Shiryu was constantly being attacked, while Hibari and Kujaku quickly arrived at the spot where " Koby " had crashed. After all, it was carrying a large iron ball, so the commotion it caused was considerable, making it easy to find!
When the two arrived at a large pit, they found a large, strangely-nosed old woman lying in it, with a large iron ball tied to her ankle. The woman's face was exactly the same as Catarina's on the wanted poster, which completely confirmed Mr. Garp's insight!
" Kujaku! What do we do? This is fake! Where is Koby- senpai?"
Hibari was very nervous. She had a good impression of Koby, otherwise she wouldn't have volunteered to come and rescue him. But now she couldn't even see a single hair on Koby's head. It would be a lie to say she wasn't worried. This island was a pirate island, inhabited entirely by pirates. Anything could happen!
"They should be fine. Mr. Garp hasn't told us to look for them anymore, and besides, Helmeppo is there. He hasn't shown up at all. Maybe he's Mr. Garp's trump card, and he's on a top-secret mission!"
Kujaku was much calmer. Without the interference of emotions and love, her mind was naturally more focused. Moreover, it was strange that Helmeppo hadn't appeared at all, since they had just made a very conspicuous appearance with " Koby." If Helmeppo knew, she would definitely appear to protect her friends!
The two women returned with a head full of question marks, and then they saw Chang Wei Lai Fu... no, it was Mr. Garp beating the traitor Shiryu!
Shiryu being beaten for so long, he's really tough! Catarina slept so soundly after just one punch, men are definitely more resilient!
"Stop! Why are you only hitting me and not them? With your Observation Haki, you can't possibly not know where they are, right?"
Shiryu was also numb from the beatings; it had been quite a while, and he hadn't landed at all. You can imagine how many blows he had taken.
The old man won't seriously injure you, but the pain will be so intense it will writhe and convulse, reaching deep into your very soul!
He had already removed his Armament Haki defense, and the old man was no longer using Armament Haki on him, confirming his earlier suspicions. But taking this beating all the time couldn't go on; the pain could kill someone. Couldn't this old man take a break? Or perhaps find someone else to beat him up?
"Hurrah!"
Garp readily accepted Shiryu's suggestion, and then he took the punch from the old man, who was covered in Armament Haki, without any defense. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and after that punch, he was severely injured, weak, and unable to move!
"Old man! You have no sportsmanship!"
Garp ignored Shiryu's resentment and grievances. Where were they before? Anyway, this guy was already seriously injured and unable to fight!
Garp leaped up and landed on top of the skull structure, where the Wolf Sanjuan was hiding!
The Wolf's nickname is Colossal Battleship, and he should have the ability to throw cannonballs with his bare hands like Garp, but he's too big, meaning he's too big a target—he's practically a sitting duck!
Facing the Wolf's surprised and suspicious gaze, Garp grinned and shot out like a cannonball, leaving only a large hole in the top of the skull!
Wolf looks intimidating, and he has a great advantage against ordinary Marine Vice Admiral. But once you reach the level of Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, you can fight back and forth with a big guy like Wolf!
Encountering a special Vice Admiral like Garp, it's a matter of one punch. With Garp's speed, Sanjuan Wolf couldn't react at all. A punch landed squarely between his eyebrows, and the Wolf's huge body flew off the ground and crashed headfirst into the sea outside the island.
"The next one is probably still hiding in the building!"
" Galaxy Impact!"
After knocking the Wolf away, Garp's body fell from the air. When he reached a certain height, he punched a part of the skull structure from a distance, instantly blasting a large hole in it. A figure was blown out along with the rubble.
The person Garp targeted was Heavy Drinker Shot, who had been hiding inside the skull building looking for an opportunity. However, Vasco was too fast, and Garp's flames couldn't lock onto him. In order not to expose himself, he didn't make a move, but Garp still managed to find him with his Observation Haki. After all, Garp's aura was like a guiding light for the Hero of the Marines!
Vasco coughed up a mouthful of blood, only then feeling much better. The power of the Galaxy Impact was considerable; even from a great distance, he could still feel Garp's fist hitting him, a full-body impact!
To avoid falling to his death, the Vasco had to exhale alcohol bubbles to support himself as he fell to the ground.
On the other side, Garp crashed straight to the ground. He himself was unharmed, only his clothes were slightly dirty, but the ground beneath his feet could not withstand the impact and was smashed into a large crater.
Then Vasco saw the man emerge from the crater and walk towards him step by step. Each step felt like it was pounding on his heart, making him feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood. He felt himself becoming smaller and smaller, while the old man opposite him grew taller and taller, like a mountain, about to crush him!
"Don't come any closer!"
Vasco's fear amplified infinitely. He, who was fearless in the past, was finally scared. The old man in front of him was too ferocious. He was not like a human being at all. He was so old, but he did not have a single quality that an old man should have. He was completely contrary to the laws of nature!
"Ah! This is the fourth one!"
"That person is too strong; he's simply unbeatable!"
"Help! When will the Admiral return?"
"Even if the Admiral returns, he probably can't win!"
In less than a quarter of an hour, three of the officers were crippled, one was trembling in fear, and another was nowhere to be found. Garp's power filled the henchmen with despair; he was invincible!
No one dared to attack Hibari and Kujaku anymore. Some had already broken down mentally, muttering to themselves like zombies, while others were rushing to the port to escape. An island full of pirates had been driven to the brink of collapse by Garp!
Garp continued striding toward the Vasco, his steps steady and imposing, each step leaving a deep imprint on the ground.
As the two drew closer, Vasco steeled his resolve, knowing that no matter what he did, things would end badly, so he might as well take a gamble!
Perhaps the old man is already at his last gasp? Perhaps he'll run out of energy by the time he gets here? Perhaps he's just bluffing to scare me away? Otherwise, why doesn't he finish me off in one go? Why does he have to come step by step?
With a question lingering in his mind, Vasco chose to believe the guess that was in his favor. He took off the flask on his back, took a big gulp of wine, and sprayed it directly at Garp, who was walking towards him. The wine ignited into a raging fire as it flew through the air, instantly engulfing the approaching Hero of the Marines in flames, and he burst into flames!
"Hahaha! I'll burn you to death, you old bastard!"
Vasco was thrilled. Garp had finally been hit! This was the first time the old man had been caught off guard since arriving on Hachinosu, and it was Garp who had made the move. Did this mean the old man's stamina was failing, that he couldn't even dodge such a simple attack?
Then he'll burn the old guy to ashes. He's Devil Fruit User, capable of continuously producing flammable substances like alcohol. Once the old guy is ignited, he guarantees the flames on his body won't go out until he's burned to ashes!
" Lafitte! Come out! The old man's been hit; he'll be burned to ashes soon. If you don't come out now, you'll see his last rays!"
Vasco took another big gulp of wine, his smugness evident, and loudly beckoned Lafitte, who was hiding in the shadows, to come out and watch the show.
Although Lafitte was just a navigator, he was extremely cunning and cautious. He was the one who devised the previous sneak attack plan. With Blackbeard away, he was the one who did all the thinking!
No one answered the Vasco's shouts. Lafitte either didn't believe in his abilities or had already sensed the danger and fled!
Time ticked by, and Sibake found it all rather boring; no one had witnessed how he burned the legendary Hero of the Marines to death!
