Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Still haven't succeeded?

I still haven't tried hard enough!

This is dangerous. If Aokiji jumps down, he can completely freeze this area of ​​sea. Even if the Going Merry is powerful, being frozen will make it like a lamb to the slaughter, not to mention the huge warships around it.

Aokiji clearly thought so too.

He was kneeling on the edge of the broken wall, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His general's cloak was badly torn, and he looked quite disheveled.

Luffy's desperate attack came at a great cost to him.

He endured his injuries, walked out and stood on the edge of the broken pillar, looking at Luffy falling and Robin and the others who were trying to catch him, his eyes cold.

Although there might be some mixed feelings inside, at this moment, the duty of being a naval admiral outweighed everything else.

He didn't want to experience the power of that punch again. Now, all he needed to do was jump down with Luffy and freeze the sea, and that would be the end of it.

I want to add some water.

But with the navy all around, he couldn't release the water.

"Go down and end all of this."

Aokiji silently prepared to leap into the sea, freezing the surface completely and ending this farce.

However, at this critical moment...

"Straw Hat Boy!"

A loud, rough, and somewhat familiar voice, like thunder, came from the direction of the stormy sea.

Suddenly, a huge naval warship appeared below the waterfall. Its bow was shaped like a dog's head. It cut through the waves and charged towards the waterfall with an aggressive posture.

At the bow of the ship, a burly old man wearing a vice admiral's cloak was holding a huge cannonball in one hand, letting out a deafening laugh towards the direction of Enies Lobby:

"Hahaha, I've come to get you!"

Aokiji, who had just been about to give chase, froze instantly when he saw the dog-headed warship and the familiar figure at its bow. He couldn't help but grin, his face showing the most troublesome expression. Finally, he simply plopped down on the edge of the broken pillar and rubbed his forehead.

"This old man arrived way too fast."

Now he has a perfectly good reason not to take action.

Navy hero Garp personally took action. Why shouldn't this admiral, who fought a great battle, take a rest?

Even if the Warring States period marshal were to scold someone in a meeting, Garp would definitely be the first one to be scolded.

Even Aokiji suspected that Garp had appeared at the exact moment.

What a coincidence!

Then let heroes catch heroes, good men catch good men, and grandfathers catch their grandsons.

He doesn't care anymore, and he can't care anymore.

Haven't you heard that the sound of warships' cannons has decreased significantly?

The navy is very good at handling interpersonal relationships.

Garp's signature booming voice, like thunder, pierced through the explosions of cannonballs and the howling wind, striking Luffy's eardrums precisely.

"grandfather?"

Luffy shuddered, cold sweat instantly breaking out on his body. The bandages Chopper had just put on him were soaked through. He instinctively turned to Robin and asked, "Is that a dog-headed warship?"

Robin glanced at it and nodded. "It should be that Marine hero, Garp."

Grandpa really came!

He was completely exhausted and unable to move, so he could only be held tightly in Robin's arms.

Although the touch from behind was unusually soft and warm, he had no romantic thoughts at the moment; his mind was filled with only one word.

run!

Zoro and Sanji, standing nearby, both seemed to be burning with fighting spirit.

He shouted hurriedly, "Don't fight! Don't fight! Let's go! We absolutely can't fight him!"

This was the first time Nami had ever seen such clear fear on Luffy's face. Even when facing Admiral Aokiji, he charged forward fearlessly.

Is your grandfather really that scary?

"Of course!"

Luffy blurted it out almost without thinking, his voice trembling slightly.

"That old man is a monster among monsters!"

The psychological trauma of being subjected to hellish training by Garp's "Iron Fist of Love" since childhood has given Luffy a natural fear of Garp.

It can be described in one sentence.

If you don't cultivate yourself, you'll see me like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky. If you do cultivate yourself, you'll see me like an ant seeing the blue sky.

Luffy can now definitely be called a top-tier fighter on the sea, which is why he has the ability to recognize Garp's unfathomable strength.

Luffy was perfectly lucid at that moment.

Having just fought a fierce battle with Aokiji, and with their crew in low spirits after a major battle with the Navy, they are definitely not going to have an easy time against Grandpa!

From the day he became a pirate, he knew that one day his grandfather would come to capture him, but he never expected that day to come so soon, and in such a disheveled state.

