The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

"I just don't know what you're going to do, Garp~~~"

Not only Rayleigh, but also Issho next to him was staring intently at the big screen, seemingly waiting for Garp's decision.

"What?! Grandpa was a naval hero, and my father was a revolutionary leader, but they only achieved that by virtue of their fathers' legacy!"

Kidd looked disdainful and annoyed, arms crossed and pursing his lips.

Kira glanced at the cynical fellow but didn't say anything more.

The speed and power with which Luffy, the Straw Hat Puppet, sent Doberman flying just now were a testament to his genuine strength.

This is something that cannot be solved simply by having a good family background.

It must also include Straw Hat Luffy's own talent and hard work.

At least, Luffy's background, which Kid criticizes, doesn't seem to be the same as what everyone imagined, judging from the current appearance of Vice Admiral Garp.

One thing is certain: no matter how powerful Luffy's family background is, his own strength is definitely not bad.

At the very least, beating up that reckless captain of his shouldn't be a problem at all.

I estimate we could take on ten more...

Kira internally judged Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, quite rudely.

"Gurarararar, just as I thought~~~"

Whitebeard tossed the huge, charred rock stuck in his blade away, laughing unsurprisingly.

Monkey D. Luffy, Monkey D. Garp...

These two names are pretty obvious.

Whitebeard already had a pretty good idea of ​​Luffy's identity when he learned Luffy's full name.

Therefore, he specifically dispatched Marco and others to stop the four vice admirals for Luffy, all to create an excellent opportunity for Luffy to rescue Ace!

Because Whitebeard knew that on the execution platform, the most dangerous and difficult to overcome was not Sengoku, who was standing at the very top.

It was Garp, the "Iron Fist," on the high platform!!

If it were any of the squadron leaders on his ship, or even the fleet captain, or even if he himself went to rescue him, it would be very difficult to break through Garp's defenses.

But if it's Garp's own grandson...

So at least, their chances are much higher than those of these unfamiliar pirates.

This can be seen from Garp's performance in mid-air right now.

With a casual punch, he blasted away the surrounding navy, creating a vacuum in the area where he stood. Whitebeard then looked up, awaiting the final outcome of the encounter between the grandfather and grandson.

"Luffy……"

Garp's eyes were sunken, and his large eyes stared intently at him, looking extremely frightening!

"How can I step aside?! I'm a Vice Admiral from Naval Headquarters!!!"

Garp roared, his two hard, iron fists clenched tightly.

He bent down, arms outstretched, "If you want to get past here, you'll have to step over my dead body!!!"

"Straw Hat Boy, Luffy~!!!"

Garp had already set up the corresponding defensive measures in mid-air!

"grandfather……"

Upon seeing his closest relative, his grandfather, standing between him and Ace, Luffy bared his teeth and reluctantly refused:

"I don't want to kill you at all, and I want to go save Ace, please, Grandpa!!!"

"Stop being so willful!!"

Garp's knuckles creaked and groaned. "I've already said it: if you want to pass through here, kill me first!!!"

"This is the path you yourselves chose!!!"

He was spitting as he spoke, his manner as loud and clear as his voice.

"I... I can't do it, Grandpa!!!"

Luffy wanted to make one last desperate attempt, but Garp's next words shattered his illusions:

"If you can't bring yourself to do it, Ace is doomed!!"

This potentially cruel reality instantly brought Luffy to his senses.

"I do not want!!"

Luffy yelled and stuffed his arm into his mouth.

"Fourth gear!!!"

He bit down on the arm that had already transformed into Armament Haki and forcefully blew air into it.

In an instant, Luffy's body suddenly swelled up!

At the same time, strange patterns resembling the arabesque patterns of Devil Fruits appeared on his chest, interwoven with jet black and dark red!

Luffy's face was now ablaze with wild black hair, and his eyes had turned jet black, making him look like a warrior who had stepped out of the shadow world!

This is the "Muscle Balloon" fighting technique he developed over the past two hundred days, a new level of combat prowess, called "Gear Fourth"!

By compressing air into his body, Luffy gains elasticity and a massive size. In this state, Luffy possesses a strong, massive body and ample elasticity, even able to fly through the air using this elasticity.

In this state, Luffy's strength is enhanced across the board, making him faster than Gear Second and stronger in both power and defense than Gear Third!

Boom! Boom! Boom! !

After transforming into Gear Fourth, Luffy suddenly pulled his black legs into his knees.

The powerful jet-like thrust from his legs propelled Luffy's entire body forward, surging towards Garp's direction!

