"Of course it's your grandpa."

"Of course it's me."

Kapuzefa replied almost at the same time.

Ace Luffy was stunned, and Garp grinned. He immediately stood up, strode out of the square, and headed towards the front of the fortress.

The white cloak of justice was fluttering in the wind, and Zefa looked at Garp's leaving back, shook his head and smiled, obviously taking it for granted and without any objection.

after all.

Even when he was young, his strength was slightly inferior to Garp, not to mention that now that he has been relegated to the second line for a long time, his physical fitness has declined severely, and the gap in strength between him and Garp, who has always been stronger, has widened even further.

Now that a strong enemy appears on the front battlefield, it is natural for him to continue to sit in the rear. It is more suitable for Garp, who is more powerful, to head overhead.

Come on, grandpa!

Luffy, who was on his pony, clenched his little fists and watched Garp go away. Then he looked up at the Sky Island Duel on the left screen, secretly encouraging himself.

Uncle Nuoxia, you have to work hard too!

Even if you have a broken arm and use a prosthetic limb, that old man with a white beard will definitely not be your opponent and you will definitely win him!!!

…

Boom!

On the empty island, there was a muffled sound, thunder exploded, and the sea of ​​clouds rolled.

In the diffuse dust and smoke, the figures of Nuoxia and Whitebeard appeared.

From early morning to noon, the duel between the two had lasted for several hours, and the balance of victory and defeat had obviously tilted.

Nuo Xia looked calm at this moment, standing with a sword in his hand. There were almost no traces left by the fight on his body, and the few wounds healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The white beard on the opposite side, although still tall and tall, was panting violently. There were large sword marks on his shoulders and abdomen that were difficult to ignore. The right hand holding the sword was also trembling slightly. The tiger's mouth was cracked and blood was flowing.

Come out with a gurgle.

"You are getting old after all, Whitebeard."

Nuo Xia spoke coldly, her voice was as smooth as ever, "In twenty years... no, even if it was ten years ago, it wouldn't be that easy for me to defeat you, but now, your time has finally passed.

.”

"Gu la la la..."

Whitebeard was still grinning, smiling lowly, "Then I still say the same thing, a kid is a kid, you never know how high the sky is."

"In my opinion, your big talk..."

He stood up straight again and tightened his grip on the sword in his hand, "It's still too early!"

Click!

With one slash of the knife, the void in front of him instantly twisted and cracked, as if it had become fragile like glass.

But the countless shattered glass stubbles did not stop. Instead, they were like sharp blades, rustling, and then, guided by the sharp wind at the tip of the blade, they shrouded Noxia's head!

"This kind of trick doesn't work anymore!"

Nuo Xia remained calm. In an instant, he slashed out dozens of sword energy, and poured in the surging power of thunder. In an instant, all the sword energy was connected into a majestic and vast blue dragon.

roar!!!

The giant blue dragon roared up to the sky, shot out, and easily swallowed up all the void fragments, making the land above the sky return to peace again.

"Down there, something unexpected happened."

Nuo Xia glanced down, then looked at Whitebeard, who was panting more and more seriously, "You should have noticed it, so I think this duel should have ended here."

"Hey……"

Whitebeard grinned, but didn't say anything.

They are all smart people, so he naturally understood the meaning of Nuo Xia's words. Although the previous duel was extremely intense, it had not yet reached the point where he had to use all his cards to fight to the death.

If the fight continues like this, no matter what the outcome is, Whitebeard firmly believes that with his strong physique and recovery ability, there will be no problem in delaying the fight until at least the evening.

But now, the overall situation has changed. Nuo Xia, who is on the opposite side, obviously doesn't want to give himself the chance to delay anymore.

"Then try it, boy!"

Whitebeard suddenly took a deep breath, shouted loudly, and his body twisted and trembled. Immediately, he saw that the wounds on his body were healing at a terrifying speed, and he could even see the wriggling of the muscle tissue inside.

And the aura on his body became strong and thick again.

A familiar scene...

Nuo Xia's eyes moved slightly. When he had a fierce battle with Big Mom in Beihai and forced the opponent into a desperate situation, he felt this feeling like a strong man breaking his wrist.

This time, Whitebeard also wants to completely burn out the remaining energy in his body and make a last-ditch effort in an overloaded state?

Snap!

Whitebeard landed heavily on the ground, clenched the sword tightly, held his head high, and his eyes were full of fierce fighting spirit.

The momentum rising all over his body has become a reality, as terrifying as an ancient beast that has been crawling for a long time.

I have been working in the sea for decades, and I have come step by step to where I am today.

Time was so long ago that his memory was somewhat blurred, forgetting exactly when it happened. The orphan boy who went to sea because he was bullied and couldn't survive in his hometown gradually gained the title of the strongest man in the world.

And now, is someone finally going to take this title away from him?

No!

It’s not that easy yet!

It's never that easy!!!

Whitebeard laughed loudly.

"Come!"

At this moment, the old man with white beard and hair seemed to have returned to his peak period.

The figure who once competed with the Pirate King Roger, who once conquered the sea and made the navy tremble with fear, at this moment, in the pouring rain, gradually approached him until they completely overlapped.
