Chapter 50: Garp's Fierce Battle! The victory of the Navy!

Dungeon, first floor, eastern area of Loke Village.

At this time, just three kilometers east of Loke Village, Garp and Aokiji, who are currently carrying out a mission to carry out the destruction of the bandit camp there have already met the target they need to complete. The group of bandits they had to destroy numbered quite a several members with a bandit who was the leader of the group having level 3 and he was a fighter using his bare hands like Garp, four bandits with level 2 strength level, while the rest of the six bandits had strength levels only at level 1.

"Kuzan! I'll take care of that bandit leader" Garp said grinningly as he untied his cloak then sounded both fists, "I wonder who's better between the two of us."

"I understand" Aokiji didn't mind this and had to fight 10 bandits alone. Aokiji immediately crouched on the ground touching the ground using one of his hands and all his energy was focused on one point, "Ice Age!"

The cold air wave sourced from Kuzan instantly melted away at high speed. The area where this battle was about to take place instantly froze very quickly.

"Ability user!"

The bandit leader was taken aback at the release of abilities made by Kuzan. With his very quick response, before he was hit by the attack released by Kuzan, the bandit leader had already jumped back a few meters back.

However, it is a pity for his men. They did not escape the attack released by this Kuzan and instantly they all became ice statues.

"Arara, it's very difficult. Even my ability has very little impact compared to my ability when outside"

The breath possessed by Kuzan at this time was already quite heavy. The release of this ability almost soothed his entire physical energy. Despite this, only an area of about 250 square meters was successfully frozen him, and even then at this time, Kuzan had little energy to be able to stand up.

"Brazen! How dare you do this too—"

The bandit leader was furious looking at his men who were frozen by Aokiji. He immediately yelled and wanted to attack Aokiji, especially looking at Aokiji who was currently in a downcast state and his breathing was already very heavy. As long as the bandit leader successfully attacks Aokiji at this time, it is certain that Aokiji will get heavy enough injuries.

However, before the sentence could be solved, Garp, who had already targeted the bandit leader, immediately began to attack.

"Soru!"

Garp immediately appeared in front of the bandit leader while his fist had also been prepared where the attack had been coated by him with his Conquering Haki.

"How dare you be distracted at the time of fighting with me! Accept this old man's iron punch!"

Garp unceremoniously immediately unleashed his attack on the bandit leader just above his head. The bandit leader had no defensive response to the attack unleashed by Garp especially himself previously shifting his focus to the attack unleashed by Kuzan on his men. As a result, a punch from Garp immediately attacked critically at the bandit leader.

"Boom!..."

The bandit leader's body was directly smashed by Garp to the ground. The land on which the bandit leader stood was also directly destroyed by the attack released by Garp. Garp's stamina quickly dropped due to the consumption of using two abilities at once, especially his Conqueror's Haki ability. His breathing was also quite heavy at this time.

The blood possessed by the bandit leader has also been reduced quite a lot due to the attack released by Garp. Although it has not yet reached half of it. Without letting the bandit leader bounce back from his current state. Garp immediately released his attack back. But currently, Garp is holding back from using his abilities because currently with the amount of stamina possessed, Garp, can only use one more ability except for the Conqueror's Haki ability which Garp is currently no longer able to use it.

"Boom!..."

"Boom!..."

"Boom!..."

Garp at high speed released his punch to the bandit leader without any compassion at all. While on Kuzan's side, at this time he casually went to destroy every stone statue of the bandit and then gained a large amount of Exp through the actions performed by him.

The blood of the bandit leader has finally reached half. The attacks released by Garp also did not stop and continued to be carried out by him.

"It hurts! Sick! It hurts you old guys so much!"

Immediately by the time he got the opening to fight back. The bandit leader directly used his physical strength, which was greater than Garp's physical strength, to resist and finally broke free. Garp also immediately took the distance while slowly starting to re-adjust his breathing and also regain his stamina.

The bandit leader immediately got up and the look in his eyes stared at Garp with a look full of killing intent, "Damn it! Die, you old man!"

The bandit leader immediately ran towards Garp at high speed while his hands were also firmly clenched into fists. Seeing the attack made by the bandit leader, Garp grinned and immediately ran over and also attacked while clenching one of his hands.

