Dirt and gravel flew everywhere, a massive chasm spread continuously, and Ox couldn't suppress the impact, his face contorted in pain as he crashed through red trees and buildings, a truly miserable sight.
Bang!!!
A huge explosion resounded, and Ox, spitting blood from his nose and mouth, forcibly endured the impact, falling to one side.
Immediately following, a tremendous shockwave came from behind him; Kaos's right foot was deeply embedded in the mud, and the ground around him rapidly caved in, kicking up sand and stones, a display of pure madness.
Cough, cough, cough~
Ox rolled on the ground, coughing up blood, and before he could get up, a sense of danger assailed him.
He could only passively cross his hands in front of him; in an instant, a dark whip-kick struck with overwhelming force.
Ox's blood-streaked face twitched, and he was uncontrollably sent flying out again.
"The Marine lost."
"The Golden Emperor actually defeated Ox with just his physical combat skills!"
"Damn it, he's too strong."
Now, anyone who wasn't blind could see that Ox had lost; under the Golden Emperor's fierce attacks, he could only passively defend, and continuing like this, there was no chance of a comeback.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The only sound in the air was a series of explosions; Ox was like a ball, being kicked back and forth by the Golden Emperor.
The scene was too tragic to watch.
"Too weak."
Kaos appeared out of thin air, his previous excitement now having faded.
Ox could no longer ignite his desire for battle, but it was undeniable that his opponent was strong, though still a bit weaker than himself.
With his right foot, now completely black, raised high, Kaos intended to end the battle with one kick; he only needed stronger opponents!
As for whether Ox would die from this kick, that was up to fate.
If he didn't die, Kaos wouldn't make another move.
The air was violently displaced and sucked dry; Kaos's kick was unstoppable, and the sound of it tearing through the air could be felt from far away!
Bang!
A dull, shocking impact resounded, and a massive shockwave spread out.
A cloak of justice fluttered in the air pressure, and Kaos's somewhat disheveled expression suddenly changed drastically, his dark eyes narrowing sharply.
A large hand firmly gripped Kaos's ankle, and the resolute face so close to him was filled with a chilling aura.
Not good.
Kaos felt a chill run through his body, all the hairs on his skin stood on end.
Without thinking, he quickly turned golden, simultaneously forming the thickest defense with Armament Haki and Iron Body, crossing his hands in front of him to meet the sweeping whip-kick.
Crack!
A very loud sound of bones cracking was heard, and Kaos's face twisted.
Immediately, blood spurted from his nose and mouth, and he couldn't control his body at all, transforming into a streak of light that plunged diagonally to the ground, pushing forward to create a huge gully, lying at the end with a pale face.
At this moment, in mid-air, Garp carried Ox to the ground.
After handing him over to the Marines who had caught up, Garp strode towards Kaos.
"Hiss!"
"Damn it, it's Monkey D. Garp."
"Run!"
"Captain, retreat quickly."
"The Golden Emperor is done for."
Garp's appearance instantly made all the pirates' hearts pound; no one could remain calm.
If Garp were to attack them, no one would escape.
The greatest pressure at the scene was on Kaos.
Standing up from the ruins, Kaos watched Garp approaching with powerful strides.
Although Garp wasn't emitting any particular aura, with each step he took closer, Kaos felt a pressure building on his shoulders, and cold sweat uncontrollably beaded on his forehead.
He hadn't expected to meet him so soon.
Garp was in his prime at this time, his short black hair not yet white, in his peak condition.
During this period, it was no exaggeration to say that Garp could walk sideways across the seas!
Without having met him face to face, one simply couldn't feel that pressure.
"Hoo~"
Kaos took a deep breath.
Although he knew there was a huge gap between him and Garp, he still wanted to take a reckless chance.
In his eyes now, Garp was a primordial beast.
Though not afraid, he felt a certain trepidation.
Thump, thump!
His feet felt like they were filled with lead, very heavy.
Kaos walked towards Garp, and as the distance grew shorter, the surrounding air seemed to become thick.
