Newgate had just launched his desperate counterattack when Garp had already forcefully suppressed its power. Then, using Newgate -Murakumogiri, Garp slightly dodged and moved into Newgate's arms, delivering a powerful Fist Bone Clash.
Seeing the fist suddenly coming at him, Newgate switched to holding the knife in one hand, and then used his free hand to grab Garp's fist tightly!
"Quake Shock!!!"
With a roar, Newgate gripped Garp's fist and exerted tremendous force, causing Garp's clothes to tear apart rapidly with a buzzing sound of air vibration.
Feeling the constant vibrations acting on his body, Garp opened his mouth wide and grinned fiercely.
"Haha, you're not so easy to defeat after all!"
It's truly a pleasure to have met guys like you in my life!
Justice Knee Strike!
Boom!!!
Garp's knee slammed into Newgate's stomach, sending Newgate's enormous body staggering backward for dozens of meters.
But Newgate won't fall so easily; taking a knee strike is nothing to him.
Seeing Garp chasing after him, Newgate smiled excitedly. Sure enough, an old guy like him only gets the most enjoyment of fighting to the death with his own generation of old guys!
As for the younger generation...
It's not that they aren't strong enough.
They're just easily defeated and not very good at fighting!
Just as Garp and Newgate were locked in a fierce battle, the battlefield descended into a true fight to the death.
Countless marines gritted their teeth as they watched Garp's retreating figure.
"The naval heroes have joined the battle!"
"Vice Admiral Garp!"
"It's Vice Admiral Garp!"
"Is Vice Admiral Garp that strong? He can actually overpower Whitebeard!"
"Even Admiral Sakazuki was being overwhelmed by Whitebeard!"
"You're still too young. With Vice Admiral Garp joining the war, victory is not far off!"
"Incredibly strong, Vice Admiral!"
"As expected, the Vice Admiral is the strongest!"
"Follow Vice Admiral Garp, kill them all!!!"
The Navy was incredibly excited about Garp's participation in the war. Garp's actions truly proved to countless young marines that the old Vice Admiral, whom they had never seen fight before, was still the Navy's number one fighting force!
Unfortunately, Garp has been mostly active Four Blues these past few years.
Or rather, he almost exclusively operates in the East Blue.
It's quite unusual for pirates who have fallen to Garp over the years to have bounties exceeding 100 million.
Furthermore, Garp has a carefree personality and is very inattentive, whether he's capturing or guarding pirates.
Even someone like Morgan could injure Garp!
It's easy to imagine just how lazy and irresponsible Garp would be if the intensity of the attack were low enough.
In short, while Garp still retains the title of a naval hero, he is inevitably subject to questioning from the newcomers who have joined the navy in recent years.
No one questioned Garp's reputation as a hero; people just wondered if Garp was too old and no longer had the fighting power.
But as it turns out, once on the battlefield, Garp is still the only Marine who can stand up to Whitebeard and the others!
So far, in the Pirate King storyline, the only character who can completely overpower Marine Admiral...
Honestly, there are only two people like that: Whitebeard and Garp!
Summit War, Whitebeard was hitting Akainu on the head.
During the rescue operation on Beehive Island, Garp was hitting Aokiji on the head.
Aside from these two, even Shanks' appearance was limited to pointing a knife at Kizaru's neck.
Whitebeard and Garp hold a significant place in Pirate King Old Thief Oda's heart.
That's scorpion poop, it's poisonous!
Meanwhile, it was clear Whitebeard Garp had not only held off Whitebeard, but had even gained a slight advantage in their battle.
The pirates' morale immediately dropped slightly.
On a distant pirate ship, a woman of extremely short stature watched as she was slightly at a disadvantage, forced to fend for herself against Garp's Whitebeard.
She gave a disgruntled snort.
"Snort!
Whitebeard has really fallen from grace; he couldn't even handle Garp!
Weevil, my dear son, you are no longer a father I can rely on!
Or perhaps, he should be the one relying on you!
After saying that, the woman looked excitedly at the bewildered Weevil.
