Roger came with fierce momentum, his blade, infused with Conqueror's Haki, glinted with cold light, its sharpness capable of cutting from a distance.
Roger was extremely fast, and Garp, having retreated a step, lost his best interception opportunity, allowing Roger an unobstructed path.
"Hehehe! Good!"
Kenji's entire body flowed with Conqueror's Haki, and the light on his right fist was blazing and dazzling.
However, before punching, he first used Emission to remotely bombard with Conqueror's Haki, considering it a small test.
Zzzzzzt— Poof!!
The flowing Conqueror's Haki instantly rushed before Roger, only to be cut and broken by Ace.
Clearly, Roger had pulled out all the stops this time, pushing his power to the extreme.
"Why does he look like he's trying to fight me to the death?" Kenji couldn't help but chuckle.
"It's not like I just beat your Left and Right Arms until they couldn't get up."
"Oh, and probably you too, you're about to get beaten down!"
In a smile, Kenji unleashed both fists, striking with heavy blows amidst endless Haki light.
Garp, seeing this from afar, broke out in a sweat. He had been clashing with Roger at full power for half a day and hadn't sweated this much.
In extreme impatience, Garp could no longer tolerate his 'slow' running. Even if he was running a hundred meters per second, he felt it was too slow, like 'crawling.'
The next moment, Garp's feet continuously stomped the ground with heavy force, creating explosions and leaving behind deep craters.
Utilizing the continuous massive recoil, Garp surged forward at high speed, like lightning.
However, he was still a step too late, only able to watch as Kenji's heavy fist, covered in Haki, collided with Roger's blade from a distance.
Boom!!
Boom!!
At the last moment, Garp forcibly twisted his body and rapidly descended to the ground, abruptly stopping his forward momentum.
The immense impact created a large crater in the ground, and the area trembled with a loud roar.
And less than ten meters in front of him was Roger's back.
"Ahhh! Damn it!!"
Garp ultimately didn't throw a punch, but furiously unleashed his punch towards the distance, soon followed by another boom.
Although he desperately wanted to defeat and capture Roger, to the point of obsession, Garp did not want to defeat him by sneak attack from behind.
In fact, Garp's attitude towards Roger was very complex. On one hand, he desperately wanted to capture him, and on the other, he also held some respect for him.
At least he didn't dislike Roger, otherwise, he wouldn't have been willing to help raise his child, even treating him like his own grandson.
Boom... Boom... Boom!!!
Ten meters opposite Garp, successive thunderous impacts of fist against sword echoed, and the overflowing Haki tore through the earth, the aftermath of the battle easily overturning everything around.
However, Garp remained rooted to the spot, unwilling to leave, preferring to endure wave after wave of terrifying pressure and energy waves.
At this moment, he could only watch enviously.
However, Roger, who was locked in battle with Kenji, was not happy at all.
"Whoa! When did you get so strong?" Roger shouted, but the 'Ace' in his hand moved no slower.
"You're almost 70 years old, fighting like this must be very tiring for you." Roger spoke words of concern, but a grin spread across his face.
"Hahaha! Your jokes aren't very funny, kid!" A smile flashed in Kenji's eyes, and he increased the force of his punches.
At the same time, the Conqueror's Haki on his body converged and once again flowed outward.
Bang!
The flowing and emitted Conqueror's Haki bypassed the frontal Ace, striking Roger from the side.
"Ah! You ambushed me!"
Roger was sent flying sideways, his body shaking violently, and large bruise marks appeared on the areas he was hit.
At this moment, he felt his blood churning, almost unable to maintain his Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
Before Roger could recover, Kenji's next punch arrived.
"You've exposed a weakness, kid!" Kenji chuckled as he threw his punch, instantly unleashing a tide of Haki.
It was still Conqueror's Haki Emission, which Roger found impossible to stop.
Ace, wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, could block frontal punch force, but it couldn't defend against the omnipresent Conqueror's Haki Emission.
Boom... Boom... Boom!!!
Under continuous heavy punches, Roger's body vibrated with a 'humming' sound, and golden stars swam before his eyes.
"Wait, wait a minute."
Roger's blood was boiling, almost bursting through his body.
He quickly waved his hand, saying, "What kind of power is this? Don't you consume anything when using this power?"
He looked a bit dazed but still found it unbelievable.
Normally, the stronger the power, the greater the consumption for the user.
But Roger could see that Kenji didn't look very exhausted. Earlier, Conqueror's Haki Emission was used one time after another, but now he's using it continuously without interruption.
Especially since Kenji was also an old man over sixty.
For ordinary people, at this age, they should have retired and gone home to play with their grandchildren.
Yet, Kenji continued to throw heavy punches at full power, not even breathing heavily, ridiculously fierce.
"He's even more ferocious than Garp, hey!" Roger's expression was horrified, and he even began to wonder if Kenji was even human.
Kenji did not respond to Roger's questions. He just smiled silently, only throwing heavy punches.
The flowing Conqueror's Haki continuously clashed with Ace, then penetrated his defense, causing Roger's body to emit explosive sounds.
"Wah!"
Roger was shaken dizzy, spitting blood repeatedly, and shouted, "This isn't the battle I wanted..."
"Shouldn't real men decide victory and defeat face to face?"
"Oh?"
Kenji's eyebrows raised at the words, and he looked at Roger with a half-smile.
The tidal wave of punches suddenly slowed down.
"Hmm!"
Roger noticed the punch offensive slowing down and quickly stabilized his 'humming' body, opening his mouth as if to say something more.
However, before he could speak, Kenji had already thrown another punch.
This punch carried a massive Haki that connected heaven and earth, its terrifying power seemingly capable of annihilating everything.
"Not good!" Roger was greatly alarmed.
Stimulated by the death crisis, the deepest potential within his body was mobilized, and he gripped Ace with both hands, unleashing the strongest slash of his life.
"Divine Departure!!!" Roger roared loudly, adding a majestic aura to his slash.
Then, the slash was shattered by Kenji's heavy punch, which landed squarely on Roger's face.
Roger flew far back, already unconscious in mid-air.
