"I'm not mistaken, that appearance is that of the naval hero Garp."
A cloud of black soot flew onto the ship and eventually coalesced into a bald man wearing a bird-beak mask. Although he looked somewhat gloomy, he was also a member of the revolutionary army—Crow.
The Revolutionary Army's commander, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user with the ability to obtain the Coal-Coal Fruit, was the one who previously discovered Project Garp's whereabouts.
"In any case, the situation has changed now. Dragon, should we change our plan of action?"
With the Revolutionary Army's current military strength, it is entirely possible to overthrow the Goa Kingdom's regime directly.
But the dragon did not have this plan. It held a march, planned an armed rebellion, and directly overthrew the regime of a country. The impact of that was different.
If a country were to be overthrown by violence now, it would inevitably attract more attention from world governments, which is not in line with the current revolutionary army's operational policy.
However, Garp's appearance was an accident, so it doesn't seem like it's impossible to make some temporary changes.
"No, the plan remains unchanged. We are not yet capable of completely changing all of this."
Dragon believed that even if Garp caused something big here, he would have enough ability to clean up the mess. Although he was curious, he eventually led the Revolutionary Army and the refugees away from this area.
"Luffy, who exactly is that? He doesn't seem to be the same as that old man!"
At this time, Project Garp had already broken through the gates of the border town and was heading into the city, while Luffy, Ace, Dadan, and the others began their escape along the route that had been previously frozen open.
Although the voice and appearance were very similar, Ace just felt that something was very wrong.
"Does Garp have a twin brother? What is he doing now?"
Dadan also noticed something was wrong. If it were Garp himself, he should have given each of them a punch after resolving the danger.
Judging from Luffy's nickname for him, "Iron Grandpa," he clearly knows something.
"It's Grandpa Iron. He said it was based on him and was created as something called 'Machine-ist.' It's a secret weapon that a genius doctor researched for the Navy. Ah, this can't be said. Remember to keep it a secret."
Garp didn't flaunt Project Garp everywhere. Before the Pacifistas plan was fully rolled out, the Navy had no intention of revealing the plan in advance, so only Luffy knew the general outline.
However, after he had told everyone everything, he belatedly realized that Garp had told him to keep it a secret.
"You mean, that thing is a robot?"
"It's Grandpa Tie! He has his own ideas and is much gentler than Grandpa."
"If you say so, then so be it, but if he's a robot, does that mean there will be many more Garp in the future?"
"."
Upon hearing Ace's question, Luffy's face suddenly turned deathly pale.
Gentleness depends on who you compare it to; the iron fist of love shows no sign of letting up, and it's already doubled in strength—if only there were more in the future.
The image of a group of Garp lining up to beat him flashed through Luffy's mind. Already exhausted, he collapsed behind a bandit, seemingly terrified.
"Luffy? Luffy!"
After calling out twice and seeing no response from Luffy, Dadan and her crew quickened their pace. It seemed that neither Garp nor Iron Garp could control what they were doing.
At this moment, in the border town, because Garp smashed the city gate that isolated the outside, some people from the uncertain destination also followed him into the border town.
"Please move towards the central street and stay away from the dangerous border town. The rescue and firefighting work will be handled by the national army!"
Inside the border town, the Kingdom of Goa's army was evacuating its citizens. While they claimed to be providing aid, they were carrying firearms, not medical supplies or fire extinguishers.
Their mission is to eliminate any possibility of survivors at the uncertain final destination and completely erase this stain.
"Stop! Untouchables are not allowed in this garbage dump!"
The Kingdom's army tried to stop the survivors, but Project Garp's punch sent them flying, and he dismantled their weapons one by one.
Bluejem had previously told Luffy and Ace about the King's plan, and Luffy then relayed it to Project Garp.
Even though there were many discrepancies in Luffy's message, it made Project Garp realize one thing: the person who planned this operation was the King.
After rushing into the border town, Project: Garp did not stop at all and continued to rush towards the high town.
"Report! Invaders have broken into Border Town! They are now advancing towards High Town!!!"
The Kingdom's army in the border town couldn't stop Project Garp's advance at all, and could only report the danger to the higher-ups.
Upon receiving the report, the garrison of Gao Town initially dismissed it with disdain. However, not long after, when the gate of Gao Town was also smashed open with a single punch, they could no longer remain silent.
"Honestly, it's already evening, but the southern sky is still so bright. It's so annoying."
"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty, we will draw the curtains immediately."
Inside the palace, the king of the Goa Kingdom was complaining about the blinding light of the fire, completely ignoring the fact that he was the one who had started it.
"It's terrible! Your Majesty! The rebels are attacking!! You must seek refuge immediately!"
Another servant rushed over from the side, reporting the bad news.
"What?! How many people are there?!"
Snap!
The king dropped his teacup, his face instantly turning grim, and he immediately got up to flee.
"There was only one person, but..."
"It's just one person, why are you so panicked? Order the Kingdom's army to suppress them."
Upon hearing that there was only one person, he calmly sat down again, his expression even showing some displeasure, as if he felt that the attendant was giving false information.
boom!
Just as the king was pondering how to deal with the servants, the doors to the palace hall flew off and embedded themselves directly in the wall behind the throne.
"But he's already at the door."
Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters, Sengoku looked at Garp in front of him and said, "Garp, I've received news that you've betrayed us."
