“That bastard!”
Kong’s furious roar echoed throughout Marine Headquarters… Meanwhile, in the waters of the New World.
A Marine battleship was cutting through the waves at full speed.
The deck was covered in water, and the Marines scurrying around, busy tidying up, were all soaked.
Evidently, the ship had just weathered a considerable storm.
“Wahahahahaha!”
“The storm has finally stopped!”
A boisterous laugh drowned out the lapping of the waves.
A burly man, clad in a cloak of justice and bearing the Marine insignia on his shoulders, stood at the bow.
His white suit was stretched taut by his bulging muscles.
Currently, he was munching on senbei while picking his nose with his pinky, roaring with laughter.
It was none other than Marineford Rear Admiral — Iron Fist Monkey D.
Garp.
“Mr.
Garp, the Roger Pirates are out of sight now…”
“And our compass is malfunctioning!”
Bogart, formerly Kong’s bodyguard and now Garp’s deputy.
The stern man in a brown suit, his eyes perpetually hidden in the shadow of his hat brim, now had a tightly furrowed brow, appearing somewhat anxious.
“It’s fine!
This is the New World, after all, so it’s not strange for some peculiar things to happen!”
Garp flicked away the booger from his hand, waved dismissively, and senbei crumbs fluttered from his mouth.
“What do we do now?” Bogart pressed.
“No problem!” Garp still maintained an indifferent expression.
He waved his hand, and as he spoke, he took off his cloak and handed it to Bogart.
“Ah hahaha!
Marines, all of you, go hide in the cabin!”
A puzzled expression appeared on Bogart’s face, then he suddenly became alert, “Masaka…”
“Ah, Garp-san, wait a minute…”
Before Bogart could finish speaking, Garp suddenly leaped up amidst the bewildered gazes of everyone, and a formidable aura gathered around him.
“Fist Bone: Impact—!”
After a brief moment of charging, his iron fist, the size of a sandbag, struck out with unparalleled force.
A visible shockwave propelled the surrounding air directly towards the sails.
“Boom—!”
A violent gust of wind instantly erupted, causing the sails to cave in an exaggerated arc.
The entire warship trembled violently, and the immense power lifted the entire warship into the air.
It flew forward at an extremely high speed, leaving a long white wake on the sea surface.
“Wahahaha!
Marines!
We’re setting sail!”
“At… at least, give us a heads-up next time, Mr.
Garp…”
Bogart clung to the mast, the howling sea wind stuffing his words back into his mouth.
Across the entire sea, only Garp’s carefree laughter could be heard, along with the squawking gulls startled by the punch’s wind… On the deck of the Rocks Pirates’ ship, the sea wind howled.
The navigator directed the helmsman, speeding towards North Blue according to the compass’s direction.
He narrowed his eyes, gazing at the distant sea horizon.
“Where are we now?”
“Reporting, Captain Rocks, we’re almost at the Calm Belt.
Once we cross the Calm Belt, we’ll enter North Blue!”
“Jie hahahaha—!”
Golden Lion took a deep drag from his cigar, battle intent simmering in his eyes, “This old man can’t wait to raise hell!”
“The Calm Belt has no wind, and there are giant sea creatures.
Can we cross it?”
Newgate, standing beside Rocks, asked doubtfully.
Before Rocks could explain, the crew member on lookout in the mast cried out in alarm:
“What… what is that?!”
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a black dot approaching at an astonishing speed in the azure sky.
Newgate’s brows suddenly furrowed tightly.
“Ding!
Hostile force detected in a surprise attack!
Host, please be vigilant!”
The system’s alarm perfectly coincided with the rapidly enlarging black shadow in his vision.
“Damn it… that’s a Marine warship!”
“Are you kidding me—a Marine warship flying in the sky?!”
The deck instantly erupted into chaos.
The steel behemoth, which should have been sailing on the sea, was now tearing through the clouds, howling as it approached.
Its speed was so great that its hull was even rubbing against the air, producing dazzling sparks… Before the warship even got close, Newgate saw the distinctive dog head emblem on its bow.
It’s Garp!
Why is that guy here?
Could it be that he came to capture Rocks?
But at this moment, Garp alone is no match for the Rocks Pirates!
No matter, this is a golden opportunity!
To hone his physical combat and Haki, Newgate couldn’t think of a better opponent than Garp, apart from his beloved teacher.
While everyone’s attention was focused on the warship.
Newgate discreetly took three capsules from his system backpack, two white and one purple, and quickly popped them into his mouth.
Murakumogiri in his hand flashed with a cold glint, emitting a barely perceptible hum, as if anticipating the upcoming battle.
Newgate twirled Murakumogiri, adopting a fighting stance… In an inconspicuous corner of the pirate ship.
Miss Bakkin’s peripheral vision had been on Whitebeard.
She saw Whitebeard’s subtle movements, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a hint of doubt flickered in her light blue eyes.
“An interesting fellow.”
Her red lips parted slightly as she murmured softly.
Soon, her attention was drawn back to the warship, which was approaching faster and faster through the air.
She elegantly smoothed her hair, which had been ruffled by the sea breeze, and a confident curve played on her lips.
Unless the top Marine forces were mobilized en masse, a single warship could do nothing against her Rocks Pirates, a crew composed of monsters… The hint of doubt was pushed deep into her heart.
The most important thing now was to resolve the little interlude at hand.
Let these Marines, who don’t know their place, witness what true despair is… Above the warship, Garp stood atop the dog’s head.
When he clearly saw the emblem of the pirate ship below, his smile instantly froze, and his expression became serious in an instant.
“Hey, hey, Marines, pay attention!”
“A great crisis!
…On the warship’s deck, a fierce wind raged.
The Marines, clinging desperately to various ropes, heard Garp’s voice, and the color instantly drained from their faces, all showing expressions of disbelief.
“The legendary… Rocks Pirates?!”
“It’s over… We’re doomed…”
“Nonsense!
How could the righteous Marines lose?!”
“With Mr.
Garp here, we can definitely defeat the pirates, right?”
…Voices intertwined with various emotions rose and fell, and amidst the clamor, the warship had approached to less than a hundred meters above the sea.
The wind howled in his ears, Garp’s pupils suddenly contracted, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.
He turned and shouted to Bogart, who was clinging tightly to the mast:
“Bogart!
Take them back to Marineford!”
“And you, Mr.
Garp?!”
Bogart seemed to have seen something in Garp’s eyes.
He suddenly let go of the mast, exerting all his strength, about to pounce on Garp, but was kicked back into the cabin.
“Wahahaha!
You are the future of the Marines!”
“I will definitely return!”
Before his words finished, Garp’s legs suddenly exerted force.
Under the boost of his monstrous strength, the deck suddenly shattered, and his figure shot into the sky like a cannonball, while the warship crashed heavily onto the sea surface.
“Boom!”
A towering wave surged on the sea, and the Marines’ cries were heartbreaking:
“Mr.
Garp!
No!”
“Let’s go back together!”
…After Bogart regained his footing, he sternly issued orders:
“Everyone to their posts, full speed ahead!
Target, Marineford!”
After hearing his words, the young Marines cried even more bitterly.
“Mr.
Garp…”
“We must not… betray Mr.
Garp’s resolve!”
After hearing Bogart’s words, the Marines, fighting back tears, cooperated to turn the warship, sailing in the direction indicated by the now normal Eternal Pose.
On the ship, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the distant pirate ship, with flames of hatred burning in their eyes…
