Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Preparing to Slip Away Chapter 188: Preparing to Slip Away Infinite Hell, in the gloomy dungeon. Bang! Garp’s headbutt slammed heavily into Luffy’s head, causing him to tilt his head back and spray blood from his nose. "Too weak, Luffy! Like this, how will you save Ace from me!" Garp roared angrily, and immediately followed up with a punch that fell like a meteor, piercing Luffy’s abdomen and smashing him into the ground, only to bounce back up! Bang!! The ground shattered into a deep pit, rubble flying everywhere. "Puwaah!" Luffy spat out a mouthful of blood, his pupils shrinking to pinpricks, feeling as if his consciousness was about to fly out of his body. But a strong will in his heart continuously stimulated him, causing power to surge from his already exhausted body! "Ace!" Luffy’s unfocused pupils regained their clarity. He grabbed Garp’s collar tightly and threw an angry punch! "I will definitely save him!!" Bang! Unconsciously, a touch of invisible black color imbued his arm. The fist struck the other’s cheek, squeezing the flesh together. Garp’s body was as unshakable as a mountain. He just turned his head to the side and spat out an arrow of blood. He grabbed Luffy’s neck in a reverse grip and raised his thick arm, gritting his teeth. Looking at the struggling, blood-soaked figure in his hand, the fist Garp held in the air trembled, a trace of intolerance showing in his eyes. This momentary hesitation was immediately seized upon as an opportunity. The War Ogre rushed to his side. Taking a large step that shattered the ground, its bent arm shot out like a cannonball, exploding on his chest! Bang!! Garp’s body spun like a propeller as he was sent flying backward at high speed. A white shadow immediately gave chase, arriving above him. Sukuna’s five fingers bent downwards and swiped fiercely. Several slashes appeared out of thin air, as if they would even cleave space itself. Squelch! Squelch! Squelch! A large amount of blood seemed to fly out as several shocking gashes appeared on the other’s sturdy body. Garp gritted his teeth, kicked out to force the opponent back, his head scraping against the ground as he plowed a trench dozens of meters long. "Vice Admiral Garp!" Seeing Garp injured, Bogard hurriedly looked over. Zoro, parrying his opponent’s two swords, was instantly displeased. "Hey, looking around during a fight? You’re looking down on me too much." "That’s right! Death WINK!!" Bang!! Ivankov’s large face appeared beside Bogard. His large eyes, with their long lashes, blinked. An invisible shockwave erupted from thin air, striking Bogard’s body and blasting him away! "Don’t get distracted, Bogard! I’m not that easy to kill," Garp said, standing up from the ground, letting the blood from the several sword wounds on his chest seep out and drip down. He crossed his arms, then extended them to his sides before resting them at his waist. Armament Haki imbued him once more, and his aura did not diminish in the slightest, as if those injuries had no effect on him at all. "What a pain," Reiner’s gaze couldn’t help but tighten. This was the only time so far they had managed to inflict any substantial damage on Garp. As a pure taijutsu powerhouse, the other was definitely top-tier when it came to being tough and thick-skinned. On his side, only the War Ogre and Sukuna could break through his defense in a frontal battle. Frieren and the Gun Devil were currently just scratching him; the power of their moves could barely break through his defense. In the future, I’ll have to get an Admiral’s template to strengthen Frieren. Before he could think further, Garp had already charged up again with his fists raised, yelling with a grin, "You’re ruthless, you brat! Don’t you know how to respect the old and cherish the young!" Dark red lightning flickered in and out of existence around his body as he once again displayed the technique of coating with Conqueror’s Haki. His fist seemed to grip the solidified air tightly. He puffed out his chest, arched his back, and punched out at Reiner from a distance! "Bone Fist Impact!!" A strong impact tore through space, forming a vacuum beam that shattered everything in its path. The War Ogre held its greatsword horizontally in front of Reiner, its arm veins bulging as it met the attack with a heavy downward chop! Boom!! The violent energy