Chapter 113 Demon God·Heaven And Earth Bahuang Fist

Carlos sighed slightly.

With a thought, the purple light surrounding his body intensified.

In an instant, a huge skeleton formed, gradually becoming more solid at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Within just a few breaths, a warrior giant with wings on its back emerged.

Balls of black flames surrounded its body.

Just looking at it from a distance evoked a strong sense of oppression.

"Garp, as much as I would like to fight you, we can't do it here."

"Let's settle this with one move."

Carlos slowly raised his right fist.

Armament Haki surged forth, enveloping his entire body instantly.

The azure warrior armor transformed into a rich, ultimate black, reflecting a dark metallic luster.

The Mangekyō Sharingan activated fully.

The black flames burning hundreds of meters high all over his body merged and converged on his right fist, compressing into a sphere of deep black light, exuding an extremely terrifying and oppressive aura.

The powerful Conqueror's Haki erupted, turning into countless black lightning bolts that surged wildly around his fists.

"Demon God: Heaven and Earth Bahuang Fist!"

At that moment, the entire world seemed to freeze.

The surroundings darkened.

Then, a blinding light flashed out.

"Dang!"

The earth resonated with a dull sound.

Marineford seemed to tremble.

Boom—

An earth-shattering explosion followed!

A deafening roar echoed.

The black flames continued to rage, distorting the air with intense heat.

The shockwave spread rapidly, sending huge clouds of smoke and dust billowing into the air.

Where Carlos had struck with his fist, a massive crater formed, a hundred meters deep and five to six hundred meters wide.

The sand above turned into countless sparkling crystals.

"I don't understand. With your strength and Aokiji's cooperation, you could completely defeat the Dragon Pirates. Why…?"

The original Marineford Square was now in complete ruins.

Smoke filled the air, and burn marks were everywhere.

Garp lay quietly at the bottom of the enormous pit, murmuring weakly.

At that moment, he had to admit a fact.

He had lost, completely lost to this young man named Carlos.

Next to him, Carlos sat on the ground.

After hearing Garp's words, he smiled slightly and said, "It Could be that the Dragon Pirates are part of my forces?"

"You!"

Garp's pupils dilated, and the word "impossible" nearly escaped his lips.

But upon seeing Carlos's half-smiling expression, an incredible thought suddenly struck him.

"Did you convince Kaido to join the Marines? How is that possible?"

Carlos nodded.

"That's right. I plan to unite all the pirates in the New World and the underground forces, capturing them all. It's simpler and saves trouble."

Garp thought for a moment and couldn't help but sigh.

"Is it the same as your previous approach? Either don't act or go all out. You really are something else."

Although Carlos spoke lightly, he understood how difficult such a plan would be.

Garp turned his head to glance at Carlos beside him, curiosity evident in his eyes.

"Can you say that so confidently? Aren't you afraid I'll leak the news?"

Carlos smiled confidently. "Who would I tell? Sengoku? The Five Elders?"

"This..."

Garp was momentarily stunned, then shook his head mockingly.

Having worked with Sengoku for many years, he knew the man's temperament well. Although Sengoku often spoke about putting the greater good first, he was still a Marine with a strong sense of justice.

If he learned that the Dragon Pirates were under Carlos's control, he would certainly support the plan.

As for the Five Elders, Garp had repeatedly turned down promotions to Marine Admiral because he didn't want to deal with them, so he had no reason to inform them now.

Thinking of this, Garp sighed again and slowly climbed to his feet.

"So you've already made arrangements. I was abrupt this time."

Carlos asked, "Are you leaving?"

Garp wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and nodded.

"That's right. After spending so much time in Marineford, it's time for me to head back to East Blue."

"I'm not interested in what's happening here. With your abilities, you might soon lead the Marines into a new era. I really look forward to that day..."

"You just leave in style, but leave me with a mess."

Garp scratched the back of his head, a bit embarrassed.

"Uh, well..."

"You know that the Marines are extremely underfunded right now. I'm not afraid to tell you that I can barely cover the salaries for the troops next month."

"Alright, tell me what to do. But I don't have much money to contribute."

"In that case, stay a few more days. I need your help with something."

Garp raised his eyebrows in confusion. "You're the Marine Marshal with so many elite soldiers and generals under you. What else do you need me for?"

Carlos pointed to the fleet on the distant sea.

"As you can see, the Admiral, Vice Admirals, and the Marine Inspection team directly under me have all gone out to perform tasks."

"Right now, the only ones left at headquarters are me and Hawkeye."

Garp waved his hand dismissively. "Are you kidding? With your strength..."

"Don't worry, just hear me out."

"In five days, the Five Elders will come here to hold a ceremony to make me a Celestial Dragon."

Carlos then shared the details of his conversation with the Five Elders.

"What?"

"You're going to be a Celestial Dragon?"

Garp was utterly stunned, looking Carlos up and down with suspicion.

He seriously doubted whether those old men were losing their minds.

Carlos's desire to control the Marines was so obvious that anyone not blind could see it.

This guy's actions and his attitude toward the World Government made it clear that he was not one to be underestimated.

The Five Elders actually compromised?

It was outrageous.

Carlos spread his hands and said, "Those five old men are major players in the world. They can't be so easily fooled."

"Ultimately, there will be two outcomes: First, the two sides resolve their differences, and I successfully become the world's noble Celestial Dragon. Second, the World Government retaliates, and Marine power returns to their hands."

After hearing Carlos's analysis, Garp couldn't help but nod.

"You're right."

"Although I don't understand why you want to become a Celestial Dragon, I know your character. You wouldn't do anything evil."

"Alright, I'll stay. Although I don't want to get involved in politics, I can't let you face problems alone."

"Don't worry. If they try to harm you, I'll be the first to stand up."
