"Buzz—"
The powerful domineering aura surged out, and the figures of Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Garp fell rapidly from the air to the ground.
The moment their feet touched the ground, terrifying power was transmitted directly into the earth. The hard red rock was instantly crushed by the two men, and a vigorous air wave swept in all directions.
After a few simple encounters, Ji Guoyuanyi had a clear understanding of Garp's power.
It is not known whether the power displayed by Garp now is his full strength. Judging from the power displayed by the opponent so far, it is probably higher than Kaido and BIG MOM.
Although the gap between Garp and those people is not too big, even if he is stronger than those two people, he is not much stronger.
But this is enough to explain many problems.
Neither Kaido nor Charlotte Linlin can be viewed from the perspective of ordinary humans.
One of those two people was a person who had eaten a mythical beast-type devil fruit; and the other was able to crush giants when he was young and was called a "natural destroyer."
For someone like Garp to be able to reach this level with a mortal body speaks volumes. Furthermore, Garp, who was now engaged in battle with Yoriichi Tsugakuni, was no longer at his peak, his strength having declined compared to his youth.
"My fists have really weakened a lot!"
In just a few rounds of fighting, Garp did not gain any advantage over Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Not only did he fail to gain any advantage, but he was repeatedly at a disadvantage in several confrontations.
Garp fell back to the ground, clenched his fists, and muttered to himself with some dissatisfaction.
He had expected Yoshiichi Tsugikuni to be powerful, but the aging of his own body was far faster than Garp had anticipated. Since Roger's death, Garp hadn't used his full strength in many years, and only now could he deeply feel the ravages of time on him.
"Mr. Karp, now that you're older, you shouldn't be fighting on the front lines like you did when you were younger."
"At your age, it's time to retire."
While talking to Garp, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni also took a look at the battlefield between Kuma and Mihawk.
There is no need to worry about Mihawk at all. Although Brusalino possesses the powerful natural-type Pika-Pika no Mi, his sword skills and domineering aura are still a little behind Mihawk. Even if he uses his full strength, Brusalino will not be able to defeat Mihawk.
What's more, Ji Guoyuan could see that Borsalino was not fighting Mihawk with all his heart. He was gradually suppressed by Mihawk, and now he was only relying on the power of the Pika Pika Nomi to hold Mihawk back.
As for the bear, the power displayed by Kong Ganggu was so strong that even Yuichiro Tsugakuin could not understand it. The domineering aura released by the opponent during the attack was not terrifying. Although it was enough to suppress the bear, Kong Ganggu relied on the power he displayed now and it was impossible for him to do anything to the bear in a short time.
Xiong is also very smart. He did not blindly choose to confront the "ordinary" Kong head-on. Instead, he took advantage of the convenience of the Meatball Fruit to move around on the battlefield and dodge Kong's attacks.
Steel Bone Kong, who had actively chosen the bear as his target of attack, had no intention of changing his tactics and was actually playing "Eagle Catches Chicken" with the bear.
Both the Naval Headquarters and the New Navy are stalling for time.
Upon realizing this, Ji Guoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the long sword in his hand danced lightly. The black blade was suddenly wrapped in golden flames.
The bear was stalling for time, waiting for him to defeat his opponent and free up his hands to help others.
As for Borsalino, he's probably waiting for reinforcements from the Marine Headquarters.
You can't really be paddling, right?
"Devil Fruit power?"
"Boy, you've gone astray."
"Whether it's your new navy or your own growth, you've chosen the wrong direction."
"Heroic power, only Heroic power can transcend all powers."
Garp noticed the golden flames igniting from Tsugokuni Yoshiichi's long sword and returned his attention to him, teaching him a lesson like an elder. As he spoke, the domineering aura condensed in Garp's fists intensified. Only then could Garp truly be described as "sparing no effort."
"Vice Admiral Garp, please don't make any mistake."
"Devil Fruits are just auxiliary abilities to me!"
Ji Guoyuan held the knife in one hand and held it upright in front of him. As soon as he finished speaking, he took the initiative to attack for the first time. His figure suddenly turned into a stream of light and shot towards Garp.
Garp only felt a flash of golden light in his eyes, and Ji Guoyuanying's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and the long sword in his hand also slashed towards Garp's shoulder.
Facing Garp, although Yoriichi Tsugakuni repeatedly told himself in his heart that he didn't need to hold back, when the moment came to actually draw his sword, his body unconsciously moved the sword to avoid the opponent's vital points.
