Chapter 114 Fire——
Dressrosa.
The capital city sank, and seawater overflowed, forming a huge lake.
Large chunks of ice crystals float on the seawater lake, along with the remains of burning buildings.
The edges are riddled with countless ravines carved by slashing, leaving irreparable scars on the country.
For two whole days, this land endured unbearable pain.
……
The clouds broke apart.
Doflamingo watched the dragon's shadow recede into the distance and fell silent.
Vice Admiral Aokiji, a monster from the Marine Headquarters; Shanks, the next-generation king of the pirates with a bounty of 2 billion; and a mysterious, immortal Celestial Dragon.
This battle with Kaido of the Beasts... no, it should be called a war.
Ultimately, Kaido retreated, and the three were unable to pursue him.
……
If we were to ask Doflamingo, who has a comprehensive view of the situation, to give his opinion...
The play was ugly and not exciting at all.
Aokiji is very powerful, but the Ice Age cannot stop the Dragon Breath Flame Sea.
Shanks's slashes were astonishing, but their power was less than that of the Eight Precepts.
Mia Palace... Indeed, some people seem better when they remain mysterious.
Her performance in this battle was far inferior to that of Aokiji and Shanks; she was probably beaten to a pulp by Kaido more than ten times.
The only commendable thing is that she used herself as a human shield, creating several opportunities for Aokiji to strike Kaido.
There are only a few who are stronger than me, but that ability to be immortal...
It's just like hunting!!
The Lunaria and the Celestial Dragons may have a deeper entanglement...
……
Doflamingo was absolutely certain that none of the three of them could defeat Kaido in a one-on-one fight.
However, it was impossible for Kaido to completely defeat the three of them. He probably realized this and decided to retreat because he found it pointless.
Do not……
Doflamingo turned his head to look...
……
"Hey! Where's that brat Kaido?!"
The rough shouts grew louder as they approached, and when Doflamingo saw that imposing figure appear on the horizon, he felt…
He might know why Kaido chose to retreat.
If it's this person...
He unconsciously retreated, hiding himself in the ruins, only daring to watch the figure rapidly approach.
……
Behind him followed the navy personnel who had previously only dared to remain on the coastline, their faces filled with excitement, their swords gripped tightly.
Their expressions looked...
It's as if you know that by following this man, you will never fail, no matter what kind of enemy you face!
The Navy's ace, a living legend...
Hero Garp has arrived!!
……
Shanks, still catching his breath, was startled and shouted to his teammates as he fled, "Run!! If we get caught, we're done for!!"
In fact, the crew had already taken off without him even having to give a signal.
Leaving aside Garp's formidable reputation...
Given what happened in Windmill Village, it would be strange if Garp didn't smash their heads in if he encountered them.
Now, someone's grandson keeps clamoring to be a pirate all day long. I deliberately stayed in the village and beat him up for half a month, but I still couldn't correct him.
……
Peng—!
Karp jumped over from hundreds of meters away and landed with a thud.
He glanced at the ravaged battlefield and grinned.
"The fight's pretty intense. Where's Kaido?"
……
Aokiji, slightly out of breath, said, "Mr. Garp left three minutes before you arrived."
"Heh...this guy's Observation Haki is pretty good."
Knowing Kaido's abilities, Garp didn't mention pursuing him. When he turned and saw Mia Palace, his smile immediately vanished.
An undisguised look of disgust in his eyes.
"Tsk, it's you! What are you doing here!"
Mia Palace's face darkened: "Karp! Don't make me remind you again, you should address me as Mia Palace!"
"Oh, what are you doing here, old woman?"
……
"I'm going to kill you!!" Mia Miya raised her gun to stab Garp, but Aokiji quickly grabbed her.
"Lady Mia, Mr. Garp meant no harm!"
Aokiji looked at Garp helplessly and said with a wry smile, "No matter what, it's impolite to address a lady like that, Mr. Garp."
Garp scoffed, "Kuzan, don't be fooled by appearances."
"This woman looked like this decades ago; she might be old enough to be your grandmother."
"Hey, did you eat some kind of immortality fruit?"
……
"Don't hold me back! I'm going to kill him!!"
"Alright."
Aokiji readily agreed and let go. Mia was taken aback for a moment and turned to look at Aokiji.
"You told me to let go?" Aokiji shrugged helplessly.
……
……
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Mia holstered her gun and said solemnly, "You're too slow, Garp!"
The World Government's strategy toward the Pirate Emperor is to avoid war as much as possible, but once war is decided, it will be necessary to mobilize corresponding forces.
In such a situation, Garp, who is usually unresponsive, would reluctantly obey the World Government's orders and be called up as an important fighting force.
