Vongola Primo in One Piece - Chapter 359

“Bam! Bam!”

Two figures moved as fast as lightning, and the loud sounds from their exchange echoed as the ice began to break. Ice shards flew everywhere, showing everyone just how powerful Garp and Knuckle were.

Knuckle and Garp were fighting with the most direct use of their power. There were no special techniques involved; they were using raw power, and it had reached a terrifying level.

Even a guy like Z was stunned as they watched those two fought. Z couldn’t believe that someone could fight Garp to this extent. He knew very well just how powerful Garp was. Even without using Haki, he was incredibly powerful!

However, Xanxus remained unfazed as he believed that he was no weaker than Knuckle or Garp. Akainu shared a similar mindset. But, if Akainu were to face Knuckle or Garp right now…

Well, he just became an Admiral. He needed some time before he could actually stand toe-to-toe with them!

“Surprisingly, Knuckle is getting pushed back in pure close combat? This is quite rare. It seems that Marine Hero is indeed a formidable opponent. This gets me a bit fired up.”

Alaudi couldn’t help but comment as he watched the battle between Garp and Knuckle.

In pure physical combat, even he had to admit that Knuckle was the strongest among all the Guardians, yet Garp seemed to have the upper hand against Knuckle.

He was simply a monster!

Moreover, Garp didn’t eat a Zoan-type Devil Fruit like Kaido or have natural monstrous strength like Big Mom. Most of his strength came from intense training. While one could say that it was also a form of talent, it undoubtedly required hard work, discipline, and determination. It seemed that Garp earning the title of Marine Hero was no coincidence.

“Boom!”

A loud sound resounded as Garp and Knuckle punched at the same time, pushing each other back. Garp stopped after being pushed back over thirty meters, while Knuckle was pushed back about forty meters. Although the difference wasn’t large, it was quite noticeable to skilled individuals like them.

Knuckle’s expression also changed slightly. Even though he could tell that his opponent was absurdly strong, being pushed back like this was somewhat hard to believe.

But this was exactly what made him fired up!

In his previous world, there were very few people who could make him go all out. He had sealed away his strength for good, and unless Vongola Family faced danger, he rarely used his full power. However, he encountered several skilled opponents such as Big Mom, and this Marine Hero in front of him. Both of them were worthy opponents.

Like Knuckle, Garp was also in disbelief. He knew very well how strong he was. Even when facing a monster like Big Mom, he would still believe that he would come out on top. While he indeed had the upper hand, but only barely.

“Galaxy Impact!”

At this moment, Garp shouted, and a tremendous power erupted from his fist. With a single punch, he shook the air, and everything around them began to shatter. On top of its overwhelming power, he further boosted the destructive power with Color of Arms Haki.

Even Xanxus couldn’t help but frown in the face of such a terrifying power.

Knuckle couldn’t afford to underestimate Garp’s sudden powerful attack. The Sun Flame on his body became more intense, and the cells in his body became highly active, giving him pure strength. This power was concentrated on his left arm, emitting a dazzling light like the sun.

“Ultimate Sun!”

Golden light burst forth like the sun that descended. As Knuckle threw his punch, the golden light was even brighter than Sengoku’s Buddha form, making it unclear who was the true Buddha.

“Boom!”

As their attacks collided, the surrounding was illuminated with blinding light along with thunderous explosion.

Even the ice created by Aokiji was destroyed to pieces at the point of impact. Even if Aokiji froze the sea even deeper, it would still struggle to withstand the overwhelming power.

Upon impact, it seemed as if the space itself was distorted. Then…

The overwhelming Sun Flame and Color of Arms Haki-imbued attack disappeared, as if it was never there to begin with. 

“Now this is what I’m talking about! Hahaha, you’re truly an ultimate opponent, Garp!”

Knuckle was getting more and more excited. “This is truly an amazing battle. But getting cornered by you certainly is not fun. However, it doesn’t matter. Such a battle is worth to enjoy!”

For Knuckle, Garp was definitely a once in a lifetime opponent.

“Enjoy, you said? Unfortunately, I carry the weigh of justice on my back!” 

Garp shouted as he rushed toward Knuckle. Knuckle was indeed a worthy opponent, but as he had said many times before, he was a Marine, and Vongola Family was a source of chaos, just like pirates. Although they were not scoundrels like most pirates, they were like Roger

“Justice and such can be set aside until this battle is over!”

Knuckle’s eyes narrowed as he watched Garp charged toward him. His momentum skyrocketed at this time as he faced the strongest man in the Marine!
