章 757: The Fall of Garp! Reaching Ace's Side!

*Chapter's Events:*
—————————
"It's Garp the Hero!!!"
"The bridge is falling!!!"
"Do something fast, Strawhat boy!!"
...
On the bridge that collapsed due to Garp's overwhelming power, Garp started speaking forcefully:
"Luffy, I've been fighting pirates since long before you were even born!!!"
"You'll only get through here over my dead body!!!"
"Strawhat Luffy!!!"
Standing between Ace and Luffy, like the last barrier, Garp clenched his teeth and spoke:
"That is the path you two have chosen!!!"
"Gramps!!!" Ace felt sorrow for his grandfather and this fate.
As many memories returned to Luffy's mind,
("Don't be soft!!! You're gonna become the strongest marine there is.")
("If you're like that, the pirates will kill you in no time!!!")
These were some childhood memories of how Garp was training Luffy to be the strongest marine.
Luffy felt deeply saddened:
"I can't do that. Grandpa!!! Please move!!!"
"If you can't, then Ace will die!!!"
He said this as if urging him to continue.
"No!!!" Luffy didn't want this either.
"I've done plenty of things you don't like!! I won't hold back!!!"
Garp gathered his fist, saying,
"Luffy! You're my enemy!!!"
As his fist approached Luffy, Garp began to remember the two little boys he used to take care of.
("Right now, I want to live!!")
He closed his eyes as he remembered what Ace said minutes ago about wanting to live.
"Garp!!"
Sengoku sensed Garp's extreme hesitation and suffering at this moment when he decided not to hit his grandson and allowed him to punch him instead.
"Uwaaaah!!!"
Garp took Luffy's punch and fell from the bridge like a projectile.
"Vice Admiral Garp!!?"
Luffy jumped twice on the remains of the broken bridge and reached the platform.
Sengoku clenched his teeth, saying:
"You're a father yourself, Garp…!!"
•———•———•———•———•
After a little hesitation, readers around the world turned the page to the next chapter, embracing this emotion-filled scene.
Older readers who had grandchildren understood Garp's feelings and inner struggles completely in this scene.
This scene carried a lot of emotions as Garp ultimately decided not to hit his grandson but let him hit him instead… everyone realized that… after all, Garp wasn't weak enough to be defeated by his grandson's punch.
"It's more accurate to say he was defeated completely."
In Ohara, at the art store, Clover sighed sorrowfully about Garp's situation, which hadn't been good since the beginning of the war.
"His burden is much heavier than it seems." Homing added, commenting on Garp's situation.
"Why can't he rebel?" Brook asked curiously.
"Rebel against what? The world government? Or his justice?"
Vegapunk posed a deeper question.
"He can't rebel; Garp spent his life as a hero of the marines. He can't give that up and become an enemy of the marines even if it's for his family."
Clover gave his opinion.
"I don't see that as favorable either… I was also a vice admiral, and I understand what Garp-san feels." This time Saul spoke.
"But from this scene, it's clear that blood is thicker than water. Even if he said Luffy is his enemy, he couldn't force himself to punch his grandson and push him away from the platform like he did with Marco."
Issho added, commenting on the scene.
"Does that mean Luffy is stronger than Marco? Of course not, but he has an advantage Marco doesn't. He's Garp's grandson… Garp said before, family is a completely different matter."
"Even Sengoku understands that…" Mihawk nodded at Issho's explanation and added.
"Of course he understands that, or why else would he be the last person standing there next to Ace instead of Garp? Fuffuffu~" Doffy laughed, praising Sengoku's wisdom.
"It's interesting to see how Sengoku will react to Luffy's arrival…"
"Will we finally see his power?"
Enel and Rosinante felt some excitement.
"This is the Fleet Admiral! The strongest in the marines! Above the three admirals! What will his power be like?"
…
Marineford:
"He really reached the platform…" Sengoku was shocked at this moment after seeing Luffy put his foot on the execution platform.
"What's with this old geezer!" Sakazuki felt extreme anger at how Garp dealt with his grandson.
"Obviously, he's pretending!"
"Well… if I were in his place, I wouldn't be able to hit my grandson either." Zephyr commented.
"I feel sorry for Garp's situation." Tsuru said sadly.
"Arara- It's annoying dealing with a rebellious grandson."
Internally, Kuzan felt sorrow for his teacher as well.
"Don't tell me he's really going to free his brother? How scary~"
Borsalino found this turn of events interesting.
"It's impossible for us to lose! If we lose this war and don't announce Ace's execution to the world, the pirates will go wild with excitement… the losses that will follow are unimaginable… the world cannot bear our loss against the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Sengoku described the consequences of losing the war in detail.
Saving Ace from execution meant their total loss!
Hearing this, the admirals and vice admirals focused back on the manga pages in their hands.
The answer they all wanted lay here.
"There it is… Golden Buddha… my power is being displayed in the manga for the first time…"
Boom! "Instead of targeting the key in his hand, why didn't you target his head!"
Sakazuki hit the table and pointed his finger at Borsalino while repeating.
"Well, well, why don't we calm down, Sakazuki-san… it's obvious that my counterpart doesn't want a personal enmity with Garp."
Borsalino said calmly.
"For God's sake! What is Mister 3 doing here!"
Sengoku didn't care about Sakazuki's endless nonsense as he almost lost his mind when he discovered that Mister 3 was one of the executioners.
…
"What's this? This is scary! What a monster…"
"How will Luffy survive this monster?"
"Is this the power of the Fleet Admiral?"
"Huh… this? Who…? Is this my stupid counterpart…? What's he doing here!"
"This is impressive…"
In the Roshwan Kingdom of the South Blue, Galdino adjusted his glasses with a big look of admiration on his face after getting a clear view of the scene in the manga.
"Will I be your wax wall again?"
"That's fine if it's for my protection too…"
"As expected… for Bon-chan's memory… so my counterpart values true friendships that much."
Galdino felt some happiness with a little sadness when he remembered Mister 2, whose fate was still unknown in Impel Down.
"This… amazing!"
This time Galdino couldn't contain his emotions and shouted excitedly… well, the readers in the art store in Roshwan didn't care about Galdino's enthusiastic shouting because they were shouting with excitement too.
After all, the awaited scene had arrived!
"Oh my God!"
"These golden flames! This symbol! This explosive power!"
"Ooooooh! Finally!!!"
"Ace has been freed!! Luffy did it!!!"
"I'm so excited! This is awesome!! I'm crying!"
"Hahaha!! Don't forget that Mister 3 helped with his ability to create a wax key identical to the one Kizaru broke!"
All around the world, readers celebrated the release of Ace from his cuffs after a very long journey… finally, Luffy did it.
