Chapter 73 Thunder Hand Garp VS Gol D. Roger!
The golden Buddha ascended into the sky on a moonlit path, its dazzling light scattering across the night.
"Buddha Impact!!"
Its body flipped upside down, and its enormous form, comparable to a pirate ship, crashed down from the sky.
"Rayleigh, Jabba!!"
Roger, who was confronting Garp, looked solemn.
"We absolutely cannot let Sengoku get near the Oro Jackson!"
"The entire Roger Pirates are preparing for battle! This is a truly momentous crisis!!!"
A figure leaped from the dog-headed warship, cutting through the waves, and unleashed a fierce slash towards the Oro Jackson!
"Bogart, it's been a long time."
"An eighty-year-old warlord!"
Boom boom boom--!!
The seawater splashed everywhere, but was blasted away by thunder and Buddha's light.
Jabba stared at the naval swordsman before his axe and grinned maliciously:
"We didn't even settle the score last time, so you can stay here this time."
Bogart raised his head slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes beneath his cowboy hat.
"Vice Admiral Garp will not lose! The justice of our Navy will surely pierce the darkness of this era!"
"Stop joking, Navy!!"
As if enraged by Bogart's words, Jabba shook his double axes, forcing back the enemy before roaring:
"Your navy can never end this era, because you yourselves are part of the darkness!"
"Only our Roger Pirates, only Roger, was the man who changed everything!!!"
"If Roger hadn't chosen to team up with Garp nine years ago, Rocks would already be the King of the World!"
"If that kind of future were to occur, it would be questionable whether your navy could even exist now."
"The past is the past, and the future is the future."
As Garp's adjutant, Bogart was one of the few people who knew Bazel's identity.
"Our navy's righteous and decisive strike will surely shatter the darkness and bring dawn to this sea!"
"Then you should give it a try, as long as you see the sun rise tomorrow!!"
The two transformed into balls of light and charged toward each other, causing the Oro Jackson to sway violently in the waves generated by the violent collision.
"Roger!!"
Rayleigh, standing alone to shield Sengoku from the rain, wiped the rain from his face, his expression anxious:
"If we can't fight here, the Oro Jackson won't hold out!"
"At least find some land—"
"To think you can fight me with such leisure, it seems I have been underestimated."
With his right palm wrapped in Conqueror's Haki and imbued with Buddhist light, he struck the sword blade that Lei used to block.
"Rayleigh!"
Bucky and Shanks, who were hiding in the shadows, watched anxiously as Rayleigh crashed through the ship's side and fell into the sea.
"Bucky, we can't stay here any longer, that navy warship is approaching!"
"While they're fighting, let's go lower the sails!"
Shanks stared at the suddenly swift current ahead, his eyes showing anxiety, but not the panic of Bucky.
"We're almost at Upside Down Mountain, now we have to take a gamble!"
"Upside-down Mountain is a winter island. When the ocean current hits the mountain, it sinks from the surface to the deep sea, which is the seabed."
"If we can ride the special upward-moving current, we'll have a great chance to shake off the enemy and rush into the Grand Line!!"
"Let's go, Shanks!!"
The two little ones nodded vigorously to each other, then crouched down and backed away, rushing towards the half-open mast.
"This is the most crucial moment; the Roger Pirates absolutely cannot stop here!"
"Roger, the kids on your ship are pretty impressive."
Out of the corner of his eye, Garp glanced at Bucky and Shanks, who were trying to raise their sails not far away, and grinned:
"They actually thought of using the ocean currents of Reverse Mountain to get rid of our navy's attack, but my Rumble-Rumble Fruit isn't for nothing."
"Don't even think about it."
Roger's eyes flashed red, and he shattered the dazzling lightning with a single strike.
But after the lightning, there was Garp's triumphant smile.
"Roger, do you think I'm the kind of navy officer who would attack a brat?"
Roger's expression changed slightly, but it was too late to change his tactics.
"Feel the baptism of thunder!"
Instantly transforming into an elemental form, Garp unleashed several punches towards the sky.
"Fist Bone Meteor Shower!"
"This is--?!"
Roger suddenly looked up at the sky, a few drops of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
"Hahaha~~~"
Garp covered his face and laughed.
"That was a great move, wasn't it? The Oro Jackson is a great ship. Brother Kong even suspects that your ship has awakened a ship spirit."
"But this time you won't escape!!"
Rumble--
A dull thud of thunder suddenly rang out.
Standing several meters away from Garp, Roger's expression changed, and he grinned, saying:
"Since that's the case, then let's put ourselves in a do-or-die situation and try to survive."
"Buggy, Shanks!!"
"Captain Roger?!"
The two little ones, who were hiding on the observation deck, peeked out.
