The strength of garp

Facing Garp, even though he knew he wouldn't keep up, Wright was still excited! After all, in terms of power, Garp was only matched by Roger and Whitebeard, he was the pinnacle of the top. But... Wright was no ordinary!

With Wright's eyes shining red, he drew "Ember" from its sheath and met Karp's fist: "Good! I've been waiting for you, Hahaha!"

The long knife "Ember," infused with the power of sacred light and Armament Haki for three years, seemed to be cast in black gold, exuding a faint golden, sacred halo, like a work of art.

Wright's Armament Haki was very special upon awakening. Perhaps due to Wright's special body, his Haki combined with the power of sacred light resulted in a perfect fusion, with Haki and sacred light combining instead of mutually fighting.

The combination of the spiritual features of Observation Haki and the power of sacred light has the derived ability to perceive the emotions and voices of creatures' hearts, while Armament Haki and the three characteristics of the power of sacred light - the power of punishment, the power of protection, and the power of healing. By combining these powers, Armament Haki transitioned from black to black with shades of gold, blessing it with sacred damage, defensive power, and self-restoration brought by the power of sacred light.

By activating his Armament Haki, covering himself with it, a weakened version of the effects "Sage Seraph," "Holy Blessing," and "Eternal Flame" were activated, without needing to activate the power of Sacred Light. Thus, the power of sacred light could be used to restore physical strength via Haki to ensure an inexhaustible reserve of Haki.

"Cling!"

"BAAAM--!"

Before the sailors could react, Garp and Wright exchanged a few words and began the battle directly? Is this pirate hunter a battle maniac? Doesn't he know how powerful Vice Admiral Garp's "Iron Fist" is?

Ember collided with the fist, and the collision of Haki produced huge shockwaves. Many sailors on the deck couldn't bear it and were lifted up. Even the huge sails of the warship were blowing dangerously. Bogart hurried to give instructions. The Marines lowered their sails and dropped anchor.

"Bwahahaha good sword!" Karp smiled. "This energy, is it a Devil Fruit? Not bad, I'll have to hit harder!"

BAAAM—!

Wright dared not lose focus, the Holy Blessing and Seraph Seal were fully activated, and the increased physical strength combined with the sacred fire could withstand Garp's heavier fist.

"Is this the strength of the Marine Hero? His Armament Haki is certainly the most powerful in the world?"

Wright secretly marveled at Garp's power, which was only showing the tip of the iceberg.

A golden mist surrounded Wright's body, and he had to apply the "Holy Blessing Technique" to reinforce his own defenses and prevent his body from collapsing due to excessive force competition.

"He actually blocked Vice Admiral Garp's fist. This title of the 'most powerful pirate hunter in East Blue' is quite worthy of its name." Bogart, who was observing the battle, even with all the shockwaves, remained still: "And this golden color... is it a Devil Fruit? But then why is his Haki golden-black? It's impossible to resist Vice Admiral Garp's fist with such weak Haki... Is it then a fusion with his Haki and his Devil Fruit? It's quite interesting."

…

Without knowing that his abilities had been guessed by Bogart, Wright was trying to resist Garp's increasingly strong and heavy punches, and he was soon on the verge of collapsing: "This is the strength of the world's first power? Even Shanks can't compare to this."

"Although exciting, I am completely outclassed in every aspect, this damn old man is too strong."

"Bwahahaha! You can take so many hits at such a young age, not many in the Grand Line can!" Garp gradually changed his smile: "However, you only have one sword, but I have two fists Bwahahaha!"

Wright's face instantly changed color, and before he could swear, a massively Haki-infused fist connected with his face.

"I'm too weak."

This was Wright's last thought before he passed out.

…

"Vice Admiral Garp, you've broken the bridge again." Bogart shook his head, helpless, looking at the large hole in the bridge and the unconscious Wright who had been struck into a cabin, and the corners of his mouth drooped again. He called the Marines to retrieve Wright and then quickly repair the bridge.

"This kid resisted your fist for so long, he's quite strong."

