Chapter 353: Conversation with Garp
"Roger's child is pretty good."
Jiang Qize looked at Ace with a smile and said softly.
Garp's pupils suddenly contracted.
How did he know Ace was Gol D. Roger's child… At this point in time, it should be that no one besides him knew. How could he possibly know…
When Jiang Qize first set out to sea, Garp had seen him—it was right when he had brought Ace back to the East Blue.
So how exactly did Jiang Qize find out?!
"I know many things. I also know your son is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and that you all belong to the 'D' clan."
Jiang Qize looked at him and said with a smile.
"Grandpa, what is this big brother talking about? Why can't I understand anything?"
Little Monkey D. Luffy opened his wide eyes and asked in confusion.
"It's nothing. Ace, take Luffy and leave."
Garp said in a deep voice.
"Oh…"
Ace responded unwillingly, then carried Luffy away.
"Why are you here?"
Garp looked at him solemnly. A powerful aura gradually rose from his body, and a wave of dust began to swirl across the ground.
"Oh?"
Seeing Garp, Jiang Qize's eyes lit up in surprise.
"You actually broke through…" he said, astonished.
Yes—Garp had unexpectedly broken through to the pseudo-Emperor level.
"But even if you've broken through, so what? Old man Garp, I really just came here to take a look. But since you're here, I'll ask one thing while I'm at it."
Jiang Qize looked at him with a smile.
"Join me… how about it?"
"Hmph. Do you think that's possible? I'm a Marine, you're a pirate—good and evil cannot coexist!"
Garp said coldly.
"Good and evil… hahaha…"
Jiang Qize burst into laughter. A terrifying aura spread out from his body, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
In that instant, the heavens and earth changed color as dark clouds gathered.
The entire Foosha Village dimmed.
Garp's pupils shrank.
His strength had actually reached such a level.
"Good and evil… Are the Celestial Dragons good or evil?"
Jiang Qize stopped laughing and looked at him, his eyes gleaming.
"I have never killed ordinary people. Am I good… or evil?"
Two questions in a row.
Garp looked at him seriously and said coldly, "Disrupting the order of the world is evil. Every time you fight and plunder, it indirectly harms ordinary people. How many have been left homeless because of it?"
"And do you know how many people were forced into becoming pirates by you? Every year, the Heavenly Tribute—how much blood and sweat do those nations have to squeeze out to gather it? Yet those World Nobles have never paid a single cent. What do you say to that?"
"If there were no pirates, the whole world would become prosperous. Naturally, the situation you mentioned wouldn't exist!"
Garp said in a deep voice.
"Hahaha… Garp, oh Garp, you really know how to deceive yourself. Even your own son became part of the Revolutionary Army to overthrow the current rule of the World Government, and yet you're still making excuses for that laughable 'justice.'"
"Although Monkey D. Dragon may be a bit overestimating himself, his starting point is good. He can indeed cause some trouble for the World Government."
A trace of mockery curled at Jiang Qize's lips.
"Speaking of which… wasn't it the Celestial Dragons who overthrew the rule of the 'D' clan back then? And now your 'D' clan wants to overturn the world again and return to the top—won't that be quite difficult?"
"Join me. I'll bring you back to the peak. You won't have to hide like rats anymore. How about it?"
Jiang Qize said with a smiling gaze.
"Summoner, if you came here just to say all this, then you can leave now."
Garp said coldly.
