Chapter 366: Marine Hero Relay Race

A teeth-grinding sound came from the air, originating from the collision of the grandfather and grandson's fists.

Don't look at Luffy's fist as big and intimidating; Garp managed to hold his own with a pair of unremarkable iron fists.

"Hiss~ Is Vice Admiral Garp serious?"

"This is the strength of the previous generation's Marine hero!!!"

In the sky, Garp's eyes were splitting, veins bulging, enduring immense pressure. But even so, Garp still roared loudly: "Luffy, this time, I will not go soft on you, aaaaaaah!!!!"

*Boom*~

Garp stomped on the air, relying on his unparalleled strength, and used Moon Walk to push against Luffy's Bajrang Gun step by step.

Luffy, occupying the high ground, saw his smile stall, then laughed even more happily: "It's getting more and more interesting! Grandpa!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.

Luffy suddenly retracted his fist—no, it shouldn't be called retracting, but rather pulling the gas inside the fist back into his body. Garp was able to quickly approach Luffy, but don't forget.

The gas in Luffy's body just changed position, it didn't disappear. At this moment, Luffy's body was already bloated, but if you looked closely, you would find that Luffy was Move Move Like a pressure cooker, accumulating terrifying energy.

Just when Garp was only a hundred meters away from Luffy, Luffy grinned: "You fell for it!"

Garp's expression changed. In his line of sight, the bloated Luffy suddenly shrank, but his fist became larger and larger. This was... the secondary propulsion Bajrang Gun?

Garp quickly retracted his fist, preparing to run, but it was too late.

*Boom*~

"Pfft~"

Garp was hit by the Bajrang Gun and fell into the island Move Move Like a meteor. The moment he touched the ground, it triggered an explosion comparable to a small nuclear bomb, and Ditrier Island shook.

The onlookers had to take a defensive stance to avoid being caught in the terrifying shockwave.

Garp was really going to suffer this time.

Karl, under the protection of the shield, scratched his head and muttered to himself. Both were "cheaters"; he had worked hard to slack off for nearly ten years to reach this level of strength, and Luffy had almost caught up to him in just two years.

It seemed his cheat was a bit conservative... No, 90% of the cheats in parallel worlds were too conservative. It had to be Oda! If you're going to cheat, cheat hard. Small tricks are useless.

The shockwave raged for nearly three minutes before the situation gradually stabilized.

A pit with a diameter of a hundred meters appeared in the center of the island, and Garp, in rags, was lying in the center of the pit, rolling his eyes. It was hereditary, indeed.

"Vice Admiral Garp!" The dove-faction generals among the Marines were worried. With such a big commotion, Garp wouldn't be beaten to death by his grandson, would he?

Gion walked to Karl's side and pushed him: "Hey, Karl, why are you still standing there? Aren't you afraid something will happen to Vice Admiral Garp?"

Karl laughed: "Don't worry, Sister Gion. Mr. Garp's bones are hard! It's just a non-fatal injury, it doesn't matter. My Holy Light energy is not for show."

And that was indeed the case. After Garp fell into a coma, the Holy Light energy constantly repaired Garp's injuries. Garp was already out of danger. Right now, Garp was probably just sleeping.

"You go and bring Mr. Garp over! He's fine."

After saying that, Karl drew Raven from his waist and sighed: "I thought I could save some trouble, but I didn't expect I'd have to step in after all!"

Zoro had Fujitora, Sanji had Kizaru, Jinbe had Akainu, and Luffy had Garp. Now that Garp was out, Karl had to step in.

Actually, Karl felt that Garp should still be able to fight, but he didn't want to fight anymore. After all, Luffy was his own grandson. Garp couldn't really beat him to death... mainly because he didn't have the ability, you know!

Karl gently brushed the silver-white blade of Raven with his left hand, looked up at the imposing Nika Luffy in the sky, and sighed sincerely: "The world is changing too fast..."

"Next, I will deal with the Straw Hat boy. Leave his crew to you. I hope you won't let me down. In this battle, the Marines must not only win but also achieve an all-around advantage, understand?"

"Yes!"

Everyone present, whether dove or hawk, gave Karl face. Who told Karl to be the supreme commander of this operation? On this battlefield, his words carried more weight than Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan's.

Under the gaze of all the Vice Admirals, a dazzling golden light bloomed on Karl, making people see only a human silhouette. Then, the light began to become illusory, and with a *biu* sound, the human-shaped light cluster turned into a pool of light particles and dissipated with the wind.

In the sky, Karl held Raven in his right hand, looked at Luffy in front of him, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Garp is your grandfather after all! You really are filial, Luffy!"

Luffy didn't understand Karl's subtext at all and laughed carelessly: "It's fine, Grandpa won't blame me. When he beat me up when I was a kid, I didn't blame him!"

"Hahaha~" Karl laughed dumbly.

"Uncle Karl, I will defeat you! I want to avenge Shanks!" Luffy's gaze was very firm. He knew Karl was very strong, because Shanks was personally sent to Impel Down by Karl.

However, after the battle with Kaido and the awakening of his fruit ability, Luffy felt that he had the capital to wrestle with Karl. At least he wouldn't be Move Move Like before, with no power to resist.

"Defeat me? That depends on your ability. But even if you defeat me, so what? Your partners, except for Zoro, Sanji, and Jinbe, have all been captured by the Marines."

"If nothing goes wrong, Zoro and Sanji will also fall soon. Even if you defeat me, how much strength will you have left to deal with the three Marine Admirals and a dozen Vice Admirals?"

It had to be said that Karl was telling the truth, and Luffy clearly realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Uncle Karl, even if failure is destined, I will never give up. Let's have a man-to-man duel! Uncle Karl!"

"If I win, you let us go! How about that?"

Luffy still had a little bit of cunning, knowing that Karl was easy to talk to. This way, as long as he could win, he could take his partners and escape a disaster. He still believed in Karl's character.

"Then, what if you lose?"

Luffy's smile stiffened. Clearly, he hadn't thought about what would happen if he lost.

Seeing this, Karl smiled and said: "If you lose, you must obey all the Marines' arrangements. How about that?"

Luffy was stunned. Obey all the Marines' arrangements? Was this... still the life he wanted?

However, at this moment, he didn't seem to have a better choice.
