For Pirates, Garp Was the True Devil!

"Oh, right."

As if he had just remembered something, Cavendish put down the documents in his hand, looked at Xi Yan with a smile, and said, "I remember you're also from D Area, aren't you?"

"Um."

Xi Yan turned to Cavendish and showed him his number and digits, indicating that the other party was right.

"Interesting."

Cavendish said, "Since we've had a fairly good conversation, I can give you a chance to go down on your own."

He found the guy somewhat agreeable, so giving him a chance to leave unscathed wasn't out of the question.

"That won't be necessary," Xi Yan said with a smile. "I'm very strong too."

"That's right!"

Luffy raised his head and said, "He doesn't need you to hold back. The championship is definitely ours!"

They're here for the championship; what kind of behavior would it be to let others hold back?

"Oh, okay then."

Cavendish wasn't annoyed; instead, he showed an appreciative expression, clearly thinking the two men had good personalities.

Cavendish then turned his gaze to King Elizabello II and continued, "By the way... do you know about the King's Punch?"

"The King's Punch?"

Both Xi Yan and Luffy looked confused, clearly neither of them had ever heard of this thing.

Cavendish looked on helplessly. Just how ignorant were these two?

"What is that?" Luffy asked curiously.

"It's that King Elizabello II's move," Cavendish, raising his chin and pointing at King Elizabello II. "I heard he can destroy a fortress with a single punch using this move."

"Some even say that this move can defeat Four Emperors!"

At the end, Cavendish's face showed a hint of emotion, and he continued, "I just don't know if it's true or not."

If it truly possessed that kind of power, defeating most competitors shouldn't be a problem.

I just don't know what the conditions are for activating the King's Punch.

Luffy stared at Cavendish in shock and asked, "You can defeat Four Emperors?"

"Wow, that's amazing!"

So, isn't this guy named King Elizabello II also a Four Emperors- level figure?

If that's the case, then this time it will be much more difficult to steal the Devil Fruit.

However, Luffy showed no fear; on the contrary, he became even more excited.

Isn't that more fun?

"I've only heard about it," Cavendish said, shaking his head.

There is indeed such a claim, but the opponent has never actually defeated one of the Four Emperors, so he cannot confirm whether the opponent truly possesses that kind of strength.

"That's probably nonsense," Xi Yan said, stroking his chin. "Although I've never fought against one of the Four Emperors, I have fought against Marine Admiral."

"And the Four Emperors are those who can fight against Marine Admiral without being at a disadvantage!"

"That kind of person... is not someone who needs protection to be defeated."

Can a single strike destroy a fortress?

This seems to be standard practice for the Four Emperors.

Therefore, Xi Yan really didn't think that this King Elizabello II was any particularly powerful figure.

"You even fought with Marine Admiral?" Cavendish looked at Xi Yan in surprise and said, "You're just bragging."

Monsters of that level are not something an ordinary person can easily fool.

Xi Yan didn't explain, he just smiled at Cavendish.

Cavendish interpreted this as embarrassment at being exposed.

He rolled his eyes and said, "So what are you bragging about?"

After shaking his head, Cavendish turned his gaze back to the arena and said with some emotion, "The prizes this time are quite generous... I just wonder if Apoo and the others will participate in this competition. If they do, I can take care of them all at once."

Listening to Cavendish's words, Xi Yan focused his gaze on the Wanted Order in the other's hand, which was covered in Swords and knife marks.

He could tell that Cavendish a deep-seated hatred for this New Era of Supernovas.

Then, as if he had just thought of something, Xi Yan chuckled and said, "If the Four Emperors and the Spade Pirates came here, would you also take care of them?"

"The Four Emperors?"

"The Spade Pirates?"

Cavendish hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm not interested in the Four Emperors, but the Spade Pirates..."

At this point, Cavendish paused, and at the same time, the image of Fire Fist Ace appeared in his mind.

