The exaggerated power made Kizaru sigh during the battle.
"Oh my, what terrifying power, don't you think, Marco?"
Blue wings deflected Kizaru's light sword. Marco didn't strike back but instead focused on bewildering his opponent, as he was already completely overwhelmed by Kizaru. If he got distracted and gave his opponent a chance, the outcome could be decided in an instant.
Moreover, when he followed his father to fight against Roger's pirate group, he occasionally witnessed such amazing battles.
The gusts of wind knocked down many marines and pirates, leaving them stunned. This exaggerated power wasn't due to a fruit ability but rather a sheer conqueror's clash.
"Marineford has split."
Today, the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, but they scattered instantly. Could a man really achieve that?
"This is truly a battle between high-level experts. This must be fake, right?"
"Sar and Garp separated at the same time. The even clash made them both smile simultaneously, their fighting spirit grew even stronger. It was a long-lost battle.
At the same time, Sengoku, who was fighting against Whitebeard, was not in the best mood, and he asked Garp to stop Roger instead of sinking Marineford. If those two continue acting so recklessly, Marineford will surely be sunk by them.
And that scoundrel Roger, if he knew he wasn't dead, he wouldn't use Ace as a target, creating such an awkward situation for the navy.
The young Pirate King should be the priority for execution, and mentioning the Pirate King's son would be unnecessary. Whitebeard, the world's strongest man, was suffering from illness. If he was left alone for a few more years, he would retire on his own.
The more Sengoku thought about it, the more unfortunate he felt. He even wanted to scold the intelligence department of the World Government: they've infiltrated the navy so deeply that it's full of holes, so why can't they find even a dead man? Sengoku shouted:
"Garp, you scoundrel, are you trying to destroy Marineford?"
Garp also felt helpless and instinctively used all his strength to greet Roger, just as he used to do when meeting him before. He didn't expect Marineford to be so fragile after being shaken by Whitebeard.
At this time, the perimeter of the deep pit formed by their confrontation forced the surrounding fleet and pirates to make a detour. They were afraid that if they weren't careful, they would suffer and die without a burial place.
Garp saw the bodies of marines lying on the ground and felt pity for the victims, but excessive caution during the battle would only hinder him, so he continued to attack Sel with a dark-red powerful fist
: "Roger, I won't let you pass."
"Garp, when will you try doing that?"
Thrall suddenly appeared in front of Garp, and Ace's blade struck directly at the vital part of the neck, while Garp dodged to the side, and his solid fist also landed squarely on the enemy's head
.
The initial shadows and knives continued clashing, and terrifying dark-red thunder kept booming. Just when the blade went through Garp's waist, someone's fist suddenly struck Thrall in the shoulder
Despite Thrall having used all his weapons in advance to protect his shoulders, the horrifying power of the fist still made him roll back hundreds of meters, and a thick layer of dirt formed under his feet
Garp casually wiped the blood from his waist, and the long knife wound quickly stopped bleeding despite the surrounding muscles being bloodied and blurred after the destroyer's attack, Thrall knew about Garp's unusual physique and his dominance, and this injury was only superficial, on the other hand,
Thrall's injury was slightly more serious than Garp's; after all, the opponent's fist was not light
It must be said that Garp is quite the anomaly. He is also 76 years old, yet he still retains his peak strength, and I don't know how long it will be before his powers decline.
On the other hand, other strong men of the same age, like the Golden Lion, Sengoku, Whitebeard, and even Rayleigh, entered a period of declining strength around the age of 70, yet he is still very strong
Suddenly, a system notification of level-up was heard, and it occurred three times in a row
Since the battle with Garp until today, the system had accumulated a huge amount of experience
[Character SS Shanks feels normal emotions towards the host, moderate surprise, and increases the experience points by 30,000]
[Character SS Barrett feels normal emotions towards the host, high level of surprise, and increases the experience points by 50,000]
[Characters of S and SS level feel normal emotions towards the host, elementary and medium surprise (hostility), increasing the experience points by 87,543]

[Characters of class C and D feel normal emotions towards the host, elementary and medium surprise (hostility), increasing the experience points by 893,231]
[Total experience: 156 million]
[Level up: Level 75 (237,354/650,000) +19]
[Agility: Maximum (Total) Blessing]
This update gave Thrall, who was a bit dispirited, newfound confidence, and the improvement in his physical form almost healed his minor injuries.
"Thank you very much, Cap."
"???"
This confused Garp, who was already ready to leave, as to why he was being thanked for no apparent reason.
The credit for this update largely goes to Garp and Sengoku, who initially considered the identity of Sel as Roger to be final. Only Whitebeard called Sel Roger, which led ordinary spectators to half-believe, half-doubt. After all, it could have been a lie told by Whitebeard to maintain morale.
But now, with both Garp and Sengoku having uttered the name "Roger," it served as official confirmation that Sel is not a clone of Roger, and that the Pirate King Roger is truly alive, rejuvenated and appearing in the main war.
In the eyes of many ambitious people, this strange scene could be the secret of the legendary great treasure.
In addition to thanking Sengoku and Garp, the system's prompt showcased a few interesting individuals.
Among the emotions of SS-level characters, there are three people Sel cares about: Shanks and Barrett, as well as Wang Zhi, who is hiding on the Hive Island. The first two are former members of Roger's crew, both young people whom Roger admires the most. This person is also a long-standing rival of Roger, though he's somewhat timid.
In the system prompt, Shanks' moderate surprise is to be expected, but Barrett's strong surprise was a bit unexpected. If you refer to the original story, you might understand that his obsession with Roger is extremely strong.
With the Golden Lion ahead and Barrett behind, Roger's allure for men is simply indescribable.
Relaxing his muscles, Thrall removed the jacket that was somewhat in the way and, once again fully energized, aimed his sword at the enemy.
"Garp, the second round has just begun."
The opponent reached maximum speed, making Garp feel strange, but he was now so excited that nothing else concerned him.
Garp shrugged off his battered official jacket, revealing his shirt, and rolled up his sleeves.
"Roger, let's continue."
