Chapter 74 I will challenge you, the... pinnacle of the Flower Kingdom!
The wooden beams of the attic creaked under the weight of the collision between the two invisible forces.
Between Allen and Green Pepper's confronting figures, sparks of black and red lightning flashed, a testament to the head-on clash of kingly qualities, a clash that only one in a million could achieve.
……
The terrifying collision instantly froze the clamor of the martial arts tournament below, plunging the boiling arena into deathly silence.
The spectators who had been cheering with raised fists froze in place, and the contestants who were about to go on stage stopped in their tracks.
Some spectators near the attic collapsed to the ground, their faces ashen, their bodies convulsing unconsciously, their eyes rolling back as they lost consciousness.
……
"Th-what is that...?"
The referee on the high platform pointed to the indistinct figure on the rooftop amidst the billowing wind, his fingers trembling incessantly.
Some of the official members of the Babao Water Army, though not fainting, felt a chill run through their bodies and experienced a tremor from the depths of their souls.
"It's the Green Pepper leader!! He hasn't used that domineering power in many years..."
"Who is it?! Who's there?!"
When the roof tiles were blown off by the blast wave and fragments fell across the square, the crowd erupted in belated gasps of surprise.
"I heard from my men that there were signs of the navy at the port today... Could it be...?"
"Is the Navy's Conqueror's Haki user Garp, the hero!?"
"What?! Garp?!?!" an elderly Happo Marine exclaimed. His eyesight was failing, and he tripped over several unconscious spectators while fleeing.
His skills improved to a visible degree, and he finally spun 720 degrees in mid-air and rolled down the edge of the mountain.
……
Robin crouched down to make himself less noticeable, raised his hand to shield himself from the wind and waves, and looked at the young man in black standing in the corner of the attic.
Her black hair danced wildly, revealing only half of her fair face and a glimpse of deep red eyes.
he is……
-
-
Carrara —
The two men's domineering aura was like two giant dragons tearing at each other, creating a shockwave that could be seen with the naked eye.
Green Pepper's originally amiable face now appears ferocious due to his wildly dancing white beard, and his sharp, fierce gaze reveals the arrogance of someone who once roamed the seas.
Allen's eyes were cold as ice, sharp as spears, piercing through that arrogance.
……
"Little brat..."
Green Pepper grinned, looking like a demon: "After Garp, the Navy has finally produced someone with the potential to be a king."
"You're incredibly naive!"
"You think... I'd hesitate to attack you because of my so-called naval identity?!"
"I'm the Green Pepper from the Cone!!!!"
boom!!!
In an instant, Green Pepper's domineering aura surged dramatically, subtly overshadowing Allen's Conqueror's Haki.
Allen remained unmoved and smiled faintly, "That's great. Let me see how much strength the once great pirate still has left."
……
Apply what you've learned.
The best way to prove your strength is through battle.
He's still far from being one of the top fighters on the high seas, but ordinary opponents have already lost their appeal to him.
Before coming to the Flower Country, Allen wanted to challenge Green Pepper.
……
Secretly protect Robin, stage a scene to make her realize the conspiracy, take advantage of the situation to gain her trust, and steal her ability to decipher ancient texts.
boring!!
Just make sure she doesn't die; I'm not in the mood for treasure hunts or puzzle games!
Since we're here...
How could Allen possibly resist... challenging this unparalleled master of the Flower Kingdom!
……
Those who don't live in the Flower Country simply can't understand Chinjao's prestige there; it's like Garp's prestige in the Navy.
The people of the Flower Kingdom may not know the king's name, but they cannot be unaware of green peppers.
At the height of the Eight Treasures Navy's power, this country was their backyard, and the Frozen Continent was merely a treasure chest used by Green Pepper to hide his treasures.
Even though he was defeated by Garp twenty years ago and his famous cone-shaped head was dented, he is still the strongest in the Flower Country.
……
Six years...
