Chapter 616: Fierce Battle
Boom~! !
Garp's dark fist surrounded by black lightning struck Akainu in the face, and Akainu's magma fist hit Garp's abdomen at the same time.
In an instant, there was a sonic boom and magma splashed everywhere.
Both of them suffered heavy blows and flew backwards at extremely high speeds.
"Uh-huh~"
Both of them spurted blood from their mouths, and their eyes darkened.
Akainu's left cheek was twisted and severely deformed, and the military uniform on Garp's abdomen was burned, revealing his swollen and red abdominal muscles that looked like cooked meat.
Their respective armament haki defenses failed to block the opponent's strongest attack.
In the first fierce collision, both suffered serious injuries.
Crack~!
Akainu reached out and pushed back his dislocated jaw, but a fierce smile appeared on his face.
"Old bastard, your iron fist seems to have lost its power!"
Akainu spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood stains under his mouth and nose were still there. He revealed his teeth full of blood and said with disdain.
"The magma you think is the strongest is just as rubbish. Just like Whitebeard said, a fire of this level is only worthy of lighting cake candles."
Garp threw aside his cloak of justice, tore off the torn clothes on his body, spat out blood, and smiled in return.
"Hmph~, soon you will be the same as Whitebeard, with a few bloody holes made by me. Maybe I will also do the world a favor and melt your stinky face."
Akainu did not abandon his cloak of justice like Garp, the shameful Marine. Instead, he straightened his collar and cloak, transforming back into a meticulous soldier.
This is his Absolute Justice!
"I will crush your dog head!"
Garp's eyes became serious, his hands became pitch black, and black lightning flashed around him.
"Old guy, when you train, you only focus on your fists. Sooner or later, you will go to hell. I have clearly seen your weaknesses. Your fists are very strong, but your defense is too weak."
Akainu continued to sneer as he watched Garp still focus Armament Haki on his fists, ignoring his body's defense.
It's good to use offense instead of defense, but when facing strong people of the same level, without defense, you will suffer a lot.
In this sea, people with a weak defense will not be able to survive if they encounter someone at the same level.
"I just need to defeat you before I fall!"
'Galaxy Impact!'
Garp continued to take the lead in launching his strongest attack again. The ring beneath his feet suddenly collapsed and his figure disappeared instantly.
Appearing above Akainu, he punched down with a fist filled with conqueror's haki, directly sinking Akainu and the entire ring.
Akainu was crushed under the huge pressure caused by the fist, turning into magma and exploding.
"Wow!!"
"Too strong!"
"Is this the strength of a Marine hero?!"
"This is the man who captured the pirate king. His name alone can make countless pirates frightened!"
"Grandpa's fists are so strong!!"
···
Countless spectators rejoiced and shouted under the ring. The injured Luffy's eyes were also gleaming. He wished that his fists were so strong, so that he could return the beatdown Sabo gave him.
"The old man is still as monstrous as ever!"
Kuzan and Dragon sighed, they had both been at the receiving end of the old man's "fist of love" when they trained under him.
Basire and his women also watched with great interest.
This is how a real fight should be like.
…
On the destroyed arena.
"Ah!!"
Akainu roared angrily and quickly restored his body that had been elementalized.
"Magma kid, it's not over yet!"
'Blue Hole!'
Garp appeared next to Akainu who had just reformed his body. His dark palm filled with Haki grabbed Akainu's face. His arm expanded, veins popped out, and he smashed Akainu's head into the ground.
Boom~!!!!
The entire barrier space was shaking violently, and the unparalleled impact blasted Akainu directly into the ground of the ring, creating a bottomless dark pit.
If it weren't for the limitation of the barrier space, it is estimated that the scope of this giant black hole would have expanded several times.
It was the barrier space that protected the audience present and also limited the violent output of Garp's destruction.
"Amazing!!"
Luffy, still with a black eye and covered in bandages, jumped and laughed while holding Sabo, as if he saw their grandfather successfully avenging Ace.
After Garp exploded with two big moves in a row, he landed on the ruins on the edge of the ring panting heavily.
At his current age of 78, it is a bit too much for him to use two full power moves in a row, which has consumed a lot of his conqueror and armament haki.
"Did Sakazuki lose?"
"No, no, no, this is the former Fleet Admiral, Akainu who was once known as the strongest Marine Admiral!"
The excited audience continued to cheer, but strong men like Shanks and Dragon started frowning.
They knew there was more to Akainu than just that.
"Lord Basire, did Akainu really lose?"
The pink-haired Perona and the white rabbit Carrot quickly flew to Basire's side, shook his arm back and forth and asked quickly, they didn't want this exciting battle to end so soon.
"Keep watching, Sakazuki, this stubborn hound, won't fall down so quickly."
Basire touched the two women's heads and smiled softly. In his Observation Haki, Akainu's aura was even stronger than Garp's.
Just as his words fell, the entire barrier space lit up with a dazzling orange light, and endless magma surged out of the black pit, just like the explosion of a volcano, flooding most of the barrier space in an instant.
"Garp!!"
Akainu's body appeared in the lava. The upper body that appeared was full of blood. It was very tragic, but his murderous eyes and magma fists carried unparalleled power.
'Great Eruption!'
A fist of high-temperature magma that was tens of meters in size rushed directly towards Garp.
"Still not dead."
'Galaxy Impact!'
There was some sweat on Garp's forehead, he gritted his teeth, and faced the huge magma fist with a terrifying impact from the air.
As black lightning splashed, Garp's domineering punch directly made Akainu's magma fist explode.
However, the next moment, a figure full of murderous intent rushed out from behind the exploding magma fist.
"Go to hell, old man!"
"Dark Hound!!"
A solid red-black fist struck Garp in the face at an astonishing speed.
At this moment, Dragon stood up instantly, and the onlooking Luffy and Sabo also showed frightened expressions, as if they were recalling Ace's tragedy again.
"No, Grandpa!!"
Luffy and Sabo shouted wildly and rushed towards the barrier space, while Dragon and Sengoku also clenched their fists. They all looked at Basire, who had been watching the show with interest.
