Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Lieutenant General Garp took another deep breath and squeezed his eyes shut.

'Why didn't you call for help? Even if you didn't ask me, at least when Whitebeard came, you should have responded in some way!'

'Could it be... that your only wish now is simply to die, to end the bloodline curse you've always hated?'

'If that's the case, Grandpa…'

'I've satisfied you. Grandpa will end this war now and let your execution proceed...'

Suddenly, when Vice Admiral Garp opened his eyes again, his gaze was no longer as nonchalant as usual, and there was no hesitation whatsoever.

The next moment, amidst the attention of everyone, Vice Admiral Garp, who had once arrested the "Pirate King" and suppressed an era with almost absolute power, bearing the titles of "Marine Hero" and "Strongest Marine," made his move!

"boom!"

Vice Admiral Garp's target isn't Whitebeard, but that one... Eustass Kid!

"Kid, it's about time this One Piece game ended!"

One punch!

With a single punch, Vice Admiral Garp blasted apart a massive iron ring weighing hundreds of tons. His terrifyingly powerful body ruthlessly traversed the terrifying magnetic field and electric current within the iron ring, seemingly unaffected in the slightest, heading straight for Kid, whose eyes had widened in disbelief.

But...it's terrifying!

In just a moment, Kidd, who had been so arrogant and domineering, realized that he probably couldn't withstand a punch from Vice Admiral Garp!

'Has he gone mad? Why has this old man suddenly become so enraged...?'

However, facing Vice Admiral Garp's seemingly unstoppable stance, Kidd did not run away. Instead, he placed the huge mirror in front of him, facing Vice Admiral Garp.

Could it be... some kind of special move?

Just as those who noticed this scene were beginning to speculate, Kidd left the huge mirror behind and retreated rapidly backward without hesitation, as if afraid that if he was even a little too late, it would be crushed.

The next moment, just as Vice Admiral Garp was somewhat puzzled by Kid's behavior, a huge arm suddenly stretched out from the mirror and casually slapped the iron wall, leaving a very clear handprint on the thick iron wall.

'And... this aura...'

Lieutenant General Garp abruptly stopped in front of the mirror, staring intently at the enormous surface, and whispered, "Charlotte... Linlin?!"

However, Charlotte Linlin, whom Vice Admiral Garp had anticipated, did not appear. Instead, a monster emerged from the mirror, its body enormous, comparable to a real giant, with twelve legs and its entire body almost entirely composed of bulging muscles...?!

At this moment, even Vice Admiral Garp felt that it was... a monster!

What alarmed Vice Admiral Garp even more was that, upon closer inspection, the monster's face, distorted with rage, vaguely revealed the outline of Charlotte Linlin.

"This is... troublesome..."

As soon as Vice Admiral Garp finished speaking, Charlotte Linlin, her eyes bloodshot and completely out of her mind, slammed her enormous hand down on him.

"boom!!"

The two brute forces collided without any fancy moves!

However, Vice Admiral Garp was directly slammed through the foothold on the floating iron wall and crashed heavily to the ground!

At this moment, Charlotte Linlin, whose appearance had drastically changed and whose body was filled with terrifying muscles, pounded her chest several times with her fists and let out a howl that chilled the world.

"mama~"

[Chapter 803. Garp vs. Charlotte & Lingling]

Originally, almost everyone thought that Vice Admiral Garp's intervention would signify the end of the war.

Charlotte Linlin, with a drastically changed appearance, appears in Marineford and slams Vice Admiral Garp to the ground with a single blow.

This moment was truly astonishing to the world!

"What...what kind of monster is this?!"

Some people who were quite familiar with "BIG MOM" Charlotte Linlin stared wide-eyed, their expressions incredulous.

Looking at Charlotte Linlin's face, which could be vaguely discerned, her body was several times larger than before, and her body, which used to be full of fat, was now almost entirely muscle, with a full twelve legs supporting her enormous body.

"Then...it wouldn't be BIG MOM, would it?"

Has BIG MOM completely turned into a monster?

"Hahaha, the war is definitely not going to end so easily. It's still a long way off. Those hypocritical and disgusting navy guys are probably in for a rough time!"

As some of the pirates watching the live stream discussed the event with varying expressions, Marineford fell into a brief silence as Charlotte Linlin's sharp and frantic screams echoed throughout the city.

“mamamama～～”

Charlotte Linlin's voice gradually subsided, her eyes, filled with almost tangible rage, swept over the Navy below, and her body, much larger than an ordinary giant, crashed into the battlefield.

"boom!!"

It was as if hundreds of artillery shells had exploded in one area at the same time; the shockwave from Charlotte Linlin's landing almost instantly sent the surrounding crowd flying.

Charlotte Linlin, on the other hand, began to wreak havoc on her surroundings, the unconscious power of the "Soul-Soul Fruit" spreading outwards and causing waves of fear in the souls.

And it kept grabbing people and stuffing them into its gaping maw, naked and blatant, like a mindless beast that only knew how to eat and was constantly filled with rage.

