First Clash with the New Fish-Man Pirates / Fighting a Giant Sea King
You're saying the Celestial Dragons can't do anything to him?
That's not the case at all. It's just the title of a naval hero. It's not difficult to smear his name. The difficult part is...
The question is how to deal with him. Strength is the capital that has allowed him to live so freely until now. Killing one Garp, World Government Admiral, would result in the deaths of dozens or even the complete annihilation of his army. Even a fool wouldn't do such a deal.
So even though he had the son of a traitor like Dragon, the World Government didn't dare to touch Garp. People outside thought that it was Garp's heroic reputation that protected him.
Some people are even discussing how Garp got away with it because he kept a low profile and didn't touch the center of power.
But!
Tsuru, who knew the truth about Garp's situation, knew that the real reason Garp was unharmed was because of his terrifying strength; everything else was secondary.
Armament Haki is almost at its maximum level; when Garp unleashes his full power, he can even sweep away a Junior Admiral with a single punch.
Furthermore, Garp had previously promised her that if Momousagi successfully reached the Admiral level, he would personally teach her martial arts.
Garp specializes in physical combat and adheres to a very strict rule: he cannot consume Devil Fruit.
"No, I didn't eat Devil Fruit!!"
Chapter 113 First Clash with the New Fish-Man Pirates
"So what exactly happened?"
Gion gave a wry smile, "I can't say."
"Is it related to that kid named Dongze?"
Crane has weathered many storms, and she can see things clearly at a glance. Momousagi left her a message before, so this guess was almost spot on.
"Sister! Sometimes being too smart isn't a good thing~"
Hearing Tsuru's words, Momousagi shrugged helplessly. Her older sister's thinking and scheming abilities were top-notch, and her little schemes were simply not worth mentioning in front of her.
"That brat~~"
Seeing Momousagi's reaction, Tsuru became somewhat silent. This wasn't the first time this guy had come into her view; she had inquired about him with Garp when Garp recommended him before.
She still remembered what Garp said back then, "Given time, this kid can change the world!"
Originally, she thought it was just a joke, but seeing Momousagi's reaction today made her think of those words and start to consider how much truth they actually held.
No one on the entire sea could receive such high praise from Garp. Even Monkey D. Dragon, who caused chaos in the sea, was nothing more than child's play in Garp's eyes.
What kind of person is he?
After a long silence, the crane spoke again.
Hearing Tsuru's words, Momousagi rubbed her forehead. After spending some time together, she generally knew that Tsuru was a person with principles, someone who wouldn't bother others unless provoked, but she couldn't sense any difference in his attitude towards the World Government.
She knew this was what He most wanted to know, but she herself didn't know, and for a moment she was at a loss for words.
"I don't know! But since he's Shichibukai, he must be on the side of justice! Besides, he's a lone wolf, with only one maid serving him!"
When the maid was mentioned, Gion's tone unconsciously became more serious, clearly indicating that something unpleasant must have happened between her and Nico Robin before.
Although Gion himself didn't realize it, Tsuru was a shrewd person, and she immediately noticed the change in Gion's tone.
"Oh! Is that so?"
"And what about the opponent's strength?"
Momousagi shrugged. "He's very strong. Anyway, I'm no match for him. There's a reason why Garp recommended him to become Shichibukai!"
She knew that if she didn't speak up, her older sister would be even more determined to make things worse, so she had no choice but to say a few words.
He's very strong here, but in Tsuru's eyes, he's only at the peak of Admiral, like Aokiji or Akainu. But what's the reality?
This was far beyond anyone's comprehension. She had a feeling that even if Garp and Sengoku joined forces now, they probably wouldn't be a match for Dongze. As for how strong he was, she couldn't be sure. Coupled with certain reasons from before, she subconsciously chose to stand on the side of protecting Dongze, giving Tsuru such an ambiguous answer.
Of course, the crane was unaware of these things.
"Okay! Got it!"
"Looks like this old woman has to make another trip. You've just broken through to the Admiral level; it's time for that old bastard to keep his promise!!"
The perspective shifts to that iconic two-masted sailing ship, where Dongze and Robin stand on the deck, admiring the mysterious underwater world.
It is said that water is the source of life. Water is one of the essential elements for life to emerge on a planet. Without water, even if other conditions are met, life cannot be born.
As one of the sources of water, the ocean holds countless mysteries. Just like in reality, there are still many unsolved mysteries about the ocean.
The most famous of these is the Bermuda Triangle.
Similarly, the ocean holds even more mysteries in this world, because most of the world exists in the form of islands, with very little land. The largest of these is the Red Line, but it is occupied by the Celestial Dragons.
The ocean holds nearly 70% or more of the world's secrets.
