Strike and Retreat

Chapter 97 Strike And Retreat

Regardless of where Garp pulled out such a large iron ball, the power of this attack could not be underestimated.

In the manga, the reason why Luffy and the others were able to escape from Garp's move was purely because Garp went easy on them!

When they were on Roger's ship, they would sometimes be chased away by this huge iron ball. If Luffy were not this old man's grandson, he might not be able to escape even if he had wings on his ship!

Back then, Captain Roger, Rayleigh, Gaban, and the others were there as the vanguard. So Giotto did not really care about the giant iron ball flying toward them. Now that he was facing it alone on the small boat, he knew it was no joke at all.

Why did it have to be the big one as soon as they met?

"Great Flame Commandment!"

Since the other party had already made his move, then he definitely would not be able to escape directly. With this thought, Giotto also exerted all the power in his body. Layers of flames rose up from the sea and quickly gathered in his hand like a gigantic fireball.

At the same time, Dying Will Flame also surged wildly, causing the fireball to spin rapidly. The more it was used, the more polished it became. Now, he could use the Dying Will Flame in his hand to make it span in an irregular direction and compressed it!

He just didn't know if the people from Konoha would come to ask him for copyright fees...

"Flame Emperor!"

Giotto raised the huge fireball in his hand and shot it at the black iron ball that covered the sky.

The moment the black iron ball and the blazing fireball collided, the entire world seemed to have become quiet. Not a single sound could be heard, and then...

Boom!

Not to mention the sea, even the sky seemed to tremble at this moment. The flames spread out like waves in all directions, and the huge iron ball withstood the impact of the flames.

It was sinking bit by bit.

The giant iron ball enveloped by Garp's Color of Arms Haki, coupled with his terrifying power made even the current Giotto shocked.

As expected of the old guy who was able to corner their Roger Pirates many times!

Someone like him often went back to the East Blue to see their grandson. No wonder East Blue had nothing but weak pirates!

People have a dream to sail out to sea. They thought it was a routine to fight bosses after leveling up mobs, but it turned out that there was a super big boss like Garp blocking the door, so why not delete the account altogether?

At this moment, Giotto let go of Flame Emperor, and after throwing the big fireball out, he directly grabbed the firmest position of his boat, and then the other hand gathered Hard Sky Flame.

The boat was fast indeed, but if he wanted to quickly get out of Garp's attack range, it would be a little hard if he just relied on the boat's power, so he decided to use X-Burner to propel the boat faster, and say goodbye to Garp!

"Huh? Did this kid give up?"

Garp looked at Giotto's strange posture, and was stunned for a moment: "It's not possible considering such powerful energy! He must be planning to fight me for life and death! The kid on Roger's boat is by no means an average guy! "

Thinking of this, he felt that Giotto must have some more powerful moves in store, and immediately increased the strength in his hands, and the Color of Arms Haki was reinforced through the chain.

"Bang!"

The huge iron ball smashed the Flame Emperor directly and then continued heading toward Giotto at an astonishing speed.

If he was hit by this one giant iron ball, setting aside whether Giotto could survive it, his boat would definitely be scrapped!

Without the boat, did I have to fly over the mountains and seas with the Dying Will Flame?

"I can't keep accumulating power. This old man sure got some nerve, he is even more and more fired up. Who wants to fight with you here! X-Burner!"

Giotto let out a low shout after cursing, and the converging flames erupted in an instant.

In a blink of an eye, Giotto's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Looking at Giotto who disappeared in his field of vision in an instant, Garp was speechless. He certainly thought Giotto planned to duke it out with him since Giotto accumulated so much energy.

If Giotto knew of Garp's thoughts, he would definitely point at him and yell at him, "As if!"

Even from a practical point of view, now was definitely not the time to fight against a powerhouse like Garp. After all, it was meaningless to fight here. When he appeared in the East Blue, he made it clear that he was going home to see his grandson. Even if he left, he would not pursue him, so why bother himself?

"Attention everyone, a tsunami is coming!"

Bogard was obviously thinking a lot more than Garp. Seeing the giant iron ball that was still falling after Giotto escaped, he immediately reacted.

If such a massive iron ball hit the sea directly with Garp's power, it would definitely cause a tsunami!

And the people in this boat are also quite fast, obviously, they have experienced this kind of thing many times, and they have reached the point of practice made perfect.

With the quick reaction of his own group of men, Garp scratched his head in embarrassment, but the embarrassment was only a momentary thing, as it would still happen time and time again!

After getting out of Garp's attack range, Giotto also took a breath of relief: "It's too bad that I encounter that psycho Garp right after leaving Shimotsuki Village. He didn't provoke him, and he got a giant iron ball coming at him. He deserved to have his grandson to be fooled by Shanks in the future!"

Thankfully, Shanks set sail to New World after tricking Luffy. And Garp did not notice the change in his grandson along the way. Otherwise, Shanks might have trouble reaching New World.

That guy Garp sure was something else, too. Normally, the older people got, the weaker they got, but he was as strong as ever.

"When I encounter Garp, although he didn't specifically come to chase me, the news about me in the East Blue must've reached the Marine Headquarters soon. When I'm done, I'll immediately depart to the next place. "

Giotto put his unfortunate encounter with Garp behind him and turned his attention to the direction of the West Sea. The next person he wanted to recruit was in that sea area.
