The Alternatives of the Tianlong Family

"boom!"

As the gate closed, the Fleet Admiral pondered Garp's last words.

"What... what's going on? Is this still the Garp I know?"

"If you said he...if you said he was lying, I would believe you!!!"

After a long while, Is also ready.

This time, only Is, Tatsumaki, Madara Uchiha, Acnologia, and Rose Minnian went out, while the remaining maids stayed in the castle.

Of course, it wasn't that Iss wouldn't allow it, but rather that they didn't want the hassle of traveling.

"Garp?"

Upon arriving at the port, next to the World Government's ship, Is saw Garp sitting to the side, seemingly having been waiting for some time.

"We meet again, Bernard Issain!"

"You are????"

"Oh, I'll be your escort on this trip, protecting your safety. But... I think I'm superfluous, because... these three beside you all exude the aura of ferocious beasts, hahahaha." Garp laughed loudly as he finished speaking.

Garp was referring to Madara Uchiha, Acnologia, and Tatsumaki.

Although I felt that I didn't need to go along, one thing at a time, escorting them was still necessary.

Is smiled slightly. He understood Garp's personality; he was just like that, very easygoing.

However, what truly surprised Is was that this escort mission was actually undertaken by Garp.

You should know that this guy is the one in the Navy who least wants to deal with Celestial Dragons.

Therefore, it seems there is only one truth: he was forced.

“This time, you can slack off and don’t need to take responsibility.” Is changed the subject abruptly.

The meaning is also very clear: this time Garp does not need to accompany the voyage, and even if something happens, he will not have to bear any responsibility.

Upon hearing this, Garp paused for a moment, then grinned and said, "Military orders cannot be disobeyed. As a naval officer, leading the way in breaking military orders is a serious crime!"

Although his tone sounded very serious, for some reason, Is felt that Garp was secretly pleased.

"Is it just my imagination?"

Is muttered to himself, and since Garp was unwilling, he didn't say anything more.

"Let's set sail!"

For convenience, Yis drew out the approximate coordinates, which the navigator observed with a compass. This time, the location pointed to a member state of the World Government.

Then, the navy immediately contacted the kings of the member states and asked them to prepare to welcome them.

The journey takes about three hours.

Two hours later, in the new world, on a certain island.

A pirate hurriedly ran from the port to the opposite shore.

Here, a boat of moderate size was already moored, and in front of the boat, a burly man sat on the railing, holding a naginata in one hand and a sake bottle in the other, taking sips every now and then.

And he was Edward Newgate, one of the executives of the Rocks Pirates, known in the future as Whitebeard.

Clearly, his objective was also clear: to attack the member states of the World Government under Rocks' orders. However, upon noticing the unusual situation at the port, Whitebeard sent someone to investigate.

"Captain Edward, Captain Edward!!!"

The pirate who had returned from the port leaped onto the ship and arrived breathlessly in front of Whitebeard.

The white-bearded man glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, continued pouring wine into his mouth, and then calmly asked, "What's going on?"

"Yes...yes..."

Seeing his slurred speech, the white-bearded man said calmly, "Wait until you're breathing properly before you speak."

A moment later, the pirate quickly said, "Captain Edward, I've found out what you asked me to find out. The reason the port is so grand is because the Celestial Dragons are coming to visit."

····

"Celestial Dragons? Who from the Navy came along?" Whitebeard asked casually.

"I knew you'd ask that. None of the civilians knew, but I kidnapped someone in the country who had influence and found out that the escort this time was a Marine Vice Admiral named Monkey Garp," the pirate said slowly.

"Not good!"

Whitebeard's expression turned slightly grim as he spoke. Yes, Garp's arrival had left them with no chance to attack the country.

Otherwise, another difficult battle would unfold, and he didn't want to cause any more unnecessary casualties.

 …

After all, the Rocks Pirates haven't recovered from the last battle at Marine Headquarters.

Of course, they had another option: to stay here and wait for Garp to leave. However, that would be a waste of time.

Who knows when the Celestial Dragons will leave?

"Captain Edward, should we look for an opportunity? The Celestial Dragon who came this time is Bernard Is, who was in the newspapers last time, chasing after Lord Shiki and Lady Charlotte Linlin."

"If we can kill this Celestial Dragon here, Captain Rocks will be very happy," the pirate said softly.

"Bernard Is???"