Even though almost all the marines gathered at Marineford were elites, their morale was on the verge of collapse when faced with a monster like Charlotte Linlin.

"Why... even though I used Haki, why can't I break through this monster's defenses..."

"No...no..."

"Run! How could we possibly defeat this monster?"

"It...it swallowed it..."

"This kind of sacrifice is meaningless. I...I don't want to be eaten..."

In an instant, under Charlotte Linlin's almost overwhelming and terrifying power, a large number of marines began to flee in fear.

Among the naval personnel who were trying to escape Charlotte Linlin one after another, a slightly thin, pink-haired young naval officer was trembling as he tried to grip his naval sword, his eyes wide open, muttering something to himself.

"No...we can't escape..."

However, the pink-haired boy's weak voice sounded incredibly faint among the collapsing morale of the navy, which was beginning to scatter; it was so faint that no one could hear it.

Even more surprisingly, the pink-haired boy from the navy was pushed to the ground by the fleeing crowd.

"Don't block the way, you bastard..."

Finally, the pink-haired boy from the Navy, whose emotions had been building up to their limit, suddenly scrambled up from the ground and roared.

"If even the navy runs away, then who will stop this monster?!"

In an instant, the voice of the pink-haired boy from the Navy spread outwards!

That firm yet youthful voice clearly reached the ears of the surrounding sailors, causing those who were instinctively fleeing out of fear to pause for a moment, and also attracting Charlotte Linlin's attention!

"Bang bang bang..."

Charlotte Linlin's twelve legs ran wildly across the ground, and almost instantly a terrifying shadow loomed over the pink-haired young navy boy, his gaping maw seemingly muttering something unconsciously.

“Spirit…soul…pure…I want…”

The next moment, Charlotte Linlin's hand, almost the size of a basketball court, enveloped the pink-haired young navy boy.

The pink-haired young naval officer stared back with a fearful yet resolute gaze, his hands gripping his naval sword tightly as he muttered something under his breath.

"We can't escape...we can't escape..."

"You're going to become a Fleet Admiral, you're going to become a great naval figure like Vice Admiral Yann..."

"Don't you even have the resolve to die on the path of justice? You cannot dishonor the name of justice!!!"

In the end, the pink-haired young navy boy gripped his naval sword even tighter, his youthful face revealing a determination and resolve to face death!

However, at that moment, Vice Admiral Garp's burly and robust figure suddenly appeared in front of the pink-haired young Marine, and he threw a simple punch at Charlotte Linlin's palm.

"boom!!"

The enormous shockwave spread outwards in a ring almost instantly, and the earth even cracked extensively under the collision of these two terrifying forces.

"mama～～"

Charlotte Linlin's massive body swayed, and she staggered back several steps from the force of the impact.

justice!

The word "Justice" appeared before the pink-haired young navy man, fluttering in the aftershocks of his cape.

The next moment, Vice Admiral Garp tore off the "Justice" cloak from his back and threw it at the pink-haired young marine behind him, and said.

"Kirby!"

"Yes!" Koby replied hastily as he picked up his cloak.

"Well done, and well said. You've captured Charlotte Linlin's attention and bought her a lot of valuable time!"

Vice Admiral Garp spoke earnestly, his tone revealing undisguised satisfaction. "However, this kind of battle is too early for you. Leave it to me."

"Yes!"

Coby immediately retreated without hesitation, to avoid hindering Vice Admiral Garp's battle.

Immediately, Vice Admiral Garp focused his attention entirely on Charlotte Linlin, who had almost completely transformed into a monster.

"How ugly, Charlotte Linlin!"

However, Charlotte Linlin seemed to have completely lost even the basic ability to communicate. Instead, after being stopped by Vice Admiral Garp, her anger surged and her terrifying figure seemed to expand again, suddenly slamming towards Vice Admiral Garp once more.

"boom!"

In an instant, Vice Admiral Garp and Charlotte Linlin, two muscular monsters, clashed head-on without any fancy moves, attracting everyone's attention to a great extent.

Vice Admiral Garp, the "Hero of the Navy," versus Charlotte Linlin, one of the "Four Emperors."

Without a doubt, this is one of the world's top battles!

[Chapter 804. The so-called... "Iron Fist"!]

Even though the visual effects of the battle between Vice Admiral Garp and Charlotte Linlin were far less exaggerated than the combined efforts of Sakazuki and Kuzan in suppressing Whitebeard, the sheer intensity of the pure muscle clashes and the brutal, flesh-and-blood combat far surpassed the battle on Whitebeard's side.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Despite the extreme difference in size between the two, with Vice Admiral Garp even smaller than Charlotte Linlin's finger at this moment, Vice Admiral Garp's full power and his Armament Haki, which can be described as the pinnacle of the ocean, proved what the ultimate is!

This also proves that the strongest person in the world doesn't necessarily need Conqueror's Haki; Armament Haki alone is enough!

"Iron Fist!"
