Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

But he can understand swordsmanship.

What kind of swordsmanship is this?

There is no structure or method, no technique or skill.

All he had was brute force and reflexes; he wielded his sword purely with monstrous individual skill...

This person actually claimed to be skilled in swordsmanship?

Even the swordsmanship of any random Marine in the Marine Headquarters isn't this bad!

"My swordsmanship doesn't follow the path of flashy moves, but rather the path of practicality. The true essence of swordsmanship is to simplify the complex!"

Rocks grabbed his sword and swung it down with a heavy blow.

This sword strike was sharp and deadly, carrying immense pressure; it even seemed to shatter the air itself!

Garp slapped away the falling blade with a "smack," and said with a dark expression, "Simplifying complexity is true, and that's exactly what my fist does."

"But your swordsmanship is nothing like that at all; you're just swinging it around randomly. You're not good with a sword!"

"Don't give me that nonsense! My abilities destined me to be a powerful swordsman in the future. I can already unleash flying slashes!!"

Rocks scoffed disdainfully and swung his sword down again.

How could someone who isn't even a swordsman comment on the swordsmanship of someone who has already reached the realm of "cutting iron and flying slashes"?

This old guy must be desperate to take him as a disciple, right?

They've all started incoherently belittling his swordsmanship talent?

How ridiculous!

*Sizzle!*

With superhuman strength and brute force, Garp swung his sword. Although he dodged the sword by turning to the side, a flying slash still broke through the air.

Cut through the floating platform, slice through the sea and slash towards the distance...

"To unleash a slash with superhuman strength and brute force is not the way of the sword at all."

Garp didn't attack, he just kept shaking his head: "It's more like the Tempest Kick, one of the Six Powers of the Navy!"

'Shuh! '

To prove his words were true, Garp raised his right leg and swung it out, unleashing a wind blade that sliced ​​through the sea like a flying slash...

"Can this wind blade compare to my Flying Slash? Don't make me laugh!"

Seeing this, Rocks sneered even more: "Let me show you my true swordsmanship!!"

Lox raised his sword high above his head, took a deep breath, his eyes sharpened, and a sharp, murderous aura emanated from him!

"Extreme Slash!!"

Accompanied by Lox's low growl,

The raised sword blade slashed down, a sword strike that seemed to pierce the air like a fluorescent light falling from the blade.

This was Rocks' ultimate strike.

A slash even sharper than the Tempest Kick struck Garp at incredible speed!

"..."

Garp frowned.

Brute force and superhuman strength can be used to unleash slashes; the old woman in the New World known as the "Iron Balloon" uses this method.

With great strength, bricks fly; with one force, ten techniques are defeated!

The swordsman lacks the sharpness and killing power of a swordsman; all he possesses is pure destructive force.

This kid also relies on his immense strength to send bricks flying and his brute force to overcome any skill, but beneath his pure destructive power lies the sharp and deadly edge unique to a swordsman.

What a strange feeling, what a strange kendo...

However, Garp is not the type of person who dwells on things.

I'm too lazy to think about it!

Garp did not choose to punch to shatter the slash, but instead dodged.

He only has one last punch left!

Monkey D. Garp, a dignified naval hero, never goes back on his word; if he says he'll deliver three punches, he means it!

"You may have a tiny bit of talent in swordsmanship, but compared to your talent in physical combat, it's nothing!"

Garp dodged Rocks's slash and raised his right arm.

A thick layer of Armament Haki covered his fist, drawing out purple-black lightning...

This is the ultimate external manifestation of Armament Haki!

Staring at Rocks, Garp grinned arrogantly: "I believe that fists can shatter everything. Let me show you my fists, kid!!"

"This is the third punch, try and take it!"

"Catch you my foot! This level of domineering... are you trying to kill me?"

Rocks felt a chill run down his spine upon sensing the Armament Haki.

If you were hit by a punch with that kind of overwhelming power...

Unless I master the virtual "super-speed regeneration", I'll definitely be turned into minced meat...

of course.

Garp will probably back down at the last moment, but even he's definitely not someone Rocks can stop right now...

We can't let that old guy Garp throw this punch.

So Rocks moved and charged toward Garp.

We must stop them from throwing that punch!

Chapter 33 Underestimating young people will lead to trouble!

"Pfft haha!"

Staring at the charging Rocks, Garp grinned and laughed heartily: "Don't worry, I'll hold back. I'll just knock you out..."

'boom!!'

Before Garp could finish speaking, Rocks, who was not far away, narrowed his eyes.

The Conqueror's Haki within him surged forth.

The weight pressed down on Garp, impacting his mind and spirit.

For a powerful figure like Garp, this level of Conqueror's Haki would obviously be ineffective.

However, Garp did not regard Rocks as a mortal enemy, so he was not that wary of him.

Even someone as strong as Garp would be momentarily stunned by such a sudden attack...

And that was the moment when Rocks made his move!

Garp snapped out of his daze, his face filled with deep surprise: "Conqueror's Haki!?"

He even possesses Conqueror's Haki?

Garp instinctively tried to retaliate... but it was too late!

All of this was within Rocks's expectations, and he wouldn't give Garp any chance to retaliate.

To escape from Garp's clutches, one needs to deliver a decisive blow, preventing him from continuing his pursuit...

'Om! '

In that instant, Lox mobilized the energy stored within his body for any eventuality.

This energy is different from physical strength; it's more like life force.

It can not only enhance Rocks's regenerative abilities, but also allow Rocks's physique to break through its limits in a short period of time.

To achieve a forced power boost similar to a sudden burst of power!

The power within him surged, flowing through his body like a torrent, which boosted Rocks's aura and enhanced his strength!

"Fly out of here!"

Lox gave a low shout.

The two fists, imbued with Armament Haki and Hollow Bullet energy, were unleashed using a special technique.

It wasn't just one or two punches, but a barrage of attacks as dense as rain!

'Bang! Bang bang bang...'

Rocks' fists rained down on Garp, producing a series of resounding blows.

Each punch sent ripples through the air!

Under Rocks's relentless onslaught, Garp was unable to mount a counterattack and had no choice but to take the hit!

'Bang bang bang...'

Garp's heavy Armament Haki, which he had mobilized for defense, was gradually worn down under Rocks's fierce attacks.

Until it was completely destroyed...

This wasn't all of Garp's Armament Haki, just the Armament Haki that was activated for that one instant.

The use of domineering aura also requires time; even a very short time can be used to exploit that momentary weakness!

"I've already told you, don't underestimate young people!"

Rocks burst into laughter.

With his right arm muscles bulging, the strongest and most powerful final punch landed on Garp's chest.

Why is it always the chest area?

As anyone who has ever boxed knows, a straight punch is easier to generate power than an uppercut or a backflip!