"Get behind the wheel! Let's charge into the Calm Belt! The noise we make will surely attract super sea kings. Let nature decide the fate of the Roger Pirates!!"
Garp was stunned when he heard this.
"Mun!"
Mun Isaac Jr. drew his sword, ready for battle: "Roger?"
"Lead some men to clear a path for Bucky and Shanks," Roger said, his smile unwavering as he looked at the naval warship that had arrived beside the USS Oro Jackson. "Now it's time to decide our fate!"
"They were both members of the Roger Pirates, so let's leave the direction of the Wind of Destiny to them!"
"I see!"
Mun Isaac Jr. first brandished his sword, unleashing several flying slashes to stop the naval soldiers from boarding.
Then he raised his arms and shouted.
"Pitam, Spencer, cover Shanks and Bucky!!"
Boom!
As the first fist-shaped bolt of lightning shattered the clouds like a meteor, the second, the third—
The entire sky above the Oro Jackson was obscured by lightning.
Roger looked up at the sky and unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.
"Garp, if I die here, it means this ocean isn't waiting for me!"
"But if I survive today—"
Roger looked at Garp, his eyes gleaming with heroic fighting spirit.
"That means the man this vast ocean is waiting for is me!!!"
"The person waiting for this vast ocean is definitely not you, Roger."
Garp lifted his foot and walked towards Roger.
At this moment, the Oro Jackson seemed to have its own consciousness. With the help of the strong wind and the control of Bucky and Shanks, it frantically maneuvered, dodging the falling thunderous meteors time and time again.
He lightly stepped on the side of the boat with his right foot once again.
shave!
With the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's extreme speed combined with his already formidable physical abilities, Garp's speed at this moment has completely exceeded the limits that can be observed by the naked eye.
But Roger remained completely unfazed.
Like Rayleigh, he was a warrior who had fought his way through countless battles.
He naturally couldn't lack something as mysterious and elusive as combat instinct.
The famous sword Ace suddenly slashed forward.
Without pausing after shattering a bolt of lightning, he changed his grip from overhand to underhand, and thrust the blade through his armpit toward his back!
A fist radiating domineering power emerged from the falling lightning.
The lightning dissipated after colliding with the blade tip.
Roger lowered his head, his eyes darting around in their sockets, and with the red light of his Observation Haki, the sword in his hand suddenly turned black.
"cut!"
A spray of blood erupted from the empty air, and the next second, a fist slammed into Roger's cheek with a shattering sound.
He stumbled backward, his left hand bracing against the ground as he pushed off, while his powerful right leg kicked out again at the flashing lightning.
puff~
Passing through the lightning, a slight numbing sensation spread throughout my body, but it was instantly dispelled by the domineering aura.
"Gods, beware!!!"
"Fist Bone - Thunderous Impact!"
boom--!!!!
The Oro Jackson sank several meters into the air, and the waves whipped up a giant wolf hundreds of meters high.
Fist and sword collided in mid-air, and the constantly compressing shockwaves between them shot out black and red lightning!
"Roger!!"
"Garp!"
Roger and Garp looked at each other, their eyes filled not only with the spirit of battle, but also with enjoyment, recognition, and satisfaction.
"Go to hell!!!" *2
Not far away, the golden Buddha, an embodiment of the Warring States period, is "rooted" at the bow of the ship.
As he squatted down in a horse stance, a violent wave of energy surged as his large hands opened and closed.
"It's no use, you can't break through my fluctuation range."
Sengoku unleashed another Great Buddha Impact to repel Rayleigh, expanding his Observation Haki as the tangled battle unfolded before his eyes.
"I see, so you're planning to rush into the Calm Belt?"
"But have you forgotten that our navy's warships also have the ability to sail in calm zones?"
"Although it's not thanks to the ship's spirit, but—!?"
Suddenly!
Sengoku turned his head in disbelief to look at the warship and shouted, "Fire!!!"
Behind the fiercely fighting crowd, a short, stout man wearing a D'Artagnan hat roared:
"I'm Pitam, the gunner of the Roger Pirates! Garp, Sengoku, you can't stop the Roger Pirates from setting sail!!"
"Watch me sink your warships!"
"And me, Sambel!!"
Suddenly, a huge fish-man wielding a trident leaped out of the sea.
Sambell arrived beneath the warship, unleashing a weapon wreathed in Haki at its hull with a powerful strike: "Fishman Jujutsu - Ultimate Technique!"
"Tides of Madness: Crazy Ocean Currents!!!"
boom--!!
The main comb collapsed at great risk, and seawater was gushing into the bottom of the warship, which had been blasted with a large hole.
Fishman Sambelle raises his weapon:
"Shanks, Buggy, the rest are yours!"
Shanks and Bucky gripped the rudder together and spun it hard.
"Ooh ooh ooh---!"
"Charge, Roger Pirates!!!"
