Chapter 17

Kamar-Taj

The magic apprentices were stunned by Garp's display. They could accept Devil Fruit abilities as it involved gaining power from something beyond human comprehension, similar to their own magical practices.

But Garp had achieved such power through sheer training, and the fact that people from the Dragon Ball and Naruto universes could do the same was beyond belief!

"Ancient One, can different universes differ this much?"

Mordo asked in disbelief.

The Ancient One, who had been fanning herself with her mouth slightly open, was equally shocked. She only came to her senses when Mordo spoke.

"The multiverse is infinite, and the rules of each universe are different. It seems that the rules of those people's universes allow Earth humans to train to the point of destroying the ground."

The Ancient One explained, leaving the other wizards with their mouths agape.

Asgard.

The Asgardians were equally astonished by Garp's display. In their understanding, Earthlings were very weak and no match for them.

But Garp's performance was ridiculous.

Even Thor was left speechless, wondering if he could withstand Garp's punches.

It seemed unlikely.

"Brother, do you think you can defeat the humans from the pirate world? They seem very strong."

Loki asked with a mischievous smile.

"Of course I can! I am the strongest warrior in Asgard! How could I fear mere Earthlings!"

Thor quickly regained his confidence, shaking his hammer to boost his morale.

He couldn't show weakness in front of his brother.

Leo World (Sometimes Ultraman World is named Leo World, not I had watch it anyway...)

Gen and Dan watched in disbelief. This was the power of Earthlings? It was far beyond their understanding.

"If the Earthlings in our universe were as strong as Garp, we wouldn't have to fear monsters and aliens!"

Gen thought excitedly.

"That's impossible. Our situation is different."

Dan quickly dismissed the idea. He believed in the potential of Earthlings, but reaching that level was too exaggerated.

Gen agreed, but Garp's attack gave him an idea.

Leo's energy was limited, so he couldn't frequently use his light skills, making distance combat unsuitable.

If he could punch like Garp, using shockwaves to defeat enemies, it would solve the distance problem.

Gen fantasized about using the Leo Kick, with the impact reaching the enemy before his foot landed.

With this thought, he clenched his fists tightly, believing that if Earthlings could do it, so could he!

Doraemon World.

"Doraemon, can I train to that level too?"

Nobita asked with stars in his eyes.

If he were as strong as Garp, he wouldn't fear Gian and could win Shizuka's heart.

"You're overthinking it. Humans in our universe can't train to that level."

Doraemon quickly dismissed the idea.

Nobita had to lower his head in disappointment.

Meanwhile, back with Garp and the others.

"What a terrifying monster."

Aokiji watched the carnivorous vines with a serious expression. It was the first time he had encountered such a terrifying monster that even Garp's Iron Fist couldn't completely destroy.

"When we get back, I need to ask Sengoku about this. When I asked earlier, he just mentioned containment objects from another universe. I didn't understand at all."

Garp looked puzzled as he examined the frozen vines.

"So, Mr. Garp, what should we do with that guy?"

Aokiji pointed to Ace not far away.

When freezing the area, he had deliberately avoided Ace, who had used his flames to withstand the cold, though it consumed much of his energy.

Garp's expression darkened as he looked at Ace.

He had received orders from Sengoku to capture Ace alive.

He knew very well what would happen if Ace was captured, but his duty as a marine made it impossible for him to let a pirate go. He clenched his fist in conflict.

"Containment of the carnivorous vines is successful. Rewards are being distributed. Main contributors: Kuzan and Garp. Secondary contributor: Ace."

The sudden voice made Garp, Aokiji, and Ace wary, looking around cautiously.

"Reward distribution: Garp receives the Ox Talisman, Aokiji receives Absolute Zero Freeze, Ace's flames evolve into Three-Thousand Blazing Flames!"

As the voice ended, Aokiji and Ace felt a flood of information in their minds, while Garp found an object in his hand.

"The Ox Talisman increases the wearer's strength hundreds of times!"

"Absolute Zero is the theoretically lowest temperature in physics. Once this level is reached, all energy ceases to exist, freezing everything."

"The Three-Thousand Blazing Flames are flames born in the cosmos, capable of absorbing starlight to strengthen themselves. These flames possess incredible self-healing abilities. As long as vital areas remain intact, any injury can be healed, making the user nearly immortal."

After the explanation, Ace felt a change in his flames. An intense, uncontrollable emotion surged from within, compelling him to release it.

"Arghhh!!"

Unable to contain it, Ace roared skyward, bursting into intense purple flames that looked particularly demonic.

As the flames appeared, Ace felt his previous injuries and lost energy rapidly recovering.

"Be careful!"

Aokiji sensed the terrifying danger in the flames and immediately released his cold air to counteract it.

To his surprise, his cold air was now far colder than before. He swore he had never experienced such coldness!

The flames turned to frost before even touching his cold air.

"Not sure what's happening, but goodbye, old man!"

Ace, seizing his newfound freedom, transformed into flames and shot into the sky. He needed to escape before he was captured again.

He sensed that Aokiji and Garp were far more threatening than before! Not understanding his own transformation, he couldn't stay! "Ace! Don't think you can escape!"

Seeing Ace trying to flee, Garp angrily punched.

At that moment, the Ox Talisman glowed brightly, and Garp's punch produced an air cannon like a missile, instantly catching up with Ace.

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion echoed as Ace, hit, fell like a wounded bird, spitting blood.

But the Three-Thousand Blazing Flames quickly healed Ace, allowing him to continue flying.

Garp didn't pursue Ace further, instead looking in amazement at his fist and the Ox Talisman. How had he suddenly become even stronger? His punch hadn't been that powerful, but now it was immensely stronger, all thanks to this Ox Talisman? "Vice Admiral Garp, should we continue chasing Fire Fist Ace?"

Aokiji asked calmly after regaining his composure.

"That kid has flown too far. We won't catch him now, so let him go!"

Garp quickly found an excuse, and Aokiji could only shrug helplessly.

"Besides, these plants are a bigger threat, along with those called the Blackbeard Pirates."

Garp looked at the frozen Blackbeard Pirates nearby, his eyes revealing a murderous intent.
