Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

However, he was actually overthinking it. Gion was indeed the future Momousagi, a candidate admiral in the Navy, but that did not mean that Momousagi's strength was necessarily directly related to Aokiji and the others.

Because of the "variable" Wood, Gion is now much stronger than Momousagi was at the same stage in the original story.

Garp is one of the most qualified people to speak on this matter. Akainu and Kizaru are practically the future champions of the headquarters. Sengoku and Garp have personally tested their strength.

The level that Gion and Wood showed in the battle was basically the same as the level he had tested Aokiji and the others.

Even before today, Garp had never imagined that Gion's strength had secretly increased to this extent.

Aokiji and the others are already vice admirals, while Gion is still only a major general. Garp thinks that when he goes back this time, he might be able to talk to Sengoku about this.

Admittedly, Gion may be much younger than Akainu and the others in terms of age, but in terms of achievements, strength, and character, Gion is in no way inferior to Akainu and the others.

The Navy Headquarters typically has only three admirals, but this is not always the case.

If Gion can demonstrate sufficient strength and value, it is not impossible for her to become the fourth admiral of the headquarters in the future, and the only female admiral.

Garp walked to the side and picked up the Justice Cloak and Vest that Wood and Gion had thrown on the ground.

Garp was fine with the Gion Justice Cloak; when he first got it, he only felt its considerable weight.

But when he picked up Wood's vest, good heavens, Karp couldn't even easily pick it up with one hand at first.

This is obviously several tons in weight, comparable to some small boats.

And that brat Wood was actually fighting Gion's girl while wearing such heavy stuff?

No! It seems that when this kid clashed with me before, forcing me to retreat, he was wearing this thing too!

Thinking about this, Garp was unsettled. According to Sengoku's and his own original ideas, the one who should have been holding back in the battle was Garp, the naval hero. But Garp never imagined that he would be the one being let off easy by the enemy.

Garp was, after all, a man of some standing, and he considered himself Wood's elder. The thought of how he had previously praised Wood's improved strength with a smug look on his face made Garp's old face blush.

"Wood boy, if you can even defeat a girl from Gion, then it's my turn next."

"After all, we were sent by the World Government to arrest you, the traitor. If we do nothing, we won't be able to explain ourselves to Sengoku when we get back."

Would Garp care about Sengoku's thoughts? Obviously not. The only reason Garp would want to take action now is because he's too embarrassed to admit it and wants to regain his authority as an elder through his fists.

Chapter 174 The Excited and War-Loving Fishmen

This time, Wood did not refuse Garp's expressed fighting spirit as he had before. Instead, he adopted a serious fighting stance and kept his mind at its best.

The reason why Wood's attitude towards the fight with Garp changed so drastically was because Gion had provoked him before.

It's not enough to just keep dominating the weak in the first half of the Grand Line. The best way to continuously become stronger is to challenge the strong.

At this moment, Garp, who is in his prime, is undoubtedly the number one in the Navy and one of the strongest in the entire sea.

Even more so, he is a rare opponent who can truly test one's current level!

Wood knew that defeating Garp was a pipe dream, but he could at least gain a clear understanding of the world's top level through Garp.

Just as Wood charged toward Garp with a sword in hand, his face contorted with fighting spirit, the battle between the Marines and the Fish-Men of the Sun Pirates on Enies Lobby was also in full swing.

Without Gion and Garp's obstruction, Tiger and his group broke through the first main gate of Enies Lobby in a very short time, and soon encountered the giants Oimo and Kashi at the second main gate.

Oimo and Kashi were originally members of the "Giant Warrior Pirates" led by Dorry and Brogy.

However, due to being deceived by the World Government, they became the guards of the second main gate of Enies Lobby, and have been stationed there for over thirty years. (When Luffy and his crew arrived, it was fifty years ago, so thirty years here makes sense.)

The fish-men and the giants are both alien races belonging to this world, and both are alien races that are more skilled in combat than humans.

Even compared to the merfolk, the giants' warriors are natural-born strongmen.

Putting everything else aside, their towering physiques, reaching tens of meters in height, are enough to annihilate a large number of intelligent beings.

Being huge doesn't necessarily mean being strong, but having great strength is definitely a given, after all, their size speaks for itself.

The fish-men of the Sun Pirates could hold their own against ten ragtag Marines at Enies Lobby, but they were clearly no match for the giants Oimo and Kashi.

The merfolk warriors could only do limited damage to the thick-skinned Cassie and his companions, but when the enemy's axe came down, the merfolk warriors suffered heavy casualties.

Although the Sun Pirates brought large Sea Kings with them during their attack on Enies Lobby.

However, the sea kings that came ashore were much weaker and quickly perished under the spears and giant axes of Oimo and Kashi.

In the end, Jinbe himself took action, and with a single Fishman Karate "Karakusa Tile Punch," he sent Kashi, who was over ten meters tall, flying into the air and crashing down the second main gate.

Giants are tough and thick-skinned, and Jinbe's strength is not yet at the level of a "Shichibukai" more than ten years later, so he was quickly forced back by Oimo's spear when he arrived later.

"Boss Tiger, I'll handle these two giants. You guys go to the main island first, I'll be there soon."

Seeing that the second main gate, which had been knocked open by Cassie's body, was about to be closed again, Tiger also adopted the punching stance of Fishman Karate.