exploded, sending him flying. His flesh and skin tore open, and his bones continuously made cracking sounds. Garp skimmed across the ground at high speed. Although Reiner summoned the War Ogre before him again, the injuries on its body could not be repaired instantly. The deformed figure couldn’t even block for a second before being kicked away. Clang! A giant slash flew out! Garp’s arms were wrapped in Conqueror’s Haki. He reached out one hand, grabbed the flying slash, and with a sudden exertion of force, the sharp, green slash was crushed like glass! He followed up with a punch towards Sukuna, who was blocking his path, laughing savagely, "You rely too much on your abilities! It’s very dangerous if you get close!" Bang!! A heavy fist descended from above like a mountain, directly smashing the undead into a deep pit in the ground. Just as he raised his head to attack Reiner, a flicker of azure flame appeared before him, causing him to look momentarily stunned. Horns sprouted from his head, his body was cloaked in azure flames, and he exuded an aura of death. The face that had been calm and gentle suddenly became like that of a demon! "Surprised, you old bastard?!" Reiner’s expression was ferocious. He drew his fist to his waist, and a charged-up heavy punch landed unceremoniously on his face! Bang!! Garp’s head was thrown back by this heavy punch. He stomped his foot hard on the ground to steady himself. Reiner followed up by lifting his leg and kicking fiercely at the other’s chest, while at the same time using the force to leap backward! "Tekkai!" Bang! Garp’s blood surged through his body, making it as hard as steel as he took the kick head-on. His legs slid across the ground. Leaving two scorched black lines, he looked up with great interest. "Brat! Whatever other tricks you have, bring them out! If this is all you have, you’re in danger today!" "That’s not necessarily true." A corner of Reiner’s mouth lifted. "We didn’t come here to beat you, old man." As his voice fell, the air suddenly grew scorching hot. The dark space brightened slightly, and scorching flames swept out from the depths of the dungeon! "Fire Fist!!" Accompanied by a resonant shout, a fist formed from intertwined orange-red flames instantly engulfed Garp! A figure also leaped out from the depths of the corridor, crouching on top of a cell. Flames danced on his arms, shoulders, and other parts of his body. He looked down and smiled charmingly. "Yo, looks like the old man beat you up pretty bad again, Luffy." "A-Ace?!" Luffy stared for a moment, then became incredibly excited. "Great! This is great, Ace!!" Thud! Thud! Thud! "Now’s not the time to get emotional, Ace. If we don’t beat Garp, our outcome probably won’t change at all." The crisp sound of footsteps was accompanied by a deep, heavy voice. A blue fatty slowly walked out of the gloom. A pair of wooden clogs stepped forward. Jinbe came to Ace’s side and stopped, saying in a low voice: "Please allow this old one to lend you a hand. If I can stop this war, I would not hesitate to give my life." "I’m very grateful, Jinbe," Ace replied with a smile. Before they could exchange a few more words, a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire area, causing everyone to focus their gaze. "—Phew. One after another, I can’t believe you actually managed to free them. If I retreat, there will be no one here to stop you. I’m sorry, Luffy, Ace." Garp exhaled a puff of white smoke from his mouth. The last trace of a smile on his face had completely vanished. "Since you have chosen to live your own way, you should have known this day would come sooner or later. I will no longer hold back." Is he going all out? Reiner glanced around at the several people facing off. He suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, like the siege of Garp on Hachinosu. It’s a pity. He didn’t bring Koby. It won’t be easy to win. If they kept fighting, the Admiral would definitely arrive. It was time to prepare to slip away. He took out his Den Den Mushi from his pocket. The moment he dialed, it was immediately answered, as if the person on the other end had been waiting for him. "Moshi moshi! Reiner! Is it our turn to make an entrance?!" "Mm. Franky, Brook, get ready to move." (End of Chapter) ♧♧♧ We’ve hit 200 Power Stones goal As promised This week, here’s the bonus Chapter. Thank you for your support—please keep it coming!
