Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"White Thunderfire Whip!"

Feet and fists collided again in mid-air, a fierce and powerful clash that produced a deafening explosion!

"Grandpa, are you really going to stop me?!"

Luffy used the force of the collision to flip himself onto the ground and met Garp's gaze.

"If even I can't get through this, then don't even think about saving that guy!"

Garp roared in response, giving Luffy no chance to catch his breath. His forehead was covered with dark Haki, and his upper body leaned forward like a raging bull, slamming his head into Luffy's abdomen.

"Iron Head - Shattering Stars!"

"Well!"

Luffy grunted, his feet leaving the ground as he was hit by the sudden headbutt and flew backward.

But his combat instincts were amazing. In the instant he was knocked away, he brought his feet together, wrapped them in lightning and fire, and kicked hard into Garp's solid chest!

The two sides exchanged blows, one after the other.

No mercy!

Chapter 319 Both Sides Suffer Injuries, Aokiji Makes His Move

Deng Deng Deng!

Garp was kicked back several steps by the powerful kicks, and a burning pain and numbness came from his chest.

Luffy's body is covered in lightning and scorching flames; an ordinary person's body would have been paralyzed by the electricity long ago.

Luffy used the momentum to retreat, then pressed one hand on the ground, launching himself into the air like a catapult.

"You damn grandpa, please don't die!"

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and a domineering aura of black and red gathered wildly, with even more violent golden lightning and crimson flames leaping between them.

"White Thunderfire Meteorite!"

He swung his arms forward with a sudden burst, and countless shockwaves wrapped in lightning and fire, like meteors falling from the sky, bombarded Garp below.

"I won't die! But you, if that's all you've got, don't blame me for dragging you into the same place as Ace!"

Garp looked up at the sky and, facing this devastating blow, laughed heartily.

His fists were like tireless pile drivers, pounding upwards again and again.

Each punch was simple and unadorned, yet it contained terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas, as well as an extremely refined domineering aura.

"Fist Bone - Star Link!"

boom!

Boom! Boom!

The collision between the two exploded into a shower of sparks and flames.

Garp's fist didn't even directly contact the shockwave; the sheer amount of Haki he released along with the force of his punch was enough to completely dismantle these incredibly powerful attacks.

After unleashing dozens of punches to clear away the last piece of meteorite, Garp flashed again, using Moonwalk to accelerate twice in the air, instantly breaking through the aftershocks of the explosion and appearing in front of Luffy!

"You brat, treat me like an enemy and take this fight seriously!"

He roared, his fist crackling with terrifying black and red lightning, tearing through the air as he slammed it down toward Luffy's face!

"White balloon!"

Luffy reacted extremely quickly, his abdomen instantly swelling into a giant white balloon.

Boom!

Garp's fist slammed into the balloon with a dull thud, and the immense force of the impact made his arm tremble slightly, halting his attack.

However, just as Luffy thought he had successfully defended and was preparing to return to his original state to launch a counterattack...

"How naive!"

Garp growled, and his fist, which had been deflected, slammed out again at an even faster speed!

This time it wasn't a straight punch, but a clever maneuver that bypassed the balloon's defenses and struck Luffy's side!

Luffy's pupils contracted, and he quickly shrank his body, while his forehead was once again covered with Armament Haki. He then thrust forward with force.

Snapped!

Garp's other hand gripped Luffy's wrist as he tried to block, preventing him from effectively defending himself.

At the same time, the fist that bypassed the defense landed squarely on Luffy's side.

puff!

Luffy spat out a mouthful of acidic water, his body arched like a shrimp, and intense pain instantly spread throughout his body.

"Your Conqueror's Haki is quite impressive, but this talent of yours was inherited from me!"

Garp pressed his advantage relentlessly, using the hand that was gripping Luffy's wrist to slam him hard into the ground, while his other fist was once again filled with Conqueror's Haki, ready to deliver a heavy blow!

"White, spinning whip!"

Just as he was slammed to the ground, Luffy endured the excruciating pain and spun his body at high speed like a top. The leg that wasn't caught swept towards Garp's neck like a steel whip, leaving afterimages.

