The Second Shadow Garden Member!
Faced with the overwhelming and fierce attack, Ivan suddenly stomped on the ground, his body soaring into the sky, avoiding all the attacks.
He was in mid-air, his body crackling with black and Conqueror's Haki Inazuma, and terrifying Haki condensed on his fist. "Fist Bone - Galaxy Impact!"
It was his own move again!
Garp's eyes widened as he charged forward, his iron fist, imbued with destructive power, slamming fiercely towards Ivan.
The next moment, the two collided in mid-air, simultaneously hitting each other's cheeks!
Boom!
The shockwave exploded outwards from the two of them, and Vice Admiral such as Onigumo, Yamakaji, Strawberry had no time to defend themselves and were instantly blown away by the violent blast.
To the rest of the sea, Marine Vice Admiral of incredible strength could barely manage to join the battle!
Although they are Vice Admiral, the gap between them and Garp and Fox is still too great!
The shockwaves from the battle between the Fox and Garp kicked up a huge cloud of dust. The dust billowed into the sky, obscuring everyone's vision.
As the smoke slowly dissipated, everyone stared intently at the two figures that were faintly visible within it.
When they reappeared before everyone's eyes, the sight in the smoke made all the navy personnel's hearts stop.
In a huge, deep pit, Garp slowly stood up, a trickle of bright red blood spilling from the corner of his mouth!
Garp the Hero was injured in this battle!
The Fox standing opposite him, although punched in the face by Garp, had a completely smooth face without a single scratch.
His breathing was steady, as if he had not suffered any injury at all.
"How... how is this possible!"
The Marine Vice Admiral who witnessed this scene were utterly incredulous. They never imagined that in this clash, the legendary naval Garp the Hero would be at a disadvantage!
Yamakaji struggled to his feet, supporting himself with his longsword. His pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock, "Vice Admiral Garp... he actually lost a direct fistfight?!"
Not to mention the horrified expressions on the faces of Yamakaji and the others, even Garp himself was in turmoil.
He could clearly feel that the heavy punch had landed squarely on the Fox's cheek!
But what he saw before him shocked him.
With a crisp sound, the mask on the Fox's face shattered, revealing an ordinary-looking face.
However, this seemingly ordinary face withstood Garp's full-force punch without even a trace of redness or swelling.
He spent his life conquering the seas, and countless pirates had taken his heavy blows, but none had ever managed to withstand them unscathed!
But the Fox in front of him not only learned his moves after seeing them only once, but also withstood his full-force punch without getting hurt?!
Just how terrifying was the strength of his physical body?
Across from Garp, Ivan remained calm, and after noticing the shock on Garp's face, he even raised an eyebrow.
But only he knew that Garp's all-out attack had already cracked his skull!
He suppressed the excruciating pain and used the Life Return and some Reverse Cursed Technique techniques to quickly repair his shattered skull, which is why he appeared to be handling the situation with ease.
At the same time, having just exchanged two punches with Garp, he had exhausted a huge amount of energy and could only exchange two more punches with Garp before he had to leave.
To be on the safe side, he directly used the foreshadowing he had prepared beforehand.
Outside the wooden cage, a figure appeared out of thin air in mid-air.
He was dressed in all black and wore a Tanuki mask; he was Ivan's other Wood Clone, and also the Tanuki in the eyes of the world!
Although the Tanuki appeared in a remote location, it quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding navy and pirates.
Upon noticing the Tanuki's sudden appearance, Cracker's expression immediately darkened.
"Two members have actually arrived at Shadow Garden?"
One Fox was already enough to force Vice Admiral Garp and several other Vice Admiral admirals to join forces; now with another reinforcement, it seems the Navy's encirclement is doomed to fail!
Meanwhile, on a high point outside the G-2 Base, Lieutenant Vice Admiral Comil, the branch commander in charge of command, remained calm and had his own perspective.
His eyes were sharp and clear, and he showed no sign of panic. Instead, he said with confidence, "The Tanuki, huh? It seems it has come to support its companions after all."
Just then, we were worried that the Fox would take advantage of the chaos to break through, but now that Shadow Garden has come to our aid, it seems the Fox is truly in dire straits.
The navy will surely win this encirclement and suppression operation!
However, Comil did not let the Tanuki do as it pleased. Instead, he said to the several Marine Vice Admiral gathered around him, "Let's go, comrades. Our mission has begun. If we can stop the Tanuki, victory is within our grasp!"
When the Tanuki arrived near the area covered by the Seastone powder, Comil and other non- Devil Fruit User blocked his way.
Tanuki raised an eyebrow when it saw its former superior, Lieutenant Vice Admiral Comil: "World Government lackeys, you think you can stop me?"
Comil placed his hands lightly on the hilts of the twin swords at his waist, his tone icy. "Traitors and rebels, do not be so presumptuous!"
As a naval officer, I uphold justice and guard this sea. Even if it costs me my life, I will never allow villains like you from the Shadow Garden to run rampant again!
The Tanuki silently gazed at Vice Admiral Comil before it, a hint of melancholy flashing in its eyes.
He knew his former boss very well.
In the world of One Piece, Comil is one of the few who firmly adheres to his principles.
He never killed innocent people indiscriminately, and what he sought was never power or merit, but simply the simple peace and justice in his heart.
But it is precisely these good people who are bound tightly by this era.
It's not that he can't see the darkness of the World Government, that he's unaware of the Celestial Dragons' brutality, or that he's unaware of the dirty deeds disguised as justice.
However, he was limited by the times. Even if he saw the truth, he could not break free from the Justice Coat, nor from the deeply ingrained rules and stances.
Thus, under the shadow of power, he could only uphold his own goodness while being forced to run for that enormous evil, sinking deeper and deeper into contradiction and struggle.
Isn't this another kind of pitiful person?
It is precisely because there are so many people like this in the world that Ivan is ready to stand up. He wants to be the first spark, to ignite the world, and to start a prairie fire!
Therefore, he won't hold back!
At the same time, Comil and his companions used Geppo to launch an attack on Ivan.
At the forefront, Comil drew his twin swords, Armament Haki coating the blades, and shouted sharply, "Two-Sword Style: Wind Slash!"
Two jet-black beams of light slashed towards the Tanuki.
Faced with this attack, the Tanuki easily dodged it using the Flying Thunder God, and then condensed a ball the size of a head in its palm.
Rasengan!
He fired dozens of Flying Thunder God Kunai, hurling them at the numerous Vice Admiral.
As the Flying Thunder God Kunai mingled with the other vice Vice Admiral, his figure flashed frequently in the air.
As the Tanuki's figure re-condensed in the air, the vice Vice Admiral who were confronting it all coughed up blood, having been injured by the Rasengan!
