In the Grand Line, in the waters of Hasalik Island, Roger and Garp fought fiercely for a long time, and both finally decided to end the fight.
After Roger and Garp fought with all their strength again, Roger quickly retreated with the help of Garp's strength and soon put some distance between themselves and Capra.
"Hahaha, Garp, our battle ends here. Guys, start retreating!"
Roger roared with laughter, then quickly ran towards his ship.
After hearing Roger's words, the members of Roger's pirate group quickly separated from the navy around them, said goodbye to each other with a smile, and ran after their captain.
Barrett turned his head to look at Garp, then walked towards Rocks.
"Looks like we have to say goodbye, Kuzan. I hope we'll both be stronger when we meet next time."
Rocks walked to Kuzan's side and looked up at him.
I have to say, Kuzan is really tall.
"Ah, let's say goodbye here then."
Kuzan waved proudly at Rocks, then walked towards Garp.
The reason why he walked towards Garp was that there was a sea under Garp's feet. If he didn't go to pick him up, Mr. Garp, whom he admired, would probably fall directly into the sea and become a drowned person.
Although I also want to see Mr. Cap make a fool of himself.
Rocks stood there and watched Kuzan leave.
"Locks, is that man Kuzan?"
Before he knew it, Barrett came to Rocks' side, looked at Kuzan's departing figure, and asked Rocks.
"That's right. Barrett, what do you think of that man as our partner?"
Rocks looked at Kuzan and suddenly asked Barrett.
"Hmm? That man? He's quite capable. It would be fun if we could become partners."
Barrett looked at Kuzan, then at Rocks, thought for a moment, and replied with a smile.
"But that guy is a navy man. He is also a key person trained by the navy. He will not leave the navy easily."
After hearing what Barrett said, Rocks smiled.
"Haha, believe me, Barrett, he will become our companion sooner or later."
After saying that, Rocks didn't even look at Kuzan who was leaving, but turned around and walked towards the Oro Jackson.
Barrett looked at Kuzan with interest, then laughed and followed Rocks.
"Kuzan? I'm really looking forward to the day when he becomes my partner."
Kuzan glanced at Rocks and Barrett who had already left, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Haha, what an interesting man."
Muttering softly, Kuzan reached his hand into the sea.
"Squeak"
Icy cold air erupted instantly, completely freezing the three-meter sea surface.
As soon as the frozen land took shape, Cap fell from the air onto the ice surface.
"Oh, Mr. Cap, you really made a big scene this time."
Kuzan stood up, looked at the disheveled Garp and teased with a smile.
"Hahaha! Of course it should be. We finally caught up with that bastard Roger, how can we not have a good fight?"
Garp responded to Kuzan with a laugh, not caring at all about Kuzan's teasing.
"By the way, Kuzan, how strong is the brat you fought? I heard that bastard Garp constantly praising the three brats on his ship."
Kuzan smiled when he heard Garp's question.
"Well, his strength is indeed good. And he has great potential. Not only does he possess Conqueror Haki, but he is also proficient in using Armament Haki and Observation Haki. His fruit ability is also very strong. If we have to compare, he can probably be compared to a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million."
Kuzan told Garp his truest feelings without reservation.
His words were full of undisguised admiration for Rocks.
"Oh, by the way, his name is Rocks."
Finally, Kuzan suddenly mentioned Rocks' name to Garp.
"Locks?!"
Hearing Kuzan's words, Garp was slightly surprised, but only slightly surprised.
After all, there were too many people with the same name in this ocean. Moreover, the Rocks he knew had been beaten to the bottom of the sea by him and Roger in the battle in the Valley of Gods many years ago, and his life or death was unknown.
Moreover, this Rocks is obviously still a little devil.
"Well, he's just a kid, but this kid named Rocks has great potential. He might become the second Rocks in the future."
Garp looked at Rocks who had returned to the Oro Jackson and chuckled softly.
"Okay, Kuzan, take care of all the navy, quickly contact Sengoku or the nearby naval base, and ask them to send a warship to pick me up."
“… ... ... .”
After hearing what Garp said, Kuzan was speechless.
Indeed, their ship had been reduced to ruins by the power of that Barrett. If they didn't call for support, they might have to walk back to the Navy Headquarters...
Regardless of what happened to Garp and the others, all members of Roger's pirate group have returned to the Oro Jackson and are fully prepared to set sail.
Roger walked to the stern and looked at Cap with a big grin.
"Garp, I'm going to run away first this time. You just stay on that island and wait for support. I'm going to continue my adventure! Hehehe!"
Hearing Roger's teasing words, Garp responded with a nonchalant grin.
"Roger, you bastard, next time I find you, I will definitely arrest you and send you to Impelton Prison!"
"Hahaha, that's absolutely impossible. Alright, Garp, I'm going to run away! Guys, set sail!"
"oh!"
Hearing Roger's order, the members of Roger's pirate group cheered, then quickly raised the sails, took control of the rudder, and quickly controlled the Oro Jackson to sail quickly.
Soon, the Oro Jackson disappeared above the sea level.
Finally back to the free sea, the members of Roger's pirate group cheered on the ship and started a new party.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect to meet that bastard Garp this time. It's been a while since I last met them."
"That's right, Bogut has become a little stronger after not seeing him for a while."
"Indeed, Ultraman has become much stronger. He even learned the ray skill."
"Hahaha, anyway, it was a very pleasant experience this time."
The members of Roger's pirate group sat together with laughter, clinking glasses and chatting about their own happy things.
At the bow, Roger and Cap leaned against the railing, holding rum in their hands and looking up at the sky.
"Roger, Rocks and Barrett have been completely exposed to the navy this time. I think we need to train them properly."
After hearing what Garp said, Roger looked at the sky thoughtfully.
"You're right. We really need to train those two brats. Otherwise, given their talents, the current progress is too slow. When we get to the next island, Gaya Island, I will personally train them."
"Gaya Island..."
After listening to Roger's words, Rayleigh repeated it in a low voice.
“That’s really what I’m looking forward to.”
At this time, Rocks was leading Barrett Shanks and Buggy to train in the training room in the cabin.
After spending a few months together, it has to be said that several people have slowly started to act around Rocks, and seem to regard Rocks as the boss of several trainee pirates.
"Hey, Rocks, let's compare swordsmanship. I've gained some new insights recently."
Shanks held the sword in his left hand and shouted to Rocks excitedly.
"Oh, no problem. I just happened to have some insights recently."
Rocks, shirtless and covered in sweat, responded to Shanks with a smile.
"Come on then!"
In response, Shanks rushed towards Rocks with the sword in hand.
