"Very sharp!"
The speed with which Tsugikuni Yoriichi and the others dodged was enough to make Major General Roca gasp in amazement. He was confident in his own abilities, and he knew that Tsugikuni Yoriichi hadn't dodged simply because he had "seen" his abilities.
Instead, he relied on his natural intuition about danger.
"It seems that it is impossible to capture Tsugikoku Yoshiichi without a fierce battle."
"Captain, I'll leave everything up to you two."
Major General Roca slowly lowered his clasped hands, the smile on his face faded, and he spoke to Cyborg Sora and Garp.
Major General Roca was one of the strongest men in the previous era of the Marine Headquarters. Like most of the Marine generals, in addition to possessing powerful devil fruit abilities, his physical abilities were also terrifying.
Although he was unable to awaken the Conqueror's Haki, the strength of his three-color Haki is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
However, no matter how glorious and powerful he had been in his youth, he was no match for the ravages of time. The decay of the flesh was far faster than the decay of the Devil Fruit's power. Now, Major General Roca could no longer rely on physical skills to fight against a formidable force like Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Major General Roca was very clear about this, and the other veteran sailors were naturally aware of it as well.
There is actually a reason why it was these four people who attacked the Starting Island.
"Ah, of course."
"Just wait for your chance!"
Karp had already prepared himself mentally, and when he heard this, he had already made up his mind and knew exactly what to do next.
As he spoke, Garp clenched his fists, and a terrifying domineering aura quickly spread out from him to the surroundings. Black lightning appeared out of thin air in the space around his fists, and dense black thunder made bursts of light sounds.
The terrifying domineering aura that spread out formed a hurricane, raising the dust on the ground and rushing towards Ji Guoyuan and others.
Garp, known as the hero of the navy, has a terrifying aura, which makes cadres like Desolo, who see Garp for the first time, secretly frightened.
"Is this the man known as the Navy Hero?!"
"This old man is so strong!"
Desolo narrowed his eyes slightly, his face trembling slightly. Unlike Yixiao and the others, Desolo's knowledge was not as extensive as others. Garp's terrifying aura shocked him much more than it did others.
“.”
Tsugakuni Yoriichi also looked solemnly at Garp, who was releasing a terrifying aura. Garp brought an unusually heavy sense of oppression to Tsugakuni Yoriichi, a feeling not even the Five Elders had ever given him.
This anonymous Garp with a "D" in his name is undoubtedly one of the strongest people in the world today.
"Little devil, even if I have to break your arms and legs, I will still take you back."
Garp's violent aura suddenly subsided, he raised his head slightly, and his tiger eyes stared directly at Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
“Here I come!”
Ji Guoyuanyi said in his heart, holding the long sword in his hand straight, more serious than ever before.
“Bang—”
The next moment, a violent sonic boom sounded in the air, and Karp's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a deep pit.
Yuanyi's eyes widened slightly, and Garp's fierce iron fist was reflected in his pupils.
Fist bone collision!
It was just an ordinary punch, but it made the hairs on Tsuchikuni Yoshiichi's body stand on end. He let out a breath and his face completely regained its calm.
Breathing of the Sun——Type 7——Yang Hua Tu!
Ji Guoyuan raised the long sword in his hand and stabbed directly back at Garp's iron fist.
Garp's fist wrapped in black thunder did not dodge and hit the tip of the knife directly. In an instant, a huge force was transmitted towards Yunyi.
When the domineering auras of Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Garp collided with each other, a violent thunder erupted. The aftermath of the mutual impact of the domineering auras formed a strong storm that spread around.
The tip of the knife was against Garp's fist, and Tsugikoku Yoshiichi slowly raised his head and looked at Garp:
"This scene is so familiar."
The scene at this moment made Yoshiichi Tsugumi think of the first time he met Garp in the East China Sea.
At that time, he had just come into this world and had just adapted to his body.
And it was at that time that Garp met him. At that time, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi was in a tragic battlefield, and around him were lying navy soldiers killed by pirates.
When Garp saw Yoriichi Tsugikuni in a sea of corpses and blood, he naturally recognized Yoriichi as the murderer.
I guess Garp at that time had the same idea as Garp now, planning to forcibly bring Yoriichi back to the Marine Headquarters.
At that time, Yoriichi Tsugakuni was knocked unconscious by a single punch from Garp and didn't even have the ability to struggle or resist.
