While Vic was dealing with Blackbeard's crew, Garp also arrived at Hachinosu with his men and caused a ruckus.
Rewinding to six days earlier, upon learning that his disciple had been kidnapped by Blackbeard, Garp handed over his mission to his lieutenant, Bogard, while he himself rushed to Marine Headquarters without stopping.
He then barged into a meeting that was in progress and finally met the current Fleet Admiral, Akainu. Akainu was very displeased, feeling that his authority had been challenged. Even if you are a legendary Hero of the Marines, you shouldn't disrespect me!
When Akainu learned that Garp wanted him to send men to rescue Koby, he refused, citing his suspicion that Blackbeard Akainu plotting something and that he was discussing countermeasures.
Garp didn't say much after that. He took Helmeppo, Hibari, and Kujaku directly to Blackbeard's lair Hachinosu, and finally arrived two hours ago!
Blackbeard didn't leave many officers on Hachinosu, only Shiryu, Heavy Drinker, Lafitte, Catarina, and Wolf. However, he had quite a few henchmen, which was a characteristic of Hachinosu and could be considered Blackbeard Pirates.
Because of Vic's intervention, Aokiji, the big boss, is gone, and the Corrupt King has also submitted to the Thunder God Pirates. With this lineup, not to mention Garp after breaking through to the God Realm, even before breaking through, he could have taken on the task alone, not to mention that he has now reached another level!
With a single punch, Garp propelled the entire warship into the air, propelled by the recoil of the seawater, and sent it flying straight into the center of the town on Hachinosu.
After that, the crew on the warship split into two groups. Garp swaggered around the city, attacking anyone he saw, attracting everyone's attention.
Helmeppo, along with Hibari and Kujaku, disappeared into the shadows to search for Koby's place of imprisonment.
Garp could certainly sweep through and take down everyone on Hachinosu, but his goal is to rescue Koby. So he can't just think about his own easy victory; he has to lure out the Blackbeard Pirates's executives so that Helmeppo and the others can seize the opportunity to rescue Koby!
"Where's that black kid? Get out here right now!"
I'm going to smash you all to pieces!
Garp smashed and shouted as he went, throwing punches at everything in front of him, whether it was pirates or buildings. Powerful Haki swept through, clearing the area in front of him instantly. No matter how many pirates surrounded him, they all ended up like this!
By this time, many people had already recognized that Haki figure who no longer frequently appeared in the newspapers. That was the legendary Marine who had repeatedly cornered the Pirate King Roger. Even at his advanced age, he still possessed such formidable strength and energy. Truly, a person's reputation precedes them; legends are legends, and this one is no exaggeration!
"Is there no one else here if Blackie isn't here? Why are they all just low-level thugs?"
"This place is nothing special. Hachinosu lives up to its reputation; seeing is believing! I'm so disappointed!"
Garp pushed around the entire town's houses, but still no Blackbeard Pirates executives stepped forward to stop him!
To be honest, Garp was genuinely disappointed, not being provoked. There were no ordinary people on Hachinosu, only pirates; he could kill them indiscriminately without making a mistake!
This island got its name because of the large number of pirates who gathered there. If outsiders invaded, the pirates on the island would swarm out like bees guarding a hive, Shrouding the Heavens the sky. Now, Garp personally experienced it and felt that it was nothing special, with no resistance at all!
"If you don't come out... I'll sink this island!"
"Come out!"
" Galaxy Impact!"
Garp stopped attacking the henchmen and instead leaped into the air, unleashing the Conqueror's Haki wrapped around his fist, aiming directly at the largest structure on Hachinosu —the giant skull!
With just one strike, a large chunk of the giant skull's head shattered, revealing Sanjuan Wolf behind the skull structure. This guy had been hiding behind this building, as it was the only place he could hide given his size. However, Garp's Observation Haki had detected his location, and now he could no longer hide!
" Garp!"
The Wolf is Giant Race, and can easily live for three hundred years. In his eyes, Garp is just a rising star in the Navy.
However, this world values strength, and living longer does not necessarily mean becoming stronger. Giant Race are not included in this category, as it is much more difficult for them to Awakening Haki. Facing Garp, a strongman in the Navy, Wolf was still somewhat intimidated. His small body exuded an overwhelming aura, making him feel as if he were facing a mountain!
"That's Lord Sanjuan! Is one of the officials finally going to make a move?"
"He's just an octogenarian. With Sanjuan's size, it's a piece of cake!"
" Sanjuan! Quickly take care of that old man, or he'll destroy Hachinosu!"
"That's Marine Garp the Hero! Can he really beat him? He doesn't look like an old man at all!"
"Though the tiger is old, its might remains! Though the Wolf is powerful, it has been forced to reveal itself—difficult! difficult! difficult!"
The appearance of the Wolf gave many pirate henchmen great confidence, but some of them were not so blindly confident!
They could tell that this octogenarian was nothing like an old man; he was more ferocious than a young man, charging back and forth relentlessly without being able to withstand a single blow. Did Lord Sanjuan really have a chance of winning? Why didn't the officials all attack together? That might give them a better chance of winning!
" Wolf! You'd better come back to Impel Down with me obediently. The food there is pretty good now, otherwise I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you!"
After delivering his punch, Garp landed on the rooftop of a building, his eyes fixed on the large face behind the skull, a chilling smile on his face!
Giant Race have a very long lifespan, with a very high lower limit. Any giant can easily defeat hundreds of ordinary humans. However, the upper limit of Giant Race is not very high. The most powerful prince Loki, was defeated by Shanks, not to mention the others. Even if the person in front of him has lived a long time, he is just so-so in Garp's eyes!
" Garp! I was already famous throughout the seas before you were even born. Don't think you're invincible just because the Navy has given you the title of hero. You think I'll obediently follow you? Dream on!"
Wolf never wanted to go back to Impel Down. With his size, being locked up in a cell was too stifling. He had heard of the name of the Marine Garp the Hero, after all, many of the great pirates in Impel Down's sixth level were captured by him.
However, he was captured Impel Down before Garp showed his true strength, so he didn't have a direct understanding of Garp's power. Therefore, before they actually fought, he was no weaker than anyone else, which came from his confidence that he was even bigger than a Titan!
"Hahahaha! Let's see if your words are tougher, or my fists are tougher!"
"Huh? A sneak attack!"
Just as Garp was about to beat the Wolf half to death, his Observation Haki suddenly gave him a warning, and a scene flashed through his mind!
A nearly transparent figure was rushing towards him at high speed, the long sword in its hand already wrapped with Ryuo, aimed directly at his back!
The scene flashed by in an instant, and before he could even finish, Garp turned his head and glanced behind him. He didn't see anyone approaching him and realized that someone with special abilities was about to ambush him!
Shiryu's Future Sight was fast, and his full-speed sprint was also fast. However, since his sneak attack was already anticipated, and even anticipated by a powerful figure like Garp, his full-speed sprint was a joke!
As Garp turned around, he casually swung his arm, and his fist, wrapped in Armament Haki, deflected Shiryu's sword. His other fist then struck Shiryu in the stomach!
Shiryu flew back even faster than he had come. His transparent body reappeared after spitting out a mouthful of blood. It was still that annoying face, and the same military uniform Impel Down!
"That's Lord Shiryu!"
"Lord Shiryu has been sent flying!"
"How is this possible? That's Shiryu! He couldn't even withstand a single punch from that old man Garp, and it was a sneak attack!"
"Even with Lord Shiryu's strength and the power of the Clear-Clear Fruit, he can't get close to that old man? Such powerful Observation Haki? This is terrible!"
"Where are the other cadres? Why aren't they coming out to join in?"
