Garp reacted quickly and punched Luffy in the face as he approached.
Bang!
Luffy's face was suddenly hit hard, and his whole body sank into the ground with a bang, causing a cloud of smoke and dust.
The effect of this punch seemed to be outstanding, but in fact it did not cause any substantial damage to Luffy at all.
Because when Garp punched this punch, not only did he not use his weapon color, he didn't even use half of his strength.
Being restricted by family ties, he obviously wants to show off, but he has to show off no matter what.
However, the surrounding navy's attention was all on Mod and the others, and they did not see Garp's "powerful" punch that hammered Luffy into the ground.
But Sengoku and He saw it.
“…”
Several black lines hung down from Sengoku's forehead.
Garp, who was knocked down by Luffy twice, even if he had a chance to hit Luffy back, the end result would definitely be a failure.
Warring States has completely given up on Garp.
We can't count on Garp's combat power, so we can only silently exclude Garp.
Sengoku turned to look at Mod, who was surrounded by many subordinates.
"Even if you are in danger, you must send those pirates out... What are you fighting for, Bacardi Mod."
When the ball barrier falls among the many combat forces of the Whitebeard Pirates, it means that it is no longer that easy for the Navy to eradicate Nico Robin here.
Within the battlefield.
The surrounding navy stared at Mod, while Mod looked at Garp who hammered Luffy into the ground, with a trace of ridicule emerging from the corner of his mouth.
Of course, he also saw Garp's mediocre punch that did not cover his weapon color.
"If I had used the weapon punch just now, Straw Hat Luffy would have lost his combat effectiveness on the spot even if he had not died. But Garp, you held back."
Maud narrowed her eyes at Garp.
The words he just said were like instructions, causing Luffy to get up from the pit with great cooperation.
"grandfather!"
After Luffy stood up, he yelled at Garp reflexively.
“…”
Hearing Luffy call his grandfather in front of so many marines nearby, Garp's cheeks couldn't help but tremble several times.
Others are cheating on me, but Luffy is cheating on me.
"Ha ha."
Seeing Luffy's cooperation, Mod was amused and seriously made up for it.
"Even a legendary naval hero cannot pass the 'grandson' test."
As he spoke, Mod deliberately raised his voice and said tit for tat: "Since we can't even deal with a pirate who made a scene on the execution platform, we'd better leave the show honestly."
The deliberately raised volume ensured that the words spoken could cover up all kinds of noise and be directly transmitted to the ears of the surrounding navy.
"Lieutenant General Garp..."
There were quite a few marines present who didn't know Luffy's identity.
When they heard Maude's words, they were somewhat shaken.
If Sabo's situation hadn't been taken into consideration, Mod might have added a bit more information and exposed Luffy's identity as the son of Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
It's just that Garp is the type who doesn't pay attention to reputation, let alone the opinions of others.
After hearing Maud's words, he was unaffected and just frowned at Maud who had ulterior motives.
He realized that Mod threw Luffy over just to use Luffy to restrain him.
If Luffy is subdued here...
Unless Ace and Sabo can take back Luffy, there is no doubt that the two of them will fight to the death.
In the end, he and Luffy will only be killed by the navy.
At this moment, Garp was once again in a dilemma.
Should he stick to his position and kill relatives for justice, or should he give up his duty and stand and keep his hands
"If I were defeated by Luffy here..."
Such thoughts flashed through Garp's mind for no apparent reason.
After all, he still preferred to hold on, not wanting to see his two grandsons fail here.
However, if he wanted to pretend to be knocked down by Luffy, it meant that he had to lie down on the ground.
In other words, until Luffy and Ace escape, he cannot attack Mod in an honest way.
Maybe Mod had thought of this, so he threw Luffy over so simply.
In just a second or two, Garp's thoughts were spinning.
When he was in doubt, he always used his fists to solve problems. He never thought that one day he would face such a dilemma.
“嘁…”
Garp clenched his fists hard and followed his heart and made a decision.
In full view of everyone, he raised his arm and punched Luffy.
"grandfather… "
Luffy is usually quite silly, but he can still discern the situation at critical moments.
