Chapter 17 Fist Bone Impact and Light Speed Kick
Chapter 17 Fist Bone Impact and Light Speed Kick
"That aura... it arrived really fast, old friend!"
boom--!!!
Before the words were even finished, a terrifying pressure rolled in from the distant sea!
It's not Conqueror's Haki, but pure, violent power!
All the survivors of Cocoyasi Village, whether they were villagers who had survived the disaster or the Straw Hat crew who had just been immersed in the joy of victory, felt as if their hearts were being squeezed tightly by an invisible giant hand! Their breathing suddenly became difficult!
"Whoa—!" Usopp was pinned to the ground by the weight.
Zoro and Sanji grunted, their muscles tensing, their knees bending slightly involuntarily as they struggled to stay upright, their eyes filled with horror!
Nami and Nojiko hugged each other, their faces as pale as paper.
Luffy also felt this heavy, mountain-like pressure.
"That voice sounds so familiar, who is it?!"
On the horizon, a massive dog-headed warship was hurtling toward them at an alarming speed!
At the bow of the ship stood an old man, as burly as a bear, wearing a naval justice cloak.
His eyes were wide open in anger, and his fists were wrapped with a terrifying, compressed aura that was visible to the naked eye.
"Roger!!!"
Like a lion's roar, it reverberated across thousands of meters of sea, making people's eardrums ache!
It's Garp! The Navy Hero, Iron Fist Garp!
"Get the hell out here!!!"
With a roar that shattered the sky, Garp unleashed his massive fist, imbued with unparalleled Haki, towards the ruins of Arlong Park—swinging it out from afar!
"Fist Bone - Meteor Shower -!!!"
Boom! ...
The air is compressed to the extreme, distorted, and then explodes!
A white shockwave column with a diameter of over ten meters, like a real falling meteorite, tore through the sea surface.
It instantly unleashed a colossal wave, hurtling towards Roger and Luffy's crew amidst the ruins with a destructive force!
Wherever it passed, the seawater was pushed aside, forming deep, bottomless trenches!
This punch was filled with Garp's shock and excitement at Roger's resurrection.
Its power is enough to wipe the entire Cocoa West Village off the map!
But Garp wasn't worried about the consequences, because he knew his old friend could handle it.
"grandfather?!"
Luffy's pupils shrank as he recognized the familiar figure, but the killing intent of that punch sent chills down his spine!
The howling wind blew the straw hat off its head.
Grandpa was so scary...
"Wow! This guy's gotten quite a bit older, but he still has such a temper!"
Roger's eyes flashed with an astonishing fighting spirit. He stepped forward, his right hand blocking the straw hat that was flying towards him.
He stood in front of Luffy, placing Luffy's straw hat on his head, covering most of his face.
"Kid, keep an eye on your hat. I wore it for a long time back in the day, so don't lose it."
Clang—!
A clear and melodious sword cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
Roger drew his sword!
It was a scimitar with an ancient design, a long and narrow blade, and a restrained, cold gleam!
The moment the blade was drawn, its ferocious and domineering aura briefly surpassed that of Garp.
Roger's red vest fluttered even without wind, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
"Kid! Watch closely! How do you deal with an old geezer like your grandpa..."
Roger grinned wildly as he faced the devastating impact of the fist and bone.
Instead of retreating, he advanced, taking a step forward.
"We'll have to use moves that even the gods have to avoid!"
"God avoid it—!!!"
Roger gripped the sword with both hands, spun around, and swung it down!
There were no fancy light effects, only a simple, unadorned, yet incredibly fast, crimson-black slashing blade bursting forth.
This slash, as thin as a hair, embodies Roger's lifelong swordsmanship essence and the will of a tyrant!
It silently sliced through the air, the sea, and even the oppressive feeling of the "meteorite".
Om-! ! !
The pitch-black slash collided violently with the white shockwave pillar!
