All 100,000 sailors looked in that direction, their eyes filled with excitement.

"That's Vice Admiral Garp, the strongest Marine in history!"

"With him protecting us, the Whitebeard Pirates will never be able to rescue Portgas D. Ace!"

Garp's intervention instantly boosted the morale of the Navy.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku frowned in surprise and looked at Garp, saying:

"Karp, no one forced you to take action."

Sengoku had long guessed the relationship between Garp and Ace, but he kept it to himself.

He didn't assign Garp any missions for this battle at Marineford, but he didn't expect Garp to take the initiative.

Karp was internally struggling and in pain, but on the surface he shouted:

"I am also a Marine, and I am sworn enemies with pirates! Anyone who wants to rescue Fire Fist Ace will have to step over my dead body first!"

As soon as these words came out.

The pirates were all stunned, swallowing hard in fear.

After all, Garp's reputation was too great.

He repeatedly cornered the Pirate King Roger and annihilated the Rocks Pirates in the Battle of God Valley.

Garp, like Whitebeard, is a living legend!

185. Garp vs. Whitebeard! Akainu, using every means possible, launches a sneak attack with his Darkhide!

Seeing his pirate crew intimidated by Garp's reputation, Whitebeard declared loudly:

"Don't worry, he's just an old soldier who's about to die!"

Garp, sitting in the admiral's seat, grinned:

"Whitebeard, it's been decades since we last fought, hasn't it?"

Although Garp had chased Roger the most in the past, he had also clashed with Whitebeard and fought him several times.

If Whitebeard were still like he was in the original story, covered in wounds and struggling to walk, Garp certainly wouldn't have taken advantage of him.

But now, after eating the Senzu Bean, Whitebeard's health has greatly improved.

He also suppressed his heart condition so that outsiders couldn't tell anything was wrong, and was still able to overpower Akainu.

This inevitably made Garp feel a strong urge to try it out.

With fewer and fewer strong veterans left, Garp wanted to use battle to bid a final farewell to his former enemies!

The white-bearded man squinted and said:

"What, you want to compete with me too?"

“No,” Garp laughed. “Winning or losing isn’t important. I just miss the days when I chased after you and Roger.”

"Goo la la la!"

The white-bearded man laughed heartily.

"You really are a lethargic old soldier, actually reminiscing about the enemy."

Garp's smile gradually faded, and he fell silent.

How could he not miss Roger?

After all, Roger's son was his grandson whom he had raised himself; he was family!

If Roger were still alive at this time, he could have rescued Ace with Whitebeard. That would have been wonderful.

Garp was quite startled to have such a delusion in his mind.

"I am a marine, a defender of justice, how could I sympathize with pirates!"

Karp forced him to stand firm on his position.

He then abruptly stood up from his general's seat, raised his iron fist, and charged towards Whitebeard, shouting:

"No matter what, Whitebeard, I will never allow you to trample on the dignity of the Navy!"

Garp, the strongest marine hero, actually took action against Whitebeard, the strongest man.

This scene even drew the attention of Akainu, who was standing opposite Whitebeard.

to be frank,

As an absolute hardliner within the Navy, Akainu has always had a very poor relationship with moderates like Garp and Aokiji.

Furthermore, Akainu also knows that Garp is the father of Dragon, the world's most notorious criminal and revolutionary, and that his grandson Monkey D. Luffy recently caused a major disturbance at Enies Lobby and is also an unforgivable pirate.

These two points alone are enough to make Akainu extremely dislike Garp.

If it weren't for Garp's title as a naval hero and his close relationship with Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Akainu would have long ago suggested that the Navy keep a close watch on Garp.

Akainu was quite surprised to see that Garp was actually willing to fight Whitebeard instead of slacking off like Aokiji and Kizaru.

But it was just an accident.

Although Akainu didn't guess like Sengoku that Fire Fist Ace was raised by Garp, he vaguely sensed that the relationship between Garp and Ace was unusual.

Unless Garp kills Ace with his own hands and captures both Dragon and Luffy at Marine Headquarters, Akainu will not believe that Garp has reformed.

Anyway,

In Akainu's eyes, who upholds absolute justice, there is no room for even the slightest imperfection; he simply can't do anything about Garp.

……

Chambord Islands.

Luo Xing raised his eyebrows slightly as he watched the live broadcast from the video Den Den Mushi.

Has the hero Garp finally clashed with Whitebeard? This is a great opportunity to observe Garp's strength.

As for Garp's inner struggles and his choice of justice, Luo Xing didn't bother to think about it at all.

Because in Luo Xing's view,

It's laughable that Garp insists on this so-called justice when his son and grandson are hostile to the Navy and the World Government.

Is justice that cannot even protect one's own family members?

But if you insist on upholding this kind of justice, then you should quickly put aside your own family for the greater good, but then you can't bring yourself to do it.

In the end, it's nothing but self-deception and self-torture!

Anyway, Luo Xing felt that the people in the Monkey D. family were all a bit mentally unstable.

A man who grew up in a traditional naval family went off to engage in revolution;

A person who was raised to become a powerful marine went and became a pirate;

An old man who can't even educate his son and grandson properly, yet he's still stuck in the navy. Isn't he just asking for trouble?

If the one executed at Marineford wasn't Portgas D. Ace, but Straw Hat Luffy, or the revolutionary Dragon, what would you, Garp, do?

Anyway,

Luo Xing didn't think much of Garp's sense of justice; he was simply curious about Garp's strength.

He stared intently at the large screen.

Garp's Iron Fist and Whitebeard's Murakumogiri collided, creating ripples that spread outwards.

· ········Requesting flowers··· ···

A powerful shockwave swept across all directions.

Garp truly lived up to his reputation as a legendary powerhouse on par with Whitebeard, as he fought Whitebeard to a standstill.

No matter what moves Whitebeard used, Garp could steadily parry them with his seemingly limitless and powerful aura.

While fighting, Garp still had the energy to say:

"Whitebeard, it seems your body hasn't fully recovered. Your Haki has actually decreased quite a bit."

Whitebeard would definitely be able to use Conqueror's Haki, but he has never used it until now.

That's why Garp said Whitebeard's Haki had decreased too much.

"Stop talking nonsense, I have a white beard!"

The white-bearded man roared angrily.

. thirty ...

A transparent shockwave covered the blade of Murakumogiri, which was raised high, seemingly about to slash at Garp.

Garp sensed the power of this attack with his Observation Haki and dared not be careless, covering his entire body with Armament Haki.

But the sword that Whitebeard raised failed to strike down; instead, it fell to the ground.

“Cough…Puff!”

Whitebeard suddenly clutched his heart and spat out a mouthful of blood.

If it weren't for Murakumo Kiri's support, he wouldn't even be able to stand steadily.
