Garp's Observation Haki had already detected the Celestial Dragons' presence, but he still chose to attack without holding back.
Because he knew that it was perfectly normal for a Celestial Dragon to die when facing an enemy with the strength to kill a Marine Admiral.
Even if the Five Elders noticed something fishy, they couldn't do anything about it.
Everyone says Garp is stupid, but those who know him will think he is a man who is rough around the edges but actually quite shrewd.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take Ace, the son of the Pirate King, away from the search by the Navy and the World Government, and raise him to adulthood.
Although he couldn't possibly have as many ideas as Sengoku, he was still able to preserve himself even after his son betrayed the Navy and his grandson became a pirate.
Is it really just because of his strength?
Obviously not.
He relied on his connections and reputation within the Navy.
If the Five Elders want to take action against Garp, they must accept the consequence of severely weakening the Navy.
However, this is an unwise choice for the World Government, which wants to maintain a balance between the Navy, pirates, and the Revolutionary Army.
That's why the Five Elders didn't restrict Garp and let him run wild.
If it weren't for his considerable strength, they would have already sent someone to assassinate him and pin the crime on the Four Emperors.
They secretly wished that Garp, this unsettling element, would disappear so that they could better control the Navy.
On the surface, the reason why the Five Elders sent the Marine Admirals to protect the Celestial Dragons was not because the Celestial Dragons were particularly important.
There are only a few dozen truly important Celestial Dragons like you.
The reason they pay so much attention to protecting ordinary Celestial Dragons is simply to create the impression that "gods" are inviolable, making the Celestial Dragons' rule over the world more justifiable.
Although Garp was not a Celestial Dragon, he noticed the Five Elders' actions and knew that killing a few unimportant Celestial Dragons was no big deal.
So Garp wasn't stupid; in fact, he was very shrewd.
He may have been an innocent young man in the past, but he served as a politician in the Navy for decades.
Even if he's a blockhead, he should have learned some of the scheming and tactics that politicians should have.
His grandson beat up a Celestial Dragon, so he killed the Celestial Dragon.
Then they pinned the blame for the Celestial Dragons' deaths on Lu Renjia.
This would not only mitigate the crimes committed by Luffy, keeping him out of the World Government's sight, but also give him a safer path as a pirate.
Suddenly, Garp's eyes flashed red, and he activated his Observation Haki, sensing the situation within the smoke and dust.
"How is this possible? I didn't hold back at all with that punch!" He was shocked as he sensed the situation within the smoke and dust.
A gentle breeze swept by, and the last of the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing a patch of land untouched by the storm.
Then Lu Renjia's figure appeared in his eyes, and there was no damage within a ten-meter radius of him.
Lu Renjia waved his hand to disperse the dust in front of him, staring at Kap with an unfriendly gaze: "It really doesn't feel good, you got me all covered in dust."
He had already decided to kill Garp.
Lu Renjia had heard everything he was thinking.
Wanting to make himself his scapegoat, that's a really good idea.
As expected, Garp treats his biological grandson and his adopted grandson very differently.
Moreover, Lu Renjia didn't really like Garp when he watched the One Piece anime.
Because it's too hypocritical.
His grandson is a matter of life and death, but aren't the lives of ordinary sailors also a matter of life and death?
He has family ties. Are all the families of those ordinary navy men dead?
Compared to the angels in the Super God world, Garp is actually a more hypocritical person.
Lu Renjia found this extremely disgusting.
Since he wanted to kill me, he made me take the blame for him.
Well, sorry, but you're the one who deserves to die!
Lu Renjia had no intention of playing along with Kapu. Kapu had gotten involved in a lot of trouble since he first arrived in this world, which made Lu Renjia very unhappy.
Karp's gaze met Lu Renjia's, and his heart suddenly tightened.
The next moment, Lu Renjia appeared in front of him as if he had teleported.
His pupils contracted sharply, and even with his Observation Haki activated to its maximum, he could only catch a faint trace.
"How is this possible! This speed is even faster than Kizaru's!"
Shocked, he immediately unleashed his ultimate Armament Haki, covering his body.
He was unable to retaliate or dodge; he could only take the punch head-on.
Lu Renjia swung his right fist and punched straight at Garp's face.
Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, and the force of the fists was like a torrential rain of ink, from which a giant black dragon roared out.
This was the scene in Garp's eyes: a huge word for death appeared above his head.
"How is that possible? He's just a young man in his early twenties, how could he possibly have such strength!"
He was deeply shocked, and felt a strong sense of death as he faced the punch before him.
If hit, there is little chance of survival!
"Move! Get moving, you old man!!!"
Karp tried to move to the side, but found that his legs were rooted to the spot and he couldn't move an inch.
At the critical moment, a white shadow knocked Garp away.
Boom!!!
The fist sliced through the air, emitting a shrill whistle that seemed to tear the sky apart, and in an instant, it resounded throughout the Sabaody Archipelago like a great bell.
A punch was delivered, and a blinding light suddenly burst forth, like a small sun appearing out of thin air on the earth.
Even on the ground, the light was more dazzling than when Garp unleashed his punch in the air.
Under the light, everything along the way was as fragile as tofu.
Countless boulders were sent flying, hurtling in all directions, each carrying enough force to destroy everything.
Wherever it passed, the air was compressed and crackled and popped.
The fist energy, like a tangible surging wave, swept wildly outwards in a ring around Lu Renjia.
Those thick, towering trees seemed to have been uprooted by an invisible giant hand, their branches and leaves torn to shreds in the gale, turning into a sky full of wood chips.
The trees that were blown away flew through the air like cannonballs, tracing arcs before crashing heavily to the ground in the distance, raising clouds of dust.
The earth, too, seemed unable to withstand this terrifying force and began to shake violently.
In an instant, cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, as if telling the story of the destruction and shock brought by this punch.
The naval warships and pirate ships not far from the Sabaody Archipelago were instantly annihilated by this punch.
The power of a single punch is like the collapse of the heavens and the cracking of the earth, enough to make all things in the world tremble in its presence.
The area tens of meters in front of Lu Renjia's fist was empty, except for the ground that had been plowed into deep furrows.
He glanced at Garp, who had been knocked away, then turned to look at Aokiji, who was emanating a chilling aura not far away.
If he hadn't intervened, Garp would have died from that punch.
Aokiji, now under scrutiny, was terrified and finally understood why Kizaru hadn't escaped.
Just a glance from him made his body feel much heavier, as if he were from a completely different dimension.
Garp broke free from the ice's restraints, his expression grave.
I thought it would be an easy task, but it turned out to be a life-threatening mission.
Lu Renjia's already limited patience was almost exhausted, and he originally did not want to interfere too much in the affairs of this world.
But they wouldn't let it go, so I just told them to go die.
He sighed, slightly annoyed, and said, "Since you're all so eager to die, I'll grant your wish."
Before they could even set off, Garp suddenly roared, "Kuzan, run!"
