In the sea of fire before Patri Vic, a figure slowly walked out.
"So hot," Garp grumbled, his body covered in Armament Haki.
Patri Vic smiled slightly, as if this outcome was within his expectations.
"I can't let you grow stronger, or the Navy will be in a lot of trouble."
Garp looked at Patri Vic before him with a solemn expression and said earnestly.
A few months ago, Garp had fought him on Hachinosu Island.
At that time, Patri Vic was a rookie who hadn't even mastered Armament Haki.
But now, his strength had undergone a drastic change.
His speed had improved far too quickly.
Garp didn't waste any more words and charged at Patri Vic again.
"Bang!"
Their fists collided, releasing powerful air currents that swept in all directions.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Their fists continued to collide. At this point, Garp was fighting with his full attention.
The clash of pure physical strength between two true men lasted for a full hour.
Garp's powerful Haki made Patri Vic's entire body go numb.
"Wood Release: All-Encompassing Bags!"
Patri Vic's body flew backward, choosing not to continue clashing head-on with Garp.
Behind Garp, a giant hand appeared.
"Boom!"
The giant hand towered behind Garp, like a mountain, pressing down heavily with a thunderous roar.
"Crack!"
Garp was crushed underneath, but the next moment, Garp swung his fist and shattered the giant hand.
His expression was solemn, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. His face couldn't remain calm as he stared at Patri Vic and questioned in a deep voice, "Is this truly the power of a human?"
The purple mist covering his body, the surging power of flames, and now the ability to control a giant wooden hand out of thin air.
These were three completely different powers. If one power was a Devil Fruit, then Patri Vic was a monster who had consumed three Devil Fruits.
This had never happened in history.
Patri Vic, who possessed three fruits, was he truly human?
"What do you think? Garp," Patri Vic replied nonchalantly.
"How is this possible? Why can you use three different abilities?" What Garp saw and heard today felt like a dream.
He believed he had encountered a monster who had eaten three Devil Fruits.
"You guess," Patri Vic responded with composure.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have found the secret of the Devil Fruits," Garp's shocked heart still couldn't calm down.
Patri Vic didn't waste any more words with Garp and shouted.
"Wood Style: Wood Dragon Technique!"
Beside him, a massive Wood Dragon appeared.
Its body was enormous, covered in spikes, with long fangs and sharp claws, and a long, hooked nose.
Its entire being was filled with shocking power.
Under Patri Vic's control, the Wood Dragon flew like a swift arrow, attacking Garp.
Facing such a giant Wood Dragon, Garp didn't dare to be careless, his body covered in Armament Haki.
"Bang!"
Garp's fist collided with the Wood Dragon's hooked nose, but the next moment, the Wood Dragon's sharp claws attacked Garp.
Even though his body was covered in Armament Haki, the Wood Dragon's claws still drew several bloody gashes.
"Boom!"
Veins bulged on Garp's arm as he leaped up and landed a heavy punch on the Wood Dragon's head, shattering it.
But before the Wood Dragon shattered, it lunged at Garp, its long fangs piercing Garp's body.
If not for the Haki covering him, Garp's body might have been impaled by now.
"Wood Style Wood Golem Technique!!!"
Patri Vic grinned, and a giant wooden Arhat appeared beneath him.
His face was ferocious, like an evil spirit, with a pair of sharp fangs on either side of his mouth. A giant dragon was coiled around his body.
And Patri Vic stood on the forehead of the Wood Dragon.
"????? This... this guy's Devil Fruit ability can do this?" Garp, his body dripping blood, shouted in exasperation.
The commotion from Patri Vic's side was significant, drawing the attention of Sengoku and Whitebeard, who were fighting not far away.
"This is the first time I've seen Vic unleash this kind of power."
Whitebeard turned his head and saw the extremely massive Wood Dragon.
"Is this kid a monster?" Sengoku broke out in a cold sweat.
"The battle is about to end, Garp."
The Wood Golem Technique was currently Patri Vic's strongest power.
The giant wooden figure ran rapidly across the ground. Despite its massive size, its speed was not slow at all.
Quickly approaching Garp, the Wood Dragon swung its colossal fist, as thick as a pillar, to attack Garp.
"Boom!"
The giant wooden figure's punch created a large pit, and the entire ground shook as if a minor earthquake had occurred.
Garp reacted quickly and had already left his original position. Otherwise, that blow would have inflicted considerable damage on him.
"Vic!" Garp stepped into the air, rapidly approaching Patri Vic atop the Wood Dragon.
He knew that defeating the wooden figure was almost impossible, so he needed to deal with Patri Vic first.
"Slap!"
Patri Vic's expression was calm as he controlled the wooden figure to clap its hands together, trapping Garp.
"Terrifying strength."
Even with the Wood Dragon clapping with all its might, Garp still used the strength of his arms to push the giant palms apart.
The wooden figure directly clenched its fist and violently threw Garp out. A beautiful arc streaked across the sky as Garp's body slammed heavily onto the ground.
"Bang!"
A loud noise echoed, like a falling meteorite. Garp lay in the center of the pit, gasping for breath.
Even though his body was covered in Armament Haki, he still sustained considerable damage.
"It's over, Garp."
Patri Vic stood on the wooden figure's forehead, walked to the edge of the pit, and said calmly, looking down at Garp.
"Damn it!"
Garp stood up, his face contorted in ferocity.
