At the center of the deserted island was a stretch of barren land.
Roy chose this place to conduct his real-combat sparring session with Garp.
“Vice Admiral Garp, I’m going to start attacking.”
As Roy spoke, he stretched out his right hand and aimed it at Garp, his expression calm and without the slightest ripple.
“Come on!
Hahaha!
Don’t hold back.
Use everything you’ve got!”
Garp said with confidence and heroic spirit.
“Mm.
If I were facing someone else, I might not use my full strength.
But against a top-tier combat force like you, I should give it everything I have!”
Roy knew just how powerful Garp was.
He was one of the peak combat forces of the One Piece world.
“Wood Release: Piercing Cone!”
As Roy spoke, he activated the Wood Release kekkei genkai and fired ten wooden cones from his palm in succession!
The wooden cones shot out with lightning speed, directly breaking through the sound barrier!
Even the air twisted and trembled!
“Good!”
Facing the incoming wooden cones, Garp covered his right fist with Armament Haki, then threw punch after punch.
All of the wooden cones that shot toward him were shattered by his iron fists!
Commander Ryan stood on the branch of a large tree, watching the battle as he sighed with emotion.
“Those wooden cones can pierce through trees several meters thick, yet he dealt with them so easily with his fists.
As expected of Vice Admiral Garp.”
Beneath the large tree, the other Marine soldiers also nodded in agreement, deeply convinced.
…
“Roy, use your other moves as well.
Haha!”
After blocking the wooden cones with his fists, Garp raised his foot, stepped forward, and charged toward Roy with his fist lifted.
Roy remained expressionless.
He half-crouched, pressed his hand against the ground, then urged his kekkei genkai into motion and activated Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!
As his stamina was rapidly consumed, Deep Forest Emergence activated.
A forest spreading rapidly with Roy at its center began to take shape at high speed!
Not far away, Commander Ryan saw Roy activate Deep Forest Emergence and inwardly cried out that this was bad.
Sure enough, in that instant, trees like winding giant dragons burst out of the ground.
The momentum was vast and terrifying, enough to make one’s heart tremble!
Commander Ryan immediately issued an order, telling the Marine soldiers below to evacuate.
“Retreat quickly!
It’s that move that can summon a forest again!”
“Run!
If that spreading forest catches up to us, we’re finished!”
When the soldiers beneath the tree saw Roy use this move, they panicked and turned to flee.
…
“Before, I only watched it from a distance.
Now that you’re using this move against me, this old man can clearly feel just how remarkable it is.
The offense and defense of the trees you created are actually controlled by you, as if they’ve come alive!”
“But these trees alone can’t bind this old man.
Haha!”
As Garp spoke, he used Moonwalk from the Marine Six Powers, stepping on the air and rising into the sky.
The Marine Six Powers consisted of Moonwalk, Finger Pistol, Tempest Kick, Shave, Iron Body, and Paper Art.
Every technique was both practical and powerful.
“Mm?
You’re actually controlling the trees to keep growing taller until they reach the same height as my Moonwalk!?”
Looking at the trees that had suddenly surged to several dozen meters tall and were rushing wildly toward him, Garp’s eyelids twitched.
These trees can be destroyed by this old man with one punch!”
Garp stepped with Moonwalk and paused in midair, then threw a punch downward.
The fist he swung compressed the air, forming a massive air fist imprint that directly crashed into the trees stretching up from below.
Six Powers extension technique—Finger Pistol: Flying Fist Cannon!!!
Boom!
A thunderous explosion rang out!
Under the impact of the air fist imprint, the trees below collapsed and snapped apart with a crash.
A massive fist-shaped crater also appeared on the ground.
In the forest, Roy watched as Garp destroyed a huge stretch of the forest he had created with a single punch.
He immediately understood that Deep Forest Emergence did not place much restriction on Garp.
After all, this was a man who could casually warm up by smashing eight mountains apart with his bare hands!
Roy once again used the technique he had developed and trained—Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!
As Wood Release: Wood Human Technique activated, a huge wooden figure grew and rose before Roy, instantly becoming several dozen meters tall.
Several dozen meters was not the limit of the Wood Human Technique, but the larger the Wood Human became, the more stamina it consumed.
At its current size of several dozen meters, Roy could control it for a very long time.
It was comparable to the giant race—even taller than ordinary giants.
The pressure it gave others was absolutely enormous.
That oppressive feeling of blotting out the sky was enough to make people shudder!
“He actually created a wooden giant out of thin air.
This Roy really is terrifying!
His strength is simply like that of a monster!”
While leading his subordinates in retreat, Commander Ryan did not forget to glance back at the battle from time to time.
After seeing Roy summon the enormous wooden giant, his evaluation of Roy’s strength was startled.
rising by several levels again.
The fear in his heart deepened even further.
When did a monster like this appear in a place like East Blue?
