Chapter 132

"No way! Instructor Zephyr lost?" The marines whom Zephyr had directly trained were shocked. They couldn't believe that an instructor as powerful as him could be defeated by the enemy so quickly. Even Garp was shocked, 'Losing without landing an attack on the opponent at all?' That was what was going through his mind.

If Zephyr were defeated after a long and hard fight, then he would have understood it, but he lost before even showing his true ability!

"Now I really feel like our coming here was unnecessary... but Garp will be a tough opponent to beat." Shanks frowned, then turned to Marshal Blue, "As someone who has fought Garp personally, would you fight him again?" He asked, curious.

"No." He shook his head while pointing at Artoria, who was approaching Garp.

"Ah, I see. Looking at that young girl, she seems quite strong indeed." Shanks nodded.

"Naval Hero, let's continue our pending fight," Artoria said as she raised her sword.

"Huh, my job is done, I'll go then." Gilgamesh shrugged, then canceled the ability that entangled his enemy.

"Are you okay, Zephyr?" Garp helped his friend, who was still lying on the ground.

"Some serious injuries. If we continue, I might die." Zephyr stood up while supporting his body from falling. "Only you still retain peak strength. I'm counting on you, Garp. If that little girl wins, then we will become prisoners."

"Don't underestimate that girl, Zephyr. Her fighting style is very unique, and she's strong." Garp said, "She has high levels of stamina and Observation Haki. Every time I launch an attack, she can accurately read the attack seconds before it happens."

"High-level Observation Haki that has reached the stage of predicting the future?! Hmm... she's still young and has already mastered such a high-level ability." Zephyr was surprised.

Cracking his knuckles, Garp approached Artoria, grinning, "Don't worry, Zephyr, I won't lose this time!"

"Sorry to keep you waiting, King of Knights or whatever that is."

"Please guide me, Naval Hero." She replied while making an attacking stance.

Immediately, the ground Garp stepped on collapsed. Garp shot at high speed toward Artoria with his fists clenched tightly!

He wanted to end this battle as quickly as possible. After all, it wasn't good to continue staying here.

Facing Garp's fist, Artoria used her magic. Excalibur began to emit a golden glow, and then she swung the sword at the opponent's fist. When the two connected, a dazzling light instantly engulfed them both... as the light slowly dissipated, the sight of Artoria successfully stopping Garp's fist appeared in everyone's eyes.

Clenching his left fist, Garp positioned his waist to the side and punched with all his might. Artoria bent down slightly, then slashed her sword straight at Garp's abdomen.

Amid the attack, Garp managed to change the direction of his fist, and the fist directly hit the opponent's sword, almost slashing his stomach.

Taking a few steps back, a blue light enveloped Artoria. Taking a deep breath, Artoria once again attacked Garp.

*Boom!*

As fists and swords connected, Garp sensed that Artoria's power was becoming stronger and stronger.

'Is this the effect of the blue light?' He thought to himself. Dismissing the thought, Garp continued his attack.

"Is that young girl a monster? It's been almost an hour, almost an hour that she's been fighting Garp!" Zephyr widened his eyes. Now he understood why Garp had said that she was abnormal.

Hour-long battles were common between top masters, but Zephyr had never seen anyone who could fight with Garp for this long without running out of breath; even Kaido would be exhausted!
