Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Garp Strikes, Fierce Battle!
Dispelling the boring thoughts in his mind, Lucifer looked at the three of Enel and said calmly, "Okay, the Red-Haired Shanks is none of our business. We will enter the New World soon, and the Red-Haired Pirates will also be one of our potential enemies by then."
"The New World is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and the strong are like clouds. With your current strength, you're still far behind. The most important thing is to strengthen your training first."
After speaking, Lucifer waved his hand and pressed down on Enel and Cavendish.
"Gravity crush!"
A burst of gravity immediately crushed Enel and Cavendish on the boat.
Suffering under the strong gravity, Enel and Cavendish seemed to be carrying mountains on their backs, and they could hardly move.
But soon, the two gritted their teeth and started doing push-ups to exercise their physical strength.
These days, Lucifer had been training them like this.
Enel and Cavendish were used to it.
Practicing in a gravity environment, their physical enhancement speed was very fast.
Because Lucifer had infused Armament Haki into the gravity field, their Haki cultivation base also improved by leaps and bounds during the training process.
"Captain Lucifer, there's a Marine warship ahead, approaching us."
Suddenly, Baby 5's voice sounded.
"Marine? How dare they come to our door?"
Lucifer smiled.
Isn't this the prey that throws itself into the net?
"Have you seen who is leading the team?"
Lucifer picked up his wine glass and asked with a chuckle.
"It's... Garp, the Marine Hero, Garp!"
Baby 5 let out an exclamation.
"Garp?"
Lucifer's face also changed slightly.
At the same time, Lucifer lifted the gravity.
Garp was no ordinary Marine.
Although he's a Marine Vice Admiral, his strength surpassed that of an Admiral.
Lucifer still remembered that in the past life, many fans said that Garp was the only one who remained strong despite age.
This old man still maintained his peak combat power!
"Who is Garp? Is he strong?"
Enel asked doubtfully.
"Very strong, of course he is strong!"
Cavendish lost his composure.
"Garp is the hero of Marine, the legendary Marine who drove the Pirate King Gol D. Roger into a corner several times in the old days."
"Marine Headquarters actually sent him. This is not a good thing."
Facing Garp, all pirates would involuntarily fear him, which had nothing to do with courage. Cavendish was no exception.
Only Enel, the ignorant one without fear, felt nothing.
The speed of the warship was very fast, and it didn't take long for the Nether to enter the opponent's range.
However, the opponent's warship did not launch an attack.
"It's strange, why didn't they open fire?"
Cavendish looked at the warship ahead with some doubts.
The Nether didn't fire because it had no cannons installed, but the opponent's warship had heavy artillery.
And what Garp liked most was throwing cannonballs with his bare hands, which was more powerful than artillery bombardment.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Lucifer saw a figure shoot out from the warship.
The figure walked in the air and quickly approached the Nether.
"You dare to charge up alone, isn't that too arrogant?"
Enel turned into lightning, soared into the sky, and flew directly towards the figure in the air.
Boom!
The moment the lightning and the figure collided, the lightning was instantly scattered.
Enel turned back into reality and fell from the sky.
"Universal Pull!"
Lucifer raised his hand to grab Enel and placed him back on the deck.
I saw that the corner of Enel's mouth was bleeding, and the left half of his cheek had been twisted.
"Really, don't be impulsive. You're still so impulsive."
Lucifer shook his head, a little speechless.
In the face of Garp, the only one who dared to rush forward, aside from Luffy, was Enel.
Whoosh!
A black shadow descended from the sky and landed on the deck.
The Marine coat fluttered in the wind. Although Garp was old, he was still full of momentum.
"Ahahahaha! The lightning kid is too arrogant. The old man punched him for a while. Lucifer kid, you don't mind, do you?"
Garp laughed calmly.
"What if I mind?"
Garp clearly wanted to get a bad start, but Lucifer would not follow his wishes.
"Enel is my crew, and I can only teach you a lesson."
"Garp, you're too arrogant!"
As soon as the words fell, Lucifer raised his hand and slapped Garp at the bow.
The air exploded, and an invisible force burst out of the air, instantly knocking Garp into the air.
Garp stepped on Moonwalk and stopped mid-air, clenching his fist, feeling numb for a moment.
"What a strong Armament Haki!"
Garp looked a little more serious.
He could feel that Lucifer hadn't used the power of the Word Spirit Fruit just now but instead used the purest Armament Haki.
Releasing Armament Haki in the air, it can hit with the same effect as a shock wave!
It was rare for Garp to practice Armament Haki to this level at such a young age.
Even without the power of the Word Spirit Fruit, Lucifer's combat power should not be underestimated.
"Lucifer, kid, you really are not simple."
"It's a pity that a genius like you has embarked on the evil path of pirates."
Garp seemed a little sorry.
"Stop talking nonsense. What are you doing here today?"
Lucifer was nonchalant.
Since the two sides were opposed, there was no need to pretend.
"Oh? I'm sorry, the old man almost forgot the business, sorry sorry."
Garp suddenly changed his face, going from a murderous Marine to a funny one.
"It's like this. The World Government wants to invite you to become a Seven Warlords of the Sea. This is an invitation letter."
As he spoke, Garp took out an invitation letter from his pocket and threw it at Lucifer.
The invitation letter spun like a dart.
Lucifer clasped the invitation letter between his fingers.
"Find me a Shichibukai?"
The corner of Lucifer's mouth revealed a sneer, but he didn't open the invitation.
"Not long ago, Marine Admiral Kizaru led troops to arrest me, and now they're recruiting me again."
"Are all Marines this capricious?"
Garp's face turned a little ugly. As expected, Lucifer didn't accept the idea of becoming a Shichibukai.
At the same time, this behavior was ridiculed by Lucifer.
Although this was the order of the World Government, Marine's position kept changing, and Marine's face was being lost.
"Speak directly, do you agree or refuse?"
Garp picked his nose, dug out a large booger, and made a gesture of indifference.
Just kidding, Garp was no match for Lucifer, and now was the most suitable posture for him.
"Of course I refuse."
Lucifer threw the invitation letter into the sea casually. "I have no interest in becoming a lackey of the World Government."
"This kind of thing is more suitable for you Marines to do."
Marine helped the evildoers and helped the Celestial Dragons oppress the common people, which caused a lot of public grievances.
Many people were saying that Marine was a running dog of the World Government.
Because of this, the Revolutionary Army was born.
Garp was speechless because he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
And the leader of the Revolutionary Army was his own son!
"If you don't agree, I don't care. On the contrary, I don't want you to become a Shichibukai."
"This is the end of the matter, the old man is leaving!"
Garp hadn't hoped for the assignment, and Lucifer's refusal was within his expectations.
"What? This is leaving?"
Lucifer twisted his neck.
"Then what else do you want? Do you want to fight the old man?"
Garp sensed Lucifer's killing intent, clenched his fist, and made a few crackling sounds.
"If you want to compete with the old man, you little brat are still a hundred years away!"
"Hmph, who is strong and who is weak is not necessarily clear."
The crew of the Nether couldn't help but look at each other.
At this point, Garp was really determined to leave.
