"Old man Garp, it seems your men have already landed on this island."
Kazu's casual words made Garp's heart tighten.
"What?!"
"These bastards, they actually disobeyed my orders."
Garp was indeed getting impatient. Although his crew members were all skilled fighters, it all depended on who they were fighting.
The Blond Hair Pirates are no ordinary pirate crew; they follow an elite path and don't have many lowly soldiers.
The ordinary soldiers on the ship had no chance to fight back; they were simply being mercilessly crushed and sent to their deaths.
Bogard alone couldn't possibly withstand so many officers of the Blond Hair Pirates.
" Kazu, that's enough for today, kid. I just remembered I have some things to take care of."
Garp's eyes sharpened instantly, his Conqueror's Haki erupted once more, and he clenched his fists, unleashing his ultimate attack towards Kazu.
" Infinite Fist Bone!"
Hey old man, I didn't say you couldn't leave. Your sudden appearance was pretty scary.
Kazu didn't hold back either, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki with all his might, gripping Muramasa tightly with both hands, and attacking without hesitation.
" Phantom Sword Dance!"
Countless fists rained down on Kazu like machine guns.
Kazu also wielded Muramasa extremely fast, the sword shadows were so fast that afterimages appeared, and the sword energy was so dense that it was impenetrable, making him evenly matched with Garp.
Bang!
With the final punch, Muramasa and Garp's fists collided heavily, generating a powerful airflow that sent both of them staggered back a distance.
" Kazu, kid, let's save the outcome for next time we meet."
After saying that, Garp turned around and, with a powerful leap, shot forward an unknown number of meters.
Using Geppo, they left the battlefield with a clattering sound, heading towards Bogard.
Kazu picked at his ear and said casually, "What a forgetful old man. I'm Devil Fruit User, you idiot."
Kazu used a Space Swap technique to appear in front of Behrens and Oulait.
They happened to run into Bogard and his group, and the two sides were on the verge of fighting when Kazu appeared in front of them.
Bogard stretched out his hand, stopping the soldiers' advance, looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy when he saw Kazu in front of him.
" Her Kazi!!"
"How did he end up here? Did Vice Admiral Garp lose the battle?"
"Idiot, Vice Admiral Garp is a hero of our navy, how could he possibly be defeated?"
Kazu turned to look at Behrens and Oulait and said, "Let's not fight today. After all, he's the father of an old acquaintance; we should give him face."
Kazu had a very good impression of Dragon; his dedication to the people was a rare quality in the world of One Piece.
Garp himself is a person with a strong sense of justice, and he deeply despises the Celestial Dragons.
Kazu and the Celestial Dragons are natural enemies. Garp is also the only person in the Navy who openly speaks ill of the Celestial Dragons. He is known as the Devil Fruit User, which is terrifying.
Furthermore, given his status as the chosen one in the original story, Luffy is destined to be an enemy of the Celestial Dragons, making him the perfect candidate to attract Nerona Imu's attention.
These are all his good helpers; how could Kazu possibly cut off his own arm?
The more they caused trouble, the less attention they received from Kazu.
His Blond Hair Pirates could sit back and watch the outcome, perhaps taking the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Imu behind his back.
His Space-Space Fruit was naturally designed for this purpose, with an extremely high success rate.
"Alright, alright, since Captain Kazu has spoken, I will certainly comply."
"What a pity."
When Oulait saw that Bogard was also a swordsman, she had just been thinking of asking Behrens to give him this rare opponent.
" Her Kazi!!!"
Garp, who was high in the sky, hurried here using Geppo, but he didn't expect that kid Kazu would be faster than him.
He hadn't even noticed how Kazu had overtaken him and gotten ahead of him.
This must be the ability that gives Kuzan and Borsalino a headache.
"Hey, old man Garp, I've been waiting for you for ages."
Kazu greeted Garp with a smile, his relaxed demeanor suggesting he didn't want to continue the fight.
"You're really something! I didn't expect you to be faster than me!"
Although Kazu knew what Garp meant, it still sounded a bit awkward.
"Alright, tell me. We were just about to start our banquet when your navy caught up with us, and even sent you, their naval hero. You're treating our Blond Hair Pirates like the Roger Pirates!"
"Hahaha, I really don't know whether to feel honored or helpless."
Although Kazu's words were barbed, Garp received a completely different message.
"What?"
"You're actually planning to hold a banquet?"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's begin!"
Garp had eaten and drunk with Roger and others after fighting before; this wasn't the first time he'd done it.
Besides, the Blond Hair Pirates are familiar with his grandson and son, and even Makino is on the ship, so what does he have to be afraid of?
Most importantly, it's lunchtime now, so what are we waiting for if we don't eat?