Meeting his mother's gaze, Weevil tilted his head in confusion.
"Oh...
Dad can't beat him anymore...?
Wow, they're so strong...
"I'm sure I'm no match for someone like that..."
Whitebeard has always held Weevil in the highest esteem; after all, given his current intelligence, he believes whatever his mother says.
His mother kept telling him, "Your father, Whitebeard, is the World's Strongest Man. Your father, Whitebeard, is the most perfect man in the world. Your father, Whitebeard, is the most treacherous man in the world. You must inherit everything from your father, Whitebeard, and you must become stronger to inherit everything!"
Although he was a bit unfaithful, Weevil knew that his father was the man in the world most worthy of his respect.
So now, even his own Pops can only fight Garp to a standstill, so he... he definitely won't be a match for Garp...
Okay, this Weevil doesn't care even if he encounters Admiral. Eight hundred years ago, under his mother's leadership, he teamed up with Doflamingo to wipe out Zephyr's entire crew.
As a result, when faced with Garp, whom he didn't recognize, and simply because Whitebeard had suffered a brief setback, he actually lost his will to fight...
This is arguably the biggest drawback of idol worship education; once the object of worship becomes problematic, the child's inner world can easily collapse...
Hearing Weevil's hesitant words, Mrs. Baggins stomped her foot on Weevil 'Weevil shoulder in displeasure.
"My foolish son, no matter how powerful Whitebeard is, he's old now!"
Aging is an inevitable disaster for everyone; your father is getting old, while you are at the peak of your life.
So, my son, in this war, let my lover, the man who loves me most, see what you're capable of!
Let your father witness firsthand just how powerful you can be!
You... you've surpassed him in his youth!!!
As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Bakkin gave Weevil a hard slap on the head.
As she waved, her leopard-print cape fluttered in the wind—her signature style!
Just as heaven cannot exist without angels.
The beautiful Miss Bakkin couldn't be without leopard print!
Upon hearing his mother's words, Weevil first narrowed his eyes longingly, and then immediately charged forward.
"Mom, hold on tight, I'm going to help my father right now!"
"What?!?"
Miss Bakkin was nearly shaken off her feet; she grabbed her son's ear and yelled.
"Put your mother down before you go into battle!"
Mom can't stand this battlefield!!!
Amidst Miss Bakkin's screams, Weevil resolutely charged into the battlefield between Garp and Whitebeard.
Facing the gust of wind created by Garp and Whitebeard's clash, Weevil swung his Naginata and unleashed a powerful downward slash.
Garp paused for a moment, then chuckled, as he looked at the new Naginata so close to him.
"Hahaha, Whitebeard, is this really your son, you son?!"
Is this really your taste?
You like old-fashioned dishes too? Hahaha, that's so exciting!!!
Amidst a burst of laughter, Garp launched a flying kick, sending Weevil's Naginata flying.
Seeing that Garp was about to attack Weevil, Whitebeard looked embarrassed and quickly stepped forward to shield Weevil and Miss Bakkin behind him.
With his back to Miss Bakkin, the Whitebeard took a deep breath and continued speaking.
"Buckingham, this is not a battlefield for you and him. You can't handle a legendary marine like Garp!"
Go elsewhere and find other, more suitable enemies!
Also, be careful, try not to die here!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Whitebeard couldn't help but turn around and look nostalgically at Miss Bakkin's cloak.
Yes, it's his favorite leopard print.
But who knows that the reason he likes leopard print is actually because of that woman?
I was nineteen years old then, and that woman was twenty-one.
Having just had his pirate crew scattered by Rocks, he had no choice but to Rocks Pirates.
While he was still a prospective crew member, that woman was already a scientist in the Rocks Pirates.
She has a sexy figure, a wild personality, a perfect face, a cat-like soul, and an extremely alluring leopard-print outfit.
In addition, she also has beautiful long, straight blonde hair!
At that time, the young Whitebeard fell deeply in love with the young Buckingham Stussy!
