Garp took a step in the direction where the Black Pearl had stopped while maintaining a somber look as he passed by everyone on the ship, reaching the back since all 20 ships were facing Dressrosa.
"Lucy!!" Garp raised his eyes to meet his granddaughter, who was still smiling at him, clearly unconcerned that they were now enemies.
"Grandpa!!! I missed you!!" she exclaimed, while the crew behind her, excluding Shirahoshi, was quite cautious about the situation.
"..." Garp didn't speak as he simply crouched, his knees flexing, and shot off the ship toward his granddaughter's pirate ship.
"Grandpa... Hm?!" Lucy didn't even have time to react as Garp grabbed her, startling her.
"What are you doing, Grandpa?!" Lucy exclaimed angrily as she was lifted into the air by her clothes, Garp grabbing her by the shoulder.
"What am I doing? I'm going to discipline my granddaughter for becoming a rebellious pirate!!" he exclaimed with a stern look, while Lucy tried to break free from his grip.
"I may be a pirate, but I still fight for my own justice, Grandpa!" Lucy protested.
"A pirate is a pirate!!!" Garp yelled right in her face.
Even Shirahoshi was a little worried, along with the others this time, upon witnessing this scene.
"Neee... what should we do?!" Hachi murmured.
"We have no choice... we must fight the Marines!!" Vivi said with a firm tone.
"Hurry, let's go!" Nami responded, conjuring claws in the air as she advanced.
Garp looked to the side as four members of his grandson's crew appeared—Hachi wielding six swords, Shirahoshi the sea king, Nami with her air claws, and Vivi generating wind with her Devil Fruit.
"So, you all want to fight as well, brats... Tell me... have Luffy's daughters been born? Am I a great-grandfather already, huh?!" Garp took the opportunity to ask something he had been curious about for the past year.
"Luffy's daughters?" Lucy murmured, stopping her struggle for a moment as she thought about it, before smiling at her grandfather.
"Yes, Luffy had Aurora and Luna with Boa Hancock... which makes me an aunt!" Lucy exclaimed, causing Garp to raise an eyebrow. Her granddaughter didn't stop there and continued talking. "And not just them... he had three more children... So, actually, I'm an aunt of five!" she said cheerfully.
"Five?" Garp's mouth dropped open upon hearing that. He knew that with Luffy being surrounded by so many women, he would eventually have more children... however, this was more than he had predicted.
"Yes, Luffy had three girls and two boys. And there are still two more on the way..." she commented thoughtfully. "One of the mothers is even right there." She pointed to Vivi, knowing there would be no problem telling her grandfather this.
But Vivi didn't like that and pointed at Lucy.
"Hey, don't spill things so easily and don't involve my Sinbad in this!" she exclaimed, showing shark-like teeth.
At that moment, Garp, who was surprised and silent, looked at Vivi and then at Lucy.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yes." Lucy said, still smiling.
Garp remained silent.
"Grandpa, are you okay? You look like you're about to cry..." Lucy suddenly asked, seeing Garp visibly emotional.
"It's nothing, just got something in my eye." he murmured, while this confusion unfolded on the Black Pearl, with the Marines watching the scene, confused, not fully understanding what was happening, waiting for any signal of conflict or an order from Garp to resolve things. After all, it was his granddaughter there, and no one wanted to interfere in such a personal matter without the Vice-Admiral's permission.
"What should we do, Admiral Kizaru?" a vice-admiral asked the present admiral as he analyzed the situation.
"They seem to be in some sort of family dispute... how frightening," Kizaru murmured and continued, "Anyway, let's wait for Garp to handle this. There's no sign of Monkey D. Luffy at the moment, but I'm sure it won't be long before he shows up. After all, we're near his territory." Kizaru commented, without much hope of taking any of Luffy's crew members hostage, as the last plan had gone horribly wrong.
"Well, that doesn't matter now..." Kizaru murmured to himself, waiting to see how things would unfold.
Suddenly, Garp returned to his usual self, his serious gaze still focused on his granddaughter. "Let's forget about that, and now I declare that you are under arrest, because you're a pirate," he said simply to his granddaughter, while Lucy, her eyes wide open and now worried, looked at him in shock.
"Wait, you can't do this to me, Grandpa!" she exclaimed, almost in despair, as if she was already being taken to Impel Down.
"This is bad... should we prepare to fight, right?" Nami exclaimed, readying her claws for a confrontation to save Lucy.
"You think you can take me on, brats?" Garp grumbled, unbothered.
But before they could continue, Garp stopped, turning his eyes to a corner as if trying to see something behind him. Kizaru was looking at the sky, along with many vice-admirals, their Observation Haki more refined.
"It seems he has arrived after all..." Kizaru commented.
"You should go a bit easier on your granddaughter, Grandpa..." a voice emerged at that moment, and everyone looked up in surprise to see Luffy appear in the sky, his black wings arched as he glided through the air, flying over the ships and staring directly at the Black Pearl, where his grandfather was.