Luffy has already defeated an Admiral, so why would he be afraid of a Vice Admiral?

I may be scared, but I'm not going to back down!

The best way to overcome fear is to face it.

Luffy had Robin lead him to the most conspicuous spot on the deck, and then he shouted out his unconventional words: "Old man! Aren't you about to retire? Why aren't you drinking tea and reading newspapers at Marineford? Why are you wandering around here!"

"Pfft, hahaha! You really dare to say that? You're not even calling me grandpa anymore? Luffy, you brat."

Garp stood at the bow of the dog-headed warship, hands on his hips, laughing loudly, his voice shaking the world, "My greatest wish before I retire is to capture all of you brat pirates who disrupt the order of the seas and do nothing but cause trouble and send you to Impel Down!"

You really are my dear grandfather!

"You old man, you should just go and drink your tea and eat your rice crackers!"

"Pfft, hahaha, why should I listen to you, you bastard pirate?"

Before he finished speaking, Garp casually grabbed a huge cannonball taller than a man from the side of his feet, his arm muscles bulging, and tossed it seemingly casually.

Fist Bone - Meteor!

The cannonball left the hand at an astonishing speed, cutting through the air with a piercing whistling sound, heading straight for the mast of the Going Merry.

Chapter 210 Has this old man been promoted to a higher generation?

If that hits hard, the Going Merry will instantly lose power.

He appeared ruthless, but his adjutant, Bogart, had already seen through everything.

Lieutenant General Garp's act was so clumsy, it was like he was just playing around.

"The force was too weak."

Beside Garp, the silent lieutenant Bogart, who had been holding his sword, shook his head slightly and whispered in a voice only he could hear.

He had followed Karp for over half a century and knew his old boss all too well.

This attempt at playing along is so clumsy, it's like they're just fooling around.

The ferocity and power with which Garp threw cannonballs when he was chasing Roger and the Rocks Pirates in God Valley was completely different from what he showed now.

Garp was really into it back in God Valley? He knocked out several of the current Four Emperors with a single punch, sending them running for their lives.

But this is his own grandson after all. Could he really bring himself to kill him?

He watched Luffy grow up since he was a child and even called him uncle.

How incredible is Garp's strength?

Even without using its full strength, the speed was not only fast but also impossible to see clearly. All that could be heard was the sound of something cutting through the air before the black shell reached the deck of the Going Merry.

Luffy instinctively tried to stretch out his arm to block, but his body felt weak.

He gritted his teeth, "Robin, throw me out."

Deflect the shells.

He's a rubber man!

But Robin didn't listen and kept holding him tightly in her arms.

At this point, it's time to trust in the strength of your partners.

A flash of green light appeared as Zoro made his move, his Wado Ichimonji striking the side of the cannonball precisely, deflecting its trajectory. The cannonball grazed the ship's side and fell into the sea, creating a huge splash.

"Hey Luffy, wanna fight? I have a feeling that old man is not someone to mess with."

Zoro flicked his sword and looked at the dog-headed warship with a serious expression. He especially noticed Bogart, who stood next to Garp with his sword in his hand. Bogart's sharp swordsman aura was not to be underestimated.

Luffy really wanted to spar with his current grandfather, but he knew he couldn't fight him.

"No fighting! There's no need!"

Luffy made a quick decision: "Nami! Vivi! Merry! Full speed ahead, let's go!"

"learn!"

Little Merry responded excitedly. As a ship spirit, she was in tune with the Merry. Even without anyone directly controlling the rudder, the ship shuddered under her guidance and, taking advantage of the huge whirlpool current below, its speed increased again.

As the ship's navigator, Nami quickly got everyone to their respective roles.

As a top-notch navigator, Nami immediately got into action, loudly commanding, "Zoro, Sanji, intercept all incoming cannonballs! Usopp, Chopper, adjust the angle of the jib sails and use the crosswind to accelerate! Vivi, use your abilities to push as far as you can!"

"Leave it to us!"

Although Usopp and Chopper were so frightened that their legs went weak, they still scrambled toward the sail.

Vivi stood at the stern, arms outstretched, surrounded by surging air currents. The powerful wind propelled the Merry forward like an arrow.