Mia had notified the Navy as soon as Kaido appeared. If she hadn't wanted to wait for reinforcements to take down Kaido, she wouldn't have been willing to be beaten so many times.
Even if you don't die, it will still hurt a lot!
She made such a huge sacrifice, but the operation yielded no results and she even lost a Celestial Dragon!
No matter how you look at it, it's all Garp's fault for arriving too slowly!
……
Garp's face darkened, and his fierce gaze made Mia panic.
"Are you sure you don't know why I'm slow?"
"Give me an explanation for what happened to Zephyr!"
……
Mia frowned. "Zeffa... what do you mean? Why are you suddenly bringing him up?"
"What's wrong with Professor Zephyr? Did something happen to him?" Aokiji asked anxiously.
He had followed Garp for many years, and they were a true master and disciple. However, Zephyr's teachings had also benefited him greatly, and he respected his teacher from the bottom of his heart.
After carefully observing Mia's changing expression and confirming that she was not involved, Garp turned to look at Aokiji and sighed.
"At the same time that happened here, Zephyr's new recruit ship was attacked by pirates. Dozens of recruits were killed, and he himself was seriously injured and unconscious."
"I'll go over there first, get Zephyr and the others onto headquarters' ship, and then come back..."
……
"How is this possible... What kind of pirate could defeat Zephyr-sensei? Could it be Whitebeard? Or Charlotte Linlin!?"
Karp shook his head: "It's not them; that's a problem left over from the old days."
"Zefa is alright, he's not in any life-threatening danger. The problem now is..."
"We've lost contact with Commodore Allen, who's chasing the pirates."
……
Allen...
Aokiji suddenly understood why Allen had left in such a hurry back then. Had he received news of Zephyr's attack...?
"Did headquarters send people to search?! Allen was too impulsive; how could he go after such a terrifying enemy on his own?!"
Despite his exhaustion, Aokiji said in a deep voice, "Which sea area is it? I'll go there right now!"
……
"Uncertain. We've searched the area around where the incident occurred and found a giant sea eye formed by the battle, but we can't find Allen..."
"The investigators at headquarters said..."
Garp shook his head and sighed, "Judging from the intensity of the battle, Allen might perish along with the pirates, perishing in the hands of the Sea Kings..."
"impossible!!"
Aokiji said decisively, "He's definitely not a man who dies so easily!"
Garp was slightly taken aback, then chuckled, "It's rare to see you with this kind of attitude..."
"Then hurry up and come with me. Your abilities are perfect for finding people at sea!"
……
"Wait! Kuzan's current mission..."
"Go to hell with the Celestial Dragons' missions!" Garp grabbed Aokiji, turned around, and cursed angrily.
Mia Palace's fists were clenched until they turned white, and her teeth were clenched tightly.
……
After Garp had run quite a distance, he sneered, "Damn Garp! Damn the D. clan!"
……
-
-
Unknown sea area.
A huge island floats high in the sky.
The island was covered by a lush green forest, and two figures flashed through the trees at high speed, like two bolts of lightning.
Wherever it passed, towering trees snapped and fell with a crash, and birds and beasts scattered and fled.
Peng——
After a violent collision, the battlefield fell silent for a brief moment.
Clang——
The golden lion's feet were stuck in the tree trunk, a deep wound on its shoulder that revealed the bone was slowly bleeding, and messy bangs hung down in front of its forehead, obscuring half of its sharp eyes.
Allen was clearly in worse condition than Shiki.
His chest heaved violently, and the not-yet-fully-healed scar split open completely, bleeding profusely.
He had many wounds of varying depths on his body, and blood dripped down his arms, staining the weapons on his hands.
……
"Hehehe..."
With his signature smile, the golden lion looked down at Allen on the ground.
"What a pity. If you weren't still injured, you probably could have lasted longer."
……
"If that's the case, I would have died long ago without the Flame Fan."
Allen raised a fan and a sword with both hands and laughed, "I won't make excuses for my failure, besides..."
"You're acting like a victor before you've even won."
"It would be very embarrassing to lose."
……
"Hehehehehehehe!!"
"That 'you're the one with that 'you're sure to win' look on your face, aren't you?!"
"Lion's Might - Earth Sweep!!"
The earthquake trembled, and the entire forest was lifted up, transforming into countless enormous Lion Stone Mountains!
After rising to several hundred meters, the golden lion released its control, letting the rocky mountain fall.
"Your thing can't work on a simple stone!"
"Ice can't withstand the pressure of millions of tons, what are you going to do, kid?!"
……
……
The mountains blocked out the sun. Allen formed a hand seal and gently exhaled a breath of intense heat.
A small light appeared in the shadows.
"Fire Release—"