"whispering sound--"
"Are you giving in to an old man like me? Or are you just hesitating?"
Garp didn't sense any killing intent from Tsugakugo Yoriichi's attack. Instead, he frowned, and while he blocked it with his fist, he also asked Tsugakugo Yoriichi with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"clang--"
The blade collided with Garp's fist, making a crisp golden sound. A slight pain came from the fist, which made Garp's face show some surprise.
Before Garp could react, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi in front of him suddenly changed his moves. While quickly putting away his sword, he turned half around and kicked Garp directly in the chest. The attack was so fast that Garp had no time to react.
"Bang!" He was kicked hard in the chest by Ji Guoyuan. Even though Garp used the armed color domineering to protect his chest at the time, he still felt severe pain in his chest.
After being kicked more than ten meters away, Karp rolled on the ground several times before he managed to steady himself. He half-squatted on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed with dust all over his body.
"Hesitating?!"
"How is that possible?"
Jiguo Yuanyi stood with a knife in his hand, looking at Garp in the distance and shook his head.
Half-crouching on the ground, Karp rubbed his chest with his hand. When he looked down, he suddenly found that the back of his hand was already bleeding. A long knife wound appeared on the back of his right hand. Although the knife wound was not deep, venous blood continued to flow out of the wound.
"This is."
The smell of blood rushed into his nose, and Garp was stunned when he noticed the wound on the back of his hand. He had indeed used his hands to block Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's attack just now, but his iron fists had never suffered such damage in battle.
The Armament Haki concentrated on the fist was broken by Tsugikuni Yoriichi's slash? !
Realizing this, Garp's expression became gloomy, and his eyes were full of complicated emotions when he looked at Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Talented. Truly gifted.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi's arrogance is even greater than his own.
He, Garp, has long been one of the strongest people in the world, but Tsugakuni Yoriichi's domineering aura is so strong that it can break through his defense head-on.
In a sense, Yoriichi Tsugikuni is no longer a strong man of the same level as him.
"Mr. Karp, I think there is nothing in this world that I cannot cut."
Yoshiichi Tsugikuni's words are a double entendre. On the surface, he seems to be saying that Garp's iron fist is no match for him; but the other meaning of his words is that he is implying that the New Navy can cut off the corrupt World Government.
Garp heard the hidden meaning in Tsugikuni Yoriichi's words, but remained silent. The flesh on the back of Garp's hand began to move slightly, and the blood flowed immediately stopped.
Garp stretched his shoulders and neck, and when he looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi again, a bright smile appeared on his face:
"Then prove it to me!"
As Garp spoke, he suddenly kicked the ground with his strong legs and rushed directly towards Tsugikuni Yoriichi. His figure approached rapidly. Yoriichi, who was standing in place, suddenly lowered his body and turned to avoid. At the same time, a strong gust of wind quickly passed over him.
Garp appeared in front of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, maintaining a punching posture.
Garp lowered his head slightly and looked at Yoriichi Tsugikuni who looked up at this time. Yoriichi straightened his body and stabbed Garp directly with the long sword in his hand.
"laugh--"
The bodies of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi and Garp were pressed together, and the sharp blade directly pierced Garp's lower abdomen, and the bloody tip of the blade came out from Garp's back.
This sudden scene made Major General Roca, who was watching the game on the sidelines, change his expression suddenly. He opened his mouth slightly and looked at Garp and Ji Guoyuan in shock.
"Mr. Garp, your fighting skills are really full of flaws—"
Yoriichi Tsugakuni whispered something in Garp's ear, and when he was about to draw out, the seriously injured Garp grinned, and his big hands firmly embraced Yoriichi Tsugakuni's body, completely ignoring his own injuries, and held Yoriichi Tsugakuni's body tightly with his hands.
"I've known about this kind of thing for a long time."
Blood flowed from the corner of Garp's mouth. The damage to his internal organs also weakened his breath a lot, but Garp didn't care about it. He hugged Tsugikuni Yoriichi tightly and didn't give Yoriichi any chance to break free.
"I'm well aware of your abilities."
"With my aging body, I'm no match for you."
"hehe."
"But it doesn't matter, because my purpose in coming here is not to defeat you, as long as I can bring you back to the Marine Headquarters."
