Garp Robbed of His Prey

"How can one person's aura be so powerful!" Sanji gasped, then sighed, "What's going on with this sea? It suddenly feels so unfamiliar."

"That's natural. The Four Seas and the Grand Line are two different worlds. You should recognize yourselves and the world sooner rather than later, and give up those unrealistic ideas. Otherwise, you will only go further and further down the wrong path," the Vice Captain relentlessly criticized.

"That's good. A world filled with strong people won't be so lonely!" Zoro's fighting spirit was boiling, and he was fearless.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion interrupted their conversation. A large, visible meteorite engulfed in flames crashed into the sea, creating towering waves tens of meters high.

The giant island in the sky was shaking and trembling violently, beginning to disintegrate and fall apart.

Startled awake by the roaring noise, Usopp stared at the apocalyptic scene of falling Meteor Fire Rain, let out a rapid hiccup, slammed his head on the deck, and passed out again.

"Damn it, we can't stay here any longer, or people will definitely die." The Vice Captain was also sweating profusely. Although he was quite strong, he was almost powerless against such a natural disaster. One wrong move and the ship would be destroyed and everyone would die.

Sanji and the others nodded in agreement. Although they were stubborn, it didn't mean they wanted to die.

Nami and Usopp slowly awoke.

"Huh, where is this? Shouldn't we be on the deck?" Nami looked at the primeval forest before her and felt the warm, salty sea breeze blowing from the beach, rubbing her head in confusion as she asked.

"Oh no! The world is going to be destroyed!" Usopp's memory was still stuck on the last moment before he fainted, and he cried out in despair as soon as he woke up.

"Vice Admiral Garp and Golden Lion fought fiercely, and the floating island in the sky was destroyed in their battle. What you saw earlier, Lord Usopp, should have been the scene of the island disintegrating and falling." The Vice Captain answered Usopp's question first, then looked at Nami, "As for this place, it's an Unnamed Island not far from where they fought. Unfortunately, although I tried my best to avoid it, the warship was still hit by the falling meteorite and sank into the vast ocean. It was extremely difficult to transfer everyone here before the shipwreck occurred."

"Phew, I never imagined so much would happen after I passed out!" Nami patted the rabbit on her chest, nearly causing Sanji to bleed to death.

Zoro, watching the sharp sword beams that occasionally crisscrossed the sea and the sea that was cleaved open and could not heal for a long time, gripped the Wado Ichimonji tightly in his hand. "Is this the true strength of Great Sword Master? It seems that Hawkeye really did not use his true strength last time. Otherwise, I am afraid I would not have been able to withstand even one move."

Zoro did not feel frustrated or desperate, but his gaze was firm. "It seems that my progress in strength is still too slow. From today onwards, the daily training tasks must be tripled again."

"How boring. I can hardly see their fight anymore. I wish they could appear on this island." Luffy said listlessly, when suddenly he felt a chill run down his spine. He looked up abruptly and found everyone staring at him with murderous eyes.

Fortunately, Luffy is always stubborn. "Hey, why are you guys looking at me like that?"

Luffy turned around following everyone's gaze and saw two figures exuding a terrifying aura falling rapidly. If their direction remained unchanged, their final crash site should be right on the Unnamed Island beneath their feet.

"Great! I can finally see the Pirate Kings's former rival in person!" Luffy put his hands on his hips as Usopp and Nami attacked from behind, pinning him to the ground and beating him mercilessly.

"Idiot, are you a crow?" Usopp yelled in despair as he beat Luffy.

"We're doomed, we're doomed! We're in danger of being affected even from thousands of meters away. If they get onto the island, none of us will escape," Nami said desperately, her face contorted with grief.

"Wait, things might not be as bad as we think," Zoro said in a deep voice, staring ahead.

"Indeed." The Vice Captain looked at Zoro with a rather surprised expression before explaining, "Vice Admiral Garp's momentum is at its peak, but the other person's aura has plummeted to freezing point. It seems that the battle has already come to a conclusion."

"Did Vice Admiral Garp win?" Nami and Usopp stopped their beating and asked, their voices filled with surprise and delight.

"No way, it's over already?" Luffy covered in bumps.

Nami and Usopp exchanged a glance, then pinned Luffy to the ground and began beating him up again.

Boom!

A golden figure struck the Unnamed Island like Starfall, creating a thunderous explosion that instantly shattered the ground into pieces like a spider web.

"Hahaha, Golden Lion, you have failed. Come back to Impel Down with me again. This is your destined fate!" Garp also crashed to the ground like a cannonball. His clothes were already tattered and his body was covered with wounds, showing that the battle was by no means easy. Of course, his condition was still much better than Golden Lion's.

"Damn it, if I hadn't lost my legs and wasted twenty years of my life, I definitely wouldn't have lost to you!" The Golden Lion was covered in blood, looking like a demon crawling out of hell.

Losing to the person he least wanted to lose to was undoubtedly torture for him.

Nami and the others quietly moved behind Garp, worried that Golden Lion might suddenly attack and take them hostage or drag them down with him before he dies. After all, given the terrifying strength Golden Lion had shown before, even if he was low on health, they would not be able to withstand him.

Of course, given the Golden Lion's arrogance, it would disdain such a thing.

"When did you, Shiki, become such a sore loser? Have twenty years worn down your edges?" Garp said sarcastically.

"Hahaha, you're right, a loss is a loss." Golden Lion forced himself to stand up and laughed loudly, his sharp eyes fixed on Garp.

The crowd behind Garp stirred again, as if even his broad back couldn't give them much of a sense of security. The tiger may be dead, but its might still lingers, let alone the lion king in front of them who was still alive.

"But Garp, don't be too happy yet. This is just the prelude to my revenge. I will return with even more powerful dark forces to take my revenge, hahaha!"

"What do you mean?" Garp asked, frowning.

The space in front of the Golden Lion trembled and a spiral vortex appeared. A person wearing a vortex-shaped mask stepped out, grabbed the Golden Lion, and pulled him back into the vortex.

"Damn it, stop right there!" Seeing someone trying to snatch food from his mouth, Garp flew into a rage and slammed his fist down, seemingly cracking the very space around him.

But he was a step too slow and could only watch helplessly as the spatial vortex shrank and eventually disappeared without a trace.