Garp was forced to release his grip on Luffy's hand and block with his arm.

boom!

The leg whip collided with the arm, unleashing a powerful burst of energy.

Just as Garp was about to reach Luffy, Luffy, who was spinning his leg whip, suddenly disappeared, causing Garp to miss his target.

That's an afterimage created by utilizing the elasticity of rubber and high-speed movement.

Luffy lowered his body, narrowly avoiding Garp's follow-up attack. At the same time, his axe-like right foot was once again covered in lightning and fire, and from an incredible angle, it stomped hard on Garp's head, who was slightly leaning forward due to the missed attack.

"You've got your comeuppance this time!"

At the same time, a glint flashed in Luffy's eyes. He manipulated the remaining ruins of the buildings around him, and the bricks, stones and wood were instantly assimilated into rubber, twisted and deformed, and combined into a giant slingshot.

He positioned himself on the slingshot like a cannonball, aiming directly at Garp, whose movements were slowed by the blow to the head!

"Rubber, White Rocket, Thunderous Strike!"

The compressed elastic potential energy was released instantly, and Luffy's figure transformed into a meteor wrapped in red and black lightning and crimson flames, shooting fiercely toward Garp's chest with a speed surpassing any previous attack.

This strike brought together all of his power at that moment.

With its domineering aura, lightning, and flames, it seized upon Garp's fleeting vulnerability after he was injured!

boom!

The crimson and black lightning shockwave completely engulfed Garp's figure. The terrifying energy erupted, forming a thick pillar of light that shot straight into the sky, stirring up the clouds above into a huge vortex!

The scattered lightning and flames flew in all directions like fireworks, illuminating everything around them in a flickering light.

"Go back to your old ways and retire, you damn grandpa." Luffy landed on the ground, slightly out of breath, staring intently at the center of the energy burst.

This attack should...

However, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Fist bone..."

A deep, oppressive voice rang out from the still-lingering pillar of lightning and fire.

The hand that had just punched Luffy in the stomach suddenly emerged from the turbulent energy flow and clenched tightly!

Zizi!

Within the massive shockwave, an invisible gripping force forcefully created a gap, revealing the black and red lightning leaping around the fist!

With a powerful punch, the shockwave, capable of destroying the island, was cleaved in two!

"The Galaxy Split!"

The fist, wreathed in ultimate Conqueror's Haki, broke through all obstacles, and the enormous fist reached Luffy in the blink of an eye.

Luffy only had time to cross his arms and cover them with Armament Haki to protect his chest.

Bang!

An oppressive force pressed down hard on his arms.

An indescribable force surged through him, and Luffy felt his arm bones groaning under the strain, his chest feeling as if it were about to collapse. He flew backwards to the ground, leaving only a blur.

Rumble!

The ground was smashed open, creating a huge crater tens of meters in diameter, with cracks spreading like a spider web to the horizon.

The surrounding buildings collapsed and crumbled like sandcastles under the terrifying aftershocks of the impact, and the swirling dust rose into the sky like a tsunami, obscuring half of the sky.

Garp slowly emerged from the dissipating pillar of lightning and fire. Several wounds appeared on his bare upper body and resolute face, blood flowing freely, but he seemed oblivious. He simply looked at the huge crater and let out a hearty laugh: "Pfft, hahahaha! If you want this old man to retire, this level is far from enough, brat! You're still a long way from mastering Conqueror's Haki!"

He could sense that the Conqueror's Haki contained in that punch was indeed quite refined and destructive.

It allowed him to feel the power of his old friends, something he hadn't experienced in a long time.

No wonder those remnants of the old regime were defeated one after another.

His grandson has truly surpassed his predecessor; now he's planning to completely crush him on the beach.

Splash!

The billowing smoke and dust were suddenly dispersed by an invisible force.

At the bottom of the deep pit, Luffy slowly stood up.

The ground beneath his feet undulated like rubber.

His body was covered with fine wounds, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered serious internal injuries from the galaxy splitting attack.

His strongest lightning strike only managed to cause Garp to bleed and get injured.

Luffy felt a chill run down his spine.