The brat who wasn't even qualified to look from afar can now stand before you with dignity and declare war!
Thinking of this, Allen couldn't help but open his arms, his smile gradually becoming unrestrained.
"Come on!! Green peppers!"
-
The lingering power of the Conqueror's Haki had not yet dissipated; the wooden planks of the attic were still creaking...
Bang!
Green Pepper stomped his feet on the floor and charged toward Allen like a cannonball, his flat forehead instantly covered with jet-black Armament Haki.
"Eight-Strike Fist - Martial Head!!"
His hoarse voice echoed throughout the arena, and the combination of his full weight and the terrifying power of the green pepper made the move as fierce as a meteor.
Allen's eyes narrowed, and his right hand was also covered with a thick layer of Armament Haki.
Compared to Green Pepper's pure black Armament Haki, Allen's Armament Haki carries a few strange black and red wisps.
Dark Entanglement: Armament Haki!
……
bang————
The moment the two enormous forces collided, the shockwave surged like a tsunami, and the railings at the edge of the attic shattered into wood chips.
The audience in the plaza below was thrown backward by the wind pressure, and gasped in surprise.
Click—
The corner of the attic where Allen was standing couldn't withstand the pressure and broke, causing him to lean backward.
Before he could adjust his posture, Green Pepper used the force of the collision to leap into the air.
The fact that they didn't take advantage of the momentum wasn't because Green Pepper was going to hold back, but rather because they were preparing for an even stronger attack.
The green pepper in mid-air spun at an incredible speed, its body spinning like a top, creating a whirlwind.
"Eight-Strike Fist - Martial Head Spin!!"
In the storm, the green pepper turned into afterimages, and attacks came from all directions!
……
"That's the Green Pepper Leader's Eight-Strike Fist!"
"That's a century-old, authentic tradition passed down through generations of the Eight Treasures Navy! Even swords and blades cannot harm someone who has mastered the Eight Treasures Fist!!"
Just as Wano Country calls Armament Haki "Ryuo," in the Flower Country it is called "Yakuryuu Ken Okui."
The three types of Haki are the official names used by the World Government. There are countless islands on the sea, and many powers have different names.
……
Allen tiptoed across the broken eaves, his Sharingan eyes precisely capturing every attack. His figure flickered in afterimages, like a leaf falling in the wind.
With a sharp look in his eyes, Allen saw a gap in Green Pepper's attack and delivered a powerful side kick to Green Pepper's spinning torso.
The Eight-Strike Fist - Martial Head Spin - combines offense and defense, with the rotating shockwave dissipating most of the kicking force.
The experienced green pepper took advantage of the impact to stop abruptly, turned around, and delivered a huge fist.
clang----
Allen formed a shield with both hands, steadily catching Chinjao's Armament Haki-infused fist, and smiled: "His strength is far inferior to that of Zephyr-sensei."
"Green Pepper, do you know what Garp's disciple said about that incident back then?"
Green Pepper paused his offensive, then spoke in a deep voice, "What else can I say? It was a tough battle, and I narrowly lost!"
"I will settle this score with Garp... and Garp's descendants, sooner or later!"
……
"It's different from what I heard..."
"Kuzan said that if Vice Admiral Garp hadn't wanted to defeat you in your most proudest area, it wouldn't have taken more than two moves."
"Your prized cone-shaped head is nothing more than training equipment that Lieutenant General Garp might be slightly interested in."
"Because of you, even I, who come from the Land of Flowers, am being looked down upon, Green Pepper."
Allen's words were like knives, cutting deep into Green Pepper's heart.
……
……
……
Green Pepper was furious, his face turning like a demon!
tumultuous!!
He shot into the sky, and the next moment—
The clouds and mist between the mountain peaks collapsed, accompanied by a deafening roar.
"The Secret Technique of Eight-Strike Fist - Dragon Without Cone, Nail Without Cone!!!"
