than the legitimate daughter.
These royal families valued bloodlines above all else. Even though their national strength was inferior to that of Piltover, they still harbored unrealistic dreams, such as marrying or marrying into the royal family.
Of course, this doesn't mean there's no one here. After all, the fact that Uta was brought here means that Oran has accepted her as a princess.
However, after Uta politely rejected a suitor with ulterior motives, she heard him muttering complaints.
"She's just an illegitimate daughter, maybe not even his biological child. What's there to be so proud of?"