But now
Everything is different now!
“Click—”
The ground under Ji Guoyuan's feet made a slight sound, and the thick rock layer was covered with cracks.
Having fought hard to resist Garp's attack, Jiguoyuan's eyes flashed with a divine light, and his arms suddenly exerted force:
"Mr. Karp, there's no way I'm going back with you."
"You can't take me away from here!"
As he swung the sword, the explosive force was transmitted back to Garp, and he was actually forced back by the force.
After flying back more than ten meters, Karp fell back to the ground and slid back several meters before he could barely keep his footing, but his calves had already fallen completely into the rock layer of the ground.
“!”
It was not until he was forced back by Tsugakuin Yoshiichi that Garp came back to his senses. He lowered his head in surprise and glanced at his feet. After a long time, Garp slowly raised his head and looked at Tsugakuin Yoshiichi in the distance, with an inexplicable look on his face:
"really."
"You little brat are really different from before."
Garp said this as he emerged from the soil. In the blink of an eye, the deep look on his face disappeared without a trace, and turned into a bright face:
"But what of it?"
"There is no way to resist the iron fist of love!"
After saying these meaningless words, Garp suddenly bowed.
Just as Yoshikazu Tsugakuni was preparing to deal with Garp's attack, a dazzling laser flashed out from the edge of the sky.
"ju——"
In an instant, the laser beam came from far away and shot directly towards Tsugakugo Yoriichi's back. However, facing the attack from behind, Tsugakugo Yoriichi did not intend to turn around to resist.
Just when the laser was about to hit Jigoku Yuanyuanyi, a black blade suddenly blocked the back of Jigu Yuanyuan.
“Bang!!!”
The laser did not disappear after hitting the blade. Instead, it was refracted by the blade and hit the ground in the distance, causing a violent explosion.
In the blazing flames, golden light flashed and a human figure condensed on the open space behind Ji Guoyuan.
"Moses Moses—"
"Mr. Mihawk, could you please not get in the way of me doing my work?"
Borsalino appeared on the Island of Origin, with his hands in his suit pockets, and with a long tone, he "greeted" Mihawk who was standing behind Tsugakuin Yoshiichi.
“Bang—”
Today, Yunyi is no longer alone. He already has a group of trustworthy partners. Now he can safely leave his back to Mihawk and concentrate on dealing with Garp, Sora and others.
"Leave it to you, Mihawk!"
After Jiguo Yuanyi hurriedly said something, his figure turned into a shadow and disappeared from the spot. The moment Jiguo Yuanyi disappeared, Garp in the distance also took action. Not only Garp, but also Steel Bone Kong looked around the surrounding environment and his eyes fell on the bear.
"boom!!!"
The moment the figures of Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Garp met in the air, Sora Akechi also attacked boldly, aiming directly at Kuma.
Today, Yoriichi Tsugikuni is superior to Garp in both strength and domineering, but it is not an easy task to defeat Garp in a short time.
This would have been a tough fight for Tsugikoku Yoriichi, as it would have been difficult for him to spare any time to care for his other companions. It was this fact that Sora Kōbō had grasped before choosing to attack Kuma.
Although he was the commander-in-chief of the navy and had long since retired to the second line, since he was asked to come out and be used as a vanguard to deal with this war, he would naturally collect some information about the new navy in advance.
In Sora Aoi's eyes, apart from the three people who need special attention, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, Issho, and Mihawk, the person most likely to have an impact on the battle situation in the new navy is Kuma!
The power of the Meat-Glob Fruit will make this war full of uncertainty, and Sora Aram will naturally not allow such a thing to happen.
The figures of Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Garp met in the air. Under the impact of fists and swords, the younger Yoriichi Tsugakuni gained the upper hand. Under the domineering aura, Garp's figure fell rapidly from the air.
After knocking Garp away with a sword, Yoriichi Tsugakuni also noticed the movements of Sora Aoki and turned his head slightly to look in the direction of Sora Aoki.
"You don't have time to look around!"
It was just a moment of distraction, but it allowed Garp to seize the opportunity. Garp, who had just been knocked away a moment ago, suddenly appeared behind Tsugakugo Haraichi, clasped his fists, and smashed directly at Yoriichi's back.
Facing Garp's attack, Ji Guoyuan didn't even turn his head. He flipped the long sword in his hand lightly and directly blocked the spine on his back.
