The commotion and tremors sent the nearby civilians fleeing in all directions. A large number of pirates and Kurozumi Orochi's warriors surrounded the area.
Rob Lucci's eyes were sharp as he stared fixedly at a figure opposite him.
"Who's-Who!"
The expressions of Kaku and the others changed as they spotted the familiar man.
"After leaving CP9, he actually joined the Kaido Pirates!"
"No wonder we were discovered."
Their infiltration had been flawless, without the slightest opening. They had never expected to find a former colleague among the enemy ranks.
"Hahahahaha, Kaido!"
"With all your pride and confidence in your strength, you actually want to join forces with others to deal with Xia Le!"
"Looks like that powerful exterior of yours is just hiding a fragile heart!"
"Has Xia Le's strength already scared you into trembling?"
Garp laughed as he spoke.
He knocked his fists together with a dull thud.
Enemies surrounded them. In this situation, fighting with everything they had was the only way to break out.
There was no other choice!
"Xia Le?"
At that name, Kaido narrowed his eyes, and his expression grew somewhat grave.
But he soon laughed.
"It's certainly interesting that the Marines have produced someone like him."
"But taking his head will earn me even greater fame."
"And with you in my hands, my chances of taking his head will be even better!"
An icy gleam flashed through Kaido's eyes as he spoke.
"You think us old-timers are easy to deal with?"
Sengoku roared angrily.
His body shone with golden light, rapidly swelling until he became a radiant golden battle Buddha.
Garp ripped off his coat as well, staring ahead with cold eyes.
"It's been years since I last fought without holding back!"
"I hope a Great Pirate with your reputation won't disappoint us!"
