"A dog-headed warship?"
Old Cai's expression changed slightly.
For Chinjao, the strongest pillar of the Eight Treasure Water Army and a possessor of Conqueror's Haki.
They knew very well why his grandfather's pointed head, capable of shattering icebergs, had collapsed.
Since they were born until now.
Every time Chinjao mentioned that dog-headed warship, his words were filled with endless rage.
However, due to the disparity in strength, Chinjao's hope for revenge was dashed, and he had been hiding in his country.
If this time, Doflamingo took out a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit as the prize for the tournament.
At the same time, Chinjao also intended to train Old Cai, making him the new successor of the Eight Treasure Water Army.
Perhaps Chinjao would never step out of the country again and onto the sea until his death.
However, what Chinjao never expected was that Garp, whom he often mentioned and vowed to defeat, would also come to this place to join the fun.
Thinking of this guy who became more monstrous with age, Chinjao's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Old Cai, immediately have someone steer and change direction. After we seize the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, we'll get revenge on Garp!"
With these words, Chinjao turned and intended to retreat into the ship's cabin to avoid the limelight for the time being.
After all, just a moment ago, he had boasted about his past strength.
Now, to suddenly encounter Garp, it was too quick to be slapped in the face.
However, no matter how hard Chinjao racked his brain, he couldn't understand why Garp, who generally disliked getting involved in trouble, would appear in this place.
But as Chinjao turned, a hearty laugh rang out first.
"Haha, old man Chinjao, I didn't expect to see you, this immortal old fellow, after more than twenty years. I thought you were hiding in some corner crying and had already turned to dust."
Garp's voice suddenly rang out.
Chinjao, who was turning to leave, turned ashen. He was very wary of Garp after losing his pointed head.
In the original story, he could only make fleeting appearances through Luffy.
However, now that he had been recognized by Garp in public.
If he turned and left, it would be a disgrace to his fallen title of the Eight Treasure Water Army.
With this thought, Chinjao's expression darkened, and he turned around and roared angrily.
"Garp, you immortal old bastard, I haven't avenged our past grievances yet. Today, meeting you, I'll let you know that I, Chinjao, am not a pushover..."
A stern roar erupted.
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, a black iron ball tens of meters in diameter appeared above the dog-headed warship.
With the help of the vice-captain's Devil Fruit ability on the ship, Garp could instantly obtain iron balls of various sizes.
He had already used this when chasing Luffy in Water 7 in the original story.
Now, encountering an old opponent by chance, it undoubtedly ignited Garp's playful spirit.
In full view of everyone, he grabbed an iron ball larger than the warship and, without any fancy moves, hurled it forward.
"Old man Chinjao, it's been a long time since you tasted my skills. I hope your small body hasn't degenerated. It would be bad if I accidentally killed you!"
Garp's laughter rang out again.
The giant iron ball, with the tightening sound of chains, was instantly hurled forward.
With a sharp whistling sound, it descended with overwhelming force, crushing towards Chinjao's pirate ship in the distance.
This sudden turn of events instantly made Old Cai and the others' faces change drastically.
They had never expected that the dignified Hero of the Marines, Garp, would attack without a word.
Facing this iron ball capable of instantly shattering their ship, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Subconsciously, they cast their urgent gazes towards Chinjao.
Facing this archenemy and the title of Hero of the Marines.
On this pirate ship, only Chinjao could contend with him.
"Garp, you bastard, you're going too far!" Chinjao's face darkened, veins bulging on his forehead.
A violent aura swept out from him.
Looking at the attack descending from the sky, the originally caved-in pointed head, covered in ink-black Armament Haki, instantly solidified.
He stomped heavily on the ground and shot towards the sky.
His speed was so fast that he instantly collided with the crushing giant iron ball.
Boom!
A thunderous, dull collision sound suddenly echoed.
The immense impact caused the surrounding air to momentarily stagnate.
In the next moment, it exploded.
Chinjao's body sank slightly in mid-air, and in full view of everyone, he looked up at the sky.
Sensing the immense force of the descending pressure, veins bulged on his forehead, and Chinjao roared angrily again.
"Garp, you bastard, I will kill you!"
"Eight Pulses Fist Secret Technique: Cone Dragon, Spike Nail!"
As the words fell, the Haki flow that erupted from Chinjao's body surged instantly.
He thrust his head forward. The iron ball, which had been descending with overwhelming force, was instantly deflected.
Its trajectory was aimed directly at the dog-headed warship where Garp was located.
Facing Chinjao's counterattack, the Navy soldiers on the ship showed no panic.
Except for the new recruits, who looked shocked. The veterans who had fought alongside Garp for years were already accustomed to it.
However, this time, before Garp could make a move, another figure with silver hair also moved.
"Chinjao, it's been a long time. I can't let Garp have all the spotlight in front of the students!" Zephyr's voice rang out first.
With a heavy stride, he used Soru to its extreme.
Like a phantom, he appeared before the crushing iron ball.
His right arm muscles bulged, and as the ink-black Armament Haki rapidly covered it.
Without any fancy moves, with a backward flow of Ryuo, he struck the iron ball!
"Black Arm: Hard Impact!"
Boom!
With one punch, the iron ball descending from the sky momentarily paused.
In the next moment, without any fancy moves, it shot upwards like a cannonball.
With immense force, the iron ball, seemingly tens of meters in size, slammed into the sea hundreds of meters away under the dumbfounded gazes of many.
Bang!
Large amounts of waves were blasted open.
The resulting tsunami quickly rolled outwards.
As the gushing seawater fell like a torrential rain.
Looking at the slightly aged figure that landed beside Garp again.
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
The Navy's presence here was already unexpected.
However, what shocked them the most, besides the Hero of the Marines, Garp.
Was the appearance of the former Admiral Zephyr.
These two powerhouses from the old era suddenly appearing here.
It couldn't be just a simple reunion with Chinjao, could it?
If they weren't here for Chinjao, then what at Doflamingo's tournament could attract these two old monsters?
