Chapter 3: Monster

"Come on, kid!" Garp gestured with his hands, indicating for Vell to make the first move.

Vell immediately erupted, swinging his long sword towards Garp with all his might. He didn't need to hold back in front of Garp, as he could go all out.

Clang!

Garp smiled and raised his hand, using his index and middle fingers to directly clamp down on Vell's sword. In an instant, both fingers turned pitch black. There was a metallic clash as the long sword collided with Garp's fingers, creating sparks that flew everywhere. Vell's expression slightly changed.

Lowering his body, Vell quickly swung his sword horizontally towards Garp's waist. But Vell's speed was fast, and Garp's speed was even faster. Vell's full force strike was easily blocked by Garp.

Clang clang clang!

Next, Vell almost turned into an afterimage. He continuously attacked Garp from different directions at an extremely fast speed. Garp lightly smiled and easily defended against all of Vell's attacks.

The two of them exchanged blows, and the dust and debris flew up all around them. Koby and Helmeppo were stunned by the spectacle.

"Oh my god! Vell and Vice Admiral Garp, what kind of monsters are they?!"

"Is Vell really just a nine-year-old kid? His strength is way too terrifying!"

"No wonder he's Vice Admiral Garp's grandson. Is this what a genius looks like?!"

They exchanged a glance and couldn't help but bitterly smile. Luffy was also Vice Admiral Garp's family member, and his strength was also incredibly formidable. But if they were to compare him with Vell at this moment, Luffy probably wouldn't stand a chance!

This was truly frightening!

Clang!

Once again, Vell and Garp separated from each other. Facing Garp, Vell was thoroughly enjoying the fight. At the same time, he kept hearing the sound of the system's prompts in his ear.

"Acquired Strength attribute +1!"

"Acquired Strength attribute +1!"

"Acquired Strength attribute +1!"

In a short period of time, his strength had risen from 50 to 101 points.

Garp's pressure increased noticeably in response to Vell's improvement during their fight.

"This kid is constantly improving during the battle?" From the beginning of the fight, where he could easily deal with Vell, to now, where he had to take him seriously, even though Vell couldn't pose any real threat to him.

The continuous and uninterrupted slashes were all chopped in one place with precise and incredibly swift movements, displaying Vell's demonic potential.

"Alright kid, it's time to end this!"

With a flickering gaze, Garp felt that it was enough. It's good to have talent, but it also needs some discipline. What if Vell thinks he can fight against the Admiralty now?

As he spoke, Garp used a little bit of force. His entire fist was covered with a dark metallic sheen.

"Is it over?"

Vell smiled faintly. "It's up to me to end it!"

"Hmm?"

Garp raised an eyebrow, but he didn't care. But the next moment, what did he see?

The samurai sword didn't even lift, and Vell was in an entirely defenseless position.

"Has Vell given up?"

Koby wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt relieved. This is insane. He can fight against the Admiralty for so long. If they continued, both he and Berumebor would doubt their lives.

Thankfully, it's finally over.

"You!"

Garp sensed that something was wrong but couldn't quite understand it. Meanwhile, Vell stared intently at Garp.

"Haki, Haoshoku Haki!"

It was as if an instinct engraved in his body, an unprecedented aura centered on Vell spread out.

In an instant, the faint aura became as turbulent as a raging sea, and the fearsome Haoshoku Haki swept in all directions, even inadvertently affecting the nearby giant beasts, including Garp, Koby, and Berumebor, all of whom were engulfed in this unprecedented aura.

"Boom!"

Immediately after, Vell tightly grasped the long sword in his hand and gathered power to unleash an incredibly powerful slash.

Garp was utterly shocked as the slash collided with his fist and sent him flying.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Garp crashed to the ground, raising a large cloud of dust.

"The strongest Vice Admiral, indeed terrifying."

Vell was not surprised but shook his head. Even with a surprise attack using Haoshoku Haki and his strongest slash, he could only knock Garp away, not even breaking his defense.

"Hahaha!"

At this time, Garp's hearty laughter came through. He stood up, dusted off his clothes, and walked up to Vell. He put his large hand on Vell's head and smiled with tears in his eyes.

This is a pleased smile!

My grandson is a genius!

He's only eight years old!

He not only stepped into the swordsman realm but also comprehended Haoshoku Haki!

What a monster!
