Seeing Garp leaping through the air, Ace was momentarily stunned.
"Old man? Why is he here?"
"Hmph! Hero Garp!"
Teach was shocked to see Garp appear. He wasn't ready to face such a terrifying figure!
"Rustle, rustle, rustle!!"
At that moment, an eerie sound filled the surroundings as the carnivorous vines that Ace had destroyed with his Flame Emperor started rapidly regrowing.
In an instant, they had returned to their dense, forest-like state.
"What kind of terrifying plant is this!"
Teach's eyes trembled. He knew how powerful Ace's Flame Emperor was.
Yet, even such a powerful attack couldn't destroy these vines.
It made him deeply afraid.
"This is the plant monster Sengoku mentioned? How strange!"
Garp watched the vines growing towards him, a confident smile on his face as he raised his fist.
"No matter what kind of monster it is, it will be crushed by my fist!"
Garp concentrated all his power into his fist, compressing an overwhelming amount of Armament Haki.
"Iron Fist Smash!"
Garp unleashed a punch, creating a terrifying shockwave that descended like a meteor.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!!"
A series of violent explosions erupted.
Faced with Garp's Iron Fist, the carnivorous vines were obliterated, and even the ground below was collapsing.
Garp's sheer brute force had created a massive crater!
"Ughhh!!"
Teach spat blood as he was thrown into the air, experiencing immense pain.
The Dark-Dark Fruit absorbed everything, making him feel three times the normal amount of pain.
Garp's full-force attack was already unbearable, but enduring it at triple the intensity was devastating. If it didn't kill him, it would leave him crippled!
Garp smiled at his handiwork, but his expression quickly changed.
The carnivorous vines were rapidly regenerating, filling the crater and growing towards Garp!
"Damn it, Sengoku was right. Their regenerative ability is terrifying. I thought he was exaggerating."
Garp's face turned serious. He had never encountered a creature that could survive his full-force attack.
"Kuzan! It's your turn!"
Garp shouted, and a pale blue figure swiftly approached from the sea, reaching the island.
"Ice Age!"
It was Aokiji. Upon landing, he unleashed a massive amount of cold air, instantly freezing numerous vines.
"Freezing an entire island is tough."
Aokiji took a deep breath and released more cold air.
The intense cold spread like a tornado, gradually freezing more and more vines.
The remaining vines sensed the threat and attacked Aokiji.
Though some vines were frozen, others continued to get closer.
"Fist Bone!"
At that moment, Garp intervened, unleashing a barrage of powerful air cannon punches, destroying any vines approaching Aokiji, ensuring he could continue freezing them.
With Garp's assistance, Aokiji's cold spread across the entire island, freezing all the carnivorous vines.
"Iron Fist Smash! Chain!"
Seeing the frozen vines, Garp unleashed a flurry of punches.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The ground erupted in explosions as if struck by falling meteors, causing the island to tremble violently.
The frozen carnivorous vines were shattered by the impact.
The terrifying vitality of the vines was evident as they began regenerating immediately, but Aokiji's continuous cold kept them frozen.
In no time, the once dense forest of carnivorous vines had become sparse.
Finally, peace returned.
Thousand Sunny.
"Oh my god, so this is the true power of Aokiji and Luffy's grandfather?"
Zoro couldn't stay calm, his eyes trembling as he watched.
They had fought Aokiji before and were completely overpowered. If Aokiji had been serious, none of them would have survived! But the most shocking was Garp's strength. Creating such destruction with bare fists—this was the true power of the Navy hero! Everyone else was equally stunned, too shocked to even breathe.
"Luffy, did you know your grandfather was this strong?"
Usopp asked Luffy, trembling. If Garp had been serious before, they wouldn't have escaped even with the Cannon Wind!
"This is the first time I've seen it too."
Luffy struggled to control his expression. He now realized how amazing it was that he had survived under his grandfather's care.
The comments on the screen were exploding.
Nick Fury: "What's with that old man! How does he have such terrifying power? Is he also a Devil Fruit user?"
Nick Fury's question echoed the curiosity of people from other worlds. After seeing Aokiji's freezing power, they weren't as shocked, but Garp's raw power was beyond comprehension.
Sengoku: "Of course not, Garp is a strong man who has trained his body to the extreme. He's not a Devil Fruit user."
Tony Stark: "Training his body? You've got to be kidding! How can a human be that strong!"
Zoro: "What's impossible about that? With enough training, it's achievable."
Son Goku: "Exactly. My friends can do that too. This old man is amazing; I'd love to fight him."
Tsunade: "Causing such destruction with just fists? That's like me."
Bruce Wayne: "What? Humans in your universe can train to that level!"
Bruce Wayne's pupils dilated as he watched.
He had trained rigorously, mastering various martial arts, controlling his diet, and pushing his body to its limits, thinking he had reached the peak of human capability.
But Garp's power was beyond reason, and others in his universe, and even in other worlds, found it normal.
"Humans from different universes vary so greatly!"
Bruce Wayne realized the vast differences between universes, feeling overwhelmed by fear.
Marvel, SHIELD.
Nick Fury's face was unreadable. Garp's destructive power was far beyond that of the Hulk, who had caused so much trouble recently. Was this really humanly possible?
"Can humans be trained to such an extent?"
Nick Fury looked questioningly at Natasha and Hawkeye, SHIELD's top martial artists, expecting their input.
Natasha and Hawkeye both shook their heads. In their view, even if they trained for a thousand years, they could never reach Garp's level.
