Starting with two Kamui, they raised the flag of rebellion in One Piece.

Chapter 115 A Guy Even More Amazing Than the Rumors

Li Mingyuan sincerely hoped for this.

Once Garp gets carried away, he doesn't know what it means to hold back. But if it were up to Garp's strength, even the aftershocks would be enough to capsize the entire port, and his secondhand ship would sink into the sea in no time.

He took this into consideration, which is why he brought Nami and Karina out to take refuge in advance.

But at this point, there was nothing he could do except pray.

Li Mingyuan withdrew his gaze and looked again at the trembling pirate beside him.

On the coast.

"What?! Isn't that brat on this island?!"

Garp, who had sunk several pirate ships, muttered with disappointment.

He deliberately flew to the island before the marines to prevent Ace from escaping ahead of him, but after he sank and inspected all the pirate ships, he found that there was no trace of the Ace Pirates among them.

Doesn't that mean he made another wasted trip?

"This is a real headache. We still haven't found him. Could it be that Ace didn't head to the Grand Line?"

"This is the island we're most likely to pass through. If we can't find anyone here, then we're completely clueless."

""

Garp stroked his chin, puzzled. "Could it be that that brat Ace thought of this beforehand and deliberately avoided me?"

'

I couldn't understand why I didn't see Ace on this island.

Logically speaking, if Ace were sailing on the Grand Line, this should be an island he would pass through during this period.

However, Garp was unaware that his encounter with Li Mingyuan had not only caused Ace's plans to deviate, but Ace had never intended to head to the Grand Line immediately. Therefore, the island he had arrived on based on the time he had calculated was unlikely to contain anyone other than Li Mingyuan, who was indeed on his way to the Grand Line.

Rather, it would be a miracle if you actually encountered it.

As he pondered, Garp sat on a rock in the harbor, facing the warships that were still approaching the port.

Needless to say.

Pirates from the East Blue are no match for naval heroes.

After just a few simple punches, everything settled down amidst the explosions, and even the corpses were reduced to ashes on the spot. Now, Garp was in a state of rest after resolving the problem, sitting by the port waiting for the Marines to clean up the mess.

From a certain perspective, Li Mingyuan's earlier prediction was actually correct.

Because at that very moment, near the port, which had almost become a crater, a large number of ship wrecks were floating on the edge of the island.

Although the vast majority of them were pirate ships, there were occasionally some ordinary ships that were also implicated.

Unfortunately, Li Mingyuan's secondhand ship, which was very close to Alvida's pirate ship, was one of the ships that failed to escape the aftershocks. Now, most of the hull is damaged, and the ship is constantly rocking under the impact of the waves.

In a corner on the edge of the harbor.

The female captain of the revolutionary army observed secretly, her face full of amazement.

"A legendary naval hero. I've heard rumors about him, but I never imagined he could reach this level."

She couldn't help but praise it.

Just now, she witnessed the entire battle between Garp and the pirates.

No, it couldn't even be called a battle; it was a one-sided, overwhelming defeat.

Even though she felt she had seen a lot of the world, she had never seen such a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and herself. When the pirates faced Garp flying through the air, they could not find an effective means of attack except to raise their guns and fire in despair. The bullets could not hit them, and even if they did, they could not damage the body hardened by Armament Haki.

Conversely, Garp's punch can easily sink a pirate ship!

Even just imagining herself in that situation made her heart pound. Faced with such power, even if she were added to the mix, it probably wouldn't change anything.

Is it fair to say that he is worthy of being "that" father?

"Well, since we've already seen so much, this trip wasn't a complete waste."

"To avoid being detected, it's best to retreat first."

Bello Betty took a few steps back, her figure, concealed by her cloak, blending even further into the darkness of the street corner.

Encountering Garp on this trip was also an accident for her. She had no plan to contact Garp, so whether out of instinctive fear or rational thinking, it was wise to leave in time.

Just as Li Mingyuan had realized.

As the commander of the Revolutionary Army's Eastern Army, Belo Betty frequently operates in the East Blue. It's only natural that she's on this island now. It's not that she has any plans for this island, but mainly because this island serves as a black market and exchange hub. The Revolutionary Army also needs to purchase necessary supplies in secret, and this place outside the World Government's jurisdiction is undoubtedly the most suitable place to conduct transactions.

Her original intention in coming to the island was simply to purchase firearms, ammunition, and various weapons to supplement the armed forces of other revolutionary people. However, she hadn't even bought what she needed when she unexpectedly witnessed this scene.

He turned around.

Betty quietly left the port and headed towards the town.

It is worth noting that a small figure was following her under her large cloak.

It was the little girl she had saved earlier.

"Speaking of which, we should also send you back to find your family."

Betty looked at the little girl beside her and chuckled, "Well done. During that intense battle, you made sure to stay close to me, neither becoming a burden nor failing to protect yourself."

"From this perspective, you really took my words to heart, so it wasn't like I said all that for nothing."

Hearing Betty's voice, the little girl smiled shyly, and her little hand holding Betty's clothes swayed gently.

Although not as terrifying as Garp's battle scenes, Betty's fighting style was still very wild as a Devil Fruit user and Haki user. The surrounding battlefield looked as if it had been bombarded with explosives, with explosions occurring from time to time.

However, for some reason, even though it was a terrifying scene, she always managed to muster the courage to stay by Betty's side, without panicking or screaming, while also being careful not to become a target for the enemy.

If her parents saw her doing this, they would probably praise her for doing a great job, right?

With this thought in mind, the little girl's steps became lighter and lighter, and with a happy heart, she walked with Betty into the town on the other side of the harbor, looking forward to the scene of meeting her relatives.

only.

Betty had only walked to the vicinity of the street a few seconds ago.