"The ocean is truly a mysterious and alluring place!!"
Sensing a tremendous power lurking in the distance, Dongze felt a strange sense of awe, for this power seemed to be comparable to his own.
You have to understand that his current strength far exceeds the limits of those he knows.
As if remembering something, Dongze's eyes darkened, and he began to examine his internal organs, scanning his own panel.

Although he took a month to rest, his strength has improved dramatically. First of all, his Three Types of Haki have almost all reached the late stage, and are not far from perfection.
In another battle with Hawkeye, he activated the Flying Immortal Sword Intent; in another battle with Momousagi, he activated a special skill: Bloodline Inheritance. Momousagi was the first person to experience this skill.
Honestly, this skill is terrifying; a person is affected without even realizing it.
Just like Momousagi, after something happens, she will unconsciously stand in Dongze's shoes and protect him from the bottom of her heart.
Furthermore, through the inheritance of bloodlines, one can rapidly improve their strength. Although there are only twenty spots, which may seem like a small number, if you think about it this way, what about twenty Garp? The outcome would surely be different!
Hmm, maybe we could sweep across the world directly.
Suddenly, a huge tentacle shot out from the depths of the sea and stabbed straight at Dongze and Robin. Judging by the force, if they didn't deal with it properly, the ship would be destroyed and everyone would die.
Dongze narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in them. He remembered this monster.
It's the Octopus that the Straw Hat Pirates encountered when they first arrived at Fish-Man Island, Kraken.
In other words, those Fish-Man who are extremely hostile to humans have now begun to become active, and so has that Decken...
It seems like they're targeting me now.
Looking at the deep seabed before him, Dongze smiled gently.
Hehe~~
Chapter 114 Confrontation with Giant Sea Kings
"Dongze! Mr. Rayleigh said before that the hull membrane cannot withstand severe impacts. If our ship suffers such an impact, we might become fish food!"
Seeing the enormous tentacles hurtling towards her, Robin's face paled. She wouldn't be afraid to deal with such a large creature on land, but in the sea, she faced far too many limitations.
For her, the first problem was the drawback of the Devil Fruit, coupled with the resistance of the seawater, making it an almost impossible task to deal with this Sea Beast in the water.
Seeing that Dongze remained unmoved, Robin assumed he felt the same way! That's why he turned pale when the tentacles attacked.
Dongze's pupils contracted, and his Conqueror's Haki swept out. Although his abilities were restricted in the deep sea, they were not as strong.
He had already mastered Abdominal Breathing, so he could breathe in seawater. In addition, since he had not consumed Devil Fruit, the seawater did not have a significant effect on him.
Furthermore, he possesses several unique Sword Intent, especially Thunderclap and Cold River, whose influence in the sea is even greater than on land.
Even in the sea, he was not a pushover, to be easily manipulated. Since he first entered the water, the only real threat to him was an unknown creature lurking in the deepest part of the ocean.
He guessed it might be a method left behind by the previous Sea Emperor to protect the newborn Sea Emperor, but such creatures are rare.
As for the others, they were nothing more than minor ailments to him, mere trifles! This included Kraken, Decken, and the Fish-Man of the New Fish-Man Pirates.
The Conqueror's Haki remained unaffected in the seawater, as fierce as ever, Haki across the depths of the ocean like a Category 18 hurricane on flat ground.
In an instant, Kraken was so frightened that it turned into a quail. No matter how Decken tried to drive it away, it refused to move an inch and instead desperately fled in another direction.
Holy crap~~
Before Decken could even react, Kraken had already dragged him away and disappeared from sight.
However, this overwhelming Conqueror's Haki also awakened some enormous creatures in the seabed, and these Sea Beasts were far superior to those of Kraken.
They are the guardians of Fish-Man Island, the true overlords of the sea, each a super Sea Kings exceeding tens of kilometers in size.
A strange fluctuation began to move across the depths of the seabed.
Who is this person?
"I don't know! But he gives me a very dangerous feeling, which is something I've never experienced before. Even the previous man didn't put this kind of pressure on me!"
"Indeed! This guy's aura is like the might of heaven!"
"By the way, where's Kentauros Tauros?"
"Don't mess with him. I'm not sure if we can beat him. He gives me a very ominous feeling!!"
"How is that possible! My elder brother is a sea overlord who has lived for over a thousand years! Could it be that even you can't stop him?"
"Hehe!"
Suddenly, a voice entered the consciousness of many Sea Beasts, causing the Sea Kings to shudder.
The seabed suddenly began to churn violently.
This riot not only affected Fish-Man Island deep in the ocean, but also directly impacted the surrounding seas, causing waves to surge one after another, eventually forming a tsunami.
