On the sea, the Marine ship of Garp continued sailing across the waves.
Meanwhile, Ramon was training on the deck, casually lifting massive weights that normal Marines couldn’t even move.
He glanced toward Bogard and asked,
“Mr.
Bogard, how many pirate ships do you think we’ll sink today?”
Bogard, already used to Ramon’s strange questions, answered calmly,
“…Maybe four or five.”
Ramon nodded confidently.
“I think I’ll sink more than five.”
Suddenly—
“RAMON!
COME HERE!”
Garp’s loud voice echoed from the front of the ship.
Ramon immediately dropped the weights onto the deck and ran toward him.
At the front of the ship, Garp was staring into the distance.
Far away, a pirate ship could barely be seen sailing across the sea.
Garp pointed toward it.
“Ramon, do you see that ship?”
Ramon narrowed his eyes slightly.
“…Yeah.
I can see it.”
Garp grinned and handed him a cannonball.
“Throw this at it.”
Ramon blinked.
“…Okay.”
Without hesitation, he grabbed the cannonball tightly, twisted his body slightly, then hurled it forward with all his strength.
FWOOOSH!
The cannonball shot through the air like a meteor.
On the pirate ship, the pirates barely had time to react.
BOOM!!
The entire ship exploded apart instantly.
The surrounding Marines stared in shock.
Then Garp burst into laughter.
“BWAHAHAHA!”
“That’s my grandson!”
Ramon looked at him blankly.
“…Grandpa, what’s so special about that?”
Garp pointed toward a pile of cannonballs stacked nearby.
“From now on…”
“You’re going to throw those at every pirate ship you see.”
Ramon stared at the dozens of cannonballs for a moment—
Then a huge grin slowly spread across his face.
“…YOSHA!”
Along the way, Garp and Ramon destroyed countless pirate ships.
One after another, vessels sank into the sea as Ramon hurled cannonballs across impossible distances while Garp laughed proudly beside him.
The reputation of both grandfather and grandson continued rising rapidly throughout the seas.
Then suddenly—
BOOOOM!!
The entire ocean trembled violently.
The Marine ship shook heavily.
Garp’s expression changed instantly.
His laughter vanished.
He stepped forward and looked around sharply.
“…What happened?”
Then—
A massive shadow covered the ship.
Everyone slowly looked upward.
Above them…
An island was floating in the sky.
The atmosphere instantly turned heavy.
Garp’s eyes narrowed.
“…Shiki.”
Then a loud laugh echoed across the sky.
“Jihahahaha!!”
“You old Marine dog!”
“How are you, Garp?!”
Floating high above the sea stood Shiki, the Golden Lion himself.
The Marines froze in fear.
Garp instantly became enraged.
“SHIKI, YOU BASTARD!!”
He threw his Marine coat aside and cracked his knuckles.
The air around him grew intense.
Ramon looked upward in shock.
Even he could feel the terrifying pressure coming from the man in the sky.
Garp glanced toward Ramon and spoke seriously.
“Ramon.
Leave this area.”
“I’ll handle things here.”
Ramon immediately protested.
“Grandpa, I want to fight him—”
But Garp cut him off sharply.
“No.”
“You’re still too young for this.”
“…But—”
“No.”
For the first time in a while, Garp’s tone carried absolute seriousness.
Ramon clenched his fists.
Then slowly nodded.
“…Okay, Grandpa.”
Garp turned toward Bogard.
“Bogard.”
“Take the Marines out of range.
NOW.”
Bogard immediately nodded.
“Yes, sir.”
Above them, Shiki continued laughing wildly from the sky island.
“Jihahahaha!!”
“So serious already, Garp?!”
Garp stepped forward to the edge of the ship, staring directly upward.
“…I’ll take care of this cat myself.”
Bogard immediately looked at the Marines and shouted,
“Didn’t you hear what Mr.
Garp said?!”
“All of you, turn the ship around now!”
“Otherwise, we’ll all sink into the sea together!”
