"Let's go take a look." Sengoku said, taking a step forward and rushing after Sengoku's silhouette. For "Tactician" Sengoku to be so flustered, something monumental must have happened within Marine Headquarters.
Remembering Garp's furious roar from earlier, Sengoku, Hina, and Smoker had a strong suspicion of what it was.
At this moment, Tsuru turned to one of the Vice Admirals and said, "Go contact the Three Admirals. Ask them where they are and tell them to hurry back." With that, Tsuru ignored the Vice Admiral and flashed out like a shadow.
Sengoku, Hina, and Smoker left one after another, leaving behind a group of bewildered Marine Admirals and World Government officials.
"Do as Garp said, and have the surrounding Marines disperse. Don't get close to that building," Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed, pointing at a tall building not far away. "Understood."
The Admirals below reacted upon hearing this and followed Vice Admiral Tsuru's orders. Among the many Admirals, Dragon's eyes flickered as he looked at the distant building.
"Ye Chen, die." Garp, furious as thunder, his face black as a cast-iron pot, his gaze radiating undisguised killing intent. As he spoke, Garp fiercely stomped on the ground. The ground cracked, leaving a footprint, and Garp instantly vanished from his spot.
Before Ye Chen could react, Garp instantly appeared before Ye Chen, his fist, the size of a sand pot, wrapped in extremely condensed Armament Haki, striking out with a punch. The fist,
radiating a dark iron luster, was filled with an extremely dangerous aura. Ye Chen revealed a trace of surprise, his pupils instantly constricting. Almost instinctively, his katana was drawn and parried in front of him.
"Clang, clang, clang." Fist and katana clashed, instantly sending out sparks.
"This power..." Ye Chen's heart trembled. He could feel an extremely heavy force coming from the katana, almost irresistible.
"Bang." Fist and katana clashed. Ye Chen's body was instantly sent flying backward, like a cannonball, smashing through four or five meters of wall before finally stopping. "Tashigi, get out of here first. If the battle starts, I won't be able to look after you." Garp said grimly to Tashigi.
Tashigi was Vice Admiral Hina's younger sister. If she died here, he would be unable to face Vice Admiral Hina. It was for this reason that he punched Ye Chen away, just to buy Tashigi some time to retreat.
"Yes... yes." Tashigi, at this moment, didn't know what to say, like a startled rabbit. Her comrade was killed in front of her. Garp suddenly appeared, sending Ye Chen flying with a punch.
A series of events happened in just a few seconds. If it were anyone else, their minds would already be blank, at a loss. But she could still tell that Garp was pretty strong.
Tashigi suppressed the pain throughout her body, her steps faltering. She leaned against the wall and slowly walked out of Garp's sight. Seeing that Tashigi had left, Garp secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dragon Slaying Slash." A cold voice suddenly rang out. Immediately after, a dazzling white light erupted in the distance. A white light condensed into a vague dragon shape, like a soaring dragon, bursting forth in a flash of lightning.
"Iron Lump." Seeing the light flash, Garp dared not be negligent and lowly growled. As he spoke, Garp's muscles bulged, covered in Armament Haki. His entire body, black as iron, was like a suit of armor.
"Roar, roar, roar." The two clashed, letting out an astonishing roar. The ground immediately couldn't bear it and cracked. Startling cracks, like spider webs, spread out at a visible speed. A huge wave of oppressive force dispersed with the two as its center, like a strong wind sweeping around.
"As expected of a Marine hero, he actually blocked it." Ye Chen laughed loudly, his body covered in killing intent. Instantly, sword energy surged like a dragon, erupting forth.
"Hmph, you're still too soft, Ye Chen." Garp snorted coldly, his sand-pot-sized fist, black as iron, struck out, like a cannonball attack.
"Roar, roar, roar." Instantly, an astonishing roar echoed. Cracks continuously burst forth, like a spider web, returning to the center.
"Roar." Finally, the building couldn't withstand the battle between the two and collapsed. The ceiling fell, stones flew, and dust billowed.
"Come on, Garp, let's fight outside..." Ye Chen laughed loudly, his voice filled with endless fighting spirit. As he spoke, the Dragon Slaying Slash was unleashed, enveloping him in dragon-shaped sword energy, and he rushed out.
"Hmph, trying to escape." Garp snorted coldly, fiercely stomping on the ground, rushing out like a cannonball, closely following Ye Chen. He was afraid Ye Chen would escape.
"Don't worry, old man Garp, I won't leave." Ye Chen's voice rang out, and Garp's face immediately darkened again.
Judging from his exchanges with Ye Chen, he simply couldn't suppress Ye Chen. They were basically evenly matched. In just a few months, Ye Chen's strength had grown again.
"A terrifying young man." Garp thought with a shiver in his heart.
Ye Chen stood on the ground, looking around, and found that he was in a huge empty space, surrounded by walls. It looked like an arena. Just as Ye Chen surveyed his surroundings, a figure rushed out not far away.
"Oh." Garp landed on the ground, creating a crater of medium size. Seeing Garp arrive, Ye Chen held his katana in both hands, a slight smile on his face: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Garp."
"Ye Chen, I won't pursue whatever you did before. Even if you killed the Celestial Dragons, I can still let it go." Garp stared fixedly at Ye Chen with cold eyes. "But you massacred the Marine Headquarters' Fourth Division. This, you absolutely cannot ignore. You must die today."
"Hahaha." Ye Chen laughed several times. Garp's face almost twisted into a knot upon hearing this. Ye Chen's smile gradually faded, and his gaze turned cold as he looked at Garp.
"Those scoundrels thought they could be fearless in Marine Headquarters, daring to mock me with their sarcasm. Did they really think I wouldn't kill them?"
"Killing them is nothing more than making them understand things clearly, so they won't be so arrogant in the future."
"Just two words, and you already made a move. Ye Chen, you're too reckless." A voice suddenly rang out. A figure broke through the air and landed beside Garp, looking at Ye Chen coldly. "Sengoku." Ye Chen thought to himself, seeing the figure in front of him.
