Three Heroes vs. Garp! (Please Keep Reading!)

Red light and white light blended together, transforming into a two-colored spiraling wave.

The dual-colored spiral collided with a dazzling, sunlike Haki shockwave.

The sky instantly trembled.

The colliding forces created a tiny black dot, which abruptly expanded into a massive explosion fireball hundreds of meters wide, hanging across the sky.

The fireball suddenly burst apart, and boundless energy became ring after ring of shockwaves that instantly swept across heaven and earth.

The clouds in the sky shattered, while sand and stones flew across the ground.

"What incredible power!"

Abel raised a hand to block the raging wind head-on. The grit nearly kept him from opening his eyes.

The collision of their techniques made him feel as though he had witnessed the end of the world.

"Worororororo! Not bad, brat! You're pretty proficient!"

Amid the endlessly surging gale, Kaido laughed wildly.

Roa stood shoulder to shoulder with Kaido, his hair whipping about in the wind. "You're not bad either, Big Brother Kaido. You must have practiced quite a bit in private, huh?"

"Still..."

Roa smacked his lips as he watched the figure ahead crash to the ground like a meteor. "Isn't he ridiculously strong? Even the combined power of the two of us only barely matched him?"

As a joint ultimate technique, Sea-Dominating was not as simple as one plus one equaling two. It came with a far greater boost.

Yet even so, it had only managed to tie with Garp's punch.

"Worororororo! The world is just that vast! Roger, Newgate, Shiki—they're all monsters like this!"

Kaido's eyes gleamed. "Brat, are you scared?"

"I'm scared to death."

Roa's lips curled upward.

The entire island was suffused with dense black mist. With that, there was nothing to fear!

Could he still one-shot him?

With his indestructible Calamity Protection, could Iron Fist Garp really take him out with a single punch?

If he could not, then Roa could heal without limit!

"Dragon Brother Tiger Brother, huh?"

Garp's gaze toward Roa and Kaido grew slightly grave, but it quickly shifted to Abel behind Roa. "A Lunarian? Where did this brat come from?"

"You'll have to ask your World Government about that, Hero Garp."

Roa's tone was wistful. "Just because he was born a Lunarian, the World Government captured him early on and used him for experiments. Do you think something like that is reasonable?"

The Marine Hero fell silent for a moment.

Of course, he knew about the Lunanrians' living conditions. Simply reporting their whereabouts to the government could earn a reward of one hundred million Beli!

Seeing Garp's expression, Roa shook his head.

This was exactly what would not do, Vice Admiral Garp.

He was already the Celestial Dragons' dog, so what was with this act of reluctance?

Ryokugyu was... more honest, at least.

"What a headache!"

The Marine Hero scratched his head. "Forget it. If I can't figure it out, I won't think about it for now. First, I'll beat the crap out of you two little brats!"

"Wait!"

Roa raised his left hand, his face solemn. "I still have something to say!"

"What could you possibly want to say at this point?"

Garp paused obligingly. "Let me say this first: even if you surrender now, I'll still beat you up good."

"There's something I've wanted to say for a long time, and today I finally have the chance."

Roa said seriously, "Black Tiger Roa—what was the Marines thinking? Do you know how much psychological trauma such an awful nickname caused me when I was only a few years old?"

"Because I was so afraid of people calling me that, I could only kill everyone who did. The mental pressure was enormous!"

"Vice Admiral Garp, after you go back, discuss it with headquarters and have them give me a cooler nickname. How about Calamity Roa? Or Disaster Maker?"

"Worororororo! You brat!"

Kaido burst into loud laughter.

This kid had not changed at all. Even when he was weaker, he still maintained that casual attitude of not taking his opponent seriously.

"What does a brat like you know?!"

Hero Garp was already roaring as he shot toward them. "Nicknames are supposed to be simple and easy to understand!"

Roa's face changed dramatically.

It really was!

Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Iron Fist, Big Mom, Shanks, Blackbeard, Straw Hat...

He was hopeless—hopeless for this world where the average education level was low and the aesthetic standards even lower!

"Why are you still talking nonsense?!"

Kaido launched himself forward to meet him, black lightning surging across his iron club. "Roaring Thunder Eight Trigrams!!"

Luo Ya sensibly retreated. "Big Brother Kaido, I'll leave the front to you!"

If he went toe-to-toe with Iron Fist Garp, he would definitely get beaten black and blue.

So...

"Abel! Provide ranged support!"

Luo Ya shouted.

"Understood, Boss!"

Abel beat his wings and rose into the air, the flame behind his head flaring. "Flame!"

He thrust both hands forward, and a roaring pillar of fire surged out at once.

It looked flashy, sure, but... well, being small was cute too.

Still, it was enough.

"Blaze fiercely!"

The patterns around Luo Ya's great horns on his forehead spread.

The rushing flames instantly expanded, turning into enormous fire dragons that scattered apart and charged at Garp from every direction.

"So powerful!"

Abel froze slightly.

Boss had used his flames to create an even stronger attack?

As the flames surged forward, Kaido had already been knocked back by a single punch from Garp.

"Too slow!"

The ground beneath his feet exploded into a deep crater. Garp pierced through the air like lightning, charging straight at Luo Ya. The fire dragons before him were punched through directly, while those coming from other directions never even had the chance to touch him.

Too fast!

Was he about to get punched—

BOOM!!

The earth roared.

Garp stopped dead in the middle of his charge, because a volcano had erupted right in front of him!

Volcanic ash and magma were blasted a thousand meters into the sky in a single burst of terrifying force.

"What?"

Garp was genuinely stunned.

A volcano?

Was this also that brat's ability?

Even Sakazuki, this year's rookie and a proper Mag-Mag Fruit user, couldn't do something like this!

"Hahahaha! Now you have nowhere to stand, Hero Garp!"

Luo Ya laughed wildly.

The earth rumbled without end. One volcano after another appeared out of thin air, and streams of magma erupted one after another.

In just a few breaths, the entire area had turned into a sea of magma.

"This brat!"

Garp could only use Geppo to take to the air, all while carefully avoiding the magma and volcanic ash that kept falling from the sky.

What kind of ability was this?

Meteorites, flames, magma!

"You old mad dog!!"

Kaido came pursuing on flaming clouds. "Great Virtue Thunder Eight Trigrams!!"

"Stop getting in my way!"

Garp twisted around, his fist drawing back to strike.

But at that very moment—

"Didn't I say it? You have nowhere to stand! The sky is no exception!"

Luo Ya pulled with his left hand. "Tornado!"

A violent gust suddenly rose, instantly sweeping Garp into it.

The turbulent airflow immediately made the hero Garp's Geppo difficult to use!

Garp's expression changed at once.

At that moment, an iron club wrapped in black lightning came smashing straight at him.

BOOM!!

The sky shook.

Black Haki born from the clash of Conqueror's Haki surged into the heavens.

Kaido was instantly sent flying by the astonishing force like a cannonball.

But at the same time, unable to find footing in midair, Garp also fell at an angle and plunged headfirst into the magma pool.

Magma splashed high into the air.

"Tsk."

Luo Ya clicked his tongue. "Hot, isn't it?"

"I'll get you out!"

He raised his left hand. "How about some fireworks?"

BOOM!!

The magma pool shook continuously. Then, an unprecedentedly massive volcanic eruption burst forth, with surging magma spraying hundreds, even thousands of meters into the sky like a fountain.

"What a spectacular sight!"

Abel murmured in awe.

Luo Ya glanced back at him.

It fit the classic tale of three heroes battling Lü Bu.
