Sabo laughed and shook his head, also disbelieving this fact.
"Mr. Garp... Mr. Garp really..."
Makino didn't have the big heart of the Straw Hat brothers; upon hearing the news of Mr. Garp's death, she immediately burst into tears.
"Don't worry, Makino-chan, Rolin's previous strike had no killing intent!"
Miss Tohru comforted her.
"That's right, Mr. Rolin wouldn't kill people casually!"
"Especially a good person like Vice Admiral Garp..."
"Don't worry, it's probably a mistake!"
"Even if it's true, Captain has a way to bring him back!"
The girls spoke one after another, relaxed.
Even they, who unconditionally trusted and adored Roland, didn't quite believe that Mr. Garp had been casually hammered to death by Roland with a single punch.
The commotion continued to escalate.
Marines surrounded Mr. Garp's corpse three layers deep, eager to confirm the truth.
At the very center, Bogado and the ship's doctor were trying everything to revive Mr. Garp's heartbeat and pulse.
However, with their strength, they were powerless and could do nothing.
Just as despair set in.
"If you don't want your Vice Admiral Garp to truly die, then move aside now!" Roland's faint voice rang out.
"You fellow…"
"Five Emperors Rolin, what exactly…"
"What exactly did you do to Vice Admiral Garp?"
Though the Marines grumbled and rebuked him, their bodies obediently cleared a path.
Roland calmly stepped forward and crouched beside Mr. Garp, who was in a state of shock.
He raised his right hand, and electricity coursed between his fingers. 287
Sizzle, sizzle!
Bang!
Electrotherapy Shock!!!
Roland's large hand, crackling with electricity, slammed onto Mr. Garp's chest, repeating this several times.
Whoosh!
Mr. Garp's tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open.
He opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and then exhaled.
His pulse, breathing, and heartbeat all returned.
"I was careless! I didn't dodge! Doesn't count, doesn't count!" This was the first thing Mr. Garp said upon waking from his shock.
"Oh, oh, oh!"
"Vice Admiral Garp is awake!"
"Hahahaha, I knew it…"
"How could our Navy's legendary hero easily bite the dust!"
All the elite Marines cheered with excitement and exhilaration.
"Whew~"
"That's great!"
"It's really great that Mr. Garp is alive!"
The villagers, led by Village Chief Slap, all let out a long breath.
"Hehehe, see, see? I told you Grandpa was faking it!" The Luffy giggled.
"What the heck, that smelly old man, he really gave us false hope!" Dadan, the bandit, pouted.
"It seems this must be the effect of the Five Emperors' unique technique. To be able to subdue even Grandpa Garp, that's truly incredible!" Sabo exclaimed.
"Mr. Roland, you are truly amazing~" The revolutionary girl Koala excitedly jogged to Roland's side.
"Of course, that's a given~"
"After all, he's our captain!"
"Big Brother is invincible!"
"My brother is the strongest!"
The girls' joyful shouts were interrupted by the urgent ringing of a Transponder Snail.
The girls' gazes all simultaneously turned to Nami.
"Sorry, it's a call from my sister!" Nami took out a special private-line Transponder Snail from her cleavage and answered it.
"Nojiko, wha—"
Before Nami could speak.
"Nami, the village… Cocoyasi Village… it's gone!" Nojiko's despairing, tearful voice came through.
In an instant, the smiles vanished from everyone's faces.
"Thor!"
"Understood!"
Thor waved his hand, opening a spatial portal.
Roland and all the girls boarded the ship immediately.
"Koala, what are you doing?" Seeing his companion board the ship, Sabo quickly scrambled and sprinted, leaping into the portal just before it closed.
