On the other side of the ice platform, unlike the packed conflict going on, was quite barren except for three people, Roya, Lawe and Garpina.
"It's quiet here, so peaceful compared to the amount of bloodshed happening on the other side."
Garpina:"You're not lying, but I'm still going to bring you to Impel Down, whether you like it or not."
"We will see about that, Vice Admiral."
Roya looks towards Lawe, who understands it is time to start taking this fight seriously, even if there is an old woman before them.
Roya fully puts his gloves on, and calls for Garuda to wrap itself in a ball, while Garpina now charges towards them.
Roya flings Garuda towards her legs, but she dodges, and manages to blitz both him and Lawe, just in time to land a punch towards his guts, and sending him back.
Just as she tries to run to Lawe, she has to dodge Garuda again, buying time for Roya to get in close range.
They both send multiple punches towards eachother, but due to Garpina's strength, speed and experience, she easily beats Roya in terms of hand to hand combat.
Lawe tries to catch her off-guard, but due to Future Sight, she manages to dodge her attacks every single time.
Roya continues to fight her at close combat, even trying to grapple her, but she always slips away and sends him away.
Due to Garpina not taking hits, unlike Kaido's way of fighting, Roya has a much harder battle in terms of trying to win, meaning both sides are at a stalemate.
Roya creates distance between them both, and punches the ground, sending cracks across the ice, and lifts a large piece of ice.
He throws it at her, which she breaks easily, and diverts Roya's punch from below, whilst simultaneously dodging Lawe's attack.
Roya concentrates his mass into his core whilst grabbing Garpina's arm, causing her to lose balance, presenting an opportunity to slice off her arm.
However, Garpina uses her Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki to make her attack ineffective, and sends her away with a punch.
However, this allows Garuda to wrap around Garpina's arm, allowing Roya to have a blatant hit if executed perfectly.
And it does work.
Black Flash!!!
Garpina is sent flying away, and lands on the ice with blood all over her chin, but, due to her protecting her chest with Armament Haki, she doesn't suffer an injury.
'Even a Black Flash barely damages her, I need one more Black Flash, at least one more.'
Roya rushes towards Garpina, but she gets back up and rushes towards Roya with a toothy grin, making Roya feel uneasy.
As Roya brings back his punch, wrapped with Garuda, Garpina surprisingly wraps Conquerer's Haki around her fist, presenting her Advanced Conquerer's Haki to Roya.
Roya doesn't decide to pull back, and they both hit eachother, fist to fist.
A large shockwave occurs, with their fists not touching, but due to the lack of Conquerer's Haki, Roya is sent flying despite his punch being stronger.
Garpina:"Haki is what wins you battles at the top, devil fruits won't save you unless you have mastered Haki itself."
'No shit! I already had Kaido say that to me!'
Roya gets up again with minimal damage, and senses Lami preparing another attack.
Roya rushes to Garpina, and grabs Garuda's tail, trying to make Garpina catch it, but is unsuccessful.
She slams him into the ground, grabs his leg, and sends him skidding over the ice, while Lawe prepares to strike.
"K-Room!"
Garpina is hit with the blade from Lawe, and is perplexed of the lack of pain she receives until...
"Shock Willie!!!"
Garpina suffers a lot of internal damage, but somehow, she doesn't get knocked out, and grabs Lawe's blade, dragging her.
Roya comes in from behind, wrapping his legs on her waist, and attempts to strangle her with Garuda.
Lawe tries to send another attack, but is hindered by the outburst of Conquerer's Haki from Garpina.
She then grabs Roya from behind, slams him into the ground, and before Roya can send a counterattack, Garpina uses Ryuo Armament Haki, destroying Roya's insides, literally.
Roya tries to create distance between them, but Garpina uses another advanced Conquerer's attack to send him flying away from the battlefield.
Lawe tries to take off Garpina's arm, but isn't given anytime to attack, being forced into a full defensive stance.
Lawe continues to dodge Garpina's attacks, just in time for Roya to make it back into the battle.
Roya comes back, with a glowing purple fist, wrapped with Garuda, and prepares to try to knock her out.
Garpina, sensing the danger, prepares to attack with her most powerful attack without being left vulnerable.
"Let me show you why you need to respect your elders!"
"Celestial Punch!!!"
"Galaxy Impact!!!"
As a result of the destructive capabilities of both attacks, a shockwave occurs, breaking the ice scattering for miles around.
Garpina and Roya are left with a clash of pure power, while Lawe attempts to attack from behind.
"Shock Willie!!"
Garpina wins the clash, sending Roya away, with blood spraying all over his body.
But, she is critically hit by Lawe, sending her into an extreme state, bordering unconsiousness, and attempts to meet up with Kuzana to abort the mission.
Lawe tries to attack Garpina in close range, but is sent flying by her, resulting in Garpina being able to freely run to the main battle.
Roya gets up out of the ocean yet again, and dashes towards the main battlefield, along with Lawe to not allow Issha and the rest to get outnumbered.
Meanwhile, in the other battlefield, both Kuzana and Issha are all bloodied up, with Kuzana having a swordfight with her, which she obviously has the advantage over Kuzana.
As Kuzana attempts to send another flurry of ice attacks, Garpina arrives onto the battlefield, confusing Kuzana, whilst worrying Issha a bit.
However, those thoughts are instantly proved wrong with the arrival of Roya and Lawe.
This surprises both Kuzana and Garpina, due to the fact that both Lawe and Lami have showed the use of the same fruit, making them question how that is even possible.