If he was subdued by Garp here, it would only hinder Ace and Sabo.
"No matter what, I want to leave here with Ace Sabo!!!"
With determination in his eyes, Luffy jumped up and avoided Garp's fist.
"Jet pistol!"
Luffy, who was in the air, waved his fist emitting hot white smoke and hit Garp hard on the cheek.
Bang!
Garp was hit on the cheek and his body suddenly fell to the ground.
The strong force shattered the few remaining stone slabs under Garp's body.
"That's good..."
Garp thought silently in his heart.
He was so focused on Luffy and Ace's way back that he didn't even realize there was a handful of black spots hidden between Luffy's fingers.
And this little black dot is the shadow mark that Maud quietly left behind when he tied Luffy with his shadow tentacles.
The moment Luffy pulled back his extended fist.
Uh-huh!
Mod and Shadow Mark exchanged places and suddenly appeared next to Garp.
at this time,
Garp was in the position of falling to the ground, and he didn't expect that Mod would instantly move to his side.
When he sensed the danger, Maud had already swung his sword and struck directly at his vitals.
The sword light flashed away.
laugh!
As blood spurted out, an arm flew into the sky.
Garp rolled violently several times, leaving a large trail of blood along the ground. He quickly stood up from a squat and looked at Maud who continued to swing the knife with a stern look.
There was blood flowing across his left shoulder.
"As expected of a 'legendary' figure from the past era, he was able to minimize the damage in this situation."
Maude looked calm and raised his left hand to catch Garp's broken arm that fell from the sky.
It was somewhat of a pity that he failed to seize the perfect opportunity to kill Garp.
"I was careless..."
Garp frowned, and a few beads of sweat fell down his face.
Guang Guang was thinking about Luffy and Ace's options, but Mod took advantage of him.
"grandfather!"
"Lieutenant General Garp..."
"Garp!"
Seeing Garp's arm being chopped off by Mod, Luffy and even the navy headed by Sengoku were all shocked.
Chapter 118: Surrender
Who would have thought that a legendary naval hero with great reputation would lose his left arm in this way.
It was so sudden.
After Luffy and many marines reacted suddenly, they still couldn't believe this was true.
"Why… "
Luffy glared at Mod.
After witnessing his grandfather's arm being chopped off, Luffy could not remain calm even at this critical moment.
Mod ignored Luffy's slightly stupid question, a black shadow appeared on his left hand, and silently swallowed Garp's broken arm into the shadow box space.
He knew very well that the Navy must have prepared complete medical logistics before launching this war.
In order to eliminate any possibility that Garp could reattach the arm, it was the safest decision to directly hide the severed arm in the shadow box space.
"The most unforgettable thing I still remember is when you punched Sol's left leg in front of me."
Maude put down her left hand and looked at Garp with eyes that gradually became sharp.
Looking back at the beginning, the feeling of powerlessness of not being able to do anything is still vivid in my mind.
And Maude didn't want to go through the same experience again, so she worked hard to become stronger.
"You break Thor's leg, and I'll take away your arm. That's good."
“…”
Listening to what Maud said, Garp pressed his left shoulder, which was bleeding profusely, with a serious look on his face and remained silent for a long time.
Maybe it was because he was punched too much by Luffy, or maybe it was because the pain in his left shoulder radiated to other places.
When Maude mentioned the battle in Mad Hatter Town a few years ago, the scar on Garp's face actually felt a dull pain.
How could he have thought of that.
The boy whom Thor once called a treasure will take one of his arms away today.
And the death of Peach Rabbit...
Should it be said that it is his own fault
Garp took a deep breath.
outside the square.
"Haha!"
Blackbeard, who was massacring the navy, was lucky enough to witness the scene of Garp's left arm flying into the sky, and immediately laughed out loud.
"He actually cut off an arm of a naval hero. Interesting, interesting, thief haha!!!"
Blackbeard casually snapped the neck of a marine, his eyes glowing as he looked straight at Mod and Garp, who were confronting each other in the distance.
Dad is dead, and the naval hero who teamed up with Roger to destroy the Rocks Pirates is now too late...
