Chapter 418: Garp vs Roger Pirates
"Roger, what are you doing here?" Garp clenched his fist.
"Hahaha! Garp, our treasured Jackson was almost destroyed by you.
If we don't teach you a lesson, we won't be satisfied." Roger smiled as he looked at Garp, with one hand on the handle of the sword at his waist, already prepared to deal with the upcoming great battle.
The other members around them also burst forth with powerful battle aura.
They were chased here by Garp, but they deliberately ignored this point and didn't say it.
What was important was that their objective was achieved.
This could also be said to be a tacit agreement between both sides.
This kind of thing was actually not the first time, and the Roger Pirates had more than once acted as Garp's proxy to take the blame.
Who said Garp's thoughts were relatively simple?
It was just that there were too many shackles placed upon him, and many things could not be done directly.
Here at Marine Headquarters.
"How did the Roger Pirates appear?
Could it be for revenge against Marine Vice Admiral Garp?
Should we send people over for reinforcements?"
They had thought Garp's appearance had already concluded this incident, but then the Roger Pirates emerged.
Roger's words naturally made them think it was for revenge against Garp, following Garp secretly all the way to Mozartelt Kingdom.
This was also a reason to convince themselves, and it was the most likely scenario.
"Forget it, the distance is too far."
Tsuru shook her head.
She guessed the outcome of this incident, so there was no need to waste energy doing unnecessary things.
With only Garp alone, with the Roger Pirates obstructing him, they no longer had a chance.
Since this was Garp's choice, as a companion of many years, she also needed to give support.
"With Garp's combat strength, there will be no danger.
Just believe in him."
"In that case, we need to be prepared to lose Mozartelt Kingdom as a member nation."
"Alright, I'll go ask the Government for their opinion."
Hearing Tsuru's words, Kong also knew this mission was likely to fail, but this was the Roger Pirates' problem, and they, the Marines, had already done their best.
"Roger!"
As soon as he saw Roger, Kaido's eyes became a little red.
Angrily wanting to have a great battle with him.
However, Kaido maintained his rationality.
The most important thing currently was not the Roger Pirates; there would be many opportunities in the future.
Moreover, that previous battle still left some shadow on him.
Seeing so many Combatants around Roger, especially with the other two great powerhouses, including Rayleigh and Gaban, present, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
With the Roger Pirates dealing with Garp, he could conveniently deal with Hamza.
Waiting until he took over this kingdom, it wouldn't be too late for him to join this battle.
Thinking this, Kaido's gaze turned towards Hamza again.
And Hamza's expression was terrible, instantly went from heaven to hell.
He had thought he could be saved, but then a disruptor emerged.
This kind of situation simply couldn't be worse for him.
Seeing Kaido charging over.
Garp was just about to make a move, and at that instant, a sharp sword flash struck towards him.
He jumped to the side, avoiding this sword.
Raising his iron fist coated with Haki, he directly smashed forward.
At the same time, Roger's figure appeared, wielding his long saber.
"Boom!"
A simple collision stirred up intense shockwaves.
This was not some sparring.
They understood each other too well; they could be said to be old opponents.
As soon as they made a move, they went all out.
"Divine Departure!"
Roger held his sword with both hands, and his pupils flashed scarlet.
Black-Red Lightning flashed on Ace, coating powerful Conqueror's Haki, carrying an ultimate black radiance.
Facing this sword from Roger, Garp naturally wouldn't be careless.
He returned a powerful punch.
Ultimate Armament Haki coated his right fist.
"Bone Fist: Starfall!"
In the blink of an eye, the world changed color, and the terrifying commotion affected a surrounding area of thousands of meters.
Reporter Birds all found it difficult to maintain their stability.
For a time, the live streaming footage swayed back and forth.
The Reporter Bird rapidly flapped its wings.
The violent airflow greatly affected its flight.
Looking at the footage that had become stable, Morgans felt relieved.
He then turned his head to look at the editor behind him.
"Did you hear that?
