That's right,
A man who redefined the Ninja...
Without eating any special Devil Fruit, he could casually cast various Ninjutsu. Among them, the Wood Release, which could be called sorcery, overturned the understanding of countless people in the sea and defeated famous powerhouses.
Thinking of this, Garp couldn't help but fall into memories.
Ryker.
A god-like man.
He appeared out of nowhere a year ago.
It took him less than three days to unify Wano Country and become the God of Ninja of Wano Country!
Following that, the entire sea's nightmare began.
Because his Ninjutsu was freakish, his strength was powerful, and coupled with his "do whatever I want" personality, Ryker didn't give face to anyone on the sea. He had no reason for his actions and didn't play by the rules.
For example: When he was in a good mood, with a clap of his hands, he could make a large island overgrown with towering trees, turn a desert into an oasis, or create a wooden island on the surface of the sea.
When he was in a bad mood, he liked to beat people up everywhere, ignoring the dignity of countless strong men on the sea.
People like Rocks D. Xebec, Golden Lion Shiki, Edward Newgate, Gol D. Roger, Silvers Rayleigh, Commander-in-Chief Kong, and Sengoku had all been beaten by Ryker's Wood Release.
In the end, it developed into him attacking the Marines, the World Government, and major pirate crews every few days. He made them pay protection fees, despised the World Government's warnings, and killed Celestial Dragons like killing dogs, earning him the title of "The Ancestor" of the sea.
Finally, he forced the World Government to unite all parties and set up an ambush at God Valley to strangle Ryker.
Now the plan was successful.
He didn't know how long Ryker could hold on...
That's right, how long he could hold on.
As for winning?
That was impossible.
Indeed, Ryker's strength was freakish.
But... Garp didn't think that with so many high-end combat power gathered together, ganging up on Ryker without any martial ethics, they would lose.
In fact, not only Garp, but even Rocks D. Xebec, Golden Lion Shiki, Edward Newgate, Gol D. Roger, Silvers Rayleigh, Kong, Sengoku, and the others didn't think Ryker could escape this disaster.
They had him cornered; no one could save him...
"Hehe..."
Standing atop the Wood Human and looking down at everyone present, Ryker shrugged indifferently, revealing a helpless expression.
Although he knew early on that he would become a target of public criticism one day, he didn't expect it to come so quickly. Even with their different stances, the Marines and Pirates were able to temporarily set aside their past grievances and unite just to deal with him alone.
Using Uranus, one of the three Ancient Weapons, and some Devil Fruits with rare attributes as bait to lure him in...
"It seems that because things went too smoothly, my confidence overflowed, causing me to lose my vigilance and sense of crisis."
Ryker smiled and shook his head.
However, he would not regret it. As a transmigrator, possessing powerful strength, if he were to be timid and unable to do as he pleased, then he might as well not have transmigrated at all.
Develop in secret?
Keep a low profile?
No, that was impossible.
"Rocks D. Xebec, Gol D. Roger, Kong, to think you actually joined forces. You really think highly of me." In the next moment, the corners of Ryker's mouth curled up slightly, his face full of sarcasm.
"Hmph..."
Rocks D. Xebec snorted coldly and said, "Ryker, this is entirely your own fault."
"Ryker, I won't let you leave God Valley today. Your existence is a disaster for the sea." Gol D. Roger took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Your unscrupulous style of doing things was destined to lead to your own destruction."
"Ryker, from the moment you killed the Celestial Dragons, your fate was sealed."
Seeing Rocks D. Xebec and Gol D. Roger state their positions, Kong spoke firmly, "The righteous Marines will not tolerate you acting recklessly and disregarding the law on the sea any longer."
"Hahahaha..."
Hearing these words, Ryker couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Damn it, he didn't want to expose the petty thoughts of these guys in front of him. Wasn't it just because he was too strong and affected the interests of all parties?
Why talk so much nonsense?
Damn, acting all high-sounding and righteous, it was truly funny and disgusting.
"In that case, let's see the truth under our hands. Let's settle everything with combat!!" Ryker said indifferently.
Fine!
If there were only a few people, Ryker was confident he could win and retreat unscathed.
But... with so many people joining forces, he definitely couldn't retreat. He could only fight to the end with full firepower.
"System, I want to see the attribute panel..."
At this moment, Ryker silently commanded in his heart.
"Ding... Host attribute panel is being generated!!"
"Ding... Attribute panel generation complete!!"

Ryker's current attributes were simple and clear, yet they gave Ryker the courage and confidence to dominate the sea.
A year ago, Ryker transmigrated to Wano Country and directly obtained the Peak First Hokage - Senju Hashirama Template. From then on, he was unstoppable. In less than three days, he unified Wano Country and became the God of Ninja of Wano Country!
Next, Ryker began to sweep across the sea.
Because of his "do whatever I want" style of action, he was called the "Ancestor of the Sea," suppressing the Marines and Pirates until they couldn't breathe.
"Sigh, still lacking 0.1% to reach 100%..."
After a rough scan, a trace of helplessness flashed inadvertently in Ryker's eyes.
Throughout the year of sweeping across the sea, through constant battles and collecting Devil Fruits, he had been unlocking and fusing the First Hokage - Senju Hashirama Template. As a result, it got stuck at 99.9%, preventing him from drawing a second template for a long time.
Of course, even though it was only 99% unlocked, with the addition of the three types of Haki and the Marine Six Styles, Ryker's true strength far exceeded that of Senju Hashirama.
