boom--!!!
A violent shockwave exploded outwards in a ring!
Rocks within a radius of 100 meters were instantly blown away by the blast wave!
The shrubs were uprooted, and the ground was cracked inch by inch!
The two retreated dozens of meters at the same time, carving two deep furrows under their feet!
"Good lad!"
Garp laughed heartily.
"Strong enough!"
Roy shook his slightly numb fist, his eyes burning with intense fighting spirit.
"This is just the beginning!"
He charged forward again!
The Telekinesis Fruit is being activated at full power!
"Command: Heavy Pressure!"
An invisible, immense force descended from the sky, slamming down on Garp!
Garp's body sank, and the rock beneath his feet shattered instantly!
But he grinned, stomped his foot on the ground, and charged towards Roy, defying the pressure!
"Such petty tricks won't work on this old man!"
A punch was thrown!
Roy dodged to the side, and at the same time--
"Command: Deflect!"
With the deployment of the Telekinesis Field, the force of Garp's punch was deflected, grazing past his body and blasting a huge crater tens of meters in diameter into the ground behind him!
"Command: Accelerate!"
Roy's speed suddenly increased, and he appeared behind Garp in an instant!
Six Powers: Shigan!
Roy gathered Armament Haki at his fingertips and thrust it straight at Garp's back!
Facing Roy, whose speed had suddenly increased dramatically, Garp didn't even turn his head and threw a backhand punch!
boom!
Their fists collided, and Roy was knocked back ten steps!
But he stomped his feet and charged forward again!
Six Powers: Rankyaku!
His leg flashed like a blade, slashing towards Garp!
Garp blocked with both arms, taking the hit head-on from the Rankyaku!
Ding ding ding ding--!!!
A series of crisp, metallic clanging sounds, as dense as rain!
The fight between the two became increasingly intense!
It hits from the ground into the air, and then from the air back to the ground!
Wherever it went, rocks shattered, the ground collapsed, and shrubs turned to ash!
The deserted island is crumbling bit by bit during their battle!
Meanwhile, on the distant sea, a small fishing boat was drifting trembling.
On the fishing boat, several fishermen from Windmill Village stared in disbelief at the scene.
"That... that's Mr. Garp?!"
"Who is he fighting with?!"
"My God! What kind of monster is that?!"
They rowed desperately, trying to escape the area.
But the aftermath of the battle still reached them.
A blast of air swept by, and the fishing boat was instantly capsized!
Several fishermen screamed as they fell into the sea!
Roy caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and his brow furrowed slightly.
He abruptly withdrew his hand and retreated rapidly.
" Garp!"
Garp was taken aback. Observation Haki had sensed the situation overseas with his Observation Haki, he stopped his fist and looked in the direction Garp was looking.
Upon seeing the fishermen who had fallen into the water, his expression changed.
Damn it!
Without hesitation, Roy unleashed his Telekinesis instantly!
An unseen force lifted the fishermen who had fallen into the water from the sea and gently placed them on the distant reefs.
Then, he looked at Garp.
"Let's go somewhere else."
"It's too close here."
Garp paused for a second, then nodded.
"Good."
"Thirty nautical miles to the east, there is an even larger deserted island."
"There's no one there."
Roy nodded.
"Walk."
The two of them simultaneously took to the air, transforming into two streaks of light and speeding eastward.
Behind them, the rescued fishermen lay shivering on the rocks, watching the two figures disappear into the distance.
"Who... who is that?"
"I don't know... but he must be a big shot..."
"Quickly... quickly go back and report to the village chief!"
Half an hour later.
A deserted island, far from the shipping lanes, came into view.
The island is small and barren, devoid of any signs of life.
It is the ideal battlefield.
The two landed on the island, standing a hundred meters apart, facing each other.
The sea breeze howled, stirring up sand and dust.
Garp stretched his shoulders and twisted his neck, instantly covering his entire body with Armament Haki.
Its pitch-black color exuded a chilling sense of oppression.
"Kid!"
Garp grinned.
"Last time in Wano Country, I wasn't able to enjoy myself to the fullest."
"This time, I won't hold back!"
Roy also clenched his fist, and the power of his Telekinesis Fruit quietly unfolded.
Iron Fist - Continuous Strike!
One punch, two punches, three punches, four punches...
Every punch carries the power to shatter a mountain!
Roy activated his Observation Haki to its fullest extent and channeled his Telekinesis to the maximum, weaving and dodging through the shadowy fists while searching for an opportunity to counterattack!
"Command: Heavy Pressure!"
An invisible Telekinesis descended from the sky, pressing down on Garp!
Garp's body dipped slightly, but his speed did not decrease at all!
"I told you, such petty tricks are useless against this old man!"
Garp roared, and his Conqueror's Haki erupted!
Dark red arcs of electricity crackled around him, instantly dissipating Roy's Telekinesis pressure!
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Roy's eyes.
That old guy is really something.
but--
He has a trump card up his sleeve!
"Command: Collapse!"
Roy pointed his finger, and a crackling sound instantly echoed in the space around Garp.
Ding ding ding ding--!!!
A series of crisp, metallic clanging sounds, as dense as rain!
Garp sensed something was wrong, instantly covering his entire body with Armament Haki. With a stomp of his foot, he left the area, while Roy's attack only left a faint white mark on him!
"Kid! Your abilities are truly insidious!"
Garp wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.
"It's just a skill. What's so insidious about it?"
"You're right, kid!"
Garp grinned, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
Roy's eyes flashed red as he dodged to the side, and at the same time—
"Command Barrier!"
A Telekinesis: Barrier condensed in front of him!
boom--!!!
The barrier shattered, but that brief moment of obstruction gave Roy a chance to catch his breath!
He retreated rapidly, creating distance!
Garp didn't give chase; he simply stood there, staring at him.
"Kid, something's off with you today."
"Why are they fighting so hard? What are they trying to achieve?"
Roy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled.
" Vice Admiral Garp, I'd like to give it a try--"
"Can you help me get past that hurdle?"
Garp frowned.
What hurdle?
Roy took a deep breath.
" Devil Fruit Awakening."
Garp was stunned.
Then he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"Interesting! Very interesting!"
"You brat, are you using me as a whetstone?!"
Roy nodded.
"That's right."
"I've heard that Awakening requires a breakthrough at a life-or-death moment."
"And there aren't many people who can make me feel that way."
"You are one of them."
Garp stopped smiling and stared at him.
"Kid, do you know what you're saying?"
"In a life-or-death situation, one wrong move and you really could die."
Roy laughed.
"Know."
"So please give it your all."
Garp was silent for two seconds, then smiled.
That smile carried a hint of admiration, but also a hint of helplessness.
"Good lad, you've got guts."
"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"
He clenched his fist, Armament Haki gathered once more!
This time, the black color was even deeper and more terrifying than before!
" Fist Bone - Galaxy Impact!"
A punch was thrown!
This punch was faster and harder than any of the previous ones!
A red light flashed on his fist—a phenomenon caused by Armament Haki being condensed to its extreme!
Roy's pupils constricted sharply, and his Observation Haki activated at full power!
Without hesitation, he unleashed his full Telekinesis!
"Command: Turn Back!"
The strongest defensive capability!
However--
Click!!!
The barrier shattered inch by inch before Garp's iron fist!
The Command: Barrier, capable of redirecting attacks, couldn't even hold out for a second!
boom--!!!
Garp's iron fist slammed heavily into Roy's arms!
Roy's body flew backward like a cannonball!
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
He crashed through three mountain walls in succession, and finally slammed into the fourth mountain wall!
The mountainside collapsed, sending debris flying and burying him inside!
