Chapter 6: A GREAT FIGHT

He clenched his fists as Rogen displayed a faint smile, exuding confidence and disdain. In that moment, his attachment to the white phoenix was evident. Behind him stood Akainu, fear evident in his eyes. The two men halted their fight and turned around.

"I don't want any further involvement with you. Don't follow me again!" Rogen spat out the words, causing Akainu's entire body to shudder as he clenched his fists. He ultimately chose not to rush at Rogen once more.

"Boy, can't you see the marines!?" a loud shout suddenly came from above. A massive figure descended from the sky, rushing towards Rogen with incredible speed.

With a flash of movement, Rogen changed his position. "I like it," he muttered.

"Bam!" Rogen dodged the incoming strike, causing the deck to split. A figure landed heavily on the ship.

"Soru!" Garp took another shot as soon as he landed, his body disappearing with incredible speed, much faster than Akainu. He had already reached Rogen once again.

"Shigan!" Garp's fingers transformed into hardened bullets, capable of piercing through flesh.

Rogen's eyes narrowed, and his head twisted slightly. "Sharp!" His cheek began to bleed, and Rogen couldn't believe what had just happened.

With his right hand clenched like an eagle, his body suddenly accelerated as he aggressively attacked Garp.

"Tekkai!" Garp activated his defense, surprising Rogen. The clash of their attacks sent sparks flying, causing Rogen's heart to tremble as he quickly retreated.

Then, Monkey D. Garp raised his right leg and unleashed Rankyaku, one of the six techniques of "Rokushiki."

"Wow, sharp!" The mast on the ship shattered under Garp's incredible power.

Rogen continuously retreated, feeling the immense strength and pressure Garp possessed. Compared to Akainu, Garp's experience was far greater.

The two fighters were as fast as the wind, engaging in a rapid battle as they swiftly moved across the deck.

Rogen's eyes sharpened. There was no doubt that Garp was stronger than him, and he could barely hold his ground. He unleashed the power and speed of the white phoenix and IP Man, tapping into their abilities to the fullest. If this fight continued for much longer, he would exhaust himself and undoubtedly lose.

"Shigan!" Garp attacked once again.

"Pew!" Rogen's face changed as a bloody hole appeared on his right shoulder. He was getting injured under Garp's relentless assault, his lack of experience evident.

"You can't escape, Rogen!" Garp closed in, his muscles tense as he prepared to attack once more.

"Ha Ha!" In the next moment, Rogen disappeared, with the white phoenix materializing behind him. He mounted it, gaining three times his usual speed.

From a height of ten meters, Rogen descended rapidly, utilizing gravity to increase his speed.

"Feather blade!" In an instant, Rogen arrived before Garp, swinging his wings like a fierce bird.

In the void, a cold light flashed.

Garp shouted, "Tekkai!"

"When?" Rogen's eyes flashed, his right hand feeling a sharp pain.

After Garp blocked his attack, Rogen's right foot spun like a large turntable. He soared into the sky before pointing downward at Rogen.

"Do you like it?" Blue energy coalesced instantly, forming a sharp projectile that seemed to cut through the air as it hurtled toward Rogen.

Rogen transformed into a bird-like figure, evading the slashing attack. He had to bend his legs, stepping into the air before rushing forward once again. But suddenly, his face underwent a dramatic change.

Quietly lurking at his side, someone launched an attack.

"Finger gun!" In the blink of an eye, a shot was fired. Rogen managed to avoid any vital areas, but a hole appeared in his stomach, causing blood to gush out.

Two seconds later, Rogen crashed heavily onto the deck, rolling for a full ten meters before coming to a stop.

Struggling, Rogen lifted his head and turned pale. Standing before him was Akainu, cold-blooded.

Garp frowned at Akainu, clearly displeased. "Akainu, don't you think that's going too far?"

"What!? He's a wicked criminal," Akainu dismissed.

Garp grew even angrier. In his eyes, Rogen hadn't committed any sins. He strongly opposed the Marine headquarters' orders to capture Rogen. As an advocate of justice, he believed that punishing one person while ignoring the involvement of others was a violation of justice!

Summoning his strength, Rogen painfully stood up, casting a deep gaze at the two men opposite him. He then moved his hand to his mouth and blew a whistle.

"FWEET!" The large white bird immediately hovered, swooping downward.

"Go quickly, don't let him escape!" Akainu shouted loudly, speeding up in pursuit of Rogen.

However, Rogen hopped onto the phoenix, and the majestic bird leaped into the air, soaring at an incredible speed.

In an instant, they had ascended 20 meters while Akainu reached Rogen's previous location, only able to watch as he flew away.

"Garp!" Akainu yelled towards the back of the ship. "Catch him!"

Garp looked up at Rogen, then turned back with feigned shame. "Sorry, my Moonwalk isn't quite perfected yet."

Akainu clenched his fists in anger, his gaze fixed on Rogen, who was escaping on the giant white bird. He was infuriated and frustrated.

In the air, Rogen looked down. The white giant bird swiftly flew in one direction, disappearing in an instant.

On the warships below, marines had just climbed back onto the deck from the sea, panting heavily.

"Damn it!" Akainu seethed, feeling both angry and helpless.

At the same time, on a civilian ship located about five kilometers away, a group of civilians stood silently. They were faintly smiling as they observed everything unfold.

"How is it, Deputy Captain? Is our Captain's brother alright? We must rescue him!" A white-haired middle-aged man, wearing glasses and carrying a long sword on his waist, stood at the forefront, his eyes gleaming.

"He has departed, and he's safe!"

"Besides, I am not your deputy captain!"
