Capítulo 75: Chapter 75: Oars Jr. vs "Iron Fist" Garp
"Damn it..."
At that moment, Garp, his face swollen and blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, crawled out of the rubble in the forest, shaking his head. His disheveled figure sprinted back onto the battlefield.
"Garp!" Tsuru sighed in relief upon seeing that he was relatively unharmed.
"Sorry, I got a bit careless just now..." Sengoku, still in his hybrid form, asked, "Garp, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Garp replied, spitting out some blood and shaking his head. He clenched his Haki-coated fists, glaring at the beast-like Oars Jr. with sharp eyes. "That guy... his strength is no joke!"
"It's Rear Admiral Sengoku!"
"The Famed Fist of Love, Garp, is here too!"
"And the renowned beauty of the Marines, Rear Admiral Tsuru, is also present!"
"Great, it's the famous Marine trio!"
"Everyone, move! Don't let those criminals escape!"
At that moment, several hundred Marines, who had been stationed at the rear to block off other escape routes from the first island, rushed forward, joined by a few CP agents in suits. Seeing Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru facing off against the criminals who had attacked the Celestial Dragons, they felt a surge of morale.
"Rear Admiral Sengoku, have you found any trace of Saint Hanic?"
A squad leader from CP7 hurried up to Sengoku, eager for news. The higher-ups had given strict orders to rescue the kidnapped Celestial Dragons at all costs.
"When we arrived, these criminals had already killed the Marines stationed here... Go check the auction house immediately!" Sengoku commanded, pointing towards the auction house.
"Quick, search for the World Nobles!" the CP7 officer ordered, leading his men toward the building.
"Heh heh..." Linlin and her crew watched this with smug, mocking expressions but made no move to stop them.
"Tsuru, you take charge of the Marines and handle those guys…" Sengoku said, feeling a deep sense of foreboding. Without hesitation, he charged toward Linlin. "Garp, let's go!"
Before his words were fully spoken, Sengoku stomped the ground, turning into a golden blur. In his hybrid form, he was much faster than before.
"Buddha's Impact Wave!"
A golden palm radiated a blinding light, carrying a terrifying shockwave as it crashed down toward Linlin.
"Ma-ma-ma-ma, you're a lot faster now..." Linlin grinned, her demon-like form menacing, wings outstretched. Her sword, wrapped in Haki, swung out fiercely. "But it's still not enough!"
"Mighty Nation!"
In an instant, a powerful wave of sword energy tore through the atmosphere, clashing head-on with Sengoku's shockwave.
'Boom... Boom...'
'Clang... Clang...'
Continuous explosions and clashing echoed as the hybrid-form Linlin and Sengoku battled. Linlin's gleaming greatsword met Sengoku's golden fists and palms, sparks flying with each strike.
Although Sengoku was more agile in his hybrid form, his golden body's defense and increased strength still couldn't match his full Buddha form. Faced with Linlin, who had mastered advanced swordsmanship under El's training, and whose Mythical Zoan Vampire form enhanced her strength, speed, and reflexes, Sengoku struggled to keep up.
Though not in immediate danger, Sengoku was clearly at a disadvantage against the overwhelming power and speed of the young natural-born monster.
Despite being a rising star of the Marines, Sengoku couldn't help but feel frustrated, being repeatedly pressured by someone so much younger. He was shaken by Linlin's immense strength but not overly worried. After all, if they could stall Linlin's group long enough, once a Marine Admiral arrived with reinforcements, these pirates would be trapped with no way out.
"Hey, you really gave me a beating just now!"
Garp charged toward Oars Jr., his fists coated in Armament Haki, gleaming as they struck out. "Fist Meteorite!"
"Beast Fist Art!"
Oars Jr., undaunted, faced Garp head-on. His massive green fists, also covered in Haki, met Garp's blows in a fierce exchange.
Although Oars Jr. wasn't the sharpest, through years of intense training under El's guidance, he had finally mastered the Six Powers techniques. With El's help, he developed a fighting style that suited his giant frame—Beast Fist Art. Combining the finger pistol and fist techniques from the Six Powers, Oars Jr. no longer relied on finger strikes but instead delivered punches with the force of cannonballs.
