Therefore, El decided to go together.
After all, El is Whitebeard's first friend since he became a pirate!
Since founding his pirate crew, Whitebeard has always valued friends and family very highly.
In the original story, Whitebeard led the entire Whitebeard Pirates directly to Marine Headquarters to save Ace.
This also fully proves that Whitebeard is a very loyal and affectionate person!
"Old... Dad, we're going too," Marco said, hearing Whitebeard's plan to go to Mary Geoise.
"If you're going, take us along too, Dad," others also chimed in.
"Yeah, Mary Geoise is very dangerous. If just you two go, it's too risky. Let us go with you, Dad," some said.
Whitebeard shook his head slightly. "No, you all stay here."
Whitebeard knew very well how dangerous Mary Geoise was.
This time, he only planned to go alone with El.
He didn't intend to bring the other crew members.
"Old..."
Members of Whitebeard's crew wanted to say more, but Whitebeard interrupted.
"Listen to me. Stay here and behave. After all... I'm just going with El to negotiate with the World Government. It's not dangerous," he said.
"But..." they hesitated.
"Alright, you guys, do you not trust my strength?" Whitebeard said seriously.
Hearing Whitebeard's words, the members of Whitebeard's crew looked at each other, then gave up and didn't say anything more.
They knew very well Whitebeard's temper: once he decided something, no one could stop him or persuade him otherwise.
"Are you sure you want to go with me? If it really becomes dangerous, I can't guarantee your safety," Whitebeard said seriously, glancing at El.
Even if the negotiation with the Five Elders at Mary Geoise failed, El was confident he could leave that place safely.
But... if Whitebeard went with him, he wouldn't be able to take care of Whitebeard.
"El, you still underestimate my strength," Whitebeard said calmly.
El knew well that Whitebeard's current strength was among the top in the entire New World.
Whitebeard knew how dangerous the Five Elders were.
But... he didn't really think he wasn't a match for them now!
"Alright then," El nodded upon hearing this.
......
A few days later.
At the top of the Continent of Red Earth.
The territory of the Continent of Red Earth is vast, with the bustling central area called Mary Geoise.
However, much of the land is desolate and barren.
In a remote part of the Continent of Red Earth, a battle was taking place.
And the fighters were none other than Garp and Zephyr!!!
"Boom!!!"
Accompanied by a deafening explosion, Garp's fist collided with Zephyr's.
The ground around them shattered inch by inch, and a terrifying aura radiated from both.
After a brief exchange of attacks, they each retreated backwards.
Garp shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
"Hahaha... Zephyr, your fists have become much stronger!"
"But compared to you, I still have a gap," Zephyr said with a shrug.
Although Zephyr is now a Marine Admiral, Garp, who refused to be promoted to Admiral and remained a Rear Admiral, he could clearly feel during this time of training that he still lagged behind Garp.
"I see you two are back to bragging again," Garp muttered at the side.
"But, the strength of Garp and Zephyr has definitely improved visibly," Silvers Rayleigh said with a slight smile, crossing his arms.
Garp, Zephyr, Garp, and Sengoku appeared here because, since the end of the Battle of the Valley of the Gods, their Marine forces were far weaker than the pirates in the New World.
So, the World Government decided to let the New World pirates fight among themselves, then the Navy began the world conscription, recruiting strong fighters, to strengthen their forces.
Meanwhile, Garp, Zephyr, Sengoku, and Garp all came to Mary Geoise to receive direct guidance and training from the Five Elders!
These four, when they first joined the Navy, were called the "Four Stars of the Navy."
This fully proved how terrifying their talents truly were.
Now, after receiving guidance and training from the Five Elders, their strength has increased by many times compared to during the Battle of the Valley of the Gods!!!
Standing not far away, with arms crossed and watching everything before him, the Five Elders smiled slightly.
"Not bad, your strengths have improved a lot."
"So, when can we leave this place? I'm already eager to set sail and capture those damn pirates!"
Garp excitedly clenched his fists.
Since the end of the Battle of the Valley of the Gods, Garp and the others had been staying in Mary Geoise, receiving training from the Five Elders.
They had hardly left this place.
Now, Garp could clearly feel that his strength had already changed dramatically.
He was eager to go to sea and hunt pirates!
"El, next time we meet, I will definitely defeat him myself!" Zephyr clenched his fists.
Since the end of the Battle of the Valley of the Gods, Zephyr had made up his mind to defeat El.
During this long training period in Mary Geoise, Zephyr had never slackened for a day.
All just to have the chance to personally defeat El someday!
"I didn't kill Whitebeard last time, but next time... I will definitely do it!" Sengoku also couldn't wait to set sail.
"Your strength is indeed not weak, but... now is not the time to leave," the Five Elders shook their heads slightly.
It must be said, Garp and the others truly have extraordinary talent.
After receiving personal guidance and training from the Five Elders, the speed at which Garp and the others improved was even somewhat surprising to them!
But... now is not the time for them to leave.
"Then how long do we have to stay here?" Sengoku asked.
"We don't know either; it depends on Lord Im," the Five Elders said with a slight shake of their head.
Garp and the others' talent and strength had already attracted some interest from Imu.
She had also issued orders for them to be trained seriously.
As for when they would go to sea, that still depended on her approval.
"Imu?"
Hearing this name, Garp and the others exchanged glances.
Although they had heard of Im's name many times in Mary Geoise, none of the four had ever seen Imu with their own eyes.
"Don't worry, with your current strength, Lord Imu will agree to let you go to sea sooner or later," one of the Five Elders said.
"Then we'd better work even harder," Garp clenched his fists.
"Go ahead and train here for now. I still have some things to deal with," the Five Elders said before turning and leaving.
Garp and the others continued their training.
....
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the Continent of Red Earth, Whitebeard, El, and the members of the CP0 organization had already arrived at this place.
