Seeing Garp fix his gaze on him, the old man named Balu looked somewhat uneasy. He was clearly a little intimidated, but the next second, he still spoke with a cold sneer:

"Stop boasting, Garp! Things aren't the same as they were over twenty years ago. You're old too. Do you think you're still that same—"

Balu's pupils contracted. Every hair on his body stood on end as a beastlike growl rumbled from his throat. His body suddenly swelled, transforming into a massive azure dinosaur against the wind.

An Ancient Zoan, the Kui Zhou Dragon Devil Fruit user!
