Victor POV:

"Don't overestimate yourself," Garp appeared in front of Victor instantly as he clenched his fists and his monstrous muscles bulged out distorting the space around him with raw power as he landed a punch causing an explosion.

*Booom*

"Hohh...A devil fruit user. Are you the one who killed the CP5 agents?" Garp said in surprise as he found that his punch was blocked midair by the masked man whose blue eyes started glowing as he transformed into his hybrid Nephilim form. Two pairs of black wings sprouted from his back as he gained an immense boost in his overall stats.

"Ohh no no! I am only cleaning up a few pieces of trash and you wouldn't believe what I found," Victor said coldly as he pulled out the golden den den mushi from his pocket and tossed it in his hand. "I wonder if something interesting will happen if I press this button??"

"If I were you, then I'd return it before I get hurt kid. It's not something to play with," Garp's outburst with his release of conquerors haki drew the attention of Kuzan and Dragon who were fighting in the distance. Victor who was waiting for this moment also released his murderous haki to prevent Garp from knocking him out creating a clash of Conquror's. They were also surprised when they saw Victor's fingers on the button of the switch that could initiate a friking buster call.

"Noooo, Mirage. Don't do it, the entire city will wiped off the map." Dragon said in urgency and utter horror. As a former marine, how could he not realize the cursed item?

"Mr. Garp... You must stop him." Kuzan's eyes lit up when he saw the buster call device. 

"You marines want it back? Then you have to fight me more seriously, old man." Victor said before storing the device back in his dimensional pocket. "My offer is still on the table, do you dare to accept the challenge? If you can defeat me in the hand-to-hand fight then I might return your toy."

"I want to see what is giving you so much confidence," Garp said as he rolled up his sleeves. "Come at me.."

Victor's sly smirk was hidden behind his mask as he started his series of attacks as Garp dodged with his battle experience and monstrous physique. He had integrated hassoken with his MMA mastery to create a martial arts style that was exponentially dangerous and packed a punch.

"Bwahaha! You are that bastard's student. Let's see what you can offer brat, don't disappoint me!!" He instantly realized this was the special secret style of the Chinjo family with whom he used to clash in the Grand Line when he was younger. It's not every day that Garp faces an exciting battle so he decided to oblige with the challenge. Deactivating his conqurors' haki he decided to test this masked figure in a hand-to-hand fight like a man.

[Galaxy uppercut] Garp counterattacked but Victor who has enhanced Lunarian Physique was not to be taken lightly. What made him more dangerous than an ordinary Lunarian? Lunarians' physiology somehow grants them tremendous vitality and resilience to harm that borders on invulnerability, allowing them to thrive in any natural environment. However, it appears that, at certain points, a lunarian's signature durability is lost when the flame burning at their back goes out, though they will gain extra speed in exchange. But Victor didn't have this drawback, he could effortlessly switch between speed and defense at a moment's notice while keeping his flames and wings withdrawn. He effortlessly swayed his body, narrowly avoiding the Galaxy Uppercut that could shatter a mountain. Garp's eyes narrowed, recognizing the skill and agility of his opponent. As the fight went on Garp realised Victor was not some run-of-the-mill villain.

[Raid suit durability: 82%] 

Victor retaliated with a barrage of punches and kicks, each strike accompanied by a shockwave that resonated through the battlefield. Garp showcased his immense strength and agility, parrying and countering with precision. The clash of their fists echoed like thunder, creating a symphony of destruction that completely obliterated the port.

As the battle intensified, Garp noticed that Victor's movements were not solely reliant on his martial arts expertise. There was immense energy emanating from him due to his devil fruit power, and it became clear that the masked man possessed abilities beyond the realm of conventional fighters. Victor blurred as he executed a series of high-speed kicks, creating afterimages that momentarily confused even Garp's well-trained eyes. The legendary Marine Admiral found himself pushed to become more serious as he defended against the relentless onslaught.

[Raid suit durability: 69%] Victor could see the increasing amount of damage to his raid suit that could easily tank cannon blasts. Garp was on a completely different playing field even without his haki.

