"Nice strength." Garp grinned, taking off his Justice cape.
Although Patri Vic's punch landed, it meant nothing to Garp.
"My Haki is still too weak," Patri Vic clenched his fist helplessly.
He had only recently mastered Haki, so it wasn't profound. Compared to Garp, his Haki was far inferior.
"Vic, want to join our Navy!" Garp asked, approaching Vic step by step.
"Are you kidding me? I'm a Pirate," Patri Vic was slightly stunned, then replied after a moment of silence.
He truly hadn't expected Garp to say something like that.
"Pirates can also abandon the dark and turn to the light. While the path isn't completely closed off, abandon the dark and turn to the light," Garp continued to invite.
"Hey, you damn Navy, Vic belongs to us, the Rocks Pirates."
Before Patri Vic could speak, Whitebeard, who was fighting in the distance, became displeased.
"Don't dream, Garp," Patri Vic replied with a slight shake of his head.
"What a shame." Garp sighed.
"Bang!"
The two instantly vanished from their spots. Their fists collided, sending up thick smoke.
Meanwhile, the entire Menglas Allied Nation was in chaos. After all, many strong Navy figures had already arrived.
And Rocks had encountered a Navy Admiral.
"Today is your end, Rocks."
In a certain city within the Menglas Allied Nation, Navy Admiral Krieg had found Rocks.
"You Navy are truly troublesome. We just robbed an Allied Nation and killed a Celestial Dragon, and you're still chasing us to kill us?" Rocks responded with a scornful sneer.
"What, you killed a Celestial Dragon!" Krieg was slightly shocked.
They had no knowledge of this. They had only received intel that the Rocks Pirates' target was the Menglas Allied Nation.
But they hadn't expected them to have killed a Celestial Dragon!
"You are truly lawless, Rocks. If I don't kill you today, I can't report back to my superiors," Krieg said grimly, his expression cold.
"Blah blah blah, try it if you have the guts," Rocks said dismissively, drawing the blade at his waist.
His current objective was money. He was too lazy to clash with a Navy Admiral, but that didn't mean he feared one.
On the other side, Patri Vic and Garp's battle was raging.
In terms of Haki mastery, Body Technique, and strength, Patri Vic was clearly at a disadvantage.
"Such powerful strength."
Patri Vic was repelled by Garp's punch. He shook his slightly numb fist. It was no wonder he was called "Fist of Iron" in the future.
Even with his fist covered in Haki, after a prolonged fight, it still felt numb and painful.
"Stubborn. Then I'll send you to our Navy prison." Garp said confidently.
"You can try," Patri Vic replied calmly.
"Oh? You have other powers?" Garp questioned with a smile.
In Garp's view, the purple steam covering Patri Vic was the power of a Devil Fruit.
Although powerful, he could still handle it. He wondered what other tricks Patri Vic could pull.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Patri Vic spat out a giant fireball, radiating intense heat, and sent it towards Garp.
Feeling the scorching heat emanating from the fireball, a bead of sweat appeared on Garp's forehead. He leaped up, dodging the attack.
Patri Vic instantly charged forward, his arm covered in Haki, and delivered a heavy blow to Garp's face.
"Bang!"
Garp's body instantly crashed to the ground, creating a sizable pit and sending up billowing smoke.
"Garp!"
Sengoku was greatly alarmed at this sight.
"Don't look around while fighting."
Whitebeard's fist, covered in white, vibrating power, smashed towards Sengoku.
"Crack!"
The surrounding air shattered, revealing dense cracks like broken glass, which began to fracture in extremely distorted shapes.
The immense power struck Sengoku's body, sending him flying backward.
"Is flame your Devil Fruit's power? Then what's with the purple steam on you?"
Garp stood up from the deep pit, a little surprised.
He never expected Patri Vic to be able to unleash the power of flame.
"You guess." Patri Vic calmly shrugged and replied.
"Could it be a dual Devil Fruit user?" A cold sweat broke out on Garp's forehead.
The Navy's library once recorded a user with two Devil Fruits, but that was history.
He thought it was fake before, but after seeing Patri Vic, he was sure it was real.
Patri Vic was the person with that kind of physique!
"I haven't eaten any Devil Fruit," Patri Vic replied truthfully.
All his abilities were obtained by unlocking the completion level of Hashirama Senju.
Eating a Devil Fruit is indeed good for rapidly increasing strength, but it has one drawback: it turns you into a landlubber.
So, he didn't choose to eat a Devil Fruit at this time.
"Don't fool me, Vic. Do you think I don't know? You're a Devil Fruit user," Garp sneered.
Patri Vic shrugged helplessly; he had already told the truth.
"Vic, are you really not going to join the Navy?" Garp asked, taking a deep breath.
Such a talented powerhouse, if he joined their Navy, he would surely be nurtured as a priority, especially with such a special physique.
"It's a shame you're not joining the Rocks Pirates. You could have become a great pirate," Patri Vic teased.
"I will never become a pirate," Garp replied.
"Likewise, I will never become a Navy officer," Patri Vic said calmly.
Being a pirate is so free. Becoming a Navy officer means being constrained everywhere, and having to protect the so-called descendants of creation, the Celestial Dragons.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Seeing Garp's rapidly approaching figure, Patri Vic opened his mouth and spat out a sea of fire.
The ferocious flames, like devils from the abyss, instantly engulfed Garp's entire body.
The scorching heat was felt even by Sengoku and Whitebeard nearby.
"The surrounding temperature... has risen quite a bit," Whitebeard said, slightly stunned.
"Garp," Sengoku muttered with a grave expression.
However, he didn't have time to manage Garp right now, as he had a formidable enemy in front of him.
"Great Buddha Form!"
Sengoku's body was enveloped in golden light. Using his Devil Fruit power, his body became immensely large.
This form greatly increased both attack power and defense.
