Raising his hand, Vice Admiral Garp took off his Marine coat, then loosened his tie and stretched.
He looked at Rob:
"Are you ready? If you are, then the old man is about to go!"
After hearing Garp's words, Rob didn't say a word. He just looked at him calmly, holding Shinto tightly in his hands, already in a complete battle stance.
The wind was coming.
In the blink of an eye, Rob and Garp exuded a sense of oppression that would suffocate an ordinary expert. It was the terrifying aura that could only be driven by a powerhouse on a completely different level at full power!
For a moment—
Knowing that he was not Garp's match, Rob took the lead in attacking. Thunder light exploded on his body, leaving an afterimage, and he passed through the air resistance, instantly appearing in front of Garp.
When Rob was in front of Garp, he smashed through the air resistance, and the sound of the sonic boom echoed. At the same time, shock waves erupted from his speed.
Shinto was lifted, without any fancy moves, just flowing with Armament Haki, then swung a simple but deadly sword towards Garp!
"He's so fast!"
Facing Rob's unremarkable yet deadly slash, Garp looked serious and sighed in his heart.
Then Garp didn't choose to block it directly. With a swift sidestep, he dodged Rob's attack. Apart from being fast, there was no surprise move worthy of praise.
The sword that Garp dodged instantly slashed towards the sky behind him, splitting the clouds in two with the violent energy.
While dodging, Garp raised his fist.
At a speed not at all slower than Rob's, or even a little faster, he punched Rob hard, who was close at hand:
"Iron fist!"
The berserk force hit the air, causing an explosion. The resulting shock wave inflicted the first level of damage on Rob, followed by the air shock wave. Garp's iron fist, wrapped in Armament Haki, struck with tremendous power.
With a flash of thunder, Rob's figure dodged Garp's attack at the same ultimate speed.
Garp's attack grazed Rob's body.
It landed on the battlefield behind him, causing an instant earthquake. The terrifying power of this punch directly shattered all the ruins behind Rob and blasted a small hill on Jaya Island!
In a close-quarters battle, it's natural to see each other's tricks and find the opponent's flaws.
While dodging Garp's punch, a red light flashed in Rob's eyes, and his fighting spirit rose even higher.
Shinto in Rob's hand groaned sharply. When black lightning exploded on the blade, Rob's extremely violent Conqueror's Haki wrapped around Shinto's blade unreservedly, and then he slashed directly at Garp's body.
"Divine Avoidance!"
Shinto, wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, slashed towards Garp fiercely with a domineering strike.
Even Shanks, who could easily injure him, didn't achieve the same result against Garp. Garp raised his left hand, resisting the "Divine Avoidance" slash.
Grabbing with his left hand, he tightly grasped Shinto's blade to prevent Rob from escaping. At the same time, Garp raised his fist and punched Rob's head fiercely!
"Galaxy Impact!"
This time, Garp's iron fist flashed with black lightning, giving Rob a deadly aura. The same move, but different power, just as Garp wouldn't easily block Rob's slash, Rob wouldn't easily take Garp's punch.
But at this moment, Garp was holding his fist. Unless he gave up the sword, Rob would have to take Garp's punch head-on.
"Killer Move: Serious Punch!"
Facing Garp's fist, Rob didn't dodge. He put down his left hand holding Shinto, wrapped Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki around his fist, and met Garp's iron fist.
The two fists that hadn't even collided fought against each other in the air, and the shock wave of violent power swept in all directions, causing large-scale damage to the devastated battlefield again.
The black lightning flashed and galloped, its power pouring into the air, instantly blasting the clouds above the sky.
Conqueror's Haki twisted and collided with the sky.
These are the regular moves possessed by the true top of the sea.
And being able to fight Rob in the air also proves that—
The "Marine Hero" Garp not only possesses a one-in-a-million Conqueror's Haki, but has also raised his own Conqueror's Haki to a terrifying top level.
The two were gritting their teeth in a stalemate, and the shock waves they caused became more and more terrifying. Even the sea around Jaya Island was constantly surging with huge waves!