The Marines instantly rushed into action.
Fear was visible on their faces.
Nobody wanted to remain near a battle involving Shiki.
The ship quickly began turning away from the battlefield while the floating island above continued casting a massive shadow across the ocean.
Meanwhile, Ramon secretly climbed to the top of the ship and looked back toward the sky, unable to hide his excitement.
At the center of the sea—
Garp didn’t waste a second.
BOOM!
He jumped into the air and immediately used Moonwalk, kicking the atmosphere itself as he rushed toward Shiki at terrifying speed.
Shiki grinned wildly.
“Jihahahaha!!”
“COME ON, GARP!!”
He unsheathed both of his swords.
At the same moment—
A terrifying aura exploded out from him.
His Conqueror’s Haki spread across the sky like a storm.
The sea below trembled.
Dark lightning crackled around the air.
Garp’s eyes sharpened.
Without hesitation, he released his own Conqueror’s Haki.
The two overwhelming auras collided violently in midair.
Black lightning split across the sky.
The ocean below erupted into massive waves while the Marines watching from afar trembled in fear.
Even Ramon, despite his excitement, felt his heart shake slightly from the pressure radiating from both monsters.
Before anyone could react, Garp and Shiki clashed head-on.
Garp’s fist was coated in powerful Armament Haki and advanced Conqueror’s Haki.
Shiki swung both of his swords with overwhelming force.
The attacks collided—
But the fist and blades never touched.
A gap remained between them.
BOOOOOOM!!
A monstrous shockwave erupted across the sea.
Massive waves rose into the sky.
The clouds split apart.
Even the ocean below cracked under the pressure of their clash.
Dark lightning spread wildly across the battlefield as their Conqueror’s Haki continued colliding again and again.
Shiki grinned madly.
“Jihahahaha!!”
“Garp!
Why don’t you join me?!”
“Together, we could rule the entire world!”
Garp barked back angrily while throwing another punch.
“I DON’T CARE ABOUT RULING THE WORLD!”
Shiki blocked with his swords and laughed again.
“Then what do you want?!”
“To remain the lapdog of the World Government?!”
“Didn’t you see what happened at God Valley Incident?!”
For a split second—
Garp fell silent.
Then he threw another devastating punch toward Shiki’s face.
Shiki dodged sideways instantly.
BOOM!!
The air exploded again as both monsters continued exchanging attacks at insane speed.
Below on the sea, the Marines struggled just to remain standing from the pressure alone.
Meanwhile, Ramon stood atop the Marine ship, trembling violently.
Not from fear—
But from excitement.
His blood boiled watching the battle.
The overwhelming Haki in the air shook his body, yet his eyes only shined brighter.
“I want to join…”
He clenched his fists tightly.
Then he looked toward Bogard.
“Mr.
Bogard…”
“Sorry.”
“But I can’t just sit still!”
Before Bogard could stop him—
Ramon jumped high into the air.
BOOM!
Using Moonwalk, he kicked the atmosphere repeatedly and rushed toward the battlefield between Garp and Shiki.
Even knowing he couldn’t survive a direct clash between them—
He still charged forward without hesitation.
Because the excitement burning inside him was something he could no longer suppress.
As Ramon rushed through the sky using Moonwalk, his eyes remained locked onto the battle between Garp and Shiki.
His blood boiled.
His heartbeat thundered.
The excitement inside him exploded beyond control.
Then—
BOOOOM!!
A terrifying wave of Conqueror’s Haki burst out from Ramon’s body.
Dark red and bluish-black lightning spread wildly around him like a violent storm.
The pressure was monstrous.
Even the sea below shook violently.
The Marines on the distant ship widened their eyes in horror.
Some weaker soldiers collapsed unconscious instantly.
The aura pouring out of Ramon was unbelievably savage and oppressive.
Though still immature compared to true top tiers, the sheer potential hidden within it was terrifying enough to make even monsters acknowledge it.
Shiki’s attention was immediately drawn toward Ramon.
