Chapter 142: Garp VS Newgate
Along the way, seeing the enraged Garp, the Marine Soldiers they passed by quickly made way for him.
Compared to Sengoku and Tsuru, Garp was never easy to deal with.
Over the years, Garp had caused quite a few incidents.
That's why he was still only a Rear Admiral; otherwise, with his Strength, he could have long been promoted to Vice Admiral or even Admiral Candidate.
Watching Garp leave, the atmosphere in the Conference Room improved significantly.
The hearts of the Officers, which had been in their throats, calmed down, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a good thing Kong restrained Garp, or they really would have started fighting.
No one knew that "The Storm Dragon," the Army General who looked calm, was sweating on his back.
In that instant, he felt an extreme threat.
He wanted to flare up but had no way to deal with Garp.
Garp was only a Rear Admiral, yet his Strength was in no way weaker than his.
As a subordinate of Admiral "Steel Bone" Kong, he was definitely a core high-level figure in the Marines' Future.
No matter what kind of trouble he caused, Kong would always clean up after him in the end.
He had used up quite a bit of paper for that over the years.
"Go!"
Walking out of the Base, Garp directly boarded a Warship and gave orders to his Confidants.
"Rear Admiral, where are we going?"
Like Officer, like Subordinate.
Garp's Adjutant understood Garp and asked.
As for the Pass to leave the Port, Garp didn't care about it, so why would he care about these things?
"Let's go find that guy Newgate. I want to have a good Great Battle."
Garp twisted his fists, feeling a surge of anger building up in his body, wanting to be vented.
Upon receiving the order, the Confidants took their positions, and Garp's exclusive Dog Head Warship sailed away from the Port.
"That Madman is here again."
On the Island where Newgate was stationed, hearing the news from his Crewmates, he felt a headache coming on.
"Wouldn't it be nice to have a good rest for two days? The War just ended not long ago."
Newgate threw away the Wine Bottle in his hand, complaining slightly.
To many Pirates, Garp was undoubtedly a Madman, a Battle Madman, who would never stop once he got excited.
Wouldn't it be better to have a casual spar?
"If you want to come, then come. Go to the usual spot."
This was a Deserted Island near the Base, which often served as a foothold for the Rocks Pirates and the Allied Forces' Great Battles.
Seeing the direction the Pirate Ship leaving the Island was heading, Garp's side understood Newgate's meaning.
On the Deserted Island, Newgate and Garp met.
Besides the two of them, the Marine Warship and the Pirate Ship were anchored on opposite sides of the Island.
Since only Garp from the Marines had come, these Pirates were happy not to have to fight and just watch the show.
Neither of them said a word.
Both holding the resolve to kill the other, the two figures clashed in an instant.
Black and red lightning intertwined and appeared, the ground trembled, and an invisible force stirred up a terrifying air blast that continuously spread outwards.
The fluctuations were almost sky-high, instantly dispersing the clouds gathered in the sky, leaving it clear.
The enraged Garp did not conceal his Conqueror's Haki, and Newgate was not afraid of Battle.
In the entire Rocks Pirates, except for the Captain Rocks, he was not afraid of anyone.
The clash of Conqueror's Haki caused shattered rocks to scatter.
A Great Battle was imminent.
A clash of Strength against Strength.
The terrifying Shockwave easily carved a gouge in the ground.
Garp had no intention of dodging; he faced the difficulty head-on, directly confronting this Destructive Power.
His Haki, pushed to the extreme, gathered in his fists.
His unstoppable momentum made Newgate feel a bit surprised.
"Did this guy take the wrong medicine? Why is he so crazy?"
Unparalleled Monstrous Strength, coupled with the Power of Tremors from the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, allowed Newgate to briefly repel Garp.
This did not cause Garp too severe an Injury.
His inhuman Monster Physique and powerful Haki were enough for Garp to withstand the Destructive Power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
At least for a short time, there would be no problem.
Garp's Strength was powerful, and Newgate's Combat Power was also not bad.
Hades's appearance, in a sense, made Newgate stronger compared to his original self at the same time.
Coupled with the Battles of the past two years, having experienced countless Battles, it could be said that he had no weaknesses.
He had gained a lot of experience, perfected his own combat system, and Fighting Style.
Except for Hades, who had reached the extreme in Technique Style, he had absolute confidence that he could handle any opponent.
When he teamed up with Hades to deal with Fleet Admiral Black back then, Hades's performance was still vivid in Newgate's memory.
That kind of Reflexes, that kind of Fighting Style, was truly terrifying.
As Hades improved in all aspects, he would only become more unstoppable.
Newgate had watched Hades's Growth and knew clearly how astonishing Hades's Growth Rate was.
The current Hades would only be more terrifying.
And Hades had another big Advantage compared to him, which was that his Body was still in a rapid growth phase.
During this period, as long as his Body developed and grew, his Strength would improve in all aspects.
Hades's Fighting Style was definitely an anomaly on The Great Sea.
Just his extreme Control over Haki could affect the exertion of his Strength.
Crack!
A breaking sound rang out.
Newgate didn't say much, his fist covered with a White Aura met Garp's.
Two real men clashed head-on here!
They clashed with each other, seizing the opportunity to land a punch.
Garp leaped high, his upper body clothes already tattered, revealing his sturdy Physique.
Haki surrounded his entire Body, and under the invisible Aura, his short hair fluttered upwards like flames.
His pitch-black and domineering Iron Fist smashed into Newgate's face.
Newgate didn't dodge either, gritting his teeth and enduring it head-on.
With a backhand, he unleashed a Tremor Punch.
The Power of Tremors constantly spread within his Body.
Blood spilled from Garp's mouth, but his Body was like someone unharmed as he smashed towards Newgate.
Garp's heavy punches were very powerful.
Each punch could make Newgate feel intense pain.
That familiar Destructive Power was the Armament Haki Internal Destruction Technique.
This Battle fought from day until dusk.
From night, it fought until noon the next day.
Fighting until the end, Garp, covered in blood, still stood relying on his powerful Willpower.
His dense Fighting Spirit and Killing Intent stood like a "Demon".
Newgate had also reached his limit.
The Battle ended like this.
Newgate returned to the Pirate Ship with heavy steps.
He easily crushed several Pirates who, taking advantage of his severe Injury, wanted to take his head.
He returned to the Base on the Pirate Ship.
In the Rocks Pirates, killing is the norm, and subordinates overthrowing superiors is a tradition, but not everyone can do it.
Newgate, being alone, easily became a target for others.
The Underground Black Market had Bounties on various important members of the Rocks Pirates.
But an injured Tiger is ultimately not something Ants can contend with.
Garp returned to the Marine Warship, simply bandaged up, collapsed onto the Deck, and fell into a deep sleep.
"Doesn't Rear Admiral Garp need Healing? Should we move his position?" A Marine Soldier looking at Garp sleeping on the Deck suggested to the Adjutant.
"Forget it, no need," the Adjutant shook his head and smiled.
"When he wakes up, his injuries will have mostly recovered. Moving him now will only disturb his rest."
"Better prepare more Food. The Rear Admiral will definitely eat a big meal after he wakes up."
"Let's sail back now. This Sea Area is still a bit dangerous."