"Boom!..."

The punches of the two of them directly clashed with each other.

"Agh?!"

Garp instantly felt that his physical strength was weaker than that of the bandit leader. The bandit leader grinned with his gaze full of murderous intent, "Do you think you guys can win against me with just this kind of weak strength?! Parents! I will repay what you did to me before!!!"

The bandit leader immediately increased his strength and pushed Garp's punch while also directly kicking Garp right in the abdomen followed by a punch from the side which caused Garp to immediately fly towards the side and destroy the tree there.

"Hahahaha, dead!"

The bandit leader without allowing Garp to breathe or reestablish his balance immediately attacked Garp as Garp had done before. Immediately punch after punch lodged in Garp's body.

Aokiji, who saw this, immediately stopped his activities to destroy the stone statue while he released his abilities by forming an ice spear "Ice Spear!"

Soon a spear that has a length of 1.5 meters was formed in Aokiji's hand and the making of this spear was the remnants of the stamina possessed by him. The spear was also currently infused with Aokiji's Armament Haki. Aokiji with a face full of fatigue immediately threw his spear right at the bandit leader with the main target directly aimed at the back or back of the bandit leader.

The bandit leader couldn't use the Observation Haki ability and could only sense the existence of scolding from the direction behind him. However, before he had time to turn his head to see what threatened him, a spear immediately pierced his back and penetrated the right part of his body or chest.

"Agh!"

A feeling of surprise followed by the pain of the attack instantly enveloped the bandit leader. Soon he saw that his lower body was now pierced by a spear released by Aokiji and his blood volume was also reduced quite a lot. The bandit leader immediately stared at Aokiji with a look full of killing intent, "Bastard!"

Garp, who had previously received back-to-back attacks from the bandit leader, saw that Aokiji had opened up an opportunity for him. Since the bandit leader had removed his vigilance over Garp, Garp was immediately able to free himself and then immediately unleash a punch with his Armanent Haki ability right on the head of the bandit leader.

"Boom!..."

The blow was very devastating especially since the bandit leader hadn't looked at Garp before. Soon the bandit leader flew towards the previous battle area and was followed by Garp who had already run there with the remaining stamina possessed by him at this time.

"Garp-san! Use my spear to kill him!" Aokiji shouted frantically.

Aokiji knew that Garp at this time was almost exhausted and it was no longer possible to use his abilities. The punch previously released by Garp was the last ability that could be used by him. Garp nodded and instantly arrived in front of the bandit leader, immediately Garp pulled out the spear stuck in the bandit leader's body, and the pain of pulling the spear was immediately felt by the bandit leader.

"Ah! It hurts!" The bandit leader shouted while holding his chest with a face of pain.

Garp thoughtlessly let the bandit leader get a chance to dodge the attack released by him immediately using a spear made using the power belonging to Kuzan to stab him in the head. The bandit leader's head was instantly shattered immediately followed by the bandit leader's body disappearing in place.

"Hahaha" Garp, who saw that he had won the battle, immediately sat on the ground while also starting to stabilize his breath where his breathing was already very heavy.

The appearance possessed by Garp at this time also cannot be said to be good. The clothes used by him were already dirty and his face had a lot of wounds and blood coming out of the wounds. Meanwhile, on Aokiji's side, seeing that Garp had won the battle, Aokiji immediately proceeded to destroy the entire ice stone statue with the rest of his energy.

It didn't take long for the two of them to finally finish the entire bandit camp with the stamina they currently had exhausted.

"Bwahaha, this is a very fun place!" Garp immediately laughed at the moment of knowing that they had won the battle, "I haven't felt the euphoria of fighting intensely like that for a long time"

Aokiji nodded while adjusting his breath, "It's an intense battle" Aokiji paused and continued, "What are we going to do now, Garp-san? Go back and report on the success of the mission?"

"Wait" Garp directly stopped him and immediately said with a grin, "Don't they have a camp? They must have a lot of supplies there such as treasures and others. Especially the missions we do have quite high rewards. Surely they have a lot of things that they've gotten either from the population or got it in any other way."

"You mean...."