"Bwahahaha, it's rare to encounter such a strong kid at sea." Garp scratched his head and waved his hand: "This kid has become so strong and being in East Blue... Now that I have kidna-Ahem recruited him into the Marines, I'll take him back to HQ with me! With this monstrous talent, the Marine will have another monster by its side!"

"Indeed, Wright's talent is terrifying, like Marco, Whitebeard's ship doctor... He even has a stronger healing ability than him, and his abilities are very balanced, attack, defense, and the very special healing..." said Bogart After a pause, the corners of his mouth seemed to tremble: "It is said that he always has the ability to see good and evil in people's hearts. He is suspected of having a special Observation Haki, and he will never kill evil pirates without prior investigation, mercifully treating people as equals, and regardless of status or situation, as long as you are sincerely good, whether it's an incurable disease or a serious injury, he will heal you for free with a smile. It is said that his dream is "world peace."

"Oh?" Garp stopped laughing, turned his head to the chair, sat down, and unconsciously touched his arms, to find that the senbei had long been eaten: "...At this age, he has such willpower. This so-called dream, judging by these actions, should be true... What is his past, what about the investigation?"

"The information shows that Wright was the second son of a nobleman from the Goa Kingdom. Since childhood, he disliked aristocratic power. On the contrary, he loved art and swordplay, especially the sword." Bogart still had that paralyzed face, but a shadow of light shone under the brim of his hat. The Marine, obviously, has gathered enough information: "After being a small sword master, he secretly left home to study swordsmanship in a certain dojo. He became active three years ago. The first thing that marked his debut was the accidental poisoning incident that saved a merchant ship's life. The name of the "miraculous doctor" spread spontaneously under the people's gratitude on the ship. From there, he began to travel East Blue as a pirate hunter, thus becoming a big name."

"So we're from the same island?" Garp opened his mouth and laughed: "This kid is becoming more and more interesting. He comes from such a background but possesses such determination. And he can still cling to his heart and desires in this era. What a natural Marine, isn't he!"

"As I've said, his talent is wasted in East Blue! Given his current level, East Blue cannot continue to provide him with the pressure and motivation needed to grow - the Grand Line has more opportunities!"

"Ah, my grandson should be like Wright in the future. I must train Luffy to become an excellent Marine full of justice!"

...

"It hurts... my face hurts..."

Wright slowly woke up, the sharp pain in his face quickly reminded him of what had happened before.

"Garp... Is this the power of the Marine Hero, he's too strong!"

"Luffy got beaten like this when he was a kid? No wonder he resisted Kaido so much."

A holy light covered his face, and the warmth of the holy light quickly restored the swollen face to its original shape. The pain caused by the "Iron Fist of Love" finally dissipated, and Wright had time to look at the surrounding environment.

It was a cabin, although the decoration was rather simple, it was very clean and tidy.

Is this on Garp's ship?

Quietly getting up, Wright grabbed "Ember" near the bed, straightened his clothes, and left the room.

Upon reaching the deck, Wright noticed that the sailors were repairing a large hole, the location of the hole was near the bow, a little familiar...

"Ah! Isn't this where I fell!?"

"I took that hit in this hole just now?!"

"Old Garp is really ruthless! Even his ship got perforated! Doesn't he fear piercing the bottom of the boat?!"

"Officer Wright! You're awake!" A sailor noticed Wright's arrival and greeted with deep admiration on his face: "Officer Wright, you're so young, but you're really powerful. None of the members of this unit can withstand the fist of the Vice Admiral!"

"Officer?" Wright looked at the sailor suspiciously and said, "What's the situation? I'm not with the Marines! I'm a damn pirate hunter."

"Reporting to Officer Wright, Vice Admiral Garp has appointed you as the commander of the Marine headquarters, and you will be replaced when you return to headquarters!"

The sailor replied, "Furthermore, Vice Admiral Garp told you to go see him when you wake up."

"I..."

"Oh? Officer Wright, you're awake? Your injuries are already healed? That's truly a powerful ability." Bogart appeared silently and greeted Wright, "If you have many questions, come with me, Vice Admiral Garp is waiting for you."

