War God Returns! Nephew Sleeps in a Doghouse!

With a smile, Mo Xingchen crouched down, gently flicked Ace's nose, and said softly:

"Uncle will get revenge for you, okay!"

"Mhm!"

Ace and Luffy nodded heavily, their faces full of conviction.

Mo Xingchen stood up and looked at Garp. His soul, craving trouble, made him want to exclaim: "I, the dignified God of War protecting the nation of the Marines, how dare you, you old geezer, let my nephews sleep in a doghouse! Where are the hundred thousand troops! Kill!"

But he didn't dare, so he could only mentally vent. However, thinking that he would have to fight him anyway, he couldn't let his momentum falter.

"Heh, old man, you're bullying my nephews, huh! Wanna spar?"

Hearing their uncle's tough words, Ace and Luffy's eyes lit up. This was the great hero in their hearts! Their god!

"Yohohoho, kid, I hope your head is as hard as your mouth later."

After speaking, Garp quickly charged towards Mo Xingchen. Seeing this, Mo Xingchen hurriedly raised a hand and waved it non-stop, saying:

"Hey, hey, hey! Uncle, wait!"

Garp's charge didn't stop. As he rushed forward, he said:

"Hmph! It's too late to beg for mercy now!"

"No! The two kids are still here! Besides, this isn't the place for sparring!"

Garp's charge came to an abrupt halt. Blinking, he looked at Ace and Luffy beside Mo Xingchen, and the houses on the distant shore. Picking his nose, he said:

"Then let's go into the mountains!"

"Mhm!"

So, Garp led the way into the mountain forest. Mo Xingchen shook his head as he watched Garp's retreating back and said to Bogard:

"We'll probably be staying in the mountains for the next few days. Make arrangements for the soldiers below to have free time in the town, and don't forget their daily physical training. Then, follow us up! Observing a battle like this will also be beneficial for you."

After speaking, he took Ace and Luffy and followed Garp's footsteps into the mountains.

As they passed Dadan's base, Dadan was in the open space in front of the house, vigorously wielding her long-handled giant axe in her daily training.

Seeing them proceed into the deep mountains without stopping, she curiously asked:

"Where are you guys going?"

Luffy excitedly answered:

"Uncle is going to fight Grandpa to get revenge for us!"

Dadan's interest was immediately piqued. Whether Mo Xingchen beat up Garp or Garp beat up Mo Xingchen, she would be happy.

As for that old scoundrel Garp, if she could beat him, Dadan would have attacked long ago. Mo Xingchen was the same; the first time she met him, he almost scared her pants off.

Hmph! I, Dadan, am not someone to be trifled with! I am the famous bandit leader of Mt. Colubo! The kind who can scare children to tears! When have I ever put up with such indignity!

So, she quickly gave a few instructions to her subordinates inside the house and followed, shouting:

"I'm coming too, wait for me!"

The group finally found a relatively flat wasteland. Mo Xingchen had Bogard escort the two children to a safe distance.

"Uncle Mo, go! Beat Grandpa, the big bad guy!"

Ace and Luffy shouted loudly from afar, cheering Mo Xingchen on.

Garp looked at Mo Xingchen opposite him, a flicker of nostalgia in his eyes. Over the years, it seemed that the passage of time had left no trace on Mo Xingchen's face; he still had a youthful appearance.

However, compared to their first meeting, Mo Xingchen's temperament was now more refined, and when facing him, Garp could feel a sense of pressure.

He had always been generous and truly hoped that the juniors he favored would grow into top powerhouses on the sea. Therefore, seeing Mo Xingchen now, he genuinely felt the joy of his juniors catching up.

But Garp never felt anxious about being surpassed, because he firmly believed in his own fists. As long as he was there, he was invincible!

"Yohohoho, Mo kid, let me see how far you've grown. Don't disappoint me!"

It was clear that Garp said this because he wanted Mo Xingchen to make the first move, given his absolute confidence.

"Then I won't hold back, Uncle!"

After speaking, Mo Xingchen looked at Garp standing casually opposite him. He seemed to have countless openings, but Mo Xingchen knew that all these supposed openings were bait.

So, he unleashed his strongest spiritual pressure yet on Garp, intending to catch him off guard and see if he could find a real opportunity.

Instantly, it was as if the world had been put on pause! All the sounds of insects and birds chirping disappeared, replaced by a terrifying silence that was suffocating and unsettling.

Bogard, who was protecting the two children, was the first to be hit by this spiritual pressure. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his heart pounded violently, as if he were being stared at by a prehistoric monster, where the slightest movement would invite a devastating attack.

He knew this was without Mo Xingchen intentionally targeting him. He couldn't imagine, nor dare to experience, the impact Vice Admiral Garp was suffering under the concentrated assault!

Seeing Ace and Luffy on the verge of rolling their eyes and fainting, he quickly pulled them back, and also brought along Dadan, who was in a similar state.

Meanwhile, in the center of the field, the moment Mo Xingchen unleashed his spiritual attack, Garp's pupils constricted. He immediately shifted from his casual stance to a defensive boxing posture, thinking to himself:

"Conqueror's Haki?"

Mo Xingchen saw that Garp was not caught off guard and had quickly assumed a defensive stance. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Tsk, as expected of a seasoned veteran with top-tier combat awareness!

Mo Xingchen quickly pondered in his mind. The method he used to fight Koshiro would be completely ineffective against Garp. The cutting power of Sword Qi was bound to be less potent than a blade directly wrapped in Armament Haki.

Moreover, direct slashes might not even break through Garp's Armament Haki, let alone Sword Qi. Besides draining his own stamina, it would be completely useless.

Mo Xingchen wasn't so arrogant as to try and outlast Garp in a contest of Armament Haki. There was no other way; he had to draw his sword and go head-on.

Then, Mo Xingchen stomped his foot down with sudden force, charging towards Garp at his fastest speed. At the same time, he circulated the true qi within his body to its limit, attaching it to Chun Jun.

Using the inertia from his speed, transferring it from his thigh to his hip, and then driving his entire body's strength, he held his sword with both hands and unleashed a move, "Mountain Splitting Force," slashing towards Garp's face.

"Bone Fist: Impact!"

His fist, wrapped in Armament Haki, collided with the sword. With a "boom," a visible, powerful shockwave rapidly spread outwards from the two of them as the center, kicking up sand and stones.

Mo Xingchen's strength was still far inferior to Garp's. In this clash, Garp only retreated half a step, while Mo Xingchen was blasted back about five to six meters.

Fortunately, Mo Xingchen had a general psychological prediction when he made his move. After retreating a few steps, using his left foot as a pivot, he spun in a circle to release the force, then brought his raised right foot down heavily, stomping it onto the ground. With a burst of strength! He attacked Garp once more.
