One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 55 Armament Haki

Snapped!
Ace kicked the tree trunk with one foot, used the force to jump out, and after a few jumps, he jumped next to Luffy.

"Ace!" Luffy, who was hiding behind a tree, was overjoyed. "Why are you here?"

"I said this place sensed your distress signal, do you believe it?"

Ace pointed to his heart and just as he smiled, he noticed two figures fighting fiercely in the mountains and forests in the distance.

"Who's that guy?" Ace gasped in shock. "So strong! He can actually fight that old guy back and forth?"

"Can't you tell? It's Brother Xia Nuo!"

"It's him?"

Ace frowned and observed it carefully for a moment.

It is true that he has grown a lot taller and stronger, but looking at his profile, he is really the guy who once easily knocked him down with just three punches and two kicks.

"So he's so awesome!"

Gulp! Ace swallowed hard. He'd been so embarrassed when he was knocked unconscious last year that he'd practiced hard all year, hoping to get his revenge someday.

Now it seems that it was the result of the opponent letting them off too much. Even if Sabo was still alive, the three ASL brothers would not be able to withstand a single punch from the opponent.

……

boom!
With a fierce back kick from Shanuo, Cap's body slammed into the cliff, and a muffled sound was heard throughout the mountain.

"You little monster, you can actually change direction several times in the air in an instant!"

Garp laughed heartily, shaking off the dust and smoke, his rough knuckles cracking. "You've mastered both the Shave and Moon Steps so well. Where on earth did you steal the Six Styles from?"

"No one taught me! It all depends on my own hard work and sweat!"

Xia Nuo also laughed. This old man was really nice. After a brief fight, he limited his strength and speed to a level similar to his own without saying a word.

So down.

It completely turned into a confrontation of physical strength and practical reaction ability, as well as a head-on clash of strong muscles.

The fight lasted for half an hour, with each punch hitting the flesh, and it was a very satisfying fight.

It's a pity for this forest. I don't know how many big trees have fallen down, and the ground is in a mess.

"No, no, if we keep fighting like this, we won't be able to decide the winner until dark." Garp scratched his head and said, "Raising your power wouldn't be fair. How about we just keep it this way..."

The voice just fell.

His right fist suddenly turned pitch black as if dipped in ink, and he raised his head and bared his teeth at Shanuo in the tree.

"Little devil, be careful!"

Damn, are you serious?

Looking at Garp's sprinting figure, Shanuo's pupils suddenly shrank, and he stomped on the ground suddenly. The afterimage of his shave seemed to be still lingering in the same place, and his real body had flashed behind Garp.

However, he decided to strike first and punched Garp's neck steadily and fiercely.

However, just as Xia Nuo's fist was about to touch the surface of the skin.

The old man seemed to have eyes on his back. He grabbed his wrist with his backhand and threw him over his shoulder. At the same time, his right fist, as strong as ink, slammed into Xia Nuo's chest!
Boom!
Shanuo flew backwards in an instant and crashed into the ground like a cannonball. Spider-web-like cracks spread rapidly, even reaching Ace and Luffy's feet.

In the center of the crack, smoke and dust suddenly rose up, and there was no sound for a long time.

"Brother Shanuo!"

Luffy was startled by this scene and rushed over to help Shanuo up, shouting angrily, "What are you doing, you old bastard! How could you hit him so hard!"

"Hee..." Garp landed on the ground, ignoring Luffy and staring at the center of the smoke.

He didn't believe that the other party couldn't withstand this.

This kid's strength and speed are indeed very strong, but what surprised him most after fighting so far is his amazing physical strength and defense.

His bones seemed to be made of iron, and he almost broke them several times, but he would just shake his arms and they would quickly return to normal.

Not to mention the head, which was as hard as a steel ball. Before using the Armament Haki, even if he punched it, the recoil would cause a slight pain.

Fourteen years old... Only fourteen years old!!!
This kid is only two years older than Ace, but his strength is more than ten times higher.

Karp now feels a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should not have said such a decisive thing.

At worst, we can just take him away forcibly and then slowly guide him. It’s a waste of time to let such a good seedling go.

What rear admiral? Now it seems that this kid will be qualified to be a lieutenant general of this department when he grows up!

The smoke gradually dispersed.

As expected, Xia Nuo just shook his head and stood up as if nothing had happened.

Although blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth and his chest had collapsed slightly, his aura was still fierce and steady, and his eyes, looking up, were still full of fighting spirit.

"What a shameless guy." Shanuo grinned, "Not only did he use Armament Haki, he even used Observation Haki."

He touched his chest, and the aura left by the powerful Armament Haki just now seemed to still be surging around the wound, and he could clearly capture it.

Xia Nuo closed his eyes and felt for a while, then suddenly licked the blood from the corner of his mouth greedily.

"Come again!"

He tore his tattered shirt apart violently, and his twisted and terrifying muscles shone faintly in the sunlight, giving off a metallic copper-colored luster.

"Wow!!!" Luffy and Ace widened their eyes.

