Chapter 287 How strong is Garp?
Bartolomeo frowned, because he didn't want to join Will's Vitality Pirates. He wanted to join the Straw Hat Pirates and become a captain under them.
Just like the captains under Whitebeard.
But he also understood.
If someone like Will invites you, and you refuse, it will probably be misunderstood by the locals as a slap in the face.
Will face a strong attack from the opponent.
Although he was very confident in his fruit ability, he did not want to fight against an emperor-level figure at this time.
"Why don't you want to?"
Will saw Bartolomeo's hesitation.
At the same time, he complained in his mind: "Is he not as good as that idiot Luffy? I have to say, he is really a brainless fan!"
"Ah this..."
Bartolomeo didn't know how to respond for a moment. However, he soon made a decision. But just as he was about to speak, the door was pushed open again.
"Click..."
A very sturdy old man walked in.
"Ok?"
Will raised his eyebrows, because he found that the aura of the guy who came in was a bit absurd. What shocked him most was that before he came in.
Although he had sensed it with his observation Haki, he treated him as an ordinary person.
This is great.
This was something he had never seen or encountered since he awakened his ability to see and hear!
So, in shock and surprise, he turned around and looked at the person who came.
This is a tall, broad-chested, muscular old man. There is a scar on his left eye. His eyes are blue and he has short gray hair. He usually likes to wear a dog-head hat and a navy "Justice" cloak with black and red shoulder pads.
It was obviously a navy.
And looking at the epaulettes on his cloak, he is a lieutenant general.
Everyone present couldn't help but become nervous.
Because the visitor is too famous.
Although he is not as popular as Will now, his fame has spread all over the world.
His name is Monkey D. Cap.
Who is Monkey D. Kapp?
The Vice Admiral of the Naval Headquarters is a legendary figure in the Navy.
He had pushed the Pirate King Roger into desperate situations several times. Thirty-eight years ago, he became a hero of the navy because he single-handedly blocked the attack of the Rocks Pirates in the Valley of the Gods, protected the Celestial Dragons and the people, and joined forces with Roger to destroy the entire pirate group.
He is known as "Hero Garp" and "Iron Fist Garp".
It can be said that since the Roger era, Sengoku and Garp have been leading the navy's front line. After the end of the Battle of Marineford, they retired but retained their military ranks and retreated to the second line to train marines at the headquarters.
He is also the only one in the entire navy who possesses the domineering Haki.
Although, he has always been just a lieutenant general.
However, his status and power are definitely above those of the three generals.
Although Garp always drinks tea, eats donuts and looks like he is doing nothing, he is hailed as a hero. In fact, he is a man of both wisdom and courage, with a long-term vision and a very accurate grasp of the world's trends. As the marshal, Sengoku often seeks him out to discuss various situations.
But the most amazing thing is his interpersonal relationships.
Monkey D. Dragon, his filial son.
Because he advocates revolutionary ideas to overthrow the world government, he is identified by the government as "the world's most vicious criminal" and is considered the only leader of the revolutionary army that can directly overthrow the rule of the world government.
He grew stronger with the idea of freedom, overthrew dozens of kingdoms in succession, and became the number one criminal of the World Government.
Monkey D. Luffy, his filial grandson.
Like his father, he has taken the opposite path from Garp, which is a headache for him. However, whenever Luffy does something big and is reported in the newspaper, he will proudly say "You are worthy of being my grandson". Although he is very strict with Luffy, he loves him very much in his heart.
Portgas D. Ace, his adopted grandson, is also a very filial grandson.
He was the son that his old rival Roger asked him to protect. He wanted to train Ace to be a marine, but Ace became a pirate and followed Whitebeard.
Comrades, Warring States
A comrade-in-arms of the same period as Garp, he has a very good relationship with Garp. When they were young, the two of them were monsters that made pirates tremble in fear.
Enemy/Friend
Gol D. Roger
The two are old rivals who have fought for decades and have long been both enemies and friends. When Roger was dying, he entrusted his son to Garp and asked him to take care of him.
Disciple, Kirby
Coby is Garp's apprentice. When escorting Monka, Coby's desire to save his friend moved Garp, who accepted him as his apprentice.
Disciple, Bellumebo
Like Coby, he joined the navy when escorting Monka and became one of Garp's disciples.
Former number one, disciple Kuzan
The former admiral of the Marine Headquarters and Garp's disciple, Kuzan respected Garp very much. Because of this, Kuzan spared Garp's grandson Luffy many times.
After quitting, he became a pirate and became an enemy of Garp.
It can be said that except for Sengoku, there are also Coby, Bellemere, and other close relatives, all standing against him.
In other words, he is strong enough inside, otherwise he would have collapsed long ago.
In other words, his reputation is high enough and his strength is strong enough, otherwise he would have been dealt with by the World Government long ago.
His last appearance was to rescue Coby.
In order to save the future Coby of the Navy, he led people to rescue and had a big battle with his eldest apprentice Aokiji Kuzan. In the first round, Garp won directly and completely ignored the freezing ability of Aokiji Kuzan's devil fruit.
Then Garp and Aokiji Kuzan had a second round. Aokiji Kuzan is worthy of being a man who once competed for the position of Marine Admiral. In addition to the freezing ability of the Devil Fruit, he also possesses the ability of Conqueror's Haki.
This is also thanks to Garp. Aokiji Kuzan learned from him. The two of them even used a warship as a sandbag for practice. You know, a navy warship is expensive. It is really a luxury for Garp and Aokiji Kuzan to have this treatment when practicing boxing. However, in the second round, Garp not only fought with Aokiji Kuzan with a strong fist, but also encountered interference from other cadres of the Black Group.
Yuxi used the invisibility fruit to sneak up to Garp and stabbed him in the back with the sword in her hand. Avalo Pizarro and Basque Chot also joined the battle. Garp was fighting against four cadres of the Black Group alone. He was invincible. He was worthy of being a man who could rival Roger. The two sides fought for an unknown period of time before Garp fell to the ground.
When Garp fell to the ground, many comic fans believed that Garp had lost and was likely to die, and even began to promote the strength of Yuxi or the power of Aokiji.
But even though Garp is old, his heroism is fading, and his strength is not as strong as it was at his peak, he can still fight four alone, which shows that he is still as terrifying as ever.
The most important thing is that in the one-on-four battle, he also beat Yuxi and Aokiji. Although Yuxi used the invisibility fruit to complete the sneak attack and caused damage to Garp, the injured Garp slapped him in the face, and the palm power was strong enough that Yuxi didn't even have the courage to fight him head-on.
