Smoke and dust filled the air, and gravel was scattered everywhere.
Roy was buried in a pile of rubble, his whole body wracked with pain.
His arms were fractured in several places.
He had three broken ribs in his chest.
His internal organs were still aching from the impact of that punch.
But he is still alive.
Roy gritted his teeth and used his Telekinesis to shake off all the rubble pressing down on him.
He staggered to his feet, panting heavily.
In the distance, Garp stood still, staring at Roy, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Kid, you can still stand up?"
"Not bad."
Roy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grinned,
This is just the beginning.
He took a deep breath and channeled all his Telekinesis!
The broken ribs were forcibly reset under the control of Telekinesis!
The power of the bloodline within his body began to circulate wildly, absorbing nutrients from his body to accelerate the recovery of his injuries!
That tingling sensation came from the wound.
Roy sensed the state within his body, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
Although they fought with all their might for half a day, they were still far from reaching their limit.
They can still fight!
He charged at Garp again!
shave!
He appeared in front of Garp in an instant, throwing out both fists!
Six Powers - The Maximum Wheel Rokuogan!
Two shockwaves, condensed to their maximum intensity, slammed into Garp!
Garp blocks with his arms crossed!
boom--!!!
A deafening roar!
Garp was knocked back three steps by the blow!
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Kid, your recovery speed is amazing..."
Roy gave him no chance to catch his breath and charged forward again!
Garp parries with a punch while simultaneously counterattacking!
The two clashed again!
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
The deafening roar shook the entire deserted island!
The ground was blasted into countless huge craters, the mountain walls were smashed through, debris flew everywhere, and dust filled the air!
The two fought from day to night, and from night to day!
The entire deserted island had been blasted to pieces by the battle between the two.
The once towering reefs have been reduced to a ground covered in rubble.
The once flat ground is now riddled with deep ravines and giant pits.
The waves crashed against the broken rocks, splashing up towering spray.
The battle continues.
Roy was covered in blood, his clothes were tattered, and his body was covered in wounds and bruises.
Three ribs were broken, the left shoulder bone was fractured, the right arm muscle was torn, and there was a dull pain in the internal organs.
But he remained standing, still fighting.
Garp's condition isn't much better either.
His body was also covered in wounds, his breathing became heavy, and his movements were not as swift as before.
But the fighting spirit in his eyes remained intense.
"Kid..."
He was breathing heavily, staring at Roy.
Why don't you leave?
"With your abilities and strength, if you really want to leave, I can't stop you."
Roy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grinned,
"Withdraw?"
"Old man, I haven't had enough yet."
Garp frowned. "What exactly are you trying to do?"
Roy took a deep breath and did not answer.
He simply assumed a fighting stance again, his eyes burning with intense light.
Garp looked at him and remained silent for two seconds.
Then, he laughed.
That smile carried a hint of appreciation, but also a hint of helplessness.
"Good lad..."
"Since you want to fight, I'll fight you to the very end!"
He clenched his fist, Armament Haki surged once more!
The two charged forward again!
Day three.
The battle continues.
Roy's body had reached its limit.
He had lost too much blood, was completely exhausted, and his consciousness began to blur.
But he remained standing, still staring at Garp, still refusing to fall.
Garp stood opposite him, also panting heavily.
But he's in much better shape Roy.
"Kid..."
He spoke slowly,
You lost.
"Come with me."
Impel Down will be your final resting place.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward!
The iron fist cleaved through the air, aiming straight for Roy's head!
This punch was as fast as Inazuma and as heavy as a mountain!
Roy tried to dodge, but his body wouldn't obey him.
He tried to block it with his Telekinesis, but his mental energy was completely exhausted.
We could only watch helplessly as that punch drew closer and closer...
boom--!!!
A powerful punch landed squarely on the brain!
Roy's body flew backward like a tattered sack, crashing heavily into the pile of rubble!
Blood stained the rocks beneath them.
Roy's consciousness sank into a state of chaos.
Garp looked at Roy, who had fallen into a coma, and plopped down on the ground.
"This kid..."
At this moment, as Roy's consciousness faded into darkness, countless images flashed through the depths of his mind.
Memories of my past life: that office worker who worked overtime until late at night.
The moment I traveled through time, I saw that boy struggling to survive a shipwreck.
The moment the memories Awakening, those images of the Pirate King world flooded back like a tidal wave.
A journey filled with battles, growth, and life-or-death struggles.
Hawk Eyes's sword, Bullet's fist, and the Red Count's teachings.
Tesoro's following, Crocodile's loyalty, the smiles of his comrades.
besides--
Those dreams that are yet to be fulfilled.
Those ambitions yet to be realized.
Those who have not yet been protected.
"I..."
"We haven't lost yet..."
boom--!!!
An invisible force erupted from Roy!
That power wasn't Telekinesis, nor was it Haki; it was something deeper and more fundamental!
It is formless and intangible, yet it seems to be able to interfere with everything!
It is silent and still, yet it seems to shake the heavens and earth!
Garp, who was resting nearby, was instantly blasted back dozens of meters by this force!
He plowed two deep furrows in the ground with his feet before he could finally steady himself!
Staring wide-eyed, he looked at the scene before him in disbelief.
"This is... a true Awakening?!"
Roy's body slowly floated into the air.
Twisted light and shadow swirled around him, and those light and shadow seemed to have a life of their own, constantly changing, flowing, and expanding.
His eyes opened.
Those eyes were no longer their usual deep and dark depths, but instead gleamed with an eerie light.
That light seemed to see through everything and control everything.
Roy raised his hand and looked at his hands.
Feel the surging, new power within my body.
That power was completely different from the Telekinesis before.
The previous use of Telekinesis was "manipulation," which involved using mental power to interfere with reality.
And now--
It means " Words Become Law ".
The moment he has a thought, reality changes.
This isn't manipulation, this is--
Control.
Roy smiled genuinely.
He looked at Garp in the distance and spoke slowly.
" Vice Admiral Garp, thank you."
"Thank you for helping me complete the Devil Fruit Awakening."
Garp's pupils contracted slightly.
He stared at Roy, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"You... you brat..."
"You actually succeeded?"
Roy nodded. "That's right."
Garp remained silent.
a long time--
"Hahaha!!!"
He burst into laughter, his laughter shaking the heavens.
"Good lad! You've got guts!"
"You dared to use me as a whetstone, and you even succeeded!"
"But--"
He clenched his fist, Armament Haki surged once more.
"I've seen plenty of Devil Fruit Awakening users!"
"That guy from the Sengoku was also Awakening One; I've fought him for most of my life!"
"You think you can defeat me just because Awakening?!"
Roy looked at him, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Then let's give it a try."