Then, he grinned and said, "This guy may not be as appealing to me as the New Era, but... if I can defeat this descendant of the Pirate King, I'll definitely get a lot of attention."

The Son of the Pirate King has been in the newspapers quite a few times, so defeating him is indeed a good choice!

"Is that so?"

Xi Yan first glanced at Luffy with a smile, and after finding that the guy wasn't angry, he continued to look at Cavendish and said, "Then you'd better do your best."

"That man is very strong."

Although we don't know how powerful Ace is now, he's definitely not someone this guy can mess with.

At least this man's aura wasn't as strong as I'd imagined.

"I will succeed!" Cavendish snorted.

Strong?

He's stronger!

This time, Xi Yan simply smiled and said nothing more.

Then, he turned to look at Luffy and said, "Why aren't you angry at all?"

He had initially thought that the other party would be enraged by Ace's situation and attack Cavendish.

"I don't think Ace will lose to him," Luffy said. "Besides... there can only be one winner in this competition."

His idea was simple.

First of all, Ace is very strong and will not be easily defeated by others.

Secondly, only one person can win this competition, so he will defeat this strange guy fairly and squarely during the competition!

At that time, he would no longer have the opportunity to challenge Ace.

"That makes sense," Xi Yan said, stroking his chin.

If Cavendish were defeated here, he would naturally have no chance to challenge Ace, so it's normal that Luffy doesn't care about such things.

Having understood this, Xi Yan said nothing more.

Cavendish gave Luffy and Xi Yan a strange look. Could it be that these two knew Fire Fist Ace?

Ah, how interesting.

However... their thinking was flawed from the very beginning!

My strength is definitely above that of Fire Fist Ace!

Thinking of this, Cavendish's lips began to curl upwards uncontrollably, clearly already conjuring up some pleasant images.

Just then, heavy footsteps sounded from behind, immediately attracting the attention of the three.

"Um?"

She glanced back at Xi Yan, a look of surprise in her eyes.

If I remember correctly, this old man's name is something like 'Leader Chinjao '. What's he doing here?

Could it be... that they're here to watch the game too?

But why choose the location where those three are?

He was a little curious.

"Oh my, this is the Audience seats." Chinjao chuckled as he approached the three, surveying the arena below, and remarked, "You can really see clearly here."

It has to be said, these three people really know how to pick a location.

"What are you doing, uncle?" Luffy struggled and asked.

Luffy and Cavendish, squeezed together by Green Chinjao, both had somewhat distorted expressions.

Meanwhile, Xi Yan, looking at Chinjao through the window, was filled with curiosity, secretly pondering the guy's purpose.

"Oops, I'm sorry I bumped into you."

Realizing he had bumped into the two of them, Chinjao took a few steps back, then said to Luffy in a seemingly relaxed tone, "Speaking of which... how is Mr. Garp's health, Straw Hat Luffy?"

"Um?"

Cavendish was stunned. Who was this guy asking?

Luffy looked at Chinjao with some surprise and asked, "Do you know my grandfather?"

Could it be an old acquaintance of Grandpa?

If that's the case, then we'll have to give them a proper greeting.

"What?!"

Cavendish stared at Luffy in shock. Could this kid be the Straw Hat he was looking for?

"Um... that..."

Luffy, realizing what Cavendish was shocked about, immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Oh no, we've been exposed.

Xi Yan shook his head helplessly. How could this idiot admit it so easily?

Looks like this kid's going to be busy soon.

"I almost got killed by Garp before," Chinjao said, his smile fading. "I've hated his grandsons ever since."

"Ha?"

Luffy stared at Chinjao with a completely bewildered expression. What was all this about?

What does my grandfather's feud with him have to do with me?

Chinjao ignored Luffy's reaction and continued, "Kid, do you know what?"

"Garp used to be a veritable demon to pirates."

"It was because I met this bastard back then that I developed a wound on my body that has never healed in decades..."

At this point, Chinjao subconsciously touched his flattened head, and a look of sadness appeared on his face.

