One Piece: Almost Exposed That I Am Stronger Than Roger - Chapter 266

Chapter 266: Garp Lost His Mind

Ace’s death became the catalyst, unleashing Garp’s unrestrained emotions. Step by step, he advanced towards Solo. Witnessing this scene, Sengoku grew even more concerned. His face turned as pale as paper.

“Garp!”

Sengoku shouted, hoping to bring him back to his senses. But how could Garp listen toSengoku in his current state? His gaze fixated on Solo, emanating a murderous aura as he lunged toward him.

“So powerful,” Solo frowned as he observed the scene.

From what he remembers, when Akainu killed Ace, Garp was also tempted to retaliate. He wanted to eliminate Admiral Akainu. At this critical moment, Sengoku managed to restrain him and no complications arose.

But now, not even Sengoku could contain Garp.

“Could it be…”

Suddenly, as if a realization struck him, Solo turned his head to look at Luffy. In any case, Luffy’s appearance provided him with an escape route. With everyone’s combined efforts, Luffy was finally entrusted to Luo.

But now, due to his interference, the plot has taken a different turn. At this moment, Trafalgar doesn’t recognize Luffy at all. How could he come to Marineford to save Luffy?

Furthermore, the pirate ship prepared by the Whitebeard Pirates to facilitate their escape was destroyed and sank into the sea by me. The Moby Dick and the other pirate ships that entered the plaza suffered heavy damage in the battle.

Luffy is currently trapped with no way out. Realizing this, Solo seemed to grasp the situation. Garp’s intense reaction wasn’t solely due to Ace’s relationship, but also the influence of Luffy.
“I see,” Solo suddenly understood.

However, no matter what the reason, he couldn’t allow Luffy to escape. Even if killing him was not an option. At the very least, Luffy should be imprisoned in Impel Down. With this in mind, Solo turned around, preparing to capture Luffy.

“Shave!”

Garp suddenly yelled, and the ground beneath his feet shattered, leaving behind a spiderweb of cracks. In an instant, he appeared behind Solo.

His right hand clenched into a fist, aimed directly at the back of Solo’s head.
Without hesitation, he struck down with immense force. This astonishing scene left the entire navy stunned.
“Vice Admiral Garp has once again attacked a fellow marine member.”

“No doubt, Ace’s death triggered Vice Admiral Garp, causing him to lose his composure.”

Although Vice Admiral Garp is a legendary hero of the marine, he is still human. Witnessing the death of his grandson inevitably pushed him to this state.

The marines discussed among themselves. However, they didn’t express disappointment towards Garp’s actions. Rather, they seemed to understand Garp’s situation.

From Garp’s body, they could sense an overwhelming aura. A hundred times, a thousand times more terrifying than before! Just by looking into his eyes, one could feel a shiver down their spine.
“Vice Admiral Garp has attacked Mr. Solo once again.”

Koby and Helmeppo were even more astonished. As Garp’s disciples, they thought they understood his character well, knowing that he was someone who had strong affections and aversions.

However, they never expected Garp would attempt to kill Solo and avenge Ace. No matter what, back at the Marine Headquarters, Garp spoke highly of Solo. He even encouraged the two of them to learn from him and improve their skills.

“What should we do now? Should we try to stop them?” Helmeppo blurted out instinctively. But his expression quickly stiffened

“Stop them? How can we possibly stop them?” Kobytook a deep breath.

Their gazes met. With their current strength, do they really think they can stand up against Garp?

They couldn’t even get close to the two of them yet. Would they be forced to retreat once the aftermath of their clash reached them?

If they wanted to stop Garp, they would have to be at least at the level of an admiral! Realizing this, Koby and Helmeppo’s eyes suddenly lit up. At the same time, they thought of Aokiji.

He wasn’t just the highest-ranking commander at the Marine Headquarters, but also a powerful admiral. Moreover, he held great respect for Garp. Their relationship was strong. If anyone could stop Garp, it would be him.

However, as Koby and Helmeppo searched for Aokiji in their line of sight, they suddenly noticed he was engaged in a battle with the Red Hair Pirates. There was no sign of him planning to withdraw and intervene to stop Garp.

This situation couldn’t get any worse. Meanwhile, Shanks also noticed Garp’s actions. But he couldn’t find joy in it. Looking at Ace’s lifeless body, Shanks couldn’t help but feel a heavy weight in his heart.

After all, he couldn’t save Roger’s son, Luffy’s older brother.

“Damn it.”

Shanks clenched his teeth, resenting his own lack of strength. If only he possessed the terrifying power of Roger. Perhaps then, he could have saved Ace and escaped Marineford.

However, Shanks quickly composed himself. Now was not the time to lose control.
Ace was gone, but Luffy was still alive. If he acted rashly, Luffy might suffer the same fate as Ace. And that was something Shanks couldn’t bear to witness.

He gritted his teeth and relinquished his desire for revenge on Ace’s behalf. Solo, a marine officer as formidable as a monster, was handed over to Garp. He was left to deal with Solo.

“Let’s go.”

Shanks called out to the rest of his crew, signaling their retreat from the battlefield.
On the other side. Garp, consumed by rage, struggled to maintain his sanity.

His anger had clouded his judgment, blindly swinging his fists at Solo. Unleashing his tremendous power. Even Solo had no choice but to coat his sword with Busoshoku Haki and defend himself.

Bang!

Their fists and blades clashed, creating a violent shockwave that rippled in all directions. The ground beneath them crumbled, forming a dark abyss. The roaring sea awaited below.
“Solo,” Solo gazed at Garp with slightly narrowed eyes, “I don’t wish to fight you.”

Regardless of the circumstances, Garp was still a Marine Vice Admiral and a representation of justice. In Solo’s heart, he held great respect for this old man. However, Garp remained deaf to Solo’s pleas.

“Stop talking nonsense!”

Garp roared, clenching his hands together, generating a shockwave that aimed to send Solo plummeting into the abyss. Observing this, Solo had no choice but to wield his blade and unleash a powerful sword energy, colliding once again with Garp’s fist.

Boom!

The impact rippled out, forcefully pushing both of them back!
