Do You Want to Fight Hand-to-Hand?

Seeing that his One-Punch Man could not break through Oboro's airflow barrier, Garp instantly retreated and adjusted his posture.

Then, the entire clenched fist of the arm emitted a unique, domineering light.

The person's aura was extremely powerful.

Oboro remained expressionless and instructed the members around him, "The Kuja ship has arrived off the island. You few go and handle it."

"Yes."

Dom, Dorans, and Rob Lucci, along with Waldo, disappeared from the spot.

Only Shiryu and Enel remained, each guarding one direction.

Bare continued to keep Rayleigh in check.

Fist Bone Impact!

Garp leaped into the air, but instead of getting close, he unleashed a devastating One-Punch Man from a distance.

Oboro naturally recognized his move. In the original story, in order to save Koby, Garp went to Pirate Island and fought with Aokiji. This One-Punch Man almost destroyed the buildings and ground in the center of the island.

Its power is extremely terrifying.

At this moment, the sheer intensity of the Haki emanating from that fist was enough to demonstrate its power.

In terms of pure physical prowess and Haki, setting aside his aging body, Garp's level definitely surpasses most of the Yonko, placing him on par with Whitebeard. These are all gifts bestowed upon him by age, experience, and wisdom.

"Not good!"

Shiryu and the others were startled.

They vanished in an instant.

Bare, still holding onto Rayleigh, vanished in an instant.

After the group had moved a safe distance away, they saw the explosive wave from the battlefield erupt from Rusukaina Island. An entire section of the ground was sent flying into the sky like a slab of stone being sheared off, shattering into pieces.

"Is this old man... really that strong?"

Shiryu's eyelids twitched.

He couldn't help but sigh.

At least during the Marineford War, the chaotic scene, the complex mix of factions, and the environment prevented Garp from displaying his full power, making him appear less formidable than he seemed. Now, with the older generation of powerful sea warriors like Golden Lion Shiki and Whitebeard retired, the outside world tends to view Garp and Sengoku with some prejudice and disdain. Therefore, it was only when Garp unleashed his full power that Shiryu was truly impressed.

And on the battlefield.

Oboro stood on a small, protruding patch of ground, the soil around him already shattered by Garp's One-Punch Man.

From the air, the spot where the two stood looked like a depression that had been hit by a meteorite.

It occupies one-fifth of the entire island's area.

However... Oboro is still completely unharmed.

Even at his feet, Luffy remained unconscious and lifeless.

He was also radiating an aura of Haki... However, the Haki aura he released was different from Garp's pure rage and power; instead, it had a coldness and a sharpness that went straight to the depths of the soul.

"Um?"

Garp's pupils dilated slightly.

Unexpectedly, Oboro was completely unharmed.

But this outcome was within his expectations.

To save Luffy, he came alone... Because Luffy is One Piece, and he is a Marine. It's simply unreasonable for a Marine to come and save a One Piece; it violates 'justice' to some extent. Neither the Marines nor the World Government could offer him any help. Therefore, Garp could only come in his 'personal capacity,' not on behalf of the Marines.

Now, he is simply a grandfather trying to save his grandson.

As for the Revolutionary Army... unlike forces like the Yonko, even if the Hell Pirates pose a great threat, the Revolutionary Army would never join forces or form an alliance with the World Government.

The two sides have fundamentally different philosophies.

Unlike the Yonko, who have Shanks as a 'middleman'.

"There's no need to use my abilities if I'm fighting you."

Oboro glanced at Garp and smiled.

It directly removed the airflow surrounding the space.

He no longer intends to use the Qi Refining Technique.

"So confident?"

Garp chuckled.

"I won't hold back. If you don't use your abilities, you might get beaten to death by my fists..."

Garp's expression shifted slightly as he sensed the 'airflow' return to calm.

"Of course, if you fly up into the sky and run away, I really can't do anything about it."

Garp's move was clearly a provocation. He suddenly appeared with lightning speed, trying to catch Oboro off guard and maximize the damage he could inflict, preventing Oboro from escaping with Luffy, which would be troublesome.

