Chapitre 38: Chapter 38

Title: Garp: 'How About We Get Rid Of Sakazuki Together?'

"I'm truly worthless, I'm a coward!" Garp's voice broke as he wept, his heart heavy with self-reproach.

He knew he had the power to steal Luffy from the Celestial Dragons, to stand with him an Ace and roam the seas as a family. Yet, he had never been able to take that decisive step. The word "Marine" had become a thunderous barrier, one he couldn't bring himself to cross.

"Vice Admiral Garp," a guard rushed over with a transponder snail, "Admiral Sakazuki is calling."

"Sakazuki, huh... That kid was strongly in favor of Ace's execution," Garp muttered with a hint of hostility in his gaze. He had been disillusioned with the Marines and had his own motives for this mission.

"Pass me the transponder snail," Garp ordered the adjutant, who promptly connected the call. "What's the matter, Sakazuki?"

Garp's voice was devoid of emotion, mechanical even.

Akainu frowned, feeling like he was being attacked in a moment of vulnerability. Considering his ruthless style, he believed that Garp should be arrested. Garp's son was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and both his grandsons were pirates. The taint of criminality seemed to run deep in their genes.

"We're heading to Dressrosa soon. The Black Dragon is hovering over the island. Let's eliminate him together," Akainu stated ambitiously.

Garp responded with a blank nod. "I understand."

Haw!

After the brief exchange, Garp disconnected the transponder snail, refusing to engage further with Akainu.

"You old coot, what's with the attitude? Once I become Fleet Admiral, I'll have you retire immediately!" Akainu spat out his resentment. He had meticulously planned an attack strategy in light of the Black Dragon's threat, but the old man Garp had cut him off before he could present it.

"Have you found it?" Garp inquired of Koby, his trusted confidant.

"I've found it. Admiral Garp, are you sure about this? There's no turning back once you take this step," Koby replied with a complicated expression, dreading the possibility of witnessing a legendary Marine veer off course.

"They're ruthless and can't blame me for being ungrateful; they showed no mercy to my grandson either. Criminals don't deserve sympathy, but family is different!" Garp declared passionately, his face flushed with emotion.

Taking the transponder snail from Koby's hand, he spoke with unwavering resolve, "Doflamingo, it's Garp."

"Fufufufufu~~~ The Marine hero calling a government-declared criminal, quite the surprise," Doflamingo mused with curiosity about Garp's intentions.

"Step aside. I'm not interested in talking to you. Hand the transponder snail over to the Black Dragon," Garp demanded forcefully.

Doflamingo seethed, "You..."

"Watch your tone. You've already delayed important matters. Be careful; the Black Dragon might just skin you alive," Garp warned coldly.

"Old man, don't get carried away!" Doflamingo retorted defiantly.

Doflamingo though... Were very honest, he was running to send the phone bug after all, his legs were in overdrive. There had to be a significant secret at play here. Any further delay might result in the Black Dragon boss truly deciding to end him.

Meanwhile, at the southeastern port of Dressrosa, the Black Dragon's Observation Haki enveloped an area spanning tens of kilometers. Even with the Marines utilizing coated ships, they were still hundreds of meters deep in the sea, it was impossible to avoid his watchful perception. He knew that Garp and Akainu were the ones leading the charge, but he had already begun planning his retreat. There was no need to engage Akainu and Garp in a final battle at this moment.

"Brother!" Doflamingo rushed over with the phone bug, the urgency in his voice palpable. The Black Dragon regarded him with suspicion. "Why haven't you withdrawn yet? I'm preparing to depart. Dressrosa won't hold for much longer."

Doflamingo hesitated before speaking, "It's Marine Hero Garp calling."

"Garp?!" The Black Dragon's momentary confusion was understandable. It would've been normal if he was Admiral Xilan but... Currently he was the Black Dragon, a figure that is doing all kind of evils, his current criminal activities included selling Celestial Dragons and Marine Vice Admirals, which painted a very different picture at the moment.

"Let me talk to him."

Doflamingo handed over the phone bug, and the Black Dragon took it with a puzzled expression. "Yo, old man."

"This old man wants to make a deal with you," Garp stated directly, catching the Black Dragon off guard.

In the world of the Marines, Garp was renowned for his unwavering principles.

Was he planning to betray them now?

The Black Dragon was genuinely surprised, murmuring to himself, "It seems that Luffy becoming a slave has deeply disappointed Garp in the World Government and the Marines."

"Speak, old man, I'm listening," the Black Dragon replied expectantly.

"You're undoubtedly strong, but if I team up with Sakazuki, you'll be outmatched," Garp declared confidently.

Although he didn't particularly like Akainu, he couldn't deny the Admiral's overwhelming strength.

"Outmatched?" The Black Dragon sneered, finding the idea amusing. "Old fool, how dare you say that."

"You..." Garp's eyebrows furrowed as Xilan had also addressed him as "old fool."

Was it a coincidence?

"If you're just here to boast, there's nothing for us to discuss," the Black Dragon said, disheartened, about to disconnect the call. However, Garp's next words piqued his interest.

"How about we get rid of Sakazuki together?"

Chapitre 39: Chapter 39

Title: Actor Garp Enters The Show, Enraged Akainu

"Are you going to fight Akainu with me?" the Black Dragon inquired with curiosity.

Garp hesitated, then sighed after a moment, "I won't take action. I can't completely abandon the Marines just yet."

