Chapter 639: Garp's Fruitless Trip
Just as Hades had predicted, Garp did not find the whereabouts of Roger's wife on Baterilla Island in the South Blue.
Currently, the Marines were extensively conducting World Conscription.
There was no external war, no need to confront the Great Pirates of the New World.
Garp took on a leisurely assignment, going to the Four Seas to capture Pirates, treating it as a vacation.
His primary objective was the South Blue, not his hometown, the East Blue.
The target was naturally the wife and Child Roger had entrusted to him before his execution.
Garp and Roger were both enemies and friends.
He knew that if the World Government learned of the Child's existence, they would absolutely not give up.
However, he knew that the Child was innocent.
Garp did not refuse Roger's entrustment to him before his death.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he came to this ordinary Island.
The Island was somewhat dilapidated.
It could be seen that in the three months since the bloody battle ended, this Island had likely been subjected to Pirate attacks more than once.
However, the strength of the new Pirates was not strong.
Many Island Residents could repel the Pirates by picking up weapons, though losses were inevitable.
"Could something have happened?"
Upon arriving at the Island, the Marines landed under the name of gathering intelligence on Pirates, but what about Garp?
He quietly entered the Forest at the edge of the Island.
His actions had to be reasonable, otherwise, he might be found out by the World Government's dark wolves, who would find some clues.
It must be said that Garp was very careful.
Inside the Forest, there was a small house that looked quite warm.
However, Garp frowned.
It seemed like no one had lived here for a long time.
Some daily necessities still remained.
But where did the master of this place go?
"Could they have died?"
Garp thought of something bad.
After arranging for the Marines to inquire on the Island, Garp breathed a sigh of relief.
The Woman who lived here seemed to have left.
She had taken a ship to another Island a few weeks ago.
The specifics were still unclear.
This did not ease Garp's worries.
Not knowing the message was also a manifestation of an unknown fate, whether life or death.
Garp believed that Roger's wife had escaped the Island in advance, worried about Pirates invading again and the possible pursuit by the World Government.
Little did he know that Rouge simply did not believe Garp.
Staying by Garp's side might be safer, but it would also be more dangerous.
As a Mother, how could she trust an outsider?
Entrusting the Child to Garp was only a helpless act because Rouge's life was not long, and Garp was the only hope, given his title of "Marine Hero".
Naturally, there was no need for that now.
However, Garp would not give up so easily.
It would be difficult for him to find them alone.
So, he planned to borrow the strength of the Marines to find the whereabouts of Roger's Child.
The Woman named Portgas D. Rouge also had the hidden surname D.
It could just be treated as an acquainted relative.
And he also wanted Roger's Child to walk a broad road and become a righteous Marine.
As a Marine Admiral, a close friend of Sengoku and Advisor Tsuru, and a member of the Marine High Command, Garp rarely asked them for help.
Since he had spoken, they would naturally take this matter to heart.
Allocating a portion of the Intelligence Force to help Garp with this small favor was not a trouble.
Mobilizing the Marines' Intelligence Officers in the South Blue, the Marine Headquarters quickly found the operation trajectory of Rouge's departure.
However, tracing it to the end, the Marines finally traced it to the Divine Light Empire.
"Garp, that Woman and a Child who was just born not long ago were taken away by people from the Divine Light Empire."
"They are now living on Tilost Island and seem to be a key attention target for the Divine Light Empire."
Sengoku's serious voice came through the Den Den Mushi.
"Divine Light Empire?"
Hearing this name, Garp felt somewhat familiar.
It seemed to be a relatively powerful Kingdom in the South Blue.
But why would they take them away?
Could it be that they already. . .?
Garp did not believe that a Kingdom would have any benefit for Roger's wife and Child.
If they already knew their true identity, there must be some special scheme behind it.
Roger's entrustment, coupled with Garp's idea of cultivating Roger's Child into a Marine, made him eagerly hope to be able to save them.
"Sengoku, tell me the intelligence and I'll go bring them out."
Garp said into the Den Den Mushi.
"Garp, you cannot act rashly. The Divine Light Empire is not as simple as it appears on the surface. I will arrange people to cooperate with you."
Sengoku guessed that Garp might plan to act privately and immediately spoke to stop him.
Garp was not clear about these Superpowers, while Sengoku, like Tsuru, had specifically researched them and was clear about the Divine Light Empire's terrible strength.
If Garp acted randomly, his whereabouts would quickly be exposed.
If he wanted to save the people, he must bring them out without the Divine Light Empire noticing.
"Understood."
Garp also realized that the Divine Light Empire seemed not simple.
As the Den Den Mushi hung up, Sengoku's expression was uncertain.
If it were just an ordinary relative, it would be fine, but why were the people taken away by the Divine Light Empire?
There were many suspicious points hidden within, but Sengoku did not expose them.
"Garp, what exactly are you hiding?"
Regarding his old partner, Sengoku could say he understood him too well.
There must be some problem here.
However, since Garp wasn't saying, he would turn a blind eye.
Without other stress, Sengoku was still very willing to accommodate Garp.
Meanwhile, on the other side, a man with golden hair, looking somewhat unkempt and wearing slippers, boarded a merchant ship heading for the South Blue.
Roger Pirates Vice-Captain, Rayleigh.
An old friend doing intelligence work in the Underworld unexpectedly learned a big piece of news: the Pirate King Roger actually had a son, and he was now being targeted by the Marines and a certain Kingdom, about to face a crisis.
Rayleigh knew the news that Roger had a Child.
Upon learning this news, Rayleigh naturally wouldn't just watch the Captain's Child suffer danger, especially falling into the hands of the Marines.
No matter what kind of road this Child chooses in the future, he has a responsibility to provide the Captain's Child with a safe environment to grow up in.
Not even half a year had passed since Roger died.
The various Crewmates still had very deep relationships.
If another ten or so years passed, they might not intervene.
This news was naturally revealed by Hades.
He didn't mind making the Great Sea a bit more lively.
Although he wouldn't directly intervene, this didn't mean he wouldn't add trouble for the Divine Light Empire.
