Chapter 419: Garp’s Reckless Move
Chapter 419: Garp's Reckless Move
"Puh!"
Katakuri was violently blasted away by a devastating strike.
"So what if your Devil Fruit is awakened? The difference between us is like heaven and earth. Kid, come back in a few years after more training!"
Barrett charged another attack, slamming it into Katakuri's mochi-world construct.
Boom!
A shockwave shattered the mochi prison instantly.
"Cough…!"
Katakuri was sent flying backward again, tumbling dozens of meters before he could stop himself. Then, blood gushed from his mouth.
Complete defeat.
He couldn't even last one exchange against Barrett.

Far off in the distance…
"This looks bad. The Big Mom Pirates are getting overwhelmed."
Garp stood with furrowed brows, observing the battlefield from afar.
"The Rockefeller commanders are far stronger. Big Mom's children just can't match them."
Aokiji walked up beside him, his chest wrapped in heavy bandages. He kept his eyes locked on the ongoing battle.
"Charlotte and Big Mom are at a stalemate. Without her help, her crew is going to lose this fight."
Indeed, though the likes of Katakuri could put up a decent fight against people like Carter and Paul, once the Rockefeller family's elites joined—especially Estes, Caesar, and Tesla—the battle turned one-sided.
With Katakuri getting crushed by Vice-Captain Douglas Barrett, Big Mom's defeat was almost sealed.

"I think it's time I step in," Garp said, loosening his navy cloak.
"Vice Admiral Garp! The Fleet Admiral ordered us not to intervene unless both sides are weakened!"
Aokiji quickly tried to stop him.
"They're right there! The ones who killed over ten thousand marines! And you want me to do nothing?"
Garp grabbed Aokiji by the collar.
"Don't bother trying to stop me. I'll take full responsibility."
With that, Garp shot forward like a cannonball.

"Galaxy Impact!"
As Barrett prepared to finish Katakuri—
A fearsome aura erupted from the sky.
Barrett looked up.
A shadow descended.
His pupils shrank.
BOOM!
The place Barrett stood was engulfed in a massive shockwave.
Everyone fell silent.
Even Charlotte and Big Mom halted their clash and turned toward the blast.
Charlotte's eyes widened.
"Garp!"
He roared.
With a roar, Charlotte knocked aside Big Mom's Napoleon blade, forcing her back a dozen meters.
Then he launched a slash at Garp, his body following closely.
Garp's punch collided with Barrett, sending a tidal shockwave that cracked the sea and flung ice everywhere.
Barrett was hurled into the ocean.
Katakuri lay bloodied and barely conscious, floating on a mochi raft he'd created with his last bit of strength.
Big Mom's eyes widened in horror.
"Garp! You dare hurt my son?!"
She shrieked and charged toward Garp atop Zeus.
CLANG!
Charlotte intercepted, his sword clashing with Garp's fist.
"Charlotte! Repent for the souls of the ten thousand marines you slaughtered!"
Garp shouted, aiming a punch at his face.
"You want a piece of me?!"
Charlotte met the blow with his own.
BOOM!
Both men were blown backward, skidding across the battlefield, only to lunge again.
"Garp!"
Big Mom's blade came crashing in.
Garp spun and countered with a Haki-infused punch.
"DIE, GARP!"
Charlotte joined, thrusting his sword forward.
CLANG!
Garp's fists blocked both their weapons, holding them at bay midair.
"You dare interfere in our battle? This is the New World! You Navy bastards are sticking your noses in too far!"
Charlotte growled, raising his sword alight with Conqueror's Haki.
"Mama~ma! Garp, you've gone too far!"
Big Mom raised her saber—also wreathed in Conqueror's Haki—and swung.
Garp met their combined attacks with muscle-bound fists, aura surging with destruction.
"Pirates! Don't get cocky!"
Their three attacks clashed in midair, sending shockwaves ripping across the sea.

Meanwhile…
"Get Barrett out of the water, now!"
Caesar roared, transforming into a massive dragon and diving into the ocean.
Beneath the waves, he spotted a shadow.
With a powerful stroke, his claws grabbed Barrett's unconscious body.
SPLASH!
Caesar exploded from the sea and landed on the deck, Barrett bloodied and limp in his grasp.
"Brother Barrett!"
He yelled.
"MEDIC! GET THE MEDIC!"
Naitchen rushed over with his medical kit.
"His internal organs are damaged. We need to treat him immediately! Get him to the infirmary!"
Caesar didn't hesitate—he threw Barrett over his shoulder and sprinted off.
---
On Big Mom's side, Katakuri was pulled back onboard, having fainted on the mochi raft he created.
"Hurry! Medical team! Brother Katakuri is injured!"
Both sides scrambled to rescue their wounded.
No one expected Garp to step in.
---
Aokiji watched anxiously as Garp clashed alone against two legends.
"Contact Marine HQ immediately! Vice Admiral Garp has engaged Charlotte and Big Mom! Request backup!"
"Y-Yes, sir!"
The signal operator ran off to report.
Garp's impulsive move had triggered a chain reaction.
Charlotte and Big Mom, now united in fury, launched furious assaults against him.
At first, Garp held his ground.
But as the battle dragged on—
The danger intensified rapidly.