"Fishman Karate - Seven Thousand Tile Straight Fist!"

The moment Tiger threw his punch, a powerful shockwave was generated, instantly sweeping towards the front of him.

The punch, powerful enough to cleave seven thousand tiles, not only easily smashed open the second main gate that was about to close, but also blew away hundreds of marines behind the gate in an instant.

Seeing that Jinbe still had the strength to deal with the two giants, and then looking at the many marines pushing cannons and carrying muskets coming from the main island, Tiger knew that he could not waste any more time here.

The members of their "Sun Pirates" are indeed among the best of the fish-men, but most of them cannot ignore the power of firearms and cannons.

If Jinbe were alone, it would be easy for him to escape on his own, but it would be dangerous for the others if they were surrounded.

After briefly analyzing the situation, Tiger agreed to Jinbe's suggestion to leave Jinbe behind to drag the giants away, while he led the others to storm the main island of Enies Lobby.

Once you enter the main island, you can withstand the final tower of justice by passing through the courthouse.

Having broken through two main gates in succession, the merfolk were now unstoppable, and each of them was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

The reason is simple: the fish-men have always hated humans, especially the Navy and the World Government, whom they hate even more.

Many of the current members of the Sun Pirates joined after the crew was formed.

The most common story about the new Fish-Man members in the pirate crew is how the older members, along with Tiger, wreaked havoc in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and saved their fellow fish-men.

It's been almost a year since the events that happened on Mary Geoise, and most of the murlocs can even recite the details by heart.

However, it is undeniable that whenever the newbies of the "Sun Pirates" hear the veteran members bragging, they can't help but feel envious.

He lamented that he was born at the wrong time and hadn't joined the "Sun Pirates" sooner to become one of the heroes.

But today, the fish-men of the Sun Pirates are excited because they are currently attacking Enies Lobby, one of the three major agencies under the World Government!

And their purpose was the same as it was in Mary Geoise: to save their fellow countrymen.

Who is Fishman Tom? The fishmen in the Sun Pirates say they've never heard of him, but that doesn't matter at all.

As long as I complete this job with Boss Tiger and his crew, and the news gets back to Mermaid Island, I'll become someone important there.

Admittedly, the news of the attack on Enies Lobby certainly doesn't compare to the chaos in Mary Geoise, or even the killing of a Celestial Dragon.

However, as an agency directly under the World Government, Enies Lobby's actions are a direct slap in the face to the World Government. They'll have something to brag about when they run into acquaintances in Fishman Town.

So when Tiger led everyone into the main island of Enies Lobby, they were not afraid at all when they saw the "Law Dogs" and the "guilty jury" who had come after hearing the news. Instead, they were all quite excited.

Defeating ordinary naval cannon fodder and returning to Mermaid Island is nothing to brag about, but the "Law Dog Team" and the "guilty jury" in front of them are clearly not ordinary cannon fodder.

The previous two giants, although they also had their own ideas, were simply no match for Jinbe, so they had no choice but to let Jinbe have them.

But now that the "Law Dog Team" and the "guilty jury" are in the air, the fish-men of the "Sun Pirates" feel they have a real chance!

Whether or not the Navy will put a bounty on his head, and whether he can brag about it when he returns to Fishman Street, all depends on this one move.

Chapter 175 These fishmen have holes in their heads...

Ruth and the others were able to return from Enies Lobby thanks to Tom.

But along the way, it was the fish-men of the 'Sun Pirates' who did the work, while the people of the 'Nirvana Pirates' only took down some ordinary small fry. At this moment, Russ felt a little guilty.

So when they saw the "law dog team" and the "guilty jury" blocking their way, Ruth and the others exchanged glances, initially intending to leave the situation to them.

However, just as Ruth expressed his thoughts to Tiger, indicating their willingness to shoulder the heavy responsibility, Ruth inexplicably discovered a strong sense of hostility emanating from all around him.

These hostile gazes did not come from the garrison on Enies Lobby, but from the merfolk warriors who had been fighting alongside them until now.

"You humans are dreaming! You've been following us silently all this way, and now you're trying to steal our prey."

That Tom is one of our compatriots. What does he have to do with you humans? Go cool off somewhere else.

When we finish our battle and are about to leave, we will mercifully take you with us.

Wood is Yasuo's best friend and benefactor, and he himself is quite strong. So even the arrogant Arlong is very polite to Wood.

But who do Russ and his gang think they are? They've been tagging along for so long, and now they actually want to steal their prey. Naturally, Aron won't be polite.

"Brother A-Long is right. We are saving our own compatriots. What business is it of you humans to interfere?"

There are so few of them, not even enough for us brothers to share, and you guys actually want a piece of the pie? You're dreaming!

When Ruth and his companions learned the reason why the surrounding merfolk were hostile to them, they were completely dumbfounded.

The "guilty jury" and "law dog squad" on Enies Lobby are no ordinary ragtag navy personnel. They were quite prepared before making the decision to cover the retreat.

But now it seems that their so-called enlightenment is somewhat superfluous for the fish-men of the "Sun Pirates".

Instead of being moved by their actions, people complained that they were in the way...

What the hell? To save their own people? If Russ remembers correctly, the Sun Pirates only came after receiving a plea for help from their own captain...

And who is Fishman Tom? Do the Fishmen in the Sun Pirates really know him?
