Chapter 1436 Grandfather and Grandson 1
Luffy and the golden arhat transformed by Bellemer fought fist to fist, palm to palm, Buddha's light against martial arts spirit at close range. For the time being, the two young men were evenly matched.
Sabo and Rengoku Kyojuro fought against each other. The swordsman who used breathing techniques caused considerable trouble to the Revolutionary Army, who could only generate different weapons to deal with it.
Every weapon made of energy will not last more than a minute before it will be chopped into pieces by Rengoku Kyojuro. Fortunately, Sabo's will is strong enough and he can continue to produce weapons.
The offensive momentum of the two brothers Luffy and Sabo was temporarily curbed by the young navy. Faced with the execution platform that was just around the corner, they could not move forward any further.
The adopted sons of the Whitebeard Pirates were locked in a bitter battle with the vice admirals of the navy. The strong ones were the ones who could decide the course of the war, while the weak ones were merely embellishments of the strong ones, and their influence on the battle situation was almost negligible.
Zhan Guo looked at the navy admirals who were outnumbered, and finally decided in his heart to let his old friends go to the battlefield together: "You guys go, I will stay here for the time being, don't die easily."
"They want to kill me, but they are just a bunch of brats, not Roger. Let them grow up for a few more years," Garp said, clenching his fists. He was full of resentment and wanted to find a resistant target to vent his anger on.
"It is better to die honorably on the battlefield than to die on a sickbed. That is how you live like a man. The Warring States Navy is left to you." Kong Ganggu had no intention of leaving Marinford alive today.
"I have been confused before. Let me kill more pirates to make up for my sins over the years." The one-armed Zefa had a dying attitude. To outsiders, it seemed that he had already intended to die.
Lieutenant General He looked at this group of old guys from the past. They had grown from young to old and frail. Many of them had died. It was a blessing or perhaps a curse for them to be alive until now.
"Be careful, you all must come back safely," a tear flashed in Lieutenant General He's eyes. The memories of their time together when they were young seemed like they happened just yesterday. It was true that people tend to become sentimental as they get older.
"I'm going to teach these two good-for-nothing grandsons a lesson first, and then I'll go help Aokiji and the others." Garp is itching to beat up Luffy and Sabo, of course, there is a lot of selfish motives involved.
Zephyr and Cyborg Hollow both understood and hoped that Garp's fist would make his two grandsons give up and leave Marineford without any missing limbs.
In the smoke-filled Marinford Square, the shadow of the Navy Headquarters building was suddenly cut by a falling figure, which also brushed past the two big words "Navy".
Garp's burly body fell like a cannonball, his heavy military boots crushing the stone slabs on the ground and stirring up a cloud of dust.
Luffy's duel with Bellemere had not yet ended, but the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the smoke and dust made him suddenly freeze.
Bellemer also saw the familiar face and continued to attack Luffy without any moral ethics. The Golden Body Arhat just stayed where he was, leaving enough space for the grandfather and grandson to talk.
"Grandpa..." The straw hat boy's voice had a clearly audible tremor.
Garp slowly stood up straight. He did not smile as brightly as usual. The wrinkles on his face were as deep as if carved by a knife. The eyes that were once full of love were now like a frozen pond, staring at Luffy's young face.
The sea breeze blew up his cloak of justice, and the fluttering cloak seemed to indicate an irreconcilable position.
"Luffy," Garp's voice was as hoarse as sandpaper, and every word carried a thousand-pound weight, "Do you know what you are doing?"
Luffy clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the exertion. He could see the pain welling up in his grandfather's eyes, but he knew more clearly the path he had to take.
"I want to save Ace," the boy faced the cold gaze, his voice not loud but extremely firm, "No matter who it is, don't try to stop me"!
Garp's eyes suddenly became as sharp as an eagle, and the aura emanating from his body made the air around him seem to solidify. He took a step forward, and the gravel under his feet groaned under the weight.
The sounds of fighting in the square seemed to fade away at this moment, leaving only this grandfather and grandson, who were connected by blood but had conflicting positions, engaging in a silent battle with their eyes at the crossroads of fate.
Sabo glanced at Garp out of the corner of his eye. He didn't expect that he would die so soon. It was unpredictable what Grandpa Garp would do.
Does he want to capture the pirate who is his grandson personally, or does he want to drive Luffy and the others away? Only Garp knows what is going on in his mind now.
"Luffy, maybe I didn't care enough about you and left you alone in Windmill Town. If I had kept you by my side, I would have brought you to Marinford when you were a child."
"Perhaps this tragedy wouldn't have happened. Long is an incompetent father, and I am an incompetent grandfather. Let me end this tragedy with my own hands."
No one would have thought that one day a grandfather and a grandson would kill each other. The old and the young, who were connected by blood, stood on different positions and opposed each other. The conflict was irreconcilable from the beginning.
Garp doesn't want to put the blame on Luffy. Luffy is influenced by the gangster Red-Haired Shanks. If Garp doesn't let them come into contact, he can prevent the tragedy from the beginning.
How great would it be if Luffy became a navy? Do you think being a pirate means you can have freedom? This is completely a childish fantasy.
In this world, only the strong are worthy of freedom. The weak are not even qualified to sit at the table and can only survive at the mercy of the strong. Freedom is a luxury and not everyone can have it from the beginning.
The wind on the sea suddenly stopped, and the knuckles of Garp's clenched fists made a crisp sound as he could not bear the weight.
His red eyes stared at Luffy, his chest heaving violently, and a beast-like growl escaped from his throat.
The next second, the invisible domineering aura exploded from his body like a volcanic eruption, and the air seemed to be crushed by an invisible boulder, making a dull explosion.
The heavy pressure spread out like tangible black ink, the sky suddenly darkened, and the clouds seemed to be pressed down.
The faces of the surrounding sailors turned pale. Those who didn't know how to use domineering energy were knocked unconscious immediately. Those who didn't have strong domineering energy collapsed to the ground, without even the strength to lift their heads.
Luffy stood in the center of the domineering force, his body shaking violently due to the huge pressure, his feet deeply embedded in the ground. He stared at his grandfather, his eyes stubbornly refusing to give in.
The domineering aura was still madly impacting everything around it. The calm sky was rippling with tiny ripples, and a huge hole was torn in the clouds, revealing a gloomy background.
Luffy's straw hat rustled in the wind. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, blood dripping through his fingers. He used this stupid method to keep himself awake.
He looked at his grandfather who was like an angry lion in front of him, his throat choked with sobs and he couldn't speak, he could only make hoarse sobs.
Garp's domineering aura was like a physical chain, imprisoning everything around him. Even time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The navy hero's domineering aura has not been revealed for many years, and outsiders think that he does not have the qualities of a king.
When he was young, Garp could fight against Roger. If he didn't have some real skills, he would have been thrown into the sea by Roger's pirate group to feed the fish.
