Chapter 125.2: The Battle Concludes, the Hyuga Clan Acquires the Method for Mastering Haki!

In an instant.

Big Mom's body was sent flying, crashing into the protective barrier before falling down.

At this moment.

Big Mom was gravely injured, coughing up blood continuously.

She made strange sounds, trying to influence Honghong, but it had no effect.

From then on, Big Mom was repeatedly beaten by Honghong, eventually driving her into a frenzy. But it was futile, as she continued to get battered.

In the end, Big Mom, severely wounded and on the brink of death, lay on the ground motionless.

Of course, Honghong did not kill her, waiting instead for the final judgment.

"[Fox Spirit Honghong wins, Conqueror's Haki is stripped from Big Mom and bestowed upon Fox Spirit Honghong!]"

Buzz!!!

Big Mom's Conqueror's Haki was stripped away and turned into a beam of light, merging into Honghong.

Immediately after, both Big Mom and Honghong were teleported away.

Big Mom's defeat left the people of the Pirate World in a daze. Another Emperor had fallen, and in such a miserable manner.

Today could only be described as a day of shame for the Pirate World, especially since everyone had witnessed it.

The twelfth battle was over, and next came the thirteenth and final one.

The thirteenth person from the Pirate World took the stage.

Iron Fist Garp.

"[Garp, also known as Iron Fist, is proficient in Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and the Navy's Six Powers. He holds the rank of Vice Admiral and is a naval hero.]"

"[Might Guy: Hahaha, a Vice Admiral? He must be pretty weak. Let me take this one! He's supposed to be skilled in taijutsu, which suits my style perfectly!]"

"[Kakashi: Guy, you better not. Although you're strong, without opening the Eight Gates, your power is only comparable to Kage-level at best. The last opponent from this other world won't be weak. Let someone else go. Otherwise, if you're forced to open the Eight Gates, you'll waste your life energy, and that would be a huge loss!]"

"[Might Guy: You're right! I'll save my life energy.]"

"[Naruto Uzumaki: Let me go this time!]"

"[Hiashi Hyuga: Naruto, if you go and something happens, how will I explain it to Hinata?]"

"[Hinata Hyuga: Naruto-kun, whatever you decide, I'll support you!]"

"[Fourth Hokage: This Garp is a Vice Admiral. His strength should be slightly weaker than an Admiral, so Naruto should be fine. Let him go!]"

"[Hiashi Hyuga: Alright, I'll invite Naruto.]"

Soon, Hiashi Hyuga invited Naruto, who immediately accepted.

In the arena.

Naruto and Garp appeared in the arena.

"Kid, you're pretty young, about the same age as my grandson. I don't want to hurt you, so why don't you just give up?" Garp said, picking his nose.

Naruto smiled and replied, "Old man, I'm not that weak!"

At once, Naruto entered Nine-Tails Sage Mode, with the energy cloak of the Nine-Tails enveloping him, radiating terrifying power.

"Oh, you're not weak, huh? Then I won't hold back!"

Garp didn't want to lose either. After all, the Pirate World had lost too many times, and if he lost again, it would be too embarrassing.

Naruto performed Shadow Clone Jutsu, then immediately began to form a Rasengan.

"Sage Art: Giant Rasengan!"

Naruto charged at Garp with the Giant Rasengan in hand.

Meanwhile, Garp's body was covered in Armament Haki as he threw a punch toward Naruto's Rasengan.

"He's actually punching my Sage Art: Giant Rasengan?"

Naruto was surprised.

But he didn't stop.

BOOM!!!

Garp's punch smashed through the Giant Rasengan, and the momentum didn't stop, sending Naruto flying with a blow to his Nine-Tails cloak.

"[Jiraiya: What is this guy's fist made of? He shattered Naruto's Sage Art: Giant Rasengan with one punch! Naruto's in trouble; this old man feels scarier than an Admiral!]"

"[Might Guy: Good thing I didn't go. Without opening the Eight Gates, I wouldn't have lasted a single move. I'd be instantly killed!]"

"[Fourth Hokage: My son's in some trouble. This 'Vice Admiral' title is really deceptive. I thought he'd be weaker than an Admiral, but he's terrifying!]"

In the arena.

Naruto's body ached all over. Garp's punch was too powerful.