Garp grinned, reveling in the thrill of battle. "Not bad, not bad at all brat!" he bellowed, his laughter blending with the sounds of their clashes. His powerful fists met Victor's with tremendous force, sending shockwaves through the air. The masked warrior, however, was undeterred as he got up every time he was knocked down. With a swift spin, he unleashed a devastating roundhouse kick. Garp blocked it with his forearm, but the impact cracked the air itself. The force of the blow sent vibrations through Garp's entire body, showcasing the Lunarian's extraordinary strength before he grabbed Victor's leg and slammed him on the ground a few times like a ragdoll with a crazed laugh before throwing him into the icy battlefield so that he can go all out.

*Bangggg*

Dragon and Kuzan who were in the middle of their fight were surprised by the sudden impact as Victor crashed near the battlefield.

[Raid suit durability: 36%] 

*cough*

"Are you okay Mirage?" Dragon asked worriedly when he saw the latter had a few broken bones as he tried to stand up limply.

"Never better, you don't look too good yourself," Victor scoffed as he saw Dragon had also suffered a deadly frostbite, and one of his arms was completely frozen like a popsicle.

"Tchh!! How much longer do I have to hold him back?" Dragon replied in a little annoyance as he helped him block Kuazan's ice spike attack aimed at him. Victor sighed as he activated his [Divine Healing] and he started emitting a divine glow that healed both his and Dragon's injuries rapidly much to the latter's pleasant surprise.

"Just a few more minutes!!" Victor said as he looked toward Kuzan who was also equally injured and bleeding with many deadly cuts on his body. He realized that Dragon and Kuzan were almost equal in their strength, but he still was lacking in the overall proficiency of his devil fruit and haki to reach admiral level. His bluff was still working because Garp was not using his Armament Haki.

"What kind of power is this?" Kuzan was shocked when he saw that Dragon was healed back to his peak health once again.

"I ate the Hito Hito No Mi, Model: Nephilim, a mythical zoan making me an angelic human!" 

"Bwahaha!! Dragon, you found an interesting friend." A voice was heard from above as the giant like Garp landed beside Kuzan from the air. "You dare to hold back against me? Looks like I have to teach you both brats a lesson."

"Ohh shit!!" Dragon muttered when he saw Garp's murderous smile as he had flashbacks of his childhood. "I think it's a good time to retreat."

"Don't worry, I'll heal myself again if I get hurt a thousand times. Old man, let's go all out."

"..." 'Brother, are you a masochist?'

"Then let me go all out too, show me what you are hiding." Garp said as he coated his arms coated in haki. "Kuzan, retreat and treat your injuries. I'll bring back the thing."

"What about Spandine?" Kuzan said as he looked at the ship at a distance.

"Missing in action," Garp said in his serious tone causing the latter to flinch before nodding in understanding.

Meanwhile onboard the yacht:

Robin was in the captain's cabin with knocked out Sabo and Spandine looking at the frozen sea that stretched for miles. Her heart was beating rapidly with fear when she realized the marine Admiral Kuzan was on the battlefield. She remembered his last words, 'The next time we meet in battle, I'll kill you.' 

Robin took a deep breath, calming her nerves. She knew she had to trust her allies on the front lines, especially Victor, who had just been thrown into the frozen battlefield near the dock. Her focus shifted to the ice that encased the ship as she remembered the features of this modern engineering marvel that was created by Victor.

On the dashboard with multiple switches, there was a set of red buttons encased in a glass cover. She hurriedly opened the cover and pressed the [Ice Breaker]. The 20000 HP twin turbo engine started to roar as it went into overdrive and the metallic hull of the ship made of pseudo-wapolmetal began to heat up melting the ice around it. The ship which had come to a halt began to move slowly as the icey layer around the ship started to melt.

"Aokiji, don't interfere in our battle," Garp said as he looked at 'Harbor'. They looked at each other with determination, tacit understanding and killing intent as they got ready for their final round. 

"Be careful, tell me if you need my help" Dragon said as he moved back and kept an eye on injured Kuzan who also retreated to watch the upcoming battle. He kept an eye on the ship that was slowly sailing away but unfortunately, he couldn't take action as Dragon was blocking his path. His strength was nothing to scoff at and acted as a significant deterrent to his plans to check up on his experiment, the last survivor of Ohara.