Under the two little ghosts' astonished gazes, Shanuo suddenly stomped his foot on the ground, stepped on the moon step and rushed up to the sky above the forest, punching Garp's head fiercely. The fist was wrapped in a strong wind, tearing through the air, and the brim of Garp's dog-head hat was blown by it, but the old face was wrinkled with excitement.

"Well done!"

He suddenly took a half step back, and his dark right fist swung upwards, leaving a shadow, like a sledgehammer, smashing down.

The dark color was reflected in Xia Nuo's pupils. He didn't dodge or evade, but just punched forward!

Click!

Compared to the previous evenly matched fight, Garp's fist covered with Armament Haki suddenly became stronger, and Shano could even hear the groaning of his bones under the heavy burden.

But the numbing sensation from the finger bones became increasingly hot, as if countless ants were gnawing through the blood vessels deep into the bone marrow, causing both pain and fascination.

"Huh, huh..."

He was panting heavily, but he was not willing to give up. Instead, he continued to increase his strength as if he was unsatisfied, baring his teeth at Garp, with his mouth stretched to his ears.

"Extend me your left fist, old man!"

Before he finished speaking, his empty left fist rushed towards Garp's shoulder without hesitation, and Garp laughed and blocked it with his left fist.

"So greedy? I'll satisfy you!"

boom! ! !
The moment the two fists collided, the air wave exploded completely, sweeping in all directions!

"Oh no, we're too close!"

Ace immediately clung to the tree trunk tightly, barely avoiding being blown away.

Luffy hurriedly twisted his arms into a spiral and hung on Ace's legs, but his straw hat flew high up and spun on the treetop, revealing his eyes that were as big as copper bells underneath.

"My hat..."

Boom! Shanuo was knocked back and stepped on the branch of the tree. Looking at the straw hat next to him, he picked it up and pretended to throw it to Luffy, but the straw hat disappeared without a trace the moment it slipped out of his hand.

"Look in my bag!"

He laughed and rushed towards Garp again.

Eh?
Luffy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses and rushed directly to the backpack that Shanuo had thrown next to a huge rock in the distance. After opening it, he saw that the familiar straw hat was really lying inside.

"Wow, magic has evolved! It's even more amazing!!!"

……

Hearing the screams coming from under his feet, Shanuo twitched the corners of his mouth, but did not delay his action and punched Karp again.

The two men exchanged punches one after another, like a violent storm without stopping, and in a blink of an eye, they had fought for hundreds of rounds.

At this moment, when Shanuo punched again, Karp could already vaguely feel a familiar domineering aura from the wind of his fist.

"Amazing insight."

Garp tightly gripped Shanuo's fist, preventing him from moving forward. He narrowed his eyes and said, "I didn't expect that in such a short time, you could clearly sense the presence of domineering aura and begin to try to align with it. The next step is to begin trying to entangle it!"

"—Wrapped around your body, even your weapons! If you can make it as clear and visible as smoke, increasing the destructive power of your punches and kicks, then you've reached the level of mastery!"

"However, to achieve this, you still need some practice to adapt. I'm short on time and don't have the time to watch you slowly master it. I'll just jump straight to the next step. Listen carefully!"

"This second step! Based on the entanglement, it can make the originally smoky Armament Haki become condensed and adhered like glue, and can greatly enhance a certain part of the body as you wish!"

Both of his arms suddenly turned extremely dark, "Just like this!"

boom!
The extremely hard elbow suddenly moved upwards and hit Shanuo in the face. Shanuo's two fists were resisting Karp's fists, and he couldn't break free for a while. He could only watch the elbow coming.

He screamed and flew backwards, crashing directly into the rock below the cliff.

He coughed violently for a long time and spat out a large mouthful of blood before he caught his breath. He took a sip and suddenly felt something was wrong. He reached in and dug out two teeth in an instant.

"I'm past the tooth replacement stage! How can this grow back?"

Xia Nuo stepped out of the pit, furious. "Old man, can you aim more accurately? Go for the wisdom teeth instead!"

"That's a lack of common sense. How can a fourteen-year-old kid have wisdom teeth?"

Garp sneered disdainfully, "See? Being able to harden body parts at will like this old man has already reached the second step. And this is all I can teach you!"

"As for wanting to go up further..."

He dropped to the ground from mid-air with a thud. "Master the second step first. The path after that is up to you to explore and pursue on your own. Depending on your personal needs or limited talents, you can go in different directions."

"For example."

Garp suddenly glanced at Luffy, "Some people focus on improving the concentration of their Armament Haki, hoping to concentrate all the Armament Haki they can control into a small area, such as the tip of a bullet, to unleash terrifying destructive power."

"Why are you looking at me?" Luffy looked puzzled.

Shanuo immediately realized that Karp was referring to the red-haired deputy captain Ben Beckman. When the gun was raised, even his second uncle had to give him some face.

"And there are some others."

Garp glared at Luffy fiercely, then looked away and continued, "They pursue the ultimate in full-body defense. They fear a vulnerability anywhere, so they cover their entire body with Armament Haki, making the enemy invulnerable."

This time the old man didn't give any examples.

Shanuo lowered his head and thought carefully.

The first thing that comes to mind is Doflamingo's confidant, Vergo, who was sent to play Infernal Affairs for three years and finally became the boss of the G branch.
