Taking the Fist of Impact head-on, even Roland couldn't do it completely unscathed.
After all, this was the signature move of the legendary Navy Hero who had cornered Pirate King Roger.
As a pure martial arts expert without a Devil Fruit, Garp's mastery of Haki was naturally extraordinary.
Armament Haki goes without saying, and his Conqueror's Haki is also top-tier.
After all, his son and grandson both have it, so it would be unreasonable for the grandfather, as the source, not to have it.
Coupled with his years of fighting Pirate King Roger, Garp's Conqueror's Haki Infusion was also perfected.
If it were Roland before he obtained max-level Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic, taking these two moves from Garp in succession would likely have left him incapacitated.
However…
Now that he has awakened the Thunder Dragon King, even taking two of Navy Hero's ultimate techniques head-on, Roland can still endure.
Because the Thunder Dragon King mode not only amplifies the power of lightning but also provides an incredibly strong physique.
Dragon Slayer Magic, at its final stage, is the path of Draconification, transforming from human to dragon.
Although Roland has not yet reached this final step, his physique is already far beyond that of ordinary people.
This is also the confidence he has to be overconfident and use his physical body to withstand Garp's ultimate move.
"Cough, cough."
Roland coughed again, covering his mouth, and slowly stepped forward, walking in front of Garp.
"Truly worthy of a legend, that move really worked!"
"Don't joke around, that's not the face of someone who was affected!"
Garp exposed him.
"To be able to withstand my fist, you're an incredible fellow, but why didn't you attack?"
"I have to let the elderly have two moves first; otherwise, I'm afraid once I make a move, you won't have a chance to move at all!"
Roland grinned.
"Pfft ha ha ha ha, good boy, you're arrogant enough!"
Garp laughed, a hearty laugh.
"Good, good, good. Since you've taken two of this old man's moves, then it's my turn next!"
Garp stopped attacking and entered a defensive stance.
He had already understood Roland's intention.
If the two of them were to fight all-out.
No matter how much they held back, Windmill Village would inevitably be razed to the ground.
Since that's the case, it might as well become turn-based.
Just now, Roland took two of his moves.
So next, it would be his turn to take Roland's moves.
"2.8 Come at me, this old man will take it all!"
Garp bumped his fists together, fully prepared.
"Alright then!"
Roland nodded and calmly stepped forward.
His aura was restrained to the extreme, making him look like an ordinary person, completely harmless.
"Hmm?"
Garp frowned.
"Boy, aren't you going to use that lightning ability?"
Garp had naturally read the battle report from the Enies Lobby incident.
He knew that Roland possessed a terrifying power of crimson-black lightning.
However…
Looking at Roland's relaxed posture now, it seemed he had no intention of using that power.
"Is he planning to stop at a certain point?"
Garp couldn't help but think, and his previously tense spirit relaxed accordingly.
However…
In the very next second.
A strange sense of dread assailed Garp's heart.
Making him involuntarily hold his breath, his heartbeat erratic.
Even his Haki, which he usually controlled as easily as an arm, showed signs of slipping out of control.
Before Garp could ponder and figure out the reason, in the next instant, Roland's fist landed on Garp's chest like lightning.
Fist of Impact—Unrivaled Blow!!!
The tall and robust body of the legendary Navy Hero Garp froze.
Then, under the shocked, horrified, disbelieving, and incredible gazes of everyone, he fell straight back, head first.
Unrivaled Blow.
As the name suggests.
No second strike is needed.
Navy Hero Garp, defeated?!
