Chapter 276 Garp vs. Kyle

Meanwhile, let's rewind to a short time ago, when Kyle had just hung up on Satan.

Garp and Aokiji, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed at Kyle, their pupils filled with nothing but shock.

It wasn't that they were making a fuss; it was just that what they had just witnessed had been far too impactful for them.

Who is Satanna?!

One of the highest leaders of the world government, revered as one of the Five Elders.

To people like Garp and Aokiji who were unaware of Im's existence, the Five Elders were the pinnacle of world power.

A single word or action can influence the fate of countless people.

Although Garp had already taken action against this so-called supreme ruler of the world decades ago when he was at God Valley.

But the situation back then was a bit different from now, wasn't it?

At least on the surface, Garp will not oppose the World Government.

But Kyle's performance just now can be described as going head-to-head with Satan, showing him absolutely no mercy!

What I'm saying is, it's possible to make a slight concession, right?

At Garp and Aokiji's level, it's clear that Satan wouldn't actually kill Luffy and his crew as he claims.

That's unrealistic!

First of all, let's not even talk about Garp and the others disagreeing with doing this; the Navy could easily lose control as a result, which would be like shooting themselves in the foot for the World Government.

Moreover, the world government has stood in the world for more than eight hundred years.

However, a strong person at the Admiral level still holds a significant position in the World Government's eyes, especially since Luffy and his two companions are not ordinary Admiral-level talents.

Even among generals, there are differences in strength, and these differences are not small.

In the words of David D. Jones, the gap between the general and the general levels is still quite large.

For example, the general who was once defeated by Rocks in one move was rather weak.

The three generals we have today are not ordinary generals; even within the general rank, they are among the strongest.

And the potential shown by Luffy and his crew...

They are definitely not weaker than the current three admirals, and may even be stronger than Aokiji and his contemporaries.

The Navy is a subordinate agency of the World Government, and strictly speaking, Luffy and his crew are also part of the World Government's camp.

So how could Satan possibly do something that weakens its own side?

Even someone as slow-witted as Garp could tell that Satan just wanted an explanation and was trying to bargain with them.

So they have already made preparations to pay a certain price.

But to their surprise, Kyle showed no mercy and directly confronted Satan head-on.

Is this... appropriate?

Thinking of this, Aokiji couldn't hold back any longer and hesitantly spoke:

"Kyle, will doing this... cause any trouble?"

"What could possibly happen?!"

Kyle asked calmly, glancing at Aokiji, before speaking softly:

"With me here, nothing will happen!"

Kyle's tone was calm, but it carried a strong sense of confidence.

"Um?!"

These words startled both Aokiji and Garp, causing them to frown in unison.

In the past, Kyle was confident, but not to the extent he is now.

Even now, Kyle's confidence seems more like... arrogance to them!

After all, Kyle's arrogant demeanor has somewhat exceeded the bounds of confidence.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Garp looked at Kyle with a deep gaze and spoke abruptly:

"Kyle, just how strong are you now...?"

Karp was very curious. In his opinion, Kyle must have made a great breakthrough in strength, which was why he was so confident now. Otherwise, there was no way to explain his behavior.

Because in his view, Kyle had never seemed like the kind of person who would be blindly arrogant.

So if Kyle said that, he must have his own reasons for being so confident.

In this world, confidence... most likely stems from strength!

Two years ago, during the Impel Down war, although Kayle had already shown tremendous strength, Garp still thought she was a match for him.

At least at that time, Karp was confident that he could fight Kyle and had a good chance of winning.

However, two years have passed, and based on Garp's understanding of Kyle, Kyle's strength has definitely improved significantly. He is probably no longer Kyle's match.

Garp only knew that Kyle would make a breakthrough, but he had no idea how big the breakthrough would be or what level of strength he would reach.

Because he hadn't fought Kyle for over two years.

Two years ago, Kyle would occasionally pick a fight with him, but that situation has completely disappeared in the last two years.

Garp naturally understood what this meant: Kyle believed that Garp's strength was no longer enough to hone his skills, which was why he hadn't come to fight him.

So...

How strong is Kyle right now?

Garp was very curious! Extremely curious!!

"Um?!"

Kyle glanced over and landed on Garp, a smile suddenly appearing on his lips.

"My current strength?"

"It's highly likely that it has reached a level that you, old man Garp, cannot defeat!"

"oh?!"

Karp raised an eyebrow.

"So confident?!"

"certainly!!"

"Then let's give it a try?"

"Are you looking for a beating?"

Kyle looked at Karp and asked with a smile.

"Kid, don't be so arrogant. It's not certain who'll beat whom yet!!"

Garp grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Seeing this, Kyle didn't say anything more, but a strange smile appeared on his lips, and then he slowly stood up.

"Shall we find a place to practice?"

"Walk!!"

……

Before long, Kyle and his two companions arrived at a huge deserted island not far away.

The environment on this deserted island is incredibly beautiful, with lush greenery everywhere and excessively dense vegetation, and no human habitation in sight.

The trees intertwined, completely blocking out the sunlight, and there was hardly any place to stand on the island.

At that moment, Kyle and Karp were each standing on the canopy of a tree.

The two were about thirty meters apart, their eyes fixed on each other.

At this moment, Garp was not wearing his familiar navy cloak, but a simple dark blue shirt. His high, bulging muscles filled out the shirt, making him look incredibly muscular.

Kyle, on the other side, was also wearing a simple white shirt, and his muscles weren't as bulging as Garp's.

But the muscle definition is also clearly visible, and you can feel the power even through the clothes.

"Kyle, come to think of it, it's been a long time since we played together, hasn't it?"

"I'd like to see just how much your strength has improved in the past two years, brat!!"

Garp clenched his fist, the bones cracking as they rubbed together.

Kyle smiled.

"Just don't get beaten up and scream in pain later!!"