Instantly, a violent shockwave erupted.
To everyone's astonishment, the shockwave from the meteorite was actually struck from the very center by the pitch-black slash.
Like a hot knife slicing butter, it cuts in two!
The violent energy was forcibly deflected, grazing the people of Cocoyasi Village, and slammed into the sea behind them!
Usopp looked behind him as if he had survived a close call.
"Phew...it's over..."
Boom! Boom! !!
As soon as he finished speaking, the two shockwaves that had been split apart went out of control and exploded into two towering columns of water on the distant sea!
Huge waves!
Roger maintained his forward-swinging stance, the tip of the blade pointing diagonally towards the ground.
A broad smile played on his lips: "Phew... old friend, your fists are still as hard as ever!"
Garp stood at the bow of the ship, his pupils slightly constricted.
He watched as his prized "Meteorite" was forcibly cleaved in two by the opponent's "Divine Evasion" strike.
The excitement in his eyes burned even brighter!
It really was you! There's no mistake, you really came back to life!
"Roger!!!"
Shouts erupted, and the two faced off across the distance!
The violent Conqueror's Haki collided and rubbed violently in the void, emitting a crackling sound of electricity!
The entire village of Cocoa West was suffocated by the confrontation between these two supreme forces!
Just when this fateful duel was at its most critical moment, with the forces locked in a stalemate!
A sudden change has occurred!
Behind Roger, in that seemingly empty spot, a golden light quietly shone like a firefly!
next second!
The golden light instantly expanded and formed a human shape.
Kizaru's figure appeared out of thin air like a ghost!
His face still wore that lazy expression, but the raised right foot indicated that this time he was serious.
This kick was aimed directly at Roger's unsuspecting back!
The speed was beyond reason!
"Lord Pirate King, nice to meet you~" Kizaru's leisurely voice rang out.
"I'm so sorry to interrupt your reminiscing~"
"However, the Marshal's order is... please be 'quiet'. Lightning-fast kick!"
Golden light mixed with Armament Haki condensed on his feet, and he ruthlessly stabbed towards Roger!
The timing was tricky, and the angle was fatal!
At this moment, Roger's old strength had just been depleted and his new strength had not yet been generated, and he was locked in a stalemate with Garp.
It seems they really didn't react to the sudden sneak attack.
Because of its incredible speed, Zoro and Sanji couldn't catch a glimpse of Kizaru at all.
Luffy sensed the danger, but there wasn't enough time to warn him; he could only stare in terror.
Roger felt the chilling killing intent behind him. He twisted his body sharply, his blade flashing as he tried to block.
But Kizaru's sneak attack was too fast and too deadly! In such a hasty situation…
In the blink of an eye!
Om-!
An invisible barrier, both gentle and incredibly strong, appeared behind Roger without warning, blocking Kizaru's deadly light-speed kick!
clang--!!!!
A resounding clang, like the clanging of a great bell, echoed through the sky!
The holy light barrier fluctuated violently, with countless ripples spreading across its surface, forcefully blocking the kick that was powerful enough to pierce through the island!
Golden sparks and white feathers scattered and flew everywhere, like a rain shower.
Kizaru's lazy expression vanished instantly, replaced by a genuine look of surprise: "Oh?"
Above and to Roger's side, the air rippled like water.
Countless feathers, shimmering with platinum light, fluttered out from the void and quickly converged!
With a flash of light, Dilt's figure emerged amidst swirling feathers, his six wings outstretched, one hand outstretched to maintain the barrier.
His golden pupils, tinged with a hint of mockery, looked at Kizaru:
"Young man, it's not a righteous act to ambush an 'old man' who has just been summoned and hasn't even had a sip of tea yet."
He flicked his finger, and the barrier of holy light trembled violently, sending Kizaru flying and kicking up clouds of dust.
Dilt arrived instantly using his Devil Fruit ability, "Heaven's Gate - Void Teleportation"!