Although Miss Bakkin's current appearance is truly unsightly.
But that's Oda's style, sigh...
The women in Oda's works are the most beautiful when they are young, and the less attractive they are when they grow old.
As for what Miss Bakkin really looked like...
On the one hand, we can look at the appearance of Miss Bakkin when she was young by looking at the dead Stussy.
Because Stussy is the first clone developed by Vegapunk, Stussy, Judge, and others.
And the character Stussy was the younger version of Buckingham Stussy from back then!
Of course, since they are just clones, there may be differences in appearance between Stussy and Miss Bakkin.
In the manga, Miss Bakkin's appearance in her youth was also shown once during the Wano Country arc.
When Kurozumi Higurashi was bewitching Orochi, she conjured up three human faces.
One image depicts Shiki, another shows Orochi himself, and the third features a blonde woman of unknown identity.
In reality, the Shiki and the blonde woman he transformed into were both important members of the Rocks Pirates back then.
And that blonde woman was none other than Stussy, who still sported her long, straight blonde hair back then.
It must be admitted that, no matter how unattractive she may be now, Stussy was once considered one of the top three beauties in the world.
Her beauty was in no way inferior to that of Kozuki Toki.
At the same time, she also possesses wisdom far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Could a woman like that attract a young Whitebeard?
That's absolutely amazing!!!
Standing behind the Whitebeard, Miss Bakkin remained silent for a moment.
In that instant, her eyes seemed to reflect everything from her youth.
After a moment of silence, she spoke with a grim expression.
"Damn it, you finally saw this pathetic side of me."
Time is a damned sword, always inflicting pain on women favored by heaven and earth that is infinitely more agonizing than being struck by swords and axes.
I originally planned that as long as you, my little brother, were alive, I would never appear in front of you again.
You were on the verge of death, yet you still had to pull off this major event that couldn't be missed.
This is truly... truly embarrassing!
At this point, Miss Bakkin turned away dejectedly, refusing to look at the Whitebeard any longer.
Seeing this, the Whitebeard man simply picked up his Naginata and moved to a different spot, standing in front of Miss Bakkin.
At this moment, Miss Bakkin felt like crying, but she couldn't cry at all, so she gave a wry smile to the Whitebeard in a sorry state.
"Sister, you look so disheveled, don't you?"
I was originally planning to toy with you for the rest of my life.
In the end...
In the end, I was the one who got played, played to the point that I even had a child with you, and I still felt like I could never leave you, you bastard, for the rest of my life!
At this point, Miss Bakkin also came to terms with it. She suddenly put her hands on her hips and once again adopted her domineering attitude.
"Hey, little Newgate, now that we've met, I don't care how disgusting I look right now."
In short, look, our son has come back to life. He's doing just fine and even has the strength you had when you were young!
So, shouldn't you hand over control of your pirate crew to your own son?
You wouldn't really want your bunch of hapless godson sons to inherit your most precious treasure, would you?
"That's impossible!"
Hearing Miss Bakkin's words, the Whitebeard shook his head decisively.
At this point, Whitebeard's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.
Was Weevil actually his son?
Of course!
Someone like Whitebeard, who loves his son so much, would surely have his own biological son unless he's physically ill!
Only...
Seeing Miss Bakkin's disapproving expression, the Whitebeard sadly shook his head.
"I don't know how you brought Weevil back from hell."
But I know that the Weevil standing before me now is no longer the son we had back then!
"Damn it, damn it all, Whitebeard!"
Look at the stupid things you're saying!
Weevil is our son; he crawled out of hell and endured countless pains and torments.
Instead of pitying him, you're insulting him here! You deserve to die, Whitebeard!
That's your son!!!
"My son is dead. Weevil died when he was seven years old!"
That was my fault. I didn't take good care of him, and I didn't take good care of you either!
But we must accept reality: Weevil has gone to the world of the dead!
As for this Weevil in front of me...
Are you sure he's an adult? He looks exactly like he did when he was seven!
He...
This goes against the rules of nature!
He's not my son!!!
