SIX PATH SAGE OF THE ROCKS PIRATES

The reason Kaito's power can surpass Garp's is tied to his unique connection to the Sage Body. This ability stems from the full inheritance of the Sage of Six Paths' immense physical strength, making Kaito a force to be reckoned with. His power has now reached a mid-level comparable to the monstrous feats seen in the world of Naruto. In terms of raw physical prowess, Kaito's abilities rival the likes of Hashirama Senju or Naruto Uzumaki in their prime.

Meanwhile, Garp, who specializes in pure physicality and Haki in the One Piece world, finds himself unable to completely overpower Kaito. This clash of immense power pushes both fighters to their limits.

After being pushed back in their initial exchange, Garp steadies himself and laughs heartily. "Hahaha… I underestimated you! Your strength is incredible!"

The more Kaito displays his overwhelming power, the more Garp feels his battle spirit ignite. Garp, known for his excitement in challenging fights—like his legendary battles with Gol D. Roger—is thrilled to be facing such a powerful opponent.

Garp momentarily forgets Sengoku's previous warnings to avoid prolonged combat. Kaito, calm and composed, wields his dual blades and launches another fierce attack. Garp, ever fearless, meets the assault head-on with his Haki-infused fists.

"Clang!" The clash of Garp's fist and Kaito's blade reverberates like a thunderous bell. Garp, in his relentless offensive, aims another punch at Kaito, who meets the attack with a counterpunch using his free arm.

"Bang!" The impact sends shockwaves rippling through the battlefield, raising clouds of smoke and dust while scattering rocks in all directions. The ground around them cracks and crumbles under the sheer force of their battle.

The two exchange blow after blow in an intense, fast-paced duel. Garp wraps his fists in thick Armament Haki, launching a barrage of attacks like a machine gun. Kaito skillfully counters, using both of his blades to deflect and nullify the flurry of strikes. Their ferocious exchange leaves the terrain around them heavily damaged, with deep craters and shattered debris.

In the heat of battle, Garp pauses to shout, "Kaito, join us Marines! With your strength, you could change the tide of justice!"

But Kaito scoffs at the offer. "You fool!" he replies. "Do you think I'd serve as a lapdog for the Celestial Dragons?"

Kaito's disdain for the Marines stems from his perspective as an outsider who values freedom. In contrast, joining the Rocks Pirates—despite their chaotic nature—offers him personal benefits, including access to treasure and training under Captain Rocks D. Xebec himself. The Rocks Pirates also increase Kaito's chances of acquiring powerful Devil Fruits, a goal far more appealing than the constraints of the Marine hierarchy.

Considering many aspects, joining the Rocks Pirates is no better than being a so-called Marine. Both paths, in their own way, are bound by chains of ambition and corruption.

"What a pity, Kaito. If you refuse, then fall under my fist!" Garp sneered, his stance firm, fists trembling with latent power.

The New World was filled with countless strong pirates, each claiming dominion over their territories. Yet, despite their strength, the Marines held the reins of authority, always positioning themselves as the ultimate enforcers of the seas.

In Garp's eyes, no matter how powerful a pirate became, their fate was inevitable—persecution, ruin, and a lonely death at the hands of justice. However, looking at Kaito, younger than himself but already possessing monstrous strength, Garp felt a pang of regret. A future wasted on piracy seemed tragic.

"If you think you can stop me, Garp, then try!" Kaito retorted, his voice calm but defiant.

What a joke. Kaito wasn't just some rookie pirate. With his systematic growth, his potential was boundless. Given time, Kaito was confident he could surpass not just Garp but anyone in this world!

With a thunderous roar, Kaito surged forward, the veins in his arm bulging as he channeled immense strength into his blade. The clash rang out across the battlefield as Garp was sent hurtling back, crashing into the earth with a deafening thud.

But Kaito wasn't done. A smirk tugged at his lips as he raised his hand, summoning a spiraling orb of immense energy.

"Big Ball Rasengan!" Kaito declared, the rotating sphere in his hand glowing brighter by the second.

The energy coiled and expanded, a chaotic storm of chakra radiating from its core. Though Rasengan belonged to another world—the ninja world of Naruto Uzumaki—Kaito had unlocked powers far beyond his own world. The Nine Tails' chakra, once thought bound to the world of shinobi, coursed through Kaito's veins, amplifying the technique to devastating levels. The very air around the Rasengan seemed to warp under its power, the ground beneath Kaito's feet cracking and splitting.

Marines in the distance were paralyzed with fear, the overwhelming pressure pressing down on their chests.

"Is… is this the power of a Devil Fruit?!" one Marine stammered.

"No! This is something else entirely! What kind of monster are we facing?!"

"Run! If this thing hits, we're dead!" another shouted.

"Colonel Garp! Get out of there! This guy is on a whole other level!" they cried.

Despite their warnings, Garp remained steadfast. He grinned, his face showing no sign of retreat. "A Marine running from a pirate? Not my style!"

Garp's body began to shine as he coated himself in Armament Haki, a heavy, obsidian sheen spreading across his body. He clenched his fists tightly, preparing for the collision.

"Come on, Kaito!" Garp roared, charging straight at the Big Ball Rasengan without hesitation.

Kaito couldn't help but shake his head. "What a stubborn fool." He sighed, raising the swirling sphere high into the air.
