The Age of Exploration, don't disturb my cultivation of immortality.

What is he doing here!

All I did was cut down a naval branch captain.

Surely it's not worth making him travel all that way!

not to mention,

He hasn't even finished ransacking their house yet.

You arrived way too fast!

and many more,

anyway,

This is the East China Sea...

Li Xiao suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could this old man have taken leave again to go home and see his grandson?

And they just happened to be passing by this area?

Ah this...

It can't be such a coincidence...

At this moment,

Li Xiao felt like all his previous analysis had been for nothing!

Just when Li Xiao thought he could easily control anyone below the rank of major general in his unit,

Holy crap, a naval hero just showed up!

Gan!

Right now,

Feeling the intense gaze that Karpna was fixed on him,

Li Xiao awkwardly touched his nose.

laughed:

"Um, if I said I just wanted to collect the bounty, would you believe me?"

The voice just fell,

Without hesitation, Garp raised his hand and threw a punch at Li Xiao!

see,

Li Xiao's expression instantly turned serious.

He subconsciously summoned the Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda.

He poured all the spiritual energy in his body into it!

A nine-story purple pagoda instantly appeared above Li Xiao's head.

It emitted bursts of golden light!

The light poured down like a curtain.

It completely enveloped Li Xiao below.

A golden barrier formed around it!

Next second,

Garp's iron fist slammed heavily into the seemingly thin, gauze-like golden barrier!

With a loud bang,

The surrounding ground cracked inch by inch from the residual force of that punch.

The shockwaves shot out to both sides.

The wind blew the Arlong Pirates, who were observing from the sidelines, and a group of scattered Marine soldiers back one after another.

Even worse, one person lost their balance and fell straight to the ground!

however,

Despite facing the punch head-on, Li Xiao remained standing calmly in place.

He was completely unharmed and motionless.

The golden barrier didn't even produce the slightest ripple!

At this moment,

Karp was stunned.

Li Xiao himself was completely dumbfounded!

Just as Li Xiao himself had predicted,

His current strength is roughly equivalent to that of a Rear Admiral in the Navy Headquarters.

Having exhausted all means

Even if facing a lieutenant general from headquarters, he would be able to escape unscathed!

Although in terms of military rank,

Garp is also a lieutenant general in the headquarters.

But the key point is that he's not just any ordinary lieutenant general!

Other vice admirals are vice admirals because...

It's because his skill level is only up to lieutenant general!

Garp was promoted to lieutenant general because...

It's because he only thought of the lieutenant general!

After all, he was a fierce guy who used to chase after Roger all the time when he was young!

Moreover, in the world of One Piece,

Garp is one of the few who is quite old.

However, there were no characters who significantly impacted combat effectiveness!

With Li Xiao's current strength, facing Garp...

It can be said that there was almost no suspense.

The two sides are not even on the same level!

Even if Garp just threw a casual punch,

This is extremely dangerous for Li Xiao!

therefore,

After seeing Garp attack him

Li Xiao subconsciously summoned the Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda.

I just hope to cushion the attack for myself as much as possible!

However, what Li Xiao didn't expect was...

The Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda not only blocked the punch,

Even more so, he was completely unharmed.

I didn't feel even the slightest impact!

Even the consumption of spiritual energy is pitifully small!

To put it simply,

This punch,

It's not breached!

But that doesn't make sense!

Could it be that Garp held back the entire East China Sea with that punch?

That's even more unreasonable!

I have no prior acquaintance with him, nor are we related by blood or marriage.

That's impossible!

Just as Li Xiao was in a daze,

Garp has thrown another punch!

Unlike that casual punch before,

This punch was imbued with jet-black Armament Haki.
