Chapter 76: Garp's Choice
On God Island, because of Nicholas and Whitebeard causing trouble, the situation on the field became even more complex.
With a muffled groan, Rocks grabbed the head of the person in front of him and directly crushed it. In front of him, the headless body was holding a Sea Stone Short Sword.
Similarly, the CP Members around him, watching with fierce eyes, almost all had Sea Prism Stone weapons in their hands.
"You guys have really gone to great lengths to deal with me!"
Rocks said, laughing as he looked around.
"To deal with a guy like you, naturally we have to use any means necessary."
A person wearing a mask and strange clothes said in a hoarse voice.
"Heh, dogs of the World Government who don't even dare to reveal their true faces."
As he spoke, Rocks' gaze turned to Roger, who was standing not far away, holding Ace and forming a pincer attack with Garp.
"I really didn't expect it, you actually chose to stand with these World Government guys. What a pathetic fellow. Do you think you can leave here after dealing with me?!"
Rocks questioned Roger with a loud laugh, clearly wanting to know why Roger was standing with the World Government to deal with him.
"I'm not standing with the World Government, but I made an agreement with the Navy. Also, what you're trying to do is just too dangerous."
Roger changed his usual unreliable demeanor and looked at Rocks in front of him with a serious face.
"Hahaha, that's interesting. A Great Pirate actually saying that what another Great Pirate wants to do is dangerous?"
As if he had heard something funny, Rocks laughed with obvious mockery.
"Rocks D. Gibec! Prepare yourself, this will be your burial ground!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the CP Members around them began their suicidal attack again. For them, they never hoped to kill Rocks. For them, their value was to continuously attack, leaving wounds on Rocks and causing him damage.
To eventually kill Rocks by accumulating damage.
Squinting their eyes, both Garp and Roger frowned slightly at the suicidal attacks of the World Government personnel.
Obviously, both of them found this kind of combat method difficult to accept. One was a Navy high-ranking officer, who obviously couldn't make his subordinates carry out suicide attacks, and the other was a Captain who treated his crew members like partners.
"Roger, go! End this war sooner! Otherwise, I'm worried you really won't be able to leave then."
Garp said seriously to Roger. Obviously, as a high-ranking Navy officer, he was quite clear about the ways of the World Government and the Navy. Although he didn't know what kind of transaction Sengoku and Roger had reached, it was very clear that if Sengoku and the others arrived and the war was not over yet.
Then, according to his understanding of that old buddy, Sengoku would definitely not mind eliminating Roger, one of the most unstable factors on the Sea, along with Rocks.
"Aren't you worried about trouble?"
Roger was not surprised at all by Garp's words, obviously having dealt with Garp more than once or twice.
"What trouble is there? At most, they'll punish me with promotions and pay raises. Besides, Admiral is just a Military Rank. If I want to catch you, I will personally and honorably capture you."
Garp clenched his Fist tightly, full of confidence.
"Hmph, you say that as if you can easily deal with me."
Roger snorted, obviously despising Garp's shamelessness. Although he admitted that Garp was strong, he was not simple either.
There are only a few Top Expert in this Sea, and although most of them are hostile to each other, many of them have developed a sense of mutual appreciation.
Or rather, everyone wants to completely defeat the other fairly. This is the pride and confidence of the Strongest.
"Vice Admiral Garp, Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the others have defeated Golden Lion Shiki and Charlotte Linlin and are rushing here."
A Navy general shouted loudly to Garp, holding a Den Den Mushi.
"Understood."
Garp tugged at his collar and glanced at Roger beside him, the meaning was obvious.
Roger didn't seem to care, but looked at Garp and asked curiously, "Actually, I'm very curious, where did your Navy's two Admirals go? Why didn't they participate in the war? If they had come, this war shouldn't have turned out like this, right?"
Hearing Roger's words, Garp's mouth twitched uncontrollably. After the Rocks Pirates declared war on the World Government, the two Admirals were directly conscripted by the Celestial Dragons to protect Mary Geoise.
But could he say this? Wouldn't it be utterly shameful to say that their own Top Expert combat power went to protect the Celestial Dragons, and they had to find Pirates as reinforcements?
"You don't need to worry about that. They went to carry out a Confidential Information Mission, yes, a Confidential Information Mission."
Garp felt that he had found a good reason and nodded seriously.
Just as Garp was about to explain further, Rocks had already dealt with the CP Members who were besieging him and rushed towards the two of them.
"Roger, use your full power."
Taking a deep breath, Garp's expression became serious, and he looked at Rocks with burning eyes.
"Are you sure?"
Roger frowned, somewhat unwilling. After all, if he went all out, even if he could defeat Rocks, he would fall into weakness, and the Plan agreed with Rayleigh might go wrong.
He was unwilling to put his Crew member in danger because of his own reasons.
"Don't worry, if you run out of stamina, I'll cover your retreat!"
Roger just looked at Garp, then nodded.
Then, on the basis of Armament Haki wrapping, a layer of Haki with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers appeared on Ace, and it was even visible to the naked eye that the air around Ace's Sword was somewhat distorted.
Seeing Roger like this, a smile appeared on Garp's face, and then Armament Haki instantly covered his entire Body.
Looking at the two who were unleashing their full power, the smile on Rocks' face was even more filled with a hint of madness. An Aura of swallowing mountains and rivers and being the only sovereign appeared from Rocks. At this time, he had only one thought, which was to kill these two guys, or be killed by these two guys!
As the three of them unleashed their full power, the Sky once again became filled with lightning and thunder.
Then the three of them disappeared instantly. Garp, Roger, and Rocks appeared in mid-air at the same time. As Fist collided with Fist, and Fist intersected with Sword, the three of them were in a stalemate.
But Garp didn't hold back. In the instant of the stalemate between Rocks and Roger, he appeared in the Sky and slammed down with both fists clasped together.
The atmosphere wailed, and Rocks turned into a stream of light and fell to the ground. At the same time, a Sword light descended from the Sky and hit the place where the stream of light fell.
"How terrifying, is this the battle of Top Expert on the Sea?"
Many Navy Soldiers muttered to themselves as they watched this scene.
"You don't have time to sigh with emotion. The Pirates on the Island haven't been cleaned up yet!"
Along with the loud shout of the Navy general, the Navy Soldiers began to encircle and suppress the remaining Pirates on the Island again.
It can be said that at this point in the battle, the outcome has basically been decided.
"Roger, you should leave."
Looking at the large number of Warships appearing on the Horizon in the distance, Garp said in a deep voice.
Roger was not pretentious either. He glanced at the heavily injured Garp and Rocks in the distance, then turned around and sprinted towards a certain direction of the Island.
That was the evacuation point he had agreed upon with Rayleigh and the others.
"Vice Admiral Garp, Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the others have arrived. In addition, Fleet Admiral Sengoku requests that you find a way to keep Roger here. Their Fleet will find a way to surround the Roger Pirates!"
Almost as soon as Roger retreated, Garp, who was in the final battle with Rocks, heard the order from his Subordinate Navy general.
