How big could the meteorite summoned by a smile actually be?
This is a serious issue!
Many people think that it's already quite exaggerated for that meteorite to be several hundred meters tall.
Many people also believe that the meteorite summoned by Yixiao should be at least several kilometers long.
But what if it's even bigger?
Many people are starting to think that if the meteorite is too large, it would be impractical; a meteorite several thousand meters in diameter would be more suitable.
But those are all things we think are appropriate, and a smile is not the smile we think it is!
In Pirate King original One Piece manga, the meteor he summoned in Dressrosa was at least one-third the size of the entire Punk Hazard island.
And how big is Punk Hazard?
It was a large island with a diameter of at least hundreds of kilometers, capable of accommodating hundreds of millions of people of multiple races.
Considering that among these hundreds of millions of people, there are many who are physically much larger than average.
The size of this island is terrifying.
The fact that Yixiao could summon a meteorite that was one-third the size of his already proves that he has the ability to summon meteorites with a diameter of tens of kilometers!
Anime is anime, after all. It's not reality. We can't use common sense from real life to judge the rules of this world.
It's like the Luffy delivered after his Nika Fruit Awakening, the one that finally defeated Kaido.
In that instant, Luffy's fist, which unleashed that Luffy, had already reached a thickness of at least tens of kilometers!
Remember, it's at least!
At this moment, Luffy's fists were completely covered in Armament Haki.
In other words, Luffy, who hasn't even fully mastered Armament Haki, is already able to cover a fist tens of kilometers in size with Armament Haki...
Many things are just that absurd, but that's the reality of the world right now, just like the meteorite that Yixiao threw at Garp at this very moment, which also had a diameter of tens of kilometers.
Faced with a meteorite of such a diameter, Garp simply threw a deck chair at it!
The most outrageous thing was that the moment the recliner hit the meteorite, the meteorite, which was so huge that everyone in the Baratie restaurant was lying on the ground, actually shattered completely!
Boom!!!!!!!
This was a noise level almost exceeding that of a nuclear explosion; this was an impact comparable to a planetary collision!
In a brief moment, blinding light radiated rapidly from the center of the explosion, instantly causing everyone watching to temporarily lose their sight!
At the Baratie restaurant, Red-Leg Zeff sat slumped to the ground, dumbfounded, muttering to himself.
"How... how is this possible?!"
Meanwhile, Sanji, who was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, was instantly stunned by the blinding light outside the window, and then crushed back several steps by the shockwave that swept past!
In the kitchen, the ingredients that were just being prepared and gradually arranged have become even more messy.
Just as Sanji was nearing unconsciousness, still heartbroken over the nearly spoiled ingredients, Baratie Restaurant miraculously stabilized!
Sanji had no idea that at that moment, Garp stomped his right foot hard on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Baratie ship was covered by a layer of swirling black mist!
He actually used his Armament Haki, which is undoubtedly the best in the world, to protect the entire Baratie restaurant!!!
While unleashing his Armament Haki to his heart's content, Garp grinned expectantly as he clenched his fists tightly.
With a cracking sound from his joints, Garp said excitedly.
"This meteorite is really big! Is this the surprise you all wanted for me?!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the distant, shattering meteorite suddenly burst forth with an even more intense burst of light.
Immediately afterward, just as the meteorite's outer surface had shattered, an even more violent explosion suddenly erupted at its center!
In the Pirate King movie, Ben Beckman destroyed a mountain with just one bullet fired at Kizaru.
So now, what Ben Beckman can do, Garp can only do better!
The instant the meteorite shattered completely, Garp's figure had already left the Baratie Restaurant. His feet were planted in the sky, creating a spatial shattering sensation similar to when Whitebeard activated his Tremor-Tremor Fruit!
Over the distant sea, Rayleigh, who was rushing towards the Baratie Restaurant, suddenly had a cold glint flash on his glasses!
"Haha, that bastard accepted our challenge!!!"
"Wow, that's quite a terrifying aura!"
Beside Rayleigh, Ikko, who had presented a meteorite, gripped his sword tightly. In his vision, which made it impossible for him to see the world, Garp's aura was like a hurricane bursting forth from the darkness, or a demon that had been hiding in the shadows and suddenly appeared!
Just sensing Garp's approach, his fingers trembled with excitement!
With a smile, Zephyr, who was stepping into the air while extending his mechanical arm, grinned and said excitedly.
"This is Garp, this is Garp the Hero in the entire Navy!"
If he didn't possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary experts, how could the Five Elders, who treat our Admiral like straw dogs, allow him to act recklessly time and time again?
