Chapter 1330: Garp

In the slightly cold seawater, Su Xiao bit down on his scuba regulator and sank toward the seabed at a slow speed.

The long blade in his hand slashed through the seawater, and blade auras flew out. After Checking Zhan Long Shan was promoted to legendary grade, the cutting power of the blade auras had increased by at least several times. This showed just how important a sharp weapon was to Su Xiao.

*Zing. *

A pale blue blade aura slashed through the seawater and plunged directly into the warship above.

The warship was slowly sinking. After the blade aura slashed in from below, it flew out from the deck in a short while, severing several ropes and also severing a fair arm.

*Creak~*

The sound of wooden planks rubbing became increasingly harsh. On the bumpy deck, a female marine suddenly felt a chill in her arm. She subconsciously raised her arm, and warm, fresh blood splashed onto her face, but it wasn't her blood.

"Jo, Jolie?"

Hearing her companion's shout, the marine whose arm had been severed turned her head subconsciously. She knew her arm was broken, but she didn't feel pain yet.

When the female marine turned her head, she found her friend was already covered in blood, with a slash mark on her chest and abdomen that reached her organs.

*Slash*, another blade aura slashed out from the deck.

"What... exactly is going on?"

The female marine stood on the deck, somewhat dazed. From the moment the warship was attacked until now, it had been at most a dozen seconds, but in these dozen seconds, the warship they were on seemed like it would sink at any moment.

Although these female marines were well-trained, they were all acting under orders. If their superior didn't appear, they wouldn't know what to do for a moment. If it were pirates, although they would flee immediately, they would also find a way to save their lives first.

"The enemy is in the sea! The prisoner has escaped!!"

A roar spread out. It was a burly female marine. She gave people only one feeling: fierce, a woman as strong as a bear.

Hearing this roar, the female marines on the deck pulled out the weapons at their waists one after another, quickly formed ranks, and intended to jump into the sea to capture the enemy.

*Snap*, wooden planks flew—it was Vice Admiral Tsuru.

The disheveled Vice Admiral Tsuru practically crawled out of the cabin. Her clothes were soaked through with seawater. As a Devil Fruit user, escaping from seawater was by no means a simple matter.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Vice Admiral Tsuru coughed up several mouthfuls of seawater. After taking a few deep breaths, the loss of strength gradually receded. She looked up and scanned the situation on the deck, immediately noticing the female marines who were about to jump into the sea to meet the enemy.

"Don't jump!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru shouted, but unfortunately, she shouted a bit too late; three female marines had already leaped into mid-air.

Water splashed, and the three female marines fell into the water. Just as they entered the water, one of them screamed and vanished from the surface instantly.

Vice Admiral Tsuru walked quickly to the ship's side, signaling to lower the lifeboat. Soon, the two female marines in the water climbed onto the lifeboat.

Just when everyone thought the female marine had met with disaster, she broke through the sea with a *splash*, gasping for air while showing a look of terror.

"Underwater... there are sharks."

"!"

The two female marines on the lifeboat turned pale. Don't think that sharks in the Pirate World are low-tier; these sharks mostly have Sea King bloodlines. Although they aren't large in size, they are exceptionally fierce.

Were there really sharks in the sea? Of course not. After the female marine choked on a few mouthfuls of seawater, she was clearly a bit dizzy. What she actually saw was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's white fur made her mistake it for a shark with a Sea King bloodline.

A white shadow flashed past underwater, and this time, no one dared to enter the water.

The warship gradually sank. Because they only needed to escort Su Xiao, there was only this one warship on the sea. Once the warship sank, it would be a devastating disaster for these marines. The only good news was that no more slashes were flying out from under the hull.

At this time, Su Xiao had no time to slash the ship; someone was struggling to pursue him underwater.

In the seawater, Su Xiao stepped on the water beneath him, layers of water ripples spread, and his body suddenly accelerated, shooting toward the seabed.

Ten-plus meters above Su Xiao, Garp also broke through the seawater at high speed, pursuing Su Xiao directly. Garp was clearly faster than Su Xiao.

*Glug, glug. *

Large bubbles surged from the scuba regulator in Su Xiao's mouth. He turned his head to look at Garp above him. Finding that the other party was getting closer, he immediately turned his body in the water and slashed a few times at Garp.

The blade auras slashed out fine water ripples in the seawater, slashing directly at Garp.

Garp kicked the seawater beside him, and with a muffled *thud*, he moved sideways for more than ten meters, dodging the incoming blade auras.

Although Garp dodged the blade auras, the distance between him and Su Xiao opened up again, which angered Garp quite a bit.

Su Xiao had a scuba regulator and could breathe underwater, but Garp didn't; he could only rely on holding his breath.

If it were normal breath-holding, Garp could dive underwater for half an hour or even an hour without problems, but while pursuing Su Xiao, the oxygen in his blood was consumed at high speed. In five minutes at most, Garp would need to go to the surface to catch his breath.

Now Su Xiao and Garp were about 100 meters deep underwater. The water pressure here was already very strong, the limit for a normal person without a diving suit, but for Su Xiao and Garp, this level of water pressure was within an acceptable range.

Su Xiao dove down, Garp pursued from behind. Whenever Garp approached Su Xiao, he would slash large blade auras at Garp.

Underwater, Garp couldn't resist the blade auras head-on. If he used Haki to defend, the blade auras wouldn't hurt him, but heaven knows how far he would be slashed away.

Something that drove Garp crazy happened: he was surprised to find that he couldn't catch up to Su Xiao in the seawater.

When diving to 260 meters underwater, Garp clearly felt the sea pressure around him increase, and the feeling of stuffiness in his chest became more and more obvious.

*Boom, boom, boom... *

Not-so-loud explosions came from above. Hearing this sound, Garp immediately thought someone was bombing the ship again.

Just as Garp turned around, preparing to give up the pursuit, a blade aura slashed at his spine.

Something that made Garp roll his eyes in anger happened: Su Xiao actually took the initiative to surface, the meaning clearly being that he wanted to have a fight with him.

Although there wasn't much oxygen left in his lungs, Garp also met Su Xiao. Just then, Su Xiao stepped on the seawater and continued to dive downward.

Although Garp wasn't a high-IQ powerhouse, he definitely wasn't stupid. He already understood what Su Xiao was doing; this guy was waiting for the oxygen in his body to run out.

Thinking of this, Garp didn't hesitate and turned to swim toward the sea surface.

*Zing. *

The blade rang crisply. Hearing this sharp slashing sound, Garp turned around instinctively, blocking with one arm in front of him and covering his arm with Armament Haki.

Arcs of electricity surged on the surface of Checking Zhan Long Shan, and the bright blade slashed onto Garp's arm.

*Slash*, the blade cut through the defense of the Armament Haki, leaving a slash mark at least four centimeters deep on Garp's arm. For an arm, a four-centimeter-deep wound was already very serious; any deeper and it would affect the bone.

The sharpness of the legendary-grade Checking Zhan Long Shan couldn't be blocked even by top-tier Armament Haki. This was the only ability of the weapon Su Xiao had spent a fortune to forge: sharpness.

If one couldn't even break the enemy's defense, no matter how flashy the ability was, it was useless.
