Chapter 257 Four Emperors?
"saved!"
"Thank God! That tsunami was stopped!"
"Are you stupid? A wave of this magnitude will not disappear without a reason. There must be someone with great skills behind it."
The people in the Barati restaurant, who had been closely watching the sea situation, could not help but rush out to the deck again and burst into shouts of joy and excitement when the tsunami miraculously paused and subsided.
They didn't know why the sea suddenly became calm again, they just felt like it was all a dream.
Even when they noticed that the Sunspot and Jerry had disappeared, they did nothing.
In their hearts, nothing is more important, more exciting and more grateful than saving lives from the brink of disaster.
"You old bastard, do you think that Dragon Fist is the origin of such an amazing technique?!" Sanji opened his mouth as wide as possible, but the cigarette in his mouth was still firmly stuck to his lips.
Zhepu looked at him as if he were an idiot, and said with a sidelong glance: "Even if you haven't paid attention to his intelligence, you should have seen those water dragons at the beginning, right? Can't you guess that he can control the sea water?"
Sanji suddenly had an idea and exclaimed, "Then, then he is at sea..."
"Yes, it is generally agreed that you should never provoke that pirate group easily on the sea. Although it was not reported in the newspapers, many small pirates who ran into them without knowing what they were doing paid a heavy price."
Zhepu's expression straightened up and he said solemnly, "That's a price so heavy that it would make you fall to the bottom of the sea!"
Sanji was speechless. After a long silence, he raised his chin with his hand and closed it to his upper lip. He turned and walked towards the door behind him, waving his hand and said, "It's none of my business. I haven't offended them. I'm going to greet the ladies."
……
The warship in the distance was approaching quickly, and Gion jumped up and landed on Garp's dog-head warship.
"Cap, are you okay?"
Gion asked with concern as he looked at Garp, who had just finished treating his wounds and changed into clean clothes and reappeared on the deck.
Seeing that Garp was still shaking his head while eating senbei even though he was injured, she continued to sigh softly: "Has he grown to this stage? But, fortunately..."
Since the battle of Batlila in the South Seas, Gion stopped tracking the Kuroko Pirates and returned to the Grand Line.
The reason why she was chasing the Kuroko Pirates was because it was the Navy's response after the World Government received a series of complaints from many stores in the Sabaody Archipelago.
In operations in the South China Sea, the Navy has fully demonstrated their unwavering determination and strong operational capabilities.
Although the Kuroko Pirates were extremely cunning and repeatedly escaped capture, subsequent media reports helped the World Government ease public pressure, and the World Government indirectly helped them out.
In addition, the top naval officials realized that it would be difficult for Gion's warship alone to effectively hunt down Jerry and his men, so they decided to let her return to the headquarters with Aokiji.
A few days ago, Gion happened to be crossing the doldrums and heading to the East China Sea to carry out a mission.
During the voyage, she learned about the sudden events in the Bridge Country and the news that Garp was in the East China Sea.
Gion planned to meet up with Garp on the way to get some documents related to her mission from the latter's warship, but unexpectedly, when she arrived, she happened to catch the naval battle between Garp and Jerry.
“Hahaha! He even wiped out the aftermath of our battle before leaving. He is indeed an interesting kid… cough cough!”
Garp coughed for a while, then grabbed the senbei and teacup at hand and continued to enjoy the delicious food.
Seeing him like this, the naval doctor beside him whispered: "Vice Admiral Karp, actually, at your age now, you don't need to be on the front line like this..."
Before the doctor could finish his words, Garp seemed to have understood what he wanted to convey. He gently waved the senbei in his hand, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
Garp looked serious and spoke in a firm and calm tone, his voice revealing a feeling of having experienced many vicissitudes of life: "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away."
Gion stared at Garp deeply without saying a word.
……
The Kuroko quickly shuttled beyond the horizon, and Jerry lay down on the deck, letting Deuce help him treat his injuries which were not too serious.
"How is it? Are you okay?" the members of the Kuroko Pirates asked with concern.
"Yeah, it's okay. I'm no longer a nobody, nor am I just some nobody." Jerry stretched out his thumb, tapped his chest lightly with his knuckles, and responded to questions from Deuce and others.
"Meow!" Kodaz rubbed his head and shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Kodaz, don't forget that you are a lynx, not a cat." Jerry stroked Kodaz casually.
When everyone saw that he was indeed fine, they finally felt relieved and an irrepressible excitement and cheer surged in their hearts.
That at least tied the record of the navy hero Garp. Whenever I think of this, even though I am not involved, it is enough to make me feel excited.
The smiles on his companions' faces reminded Jerry of the fierce battle just now. He began to carefully review every detail in his mind, thinking about the gains and losses.
"From the perspective of Armament Haki alone, I am still slightly inferior to Garp, but I am very close."
"If you add the Conqueror Haki to it, it will definitely break his defense."
"And even with my observation Haki, I still can't clearly see into the inner thoughts of a person of this level."
'Even if the opponent is injured, it is difficult to do it. At most, it is a flash of thought occasionally. But in battle, it is better to use the sharp perception and short-term foresight of the observation Haki itself, except when bullying the weak.'
'Then there is the ability to control water. It is still not easy to control the water in other people's bodies. You must get close to the opponent's body to combine attacks and increase the damage.'
"It seems that it is not very useful in high-end games, but is it useful in bullying games? I need to think about it more."
Thinking of this, Jerry opened his five fingers, then gently clenched them into a fist, with an excited smile on his face, thinking to himself: "But it seems that I haven't reached my limit yet."
After this battle, Jerry came to a clear conclusion in his mind.
He realized that his strength was now able to rank among the top ones.
Although he himself could not fully explain what level he had reached, his heart was full of expectations and confidence.
The next day, as the news birds scattered newspapers everywhere, countless people were either shocked or sneered.
The front page of Gein's newspaper reported extensively on the fierce confrontation between Jerry and Karp, and very abruptly put forward a bold conclusion at the end of the bulletin board.
The conclusion claims that given Jerry's performance in which he fought Garp to a draw, Jerry has become the biggest challenger who can attack the throne of the Four Emperors or even the Pirate King since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era, following "Red Hair" Shanks.
Morgans initially wanted to give Jerry the prestigious title of "Five Emperors".
However, after the birdman thought about it carefully, he found that this salted fish had been out to sea for several years, but had not yet gained a foothold in the New World, and had not even been in the New World in recent years.
Morgans immediately gave up the idea, otherwise, he would be scolded by countless navy, pirates and even ordinary people.
However, even without the title of "Five Emperors", Morgans' final remarks and opinions in the newspaper were enough to spark a heated discussion among the public.
These sharp views not only attracted widespread attention, but also touched the sensitive nerves of some people, making them dissatisfied and even hostile to Morgans.