Garp's domineering aura surged, and Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, who was bound by the huge force, frowned. When he tried to break free, he felt a breath rapidly approaching the position where he and Garp were.
He glanced sideways in the direction where the breath came from, and found that the old and frail Major General Roca quickly entered the battlefield and ran towards Tsugikuni Yoshiichi.
“!!!”
"Desolo, Abel, stop that old navy man."
Yixiao, who was on the sidelines, also noticed Major General Roca who had quickly joined the battlefield. He immediately warned Desolo and Abel beside him, and he also quickly stretched out his left hand and pointed his sword in the direction of Major General Roca:
"Gravity Command!"
The ground beneath Major General Roca's feet quickly crumbled, and countless rocks floated up and flew directly towards the location where Major General Roca was.
Just as Yixiao's attack was about to hit Major General Roca's body, Ganggukong, who had been "playing" with the bear, suddenly turned around and threw a punch directly in the direction of Major General Roca from a distance of a hundred meters. The powerful punch hit the floating stones in an instant, smashing the hard red rocks into powder.
“?!”
Yixiao was shocked and didn't care about Ganggukong at this time. He mobilized gravity again, peeled off the stones from the ground, and attacked Major General Roca.
Abel and Desolo followed Yixiao's order and attacked Major General Roca directly.
Desolo threw the golden ring on his finger. Under his ability, the golden ring turned into countless golden needles in the air, flying up and down towards Roca in the distance.
However, Abel spread his wings and directly used the power of his devil fruit. At the same time, the flames behind him also burned fiercely. His figure turned into a red stream of light in the air and attacked directly towards Major General Roca.
But Abel seems to have forgotten
Roca is not the kind of soldier who can be easily manipulated.
Abel's figure rushed directly into Major General Roca's territory.
While dodging Yixiao's attack, Loka was moving quickly towards Ji Guoyuan when he noticed Abel's unusual movement. He did not make any defensive moves, but just turned his head slightly to glance at the rapidly attacking Abel. Abel in the air suddenly lost power and fell rapidly from the air.
"boom!!!"
Abel's body fell to the ground behind Major General Roca. He was actually deprived of his six senses. His brain lost control of his body and he could no longer move.
At the same time, Major General Roca finally extended his domain to cover Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Garp.
"It's over, Yoriichi!"
With blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, Garp smiled brightly when he saw Major General Roca approaching rapidly.
Just as Roca's domain was about to cover Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's body, Roca, who was moving forward rapidly, seemed to sense some danger. He suddenly stopped and jumped back in an instant.
And just as Major General Loka jumped back to dodge, a green slash came directly from hundreds of meters away, plowing through the ground in front of Loka, leaving a bottomless and terrifying knife mark.
Mihawk
"That bastard Borsalino"
The one who used a slash to force back Major General Roca was none other than Mihawk, who was fighting fiercely with Borsalino. I'm afraid no one could have imagined that Mihawk could observe other places on the battlefield while fighting with the admiral of the navy, and even had enough energy to draw his sword to ease the crisis of his companions.
Glancing at Major General Loka who was forced to retreat not far away, Garp couldn't help but twitch his eyes slightly.
"Major General Roca seems to have some surefire way to win?!"
"The user of the Listening Fruit, do you have any other abilities that I can't imagine?!"
Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, who was firmly restrained by Garp, glanced sideways slightly, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Abel lying motionless on the ground in the distance.
Abel's body was still breathing instinctively and he was not dead, but the strange thing was that after being "knocked down", this guy could never stand up again, just like the other navy men.
Based on the movements of Garp, Major General Roca and others, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi guessed that Major General Roca might have some kind of "rule-based" ability.
This ability can not only affect ordinary new navy, but can even affect domineering and powerful vice-emperor-level strongmen like Abel.
Looking at Karp's face full of regret.
Perhaps Major General Roca's ability could even affect him?!
Thinking of this, golden flames "seeped" out of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's skin. After the golden flames appeared, they directly stained Garp's body, rapidly dissolving Garp's domineering aura.
Under the burning of the golden flames, Garp's protective domineering aura was broken and the flames stained his skin.
There was no pain coming from his body, but Cap could feel that his muscles were rapidly melting under the burning of the golden flames.
"Mr. Karp, if you don't let go, you'll die!"
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi looked calmly at Garp in front of him and warned softly.
"Death?"
"It doesn't matter. I told you that my purpose in coming here this time is to bring you back."
