bdsm-fiction 44. Infinite Fist and Bone!
44. Infinite Fist and Bone!
Both of them charged up at the same time!
On Garp's fist, the density of black and red lightning reached an unprecedented level, even beginning to spread fine black cracks into the surrounding space! It was space itself groaning!
"Infinite Fist Bone—!!!"
Garp roared and unleashed a punch he hadn't used in years!
That was... the ultimate technique that once defeated the legendary pirate Rocks!
In an instant, Garp seemed to have thrown dozens, even hundreds of punches!
Countless black fist shadows, wreathed in flames and Conqueror's Haki lightning, converged in the air, their power layered upon layer!
Wherever the fist passed, the seawater evaporated, the air distorted, and space trembled!
The so-called Infinite Fist Bone is a technique that unleashes all power in an instant, as if countless punches are thrown simultaneously! It's the strongest punch that consumes all of your domineering aura in a single moment!
"Come--!!!"
An unprecedented light of excitement shone in Nuozhan's eyes!
Faced with this earth-shattering blow, he held nothing back, channeling all his power into his right fist, his muscles swelling to their limit, and then—
Simple and straightforward, just one punch!
There was no domineering presence, no fancy techniques.
Only pure, ultimate power!
boom----!!!
The moment the torrent of black fists collided with Norton's fist, time seemed to stand still for a split second.
next moment--
Click, click—!!!
Countless cracks appeared on the surface of the black torrent, and then it shattered before everyone's incredulous eyes!
Norton's punch crushed the "Infinite Fist Bone" with overwhelming force, and its momentum did not diminish, landing solidly on Garp's crossed arms as he blocked!
"Ughhhhhh!!!"
Garp spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye!
boom!
boom!
Garp crashed through the hulls of two warships like a cannonball, finally slamming into the rocky wall at the edge of Loguetown's harbor!
The entire harbor wall collapsed completely!
The last dock area of Loguetown sank into the sea with a deafening roar!
Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, obscuring the area.
The sea was deathly silent.
All the naval personnel stood frozen in place, their faces ashen.
Vice Admiral Garp...lost?
"Is it... over?"
Bucky's jaw dropped to the deck, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
Zeff, leaning on his prosthetic leg, remained silent for a long time.
Kro adjusted his glasses.
"This is... the King we follow!"
however--
Whoosh!
Amidst the collapsed ruins, a figure rises from the seabed.
Garp was covered in blood, his right arm was bent unnaturally, and the wound on his chest was so deep that the bone was visible.
But he still stood there, his eyes still burning with an indomitable fighting spirit.
"Kapp-chan!"
Gion, who had somehow risen from the seabed, stood between Norton and Garp, with Kinpira positioned in front of him.
Although his hand holding the knife was trembling slightly, his eyes were incredibly resolute.
"Step back, Gion."
Garp spoke in a hoarse voice, pulling Gion behind him.
"Lead the marines to retreat... I'll stop this man."
"But--!"
"At your command!"
Garp's roar carried an undeniable authority.
"Let's stop making unnecessary sacrifices! The lives of this new generation of young people... are the hope for the future of the Navy!"
He raised his head, a ferocious yet heroic smile appearing on his blood-stained face: "Even if everyone attacked together... they couldn't threaten him. That's my judgment."
Garp's eyes were incredibly clear.
The silver-haired man before me... is a peerless villain who can kill even Celestial Dragons at will.
Continuing the fight will only lead to the complete annihilation of this elite naval force.
Since that's the case—
He'll use his old life, which he's already lived long enough, to give young people a chance at survival!
however--
"Who said I was going to kill you?" Norton suddenly laughed.
"What...did you say?" Gion was stunned.
Karp stared at Norton in astonishment: "What do you mean? You're going to let me go? Are you humiliating me?!"
"I plan to take Ace under my wing," Norton said casually. "If I kill you, my grandfather, things will get complicated in the future."
"What?!" Gion was struck dumb, turning sharply to look at Garp. "Fire Fist Ace is... Garp-chan's grandson?!"
Garp's expression changed drastically: "You...how did you know?!"
Although he wasn't Garp's biological grandson, Garp had long regarded Ace as his own grandson.
But if Norton knows a deeper secret... such as Ace's father's identity, it means that Ace's future situation will be extremely dangerous!
Garp had tried so hard to keep this secret hidden for so long, but it still ended up being exposed! Although he had expected it...
"I don't like explaining," Norton waved his hand. "Anyway, take your men and get out of here. Unless you want to be wiped out."
He glanced at Garp, who had lost his fighting ability, and then looked at Gion, who was on high alert, a mocking smile curving his lips.
"You, already in this state, don't think you can take on me with just one woman, do you?"
Karp stared intently at Norton for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha...cough, cough cough!" He laughed until he coughed up blood, yet he still laughed heartily. "Damn brat...too arrogant!"
"So what?" Norton laughed too.
Karp gave Norton a deep look.
"Let's go...to Gion."
"But Mr. Garp, about Ace—"
"That's an order!"
"……yes."
After helping the heavily injured Garp to his feet, Gion gave Norton one last deep look before turning and using Moonwalk to rush towards the Navy flagship.
"Retreat the entire army!"
"Is he just leaving like that?!"
"Damn it! I'm so unwilling to accept this!"
"There's no other way. No one can stand up to that man! Silver-haired Norton is a true monster!"
Suppressing their resentment, the navy ships began to turn around and retreat in an orderly fashion.
Meanwhile, in the town of Rogge.
A blazing flame broke free from the relentless white smoke that was chasing after it.
Flames fell on a rooftop, and Ace's figure emerged from the flames.
He stood on the charred rooftop, gazing at the gradually calming battlefield in the direction of the port, his face grave.
"The battle is over... the old man..."
"Flame bastard! Don't run!"
Behind them, Smoker, in the form of white smoke, came chasing after them.
Ace glanced back and adjusted his hat brim: "Enough, Smoke Man. You've already... failed."
No matter how you look at it, the navy was defeated, as evidenced by the fact that only a few warships remained and began to retreat.
Norton won this battle!
Smoker stood on the ruins, his face ashen, watching the retreating naval fleet, then glancing at the Logia-type Devil Fruit user before him, before finally gritting his teeth.
With his Jutsu taken away by Norton, he lost his means of dealing with Logia-type Devil Fruit users and had no way to deal with Ace.
While Smoker hesitated and worried, Ace had already taken the opportunity to transform into flames and escape, disappearing without a trace.
Smoker was left standing there, speechless for a long time.
A moment later, Smoker took out a cigar, lit it, and took a deep drag. White smoke rose into the air above the ruins.
Unbeknownst to anyone, an albatross quietly disappeared into the sea of clouds above Rogge Town.