"That's it!!!"

Garp's eye twitched. "Life is full of disappointments!"

"I won't hold back either!!"

Having said that, Garp raised his two hardened, iron fists high.

"Luffy……"

Under Sengoku's indifferent gaze, and with the wide-eyed anticipation of the navy and pirates, awaiting the final outcome of this crucial battle...

"I will treat you as my complete enemy!!!"

Garp's iron fists, imbued with boundless domineering aura, crashed down.

"Rubber rubber... King Kong Boomerang!!!"

Luffy's elastic arm was instantly twisted into a pretzel shape.

Gritting his teeth, and with an indomitable spirit, he struck straight at Garp's face!

"Luffy……"

Looking at Luffy, who was so close yet had completely changed appearance.

However, in Garp's eyes, the scene of Luffy stealing food and pulling his own beard when he was a child was still vivid in his mind.

For some reason, at this moment, all those past memories rushed into my mind all at once.

Garp's pupils trembled incessantly...

"So you finally are..."

Those childhood memories flashed rapidly through his eyes as Luffy grew up.

At sixteen or seventeen, he clamored to go to sea and defeat so many great pirates in the East China Sea, which officially made him famous.

Then she went to the Grand Line, thwarted Crocodile's conspiracy and ambition, and then committed the heinous act of invading Enies Lobby, which led to her being reprimanded as well... and so on until now, at the Marineford War.

The speed and power of that punch that sent Doberman flying, along with the incredibly powerful application of advanced Armament Haki techniques.

"You've grown up, Luffy!!"

Garp slowly closed his eyes, and the unparalleled Armament Haki swirling around his fist instantly dissipated like melting ice and snow!

"Garp!!"

Sengoku, who was closest to Garp and could sense his condition, couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

"boom!!!"

The King Kong Spinning Bullet struck Garp squarely and accurately in the face.

377 The Golden Buddha!! Link and Akainu! Luffy turns his back on the one he trusts most!

This powerful punch instantly distorted Garp's face, which he had deliberately left unprotected with Armament Haki!

Poof~!

A flower splashes in the air.

Whoosh! ! !

Under such immense force, Garp was instantly sent flying backward.

And at an extremely fast speed, it hurtled towards the massive Marine Headquarters behind it!

But before he flew away from this location...

On Kapna's blood-soaked face, his eyes slowly opened to a slit.

When they saw Luffy still charging towards the execution platform without any hesitation, while Ace was shouting something loudly...

This vice admiral, who ultimately couldn't bring himself to kill his beloved grandson and spared the entire Grand Line, finally closed his eyes gently.

My body also slowed down, making no effort to resist, letting it free fall.

He had finally fulfilled his final "duty" in this war and could finally catch his breath.

As for the rest, whether Luffy can overcome Sengoku's obstacles and successfully rescue Ace is up to him.

"Lieutenant General Garp!!!"

When they saw Garp, the pillar of the Navy, being sent flying, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

The navy personnel were completely incredulous, while the pirates, after a moment of stunned silence, were filled with ecstatic joy.

This insurmountable barrier, which seemed insurmountable to pirates, was actually overcome by Straw Hat Luffy?!

"Gurararara, just as I thought, Garp!!!"

Whitebeard's laughter was extremely hearty; he had long anticipated this possibility.

In the original story, this is also why he ordered his sons to do everything they could to protect Luffy.

Only Luffy, Garp's grandson, could break through this strongest defense!

Garp, between your family (787) and your sense of justice and duty, you ultimately chose the former.

But Whitebeard didn't laugh; instead, he loudly agreed and said:

"It's nothing, but it's more important than family!!!"

Whitebeard, who valued his family above all else, understood Garp perfectly at this moment, and it was because of this that he knew Garp's final choice would definitely be this!

"Go, Straw Hat Boy!!!"

He swung his naginata, Murakumogiri, with a sudden, violent swing, tearing the very air with a mournful cry.

Whitebeard felt his long-dormant blood finally begin to boil!

"Straw Hat Boy..."

Akainu, who had originally wanted to stop Whitebeard, turned ashen-faced upon seeing this.

Without the slightest hesitation, he wanted to rush over and defeat Luffy.

However, at this moment, there was a considerable distance between him and the execution platform.

So he decisively raised his two magma arms high.

"Meteor Volcano!!!"

Scorching magma erupted from his arms like a meteor shower, a gigantic lava fist powerful enough to turn the earth into a sea of ​​molten lava, surging towards Luffy high in the sky and the execution platform in front of him!
