"Hiss!"
At the messy Scrap Island.
Looking back at the hill that was easily torn apart like tofu.
Garp's eyes narrowed sharply, and he took a deep breath of air.
But before he could be shocked, his hair stood up again, then he kept retreating violently.
Smoke and dust billowed, and gravel flew.
In the blink of an eye, whether it is a towering hill, a solid reef, or an abandoned old shipwreck... Everything was ruthlessly penetrated one after another.
Garp kept dodging awkwardly, narrowly escaping the fatal blow.
"It's already so fast. Hasn't his speed reached the limit?"
Looking at his bloody shoulder, which was still scratched despite trying his best to avoid it, Garp's eyes narrowed sharply: "He actually accelerated again... this monster!"
If he hadn't dodged quickly enough just now, he might have been stabbed directly through his heart from his back.
"Boom…!"
At this time, intense light shines violently.
Luke's whole body was intertwined with terrifying lightning, and his figure appeared not far from Garp.
But his whole body was blazing with so much light that his figure was a little blurry.
Even the surrounding atmosphere is a little distorted.
Garp's eyes narrowed.
Only then did he discover that Luke's original move had changed at some point.
Only the index finger is stretched out, the other fingers are already bent, and the terrifying lightning and powerful Haki cover and wrap around it like an extremely sharp spear.
It produced extremely dangerous and murderous intent that made Garp feel danger.
"Lightning Flash!!"
The next moment, Luke disappeared instantly.
Like a teleporting, he appeared in front of Garp.
"Don't underestimate people, I'm Garp the fist!!!"
The hair on his head stood up.
With strong fighting instincts and Observation-Haki, Garp let out a loud shout and punched Luke boldly, who rushed towards him like lightning.
However, something horrifying happened.
"Brush——"
Without any warning, Luke, who was bathed in blazing light and attacked with lightning speed, seemed to be close at hand and had a scarlet light flash in his eyes.
His figure suddenly disappeared in front of Garp like a ghost.
"What!?" Garp had a drastic change of expression due to shock.
The unprecedented crisis made his hair stand on end.
"That's it, Garp!"
Almost the next moment.
The terrifying figure, full of murderous intent, attacked at the back of the Naval Hero at a terrifying speed that made it impossible to dodge.
Like lightning, it leaves no time for him to react.
"You're not even close yet, kid!"
However, no one expected that Garp, who was originally shocked, suddenly turned around.
Relying on his rich combat experience, he deliberately shows a flaw to lure Luke, and then he brazenly waves his fist, which had been wrapped around the powerful Haki for a long time.
It completely overwhelmed the air.
It hit Luke, who was suddenly attacked from behind.
"Boom…!"
At the same time, a splash of blood splattered.
Luke is also not a fool.
Garp's broad chest was stabbed directly by his hand, which was sharper than a spear and penetrated mercilessly.
"Cough—"
Garp vomited blood.
With his eyes bulging, he looked in disbelief at the figure in front of him whose chest collapsed due to his own blow.
He also couldn't help vomiting blood and flew out like a cannonball: "You guy… have you seen the future?"
Luke, with a distorted face, flew out like a cannonball, but he was laughing there: "Garp... do you think I didn't discover your plan?"
The ground rumbled, and smoke filled the air.
Luke's figure hit the ground hard, sending up sand, gravel, and sawdust all over the sky.
"Luke-sama!!"
"Luke!!"
High in the air at the Ark Maxim.
Wyper and Kalifa's expressions changed drastically.
Even Lucci and Kaku, who were restrained by Luke and unable to move, were no exception.
Shocked and inexplicable, they looked down at the smoke-filled area.
Then they looked at Garp, who was dripping with blood and had his chest penetrated.
Garp held his bloody right chest.
There, a shocking, charred, and scalp-numbing bloody hole appeared.
If he hadn't reacted quickly enough and dodged at the critical moment.
He's afraid that his heart would have been penetrated.
He staggered a little and stared at the smoke-covered area in front of him: "Has he actually reached this level?"
In countless previous confrontations, Garp has confirmed that although Luke's innate Observation-Haki is powerful, he cannot foresee the future.
He never expected that the other party had already faintly touched this area.
He sensed his intentions immediately and deliberately fell for his trap.
If not for foreseeing the future.
In such a critical moment, Luke would never be able to hurt himself, making him instinctively avoid and fight back desperately.
Trade injury for injury.
"Boom…!"
In the smoke and dust that had not yet dispersed, Luke's figure slowly walked out.
With blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, he covered his collapsed chest, bared his teeth, and said: "As expected, this punch is really hard enough!"
"Life returned!"
He clenched his fists, and then his muscles all turned tense, and his momentum kept rising.
Immediately afterward, a horrifying scene happened.
In the blink of an eye, his chest, which collapsed due to Garp's punch and had an unknown number of broken ribs, swelled and returned to its original shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the perfect genetically modified warrior, with his super self-healing ability and Life Return, he can easily do this.
"This..."
Garp's pupils shrank sharply.
His eyes widened, and he lost his voice in disbelief.
"Hmph, you are getting old after all, Garp…"
Staring directly at Garp, who was covered in blood.
Luke wiped the blood and said calmly: "If you were younger and still in your prime, I may not necessarily be your opponent now!"
Now, Garp can probably give him a 50-50 shot.
But in fact, this refers to the situation when he does not use the Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability.
Because from the beginning until now, except for using Shadow Revolution to perform attacks such as Flame King Snake, he has basically never used the ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.
In terms of Conqueror Haki's, Garp is on par with him.
As for Observation-Haki, he can be said to be slightly better, but this Naval Hero who has experienced many battles is better because of his rich experience.
At Armament Haki, Garp is undoubtedly slightly better, but with his iron skin and strong self-healing ability, he can make up for this shortcoming and compete with him head-on.
But the other party is getting older, after all.
As time goes by, it is inevitable that he will lose his physical strength and be at a disadvantage.
