When Ars opened the battle, Garp and Shanks immediately started their battle. Garp immediately accelerated at high speed towards Shanks while his right fist which was coated with his advanced Armament Haki was ready to be used to attack Shanks.
Shanks didn't hold back either. His Griffin sword was instantly activated with his sword instantly ignited by the scorching flames. Along with the flames, his sword had also been coated with advanced Armament Haki along with his Conqueror's Haki.
*BOOM!*
The two attacks clashed against each other and created an enormous impact in the area around the battleground. Strong winds instantly hit the spot along with flashes of lightning flashing in the area around where the clash between the two attacks took place emitted by the attack from Shanks.
"This..." Ace who saw this incident immediately fell silent, "What... Is this the power of that old man?" Ace muttered with a surprised face and he realized in the past, Garp was just playing with him.
The clash between the two attacks didn't last long as Garp's punch was stronger than Shanks' defense. Shanks was immediately repelled by Garp towards the back.
However, Shanks quickly stabilized his body condition and immediately counterattacked by delivering a slash that was powered by his Armament Haki. Garp also did not slacken seeing the attack released by Shanks, Garp immediately accelerated forward while destroying every slash made by Shanks using his iron fist and unexpectedly Garp had reappeared in front of Shanks.
"Bastard Akagami Boy! Take my furious blow!" Garp shouted as he unleashed his full blow on Shanks.
Shanks also immediately re-coated his sword with the power of his advanced Armament Haki and his Conqueror's Haki as he slashed from the ground up.
*BOOM!*
The clash of attacks between the two happened again. Terrific waves immediately created in the surrounding area.
However, it is different than before. In the battle between these two attacks clashed. Shanks did not lose but both got a draw. Without waiting for long, Shanks immediately twisted his body and immediately kicked Garp's body with full force while Garp's body was still in the air.
"Bad" Garp said as he immediately mobilized his body covered in full Armament Haki, "Tekai!"
*BOOM!*
The attack was overlaid by the power of his advanced Armament Haki and the power of his Conqueror's Haki. That's why before his foot strike hit Garp's body, Garp had already felt the impact.
The two attacks clashed again. Garp's Rokushiki mastery ability was already at an advanced level. While followed by Garp's very strong Haki defense. The impact of Shanks' attack didn't leave the slightest wound even though the clothes Garp was currently wearing were still intact.
Shanks didn't waste much time. After repelling Garp several meters in front of him. Shanks immediately slashed at Garp with his advanced Armament Haki covering the attack. Meanwhile Garp also countered the attack using his punch.
"Akagami…" Mihawk's eyes narrowed seriously, "This guy's strength hasn't diminished at all…"
"Arara~ Garp-san's strength is still as scary as it used to be" Aokiji said in a serious tone while watching the battle that was taking place.
"Hmph! Garp-san has to win for us to be able to carry out our wishes." Akainu said in a serious tone while watching the battle that was currently going on.
"Yo, yo… What a terrifying power. Is this the power of the Yonkou Akagami no Shanks?" Borsalino asked in a low voice but contained no ridicule at all. Because Borsalino knew that if he had to face Shanks right now. He likely wouldn't be able to have an opening to attack.
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
Garp and Shanks traded attacks with each other. The attacks the two of them gave their opponents could be said to be extremely terrifying. However, the attacks they had had no impact on the battle arena and didn't even leave a scratch on the battlefield.
Garp who had just been thrown by the impact of Shanks' attack instantly used his moon move and pushed his body towards Shanks using the momentum created by him in the air to attack Shanks who was currently on the ground.
Shanks who saw the attack that was about to be unleashed by Garp also didn't relax himself. Once again the two collided with each other.
*BOOM!*
The battle between buying and selling attacks occurred again. The impact of the two's attacks even at this moment could be felt by everyone who was watching. Everyone could feel the terrifying Haki power of the two people currently fighting in the battle arena.
Ace, who was currently watching, was said to have fallen silent as he watched Garp fight. Ace saw Garp fight seriously for the first time and didn't think that Garp's strength was so terrifying.
"Garp's power never changes. He's still as scary as ever" commented Shakky who was currently watching the battle through the cellphone that Rayleigh had given him.
