Chapter 58 - Chapter 58: Luffy vs. Garp

〖Hawk Eyes swung his sword, attacking Luffy once again.

Just then, an unexpected person suddenly appeared before him, blocking Hawk Eyes' slash.

"This is the boss's order—to temporarily stand on your side. Hurry up and go, Straw Hat!"

It turned out to be Daz Bonez, formerly Crocodile's subordinate from Baroque Works, Mr. 1.

However, due to the significant power gap, he was instantly defeated with a single slash.

The next moment, Crocodile personally intervened, blocking Hawk Eyes.〗

[Mr. 3: Oh, Mr. 1, never thought you'd make a move too. Too bad you're just too weak.]

[Mr. 1: Shut up! That's Hawk Eyes! If you're so great, why don't you do something?]

[Donquixote Doflamingo: Fufufufu, Crocodile, I never expected you to choose to help Straw Hat Luffy again. Quite unimaginable. From what I know, you two have some history, right?]

[Sir Crocodile: After all, I'd rather not see the Marines looking pleased with themselves.]

[Pirate 1: Ooooh! Look! Empress Hancock has appeared too! So beautiful!]

[Pirate 2: I still can't understand why Empress Hancock would fall for Straw Hat! She even gave him the Seastone handcuff keys! Damn it!]

[Boa Hancock: I really helped Luffy! Being able to help him is truly wonderful.]

[Jewelry Bonney: So that means, as long as Straw Hat reaches the execution platform, he should be able to save Fire Fist Ace, right?]

[Capone Bege: Judging by the current situation, it's very likely. After all, the path to the execution platform has been cleared. There's literally no one in Straw Hat's way now.]

Thanks to the assistance from Hancock and others in the video, the path to the execution platform was now clear for Luffy.

〖Seeing this situation, Ivankov stopped advancing.

"Straw Hat Boy, leave the rest to us! Charge ahead with peace of mind!"

After saying this, he apologetically looked in another direction:

"Sorry, I should have let you rest and recover properly. But right now, we truly need your power. I have to trouble you to help."

"It's alright, Mr. Ivankov. It's nothing much for me."

A sudden voice replied.

From within Ivankov's afro, Emporio Inazuma suddenly appeared.

Using the Scissors-Scissors Fruit ability, he cut open the ground.

Then, he flung the cut section of ground toward the execution platform.

The next instant, a bridge connecting the ground to the execution platform was completed.

Noticing this, the Marines immediately ordered cannon fire to bombard Luffy, preventing him from crossing.

At that moment, the Whitebeard Pirates members appeared again, providing cover for Luffy's advance.〗

[Marco the Phoenix: Go! Straw Hat! Hurry and save Ace!]

[Dadans the Bandit: Well done, Luffy! Don't learn from your grandfather! Just charge ahead!]

[Cavendish: Straw Hat Luffy is about to steal the spotlight again! Damn it! Will I ever get my glory back?]

[Trafalgar D. Water Law: Go for it, Straw Hat-ya!]

[Urouge the Mad Monk: Straw Hat should succeed, right?]

[X Drake: Not necessarily. Don't forget, someone hasn't made a move yet.]

[Scratchmen Apoo: you mean that person? Probably not...]

[Cat Burglar Nami: That is...]

The discussions on the Sky Screen paused because of one person's sudden appearance.

〖Just as Luffy was sprinting at full speed, the situation seemed extremely favorable for him.

The Marines were all held back by the Whitebeard Pirates members, and Whitebeard himself blocked Kizaru's attempted sneak attack.

There were no enemies ahead of Luffy.

But just then, suddenly, a figure descended before him.

The newcomer was none other than the Marine Hero, Garp.

Seeing him appear, Luffy shouted:

"What are you doing here? Move aside, Grandpa!"

Garp didn't move. Instead, he replied solemnly:

"How can this old man move aside? As a Marine Vice Admiral, I've been fighting pirates since before you were born. If you want to pass through here, you must be prepared to kill me. Straw Hat Luffy... this is the path you chose yourselves."

Seeing Garp's appearance, the Whitebeard Pirates members all looked worried.

"Damn it! We've come this far!"

"Curses! Why does it have to be that Garp guarding the final checkpoint?"

"That's the man who was as famous as the Pirate King Roger! Can Straw Hat really do it?"

"Why does it have to be Garp?"

"But he is Straw Hat's grandfather! Might he go easy on him?"

"Impossible! If he would go easy, he wouldn't be here in the first place!"〗

The thoughts of the Whitebeard Pirates in the video were shared by others in reality.

[Golden Lion Shiki: Gehahahaha, have to admit, Garp, you're quite a competent Marine. But as a grandfather, you're extremely unfit. I can't wait to watch this legendary grandfather-grandson battle!]

[Big Mom Charlotte Linlin: Mamamama, poor Straw Hat and Fire Fist, to have such a grandfather. People like me who treat their children well are rare, you know? Isn't that right, my children?]

[Charlotte Katakuri: Yes, Mother.]

[Charlotte Cracker: Mother is right.]

[Kaido: If only my son were this obedient! But after learning some news about a certain bastard, he insists on coming out. I had to lock him up. Hope he learns to behave later, Urororororo!]

[Captain John: It seems Fire Fist Ace is doomed this time. With Garp blocking the way, how could Straw Hat possibly break through his defense?]

[Dadans the Bandit: Damn it! Garp, you bastard! What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?]

[Marine Hero Garp: This old man knows what he's doing. After all, what I carry on my back is the word 'Justice.' How can I sit back and watch these pirates cause such trouble?]

Windmill Village

Dadans, who had been drinking at Makino's small bar, slammed the table upon seeing Garp's reply and shouted angrily:

"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard! That bastard Garp! Talking about carrying justice, being called some Marine Hero—what qualifications does he have to be a hero? He's just scum!

Watching his own family be executed, even stopping Luffy from saving Ace—what kind of hero does that? Damn it! Let me go! I need to teach him a lesson!"

"Boss, calm down! He's at Marine Headquarters now! You can't even see him!"

"Yeah, yeah, Boss! And you're no match for him anyway!"

"Shut up!"

Dadans knocked the head of the bandit who said she was no match for Garp and yelled angrily.

Then, Makino also comforted her:

"Miss Dadans, please calm down. I think the Garp in the video probably isn't as calm as he appears."