His grin slowly faded.
“…Oh?”
He looked toward Garp.
“Garp…”
“Who’s that kid?”
Even Garp showed visible shock for a moment after sensing Ramon’s Haki erupt so violently.
Then anger appeared on his face.
“RAMON!!”
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!”
“DIDN’T I TELL YOU TO LEAVE?!”
Ramon scratched his head awkwardly despite the raging Haki surrounding him.
“Sorry, Grandpa…”
“But I couldn’t control the excitement.”
Shiki stared at Ramon carefully.
Then slowly, a huge grin appeared on his face once more.
“Jihahahahaha!!”
“What a terrifying brat…”
“That kid…”
“He’s a born monster.”
Shiki observed Ramon carefully for a few moments while dark lightning continued crackling around the battlefield.
Then he suddenly burst into laughter.
“Jihahahahaha!!”
“Hey, kid!”
“What’s your dream?”
“Want to join me and conquer the whole world?!”
Hearing that, Ramon laughed loudly as well.
“Kuhahahaha!”
“Sorry, old man, but I don’t want to rule the world.”
“That sounds boring.”
Shiki raised an eyebrow.
“…Oh?”
“Then what do you want?”
Ramon’s expression slowly became serious.
The wind blew wildly around him while his Conqueror’s Haki continued surging outward.
“My dream…”
“…is to become the strongest and the freest.”
Shiki’s smile widened slightly.
Ramon clenched his fist tightly and continued,
“I want to become so strong…”
“…that nobody can take anything from me ever again.”
“I want to stand at the very peak.”
For a brief moment—
The battlefield became silent except for the roaring sea below.
Even Garp looked at Ramon quietly after hearing those words.
Then Shiki suddenly started laughing loudly again.
“JIHAHAHAHAHA!!”
“What an interesting brat!”
“You’ve got the spirit of a true monster!”
Shiki continued staring at Ramon for a few more moments after hearing his ambition.
The Golden Lion’s grin slowly widened.
Then he turned his eyes toward Garp and laughed loudly.
“Jihahahahaha!!”
“Garp!”
“That grandson of yours…”
“…might shake the entire world one day!”
The air trembled from the pressure of his laughter alone.
But Shiki did not continue the conversation any further.
Instead—
His expression suddenly became sharp.
Without warning, he swung one of his swords toward Garp.
Garp instantly reacted and thrust his fist forward.
BOOOOOOM!!
Another terrifying collision erupted across the sky.
Their attacks never touched directly. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
A massive gap remained between sword and fist as black lightning exploded violently around them.
The clouds above split apart once again.
The ocean below churned wildly as gigantic waves spread in every direction.
Ramon, who was much closer to the battlefield now, immediately raised both arms to shield himself from the violent shockwaves released by their Conqueror’s Haki clash.
Even with his monstrous physique, the pressure generated by those two legends was overwhelming.
The very air itself felt heavy.
Then suddenly—
Shiki’s grin became wider.
“Garp!”
“Let’s see if you can survive THIS!”
At that exact moment—
A gigantic shadow suddenly covered the sky above all three of them.
Ramon instinctively looked upward.
His eyes widened.
An enormous island was descending from the sky.
The floating island that Shiki had been controlling until now had begun falling directly toward them.
Shiki spread both arms while laughing madly.
“JIHAHAHAHAHA!!”
“THIS IS MY GIFT TO YOU!!”
The next second, Shiki turned around and shot through the sky at terrifying speed.
Thanks to the power of his Float-Float Fruit, his flying speed was monstrous.
Within moments, he had already created a large distance between himself and Garp.
Below, Ramon looked at the massive island falling toward them and felt his scalp go numb.
The sheer size of it was ridiculous.
If it landed—
The surrounding sea would be destroyed completely.
The Marine ship in the distance would also get caught in the destruction.
Garp clicked his tongue.
“Damn you, Shiki!”
For a brief moment, he considered chasing after him.