"Unlike the people of our time" Rayleigh said in a deep tone as he drank the drink in his hand, "Garp is not a drinker. He always keeps his body in a fit state. It was also what made Garp's strength not decrease and always maintain his strength. In fact… I feel Garp's power is slightly stronger than before."
Shakky sighed "That guy deserves the title of hero"
The battle between Shanks and Garp resumed with the two buying and selling attacks. The two attacks they both released were in a draw. Neither can fully attack each other.
Island of Saboundy Archepelago, Area 13.
The current time is noon or lunch break. At this moment in front of the Guild Doflamingo finally arrived there with a smiling face full of enthusiasm.
"Fufufu~ Is this the place?" Doflamingo smirked, "There is nothing interesting in this place" Doflamingo then walked towards the entrance of the guild.
But at that moment Doflamingo was about to touch his doorknob to open the guild entrance. Instantly Doflamingo's hand was immediately repelled by a force so strong that it immediately bounced off.
"What is it?" Doflamingo frowned and tried again.
However, just like his previous experiment, Doflamingo's hand was immediately bounced back. However, the resulting power was stronger than before. Doflamingo's hand seemed to ooze some kind of blood from the wound he suffered even though it was only a small wound.
"Fufufu~ Interesting place" Doflamingo muttered, "I think I'm too late to be able to watch today's great battle" Doflamingo smirked then looked around and saw that there was a bar located near the guild. The bar is Shakky's. Doflamingo without waiting for a long time immediately walked towards the bar to be able to monitor while also waiting quietly there.
By the time Doflamingo arrived at the entrance of the bar. Doflamingo listened to the sounds of battle within the bar.
*Drink*
Doflamingo immediately went inside and saw Shakky who was currently sitting on the sofa watching the battle currently taking place between Garp and Shanks.
"Welcome" Shakky immediately lowered her gaze and looked at Doflamingo who was currently smiling at her with a smirk, "I didn't expect to meet a step guest like you" Without any fear, Shakky said calmly to Doflamingo.
Doflamingo looked at Shakky with a smile full of eyes but Doflamingo was currently in a state of alert because it was through his Observation Haki. Doflamingo could feel the terrifying power of Shakky or this woman right in front of him.
"Fufufu~ I happened to come here because I wanted to visit the building over there. However, it looks like I'm out of luck as the building is currently closed." Doflamingo replied calmly.
"There's something going on at the place right now and it's probably not going to open for some time. You can come back in a few days. It's possible that the place has reopened." Shakky replied calmly.
"I think so too" Doflamingo replied calmly as he walked towards one of the seats there, "However, I found something interesting." Doflamingo's gaze stared at Shakky, "Can I watch too? The battle between Vice Admiral Garp and the Yonkou Akagami no Shanks"
Shakky exhaled the smoke calmly "As expected of you. You can find this little information even when the information about the place is still unknown to many people." Shakky paused and continued, "How did you get that information?"
"Fufufuf~ Saaa, it might just be a coincidence that I got it" Doflamingo said with a grinning grin, "How? Can I watch together?"
Shakky exhaled the smoke from the cigarette she had just inhaled, "It's fine for me to let you watch. How much will you pay?"
"Hehehe… This is interesting." Doflamingo replied with a low chuckle, "How about 100 million berries?"
"100 million berries? That's too little. The current battle was a battle between Vice Admiral Garp and the Yonkou Akagami no Shanks. Many people have the desire to watch this battle. Just 100 million berries is not enough to pay for watching this battle."
"Fufufufu~ Alright. I think so too. How about 500 million berries? I think this money is enough to pay for watching the battle, right?"
"Agreed" Shakky said with a smile, "Would you like a drink? I have a special drink here and this drink is obtained from the guild. However, the price itself is also decent. What do you think?"
Doflamingo's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this, "You are a very scary woman. Alright, I accept it. The payment problem will be sent by my person in a moment"
"Okay" Shakky nodded and immediately put her cellphone in front of the table then took out a bottle of drink that Rayleigh had given her earlier to give to Doflamingo.
Doflamingo immediately went to the sofa currently occupied by Shakky and began to watch together the battle between Garp and Shanks while drinking the prepared drink. Doflamingo, who first tasted the taste of the drink, was immediately surprised because he had never tasted such a delicious drink in his life.