If he didn't possess the strength that makes us all nervous, how could he, after declining the position of Admiral four times, still be considered by our teacher, Kong, as the most qualified person to succeed him as the commander-in-chief of the entire army!
It is precisely because of such strength that a bastard like him can have a son like Long, who is known as the most dangerous criminal!
It is precisely because of such strength that I am able to serve as Admiral without feeling jealous of him, a guy who has the right to refuse the Five Elders!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zephyr suddenly quickened his pace, leaving the other three far behind in the blink of an eye.
As he charged towards Garp, Zephyr fiercely raised his mechanical fist.
"Garp, my old friend, long time no see! Come and take a hit from my newly developed Z-Shaped Cannon!!!"
With a roar, Zephyr's mechanical arm spat out a tongue of fire, and at the very tip of that flame, a projectile carrying countless explosive materials, with a mass comparable to Dyna Stone, was hurled directly at Garp!
As he watched the rapidly approaching shell, Garp laughed and stretched out his right hand.
"Hahaha, Zephyr, you old codger, you've got some energy again!"
While he was making Zephyr remarks, his fist slammed directly into Zephyr's shell, and an explosion with a diameter of over eighty meters engulfed Garp!
In just a moment, Garp had already passed through the flames, continuing his sprint while taking off his hat!
After tossing the dog-head hat far back into the Baratie restaurant, Garp raised his incredibly black fist and slammed it hard into Zephyr's head!
Seeing Garp's attack, Zephyr cursed and raised his fist.
"You old devil, do you really enjoy hitting people on the head?!"
"Haha, you old devil Zephyr, isn't your head harder than your fists?!"
Thump!!!
Amidst their laughter and banter, and as they shattered the air between them, their fists collided completely.
In just a moment, Zephyr was sent flying backward by Garp's smash!
As he flew backward, Zephyr felt his body in disbelief.
With just one punch, about one-tenth of his Armament Haki was depleted!
As I've emphasized before, on this vast ocean, the weak resort to trickery, ordinary guys rely on Devil Fruit abilities, while the strongest fight with pure stamina!
Because Armament Haki is like a cheat code in the world of Pirate King!
As long as one has sufficient Armament Haki to protect oneself, then no ability or attack can harm the person using Armament Haki!
Just like Trafalgar Law's Devil Fruit ability can easily sever people's flesh, even though Big Mom has a body that is like Iron Balloon, which ordinary people cannot harm, Trafalgar Law can still break through her defenses with his sword!
Even so, Trafalgar Law shouldn't think he can easily hurt Big Mom. As long as Big Mom has enough stamina and enough Armament Haki, she will never be able to be hurt by Law.
In other words, as long as one has a sufficiently strong and skilled Armament Haki, that person is a mini- Superman with built-in invincibility and health-locking abilities until their Armament Haki is nearly exhausted!
Therefore, the battles between the strongest beings on the high seas will depend on how long they can maintain their Armament Haki!
Since everyone's Armament Haki is linked to their physical strength, the battle will not be decided until the monster-level powerhouses collapse from exhaustion!
But how is Armament Haki consumed?
When facing stronger attacks, Armament Haki will naturally be consumed more; when facing elemental attacks, Armament Haki will be continuously depleted.
Gawain's Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit, Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit, and Ace's Mera Mera no Mi.
This type of ability, once used and Awakening, can constantly wear down the enemy, which is why Logia truly surpass most Devil Fruit.
Gawain and his friends' Devil Fruit, which are destructive elemental fruits, are naturally best suited for attrition warfare. As long as the enemy doesn't want to be paralyzed, burned, or frozen, they must constantly use Armament Haki to protect their bodies!
Besides this, how to launch even more powerful attacks is something that every monster-level powerhouse needs to explore.
Throughout history, no monster-level powerhouse has ever been instantly killed by their enemy, but even so, powerful techniques remain the ultimate pursuit for the strong.
The core of battle for top-tier fighters lies in how to make better use of their own body and Armament Haki to deplete the enemy's Armament Haki more quickly!
Whether it's Roger's Divine Departure or Kaido's Ragnaraku, their movements are the most basic swings, but the more basic the swing, the more hidden the content!
Mihawk's basic attack is like a powerful move—that's a universally acknowledged truth. But who can see how many variations of Armament Haki are contained within that simple sword-swinging motion?
Just like Garp's punch now, who can know how many things are hidden in that punch that most people can never understand in their entire lives!
More than twenty years ago, Garp had already defeated the world's toughest Armament Haki, Chinjao's cone-shaped Haki, in a head-on collision.