Quickly, as the wrestling remained nearly equal, the figures of Rob and Garp separated again.
Immediately afterward, the two rushed at each other once more and fought fiercely together!
Rob used all his strengths: sword skills, top-level body skills, top Conqueror's Haki, and Rumble-Rumble Fruit's abilities—all without reservation!
Facing Rob's all-out efforts, Garp was also going all-out, but his techniques remained very simple: Iron fist, Iron fist entwined with Armament Haki, Iron fist entwined with Conqueror's Haki.
With back-to-basics physical skills, Conqueror's Haki trained to the extreme, and far richer combat experience than Rob, Garp at this moment, although not completely suppressing Rob, undoubtedly held the advantage in their battle!
With the fierce battle between the two, Jaya Island was under unimaginable pressure, and the entire island was shaking.
After all, the current Jaya Island is incomplete!
A large piece is still on Skypiea, leaving the island incomplete and naturally unable to bear wars of such intensity.
At the coast, Garp's doghead warship stood by.
Vice Admiral Tsuru held a Den Den Mushi in her hand, talking to Fleet Admiral Sengoku at Marine Headquarters, while looking solemnly at the constantly shaking Jaya Island, feeling the terrifying battle erupting there.
"That is to say—"
Sengoku's words came through the Den Den Mushi:
"That brat's strength completely exceeded our expectations? Right!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded, her face as serious as ever:
"Sakazuki was instantly defeated! If Kuzan hadn't noticed something was wrong with Garp and chose to attack before he made a move, I'm afraid the end result would have been no better than Sakazuki!"
"Plan A has failed! Sengoku, the current Rob, is no longer the 'monster' level we thought, but a true 'apex' of the Overlords of the Sea."
"If Garp can't take him down smoothly, next, we'll have another enemy with terrifying strength on the sea! You'd better think about countermeasures seriously!"
After hearing Vice Admiral Tsuru's words, Fleet Admiral Sengoku at Marine Headquarters had a headache and said:
"Fuck! I originally thought that at his current age, being able to become a 'monster' on the sea was already his limit! I didn't expect him to be even stronger than I imagined!"
After a moment of silence.
Sengoku spoke again:
"But now that I have done it! Let's see it through to the end! The government, the Five Elders, have already issued a death order! Tsuru, if Garp can't take down that brat in a short time, launch the Buster Call!"
"We can't let that kid leave Jaya Island alive! His enigmatic actions, his unpredictable voyage, and his completely unconstrained power have already crossed the line!"
"For justice, kill him—kill Rob!"
After hearing Sengoku's words, Vice Admiral Tsuru's face became serious, and she nodded.
"I understand!"
Soon, the two hung up. Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Jaya Island, and after a moment of silence, directly issued orders to the people around her:
"Everyone, be ready—if the battle isn't over after an hour, immediately activate the Buster Call!"
Hearing Vice Admiral Tsuru's words, the Marine soldiers on the doghead warship were stunned for a moment, but they quickly moved the doghead warship off the shore. At the same time, they prepared to launch the Buster Call order and issue it to all warships in the area if the battle wasn't over within an hour.
"It might not be the right choice," Vice Admiral Tsuru thought as she looked in the direction of Jaya Island, her eyes flickering.
However, she was just a Vice Admiral and a chief staff officer. She had to follow orders.
As the World Government and Sengoku feared, Rob's power—too strong and uncontrolled—posed a significant threat to both the Marines and the World Government. It would be good if he could be completely crushed here. Even though Vice Admiral Tsuru did not approve of launching the Five Elders and Sengoku's Buster Call, she didn't refuse.
As long as they could kill Rob, everything would be fine.
On the island, Garp was fighting Rob. Even if Garp couldn't defeat Rob quickly, he would undoubtedly exhaust Rob and possibly cause him serious injuries.
If they wanted to activate the Buster Call to eliminate Rob, now was the best time. After this, it would be quite difficult to eliminate Rob again, and the price to be paid would only increase.