After a dull thud, Tsugakuni Yoshiichirō's figure was directly knocked down from the air by Garp.
At the same time, Major General Loka, who had been standing still, suddenly moved and ran directly towards the direction where Yuanyi fell. However, halfway through, a golden light glided up and returned to the air.
Garp's figure fell back to the ground. He looked up at Yoriichi Tsugikoku who was holding a long sword and wearing golden wings in the air. He opened his mouth slightly, with a look of regret in his eyes.
This was not the first time he had seen Yoriichi Tsugakuni in this form, but no matter how many times he saw it, Garp could not suppress the regret in his heart.
Yunyi's appearance seemed to be constantly reminding him that this disciple, whom he had high hopes for, was never the person of change chosen by fate.
This also further strengthened Garp's determination to bring Yoshiichi Tsugakuni back to the Marine Headquarters.
Since Tsugikuni Yoriichi's fate is destined to fail.
It would be better not to start from the beginning. Although Yoriichi has done a lot of things over the years, Garp doesn't think that Yoriichi Tsugikuni can change the world.
The continued development of the new navy established by Kuniyoshi is of no value other than causing unrest and instability in the world, as they have no chance of success.
Garp has made up his mind to send Yoriichi Tsugakuni to the hell of Impel Down.
He was not worried that Yoshikazu Tsugakuni would be executed if he was caught by the Marine Headquarters, because he knew the nature of the Celestial Dragons too well.
Although Yoriichi Tsugikuni is not the destined person, his devil fruit ability is terrifying enough. If he dies and his devil fruit ability spreads and is obtained by someone with ulterior motives, it will be enough to cause a storm in this world.
In order to prevent such abilities from continuing to circulate in this world, the World Government will choose to keep Yoriichi Tsugakuni strictly imprisoned, so as to prevent Yoriichi Tsugakuni's devil fruit from being reborn in the outside world.
After a few decades when Ji Guoyuan dies, there will be fewer people in the world who know about this devil fruit, and they will be able to easily recover such a devil fruit.
The way they dealt with the Red Earl who roamed the sea was exactly the same.
It was not until the Red Earl died in prison that the World Government took great pains to recover the powerful and terrifying Devil Fruit from the sea.
Why are powerful Nature-type and Mythical Devil Fruits so rare in this world? The weak abilities of the Parahuman-type Devil Fruits circulating in this world are largely due to the World Government's constant recovery of powerful Devil Fruits from the sea during their 800 years of rule.
Every devil fruit that spreads out from the holy land can be called a "Fruit of God". The Blue Dragon form of the Fish-Fish Fruit and the Meat-Ball Fruit that spread out from the Valley of God in the early years are among the best.
And it was because Garp clearly knew that even if Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was captured, he could attack Tsugakuin Yoshiichi so resolutely.
Just as Yoriichi Tsugakuin and Garp were having a brief fight, Sora Aoi appeared beside the bear. Sora Aoi, who had not taken action for decades, did not exude any dangerous aura. After appearing beside the bear, he casually grabbed the bear's wrist.
His movements were neither hurried nor slow, just like the gesture of old friends holding hands, relaxed and natural.
However, the person involved, Xiong, was tense. He gently slapped his leg with his palm and suddenly disappeared from the spot, making Ganggukong's grab miss.
“Huh?!”
"Is this the ability of the Meatball Fruit? It's really fast!"
"Such a short distance. It's basically teleportation!"
"That's so foul."
A flash of surprise flashed across Ganggukong's face, and he turned his head slightly to look at the bear a few meters away.
At the same time that Cyborg attacked Kuma, Borsalino, who relied on his ability to quickly reach the island, also set his sights on Mihawk.
Borsalino clasped his hands together, and as he slowly opened his hands, a lightsaber quickly condensed between his palms.
This encounter between the Naval Headquarters and the New Navy was also divided into three battlefields with completely different protagonists.
On the Marine Headquarters side, Rear Admiral Roca and Vice Admiral Brugulas seemed to be the ones holding the fort.
As for the New Navy, Yixiao, who used his ability to control the island's floating position, did not act rashly. Abel, Desolo, Koshiro and other generals also did not intervene in the battle.
Are these the only powerful people on the side of the Marine Headquarters and the World Government?
Impossible!
Yixiao and others not only need to support Ji Guoyuan and others, but also need to be on guard against the possible emergence of new strong enemies.
This battle was quite stressful for the new navy.