So, more than twenty years later, will Garp, who has been constantly pushing himself, remain unchanged?
Many people feel that Garp doesn't deserve his reputation because Garp does is throw punches.
But don't forget, even Marco the Phoenix, who is Whitebeard Pirates only to Mihawk and is below the Emperor, couldn't withstand a single punch from Garp!
Garp hasn't faced any of the strongest warriors on this sea for a long time, but at his peak, he was capable of overpowering Roger and competing with Whitebeard for the title of the world's strongest man.
Moreover, Garp wasn't as riddled with injuries as Whitebeard, to the point that he needed IV fluids to stay alive!
Even with Whitebeard in his weakened state delivering a powerful blow, Admiral Sakazuki will be humiliatingly pinned to the ground!
So, is it really true that Garp, who is in far better shape than Whitebeard, has lower attack power than Whitebeard?
It's important to know that during the Summit War, when Three Admirals attacked together...
Garp, as a pillar of the army, sat directly in Akainu's chair to stabilize morale!
If he didn't have the strength, given Akainu's personality—he wouldn't even give Sengoku face—would he allow Garp to sit in his position?
And Zephyr...
Ten years ago, he and Garp might have been able to fight for several hours.
But now...
As Zephyr staggered backward, he stared in agony at his fist. With just one punch, Garp had knocked away a tenth of his Armament Haki!
In other words, based on the power level of that punch, this former Marine Admiral was only Garp!!!
Admittedly, Zephyr was in a much weaker state than the elderly Whitebeard. His illness meant he could no longer fight as he used to, and he himself had suffered a severe injury from losing a hand.
But in any case, he was a former Admiral, the strongest weapon to suppress the sea in that era of monsters!
In the era when Roger, Whitebeard, and Shiki were the Three Emperors of the Sea.
The Marines that fought Roger were Garp, those that fought Whitebeard were Sengoku, and those that fought Shiki were none other than Black Arm Zephyr!!!
He was once one of the pinnacles of the sea, but now he's been left so far behind by his old friend Garp!!!
Just as Zephyr was feeling dejected, Garp, who was rushing towards him at high speed, frowned.
"Old man, it's been a long time since we fought. How did you become so weak?"
Even those juniors Kuzan could probably defeat you easily, right?
You're not even half as good as you were at your peak, hahaha! Let those three guys behind you have their fun with me!
"You!!!"
Hearing Garp's words, Zephyr gritted his teeth. That old man Garp's mouth is still so sharp and outrageous!
Indeed, he had declined significantly, but even so, he could still easily defeat those junior Shichibukai on the ship!
Aside from Gion, Issho, Rayleigh, and Kuma, whom he couldn't defeat, the rest—whether it was Jinbe, Hancock, or Crocodile— were all other opponents.
Those juniors won't get past Zephyr for even half an hour!
So, I'm still quite strong; I'm not as weak as you make me out to be!
In an instant, a tangible black flame ignited in Old Master Zephyr's eyes!!!
Seeing the fire in Zephyr's eyes, Garp grinned and then suddenly lunged forward with a punch.
His movements were always so simple: lunge punch, bow stance punch, advancing punch, retreating punch.
That's all!
But with his incredibly skilled Observation Haki, he could almost always hit his target with a punch!
Even the strongest individuals may experience a decline in physical strength due to age.
But corresponding to this is their ever-deepening combat experience and increasingly skillful use of Observation Haki!
Observation Haki always seems to get better with age; for example, during the Summit War, Akainu only managed to hit Whitebeard twice.
Whitebeard has already pinned Akainu to the ground and beaten him more than three times!
At that time, if Akainu's Observation Haki had been able to dodge Whitebeard's attacks, would he have allowed himself to be thoroughly humiliated by Whitebeard's relentless efforts?
He's the face of the Navy. If he can dodge Whitebeard's attack using Observation Haki, he would never do anything unbecoming!
Therefore, when Whitebeard was serious, even the younger generation of Admiral couldn't compete with him in terms of Observation Haki.
To reiterate, Armament Haki may change with physical strength, but Observation Haki will definitely become more powerful with age!
And so, staring at Garp's fist, Zephyr gritted his teeth, trying to find a weak point in Garp's power.
But can he find it?
Boom!!!
His fist collided with Garp's again.
But is Garp really weak?
How could that be!
In the world of martial arts, Garp is the guy with the fewest weaknesses!
He has no Devil Fruit, no special abilities, and no so-called monster bloodline.
All he had was a pure heart and, even more purely, a fist!
