Momonga knew time was running out, so he hurriedly explained his junior's situation at rapid speed.
"What?!"
Zephyr was shocked, then immediately panicked and dashed across the seawater toward Impel Down.
Garp rushed over as well. They had to save that child—and suppress all those bastards down below, especially that utter bastard Blackbeard.
Garp led the way at the front, quickly reaching the elevator shaft. The two dove rapidly through the seawater, reached the collapsed section, and smashed it open with their fists. Even if it caused an even larger collapse, they did not care.
"Fist Bone: Cannon Hammer!"
"Black Arm: Shatter!"
The instant they burst through, both men threw full-force punches, unleashing two shockwaves that blasted Blackbeard and the others away.
At the same time, they struck backhandedly and further collapsed the elevator shaft, sealing it off. They could not let a single prisoner escape.
"How are you?"
Zephyr immediately went to his student's side. Though his build had changed drastically, the appearance of this Husky Fruit transformation had not.
Yang Hao was not in good condition. His left arm had nearly been severed, and he was covered in wounds. Even in his awakened Fruit state, combined with Life Return, he could not recover quickly. It was clear just how intense the battle had been.

Yang Hao caught his breath, pressed his left arm back against the wound, and accelerated its healing.
"Kid, you're impressive. You've got more drive than my two grandsons."
Garp burst into hearty laughter. He was delighted to see such an outstanding junior.
Earlier, he had heard Momonga's report to Sengoku through a Den Den Mushi, and he had been greatly shocked. He had never expected there to be such an exceptional junior among the Headquarters students.
It was not merely his talent