"Um?"

Betty suddenly frowned, and twitched her nose curiously. "This smell is—"

She hadn't noticed the smoke and fire at the port until now, when she actually arrived in the town and was suddenly shocked.

Isn't the smell of blood in the town a bit too strong?

Suddenly, Betty's steps became heavier, and her gaze became serious.

Normally, even if those fleeing pirates were hysterically trying to unleash their malice, how much time would they have to commit evil, given the imminent arrival of Garp and the Navy? And how much bloodshed could they actually cause?

Aside from those who have completely given up on themselves and want to have some fun before they die, Betty estimates that most pirates will at most cause some chaos at first, and then they will have already escaped to the more central part of the island. Even if they commit some crimes and suffer casualties, it will not be too terrible.

Theoretically speaking, that is indeed the case.

But then, what about the smell she's currently catching?

Behind Betty, the little girl also clutched the edge of her cloak anxiously, clearly sensing something as well.

"Hold on tight. If anything happens next, remember to run to the old man at the dock as soon as possible. Although we have different stances, that old man is also a partner of the people."

"You'll be safe once you get to him."

Betty said in a deep voice.

"Okay! I understand, big sister!"

Encouraged by Betty's words, the little girl nodded emphatically.

Betty breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing this, she no longer hesitated.

He led the little girl straight out of the dark alley and into the street.

In just a moment.

When Betty saw what the street looked like, she was shocked and instinctively covered the eyes of the little girl behind her.

"Big sister—?"

"I'm fine."

Betty said seriously, "But this scenario is still too early for you."

How should I describe the scene I'm seeing?

Even though Betty had witnessed countless atrocities committed by pirates, nobles, and villains, she still had to admit that none of them were as shocking as this moment.

At a glance, the entire street was stained red with blood, and there were all kinds of corpses that had been dismembered.

Until the end of this blood-red road.

As you can see, the man's back is standing there.

"I recognize that face. He's the most famous bounty hunter in the East China Sea lately. I think his name is Li Mingyuan."

Betty took several deep breaths to calm herself down and then focused her attention on the man.

Staring at Li Mingyuan's profile, Betty finally remembered his background after a moment.

It wasn't seen through newspapers, but rather long before that; information relayed from within the Revolutionary Army, along with the exposure of the Fishman Empire, spread throughout the world, ultimately leading to its destruction.

Although I had heard rumors that he was extremely ruthless and showed no mercy to pirates, seeing him in person now, he is even more outrageous than the rumors suggest. I never expected that he would appear on this island at this time.

"Since they're pirate hunters, does that mean we're currently conducting a pirate hunt?"

"And that mountain of flesh that guy is carrying, if I remember correctly, he should also be a pirate with some fame in the East Blue — although under normal circumstances, beating up a guy of this level wouldn't have much of an impact, but based on what this guy is doing now, the horrific scene itself will probably make the news."

Betty slowly took a cigarette out of her pocket, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled slowly.

The scene on this street is truly terrifying.

If she were a journalist, she certainly wouldn't have missed the horrific scene left behind by Garp's visit to the island.

Back when she first heard the rumors, Ashiru had considered having her make contact with this guy to see if she could recruit him into the team. However, it now seems that this kind of person is not suitable for the Revolutionary Army.

Let alone pirates, his actions could create panic even within the community, instilling fear in the people.

This is detrimental to both domestic and international image dissemination.

Just as Betty was observing Li Mingyuan, at the end of the street, Li Mingyuan also seemed to sense something and looked behind him.

Until the moment they discovered Bello Betty, draped in a cloak.

"They arrived quite quickly."

Li Mingyuan had one hand in his pocket, his expression indifferent.

Unexpectedly, this female captain of the revolutionary army arrived here so quickly, and now she has met him face to face.

Although Li Mingyuan believed from the beginning that the Revolutionary Army was an organization created by Garp's son, if Garp took the initiative to stop this mission, it would be reasonable for him to cause some trouble, just like when he met Luffy in Water 7, but he would not necessarily kill him.

But the other person doesn't even have a scratch on their body.

Surely it's not that Garp didn't even notice where she was, so nothing happened at all?

"Nami, Karina, do you still have the energy?"

"I do feel like this place is still a bit unsafe. Let's go inside and hide for a bit longer."

Glancing sideways at the two duo hiding in the corner beside him, Li Mingyuan said, "While you're at it, help me recall if you saw any wanted criminals on the street before. I'll go look for them again later."

"It's a rare opportunity; it would be a shame not to make some money from it."

In a commanding tone, Li Mingyuan half-forcefully compelled Karina and Nami to get them moving.

Upon hearing Li Mingyuan's words, the two who were resting immediately turned to look at him.

"Should we still retreat? Now!?"

Upon hearing Li Mingyuan's words, Nami and Karina both looked distressed. Nami couldn't help but reply, "Although what happened at the port was quite scary, I think it should be pretty safe here."

"I'm exhausted. Carrying all these bags and packages, I'm completely drained of energy after running all this way."

Karina then lay down on the spot and mumbled, "Besides, you've almost killed all the pirates around here. If we hide somewhere else, wouldn't we be more likely to run into pirates? It's better to wait here for the chaos to pass."

Almost in unison, Karina and Nami declined Li Mingyuan's proposal.

A very simple result.

Even disregarding the fact that neither of them subconsciously believed that they could be accidentally injured by the Navy after escaping to such a place, Nami and Karina had also expended considerable energy running all the way here with their oversized luggage when Li Mingyuan was indiscriminately killing pirates.

Ultimately, Nami and Karina are both just normal individuals in the One Piece world.

In this situation, having finally caught their breath, neither Nami nor Karina had the strength to continue moving and just wanted to rest.
