"One second." Roy silently counted in his mind as he watched Doberman fly backward, but his foot speed was not slow at all.
Roy knew that his Dream-Enter ability wouldn't put Garp to sleep for long, so he went all out with every attack. In fact, if Roy hadn't known that Garp had a habit of sleeping, he wouldn't have taken the gamble at all.
In fact, Garp mainly suffered from a lack of information. He was unaware that Roy possessed Dream-Enter abilities and was completely unprepared for them. Roy, on the other hand, knew about Garp's habit. This imbalance was the reason why Roy was able to successfully outmaneuver him.
However, this kind of tactic is basically doomed to fail once exposed. Once Garp is on guard, it won't be so easy for Roy to outmaneuver him. Of course, for Roy, it's enough. As long as he can capture these two Vice Admiral, he will undoubtedly have two more bargaining chips.
Roy wasn't unwilling to take this opportunity to subdue Garp, but this skill had its flaws. As long as the target was injured, they would wake up instantly. He wasn't confident that he could defeat Garp in one move. After thinking it over, it was much more reliable to take advantage of this gap to capture the other two Vice Admiral.
"Two seconds left, time is of the essence, we must defeat him in the third second." At this moment, Roy had pushed his Devil Fruit Ability, physique, swordsmanship, Haki to the limit, unleashing hundreds of slashes every second, more ferocious than an ancient dragon, practically hammering Doberman.
The main reason was that Doberman believed Garp was setting him up, which caused him to lose his composure. Otherwise, given his experience as a veteran Vice Admiral, it would have been impossible for him to show signs of defeat in such a short time.
On the other side, Onigumo miraculously turned the tide. This was not because Onigumo was stronger than Doberman; on the contrary, in Roy's perception, Doberman's aura should be stronger, which is why Roy chose him as his opponent.
The main reason is that Onigumo has the Eight Sword Style swordsmanship, which makes him very adept at dealing with group attacks.
"Life Return? Damn, I overlooked that. But it's not a big problem. As long as I defeat Doberman in the third second, and then rush over to hold off Onigumo for two seconds, once Dorry and Brogy's ultimate moves are completed, this battle can be declared over."
In terms of pure power, the combined attack of the two Titans, [Hakoku], is arguably the strongest move Roy has ever seen. Even though Onigumo is powerful, he could never withstand an attack of this magnitude.
"Oh no! Everyone, quickly provide support for the two Vice Admiral!" Only then did the group of navy personnel snap out of their daze.
"Don't even think about crossing this line. Just become our prisoners peacefully, hahaha." With Roy's reminder, his pirates recovered much faster than the marines.
Amidst the chaos of battle, the place where Garp slept was like a paradise, secluded and independent from the world.
The Navy did try to wake Garp, but the external noise was not enough to rouse him. Unless someone shot Garp, which would be very effective, but shooting Marine Hero was too much for the Navy to do.
"The third second, it's time to end the battle." Roy knew he couldn't drag it out any longer, otherwise, if a stray bullet accidentally hit Garp, it could steer the war in an unpredictable direction.
In an instant, hundreds of swift and sharp Sword Qi formed a storm and swept towards Doberman.
Doberman was already at his limit. After the Sword Storm, his body was covered with small, broken wounds, making him look like a blood-soaked figure. He looked extremely horrifying. Finally, his legs gave way and he collapsed into a pool of blood.
Although the injuries looked extremely serious, Roy knew that this level of injury wouldn't kill a Headquarters Vice Admiral. After all, a living Vice Admiral was far more valuable than a dead Vice Admiral.
"Phew, they're really tenacious. The Vice Admiral's strength is indeed formidable, managing to withstand my full-force attack for three seconds." Perhaps relieved to have defeated a powerful enemy, Roy even had the leisure to shamelessly boast a bit.
"Ah! Vice Admiral Doberman has been killed!" In the eyes of most of the navy, Doberman, lying on the ground, was already in grave danger.
"Damn pirates, let's fight them to the death and avenge Vice Admiral Doberman."
"The enemy is the kind of man who can take down Vice Admiral in three seconds. Can we really defeat him?"
"He's just a guy who lasts only three seconds, what's there to be afraid of?"
Roy's lips twitched. What the hell, a three-second man? But he didn't have time to worry about these trivial matters now and rushed towards Onigumo.
Onigumo also heard the angry shouts of the other marines, and was filled with grief and indignation, knowing that once Roy withdrew his hand, it would be his death.
Turning his gaze to Garp, seeing the old man still sleeping soundly, he was instantly filled with rage and malice.
Ignoring the attacks from the others, Onigumo jumped out of the battle and swung his sword at Garp, yelling, "You old bastard pretending to be stupid, die!"
"Biu!"
A spray of blood shot into the air, and Garp's body slammed heavily onto the ground.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events, speechless and dumbfounded. The scene was eerily quiet, as if time had suddenly stopped.
What's going on? Is this some kind of internal strife? Also, isn't Garp supposed to be Marine Hero? How come he was defeated so easily?
The navy was also baffled. The situation was already so critical, so why were they starting to fight amongst themselves?
Even Onigumo himself couldn't believe it. He knew how terrifying Garp's strength was and didn't think his angry attack could hurt him at all.
"Wait, could it be that Garp wasn't trying to trick us on purpose, but actually... fell asleep?" Onigumo was internally collapsing. Besides being embarrassed, he was speechless. How much of a liar could this old guy be? He could sleep so soundly with a major battle on the horizon. Was his title of Marine Hero fake?
After being attacked, Garp woke up instantly, with a wound over twenty centimeters long on his chest, from which a large amount of blood could be seen gushing out, which was quite terrifying. After all, Onigumo was also a Master Swordsman with extremely fierce attacks. The fact that he was not disemboweled was a testament to Garp's strong physical body.
However, Roy did not believe that this level of injury would have any impact on Garp. Pure Body Technique masters all have incredibly abnormal physiques.
Therefore, Roy quickly spoke in the team channel, instructing his subordinates to continue attacking Onigumo.
In fact, Garp was still a bit confused. How could he have been stunned for a moment and then found that Onigumo had actually launched an attack on him? Had he betrayed him? And where Doberman? Why wasn't he coming out to stop this guy? Could it Doberman had also been secretly killed by Onigumo?
However, before he could sort out his thoughts, he saw Roy's officers launch an attack on Onigumo.
He didn't have time to think much. He raised his iron fist to prepare to rescue the enemy. Before figuring out the situation, he chose to save Onigumo first. After all, with his strength, he wasn't worried about being ambushed by a junior like Onigumo.
After dealing with this group of pirates, we'll settle accounts with that little spider.
