Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

It's possible that Rocks' strength has increased, or perhaps he comprehended something during his extreme outburst.

A glossy black substance covered Lox's fist.

Armament Haki Hardening!!

'boom!!'

When the jet-black fist slammed into Garp's chest, a terrifying booming sound erupted, making people instinctively cover their ears.

The shockwave from the eruption caused the entire Barratier to vibrate continuously.

The ground beneath our feet was already almost completely destroyed, and the remaining floating platform, which served as our foothold, was completely shattered by the aftershocks...

'Snap!'

The sound of bones breaking came from Garp's chest.

Without the protection of Armament Haki, even Garp's powerful physique could not withstand this punch.

The force of the punch penetrated the entire body!

Impact on internal organs!

"cough……"

Suffering such an attack, Garp coughed up blood and was sent flying by Rocks' punch.

His body flew backward like a cannonball, finally crashing heavily onto the distant sea surface and plunging diagonally into the ocean floor...

'boom!!'

In an instant, the surging sea surface was as if a bomb had been dropped, and a large amount of seawater shot into the sky.

It was tens of meters high, and water splashed everywhere.

Garp, however, had vanished without a trace, blasted into the ocean depths...

"Huhuhu..."

Lox was panting heavily.

The fierce attack he just launched had greatly depleted his domineering aura and physical strength.

Every punch that landed on Garp was a full-force burst, with the final punch being an extreme explosion.

Even Lox couldn't withstand such a drain.

very tired!

However, the effect was very good.

Garp was caught off guard and was blasted away, injured and sent flying!

"Old man, let's see if you dare to look down on young people again..."

Lox grinned, quite pleased with his work.

Underestimating young people will lead to regret!

After catching his breath, Rocks didn't hesitate any longer, spurring his foot on the sleigh and chasing after the ship that had already set sail...

Although that old guy Garp is injured, it's impossible for him to be seriously injured.

Top-tier physical strength is incredibly durable.

This kind of injury would have almost no impact on a monster of Garp's caliber.

I need to get out of here now. If Garp recovers, I won't be able to leave...

'Bang bang bang...'

The Sound Turn is a movement technique somewhat similar to the Shave technique, one of the Six Styles of the Navy, and can also be used to fly by stepping on the air, similar to Moonwalk.

This is a method of using sound that Lox figured out.

Even though the illusory form of the Blackwing Demon does not belong to this world, it still appears in this world as a Zoan-type Mythical Beast.

Rocks was a Devil Fruit user, and had weaknesses such as seawater and seastone...

Being able to fly eliminates the possibility of falling into the sea!

'boom!'

On the turbulent sea, a burly figure surged up from the seabed, the powerful momentum sending a massive amount of seawater soaring into the sky...

"Good lad, you actually managed to injure this old man head-on?"

Garp hovered in mid-air using Moonwalk, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

His gaze fell on the fleeing figure, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Pfft, hahaha, what a little monster!"

He's injured!

He was still injured because his Armament Haki was directly defeated!

"He can use all three types of Haki, plus unknown abilities, and physical strength beyond his peers..."

After laughing, Garp composed himself.

He slowly exhaled, his eyes deepening: "Even the legendary Rocks at this age probably wouldn't have possessed this kind of strength..."

He already thought highly of the other person, yet the other person still surprised him greatly.

To possess such exaggerated strength at the age of seventeen.

Just how terrifying is this kid's talent?

Who exactly is standing behind this kid?

Without someone's guidance, it would be absolutely impossible to master the basic application of the three types of Haki at such a young age.

To figure it out on your own?

The possibility is extremely small!

Adding the other person's name to the equation makes it hard not to let one's imagination run wild...

Garp rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on: "With this kind of power and this name, it seems this sea is about to be in turmoil again..."

This was to be expected.

If nothing unexpected happens.

With this kid's talent and strength, he will definitely stir up a storm on this vast ocean and become a powerful figure that no one can ignore...

Chapter 34: Touching the threshold of Armament Haki hardening!

"You interrupted my third punch, but that's your own skill. But next time, I won't hold back..."

Karp muttered to himself, but didn't chase after them.

With his speed, he could easily catch up with that kid.

However, three punches had already passed.

The third punch wasn't left unpunished; it was forcibly interrupted—that's the kid's skill.

Even a dignified Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, an old man known as a "hero," cannot break his word.

Have some shame, you know...

"I just hope you won't become an enemy of the Navy..."

Karp exhaled.

Without thinking much, I descended using Moonwalk...

"Lieutenant General Garp, are you alright?"

Bogart jogged over to Garp and, seeing the slight indentation in Garp's chest, couldn't help but gasp.

He knew Garp's strength perfectly well.

I never expected to get injured...

Garp waved his hand dismissively, saying, "I'm fine. I just underestimated that kid and got hurt because I was careless."

Bogart's voice was no longer as calm as before: "Lieutenant General Garp, just who is that person?"

"Who knows?"

Garp chuckled, then picked his nose in a rather unladylike manner: "It was just one encounter. At most, I know the other party is a little monster. I'm also curious how such a little monster could appear in the East Blue..."

Bogart said, "Should we give chase? If someone with that kind of strength became a pirate..."

"No need. My three punches were blocked by the other party. How can I go back on my word?"

Garp waved his hand and grinned, "Next time we run into him, we'll bring this kid back to Marine Headquarters!"

He'll remember this kid.

Next time, we won't let them leave so easily!

Bogart didn't say anything after hearing that.

Afterwards, under Garp's orders, the Navy began to clean up the mess.

After the brief battle, Baratie was severely damaged, and the blame naturally falls on the Navy...

Meanwhile, the guests in the Barratier were in a state of shock.

"This kind of combat... is humanity truly capable of such destructive power?"

"too frightening!"

"Who is that person? How could they possibly send Vice Admiral Garp flying like that..."

"It seems Vice Admiral Garp is injured?"

Here in the East China Sea.

How could they have ever seen such a fierce battle?

The mere aftershocks of the battle nearly knocked Baratie over...

This has shocked many people's values.