Though CP9 agents and even stronger CPO operatives could use the Six Powers, the sheer power Oars Jr. could unleash, enhanced by his size and the Mini-Mini Fruit, was on an entirely different level—like the difference between a bullet and a rocket.
'Bang... Bang...'
In the blink of an eye, fists clashed repeatedly, creating shockwaves in the air. The rapid exchanges of punches were so fast they were hard to follow, with every hit landing solidly.
'Rumble...'
The earth cracked and collapsed beneath their feet from the intensity of the battle. Though Garp's Haki was stronger, Oars Jr.'s overwhelming strength allowed him to hold his ground against Garp's barrage of punches.
After all, Garp had yet to reach the peak of his strength. In time, he would grow far more powerful, but at this moment, Oars Jr., with his ancient giant bloodline and Mini-Mini Fruit powers, hadn't been fully surpassed. Although Garp gradually gained the upper hand, he couldn't completely dominate Oars Jr.
"This guy…" Tsuru watched in shock, amazed that Oars Jr. could hold his own against Garp's infamous fists. She knew well how Garp trained, pushing himself to insane limits. Yet, his legendary fists had met their match in this ancient giant.
However, what she didn't know was that Oars Jr., thanks to his robust physique and Mini-Mini Fruit abilities, had strength comparable to a "steel balloon." For years, under El's grueling training regimen, Oars Jr. had been smashing mountains as part of his daily workout. His simple-mindedness made him a perfect student, following El's commands without question, no matter how tough things got.
Seeing El's dedication and even more brutal training sessions inspired Oars Jr. to push through his own limits. Determined to help El achieve his great dream, Oars Jr. had endured everything without complaint. His training intensity, surpassed only by El himself, had resulted in rapid growth over the past eight years. His raw power was now on par with Garp's at this stage.
"You've got no time to worry about others!" Nef sneered as she charged at Tsuru, flicking her hand and sending a green energy ring flying toward her.
'Swish!' Tsuru, reacting swiftly, dodged the attack. But Nef pressed on, launching more green rings toward her, which Tsuru skillfully avoided. However, the Marines behind Tsuru weren't so lucky, as the rings latched onto their necks, arms, and legs, trapping them.
"Damn it…"
"What are these things?"
"They won't come off!"
"Shoot! Don't let them escape!"
'Bang... Bang...'
The Marines and CP agents opened fire on Nef, Rock, and Jien, while others charged forward with swords drawn.
"Heh... We're not that easy to deal with!"
Rock and Jien rushed forward to meet the Marines in battle.
"Rankyaku!"
"Fish-men Karate: Scattershot!"
'Boom... Boom...'
Capítulo 76: Chapter 76: Tsuru's in Danger
"Crack... crack..."
"Bang... bang..."
On the chaotic battlefield, bullets, shells, and rockets were fired relentlessly at Rock of the Longleg Tribe and the Fish-Man, Jien, detonating amidst a thick cloud of smoke.
"Storm Leg: Full Sever!"
Without warning, a massive, arc-shaped slash tore through the air, slicing forward with devastating force.
"Ahhh..." Numerous Marines and CP agents screamed as they were cut in half. A towering tree was cleanly severed, leaving a smooth, chilling cut.
"That guy..." Tsuru, who was engaged in battle with Nef, narrowed her eyes in shock. From the smoke emerged a monstrous figure resembling a humanoid flea.
"Is that... a flea?" Tsuru was astonished. She hadn't expected Rock, the Longleg Tribe fighter, to be a Devil Fruit user, capable of such powerful slashes while also mastering the Six Powers.
"Heh, you've got a sharp eye to recognize his hybrid form so quickly," Nef smiled, flinging two pet rings toward Tsuru, trying to trap her. "Rock is a user of the Insect-Insect Fruit, Model: Flea. The Longleg Tribe is already known for their incredible leg strength, and with the Flea form's enhanced jumping power, his leg techniques are greatly amplified."
"His strength ranks among the top in the Fallen Angel Pirates!"
Thanks to her Devil Fruit powers, Nef had no intention of engaging Tsuru in close combat. Her hands glowed green as she continuously threw pet rings at Tsuru from a distance, shifting her position to stay clear of direct confrontation.
