The Beehive: Garp vs Starrk and Cregan

(A/N: For anyone interested, which I doubt, I have released a new novel. I'll be focused on that novel instead of the fanfic so don't expect many updates from this, I'll try to give you guys at least one chapter per week, I apologize. I hope you guys can check it out and if you do, I appreciate it. The more people that check out my original work, the more I'll probably be motivated to get on the grind. Again, it is only if you're interested. It is called The Dragon's Blood: The Prince and The Maiden. Don't think I've forgotten that this fanfic is the most successful I've had on this website. I appreciate you guys. Thank you.)

(3rd Person View)

"I must say, your body is quite tough if you withstood that punch." Garp told Starrk as he smirked menacingly, "I wasn't pulling my punch there… hehe, pun intended!"

Starrk braced himself and readied his blade as sweat started to run down the side of his face. He knew damn well how dangerous Monkey D. Garp was. The Hero of The Marines, Garp The Fist, this man was nothing to scoff at.

As they faced each other, the marines that were there had scattered around the field due to Garp's attack. Ricky and Anne looked at the crater caused by the punch in awe.

"He survived Vice-Admiral Garp's punch?" Ricky said completely shocked, "What the actual hell?!

Anne narrowed her eyes as sweat ran down her forehead, "He's not normal…"

Garp started to crack his knuckles, "Now how about I add a little armament to my punches now." He said, "I meant to break that sword of yours but I suppose it's sturdier than it looks."

Cregan walked up next to Starrk, "Ready yourself, Starrk." He said as he readied his sword, "We're up against a troublesome foe."

"Oh, you think?!" Starrk retorted, "I know damn well who this is!"

Cregan raised an eyebrow, "That's surprising."

Garp chuckled, "And I know who you are." He said, "The Man Who Can See The Future. Starrk."

Starrk narrowed his eyes, "Huh?"

Garp then placed one of his hands in his pocket and used the other one to start cleaning his ear.

"Yea, according to the higher ups, You're some kind of psychic or something." He said, "They say you can see the future, but I just assume it's good observation haki. Sengoku tells me it is different than that."

Starrk readied his blade, "Yea well, don't believe everything you say." He said

"Ha!" Garp said, "You're an interesting guy! I also hear you are somewhat related to Whitebeard! Is that true?"

"I want to know who's been spreading those fucking rumors!!" Starrk growled frustratingly as he lunged at Garp

He swung his blade at the marine, who merely stopped it with his arm which was coated in Armament Haki. The force of the strike was strong enough to cause a shockwave that shook the ground. This is something that took even Cregan by surprise. He didn't expect for Starrk to attack the Hero in a frontal assault.

Garp smirked, "Some balls you got there." He said as he pushed Starrk back with his arm, "Let's see what else you got!!"

Starrk jumped back and immediately dodged to his left as Garp was coming in with a straight right. He saw as the marine was smirking at him. Not taking any chances, he jumped away once again and prepared for another attack.

Before Garp can follow through, Cregan attacked him with his sword. Garp had seen this coming and stopped the blade with his armament-coated hand.

"You two aren't too bad, I'll admit." Garp stated as he punched Cregan in the stomach, "But it ain't enough."

"Agghhhh!!!!" Cregan shouted out in pain as he was sent flying backward

Starrk was about to attack him as well but Garp had already lunged at him with insane speed, his right fist reared back and coated in Armament.

"Too slow." Garp smirked as he slammed his fist on the back of Starrk's head, "You still need some training!!!"

Starrk immediately lost consciousness as the fist drove him face-first into the ground, causing a massive crater beneath.

Garp then placed his hands in his pockets as he stepped back.

"Ha! These twerps weren't much of an issue!" He laughed, "Alright let's go and see if Ochouko has any tea!"

He turned around and started to walk away. But before he could take the third step, He stopped. He then looked behind and saw that Starrk's head was moving.

"What the.." He said, "I am sure you lost consciousness."

Starrk then pulled himself up to his knees as he glared at Garp, blood running down his face from the punch.

"That fucking hurt, you bastard!!" He growled

Garp looked at him with a surprised expression, "How in the hell did you regain consciousness so quickly?" He said, "You are a strange one indeed."

Garp then also noticed that Cregan had gotten up from where he had crashed against. He was clutching his stomach while he gave the marine a serious glare.

Starrk stood up on his feet and then pointed his blade at Garp. Garp narrowed his eyes as he noticed a change in the man in front of him. Decades of experience allowed the Hero of The Marines to get a read of people he encounters. Something had drastically changed in Starrk and Garp knew it.

"I'm gonna bury you." Starrk hissed with anger,

"You're dead, Old Man."
