Vongola Primo in One Piece - Chapter 360
On the ice…
Well, it was more of a body of water rather than ice now, as the ice in that area has been destroyed. Every time Knuckle and Garp clash, the ice beneath them would be crushed!
Terrifying shockwaves were generated every time they clashed!
The bright golden light and the intense Haki clash made the battle look even more intense. This evenly matched battle was extremely intense. Knuckle and Garp’s strength exceeded everyone’s expectations, especially the Marine soldiers and the newcomers among Vongola Family. They had only heard the legends about these two, but they had never witnessed their true power until now.
Seeing them in action, they realized just how terrifying those two individuals were!
Even Aokiji and Kizaru didn’t think they could handle those two.
“Galaxy Divide!”
Garp shouted and then used Soru and Geppo, changing direction mid-air and quickly charged toward Knuckle, delivering a punch straight for his chest.
Faced with this attack, Knuckle remained calm and swiftly caught Garp’s lightning-fast punch. After concentrating the Sun Flame, he immediately launched a counterattack, and their explosive power collided once again! They both immediately moved back this time, and after using a floating ice as a footing, they leaped into the air and continued their clash.
Even though their fight was evenly matched, it became boring after a while. Initially, many people were curious and excited to see two strong individuals clash, but as the battle continued, it became somewhat monotonous. Every time they clashed, it was just a collision of raw power, even if Knuckle used Sun Flame while Garp used Haki, there was nothing special about it.
While the visual impact was strong, you would get tired after watching it for a while. However, perceptive individuals would notice that Garp had the upper hand up to this point, but Knuckle was tenacious! Even after clashing with Garp for so long, he didn’t show any sign of exhaustion.
This was something that people like Sengoku and the other Marine officers didn’t understand due to their lack of knowledge about Sun Flame’s abilities. If they knew, they would certainly advise Garp not to engage in a long battle with Knuckle.
At this moment, Ugetsu Asari walked slowly toward Alaudi. He observed the fierce battle between Knuckle and Garp, then murmured, “Knuckle is actually losing ground in pure close combat? This is quite rare. I thought no one in this world could match his close combat skills, but it turns out there is someone in the Marines who can surpass him in this aspect.”
“I’m surprised too, but if he has Vongola Box Weapon, he should be evenly matched with his opponent if not come out on top.” Alaudi nodded and continued.
Currently, there were only three people in the Family who possessed Vongola Box Weapon: Giotto, Lampow, and himself. So he knew very well how much Vongola Box Weapon could enhance one’s strength. If he could use it proficiently and draw its full power, this battle wouldn’t have lasted this long, and he would have taken down Sengoku long ago.
“Vongola Box Weapon, huh? I’ll have to wait until Verde make mine. To be honest, I’m kinda looking forward to what my Vongola Box Weapon will be like.” Ugetsu Asari smiled slightly. Although he was a swordsman, he was also intrigued by the Box Weapon.
After all, it was a very unique item…
“You’re done with your fight already? You didn’t kill that kid, did you?” Alaudi asked.
“That kid sure makes a really quick progress. This time, I didn’t hold back, but he managed to mitigate the damage from my technique, so he survived. In the future, he’s likely to get into my level,” Ugetsu Asari said with a smile.
Ugetsu Asari believed that Mihawk would be worthy to challenge him with the Greatest Swordsman in the World title on the line soon
Just at that moment, Alaudi, Ugetsu Asari, and Xanxus all furrowed their brows and turned their gaze to another direction.
“Ultimate Cannon Barrage!”
Suddenly, Knuckle unleashed an extremely powerful attack. Utilizing the momentum of his fall, he concentrated Sun Flame and relentlessly bombarded Garp with it!
This attack made Garp’s expression suddenly change, but he didn’t make any attempt to dodge. In the air, it was difficult to evade such an attack.
Therefore, he clenched his fists and punched Knuckle’s barrage of Sun Flame with all his might.
“Boom!”
A massive explosion occurred, and Garp was sent flying, crashing heavily onto a chunk of solid ice. Knuckle’s attack was indeed terrifying. Moreover, the momentum of his fall further enhanced the power of his attack, making it hard for Garp to defend himself. However, he wasn’t seriously injured, just looking a bit disheveled.
However, at this very moment, a figure rushed towards Knuckle following a shout: “All criminals must die! Nether Dog!”
He ruthlessly punched Knuckle with a magma-covered punch!
No one could have anticipated that Admiral Akainu would resort to such a despicable act at this moment. He took advantage of the fact that Knuckle couldn’t counterattack after unleashing that attack earlier.
If he succeeded, even with Sun Flame protecting him, Knuckle would be seriously injured at the very least.
Seeing Akainu’s sudden move, Sengoku was both angry and somewhat hopeful…
He was angry that Akainu would stoop so low, potentially breaking the agreement made between them and Vongola Family. However, he was hopeful that if Akainu could land this blow and heavily wound or even kill Knuckle, then they would have a chance to continue this battle. Not only that, they already won half of this battle.
Killing one of Vongola Family’s Guardians in a battle where the Marines had practically mobilized their entire force was not bad.
But there was someone who found Akainu’s actions unacceptable among the Marine…
“As a Marine who upholds justice, you would stoop this low?”