"Then how will you help me?" the Black Dragon asked.

Garp countered with a question, "What are your odds of defeating Akainu if you face him alone?"

The Black Dragon sneered, displaying disdain on his face, "Just Akainu? Don't bother asking; it's 100%."

Given the Black Dragon's incredible power, it was no wonder the Marines had dispatched two top-tier experts.

"I'll play passively," Garp explained.

"Heh, that's fine too," The Black Dragon smiled strangely, amused by the idea that Akainu was about to face his downfall while Garp played the role of an actor. Even in the Original during the Summit War, as a Marine Hero, he was still defeated by his grandson Luffy, funny indeed.

Thinking ahead, he mused, 'When Akainu loses the battle and gets sold, it will make quite a profit. Auctioning off a Marine Admiral at a Human Auction would be extremely exciting to consider. Starting price, four or five billion Berries!'

"What do I need to pay?" Xilan asked after calming down.

"Celestial Dragons! My identity is sensitive, so I can't act directly. You need to retrieve my grandson, Luffy!" Garp laid out his conditions.

Few dared to confront the Celestial Dragons, but the Black Dragon was undoubtedly one of them.

"By the way, I sold your grandson to the Celestial Dragons," the Black Dragon said slowly. "Don't you hate me?"

"That's right, I despise you for what you did to Luffy," Garp admitted, "But you also saved Ace once, and I'm a person who acknowledges debts. I have to thank you for that, so we won't owe each other in the future."

Garp added, "This time, it's just a fair trade."

"In that case, I will cooperate with you!"

----

Ten minutes later, the Marine battleships officially began to rise from the sea. Suddenly, dozens of warships appeared on the horizon, wasting no time as they unleashed a furious barrage aimed at Dressrosa.

Forty warships fired simultaneously, making the Buster Call seem tame in comparison.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Cannonballs rained down from the sky, turning Dressrosa into a sea of flames and an infernal landscape within minutes. On the island, people screamed in terror.

"Attack!" Akainu ordered, waving his hand. The battleships charged forward, racing towards the shore at full speed.

As an Admiral, Akainu led the charge.

"Meteor Volcano!" he commanded.

Countless magma fists rocketed into the sky before descending upon Dressrosa with devastating force. Akainu showed no mercy, caring little about the presence of civilians; Dressrosa was a den of criminals, and its remaining inhabitants were, in his eyes, also "criminals."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the city's center, a terrifying shockwave erupted, shaking Dressrosa to its core.

The effects of the Conqueror's Haki continued to ripple across the battlefield, causing Marine soldiers to fall to the ground, incapacitated with foam coming out of their mouth. The magma punches were also scattered in the air. Even Akainu, a seasoned warrior, felt a sense of dread, "What a strong Conqueror's Haki... Doflamingo is not st this level, could it be... ".

Akainu suddenly looked up, and as expected, the dark dragon was already looking down on him from the sky.

"Black Dragon!" Akainu bellowed, his anger palpable. "You dared to sell a Marine Vice Admiral at the Human Auction House. Today, I will end you!"

With Garp by his side, Akainu felt emboldened, and shouted to the 'Marine Hero', "Let's attack together!"

He activated his Soru technique, propelling himself forward at tremendous speed, closing the gap between himself and the Black Dragon in an instant. His fist, wreathed in molten lava, aimed to strike the Black Dragon's head with crushing force.

"Dark Hound!" Akainu unleashed the full power of his lava-based attack. This move was notorious for severely injuring Whitebeard during the Marineford War in the Original work.

"Small tricks!" The Black Dragon sneered and retaliated with his own devastating technique "Roar of the Black Dragon!" He opened his maw and released a torrent of dark energy in response.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

An explosion rocked the sky, as the dark energy annihilated the incoming magma fist. Countless fragments of molten rock scattered like fireworks.

While the attack failed, Akainu wore a wicked smile. By targeting himself, the Black Dragon had exposed his rear and left himself vulnerable to a counterattack from Garp.

Akainu turned his attention to the rear but found Garp conspicuously absent.

"Where is he?" Akainu muttered with disbelief.

He had expected Garp to launch a sneak attack, and it should have been a guaranteed success. But Garp was nowhere to be seen.

He shifted his gaze away and finally spotted Garp standing on the deck, organizing Marines to assist the wounded.

"Vice Admiral Garp!" Akainu roared, feeling his anger rise to a boiling point, 'Marshal Sengoku sent you here to fight alongside me, not tend to the wounded!'

"What's wrong, Sakazuki?" Garp looked at him with genuine curiosity.

"Why didn't you launch a sneak attack when you had the chance? The Black Dragon's back was exposed, and you could have inflicted significant damage with your strength!" Akainu raged, exasperated. "You had a perfect opportunity!"

"What? I didn't know about that tactic. You should have told me," Garp replied innocently. "Remember to give me a heads up next time. This old man's brain isn't as sharp as you young folks."

Akainu's face turned an even deeper shade of red. Did they really need to discuss this?

Furthermore, Garp had hung up the phone when he had tried to discuss tactics earlier.

"Don't get mad, Sakazuki. This time, I'll attack from the front!" Garp proclaimed, throwing off his Marine cloak and revealing a stern expression. He fixed his gaze on the Black Dragon with determination. "Now, it's time for me to get serious."

Akainu stared at him in silence, nodding silently.