"Fallen Angel Pirates?" Tsuru dodged the green rings, her eyes widening in disbelief. "You're one of Fallen Angel El's subordinates?"
Tsuru was familiar with the notorious Fallen Angel Pirates. Their captain, Fallen Angel El, had a bounty of six hundred million berries at the age of nine. Even Admiral Steel Bone Kong, their superior, had once suffered a major defeat at El's hands.
Years ago, when Steel Bone Kong was still a candidate for admiral and commander of the G-11 base, he had underestimated El, nearly losing his entire fleet in a battle with the young Lunarian.
"Heh, surprised, aren't you?" Nef laughed. By now, the Fallen Angel Pirates no longer needed to hide their identity. With their captain already in action, there was no fear of revealing themselves to the Marines.
"What's your purpose in attacking the Celestial Dragons?" Tsuru's expression grew serious as she locked eyes with Nef. If they were indeed members of the Fallen Angel Pirates, their attack on the Celestial Dragons couldn't just be revenge against the World Government. It had to be part of a larger, more strategic plan.
"I've heard you're quite the strategist, being the brains of the Marines' 'Trio.' Why don't you try guessing?" Nef taunted with a sly grin, gesturing toward the Marines and CP agents she had already ensnared with her pet rings.
"Grab her!" she commanded.
"Damn it…"
"We can't control our bodies!"
"Rear Admiral Tsuru, look out!"
The Marines and CP agents, now under Nef's control, charged at Tsuru, despite their own shock and frustration.
'Whoosh!'
Tsuru swiftly evaded their attacks, but her gaze remained locked on Nef, growing more wary. "So, it really is the Pet-Pet Fruit," she muttered to herself, recalling details from the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. She had already suspected Nef's abilities and was careful to avoid direct contact with the green rings.
"Rear Admiral Tsuru, we're sorry! We can't stop ourselves!" the controlled Marines and agents cried as they continued their assault, unable to resist Nef's command.
"Storm Leg!"
Suddenly, the sound of rushing air filled the battlefield. A figure, laughing wildly, dashed toward Tsuru, unleashing a barrage of leg attacks that seemed to tear the very air apart.
"Paper Art!" Tsuru's face paled as she skillfully weaved through the storm of kicks like a sheet of paper in the wind, avoiding each strike with incredible grace. However, Rock's flea-enhanced strength and speed were overwhelming.
"Sorry, but we're not fighting alone!" Nef sneered from a distance, throwing another pair of green rings toward Tsuru.
'Whoosh, whoosh...'
"What?!" Tsuru, focused on dodging Rock's attacks, couldn't react in time as one of the green rings landed around her neck. The next moment, Rock's powerful kick struck her squarely.
'Boom!'
Tsuru cried out in pain, spitting blood as she was sent flying, crashing hard into the auction house amidst dust and debris.
"What?"
"Tsuru!"
Sengoku and Garp, who were locked in fierce battle with Linlin and Oars Jr., turned in shock, their faces filled with anger and worry as they saw Tsuru's defeat.
"You let your guard down!" In her hybrid form, Linlin moved like a shadow, appearing in front of Sengoku, who was already struggling and distracted by Tsuru's injury. With a swift and brutal slash, Linlin's blade tore through Sengoku's golden defense.
'Splurt!'
Blood sprayed as Sengoku's chest was slashed open. Though he managed to avoid a fatal blow, the deep wound left him staggering, forcing him to retreat.
"Elbaf Spear!"
Not letting up, Linlin pressed her advantage. With her Haki-enhanced sword, she launched a devastating attack at the retreating Sengoku, her observation Haki locked onto him.
"Sengoku!"
'Boom! Boom!'
Garp's face twisted in fear as he saw the attack coming, but Oars Jr. wasn't about to let him interfere.
"Super Spin: Iron Body Ball!"
Oars Jr. leaped into the air, spinning at incredible speed. His massive, Haki-covered body became a blur as he hurled himself like a cannonball toward Garp.
"Get out of my way!" Garp roared, his massive fist glowing with Armament Haki as he unleashed a powerful punch to meet Oars Jr.'s attack.
'Boom! Boom!'
