The Battle Begins

Chapter 128: The Battle Begins

Although CP9 has strict requirements on Rokushiki, only by mastering all Rokushiki can one be called an official CP9 agent.  But even among the agents who have mastered all Rokushiki, very few of them can completely master a single Rokushiki in just one month.

From this aspect, Koby is indeed very talented in the field of physical skills. And judging from Garp's words, Koby himself is also a very hardworking person plus Garp directs this himself.

Presumably, Koby will have great achievements in the future. Robin stared at Koby in front of her, feeling so emotional in her heart. Of course, this is also compared with ordinary people who can be said to be very talented but if she wants to compare it with the monster Solo, Koby's achievements are really not enough.

"What are you going to do?"

Robin's eyes shifted from Koby to Solo's profile.

"It took him only one month to learn Soru. It's really amazing." Smoker said.

Although he basically doesn't use Rokushiki when he is fighting, his level of understanding of the set is not bad at all because his former teacher was Zephyr who developed Rokushiki Tekkai. 

At the same time, he can't help feeling a little worried about Solo. Although Solo was also a Warrant Officer before he left Loguetown, he slowly got up from his position through years of experience accumulation.

However, Koby is only about sixteen. Not long after joining the marine, he became a Warrant Officer and Garp's disciple. From this point of view, he is a marine that has been given high hopes.

A half-baked guy like Solo is not from the same world at all. In Smoker's eyes, he felt that Garp had completely overestimated Solo. Hina, on the other hand completely watched the show with interest. 

"Mr. Solo..." 

Tashigi broke into a cold sweat for Solo. She has worked with Solo for many years, let alone an elite of the headquarters, even pirates in East Blue, Solo is no match. 

Suddenly letting him fight against Koby and Helmeppo, one to two. This is simply embarrassing Solo. But then again, this is the direct request of Vice Admiral Garp. Even though she was worried, Tashigi couldn't say anything, let alone stop it. What's more, Solo, the party involved, hasn't made a statement yet. 

  "There's nothing wrong with this." 

After two or three breaths, Solo opened his mouth slowly. It is not a bad thing that Koby and Helmeppo but— 

  "If I lose to Koby and Hellmepo here, it will probably affect Garp's expectations of me." Solo thought to himself.

"No matter how I say it, I now bear the achievement of catching the Straw Hats. If the strength I've shown is too weak, it will be Perona who will attract attention." Solo glanced at Perona.

Her identity as a devil fruit user has been made public. If it is not done well, it may make Perona rise step by step.  In the end, her military rank will become higher than his. In that case, it will not be easy to handle. Secondly...

"In case Garp thinks that I can't stand sideways and keeps me in the headquarters for long-term training. Maybe I will be involved in the Summit War. Only this matter, I can say nothing I don't want to participate."

After some thought, Solo felt that he should still be defeated here. In any case, not only did he need to leave Marineford, but he had to do it as soon as possible.

"Okay."

In the end, Solo agreed to Garp's request, and Koby and Helmeppo also showed a serious attitude. Although they don't know who Solo is and why he was brought here by Garp, since Garp asked them, they will definitely go all out.

  "By the way, don't underestimate the marine from Loguetown. It's because of him, that the  Straw Hats was captured."

Seeing that Koby and Helmeppo were ready, Garp reminded. But about Perona, Garp chose to conceal it. And as soon as these words came out, Koby and Helmeppo set off turmoil in their hearts.

"What?!"

Koby was dumbfounded, he never dreamed that Luffy would be caught by Solo.

"Wait, Straw Hats, doesn't that mean that even Zoro..." Helmeppo blinked hard, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and others—either one was not a monster that he and Koby could deal with, but all the people on this boat were defeated by Solo.

Grunt.

Koby rolled his throat and swallowed nervously.

"However, isn't Luffy the grandson of Mr. Garp..."

Koby also thought of this relationship, but he didn't say it because the audience was full of marines. For a while, other marines retreated one after another to give enough space for Solo to fight against Koby and Helmeppo.

"Solo actually agreed."

Smoker looked at Solo up and down with his eyes narrowed. He thought that Solo would probably find an excuse and refuse. After all, that's what he was like.  It seems that his journey on the Grand Line has brought changes to Solo.

"If I think about it carefully, the sea is the place that can change a person the most."

Smoker muttered to himself, and he was relieved quickly and didn't get entangled in this matter.

"Mr. Solo, are you sure?"

Tashigi was a little worried, but as she recalls Solo's performance in Alabasta, she also felt that Solo had changed slightly when he was in Loguetown.

"Solo..."

Robin and Perona also paid close attention to the battle.

"Those two marines couldn't hold out for even one round."

Perona couldn't help but pout. At first, she thought that she could see the battle where Solo challenged Garp. Unexpectedly, it was just two ordinary marines. It is estimated that the battle will end in an instant.

But Solo, Koby, and Helmeppo were very straightforward. They stepped forward and came to the center of the dojo.

"Mr. Solo, I will do my best."

Koby took a deep breath and announced loudly. Then, he clenched his hands into fists, his eyebrows became sharp, the same is true for Helmeppo.

"Then, let me do it first."

Koby took a step forward, planning to fight Solo first. However, Solo waved his hand directly, signaling them to join together. On the other side, Garp folded his arms and watched the battle with strong expectations for Solo's performance.

Although Perona's ability is a bit weird, the speed of activation is not fast enough. It was said that she subdued the Straw Hat with her strength, but Garp didn't really believe it in his heart.
