553: Garp’s Defeat

Bullet had almost reached his limit. Although he was very unconvinced, he still retreated. He found a path to grow stronger, so he needed to rest and reflect for now.

The panting Garp didn't have any fear on his face when he saw Basire coming, but Vice Admiral Tsuru and Gion showed worried expressions.

"Garp, let's go for the strongest last move. Let me see how powerful is the man who chased the pirate king."

Basire stood in front of Garp surrounded by black and red lightning, and his right fist was also completely black.

This is a pure Haki competition, without any Devil Fruit abilities mixed in.

"Bwahaha, it is a veteran's honor to be able to compare moves with you, the master of the New World."

"If I were a few decades younger, I would really want to punch you!"

Garp laughed loudly with an heroic look on his face. He threw away his damaged cloak of justice, and a powerful conqueror's aura erupted from his body, and his black fist was also surrounded by lightning.

"Three Overlords from the same family, the genes of your Monkey family are really strong, even among the D clan!"

After Basire finished speaking, he suddenly rushed towards Garp running through the ice. Wherever the terrifying aura touched, the ice surface cracked.

Garp's pupils suddenly shrank, and he gritted his teeth and charged towards Basire as fast as he could.

Basire's black conqueror's haki and Garp's red conqueror's haki collided with a crash, and their black fists met in the air, erupting with an earth-shattering and terrifying momentum.

The entire glacier shook violently like a magnitude 10 earthquake. The ice surface was plowed by terrifying shock waves. Circles of shock waves centered on the two people swept across the entire glacier.

Countless ice cubes vibrated and floated up, then were annihilated into ice slag.

"Awesome!! This old man is as strong as Kaido!"

Yamato shouted excitedly. They were all shaken thousands of meters away by the terrifying air wave, and the thousands of meters of glacier centered on the two of them were shaken into pieces.

"Mr. Garp is the Marines' hero. He even beat up Kaido back then!"

Kujaku immediately shouted to Yamato, the daughter of Kaido, while also cheering for Garp in her heart.

If Garp can defeat Basire, then they might be able to escape with her grandma Tsuru and the others.

But this hope is very slim.

Not to mention that Mr. Garp has already had a fight with the demon Bullet. Even Garp in his prime might not necessarily be Basire's opponent.

After all, Basire didn't even use any of his four devil fruits, and his conqueror's haki alone was already the pinnacle of pirates.

After Basire and Garp collided in the air, they then had a head-on collision with their Iron Fists.

Countless black and red lightning erupted when the two fists collided, accompanied by a large number of sparks flying out, as if the two armed iron fists were real steel.

The two were pushing crazily, with the black and the red conqueror hakis colliding and pulling back and forth, but in just ten seconds, the black conqueror's haki completely suppressed the red one, becoming twice as big as it was before.

"Garp! Do you know how big my target is?! You can't beat me!!"

Basire gritted his teeth, his eyes were extremely firm, veins popped up on his hands, and his arms swelled. The scarlet scales tattoo on his arms seemed to be alive and full of power.

"I have been protecting this world!!"

Garp also gritted his teeth, a wisp of blood started leaking from his nostrils, and the blood at the corner of his mouth became more vivid, but he couldn't give up.

"You're on the wrong path, you don't have the courage to overthrow the world like Dragon!"

"So you, as a Marine veteran, will never understand how big our hearts are and how angry Dragon and I are!"

"Ah!!"

Basire roared angrily, and with the power that exploded all over his body, he punched the white-haired Marine hero back!

"Since you are old, just get out of the way and stand by and watch the historical torrent move forward!!"

Basire shouted and turned into a dragon to fly into the air, entrenching himself on the black flame cloud.

And Garp had been sent like a cannonball into the sea. The glaciers within a few kilometers of the two of them had collapsed, and there was no place to stand.

"Mr. Garp!!"

Kujaku and Grus shouted with all their strength, while Tsuru and Gion also looked worriedly in the direction of the huge waves.

Kuzan sent an ice road directly to the huge wave.

The salvage team of the Big Daddy Pirates are ready to salvage this Marine hero at any time.

But Garp is still Garp. He floated out of the sea, climbed onto the ice road with a pale face, and then lay on his back on the ice, gasping for air.

"Mr. Garp, I'm sorry, but you are captured!"

Kuzan, who was wearing small sunglasses, walked up to Garp step by step, knelt down and smiled lightly before speaking seriously.

"Bwahaha, Kuzan, it seems you have found your own justice!"

Garp still didn't feel any sense of defeat and even laughed loudly.

"Yes, I am very determined this time and will not hesitate any more."

Kuzan said seriously, and then a terrifying ice energy covered Garp, freezing his teacher into a huge ice block.

He directly picked up the big ice block and walked back to the air fleet step by step.

With the defeat of Garp the Fist, this time all members of the Sword team were either captured or persuaded to surrender.

After briefly cleaning the battlefield, everyone returned to Hachinosu under the leadership of Basire.

Bullet and Basire both learned the true meaning of 'Iron Fist' and began to strengthen themselves in this direction to become stronger.

···

The next day, news spread around the world that the Marine hero Garp the Fist and former Fleet Admiral Sengoku were defeated and captured by the Big Daddy Pirates.

This once again severely damaged the prestige of the Marines, and the enthusiasm for the second world recruitment was severely damaged.

…

In the prison of Hachinosu, the good friends Garp and Sengoku reunited again.

Tsuru also started her own campaign to persuade people to surrender, but the effect was not very good and there was no progress.

Basire was not in a hurry. Anyway, they had weakened the Marines' power. As one went, the Big Daddy Pirates became stronger.

On the other side, Bartholomew Kuma officially announced his identity as a member of the Revolutionary Army to the world. He also led the Revolutionary Army back to the Kingdom of Sorbet, openly leading the South Blue top power to break away from the World Government and become a revolutionary country.

The Revolutionary Army also openly burned the World Government's flag, officially declaring war on them.

This made the World Government furious. Elder Saint Peter even personally led the Knights of God and CP agents to South Blue to encircle the Revolutionary Army.

The war between the two sides was about to break out. The leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, showed his power to the world for the first time. He was not afraid of the Five Elders and could even suppress Saint Peter in a head-on confrontation.
