Roy looked up at the seashore; in the distance, a Dog-Head Warship was rapidly approaching on the horizon.
At the bow, Garp, wearing a dog-head hat, bent slightly, and the entire bow began to sink. He then leaped forward...
He shot towards the island like a cannonball.
Conqueror's Haki coalesced on his fist, forming a dazzling red cross.
"Hahaha! Pirates, accept the punishment of justice!"
" Fist Bone - Galaxy Impact!"
"Damn it!" A flash of anger and resentment crossed the Golden Lion's murky eyes, but he instantly assessed the situation.
In his current state, let alone dealing with Garp, even escaping would be a problem! If he stays, he will surely be captured by the Navy!
Roy and his three companions were also greatly shocked!
Their current condition is not much better than that of Golden Lion; if they are captured by the Navy, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Without any hesitation, both sides stopped fighting when they saw that it was Garp was coming.
With his last ounce of strength, Golden Lion roared and frantically activated the power of his Float-Float Fruit, dragging his heavily injured body as he sped away in the opposite direction from Garp!
At the same time, they didn't forget about ' Oto ' who had been knocked to the side.
"Walk!"
Roy ignored Golden Lion's actions and issued commands via Mental Link at almost the same time.
The four of them mustered their last bit of strength and rushed desperately toward the complex sea area on the other side of the island!
"Boom!"
As Roy fled at breakneck speed, he only felt a loud bang behind him, followed by a blast of air.
There was no time to turn back; taking advantage of the shockwave, the four of them increased their speed even further.
Garp had just landed in the center of the battlefield when he watched as the two sides, like startled birds, instantly fled in two different directions.
He paused for a moment, then stroked his chin, a somewhat amused smile appearing on his face.
"Tsk, they're all running faster than the last. That old man Shiki is one thing, but these kids... their reactions are pretty quick."
Looking at the battlefield, now empty and filled only with devastation and the heavy stench of blood, he shook his head.
" Shiki actually got pushed to this point. Those kids... they're interesting."
The arriving adjutant Bogard, drew his sword as he watched the fleeing parties.
" Vice Admiral Garp, should we pursue them?"
"Haha, forget it, Bogard, Golden Lion and Roy both have the ability to fly, catching up with them on the high seas won't be easy!"
"But what about Vice Admiral Garp, Fleet Admiral Kong...?"
Garp crossed his arms, gazing in the direction where the Golden Lion had disappeared, then glanced at the escape route Roy and the others had taken, and casually waved his hand:
"Alright, Bogard, put the knife away."
"I'll explain to Fleet Admiral Kong. Now, let's continue pursuing that Roger guy."
"I have a feeling that Roger and his crew must have some purpose in showing up in the New World this time!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the warship, and Bogard could only follow helplessly.
However, he didn't notice that Garp, who had turned around, now had a deep and thoughtful look in his eyes.
Recalling the fleeting glimpse he had just witnessed and the horrific scene on the battlefield, Golden Lion was clearly driven to the brink of despair, while those young pirates had managed to fight Shiki to such an extent.
"Well, forget it, catching Roger is more important!"
Garp shook his head, putting the matter out of his mind.
After half a day of desperate escape, Roy and his companions arrived at the other side of the island, where Stella, who had already been notified, had already moored the Ark Maxim on the shore.
" Roy!" Stella waved from the side of the boat.
Roy immediately enveloped the four of them with his mental power and flew to the deck of the Ark Maxim.
"Let's go! Set sail!"
The moment he landed, ignoring the crowd that surrounded him, Roy gave the order.
"Yes!"
Stella noticed Roy's anxiety and, without hesitation, immediately went to the cockpit and piloted the ' Ark Maxim ' away from the sea at high speed.
Once the boat started moving, Roy and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other, saw each other's miserable state, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This scene also surprised the people who came up to help them, who were completely confused about their situation.
Although they were seriously injured this time, they also pushed Golden Lion to the brink of defeat. More importantly, they successfully stepped into the realm of Great Swordsman by taking advantage of the pressure exerted by Golden Lion. If it weren't for the Navy's sudden interference,
Roy was confident that he could keep the Golden Lion on Raijin Island forever.
"Hahaha... cough cough..."
On deck, Roy's laughter aggravated his injuries, causing him to cough uncontrollably.
But the excitement and joy in my heart were impossible to hide.
Bullet plopped down on the ground, leaning against the ship's railing. Despite his numerous wounds, he grinned, revealing a satisfied smile.
"That was awesome! So this is the New World battle Roy was talking about!? It's really intense!"
Hawk Eyes nodded, sheathed the Black Blade Yoru, and leaned back against a wooden barrel. He was in slightly better condition, but his right arm holding the sword was still trembling slightly, clearly agreeing with Bullet's words.
"Hehe... we... we actually fought against the legendary great pirate..."
Still recovering from his shock, Tesoro, supported by Savi and Enel, couldn't help but say smugly.
Stella, having set the ship's course, saw a group of people boasting and bragging, completely ignoring her injuries, and sighed helplessly.
"Is this the time to be discussing these things!?"
Stella's words startled everyone; their excitement faded, and the pain in their bodies immediately took over.
This caused Roy and his companions' expressions to change.
" Pea, hurry to the planting room and get more food, and also extract some life energy,"
" Savi, Enel, you two go help too!"
" Charon, go to the infirmary and get some medicine and bandages!"
"Yes!" Savi and Enel immediately put Tesoro down and quickly followed Pea.
Charon immediately sprang into action.
After the four people were bound with the Supreme Bandage, Pea's food was laid out, and Pea directly slapped his life power onto the four people.
This improved Roy and the others' condition considerably, and they picked up the food in front of them and began to eat heartily.
Charon was filled with turmoil as he looked at the four men's disheveled appearance.
I thought Roy and his friends were incredibly powerful, but they were still so overwhelmed when facing Golden Lion.
"Are these the true powerhouses of the New World?"
"It seems I was indeed quite narrow-minded on Fish-Man Island!"
Several hours later, in unfamiliar waters, the Ark Maxim slowly came to a stop.
Inside the ship's hold, Roy and his companions had healed their external injuries after absorbing life energy, and the food they had eaten had restored their strength.
At that moment, Stella pushed open the door and walked in, checking on the four of them and looking at Roy.
" Roy, now that we're far from Raijin Island, and the Navy has presumably left, should we go back to continue our training?"
"Well, since we've already left, let's keep going and head straight for Whitebeard's territory."
Roy for a moment before answering Stella.
After the great battle with the Golden Lion, Roy still felt that the benefits of training step by step were far less than those gained from fighting against top-tier experts.
Since we've already left, let's proceed according to the original plan.
