One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

Katakuri even used the power of his awakened Devil Fruit, but he still couldn't do anything to Aramaki.

However, the reverse is also true; the destructive power of Huangmu can only be described as average.

Katakuri, in any case, didn't feel much pressure.

Even when facing a giant tree-man many times his own size, Katakuri was completely at ease.

Under the influence of his Observation Haki, Huang Mu's every move was predictable.

Even if Aramaki suddenly comes up with a new move, Katakuri has already seen it in advance through his foresight, so he can deal with it with ease.

Looking at it this way, there is indeed a reason why Aramaki was not promoted directly to Admiral like Issho, but was only given the title of Admiral Candidate.

He is stronger than a typical vice admiral, but weaker than other admirals.

If there's really no one else to choose from, then we could let him take the place and become the weakest admiral.

With Kizaru, Akainu, and Fujitora around, there's no way he'll get the position of Marine Admiral.

Don't forget, it was Kizaru who personally captured Katakuri and brought him to Impel Down.

By comparing them in this way, the strengths and weaknesses can be clearly distinguished.

Katakuri and Aramaki are locked in a protracted battle, and it's estimated that the outcome won't be clear until the war ends.

Smoothie's attack went very smoothly.

The main reason is that the chaotic battles on the battlefield are perfect for Smoothie to resupply.

She can do anything that Huang Mu can do.

They captured a few marines and immediately began to exploit them, restoring and strengthening them in various ways.

It's impossible for Jiaji to instantly kill Smoothie.

As time went on, Smoothie's condition improved, while Gaji started to become somewhat out of breath.

This is the benefit of being able to resupply on the battlefield.

If things continue like this, the scales of victory will tip ever more in Smoothie's favor.

Of course, this is on the premise that Jiaji did not hide his true abilities.

To date, Kaji has not used any Devil Fruit abilities, and it is unknown whether he has none or is looking for an opportunity to use them.

If it's the former, then the outcome is basically decided.

If it's the latter, then Smoothie needs to be careful.

The more a Devil Fruit ability is kept hidden, the more terrifying it is.

If you're careless, you might get 'instantly defeated'.

In short, this is the current situation of the Marineford War.

The Dragon Hunter Guild holds a certain advantage, but it is not enough to turn that advantage into a victory.

We need a catalyst!

Chapter 941 The End of a Hero

"Garp, you've gotten old after all."

After a long and fierce battle, Abel looked at Garp, whose breathing was already somewhat disordered, and said without any politeness.

Perhaps the passage of time did not cause Garp to decline from the peak of his strength.

But time has left its mark on Garp as well.

That's physical strength!

In his youth, Garp could go three days and three nights without sleep before engaging in a fierce battle with Roger.

What now?

Just the sheer force of unleashing his full power to shove zombie Kaido and zombie Big Mom into the ground was enough to make him feel exhausted.

Then they fought relentlessly with Abel.

Every minute that passed was a huge test of Karp's physical strength.

"Fist and Bone - Galaxy Collision!"

Garp leaped into the air and swung his fist, which was wrapped in terrifying Haki, downwards.

At the same time, Abel also wielded the [Autumn Water], wrapped the blade with Conqueror's Haki, and slashed out instantly!

Keng!

When Garp's iron fist and Abel's [Autumn Water] collided violently, black arcs of electricity instantly exploded outwards, destroying everything around them.

And then, with a loud bang!

The ground beneath Abel's feet immediately sank 5 meters, creating a large crater.

Then, in the next second, both figures were sent flying backward.

Abel planted his feet on the ground, plowing out two furrows, and slid for several dozen meters before stopping.

Garp, on the other hand, forcibly adjusted his body the instant he landed, squatting into a horse stance, his feet plunging into the ground like nails.

"Garp, there aren't many people in the Navy that I admire, but you're one of them."

"Step back now and let me take Luo away. I can spare his life."

"This is my last act of mercy!"

Abel spoke in a deep voice, issuing his final ultimatum.

Garp straightened up. "Even if I wanted to agree, my fists wouldn't allow it! So as long as I can stand, you can't take me away!"

"Alright, then I'll have a contest with you to see whose fist is harder!"

Abel planted the [Autumn Water] directly in the ground next to him, and then reached out his hand to Baby-5 next to him.

It turned out that while he was moving backward, he deliberately adjusted his direction and used the momentum to get to the vicinity of baby-5.

After resting for a while, baby-5 has recovered some of its physical and spiritual energy.

We can have another soul resonance.

"Baby-5, Demon Weapon, Gauntlet Mode!"

"I am coming."

Baby-5 rushed towards Abel, then transformed into a beam of light that enveloped Abel's hands.

As the light faded, a pair of silver-white metal gauntlets with a cyberpunk style appeared in his hands.

Meanwhile, a thick iron chain was attached to the end of the gauntlet, extending all the way to Abel's body, wrapping around his upper body to form an 'X' shape.

"Soul Resonance!"

hum...

A strange fluctuation instantly caused the gauntlets on Abel's hands to change.

The gloves, which originally only covered the hands, extended to the elbows, covering the entire forearm.

The mechanical gauntlets expanded to twice their original size, transforming from a rusty cyberpunk style into a streamlined, aesthetically pleasing metallic fist.

In addition, each robotic arm's outer shell is equipped with six additional rows of external jet nozzles.

Even the chains wrapped around her chest had turned a bright silver-white.

It looked as if it had been polished and sanded.

If this continues, Garp will definitely be the first to give up.

But Abel disdained to do so.

He wants to completely defeat his opponent in Garp's area of ​​expertise!

"Madness...Abyss!"

A deafening roar erupted instantly!

The six rows of jet nozzles on the silver-white mechanical arm shell of Abel's right hand instantly lit up with blue flames!

Propelled by the raging flames, Abel arrived before Garp in the blink of an eye.

A ferocious metallic fist slammed straight at Garp's face!

"First punch!"

boom!

Garp's iron fist clashed with Abel's heavy metal fist, and a surge of air swept across their faces.

With the help of his raging flames, Abel's punch, imbued with the Heavy Strike and Shatter properties, only held for a brief moment before sending Garp flying.

"The second punch!"

Abel shouted, and the six rows of jet nozzles on the silver-white mechanical arm shell on his left hand lit up with blue flames!

The powerful propulsion allowed Abel to catch up with Garp's flying figure in an instant.

Then the second punch was unleashed!

Since Garp was in the air and couldn't gain any leverage, he simply crossed his arms in front of his chest, concentrating all his Armament Haki on his arms for defense.

However, when Abel's second punch landed on his arms, Garp's expression changed instantly.

weight!

Unparalleled weight!

The power of this punch was almost twice that of the previous one?!

This kind of improvement is truly terrifying.

Just hear a bang!

Garp transformed into a cannonball, flashing through the air before crashing heavily into the ground.
