Garp Begins to Doubt His Life
"..."
This attitude suggests that they are less about starting a war and more about visiting an old friend.
However, it does have a lot of Garp's style.
Lin Yan couldn't help but chuckle.
Looking at Garp in front of her, Lin Yan didn't hesitate much and readily reached out to take the senbei that Garp handed her and took a bite.
A fierce warrior like Garp.
It's impossible to use any underhanded methods.
Besides, to be fair, these senbei (rice crackers) taste pretty good; no wonder Garp takes them everywhere he goes.
"How about it? This is my favorite snack."
Seeing that Lin Yan was very satisfied with the taste of the senbei, Garp laughed heartily again.
But after the laughter subsided...
The man's expression turned somewhat serious.
"We're enemies now, aren't you afraid I'll poison it?"
Garp looked at Lin Yan with great interest and asked.
However, Lin Yan simply shrugged indifferently at this.
"If you even do something like this, you, Garp, will be so disgraced you'll be buried with it."
"..."
What courage! I like it!
Upon hearing Lin Yan's answer, Garp was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
"I wish you were in the navy."
Garp shook his head and sighed.
Even though the two were on opposing sides at this moment, Garp did not feel any ill will towards Lin Yan.
As mentioned before.
Many disputes at sea are ultimately just a matter of differing perspectives.
People as evil as Donquixote Doflamingo are ultimately a minority.
Even though Lin Yan had caused the Navy to lose face several times.
Regardless of their positions, Garp himself greatly admired Lin Yan's courage to venture alone into the Marineford War and single-handedly turn the tide of the battle.
Now, Garp only regrets that someone like Lin Yan isn't a Marine.
Otherwise, the pirates of this era wouldn't be so rampant, would they?
Although there's no point in saying all this now.
Things that need to be done must be done, but before that, Garp still wanted to double-check.
"Did you kill the Celestial Dragons?"
Looking at Lin Yan, who was still standing calmly opposite him, Garp narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, his expression unusually serious.
Lin Yan's answer here will determine how things will unfold.
Lin Yan's answer was, of course, something she had already decided upon.
"They're weak but fearless, and utterly disgusting. Why keep those scum around for the New Year?"
"..."
This is a straightforward admission, without the slightest bit of regret!
Upon hearing this, Garp's face instantly darkened.
Without a doubt, this is the worst answer.
If there was still a sliver of room for negotiation before, then after Lin Yan's answer, it was clear that a fight was inevitable today!
"In that case, I must also fulfill my duties as a member of the Navy."
Garp spoke with a somewhat serious expression.
As he spoke, he reached out and removed the cloak of justice from his back.
At the same time, powerful Armament Haki began to gather in his hands, no less than that of Zephyr, who was known as the Black Arm.
This is a world-class user of Armament Haki!
As Marine Vice Admiral, Garp does not possess any outstanding Devil Fruit abilities and is merely an ordinary human, certainly not a naturally physically powerful race like merfolk.
But why is he called a naval hero?
Besides his past achievements in hunting down the Pirate King Roger.
The answer lies in those two iron fists!
The purer it is, the more powerful it is!
This incredibly powerful Armament Haki is everything to Garp!
"Lin Yan, the Seventeenth Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, was personally executed by Vice Admiral Garp of the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral for his crime of murdering Celestial Dragons!"
"Garp shouted."
The enormous sound echoed throughout the entire sea.
A powerful fighting spirit began to erupt in Lin Yan's eyes.
"If you can do it, why not give it a try!"
Without using any treasures or abilities, Lin Yan simply revealed a wild smile on her lips, and then, like Garp, imbued her fists with Armament Haki.
World-class Armament Haki mastery?
He'd been wanting to try it for a long time!
Boom------!
The next second, their iron fists slammed together, and a huge shockwave swept around like a category 10 typhoon. In just an instant, the once peaceful port was ravaged into pieces.
It's easy to imagine just how violent these two were.
Garp's expression changed.
"How could you possibly...?"
Seeing Lin Yan's fist collide with his own, and Lin Yan showing no signs of weakness, Garp stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Even his old friend wouldn't be able to withstand his full-force attack without using his Devil Fruit ability, right?
A powerful Devil Fruit can quickly grant a person formidable fighting abilities.
However, there are no shortcuts to Armament Haki!
Only through perseverance!
Talent and hard work are both essential!
Garp's Armament Haki Garp is the culmination of half his life's work, and in terms of talent, Garp considers himself to be among the best.
But how old is Lin Yan in front of us?!
"We've only just begun, don't be so shocked."
However, Lin Yan smiled slightly at Garp, whose expression had changed drastically.
The next instant, it vanished before Garp's astonished eyes!
"?!"
In the blink of an eye, Garp could only react in time to protect his chest before Lin Yan unleashed a combo attack at lightning speed, sending him flying.
"..."
With his body soaring in mid-air, Garp looked somewhat bewildered.
who I am?
Where am I?
What just happened?
In that brief moment, Garp couldn't see Lin Yan's movements clearly at all; he only felt himself being inexplicably sent flying.
There is only one reason for this phenomenon.
There is an almost insurmountable gap in their fighting skills!
Garp remembered that when he was disciplining and reprimanding the new Marines, they would always have this bewildered look on their faces.
But is that really possible...?
A young man in his early twenties.
It's one thing that their Armament Haki is just as good as mine.
Their combat skills are miles ahead of mine?!
What the hell is that monster?!
Garp was completely bewildered, and it wasn't until he was almost on the ground that he managed to avoid falling thanks to his instincts as a martial arts expert.
But at this moment, the way Garp looked at Lin Yan had completely changed.
He glanced silently at the bruises on his arm.
Garp remained silent for a moment.
Immediately, the way he looked at Lin Yan was as if he were looking at a monster in human skin.
"What... exactly did you eat to grow up like this?"
