Just as Borsalino felt the world closing in and he was about to be plunged into endless darkness, a voice pulled him back to reality.
The newcomer was none other than Garp. He was running continuously on the sea, each step propelling him hundreds of meters forward, with explosions echoing beneath his feet.
It turned out that after receiving the order, he rushed over at full speed, and later received news from the Sengoku, which included a photo of Lin Yuan.
The moment he saw the other person's face, he knew Borsalino and the other marines were in danger.
In order to provide support as quickly as possible, his Dog-Head Warship was pushed to its maximum speed, and the engine was almost completely destroyed.
Finally Garp estimated the distance, disregarded everything else, and directly ordered Bogard to personally drive a speedboat and continue accelerating.
To ensure Garp's fighting strength, Bogard almost exhausted himself. The speedboat was reduced to just a few planks and could not withstand the recoil force at all.
Fortunately, Garp arrived in time. He heard Lin Yuan shouting at Kizaru from afar and saw Kizaru suspended in mid-air, seemingly about to faint.
So without a second thought, Garp shattered the last plank and used his immense power to blast directly at Lin Yuan.
The thought of Ace being taken away by Lin Yuan and Whitebeard Newgate made him even angrier, wishing he could punch Lin Yuan to death.
However, this interrupted Lin Yuan's attack. At the critical moment, Borsalino finally woke up. He had already fallen from mid-air and was only a few dozen meters away from falling into the sea.
Borsalino immediately activated his Devil Fruit power and flew up again, secretly feeling a sense of lingering fear.
If he faints and falls into the sea, who knows if the other person will save him? Although Lin Yuan will most likely catch him, what if!
"How terrifying! I was almost killed!"
This time he was telling the truth; even though he hadn't broken a sweat during the entire fight, a bead of cold sweat inadvertently trickled down his forehead.
Lin Yuan frowned slightly, wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his eye, and then glared fiercely at Garp.
" Ryuo..."
Seeing Garp attacking him from below, Lin Yuan also felt angry. He had finally seized an opportunity and was about to catch Borsalino, but Garp interrupted him at the last moment.
Not only that, the backlash from this move also gave Lin Yuan a headache, so he directly descended from the sky and threw a punch at Garp.
The two men, one above and one below, collided violently, and spatial rifts, similar to those of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, appeared around their fists.
"Boom..."
A deafening explosion shook the heavens and the earth, sending up a hundred-meter-high wave that capsized a warship.
Fortunately, there were no more naval personnel on board, otherwise there would have been a huge number of casualties.
Lin Yuan and Garp were locked in a stalemate in mid-air for a while, then retreated simultaneously, neither of them gaining the upper hand.
Flame Clouds appeared beneath Lin Yuan's feet, allowing him to stabilize himself. As for Garp, he quickly descended towards the sea. Just then, a golden figure appeared and caught Garp.
It was Borsalino who, upon regaining his senses, witnessed the battle between Lin Yuan and Garp. So, instead of fleeing, he turned back.
For him, this was also an opportunity to seize the opportunity. With Garp joining forces, he was truly not afraid of anyone.
" Vice Admiral Garp, are you alright?!"
"It's okay. What happened just now? How did you fall down without moving?"
"Hmm, I'm not really sure either, but it felt like the whole world was going to be shrouded in darkness just from that kid's glance. It was really scary."
Borsalino was no longer sure whether what he described as terrifying was truly terrifying or something else entirely; at the very least, all he felt from Lin Yuan was the threat of death.
"I see. It seems we need to be careful. The other side must have some trump card that can instantly defeat you."
"It seems so, but Vice Admiral Garp, let's find a place to stay first!"
Just then, streaks of Flame Clouds descended, enveloping the sea surface for miles around.
Lin Yuan slowly landed, easily stepping onto the ground, and at the same time raised his right hand, beckoning to Garp and Borsalino.
Borsalino and Garp's expressions changed; this was blatant disrespect towards them, an outrageous act.
Without saying a word, Garp landed directly on the Flame Clouds, rubbing his huge fist, wishing he could beat Lin Yuan to death.
Seeing that Garp was alright, Borsalino finally landed with relief, and the two of them looked at Lin Yuan side by side.
At this moment, Naguri also came over, while Enel and Erza returned to the port with Yamakaji and Onigumo.
The battles that followed were beyond their control.
" Garp, I can't believe we're meeting again after only a few days!"
Garp gave Naguri a complicated look and said in a deep voice.
" Naguri, you're someone who once fought Roger, and yet you're willing to serve under someone else! And such a cruel one at that!"
"Sigh, Garp, what on earth did they do to make you go so far as to launch the Buster Call? Is it just because the World Government is jealous of their wealth?!"
Although he had only been with the " Abyss " Merchant Guild for a short time, Naguri could still sense the goodwill of Tesoro and the others, and they had not harmed any innocent people.
Naguri even saw many poor people working, chatting and laughing.
Garp's expression hardened, as if he didn't know how to refute it.
"Hmph, I don't care about those damned trash, but this guy kidnapped Ace, and I have to bring him back."
Naguri was speechless. He knew about Ace's situation. Although Ace was indeed taken away by Whitebeard Newgate, Ace ultimately did so willingly.
Moreover, he was carefully trained by Whitebeard Newgate, and Lin Yuan even gave Ace a Logia Devil Fruit. Where else can you find such a good thing?
Naguri simply stopped saying anything, since Lin Yuan was the one in charge here.
" Lin Yuan, kid, should I make a move?"
Looking at Borsalino and Garp, Lin Yuan also felt a fighting spirit, but he shook his head.
"You keep an eye on things from the sidelines. I'll take care of these two. It's been a long time since I've met someone I can give my all to."
"How terrifying! They actually thought they could take on me and Vice Admiral Garp? Even Roger wouldn't dare say that!"
Borsalino spoke casually, but his eyes betrayed a deep wariness.
"Hmph, you brat, then I'll let you taste what the Fist of Love is like!"
"Clang..."
Without wasting words, Lin Yuan drew his " Mandala " sword and slashed at Borsalino and Garp.
Seeing that Lin Yuan was really willing to fight two against one, Borsalino and Garp's faces also became serious.
" Ama no Murakumo..."
