Chapter 26: 3 punches
"Mr. Garp, I think we can start. Let's clear the field before we begin."
After Kaizen finished speaking, his pupils dilated, and Conqueror's Haki surged from his body like a tide.
In the blink of an eye, all the Marines on the deck fainted and fell to the ground. The few remaining ones scratched their heads, confused about the situation.
Only a few people were unaffected, and they looked at Kaizen with uniform surprise.
"This man actually has Conqueror's Haki!"
Even Garp, who was standing in front of Kaizen, was quite surprised, but then he laughed.
"Ah hahahaha! It's true."
"We agreed, only three punches. I can't take any more." Kaizen modestly stretched out a finger and emphasized seriously.
"Boy, I'm really looking forward to this," Garp began to move his wrist, and the crisp sound of bones rubbing together was heard.
Kaizen dismounted and spread out his fists, followed by dark Haki in the next second.
Garp looked at Kaizen like a Pegasus about to spread its wings and fly high, and grinned: "Good posture."
As he spoke, Garp's thick and iron-hard fist followed.
Bang!
The power of the fist exploded, sweeping over Kaizen with an overwhelming force.
The resisting arm in front of him felt numb for a moment, as if the arm no longer belonged to him.
"Boy, can you withstand this punch that has lasted forty years?" Garp said with a grin. His fists continued to increase in force with no intention of stopping.
"It's crisp and tingling, it feels okay."
Kaizen responded to Garp with a big smile, then suddenly flexed his arm hard.
Garp didn't expect that Kaizen still had some strength left in this state, so he easily deflected Garp's fist and took a few steps back.
"What, Mr. Garp was repelled by this guy? It's fake!"
The few remaining Marines couldn't stay calm when they saw this scene.
"Don't worry, that was just a tentative punch from Mr. Garp. The next punch will definitely knock this fool away."
A certain sailor said confidently.
Kaizen stood motionless, which was the biggest mockery to Garp. He moved his wrist and spoke easily.
"Two more punches."
"Ha! You're quite capable!" Garp was still smiling happily.
Soon, Garp didn't give Kaizen a chance to breathe, and the second punch came earlier than expected.
This punch was completely different from before. From the start, Kaizen felt a heavy and strenuous sensation. His whole body seemed sluggish, and his reaction speed dropped.
At first, Kaizen tried his best to resist the second punch, but his body still slid backward and dragged several steps before he reluctantly stopped.
The arm changed from numbness to paralysis. The strong force directly transmitted from the arm to the skin, bones, and blood vessels, finally spreading through his whole body.
"How's it going?" Garp said happily, smiling from the heart as always.
"It's... okay!" Kaizen said with some difficulty.
"That's good." Garp said, suddenly withdrawing his fist and taking a few steps back, giving up a good opportunity to pursue victory with the second punch.
"What do you mean, it's over?"
Kaizen looked at Garp puzzled.
"Boy, you're still young. It's not worth dying here. Just listen to me and run for your life! I can be careless once and let you go."
Garp looked at Kaizen with appreciation.
"That's not necessary." Kaizen looked at Garp with firm eyes: "We agreed on three punches, even one less punch will not work."
"Ah ha ha ha ha! I like this determination, hey! Boy, are you interested in joining the Marines? I can teach you step by step and guarantee to train you into a first-class powerful Marine!"
Garp said politely.
"It's better not to." Kaizen said firmly as always.
"Do you have to take my third punch?" Garp confirmed for the last time.
"Take it." Kaizen replied with determination.
"Okay." Garp only replied with an okay.
At this time, the Marines on the deck held their breath and stared at the two men nervously.
You must know that this kid has already taken two punches from Garp. Just these two punches can make him famous on the ocean.
In this case, where does the reputation of the Marine hero stand, and how should the Marines' reputation be saved?
Therefore, no matter the outcome of these three punches today, Kaizen must die here. The remaining navy soldiers clenched their guns, ready to shoot Kaizen at any time.
Garp clenched his fists, rarely accumulating strength, and the roaring power of a beast emerged from his body. Just standing in front of him and watching, his posture was completely terrifying.
"Stand back, Mr. Garp needs to be serious." The sailors said as they had a premonition that something was not going well.
"Drink!"
Garp's body suddenly attacked, his figure was domineering, and as soon as he made contact with Kaizen, Kaizen flew back without resistance.
With a bang, his body fell hard into the cabin, and broken pieces of wood scattered everywhere.
"Hmph! This young boy who overestimates his own abilities dares to provoke a Marine hero. He deserves it."
The sailors put down their guns. At this time, they firmly believed that Kaizen had been beaten into a puddle of mush.
"It's so hard!" Garp put down his fist and said as if with lingering fear.
"Mr. Garp, it must be quite an honor to receive a complaint from you, right?"
As Kaizen walked out of the cabin, he moved his wrists with a crackle, and his leisurely pace was difficult to compare with the embarrassed look just now.
"What! Are you kidding! He was unscathed!"
The sailors' jaws almost touched the ground in surprise.
Kaizen walked to where he was just now and stood still, his eyes radiating perseverance as always.
He obviously came from the ruins, but he acted like a god descending to earth. Kaizen was the only one who could do this.
Kaizen's mask disappeared at some point. His originally piercing eyes, coupled with his angular face, naturally made him handsome and unrestrained. In addition, he also revealed a different kind of personality at this moment that came with contagious bravery.
It made people simply unable to help but show admiration and respect for him.
He didn't speak, just looked ahead firmly with his eyes. At some point, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as dazzling as the first ray of sunshine in the morning.
"He actually laughed." Garp murmured in surprise.
What surprised him was that Kaizen's smile was not one to celebrate victory, but a fiery smile from the heart. It seemed easy and unsurprising, but it was very tense.
"I really have you, hahahahaha!" Garp thought, suddenly throwing his head back and laughing happily, and then he announced to the sailors.
"Turn the ship around and return!"
The domineering voice echoed shockingly throughout the warship.
