Chapter 254 Garp's Outburst
Chapter 254 Garp's Outburst
Let's look at the others. Take Zoro's mentor, Koushirou, for example. As soon as Zoro rose to fame, he was immediately "invited" away by the Navy. In comparison...
To be honest, if Garp were truly a brainless person, he would probably have already become a prisoner of the Navy, or even lost his life.
But the truth is that, with his wisdom and experience, he skillfully remained steadfast amidst various complex situations.
How can one not look at such a person with new respect?
"Hahaha……"
Just then, Garp's previously furious expression vanished without a trace, replaced by a hearty laugh. The laughter, as loud as a booming bell, echoed around, drawing everyone's attention.
As the laughter gradually subsided, a kind smile appeared on Garp's weathered face. He looked at the person in front of him and slowly said, "Oh dear, don't take it so seriously! This old man has never seen such an outstanding up-and-coming talent as you before. I just couldn't contain my excitement, so I was a little itchy to play with you! Just take it as a senior giving you some pointers."
Hearing this, Aini just chuckled coldly, thinking to herself: Humph! Who would believe such nonsense? If I actually believed it, I'd be a fool! However, Aini was perfectly clear about Garp's true intentions.
Clearly, if Garp doesn't intervene to restrain him, Luffy's chances of escaping from his grasp are simply a pipe dream.
However, if Garp only saves Luffy, his true intentions would be far too obvious. Once back at Marine Headquarters, not to mention how others would perceive the situation, he would likely struggle to explain himself to Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
However, if Trafalgar Law and Jewelry Bonney were rescued together, the situation would be quite different.
In this way, to outsiders, Garp was just acting recklessly once again.
After all, this wasn't the first time he'd acted so recklessly. Thinking this, Aini narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the seemingly amiable Garp before him, his vigilance growing stronger.
Because he knew very well that he had captured Enni first, and now he had severely injured Luffy.
While this old man might not actually kill him, they are, after all, both members of the Navy. Moreover, for Enni, as a Marine, to deal with Enni and Luffy is, in a sense, part of the Navy's duty.
However, there was no doubt that he wanted to teach him a lesson. He had absolutely no intention of falling into the old man's carefully laid trap.
But then again, why would he feel afraid?
However, he is not blindly arrogant or careless.
He shouted, "Alright! In that case, let me personally experience just how powerful our naval hero's fist really is!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a jaw-dropping scene unfolded—Aini's body began to undergo astonishing changes.
In the blink of an eye, a layer of dazzling golden scales gradually grew all over his body, as if cast from gold; at the same time, a pair of extremely sharp horns slowly emerged from the top of his head, gleaming with a cold light; and his originally normal hands instantly transformed into two ferocious and terrifying dragon claws, emitting a chilling aura.
Before long, a majestic golden dragonman stood before Garp.
Garp's sharp, hawk-like eyes narrowed slightly involuntarily; his relationship with Kaido was far more than just a brief encounter.
They've fought each other countless times.
Therefore, when he saw Enina in his golden dragon-man form, the image of Kaido instantly flashed into his mind.
It's simply because the two of them looked so alike in their dragon-human form.
However, there are still obvious differences in the details.
Kaido's scales were a deep bluish-black, like shadows in the night; while Enni's scales shone with a dazzling golden light, especially under the sunlight, they were so bright that they were hard to look at directly.
Moreover, the powerful aura emanating from Aini even made Garp, a veteran of many battles and accustomed to all kinds of storms, feel a chill run down his spine.
This sense of oppression even surpassed the intensity I felt when facing Kaido.
Based on this, Garp quickly made a judgment—the guy in front of him was probably even stronger than Kaido. After reaching this conclusion, Garp's previously calm expression changed slightly, and a strange look appeared in his eyes as he looked at Enni.
As a loyal naval commander, he was naturally delighted that such a powerful figure as Enni could emerge in the naval ranks.
After all, this means that the future of the navy is promising, and that it has enough power to maintain world peace and justice.
But from a personal perspective, the guy standing in front of him right now really makes one want to teach him a lesson! As he thought about it, Garp subconsciously glanced at Luffy's location.
The thought of Luffy's battered and bloodied body made the anger in my heart erupt like a volcano, which was no longer easy to suppress.
That despicable guy actually attacked so ruthlessly!
This time, Luffy's injuries are extremely serious. He probably won't be able to get out of bed for at least two or three months to recover properly. Even with the best medical skills of the doctors, there's no guarantee he'll make a full recovery.
Unfortunately, being a fellow naval officer, he couldn't say anything.
Because it's the navy's duty to deal with pirates; it's their natural right.
But... he still wanted to teach this guy a lesson.
His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a chilling glint, and his clenched fists cracked as if he were about to smash the person in front of him into mincemeat at any moment.
Suddenly, an incredibly powerful force erupted from his body, instantly engulfing his entire being.
What's shocking is that it's completely different from the Armament Haki of ordinary people.
His Armament Haki had reached its peak. Once unleashed, not only did his body emit a dazzling light, but it also displayed a rare yellow hue.
The yellow light, like a raging flame, danced wildly, enveloping his entire body.
From afar, he appeared like a deity descending from the heavens, radiating unparalleled majesty and aura that made people dare not look directly at him.
