Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

boom!!!

The dazzling black and red slashing waves collided with the shockwave, unleashing a deafening roar.

The entire sky seemed to lose its color at this moment, and the world fell silent.

The void trembled continuously, and black and red lightning raged around, emanating a terrifying aura.

However, the stalemate did not last long. Just one second later, the black and red slashing waves collapsed.

The incredibly powerful shockwave continued to blast towards the ship with unparalleled force.

!!!

Boom!!

The Red-Haired Pirates' ship was instantly blasted apart, turning into countless wood chips that fell from the sky.

The members of the Red-Haired Pirates also fell from mid-air to the sea.

Almost everyone had blood trickling from the corner of their mouths, and the red-haired man stared at the black dot in the sky with an extremely grim expression.

He's still not strong enough!!

Back when he was still with Roger's crew, such experiences were not uncommon, but Roger always managed to block Garp's attacks, and there was never a situation where the ship was blown to pieces.

Judging from the current situation, he is still quite a distance from being the former Captain Roger.

Sizzle!

Suddenly, thunder roared, and an incredibly thick, gigantic purple bolt of lightning slashed down from the sky, its target being the red-haired man and his companions.

Bang bang bang!

Several gunshots rang out, and Ben Beckman pulled the trigger in succession, firing three bullets in a straight line from the chamber.

All three bullets were coated with powerful Armament Haki, which merged to form a black energy wave that collided with the incoming giant lightning bolt.

Boom!!

A loud bang echoed in the sky, and a visible ring of shockwave spread outwards, like ripples spreading across the surface of water.

The two remained locked in a stalemate in the air until they both vanished without a trace. However, before they could even catch their breath, a series of thunderous booms echoed from the sky.

At the same time, a sense of oppression poured down from the sky, causing the expressions of everyone in mid-air to change slightly, and they subconsciously looked up.

What came into view was a dazzling purple lightning, which, from a distance, resembled a purple sun.

"What...what is that?!"

Yasopp swallowed hard and instinctively spoke.

Before anyone else could answer him, the purple 'sun' suddenly erupted.

The next moment, countless purple lightning bolts surged out from it, forming a giant purple lightning pillar that rushed towards the crowd with the momentum of destruction.

!!!

Everyone's eyes widened suddenly; they sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from the pillar of lightning.

To everyone's horror, the lightning bolt arrived in an instant, engulfing them completely.

The massive bolt of lightning continued its relentless advance, striking the sea surface like a laser beam and instantly creating a huge crater.

The raging purple lightning pushed aside the surrounding seawater, forming one giant wave after another.

After a while, the purple lightning pillar slowly dissipated, and the seawater flowed back and surged, forming a huge whirlpool in the original empty space, like an abyss constantly swallowing the surrounding seawater.

Occasionally, purple lightning would surge across the sea, emanating a chilling aura.

High above, Garp stared wide-eyed at the sky below in disbelief.

The next second, a purple lightning bolt flashed beside him, revealing Kyle's appearance.

Karp turned his head sharply, staring intently at Kyle.

"When did you become so strong?"

"You were hiding your strength when you were in Marineford?"

Even now, a faint aura of destruction still lingers in the surroundings.

Garp was certain that when he fought Kael in Marineford, Kael was definitely not as strong as he is now; in fact, he was far weaker!

The two are practically not even in the same league.

At that time, Kyle's attack had already caused him a very minor injury.

But he also said that it was extremely small, the kind that would be fine in two minutes, and that he hadn't used Armament Haki at the time.

Even now, using Armament Haki, he wouldn't dare to directly withstand Kyle's purple lightning.

The violent and destructive aura made him somewhat wary.

But... why is this kid so strong?

Karp's gaze swept over Kyle, looking him up and down, completely baffled.

Given Kyle's current performance, even some lieutenant generals are no match for him.

Is this reasonable?

Although he is still quite a distance from being a general, or even from reaching his level, it is still quite surprising.

The difference in combat strength between a lieutenant general and a general is enormous.

Ordinary branch lieutenant generals are incredibly weak; just look at the lieutenant general who was brutally beaten by Bartolomeo in Dressrosa in the original story.

A top-tier lieutenant general is many levels stronger than an ordinary lieutenant general, and the gap between a top-tier lieutenant general and a general is also significant.

So don't be fooled by the fact that there may only be one rank difference between a lieutenant general and a general; the difference in their abilities can be enormous.

Regardless of whether Kyle had been hiding his strength in Marineford, it's undeniable that he now possesses this exaggerated power.

Garp circled Kyle repeatedly, using Moonwalk, his right hand touching his chin, a look of confusion in his eyes, muttering to himself:

"Why? Why is a six-year-old so strong?"

"This is unreasonable, utterly unreasonable!!"

……

"Stop spinning me, old man, I'm going to get dizzy!"

Kyle glanced at Garp indifferently, without offering any explanation of his strength.

Explain what? How should it be explained?

Is this an explanation that he's using cheats? That's why his combat power is above average?

Stop kidding me!

Looking down at the still-unsettled sea, Kyle asked Karp:

"Old man! Go down there and bring those Red-Haired Pirates up!"

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Karp stared blankly at Kyle, pointed at himself, and asked with wide eyes:

"You want me to go down and fish them out?!"

Kyle gave him a dismissive glance.

"It's not you, it's me! I'm a Devil Fruit user, can I go rescue her?"

"As for the rest of the crew on the warship, none of the Red-Haired Pirates have eaten Devil Fruits, so they still possess considerable fighting power at sea!"

"Their attempt to rescue the redhead is like an old man eating poison!"

"Therefore, this glorious yet arduous task can only fall to the renowned Lieutenant General Garp!"

Garp: ...

What you said makes so much sense, I don't even know how to refute it!

But something just feels off.

In the end, Garp said nothing more and fell straight down from the sky, free-falling at an increasingly faster speed until he finally plunged into the sea.

The powerful impact caused the sea surface to erupt with waves tens of meters high once again.

Kyle floated in the air and nodded slightly as he watched this scene.

Great, here's a Senior Citizen Award for you!

Although Kyle is not actually restrained by the sea, this characteristic cannot be shown until he has fully grown his wings.

Otherwise, he was certain the world government would be very interested in him!

Currently, he does not have the strength to challenge the World Government, so there are some things that are not yet suitable to be revealed.
