This guy...
Is strong!
Garp knew the enemy was powerful at once. At that same moment, the monster coming from the end of the line reached Garp.
"Thousand Shadow Snow"
The snow demon holding two swords was none other than Golden Lion Shiki, who had eaten the Snow-Snow Fruit and a monster cell. Even though he was just a dead body, Makima's forceful control made him stronger than when he was alive!
The Snow-Snow Fruit and a monster cell made up for Shiki's old Float-Float Fruit and lack of free will. Now, as he swung his two swords, they were clearly the famous swords Sakura Ten and Kogarashi, changed in shape by ice and snow.
Suddenly, the wind stopped, and everything froze. Countless blades of air shot out from the swords, like thousands of snowflakes falling from the sky, filling Garp's view!
This wasn't the Haki from Shiki's body in the past. After eating the monster cell and turning into a monster, the Haki in Shiki's body changed into a new power. While it was still Haki at heart, how it looked was completely different.
That's why Genichi had Shiki play the part of a demon. After all, the powers released by the Nine-Tailed Fox or Toguro weren't pure Haki either. If a demon from hell used Haki from the start, it would feel wrong right away, wouldn't it?
"!"
Garp's eyes widened. But he didn't have time to be shocked, because if he hesitated, he would lose!
The enemy was one of the strongest Garp had fought in decades. He couldn't be careless.
Armament Haki covered his iron fist. He threw a punch, fighting against the endless falling snow. Instantly, freezing cold spread from him.
Starting from Garp, half the city behind him was frozen solid, including the Marines handing out orders and the people warming themselves in their homes!
That was just a small part of the ice and snow Garp had to face. There was a sound like the air exploding, and a huge round ripple appeared in front of Garp's fist, shattering all the ice and snow there.
The ice demon Shiki and Garp both stepped back. At that moment, Marines from another direction seemed to sense the battle and rushed to the scene. Garp cursed under his breath and shouted, "Idiots! Get out of here!"
But it was too late. Shiki heard the footsteps behind him. The cold coming from him grew stronger. Then, countless snowflakes rose up like waves on the sea, crashing down on the area behind him.
Garp saw this and rushed to stop it, but as he was watching out for the ice demon, Little Demon Dragon spoke up.
"Okay, Kill Order. No need to fight them to the death right now."
Little Demon Dragon sat on top of a pile of ruins, one hand resting on his raised knee. He grinned evilly and said, "Let him go. It'll be more fun that way in the future."
Kill Order? Was that the ice demon's name?
Garp thought. By now, he was moving faster than the ice and snow. He threw a punch forward. The outward-flowing Armament Haki smashed a huge gap in the wave of snow, scattering it around.
The Marines behind him didn't know what had happened, but they knew the wave of snow was dangerous. Garp had saved their lives!
Garp ignored what the Marines behind him were thinking and looked at the ice demon. There was a big difference in strength between him and Little Demon Dragon, but when Little Demon Dragon said to stop, he obeyed.
Was this the helper Little Demon Dragon was looking for?
He used an army of thousands from Jaltzburg as a blood sacrifice to summon this demon from hell. He must have his reasons. This ice demon named Kill Order must be one of Little Demon Dragon's father's men.
After all, if he called himself a demon lord, it wouldn't be strange to have his own followers. But could his followers really be this strong?
"I don't know who left me such a great gift, but it's really amazing." Little Demon Dragon opened his arms, and the wind and snow danced around him, wrapping him and Kill Order up.
Before he was completely covered, Little Demon Dragon laughed and said, "You'd better work hard! Hurry up and find Zero's base, so you humans can help me get that Shikon Jewel shard."
As he finished speaking, he was completely wrapped in ice and snow. The wind howled, scattering the snowflakes, but Little Demon Dragon and Kill Order were already gone.
Kill Order...
That definitely wasn't the ice demon's real name. It was probably a code name, since the information he got from the World Government said that demons' real names were very important. Kill Order was probably a code name like 'Steel Bones,' 'Black Arm,' or 'Buddha.'
But...
That name is still weird.
"Vi... Vice Admiral Garp, what should we do next?!" A Marine captain behind Garp trembled in the cold weather. As the ice and snow melted, it made the weather colder. He stuttered as he spoke.
"What should we do?" Garp crossed his arms and said matter-of-factly, "Tell Marine Headquarters to send Sengoku here too."
"Huh?!"
"Never mind, I'll tell him myself later." Besides asking for more troops, Garp wanted to tell the Fleet Admiral what he had said to Little Demon Dragon earlier.
There was a big secret here. If The Black Order wanted the Marines to be cannon fodder and die for them, they would just swallow this gift and show Makima what's what.
Garp left with the Marines. About ten minutes after they left, an eight-year-old boy appeared at the scene.
It was Bullet. Bullet knew he would be wanted after the massacre, but he didn't expect Marine Headquarters to send so many Marines.
As he was about to leave the city, he noticed the battle between Little Demon Dragon and Garp, and he got some information from their conversation.
"No wonder... she said I should look at this country from a new point of view."
Bullet muttered to himself, "So, there are such strong people. And there are demons, Shikon Jewel shards... so many things I didn't know were lurking in the shadows of this country."
He smiled.
"I'm going to see the whole picture of this country from my current point of view!"