"Of course!" Garp smiled excitedly, "We'll take them all! No rule addresses that, right? In addition, it is useless to leave it here when it may also be in the future that someone else will take it. We'd better take it for ourselves"

Aokiji thought for a while and felt that it was a thing they could do. Although they are both navies. Still, this is a dungeon. There is no rule prohibiting for the Navy to take other people's property, especially the spoils of war. They have just fought and the property of the defeated group is the spoils of war.

"By the way, Kuzan. How many Exp points did you get?" Garp asked as he looked at his status panel, "Does killing a level 3 monster only get 25 points of exp? It's very little" Garp said with a sullen face.

"Garp-san only got 25 points?" Aokiji asked, raising his forehead then opening his status panel, "Arara, I think I'm lucky enough"

"Lucky enough? How much did you get?" Garp asked immediately.

"I got 180 Exp points," Aokiji said calmly, "It seems that a monster with level 1 level will only give us 15 points of Exp points while a level 2 one will only give us 20 points of Exp points. The higher the level is likely to be will only get an increase of 5 Exp points for each level."

"It means that it is impossible to upgrade the level just by doing the destruction of monsters?" Garp asked, frowning.

"That's how it is" Aokiji nodded, "With the amount of Exp points earned. At least for someone who wants to level up from level 1 to level 2, they are required to kill as many as 100 level 3 monsters. It is difficult to be able to do this with the adventurous power of the level. The most important factor is mission and assassination and the extermination of monsters are only supporting factors for adventurers to level up"

Garp nodded and the two immediately recovered all the stamina they had. After the two of them managed to restore their stamina by half. The two of them immediately got up and began to walk toward the place where the bandit camp was located.

Guild.

Gion and Vergo finally returned to the guild and directly faced Ars.

"I guess you guys got a pretty unlucky fate too, didn't you?" Ars asked teasingly. Ars knew that the two of them had failed the mission because he had not received any reports related to the mission they both carried out.

"Also?" Gion immediately caught the words of Ars and said, "Is there anyone else who has failed their mission?"

"Sure" Ars nodded and said, "Momonga and Yamakaji. The two of them some time ago also failed in their mission and are currently probably on their way to get equipment specifically swords for them to use in the dungeon. They seem to be unlucky because they get a surprise attack from other monsters while carrying out their mission"

"By the way, what do you guys want to do here? Cancel the mission?" Ars asked, raising his forehead.

"Are there any consequences for adventurers who cancel their missions?" Gion asked seriously.

"There is no specification regarding the actions related to the cancellation of the mission. However, for adventurers who want to cancel missions, especially hunting missions, extermination, and so on. Their names will later be recorded on the mission sheet where their names will be recorded as adventurers or groups that failed to perform this mission."

Gion and Vergo instantly fell silent at this. They did not expect that the consequences related to the cancellation of the mission had such a bad impact.

"It only happens if the adventurers make cancellations related to the mission performed. As long as those adventurers do not complete the mission before it is due, their names will not be recorded and the mission will disappear directly. However, it will be different from the adventurers who cancel the mission. The act of canceling a mission in the dungeon is quite a shameful act. It is tantamount to running in a fight or war. Their names will be remembered as cowards"

Ars paused and continued, "Do you guys want to cancel your mission?"

"Hmph! Do you think we came here wanting to cancel that mission? Impossible!" Gion as Vice Admiral has high self-esteem. There is no way he wants to be said to be a coward or known as a coward. The same is true for Vergo.

As a Vice Admiral and the highest cadre of the Donquixote pirates, how could he want to be known as a coward? If Gion hadn't said this, he would say it to maintain his pride.

"In that case, what are you guys going to do? Take on other missions?" Ars asked back.

Gion nodded and immediately handed over the new mission sheet they had taken before

[Needed! Adventurer and Party who can help get 10 kilograms of corned beef and 15 liters of horned cow's milk! Mission time 2 days! Mission reward 22 silver coins and 2200 Exp points].

Ars immediately confirmed the mission and a notice of the mission immediately appeared on Gion and Vergo's panel. After the confirmation was over, the two of them wasted no time inside the guild and immediately went to get the weapons they would use later.

Ars sighed, "Sure enough. The setting for writing mission failures is a good thing to do. Everyone, especially people who have rank and status in this world, really maintains their self-esteem. There is no way they will allow themselves to be called cowards by others"

Ars returned to his lounge seat and continued reading his book.
