"Now that the warm-up is over, brat, prepare yourself for some real beating," Garp said with a slight smile on his face before he used Soru to appear immediately on his side with his fist shining in metallic black.

Seeing an attack coming toward his face, Leo tries to block his fist, but the punch is much more powerful than any previous one.

.

"Finally, we are here," Ace said as they both reached the dock.

Both of them quickly found the place where the black pearl was docked.

"What took you so long?" Dan asked loudly from the deck as he saw both of them reaching the ship.

"And where is Captain, Ace?" Dan asked as he didn't see Leo anywhere near.

"He is stopping this dumbass Grandpa from arresting us," Zoro said as they both stepped onto the ship's deck.

Then Zoro quickly took out his card and sent the message to Leo that they had reached the ship and were now waiting for him.

"So, where is everyone else?" Zoro asked before looking in the direction of the town.

"Making sure the person you have kidnapped is alright," Dan replied with a deadpan expression.

It can clearly be seen that Dan doesn't support Zoro's decision to kidnap Tashigi when she doesn't want to come with them.

"Stop, you will not get away, pirate scum," Smoker yelled in a voice full of anger as he quickly flew toward the ship.

Seeing him fly toward them, Ace asked,

"So, should I head over and deal with him, or do you want to finish your fight with him?"

As Smoker was about to reach the ship, Zoro jumped toward him with a sword in one hand. At the same time, the other held a newly acquired jitte after saying, "Don't worry, I will deal with him."

Dan muttered under his breath, "No one is worried here," after seeing Zoro, jumped toward the Marine captain to clash with him in mid-air.

.

Seeing him coming, Smoker quickly transforms his hand into a giant hammer made of concentrated smoke and strikes toward him.

Zoro seeing no way to dodge this hammer in mid-air, tries to attack him with his seastone jitte.

*Baam*

Zoro was quickly sent to the ground at neck-breaking speed as both of their attacks clashed. Smoker's attack quickly overpowered him when the hammer struck him.

*Crashed*

But before Smoker could follow up with another attack, a jet of flame appeared in front, blocking his path.

Looking at the attack's origin, Smoker saw a boy with an orange hat shaking his head while his arm stretched toward him.

Although Smoker was aware of his threat, he used his smoke to condense a spear-like shape and dove toward him.

"That was really dumb of him," Dan said while shaking his head in disbelief.

While Smoker was getting closer and closer to the ship, neither Dan nor Ace moved to stop him.

Just as the attack was about to reach the ship, a quick flying slash was launched and destroyed the spear before it could hit the ship.

Smoker lands on the ground as he looks in the direction from which that flying slash has come.

"You were fighting me," Zoro said as he slowly walked toward Smoker with a wicked grin.

Smoker didn't reply, but his hand started transforming into a giant Warhammer as he rushed toward him using soru.

Zoro quickly sent another flying slash before rushing toward him.

Dodging the flying slash, Smoker continues to dash, but a familiar-looking jitte appears in his vision.

But before he could do anything, Zoro directly slammed the seastone-coated jitte on his face with his full strength.

*Baam*

Smoker was immediately sent flying, leaving a trail of blood in his wake.

Not leaving such an opportunity. Zoro dashed toward his fallen foe and quickly slammed jitte on his stomach, making him split a mouthful of blood.

Once he has been rendered powerless by the seastone, Zoro dragged him toward the ship.

.

Soon the sound of fighting ended outside, and calm was restored on the dock.

Inside the ship, all the girls were in a spare room that was used as a medical room, with the unconscious Tashigi on the bed.

When Dan brought her here and told them about her, they all were furious at Zoro for kidnapping her.

So what if she is your childhood friend and your master's only daughter? You cannot just kidnap someone like that.

But after thinking it through, they can somewhat understand Zoro's rash behavior in this matter. She is his childhood friend, who was supposed to be dead when he found her, but she has lost her memories and does not remember him.

So, Zoro just wants to help her recover her past memories. Still, after she declines his help, he snatches her here.

.

"So the fight ended outside?" Nami asked Rindou, as she was the only person in the crew with Observation Haki. Her Observation Haki could easily cover the whole town.

"Yeah, Zoro won and captured the Marine captain," Rindou replied absentmindedly as her focus was on someone else.

"He really has some fetish for capturing people after defeating them," Nojiko jokingly said.

Everyone laughed lightly except Rindou.

Seeing her so absentminded, Carina asked, "Rindou, what happened? Is Captain alright?"

After hearing her questions, everyone else got quiet. They all know Captain is currently trying to fight Ace's Grandpa, the Marine Hero Garp.

Rindou didn't reply. She should say that their Captain is currently getting beaten like a dog when they are all laughing.

But what can they even do? They are too weak to help him in this battle and will only burden him now.

.

*Baam*

*Baam*

*Crack*

*Baam*

*Crack*

Several minutes have passed since Garp began to take their little fight seriously, and since then, the battle has evolved into one side beating for Leo.

With each punch, Leo incurs more damage to his body, and it continues to happen without giving him even a chance to counterattack.

'From the start, I was not strong enough to fight him, but I didn't think I would be beaten like this. It's so frustrating when he isn't even using half of his strength,' Leo thought while trying to dodge at least one punch. Despite this, the punches continue to land on his body at blinding speed, preventing him from avoiding them.

As Leo was almost giving up on dodging, his senses flared on their own, and for a moment, he could feel everything in the town.

And at that moment, Leo subconsciously began to dodge his punches as if he could already determine their path before Garp could even launch them.

'W-what was this feeling, the feeling of sensing everything in this town and feeling what will happen before it really happens?' Leo thought with a dazed expression on his face.

But that feeling didn't last long, as his senses quickly returned to normal.

Garp has already stopped his attacks after he saw Leo dodge his punches subconsciously and now has a massive smile on his face.