Upon hearing this, Whitebeard's eyes flashed, and he became somewhat interested. He really wanted to see what this so-called Celestial Dragon family was like.

"As for the pursuit, Shiki and the others already said it's just hype from the World Government," Whitebeard warned, telling him not to speak carelessly or he might get killed.

"Yes Yes Yes!!"

"You all wait here, I'll go and take a look myself."

Whitebeard left a message, then leaped off the ship.

Now he's going to look for an opportunity, to find the answer he wants.

Here's the third update since the book's release. Those who have been waiting for more chapters can give me their own rating. The results were a bit poor... but the update schedule remains the same, a minimum of seven chapters today. Thank you, dear readers.

Chapter 64

On the World Government's ship, Is didn't do anything. He carried a rocking chair to the bow, lay down, looked at the scenery, felt the sea breeze, and enjoyed snacks and drinks.

Of course, it wasn't just Is; Acnologia did the same, and the two of them would exchange a few words from time to time.

Tornado, on the other hand, does have something serious to do; she's learning culinary skills from Rhodes Minian.

As for Madara Uchiha, he and Garp became friends after a fight. The two were drinking and talking about something.

Time flies, and soon the ship will reach its destination.

At this moment, a long red carpet was laid out on the port, and at the end of the red carpet, the island's king and queen had been waiting for a long time.

The area around the red carpet was filled with people, some of whom were ordinary citizens, while others were nobles of distinguished status.

But they all had the same goal: to meet the world's most elite nobles, the Celestial Dragons.

After all, some Celestial Dragons are people that ordinary people will never see in their entire lives and can only learn about from others.

As the World Government's ships drew closer to the port, the crowd began to cheer.

Meanwhile, Is and Acnologia stood at the bow of the ship, looking down at the port ahead.

"Is that...that one standing in the very center the legendary Celestial Dragon, one of the world's top nobles?" a noble member of the crowd asked.

“Isn’t that obvious? Just by his aura, I can already tell that he is one of the world’s top nobles,” another noble from the common people retorted.

“So…so handsome. If I could, I would spend ten years of my life to have him say a word to me. No, I would even spend twenty years.” A noblewoman, probably in her early twenties and dressed in luxury goods from head to toe, said.

"Stop dreaming! You don't even know your own worth. If he could marry me, I'd be perfectly content even if I only lived for another year." Another noblewoman also started to swoon.

However, to be honest, Is is really good-looking, with a tall and slender figure, fair skin, and striking eyebrows and bright eyes.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're older than me and not as pretty as me, how dare you say that?"

"Tch, you flat-chested girl, all you can do is use your age as an excuse." As she spoke, she straightened her back, instantly revealing her curvaceous figure.

While they were still arguing, the crowd shouted loudly again.

Looking around, it turned out to be Is and his group disembarking from the ship.

“Great Lord Bernard Is, welcome.” The King and Queen bowed deeply to Is, kneeling on one knee in a gentlemanly gesture.

As soon as the king uttered these words, all the guards behind him knelt down, followed by the entire populace.

“Great Lord Bernard Issa, welcome.”

"If there is anything I can do to help you, please ask, Lord Bernard Issa," the king continued.

"No need, I'm just browsing around."

"I understand, Lord Bernard Issain!"

····

Is did not refuse the king's warm hospitality.

After enjoying a sumptuous meal, Is headed toward the coordinates for digging.

Madara Uchiha and the others originally wanted to follow, but Is said it wasn't necessary and told them to do what they wanted.

Standing at the highest point of the palace, after confirming his direction, Is appeared with a pair of fiery wings on his hands. With the flapping of his wings, he took to the air.

Then, it flew away at a very high speed.

About ten minutes later, Is successfully arrived at the coordinates.

However, the next second, Is was stunned. Yes, because this time, unlike before, the ground was not emitting a blue light, but a yellow light.

"What's going on? The color of the ground has changed after excavation? Could it be... that this is a special excavation?" Is muttered to himself.

After hesitating for several seconds, he stopped thinking about it and figured he'd find out by digging. Just like before, he looked around and, finding no one nearby, a shovel appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Without the slightest hesitation, he scooped it up.

"boom!"

With a crisp sound, the yellow-glowing ground instantly crumbled, like fluffy white cotton candy hitting water.

The next second, Ish heard a mechanical voice in his ear.
