Ares: Who's the strongest among you?

Diving headfirst into the sea, Ares used the swimming skills he had just learned from Sebastian to quickly swim towards the Marine warship.

On the Marine warship.

A man in a black suit, his full and sturdy muscles stretching the suit taut, stood tall and straight. The white coat of justice on his back fluttered in the sea breeze.

He grinned, revealing his two rows of white teeth, an excited smile appearing on his face, "I didn't expect to encounter both the Byrnndi World Pirates and a Rocks Pirates executive at the same time!"

"Excellent!!"

"Traveling the sea was getting a little boring anyway, so I'll play with them a bit!"

"And then send them to prison!"

He placed his hands horizontally in front of him, moving his fingers and wrists, making a series of cracking sounds as his joints popped.

"Can I finally fight? I, Monkey D. Dragon, will eliminate those evil pirates!"

At this moment, a slightly immature voice rang out, filled with intense courage and fighting spirit.

The speaker was a boy, a little over a meter tall, with a somewhat "fierce" face and fair skin.

But as soon as he said these words, a fist the size of a sandbag landed on his head, making a loud thud.

A purplish bump immediately appeared on Dragon's forehead.

"Ouch!!! That hurts!!!"

The punch immediately made Dragon hug his head and squat down, screaming miserably.

The surrounding Marines were so frightened that they fell silent, cold sweat pouring down their backs.

Marine Vice Admiral Garp's loud voice also rang in Dragon's ears, "You can only participate in battles when you've learned Rokushiki!"

"You're still a child; you can't join battles like this!"

The enemies were the powerful Byrnndi World Pirates and a Rocks Pirates executive. With Dragon's strength, he would just be throwing his life away.

Garp didn't hesitate to give Dragon a profound lesson: the Iron Fist of Love!

Garp, who had punched Dragon, didn't care about Dragon's resentful gaze, calmly sticking his finger into his nostril and glancing sideways at Dragon.

Dragon immediately turned his head away, clenching his fists tightly, muttering from his mouth with extreme reluctance, "Still treating me like a child, damn it!!"

At this time, he was still a thirteen-year-old boy, wearing a white sailor suit without any rank insignia.

Garp also turned his gaze to Byrnndi World and Rocks Pirates executive Ochoku, who were fighting on the pirate ship in the distance at sea.

He said with an excited expression, "This time, we'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop!!"

Suddenly.

Garp's expression shifted, his keen senses seeming to detect something, and he grinned, "Looks like someone's coming to cause trouble!"

Dragon immediately stretched his head and looked around, feeling puzzled.

As Garp's voice fell, a huge, bald head reflecting the sunlight popped up from the side of the ship.

Ares was quick.

In a few strokes, he climbed over the ship's side and appeared on the deck of the Marine warship.

His appearance, with his large, bulging muscles and huge body, coupled with the extremely fierce, wild, and violent aura emanating from his whole body.

Brought an extremely strong sense of oppression to the Marines!

Immediately caused a burst of panic and commotion among the Marines on the deck.

"A pirate!!! But how did he get here?!"

"Who is this guy? Doesn't he know this is Vice Admiral Garp's warship?!"

"So tall and big, does this guy have Giant Tribe blood?!"

"Those muscles are too big, they're like bronze!!"

"··········"

In an instant, dozens of muskets were aimed at Ares, their black muzzles pointed at him.

Dragon looked at the man who had appeared in front of him with confusion, muttering to himself, "Why did this guy come to the Marine warship alone?"

Weren't the pirates over there still fighting?

Garp said casually to Ares, "Kid, want to join the Marines?"

"You've got a great physique!! You'll definitely become an outstanding Marine in the future!!"

Hearing this, the faces of the Marines on the ship, including Dragon, instantly darkened, and black lines appeared on their foreheads.

Ares looked at Garp, and as expected.

The person in front of him was the highest-ranking officer on this Marine warship. Facing dozens of muskets, he said calmly, "No, I won't join the Marines."

"I am a pirate!"

Then, his fierce eyes swept around and asked, "Who's the strongest here?"

"Let him come and fight me!!"

Hearing these arrogant words, Dragon instantly flew into a rage, turning his head to look at his old man, but a huge snot bubble appeared on Garp's nose.

He was asleep!!!

Dragon was speechless. This big, hulking pirate was so loud, yet his old man could still fall asleep.

Unbelievable.

"What are you standing around for?! Fire!" Dragon roared at the marines on the deck, extremely dissatisfied.

Instantly.

The marines on the deck pulled the triggers of their muskets one after another.

Bang, bang, bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

Dozens of black lead bullets shot towards Ares at high speed!

Ares also reacted immediately, his arm instantly completing its unique Armament Haki, suddenly turning scarlet, with wisps of white hot air rising, looking extremely terrifying.

He stretched out his arm and waved it in front of him, and the bullets clattered to the ground.

"What... what kind of monster is this?!" Dragon stared at Ares, who was more than ten meters away, his eyes wide, his arm suddenly turning into such a strange state.

This greatly surprised and shocked him, even musket bullets were useless against it.

The surrounding marines were also startled.

Ares, having blocked all the bullets, also moved, directly jumping into the air, and punching hard at the sleeping Garp.

Garp, with no reaction, was sent flying with a punch, crashing into the ship's cabin with a bang.

All of this made Ares very puzzled and confused.

"Vice Admiral Garp!"

"Vice Admiral Garp!"

"..."

The soldiers on the ship stared dumbfounded at the pirate who had knocked Vice Admiral Garp away.

"Damn it!"

"Go to hell! Pirate!"

Filled with a bellyful of passion and justice, Dragon punched towards Ares's thigh.

Bang!

A dull sound came, and Dragon felt as if he had punched steel, his hand hurt so much!

A thought rose in his mind: is this guy even human?

Just then.

Ares's leg suddenly turned red and hot, instantly causing Dragon to feel a burning pain, and he subconsciously withdrew his arm.

"So hot!"

"Is this a Devil Fruit ability?!"

Before he could react, a red-hot foot, like a branding iron, slammed into his face with a bang.

A sizzling sound of burning rang out.

Dragon suddenly felt a strong, stimulating pain sweeping through his nerves, followed by a blank mind, and he lost consciousness.

And his figure instantly flew out like a shooting star.

He flew past Garp, who had just walked out of the cabin, and smashed through several wooden walls with a loud crash.

Garp picked his nose, looking blank and asking, "What happened?!"

Looking at the deck.

He felt like something was missing, and then he suddenly realized and asked, "Where's Dragon?"

"Did that kid get scared away?!"

I ask for support from my fellow book lovers, give me encouragement and power generation with love.

Thank you all for your gifts, I love you!
