A Rematch After 36 Years

"Crack, crack~"

Oak clenched his fists and loosened up, his bones cracking all over.

"Old bastard, you didn't come here to reminisce today, did you? It's been a long time. Let me see whether these old bones of yours have rusted!"

He could not be bothered wasting words with Garp. Recalling their old grudge from decades ago, he fixed Garp with a sharp gaze.

He had only been fifteen when he first went to sea. At first, every encounter with Garp ended with him getting beaten up. By the time he had finally grown strong enough not to fear Garp, before he could get his revenge, he encountered Imu and was forced into the Rainbow Mist, where he remained trapped for decades.

Now that they had met again decades later, he had to repay every bit of what he had suffered back then.

His gaze swept over Aokiji beside Garp. He also wanted to weigh up this era's Admirals and see whether they were stronger than those of his own era.

"Are they about to fight?"

Sensing the increasingly powerful aura coming from the other side, Aokiji frowned and glanced around. This was Loguetown, and there were still many innocent civilians nearby.

She saluted Aokiji, then swiftly led her Marines away to evacuate the civilians. Oak did not stop them.

"You two should leave first as well!"

If he fought Garp and Aokiji, Nami and Robin clearly could not stay