"...In the original book, Bogart, Garp's adjutant, the shadow-covered man, is suspected to be a high-level fencer of unknown rank. Wright was naturally cautious, as the unknown is the most frightening. Plus, shadow-covered characters are all ruthless individuals.

"You're the person who was with Vice Admiral Garp earlier! What's your name?" Wright pretended not to know Bogart and followed him.

Garp was bored because he had made a hole in the bow deck. He was fishing on the side.

"Just call me Bogart. I'm Vice Admiral Garp's adjutant," Bogart said, his face still paralyzed, "Vice Admiral Garp, Officer Wright has been brought here."

"Well, old man! It seems like you're in good shape."

Wright saw Garp sitting on a deck chair on the side, fishing and dozing off. His appearance reminded Wright of the retired uncle next door in his previous life, and he couldn't help but complain.

"Oh? Wright, my boy, you woke up so quickly? It seems like the 'Iron Fist of Love' has regressed a bit, why not practice it again?"

Garp turned his head innocently and said dangerously, "Don't worry, this time I promise you won't wake up for three days!"

The Marine hero threatens newcomers with... What should we do in the face of this evil force's leader? Okay, I'll endure it... I haven't decided to join the Marines yet, okay!

Pretending not to have heard the threat, Wright forced a smile, "So, Vice Admiral Garp, I'm a pirate hunter, and suddenly I wake up, and I become a Marine officer, isn't that a bit inappropriate..."

"Huh?" Garp snorted, flicked a booger into the sea, and glanced at Wright, "What's wrong, I'm a vice admiral, I still have that authority. Plus, even if I didn't have that authority, that Sengoku boomer agrees!"

The sailors around him didn't seem to blink, their faces expressionless. Joking aside, your Vice Amoral yelled at Admiral Sengoku that he was an "idiot". Hearing things that shouldn't be heard will get you killed!

"Uh... I'm so weak that I shouldn't alert Admiral Sengoku Hahaha..." Wright forced a smile, "So, let's just do what the vice admiral said. Joining the Marines with the rank of officer. Speaking of which, I made a good deal, didn't I! Dahahaha!"

"You're a cunning kid!" murmured Garp, "There aren't many young people at the head of the Marines who can attract the attention of the higher-ups. If you dare to embarrass me when you return to headquarters, you'll taste what's called 'the iron fist of love'!"

"Yes, yes..." Wright replied without really caring. Bogart assigned a sailor to bring Wright a officer uniform and a recruitment manual so that Wright could familiarize himself as quickly as possible with the basic rules of the Marines before returning to headquarters.

..." Wright was impeccably dressed, standing in front of the full-length mirror, activating the special effects of the holy light, the white officer uniform, the coat of justice...

"Coat of Justice... dahahaha..." Wright looked at himself in the mirror and smirked.

It's hard for anyone not to care about one of the symbols of the admiral - "Coat of Justice". The long white coat with a high collar is equipped with epaulets and wide sleeves. The long back is printed with two characters - "Justice"!

What's even more amazing is that no matter how fiercely a Marine officer wearing a coat of justice fights, the coat of justice is as stable as a mountain, never falling off the shoulders or flying away - there was a theory in his previous life that once explained the principle that the coat won't fall off because it's for justice!

It's so cool! I didn't think so when I saw others wearing it, but now that I wear it myself, with this look, and the special effects of my power... Dahahahaha! Who would have thought I would become a Marine three years ago.

"It seems like it's a good thing to meet Garp this time." Wright finished with a smirk and finally began to think about his future, "Garp is also from East Blue, and while I was in a coma, they should have discovered the details of my noble life."

There are factions in any organization, especially in the Marine of this world. At that time, the chief admiral of the Marine was Steelbone Kong, and the Admirals were Sengoku the Buddha and Zephyr the Black Arm, but Zephyr hadn't appeared publicly for a long time, and was only training students at headquarters. Plus, another force at the level of an admiral, there's the Marine hero Garp, the top general who refuses to be promoted.

Garp brought him into the Marine himself... No matter how brazen this old man is, he won't leave him alone there, right? Look at Major General Kerby, who was promoted at lightning speed in two and a half years.