But the moment he glanced toward Ramon—
He stopped.
If he chased Shiki now, Ramon would get caught within the range of the falling island.
Without hesitation, Garp abandoned the chase completely.
Instead, he directly kicked the air using Moonwalk and shot upward toward the descending island itself.
Ramon stared upward with wide eyes.
The closer Garp got—
The smaller he looked compared to the gigantic island.
Yet despite that difference—
Garp showed no fear at all.
His right fist pulled backward.
Dark lightning began crackling violently around his arm.
Armament Haki and Conqueror’s Haki surged together around his fist so intensely that even the atmosphere distorted slightly.
Then—
Garp roared across the sky.
“GALAXY IMPACT!!!”
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!
The punch landed.
For a split second—
Silence.
Then the entire island exploded apart.
A catastrophic shockwave spread across the heavens.
Massive chunks of rock shattered into countless pieces.
The sky trembled violently.
Even the sea below split apart briefly from the force of the attack.
Ramon’s mouth slowly fell open while watching the scene unfold before his eyes.
A whole island—
Destroyed in a single punch.
Far away in the distance, Shiki looked back at the explosion while flying away through the sky.
Then he burst into laughter once more.
“Jihahahahaha!!”
“Just like always…”
“You monster!”
As the remains of the gigantic island rained down into the sea like countless meteors, Ramon stared at the scene with shining eyes.
The ocean below was still violently shaking from the aftermath of Garp’s attack.
Massive waves spread across the horizon.
The sky itself still carried traces of black lightning from the overwhelming Haki clash.
Ramon’s heartbeat sped up uncontrollably.
Then suddenly—
“THAT WAS SO COOL!!!”
He yelled at the top of his lungs while looking at the destroyed island fragments falling from the sky.
For Ramon, the scene he had just witnessed was unbelievable.
An entire island—
Destroyed by a single punch.
That level of strength made his blood boil with excitement.
Then suddenly—
FWOOSH!
A figure rapidly approached him through the sky using Moonwalk.
Within moments, Garp arrived directly in front of him.
Ramon’s eyes sparkled immediately.
“Grandpa!!”
“That was amazing!”
“That attack—”
But before he could continue—
BAM!!
A powerful “Fist of Love” landed directly on his head.
“OOWWWWW!!”
Ramon instantly clutched his head in pain.
“OW!
OW!
OW!!”
“WHY DID YOU HIT ME?!”
Garp’s face was dark with anger.
“YOU IDIOT!!”
“BAKA!!”
“WHAT DID I TELL YOU BEFORE?!”
“I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME NEAR THIS FIGHT!!”
His veins bulged as he pointed angrily at Ramon.
“DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW DANGEROUS THAT WAS?!”
Ramon rubbed his swollen head while replying weakly,
“Sorry, Grandpa…”
“But I couldn’t control the excitement…”
The moment Garp heard that excuse—
BAM!!
Another punch landed on Ramon’s head.
“SHUT UP!!”
“You almost got yourself killed!”
Then Garp grabbed Ramon by the collar.
“Now let’s go back!”
Without waiting for a reply, both of them started moving through the sky using Moonwalk and quickly returned toward the Marine ship in the distance.
Meanwhile, the Marines aboard the ship stared at them with expressions full of awe and disbelief.
Some were still shaking after witnessing Garp destroy an entire island with one attack.
Others were staring at Ramon in shock after sensing his monstrous Conqueror’s Haki earlier.
The moment both grandfather and grandson landed back on deck—
Garp immediately started punching Ramon repeatedly.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
“IDIOT!”
BAM!
“WHAT IF YOU DIED?!”
BAM!!
“YOU NEVER LISTEN!”
Ramon ran around the deck while covering his head desperately.
“OW!!”
“SORRY!!”
“GRANDPA STOP!!”
But Garp ignored him completely and continued chasing him around the ship for several more minutes while the Marines watched the scene awkwardly.
Even Bogard silently looked away, pretending not to see anything.
