Encounter with the Three Admirals of the Marines

Looking at the warship in the middle, fear still lingered in their eyes. Who knew when Garp had beaten them up, or what had happened.

"It's not just Garp!" Luo Han said.

Looking at the three approaching warships, Luo Han thought, Looks like there's going to be a fierce battle!

"What are you panicking for? We have four great men here," one of the slightly stronger lackeys said.

"Exactly! We have Lord Newgate and Lord Shiki, as well as Lord Luo Han and Lord Cole. There's nothing to worry about."

The pirate lackeys indulged in their fantasies, and even Luo Han himself nearly started believing he was already someone dependable.

"Ahahaha! I finally found you bastards, Newgate, Shiki!"

Garp stood on the middle warship, staring excitedly at Whitebeard and Golden Lion.

"You'd better be careful this time. Without Rocks, the Three Admirals of the Marines will send you to Impel Down to live out your retirement!" Garp said.

Retirement? Uh... the Marines on the warship seemed unable to understand Garp's joke.

Looking at the young Whitebeard and Golden Lion, it seemed they had gained a new understanding of the word "retirement"!

"Haha! So it's you three bastards, Garp!" Whitebeard said from the bow of the ship.

"What? We beat you back before, and now that you see we've split up, you think you can defeat us?"

"Still, the World Government's intelligence is really impressive! You found out so quickly."

"Hahaha!" Garp laughed loudly.

"Here! This morning's newspaper. Everything about the Rocks Pirates is written right there in the paper!"

Garp waved the newspaper in his hand.

Uh!!! Whitebeard's mouth twitched!

That really was Captain Rocks's style!

Garp laughed and wanted to say more, but Sengoku stopped him.

"Whitebeard, Golden Lion, we can't let you continue like this any longer," Zephyr said from another ship.

"We'll send you to Impel Down right here to spend the rest of your lives!"

Clang! Clang! Clang! Three flying crescent-shaped slashes shot directly toward the three warships.

Golden Lion had struck first! Clearly, he had no intention of listening to the Three Admirals of the Marines keep blabbering.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The three slashes were intercepted and shattered in midair by three fists. Even the broken slashes left streaks across the sea.

Looking at Golden Lion's condensed slashes, Luo Han saw that even after they shattered into countless tiny sword energies, they still retained tremendous power.

Luo Han also came to understand the strength of a Marine Admiral.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Garp and the other two leaped down from their warships at the same time.

"Open fire! Sink the pirate ship!" Sengoku shouted.

"Yes, Vice Admiral Sengoku!" the soldiers answered.

Creak! Creak! ...The cannons on the Marine warships turned toward Luo Han's ship.

"Return fire, you bastards!" Whitebeard shouted as well.

For a time, cannonballs flew everywhere. Unfortunately, they all landed around the ships, and not one hit its target.

Any cannonball that came close to the ship was knocked away by the people aboard.

The same was true on the Marine side!

Luo Han was a little disappointed! This wasn't the naval battle he wanted to see! Only Cole watched excitedly as the cannonballs from both sides blasted fish.

Sister Shaku stood there calmly, a faint smile on her face.

"Haha! It doesn't seem to be working, Sengoku," Garp said.

"Shut up, Garp."

Sengoku said.

"Zephyr! Garp and I will hold off Golden Lion and Whitebeard. You deal with the other pirates first, then join us and defeat Whitebeard and Golden Lion."

"Fine! Then I'll take care of these scraps first," Zephyr said.

"Hey, hey! I can handle them alone. I don't need help."

Garp looked extremely unwilling!

"Just shut up, Garp." Sengoku glared at Garp.

"Move!" Sengoku shouted.

Then the three of them used Geppo in midair and charged straight toward Luo Han's group.

"Come on, Garp, Sengoku!"

Whitebeard and Golden Lion charged at Garp and Sengoku respectively.

Clang! Crack! Fists collided with blades, fists collided with fists, their clashes rising and falling through the air.

The air shattered beneath Whitebeard's fist like glass.

Invisible shockwaves spread in every direction, tossing the people on the ship around.

This won't do! If this keeps up, the ship will get caught in the crossfire.

"You bastards! Get the ship out of here!" Luo Han said.

Hmm! It seemed he had been influenced by Whitebeard and the others! He had started calling people bastards too.

"Where do you scraps think you're going?"

Zephyr had already arrived on the ship! He looked at Luo Han and the other worthless pirate scraps.

Hmm! Suddenly, Zephyr felt a tremendous force strike his body. He only had time to defend himself with Armament Haki.

Bang! Zephyr was blasted off the ship and fell onto the sea.

Splash! Step, step! Zephyr used Geppo to return to the air.

He looked at Luo Han's group with surprise and confusion on his face!

He was surprised because he had thought there were no strong fighters left on the ship! He was confused because he didn't know who had launched that attack just now!

"My, my! This young Marine will be left to young Luo Han and young Cole," Sister Shaku said. "We'll sail the ship away and give them room to fight!"

"They're so reliable! Having Lord Luo Han at a critical moment is such a blessing."

The lackeys once again sank into their fantasies.

Luo Han was left completely stunned!

"Fine! You take the ship away. Cole and I will stay behind to deal with Zephyr."

In the end, Luo Han could only agree. After all, only he and Cole could stop Zephyr now.

Maybe Sister Shaku could too, but she didn't seem to want to fight! Forget it, no point thinking about it.

Then, ignoring the group of lackeys behind them who could only cheer, Luo Han and Cole flew into the air together to face Zephyr.

Clang! Clang! Crack! Another round of collisions erupted.

Garp and Sengoku also noticed what was happening on Zephyr's side!

"Looks like something unexpected came up, Sengoku," Garp said.

"It's fine! Zephyr should be able to handle it. There's no information on those two, so they must have joined recently."

Sengoku carefully examined Luo Han and Cole, but couldn't recall any information about them.

"Haha! Sengoku, since we dared to split up, naturally we have the strength to do so!" Golden Lion said.

"Don't forget, the ones ruling the New World now are the Rocks Pirates!"

Hearing Golden Lion's mocking tone, Sengoku's teeth ached. Though it was the truth, it still infuriated him!

"So what? Today, we'll send every last one of you to Impel Down!" Sengoku said.

The four of them resumed their fierce battle in the air, and for a time, neither side could gain the upper hand.

Without any surprises, they could fight for ten days and ten nights. The surprise would depend on Zephyr's battle against Luo Han and Cole.

Meanwhile, Zephyr watched Luo Han and Cole floating in the air, his expression turning solemn.

It should be a Devil Fruit ability, right? The ability to fly, and in their normal state too! Zephyr was becoming confused.

While Zephyr was lost in thought, Cole had already grown impatient.

"Brother Han! Let me go first," Cole said.

He then activated Beast Transformation. Step! He used Geppo to increase his speed.

Cole charged at Zephyr at top speed.

Divine Fist Style! Cole shouted and threw a punch at Zephyr.

"Ha!" Zephyr covered both hands in Haki and threw a punch as well.

Clang!!! An invisible shockwave spread outward from between the large and small fists.

Ring after ring of waves rose from the sea beneath their feet!

After a brief contest of strength, the two retreated ten meters each!

"Kid! Who are you? With strength like that, why become a pirate?"

Zephyr looked at Cole's young face with some regret.
