Chapter 232: Relentless Entanglement (part 1)
“Thunder — Eight Trigrams!”
Clang!
The crimson Dragon Tail fiercely whipped across Garp’s back!
Rip~
The snow-white suit instantly tore apart, and the shirt underneath was also ripped open with a huge gash.
Lightning mixed with Haki tried to surge directly into Garp’s body along Aoxi’s tail, but at the last moment, it was blocked by his overwhelming Armament Haki.
However, even so, this tail whip made Garp draw in a sharp breath.
“Hiss— it hurts hurts hurts hurts!”
“It hurts so much, it hurts so much!”
“This is that kid Kaido’s move, you brat indeed…”
The muscles on his back instinctively tensed, and Garp’s whole body involuntarily leaned back slightly.
『Good opportunity!』*2
Sensing the pressure in front of her fist suddenly lessen, Obei didn’t hesitate at all and directly pushed back.
A tremendous force erupted abruptly from her small body, making Garp mistakenly think he was facing not an underage child but an Ancient Giant.
“Hmph!”
However, even if it really was one of those extinct Ancient Giants, Garp believed he could still win.
With a hard grunt, he instantly reacted and tried to adjust his posture and exert force again to suppress Obei.
This time, Garp planned to swiftly deal with Obei first and then turn back to handle Aoxi who had ambushed him earlier.
In a one-against-two situation, having no fixed goal and being pulled by both sides is extremely foolish, so the battle-hardened Garp immediately made the most correct decision after dropping his underestimation.
Compared to the more agile and versatile Aoxi, dealing with the blue-haired brat in front of him who clearly favored power type was the best choice.
“Fist Bone Impact · Two…”
Smack~
Just as Garp started to exert force, a familiar tail suddenly wrapped around his neck, then yanked him toward the sky!
“Haha! Eighteen Styles of the Tail · The Eighth — Burst Pulp Throat Lock!”
Seeing that the opponent had no intention of turning back to counterattack after the whip, Aoxi went for a second strike. Her tough tail quickly wrapped around his neck a few times and then suddenly tightened!
“Urgh…!”
Garp’s breathing abruptly stopped, and his exertion froze… but it wasn’t over!
Whoosh!
Behind Aoxi, that pair of gorgeous Wings now had crimson light flowing on their surface, with surging Divine Power rushing through internally.
“Eighteen Styles of the Tail · The Fourth — Flying Dragon in the Sky!!”
Boom!
Her small body erupted with horsepower no less than an aircraft engine. Even with Garp’s stable lower body like a mountain, he was nearly toppled by this sudden immense force.
“Hah!”
The ship is delayed again by headwinds!
Just as Garp planned to use his other hand to pull off the tail around his neck, Obei in front of him exerted force for the third time!
“Storm Propulsion!”
The indigo Wings also erupted with blinding light. As Divine Power sprayed out, a storm that swept everything formed behind Obei, providing her once again with unstoppable propulsion.
How many more abilities are you brats hiding?
At this moment, Garp was like the small slider on a high school physics exam paper, being pushed and pulled forward and backward by one red and one blue force!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—
The sound of shoe heels scraping the ground gradually weakened, and Garp’s sturdy body finally left the ground bit by bit.
And at the instant he was fully airborne…
“Haha!!”
“Behold… Eighteen Styles of the Tail · The Third — Invincible Wind Fire Wheel!!!”
Whoosh~
Whoosh whoosh~
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Aoxi, who had pulled the opponent into the aerial battlefield, directly showcased her terrifying mobility, yanking Garp’s neck and spinning in place at high speed like a gyroscope…
Swoosh—
“Vice Admiral Garp!”*n
The Navy Soldiers watching from the side saw their officer falling into a disadvantage since the battle began, and they couldn’t help feeling anxious.
But due to Garp’s previous orders, they couldn’t intervene without permission.
“Deputy Officer Bogard, we…”
“No need to worry, Mister Garp will be fine.”
Bogard remained calm and composed.
As Garp’s Deputy Officer, the time he first followed Garp was untraceable, but almost every time Garp set out to sea, he brought him along.
During this period, he had faced off against those notoriously vicious Great Pirates on the sea, even clashing head-on.
Therefore, although the three in front of him were fighting with great momentum, in his eyes, Garp was far from getting serious yet—he was just facing two children with a slightly serious posture.
And although Aoxi and Obei coordinated seamlessly with fierce attacks, they still couldn’t truly injure Garp.
Smack!!!
The high-speed spinning crimson gyroscope suddenly stopped completely without any warning at a certain instant, and the thing wrapped between its tails was ruthlessly flung toward the ground.
Boom!!!
Like a meteor crashing to earth, everything at the end was destroyed.
The Red Line shook violently once again, and glass in the Holy Land dozens of kilometers away directly rattled from the quake.
“This is already the umpteenth time!”
Looking at the spilled tea on the table, one of the Gorosei angrily tapped his Cane.
“What the hell is that guy Garp doing?!”
“Hasn’t he found the culprit yet?”
“Hmph! Given that guy’s personality, he probably won’t take this seriously.”
“…”
“As expected, Navy people are unreliable. Should we deploy CP?”
“Let’s wait for Garp to return first. With such a huge commotion, even he has no reason to ignore it.”
……
“Eek!!!”
“An, another earthquake?”
“Dad, should we take the slaves and hide in the Lower Realm first?”
“I feel like the Holy Land isn’t safe at all right now.”
In an extremely luxurious Villa, a fat man wearing a transparent Bubble on his head and clothes styled like a spacesuit was riding on a skinny Girl, saying with a very fearful expression.
“You’re right, Son.”
“Let’s take all the slaves and go to the Lower Realm for a trip.”
Another even fatter man, lying on a swan velvet bed served by two scantily clad Beauties with shackles on their limbs, said.
“Perfect timing to swap out all the slaves on hand along the way. I’ve long grown tired of these guys’ faces anyway.”
“Hehe~ Good~”
“New slaves~ I’ve been wanting some new slaves too~”
Saying that, the fat man jumped off the skinny Girl’s back and casually tossed away the thick Chain in his hand that was fastened around her neck…
Clang~
The Chain hit the ground, and the Girl didn’t dare move even a bit from start to finish.
But…
Bang!
“Since we’re getting new ones soon, this one isn’t needed anymore.”
“Drag her away and throw her out~ She actually made the noble me feel the shaking. I should have tossed out this useless slave long ago.”
“Hehe~ You’re just too kind and tolerant, my Son~”
“If you treat these slaves and commoners so tolerantly, how will you uphold the dignity of our Rozward Family in the future?”
“I, I get it, Dad.”
The fat man, educated by his father for being too lenient, turned his head and ‘majestically’ instructed the CP Agents handling the Girl’s body:
“You lot, go tell the Fleet Admiral to prepare a luxury Warship and escort Navy Soldiers immediately. Father and I are heading to the Lower Realm for a trip right away.”
“Yes!”
……
“Let’s go, Aoxi.”
Looking at the sky-high smoke and dust in the distance, Obei, who had long understood the “smoke but no injury” principle, directly called out to Aoxi to leave.
After the previous fist clash, she already knew the opponent’s strength was absolutely above hers and Aoxi’s combined; he just hadn’t used his full power yet.
Leaving quickly while seizing this opportunity was the wise choice now.