If it weren't for that bastard, how could I have failed to obtain the treasure beneath the Iceberg?

"Are you really Straw Hat Luffy?!" Cavendish glared angrily at Luffy. Had this bastard been playing him all along?

"No, no, no, he's mistaken!" Luffy quickly said, "I'm Lucy, Lucy!"

"Look at the name on my back."

"You're still lying to me..."

Cavendish gritted his teeth and said, "How could a person mishear their own name!"

No wonder that jerk said he was Straw Hat Luffy before; it turns out he was Luffy himself!

"But I..."

Before Luffy could finish speaking, he heard Chinjao's words again.

"So you, grandson, will have to pay for this grudge." Breaking free from his memories, Chinjao coldly looked at Luffy and said, "Pay with your life!"

"Go ask my grandpa about this!" Luffy said, looking at Chinjao with displeasure. "What does this have to do with me!"

"You still say you're not Straw Hat Luffy!" Cavendish roared. "You've already admitted you're the grandson of Navy Hero Garp!"

"I already said no..."

Unfortunately, Cavendish doesn't believe Luffy at all right now.

He drew his rapier from his waist, staring coldly at Luffy, and said, "If you really are Straw Hat Luffy... I'll make sure you're bleeding right here!"

As he spoke, Cavendish Luffy, Luffy was forced to retreat little by little.

"I told you, don't get agitated..."

"How could I not be excited!" Cavendish gripped his weapon tightly, saying, "I finally managed to..."

Before he could finish speaking, he noticed that the Chinjao standing behind him suddenly moved.

"If I had known Garp had a son named Dragon living in the world, I wouldn't have let you be born!"

After saying that, Chinjao charged headfirst at the two of them, startling Luffy and Cavendish into quickly dodging to the side.

"Boom!!"

Looking at the huge crater created by the impact, Luffy and Cavendish's expressions changed simultaneously. This old man was serious.

"Hey, what happened?"

People in the distance looked on in surprise and said, "Why was there such a loud noise?"

"Hey, it's Leader Chinjao who's gone berserk!"

"Everyone, get away from here!"

Although they didn't know why the Chinjao had gone berserk, their instincts told them they had to get away from there as soon as possible, or they might be targeted by the other person's wrath.

With that thought in mind, these people quickly walked away into the distance.

However, they didn't go far. After walking a short distance, they stopped to observe the situation.

"Hehe, if they get eliminated because of this, it'll be a good thing for us too."

Upon hearing this, several quick-witted individuals immediately broke into smiles.

Yes, eliminating these formidable opponents would certainly be a good thing for them.

"Hey, I told you to wait!" Luffy glared at Chinjao, saying, "This has nothing to do with me..."

"Shut up!"

Cavendish grabbed Luffy's beard and said, "Take your beard off first!"

"Stop it right now!" Luffy and cried.

If the other party removes his beard, he'll be completely exposed!

No way!

Cavendish glared at Luffy through gritted teeth. How could he possibly let go?

"How did things get to this point?" Xi Yan sighed.

How exactly did Luffy manage to be exposed?

The Straw Hat was never shown.

Not understanding how the Chinjao discovered Xi Yan, she chose to ask directly.

"Hey, old man, how did you figure out who this guy is?" Xi Yan asked curiously.

"This hatred has lasted for decades," Chinjao said without turning his head as he slowly got up from the ground. "So even if he turns to ashes, I'll still recognize him!"

camouflage?

This thing means nothing to him!

"So that's how it is..."

Listening to Chinjao's words, Xi Yan fell into deep thought.

Bellamy recognized Luffy at a glance because he had been beaten up by Luffy before.

As for the Chinjao, it was because of hatred...

In other words, people who have been following Luffy closely now have a high chance of recognizing Luffy?

Does that mean there's a high chance the Donquixote Family members would recognize Luffy?

'The chances are pretty good,' Xi Yan murmured to himself.

Fortunately, no Donquixote Family officials were present here, otherwise they might have been exposed long ago.