"LUFFFYYYYYY!!!!" Lucy exclaimed joyfully, while the rest of the crew looked on with a sigh.
Garp turned his body toward his grandson, a small smile forming on his lips, but with the same determined gleam in his eyes. "You finally showed up, brat. You've barely returned after a year, and you're already causing chaos everywhere you go, even at the start of the New World. I can't let you do as you please. I will fight in the name of justice and take you down, my troublesome grandson!!" Garp declared.
"Well, Grandpa, we're here to negotiate. How about we start?" Luffy spoke calmly, while Garp stared at him, letting go of Lucy and taking a step toward him, causing Lucy to fall to the ground, looking confused at her grandfather walking toward her brother.
"Alright, let's negotiate... but let's negotiate like a Marine does with a pirate... with fists!" Garp said, beginning to take off his cape and removing it from his shoulders. Everyone watched as Garp walked to the edge of the ship. He flexed his knees and exploded in speed, charging directly at Luffy.
"Wait, they're going to fight?!" Vivi was shocked.
"Wasn't this supposed to be a negotiation? Why is it turning into a fight?!" Nami complained.
"Kizaru...?" Someone looked at the admiral, who sighed. "Alright... we should fight, but we can't damage the ship or go too hard, after all, we might have problems if Garp's grandson ends up winning..." Kizaru murmured, uncertain of Luffy's full strength. But knowing that Luffy had taken down two admirals and left another in critical condition, he was clearly stronger than the reports had suggested, especially since he had shown new powers from his Devil Fruits, making him even more of a monster.
"Very well, Grandpa." Luffy murmured, a smile forming as he moved his wings, then launched himself at full speed toward Garp.
"With you, I can go all out, Grandpa!!" Luffy exclaimed as his skin began to change in the next moment, shifting into his hybrid transformation. His skin turned purple with natural armor, horns sprouting from his head, his eyes glowing an even more intense crimson, as he exploded in strength and shot toward his grandfather.
In the next instant, both their fists collided, with Garp only using his Haki, and Luffy refraining from using his flames, matching his grandfather's Haki. The moment their fists met, the entire space shifted, a burst of black lightning rippling across the sea between the Marine ships and the Black Pearl, causing everything to shake like a tidal wave.
"Help, it's shaking too much!!" the Marines exclaimed, trying to grab onto something.
"They're causing all this with just a punch?! It's almost like we're back at Marineford... in the middle of those monsters, with chaos happening all around, and we could die at any moment from a stray attack," Helmeppo exclaimed next to Coby. He was aware of how Luffy had left him in the East Blue, with fewer teeth, broken bones, while mercilessly killing his father. Even though Luffy was in a critical state, Helmeppo felt anger toward him for that, but he recognized that he could never do anything against that cruel pirate. His anger had turned into fear when he saw him again at Marineford... after all, who could deal with these monsters?
"Vice-Admiral Garp... Luffy..." Coby murmured, watching the battle between true warriors of the sea, as his gaze shifted to the Black Pearl with Admiral Kizaru's orders. Coby simply jumped into the air and rushed at full speed toward the Straw Hats' ship.
"Coby!!" Helmeppo murmured, and with no choice, he followed his companion.
Lucy was watching the fight, ready to intervene, while her crewmates kept an eye on the Marines. The weaker ones aboard the ship were trembling deep within the vessel.
"Here comes the Marines!" Shirahoshi remarked.
"Lucy-san!" Coby exclaimed as he approached Lucy, his former companion.
"Coby... I see..." Lucy murmured, understanding his will to fight, and nodded to her old friend as they both advanced into the air, each with a Haki-infused fist. Their fists collided in the midst of the chaos, though it was nothing compared to the overwhelming power that Luffy and Garp were unleashing. Some admirals also left their ships, passing even Helmeppo, heading toward Luffy's crewmates, while Kizaru made no move.
The first blade to clash was Gion's against the mermaid's trident, standing firm with both weapons coated in Haki.
Three explosions echoed in the air as the rest of the Straw Hats prepared for the approaching vice-admirals. The sky between the two ships had turned into a battlefield, with Luffy's crew trying to prevent the Black Pearl from becoming the Marines' target.
The most shocking confrontation, between the two members of the Monkey family, finally came to a halt as both separated from each other. Luffy and Garp were now more than 30 meters apart, still staring at one another. Luffy kept his same smile on his face, while his gaze briefly lowered to take in all the ongoing fights.
Garp didn't look at the situation around him; he turned his focus back to his grandson, maintaining a serious enough expression to try to defeat him.
"Grandpa... if we keep this up, some of our crewmates might get hurt in the meantime. How about we finish this quickly?" Luffy asked.
"What do you mean...?" Garp questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Your strongest attack against mine, how about it? I want to see if my punch can surpass your Galaxy Impact..." Luffy declared.
"You know about it?!" Garp looked visibly surprised before adopting a more serious expression. "Alright... brat, let's see how much you've grown in these two years... let's see if you can surpass my strongest attack..." Garp commented, and Luffy nodded, both preparing without dragging the fight out any longer.