"I can't fight him up close. I need to attack from a distance!"

Immediately, Naruto launched a Sage Art: Rasenshuriken, throwing it from a distance towards Garp.

However, Garp repeatedly used his Iron Fist to shatter Naruto's techniques, as if he could break through any attack with a single punch.

"Kurama, let's use a Tailed Beast Bomb together!"

Naruto said.

"Alright!" Kurama responded.

Immediately, Naruto and the Nine-Tails joined forces, beginning to condense a Tailed Beast Bomb.

Soon, the Tailed Beast Bomb was successfully formed and hurled towards Garp.

Sensing the danger of the attack, Garp immediately gathered all of his Armament Haki and even his Conqueror's Haki into one, unleashing a full-force punch.

Boom!!!

This punch distorted space as it collided with the Tailed Beast Bomb.

In an instant, the explosive light engulfed everything around, while Naruto waited for the outcome.

Suddenly.

A figure rushed out from the explosion of the Tailed Beast Bomb. Though looking somewhat disheveled and with a few injuries, he managed to withstand it.

At this moment, Garp charged towards Naruto at an incredible speed.

Naruto quickly drew upon the Nine-Tails' power, transforming into the massive Nine-Tails Mode, and met Garp's punch with his own.

Boom!!!

The Nine-Tails' cloak was shattered, and Naruto's body was sent flying.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Naruto quickly created a large number of shadow clones, attacking Garp from all directions.

Though Garp couldn't tell which one was the real Naruto, he had his own methods.

"Conqueror's Haki!"

A terrifying wave of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Garp's body, crushing the shadow clones one by one, forcing Naruto's real body to reveal itself.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Garp and Naruto clashed repeatedly, with Garp overpowering Naruto time and again.

However, Naruto had the advantage of youth, while Garp, after all, was getting older, and his stamina began to lag.

Of course.

Naruto was also consuming a lot of energy, and his injuries were piling up, making it hard to recover in time.

Finally, during yet another clash, Naruto's chakra production couldn't keep up with his energy consumption. He had exhausted too much chakra and stamina, leaving him unable to continue fighting.

"I concede!"

Naruto admitted in frustration.

At that moment, he finally realized there was always someone stronger. Not only were Ye Tian and his allies terrifying, but even other worlds had strong opponents he couldn't handle.

He still had a long way to go to improve his strength!

With Naruto conceding, Garp also collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Sigh, getting old, my stamina just isn't what it used to be. If you had held on a bit longer, I would have lost!" Garp said with a laugh.

[Garp wins and is awarded one Resurrection Card.]

Buzz!

A card fell into Garp's hand.

"A Resurrection Card, it can revive anyone? There's such a treasure!!"

Garp was shocked.

Immediately, he stashed it away, thinking it might come in handy in the future.

As for reviving Mihawk or someone else, that didn't even cross his mind. Such a valuable item was definitely reserved for his family!

And so.

The thirteenth match concluded, the arena transported everyone away, and then it vanished completely.

[Naruto Uzumaki: Uncle, I'm sorry, I lost!]

[Hiashi Hyuga: Naruto, it's not your fault. That Garp is terrifying. Even your Nine-Tails Mode couldn't withstand him, and he even blocked a Tailed Beast Bomb with a single punch. There's no shame in losing to such a powerful opponent.]

[Tsunade: The opponent's strength was indeed frightening. Aside from Ye Tian and his summoned beasts, everyone else would likely lose to him!]

[Kakashi: The thirteenth match has ended. I wonder what kind of reward the Hyuga Clan will receive.]

[Hiashi Hyuga: We won most of the matches, so we should receive a decent reward!]

[Hidan: Whatever the reward is, I contributed to it too!]

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the reward for the Hyuga Clan was finally revealed.

Buzz!!!

A reward appeared on screen—it was a scroll.

[Haki Training Methods: Includes training methods for Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki. Note: Conqueror's Haki is a special form of Haki, and those without the qualities of a king cannot awaken it.]

Seeing this reward, the Hyuga Clan was overjoyed.

It was training for all three types of Haki! During the previous battles, they had already witnessed the terrifying power of Haki. For taijutsu users, this was a blessing. If members of the Hyuga Clan could master all three forms of Haki, how powerful would they become?
