Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Karp was impressed by his talent.

Previously, he wanted to recruit the other person into the Navy; now, he wants to make the other person his disciple.

The other person has great talent, and with his careful guidance, he believes there is a 90% chance that the other person will become one of the top few people on the sea!

"What can you teach me if you don't understand swordsmanship? I've already said it, my goal is to become the world's greatest swordsman!"

Becoming Garp's apprentice is very tempting, but it conflicts with Rocks's goals.

Besides, that old guy Garp doesn't know anything about swordsmanship...

More importantly, Rocks did not want to become a member of the Navy.

What he wants is... freedom!

"So you've gone astray, and I'll correct your thinking!"

Garp snorted coldly.

Young people these days are always so disobedient.

Ace was, Luffy was, and even this kid he had high hopes for was.

"Forget about lecturing; save those words for your son and grandson. Right now, I just want to beat you up and leave!"

A fierce fighting spirit gleamed in Lox's eyes.

So what about Garp?

Let's just play one match!

of course.

Rocks was confident but not arrogant.

I don't think I'm capable of fighting Garp right now.

That clash just now already showed the difference in their strength...

I just want to find an opportunity to give this old guy a good beating, and then take the chance to leave...

"You want to beat me up? Then let me see your strength. If you can't withstand three of my punches, you'll obediently become my disciple!"

Garp laughed heartily.

He took a step forward and charged towards Rocks, his fist clenched again, covered by a black, shiny substance, and slammed down with a powerful punch: "Fist Bone!!"

Although he used Armament Haki, Garp still held back.

But this punch was still incredibly powerful, and even a vice admiral from the Navy Headquarters would have to take it seriously!

"That old bastard who has no martial ethics!"

Rocks felt an even stronger sense of pressure from that punch and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "They've even used armor hardening?"

If I were to get hit by that punch, I'm not sure I could take it!

Then stop them!

"A serious punch!!"

Rocks was really going all out.

Armament Haki surrounded his fist, and he unleashed the ultimate technique of the Duke Style Fist. This time, Rocks even used his special ability.

The moment the fist was swung, emerald green energy covered the fist, incorporating the illusory bullet into the punch and amplifying its power.

Abilities are not static.

In Bleach, Ichigo Kurosaki can integrate Cero into Getsuga Tenshou.

This is a technique.

Cero can be incorporated into Getsuga Tenshou, and Cero Bullet can be incorporated into a fist; the ability depends on who is using it!

'Boom!!'

Two fists, one emerald green and one pitch black, clashed fiercely, like needles against wheat awns.

A powerful force erupted, clashing against each other, neither giving way.

With the impact of the punch, a sound that vibrated the eardrums exploded out!

With a 'crack', the floating platform beneath their feet shattered and exploded into pieces.

The shockwave spread outwards, causing the entire Baratie to sway from side to side, with the surrounding seawater surging endlessly...

"You're actually an ability user? You're surprising me more and more!"

During the stalemate, a red glint flashed in Garp's eyes, and his smile deepened: "But you still can't leave my grasp today!"

"Stop talking big, old man!"

Rocks, bracing himself against Garp's fist, gleamed with fighting spirit in his eyes: "How could I possibly be captured by you so easily?"

"Get out of my way!"

Rocks roared and swung his left arm down.

His fist was surrounded by Armament Haki, the air around his fist rippled, and it was covered with a circular emerald green energy. It was still a full-force punch!

"Hey……"

Garp didn't retaliate against Rocks' punch, he just chuckled and said, "Don't be so arrogant!"

Using Observation Haki to predict the landing point of Rocks' fist, he used Armament Haki to defend in advance.

Three punches as promised!

He has already thrown two punches.

So this last punch will knock this kid down, and then he'll take him back to Marine Headquarters to be his apprentice!

'Thump!'

Rocks' punch landed solidly on Garp's chest again, producing a sound like a morning bell.

The air churned and seemed to be distorted.

This shows just how powerful Rocks' punch was.

Despite Garp's use of Armament Haki for defense, he was still knocked back by Rocks' powerful punch...

Chapter 32 You're not good with a sword, kid!

"It's a pity that my domineering aura isn't quite up to par yet, otherwise this attack would have been enough to injure me."

After a few moments of deflection, Garp regained his balance and grinned at Rocks: "You're still too green, kid!"

He was not injured despite being protected by Armament Haki; he only felt a tightness in his chest and a faint stinging sensation.

Armament Haki, weakened by the opponent's Haki and abilities, could not completely withstand that penetrating punch.

Only someone with such a strong physique could withstand such an attack without getting injured...

"I'm only seventeen, I'm not an adult yet!"

Rocks swung his left arm and sneered, "In a few more years, I can send you flying with a single punch without even needing my Haki!"

My left arm was numb from the backlash of this old guy's Armament Haki.

Not only is it hardening, but it's even getting mobile external output...

If he hadn't been thrown back, Lockes could have seized the opportunity to unleash a combo on the old man!

"You're saying you're only seventeen?!"

Garp was genuinely surprised.

Although Rocks looked young, seventeen years old was indeed somewhat unexpected.

He thought the other person would be at least around twenty...

At seventeen, he was the same age as Ace.

However, this kid is incredibly strong; he could easily beat Ace to a pulp.

Even some of the weaker lieutenant generals at headquarters might not be a match for this kid...

"Hahaha, great! Excellent! The stronger your talent, the happier I am!"

Garp laughed even more excitedly: "If I let go of a promising talent like you, I might regret it for the rest of my life. Come back to Marine Headquarters with me!"

He must take such a promising talent under his wing.

The opponent can definitely inherit all of his moves.

To become another prominent figure in the Navy!

"Forget about it. I will never be subservient to anyone in my life, not even by anyone!"

Rocks snorted coldly.

He raised his hand and fired a series of phantom bullets, which swept across the front like a barrage of bullets...

'Boom boom boom...'

Garp dodged the continuous barrage of phantom bullets.

Those that couldn't be dodged were simply swatted away, creating a series of explosions like firecrackers, posing no threat to Garp...

"Let me show you my swordsmanship!"

With a clang, Rocks drew his sword from his waist, stepped on a spinning top, and charged out, slashing with his blade!

Although it lacks any particular method, it's like wielding a fire poker.

But thanks to Rocks's powerful physique and incredible strength, each sword strike still carried a piercing sound as it cut through the air...

"..."

Garp's eyes flashed red as he deftly dodged Rocks's blade.

Watching these haphazard swings, his lips twitched: "Is this your swordsmanship? Is this what you call being better at using a sword?"

He doesn't know swordsmanship.