"Don't worry... I won't run away."

Oboro saw through Garp's little scheme, and while speaking, he took off his hat and flicked it away.

Then, he loosened his tie and slowly took off his black suit jacket.

"In one of my hometowns... martial arts battles and physical combat are quite common. As for abilities, they can only be considered a part of combat support... We value comprehensiveness more, because if any weakness is exploited by the opponent, it could be fatal."

Long spoke slowly, then untied his tie and rolled up the cuffs of his white shirt.

"As for me, I believe I have some achievements in martial arts... or rather, physical skills... so dealing with you shouldn't be too difficult."

Long grinned, revealing a row of teeth.

A hometown?

What does that mean? Garp was completely confused.

Then, his expression changed drastically.

He observed that Oboro's body temperature continued to rise, and just standing there, he felt like a furnace.

Even the air was distorted due to the high temperature.

"Here we go."

Suddenly, when Garp heard those three words, Oboro had already bent down, leaping up like a cheetah in a blur, and stopped in front of him.

"Um??!!!"

To Garp's astonishment, his Observation Haki detected the movement, but his physical reaction speed couldn't keep up with the opponent's pace.

What kind of technique is this? Garp understood in an instant that this physical technique was similar to the Shave technique in the Six Powers, but it should not be as complicated as the Shave. It's just that such a simple move was used by a man, and the effect was incredible.

Ta Bu is one of the first martial arts techniques that Oboro learned.

Garp contracted his upper body muscles, using Haki for defense, while Oboro's arm seemed to crack like a whip.

"God Fist".

He mumbled two words in his sleep.

Then, the black-clad fist, carrying astonishing energy, slammed into Garp's stomach.

With that One-Punch Man, Garp's facial features began to contort, blood spilled from his seven orifices, and his internal organs suffered a tremendous impact.

Its body sliced through the sky with a sharp sound, flying straight towards the coastline.

The body is completely out of balance.

Garp had not yet had time to adjust his state during the flight.

A figure had already caught up with him at the same speed as he was flying.

Long bent his five fingers, and as he waved his hands, afterimages appeared again. His running posture didn't look like that of a human at all, but more like that of some kind of wild beast.

"Vajra Finger!"

With a flick of his wrist, his fingertips, as hard as crystal, slammed into Garp's flesh, tearing off a large chunk of blood and flesh.

The same intense, intertwined contact left Garp's mind blank.

His extensive experience told him that this junior's physical strength was superior to his own... Moreover, in terms of physical skills, he couldn't 'see through' them with his eyesight.

The so-called inability to see through something means being unable to break through the opponent's moves.

This can only mean one thing: the God Slayer's combat skills are far superior to his.

Why? Garp didn't understand. Considering the age of the God Slayer, even if he experienced different battles every day, it was impossible for him to have honed such a level of physical skill and experience.

Boom! "Cloud Ladder Step"

Garp was knocked away a second time by the Vajra Finger, changing his speed trajectory. Oboro followed up with another martial technique, creating an illusion in the field of vision, as if he really 'floated' up like smoke, but the speed was frightening.

They intercepted Garp once again.

"Acupressure... pulse manipulation."

As he spoke, Oboro's fingers thrust forward, landing heavily on Garp.

Meanwhile, Shiryu couldn't keep up with the captain's speed at all.

Only Enel, using his Devil Fruit ability, was able to barely catch up.

The combat situation that can be captured by the naked eye and Observation Haki is also very limited.

All that could be seen was Garp's body being repeatedly attacked by the 'Invisible Man,' running wildly around the island like a ball being kicked back and forth, until finally... he fell into the sea outside the island, raising a sky full of white waves.

"Hey, hey, hey... no way?"

"That's Garp, the naval hero... He's a legendary figure, not some nobody."

A moment later, Shiryu finally arrived at the coastline, a cigar dangling from his lips, looking surprised, and exhaling sharply.