At the same time, the pressure Kaos felt grew heavier, and even breathing seemed to become difficult.
Kaos's actions piqued Garp's interest, and he began to actively unleash his aura, like a group of invisible mountains, causing more and more cold sweat to appear on Kaos's face, and the ground beneath his feet began to sink, while his upper body started to bend downwards.
Although this wasn't Conqueror's Haki, the aura of a top-tier expert created a nearly tangible pressure.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Kaos transformed into gold from head to toe.
At the same time, the Goddess of Sky in the sky separated a stream of gold, forming a sound of clashing weapons that intertwined around his body, and quickly became imbued with Armament Haki, forming a black and gold battle armor.
Boom!
The two stopped three meters apart, and Kaos also raised his aura to its peak, but compared to Garp, it was the difference between a child and an adult.
"Haha, it seems Ox's defeat wasn't unjust. But since I, this old man, have met you today, you'll spend the rest of your life in Impel Down!"
Garp crossed his arms, his cloak of justice fluttering behind him, and laughed heartily.
At the same time, his aura continued to fade; this pirate in front of him had some courage and would surely achieve something on the seas in the future.
Whether he was a dragon or a worm, only a test would tell.
To withstand his aura, not flee immediately, but instead face the challenge and stand before him, there weren't many in the new generation, whether Marine or pirate, who could do that.
"That's not necessarily true."
Kaos stood proudly, his black and gold spiky hair fluttering in the strong wind, his eyes sharper than ever before.
He wanted to fight this guy with all his might, even if he knew the outcome was certain defeat!
Anything that didn't kill him would only make him stronger.
Fear, pressure, terror – these were all obstacles on the path to becoming a strong person.
Kick them away, and you would see the light.
If he couldn't kick it away once, then he would kick it twice, kick it three times; one day, he would succeed.
A man of action and few words, Kaos made the first move.
He appeared before Garp in a blink, his right fist tightly clenched, and he powerfully smashed it towards Garp.
But Garp merely extended one hand to block it; aside from the ground beneath his feet cracking, he didn't retreat a single step.
Kaos's black and gold eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he spun his body, sweeping his right leg across like a mighty army.
Garp still held up his arm; even Kaos's extremely fast attack was useless.
The ground beneath their feet continuously crumbled and expanded, Garp's cloak fluttered rapidly behind him, and a shockwave in a fan shape destroyed everything.
Most importantly, Garp was forced back.
Kaos pressed his advantage, appearing out of nowhere in front of Garp and sweeping his leg again.
Another fan-shaped shockwave appeared, and Garp's body began to dissipate, turning out to be just an afterimage.
Not good!
The sound of air pressure came from his right, and Kaos could only passively defend.
Pfft~
The moment of impact, Kaos spat blood and was sent flying, crashing through red trees before hitting the ground.
He quickly rolled over, grabbing the ground with both hands to slide sideways, his cold, sharp eyes showing Garp's disappearing image.
Rumble! ! !
The ground exploded for thousands of meters around, and Kaos vanished from his spot, appearing in mid-air.
He looked down at Garp in the pit and consecutively delivered two Tempest Kick kicks, but Garp merely shattered them with a single punch from a distance.
The wind picked up in his ears again, and Kaos's heart leaped into his throat; without thinking, he used Soru to disappear.
Thirty meters away, as soon as Kaos appeared, a whip-kick came right at him.
In a flash, he ducked to avoid it, and at the same time, quickly counterattacked with a sweeping leg.
But Garp's movements were even faster; after leaping off the ground, he spun his body and delivered a sweeping blow with his right arm.
Kaos crossed his hands in front of him, and at the same time, thrust a knee towards Garp's chest.
A storm of explosions erupted, and Kaos's single foot dug deep into the ground as he slid backward, his black and gold arms uncontrollably trembling.
Meanwhile, Garp blocked Kaos's knee with his left hand, did a backflip in the air, and landed lightly on the ground.
