Meanwhile, on the other side.
At the Marine branch in Shells Town.
Vice Admiral Garp, following orders, took custody of Axe-Hand Morgan, perhaps due to carelessness or some other reason.
However, Axe-Hand Morgan seized the opportunity and staged a famous scene.
Subsequently, Koby's excellent performance was noticed by Garp, who took him under his wing.
He planned to take Koby to Naval Headquarters for some proper training.
Then he saw Luffy's bounty poster and the bounty amount on it.
Garp was grinning from ear to ear.
"That hateful brat! The next time we meet, I'll use my iron fist to make him remember everything that happened before."
After saying that, he happily resumed eating his senbei.
At this moment, on a small island in the first half of the Grand Line.
A flamboyant, lanky man wearing glasses and with the number '3' on his head lay leisurely in a deck chair.
"Ah, after all, as a senior agent in Baroque Works, I naturally deserve this kind of treatment!"
The lanky man said narcissistically.
"Mr. 3, you fellow."
A little girl wearing a painter's beret next to him called out his name.
"Hey, hey, hey, there are so many people here, don't just casually call out my name, okay?"
"How many times have I told you, Miss Goldenweek!"
This person was none other than
Galdino, the third-ranked assassin in Baroque Works.
While complaining, he didn't forget to flamboyantly flick the number '3' on his forehead.
The little girl called Miss Goldenweek ignored him.
Instead, she was engrossed in the newspaper in her hand.
"You've been reading these newspapers for days, what's so interesting about them?"
Mr. 3 casually picked up a glass of rum nearby and asked.
"Wouldn't it be better to just enjoy this leisurely time?"
"I'm looking at the mission directives sent by the BOSS."
"Why didn't you say something so important earlier?"
And at this moment.
Reno and his group, after a period of sailing, had successfully arrived at Little Garden.
"Is this the Little Garden Robin mentioned earlier?"
Everyone looked at the sizeable island ahead and said.
"There are so many dense forests here, will there be wild beasts inside?"
According to Usopp's long-standing experience, places like this
would definitely have large wild beasts roaming.
Some of them were even no less in size than some small Sea Kings.
As if to confirm Usopp's conjecture.
As soon as they docked the Going Merry.
Roars of beasts echoed from deep within the dense forest.
Not only that, during their journey,
they even heard the sound of volcanic eruptions,
which immediately put everyone on alert. This was not a sight that could appear on a normal island.
And as the group delved deeper, this phenomenon became even more frequent.
"This island is dangerous!"
"No! It's extremely dangerous!!!"
Feng.
