Chapter 39: Garp is Furious - I'll Take Him Down First!

-The Red-Haired Pirates-

Shanks stared at the scenes playing out, his face full of seriousness.

"Controlling a region, monitoring every move on Sky Island."

"Could this ability... be Haki?"

Beckman and Yasopp, upon hearing this, couldn't help but show contemplative expressions.

That's because Enel's ability indeed resembled Haki...

Haki is a latent power that all humans possess!

This power is innate, but not everyone can master it!

It only awakens after reaching a certain level...

And Enel's ability to monitor everyone's actions and even thoughts on Sky Island was very similar to Observation Haki...

Observation Haki allows for a strong perception of an opponent's power and can even pinpoint the location of enemies beyond one's field of vision.

When trained to a certain level, it can even predict an opponent's actions in the near future.

But to achieve such a deep level of power, one must be incredibly strong.

Those who have mastered Haki can become top fighters in the Grand Line.

However, what puzzled Shanks and Beckman was...

While Enel's ability was similar to Observation Haki, there was a slight difference.

"Can Observation Haki cover such a large range?"

"I've never heard of that..."

Shanks' face was full of confusion.

But regardless of whether Enel's ability was Observation Haki or not, it would be very troublesome!

For Luffy and the others, it would undoubtedly pose a challenging problem.

"Luffy, will you surprise me like last time in this battle?"

...

Marine Headquarters!

The problem discovered by Shanks and the others was naturally noticed by Garp, Sengoku, and the rest.

As the top powerhouses of Marine Headquarters, whether it was Sengoku and Garp, the three Admirals, or the Seven Warlords, they were all very familiar with Haki...

They also felt that Enel's ability was similar to Observation Haki.

But, they were also puzzled as to why Enel's Observation Haki could cover such an extensive range on Sky Island.

So, there was still some uncertainty in their hearts.

Or perhaps this ability was unique to the Sky Islanders...

Regardless, Enel's terrifying power, combined with this unique ability, was not good news for the Straw Hat crew.

"Garp, your grandson is in danger!"

Sengoku shook his head slowly, his eyes also revealing a hint of worry.

As the scenes progressed, he felt that Enel, known as the God of Sky Island, was growing stronger and stronger, and his displayed abilities were becoming more terrifying!

How could the Straw Hats possibly defeat such a powerful enemy with their current strength?

Moreover, Sky Island was the enemy's territory.

The current problem was not whether Luffy and his crew could win this battle.

It was whether they could survive in the face of such a terrifying and despairing enemy like Enel...

Garp didn't say anything in response.

Instead, he silently walked towards the exit.

Sengoku noticed and asked, "Where are you going?"

As Garp walked, he coldly said, "To Sky Island!"

Upon hearing this, the Admirals and the Seven Warlords were puzzled...

To Sky Island?

What for?

But as Garp's longtime partner, Sengoku immediately understood everything!

Although Garp usually appeared carefree and goofy, this was only because nothing important to him had been threatened. If someone dared to threaten Garp's family...

They would likely learn what a fist full of justice felt like!

Years ago, almost every time Garp returned to the East Blue, he would capture a large number of pirates.

This was one of the reasons why, as time went on, there were fewer and fewer pirates in the East Blue compared to other seas.

Others might not understand why Garp was so determined, but Sengoku knew.

He did all this to protect his hometown from pirate invasions and, more importantly, to protect his own... family!

When Luffy fought against Moria, although Luffy's chances of winning were slim, Garp was not too worried because there was still a possibility of victory.

But now, facing an enemy as powerful as Enel...

Even Garp, as Luffy's grandfather, felt that Luffy had no chance of winning, and his life might even be in danger!

Therefore, he wanted to go to Skypiea and kill Enel before such an event could happen...

To prevent his grandson from facing this threat in the future!

Sengoku's face suddenly changed, cold sweat instantly seeping from his forehead.

With lightning speed, he grabbed Garp to stop him.

"Garp, don't be impulsive!"

Garp's face was still cold, his voice filled with anger and a hint of murderous intent.

"Enel is as good as dead. Not even Gorosei can save him, I tell you!"

Upon hearing these words, the entire room was in shock!

It was only then that the three Admirals and the Seven Warlords of the Sea understood why Garp wanted to go to Skypiea.

He wanted to eliminate Enel before his own grandson encountered such a threat!

The best way to deal with danger was to eliminate its source.

Damn!

Both Akainu and Mihawk couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths, their hearts shaking with disbelief.

Was this really the same old man who wore a dog hat, ate senbei, and fell asleep just moments ago?

This was way too domineering...
