"This is really a coincidence! It's rare to come home, and I didn't expect to encounter a series of surprises!"
Garp's aggressive gaze locked onto Roland, his fighting spirit gradually rising.
"Wait, Garp!"
"Mr. Garp, please wait!"
"Roland and everyone in the village are friends!"
"Please don't…"
Village Chief Slap and a group of villagers anxiously stepped forward, wanting to stop him.
However, this time, they hadn't even gotten close to Garp before they were blocked by an invisible aura.
"Taking down Shichibukai, severely injuring that kid Kizaru, sinking Enies Lobby, you little brat sure do big things!"
Garp looked at Roland and grinned.
"Speaking of which, I'm very curious, those few incidents in Holy Land Mary Geoise, couldn't have been done by you too, right?!"
"What? Do you want to stand up for the Government?"
Roland narrowed his eyes and smiled, noncommittally.
"I guess so, even if you're a Navy Hero, at the end of the day, you're still the Government's dog!"
"Puhahahaha, what an arrogant kid! But don't misunderstand, I don't want to stand up for anyone, I'm just simply interested in you!"
Garp laughed heartily, not caring at all.
"Although Sengoku told me not to look for you, this is a chance encounter! If it's by chance, then there's nothing that can be done, right?!"
The powerful fighting spirit materialized, soaring into the sky, causing the clouds within several kilometers to dissipate.
"Wait, Vice Admiral Garp!"
"If you want to fight, I'll accompany you!"
Two figures, one male and one female, rushed over from the sea and landed beside Garp and Roland respectively.
"Mr. Garp, please don't be impulsive. The Navy has a regulation that without permission from above, you cannot attack an Emperor; it will cause a war!"
G3 Branch Vice Officer Bogado solemnly warned.
"Huh? Is there such a regulation? How come I don't know about it?"
Garp scratched his head.
"How many years have you been in the Navy?!"
Requesting fresh flowers.
Bogado rubbed his forehead helplessly.
"Puhahahaha, well, never mind! The rule here with me is that there are no rules!"
Garp laughed boisterously.
"Roland, this old man is stronger than anyone we've encountered so far. Do you want me to do it?"
Thor asked.
"No need! I'm enough! Thor, you are my last trump card, you can't be revealed too early!"
Roland patted Thor's little head and smiled gently.
"Wow, Captain, are we going to fight… By the way, isn't that person a Navy legend?"
Nami materialized and landed in Windmill Village, and upon recognizing Garp's identity, she couldn't help but be startled.
"Why is Vice Admiral Garp here?"
Vivi widened her beautiful eyes.
She had seen Garp at the World Council two years ago.
"It really is that legendary Navy Hero!"
On the deck, Robin's expression was solemn.
"Navy Hero? Is he very powerful?"
Kuina and Bonney asked, puzzled.
"Of course he's powerful! Garp is a true Navy legend, an existence who has pushed the Pirate King to the brink several times… Although he's a Vice Admiral, his strength is even above that of an Admiral…"
Kalifa's face changed dramatically.
"Tch, so what if he's a Navy Hero? He definitely won't be the Master's opponent!"
Ulti said disdainfully.
"Exactly~ Exactly~"
Perona agreed.
"Vice Admiral Garp!!!"
The Marines on the dog-headed warship, which docked simultaneously with the "Never Empty Army", all stood ready for battle.
"Puhahahaha, don't be nervous, I don't mean to start a war, it's just…"
Garp's smile gradually widened.
"I just want to see how strong this year's New Emperor really is!"
Such a provocation… Isn't this wanting to start a war?!!!
The Marines couldn't help but complain inwardly.
"Puhahahaha, how about it? Since you're an Emperor, you shouldn't be afraid to spar with an old man like me, right?!"
Garp continued to provoke.
"Hmm, if I knock you down later, you old man shouldn't try to extort compensation by faking an injury, right?!"
Roland said with a smile.
"Puhahahaha, you dare to say that!"
Garp's aura surged around him.
With a few words, the duel was set.
Everyone knew that this battle between Five Emperors Roland and Hero Garp was unavoidable.
"Everyone, retreat!!!"
At Bogado's command, the Marines led the villagers to retreat together.
As for Dadan's bandit family, they had long since scurried hundreds of meters away.
"Village Chief?"
A villager anxiously looked at Village Chief Slap.
"Forget it, let them make a ruckus. Nothing bad should happen, right?"
Village Chief Slap shook his head. He couldn't control the affairs of important figures, nor did he know how to.
"Miss Makino, let's also retreat a bit, shall we?"
Miss Tohru chuckled.
"Miss Tohru, but..."
"It's fine, Miss Makino, don't worry!"
Miss Tohru nodded, pulling Makino back.
"Luffy, Koala, let's also move a bit further away!"
Sabo's eyes gleamed.
To be able to witness a confrontation between the strongest at the pinnacle of the Sea Emperor's pyramid up close was truly a great fortune in life.
Not to mention, the two parties facing off were the Navy's legend and the traveler they had recently been pursuing.
"Go, Roland, don't hold back for my sake, give Grandpa a good beating!"
The Luffy yelled loudly as he retreated.
"Pfft."
Mr. Garp stumbled, almost spitting out old blood.
"Luffy, you brat, just you wait, I'll deal with you later!"
"Heh heh heh, Mr. Garp, since your grandson requested it, I can only reluctantly give you a beating!"
Roland smiled, provocatively waving at Mr. Garp.
"Arrogant brat!"
Boom!
The island's ground violently trembled.
That was the Navy's legendary Hero making his move.
Facing Roland, who had defeated an Admiral and held the title of Five Emperors, Mr. Garp naturally wouldn't be careless in the slightest.
He started with a powerful move!!!
Blue Hole!!!
...How many...?
