As for Garp, who was in midair, his eyes lit up when he saw the wooden giant Roy had created.
He praised, “Roy, you really keep surprising this old man!”
Such a huge wooden figure was probably even taller than Sengoku’s Great Buddha form, wasn’t it?
And Garp even felt that Roy seemed to still have strength left.
It was as if this wooden figure could become even larger.
At that moment, Roy controlled the Wood Human and charged toward Garp’s direction.
Every step it took as it stomped against the ground released a tremendous boom.
The earth trembled violently, as if an earthquake had erupted.
After using the Wood Human to approach Garp, Roy directly controlled it to swing its right fist toward Garp, who was stepping on the air with Moonwalk in midair.
The fist smashed down like a falling meteor!
“Hahahahaha!
Interesting.
You actually made this old man feel a trace of pressure!”
Facing the wooden iron fist smashing toward him, Garp also swung his right fist, which was covered in Armament Haki.
Boom!
When the two fists collided, a deafening explosion erupted.
A surging wave of air swept outward, lifting sand and stones into the air like a sandstorm.
The thunderous roar made everyone’s eardrums ring.
After the exchange of fists, Roy’s wooden giant’s right fist began to collapse and disintegrate.
This was the difference between possessing Armament Haki and not possessing Armament Haki.
Roy had trained bitterly for ten years, and his attainments in both physical techniques and Wood Release were extremely high.
But no one had taught him Armament Haki or Observation Haki.
In other words, he still had not learned Haki.
Fortunately, Roy’s Wood Release was endlessly regenerating.
The wooden giant’s right arm, which Garp had destroyed, soon grew back again after Roy urged his Wood Release kekkei genkai into motion.
“It can still grow back after being destroyed.
This kind of endless recovery ability really is a bit abnormal!”
Roy did not answer Garp’s evaluation.
Instead, he placed his right hand on the Wood Human’s shoulder.
“Wood Dragon Jutsu!!”
As the Wood Release kekkei genkai activated once again, a massive wooden dragon coiled around the Wood Human’s body.
Roy was preparing to use both the Wood Dragon Jutsu!
and the Wood Human to attack Garp at the same time!
“A dragon.
It’s actually a dragon!”
Looking at the Wood Dragon Jutsu!, Commander Ryan immediately thought of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors.
He could also be considered an old Marine from Headquarters and had once served in the New World.
Back then, in the New World, he had seen Kaido transform into a giant dragon and attack the Marines.
That scene had left a huge shadow in his heart.
Because of that, when Ryan saw Roy create a Wood Dragon Jutsu!, his pupils shrank slightly.
“Hahaha!
I knew you should still have other methods, kid.
With this Wood Dragon Jutsu!
coiled around the Wood Human, your combat power has indeed increased quite a bit!”
Garp praised him with admiration once again.
“Come on.
Let this old man see the strength of your Wood Human plus Wood Dragon Jutsu!!”
Garp excitedly stepped on the air with Moonwalk, charged toward the Wood Human and Wood Dragon Jutsu!, then raised his iron fist.
Facing Garp, who was charging toward him, Roy also fully urged the Wood Human and Wood Dragon Jutsu!
into battle.
Garp used Moonwalk to leap back and forth through the air, dodging the attacks of the wooden fists.
Then he smashed his fist into the dragon’s head, directly shattering it apart.
But in the next second, the dragon’s head instantly recovered at high speed.
It continued biting and coiling toward Garp!
Moreover, the dense forest created by Deep Forest Emergence below was also strangling its way toward Garp.
“What a troublesome Devil Fruit ability… But if this old man simply gives up attacking your Wood Human and Wood Dragon Jutsu! Find the original chapter at g.com.
directly, can your main body withstand my attack?”
Garp frowned, then directly rushed toward Roy, who was standing on the Wood Human’s shoulder.
Facing Garp as he charged toward him, Roy did not choose to clash head-on with him in physical combat.
Instead, he activated his Wood Release ability once more.
One wooden Rashōmon gate after another formed in front of Roy, blocking Garp’s offensive!
Time passed, minute by minute, second by second…
This sparring battle between Roy and Garp lasted for a full three hours.
In the end, after Garp smashed Wood Release: Four-Pillar Prison apart with one punch, both of them tacitly stopped at the same time.
“I already knew you were strong, Vice Admiral Garp, but only after fighting you did I clearly realize that your strength can truly be called monstrous.”
Roy canceled the Wood Human Technique and the Wood Dragon Jutsu!
Technique, then jumped back down to the ground.
Facing this Marine Hero directly, Roy was very clear about how powerful the other party was.
The current him was still not Garp’s match.
“Ahahahaha!
If only all young people these days liked being humble as much as you do!
Your strength also surprised this old man, Roy.
You still have plenty of strength left, don’t you?
If this were a life-and-death battle, the two of us could absolutely fight for a full day and night!”
Garp gave Roy’s strength extremely high praise.
“With your current strength, if you were placed in the Marines, you would at least be an elite vice admiral of headquarters.
If you knew Armament Haki and Observation Haki, then even becoming an admiral candidate wouldn’t be a problem!”
“To have this kind of strength at only fifteen or sixteen years old, Roy, you really are a little monster!”
Garp sighed in admiration once again.
His evaluation proved that Roy currently had the qualifications to compete for the level of a prospective admiral.
Unfortunately, he simply did not know Armament Haki or Observation Haki.
Otherwise, he would definitely be a proper admiral candidate.
Although there was certainly still a gap between him and a true Marine admiral…
That gap was no longer especially far.