Marine Vice Admiral Garp's technique, Bone Fist: Starfall!
Write it down for me."
"I've already written it down, President."
This editor nodded seriously.
He wouldn't let go of any intelligence on important figures.
As for Roger's technique, it had already been exposed as early as the Sword Tournament.
Roger's objective this time was to teach Garp a lesson.
The other crewmates wouldn't just stand by and watch.
Rayleigh slashed towards Garp with a sword.
Garp nimbly dodged backwards.
Before he could even catch his breath, Roger charged up again.
Also making a move was Gaban holding twin axes.
At this time, Garp could no longer dodge.
He kicked towards Roger with one foot, while simultaneously blocking Gaban's attack with both fists.
Facing two terrifying forces, Garp's body was directly forced back.
Besides Gaban and Rayleigh, Roger's two right-hand men.
The other Combatants surrounded him.
"Garp, I told you I was going to teach you a lesson." Roger laughed heartily as he looked at the surrounded Garp, holding Ace in his hand and pointing at Garp, "If you can't handle it, just run."
Garp had been chasing him for over twenty years; it had always been him running away.
If Garp were to run away in front of him, this would also be an interesting experience.
"That's truly despicable, as expected of Demon Roger, to actually gang up on him."
For a time, some Marines and citizens watching the footage successively voiced their indignation.
Compared to Garp, Roger's reputation was undoubtedly worse.
After sailing on The Great Sea for so many years, it couldn't be washed clean.
"Huh?
You're looking down on me, Roger.
If anyone's running, it's you.
You want to teach me a lesson?
Let your strength do the talking."
Garp heard Roger's words, grinned and laughed.
The Cloak of Justice behind him was flung off by his hand, revealing a black suit.
He twisted his neck, and Garp loosened his tie, ready for the great battle at any moment.
"Hoho!
Marine Vice Admiral Garp alone in a great battle against the Roger Pirates, an even more exciting great battle is about to begin."
Morgans laughed excitedly.
His voice was like a declaration of war, and the great battle began directly.
Facing so many strong individuals, who also cooperated with great tacit agreement with each other, Garp was under no small pressure.
Although he was fearless, it didn't mean he didn't know the strength of the Roger Pirates.
Garp made the first move, heading straight for his old opponent, Roger.
And a figure directly blocked in front of him, holding a sword horizontally with one hand, blocking Garp's iron fist.
"Garp, if you want to get to our Captain, you'll have to get past us first."
The figure that appeared was officially Rayleigh.
His gaze fixed on Garp, he smiled easily.
Garp didn't say a word, but spoke with action, bursting forth with astonishing speed.
His figure disappeared from the spot.
His speed was too fast, instantly crossing past Rayleigh.
And Roger had long been prepared.
At the instant Garp passed by Rayleigh, he appeared on Garp's path.
"Divine Departure!"
A sword strike hit Garp's abdomen, sending the entire person flying backwards.
And Roger exchanged a smile with Rayleigh.
Wasn't that intentional on Rayleigh's part?
The Roger Pirates' Combatant, Eye Dragon, seized the opportunity and punched Garp in the head.
Garp, who was already flying backwards, had his path shifted because of this punch.
The remaining Combatants made their moves.
In the blink of an eye, Garp received several attacks.
Garp's legs sank into the ground, stabilizing his body.
Under powerful Armament, he didn't suffer very heavy injuries, but he wasn't feeling too good either.
Charging forward again, Garp sent Eye Dragon flying with a punch, and with another kick, made Spencer retreat repeatedly.
And with the appearance of Rayleigh and Gaban, two powerful slashes instantly sent Garp flying away.
In such a great battle, the Roger Pirates' crewmates maintained astonishing tacit agreement.
Although Garp wasn't completely powerless to fight back, he was also under suppression in most situations.
Many a time, Garp had to face the attacks of two, even three or four people, and secretly, there were also the Roger Pirates' top gunmen.
Although he didn't show any signs of decline, Garp's consumption was undoubtedly greater, and in the end, he would certainly be defeated.
