Chapter 126 One Punch KOs Garp! Hades Activates!
The sea churned, and the waves suddenly turned into a tsunami, nearly capsizing the warship.
Countless curses erupted from inside the warship, where the sailors, who had been sleeping soundly, were thrown about by the tsunami.
The CPO members stared blankly.
This is a sign that would only arise from a duel between two top-tier, domineering powerhouses.
"Why are they fighting?!"
The CPO members were shocked and quickly picked up the Den Den Mushi to report the situation to the Five Elders.
It was late at night, and the call was answered after a long time.
"What is it now?"
"A battle has broken out in Wano Country!"
"What?! I told you not to move and wait for reinforcements from Navy Headquarters."
"It wasn't us, it was the Red-Haired Pirates fighting with the Revolutionary Army!"
"How could they?! Hahaha, Shanks actually made such a choice, truly befitting the Figarand bloodline."
Five different laughs came from the other end of the phone; clearly, the news made the Five Elders very happy.
"In the enemy's home turf, the Red-Haired Pirates might not be a match for them. Fortunately, Garp is nearby, and reinforcements from Marine Headquarters will be arriving soon. You guys try to buy some time—"
After saying that, the Five Elders hung up the phone, leaving the CPO members holding the receiver in despair.
Delaying time?
This is practically asking me to risk my life!
There are some things the Five Elders won't say outright, but how could the CPO members, who are also henchmen, not understand them?
With a bitter expression, he relayed the Five Elders' orders to the Navy.
The naval fleet responsible for assisting CP0 in its monitoring efforts was led by a vice admiral from headquarters, with two rear admirals under his command.
For other forces, a force of one lieutenant general plus two major generals would already be quite powerful.
pity-
Their enemy is the revolutionary army.
"We have no advantage in close combat. Let's maintain distance and use artillery fire to suppress the revolutionary army on the shore!"
At the lieutenant general's command, the fleet formed a battle formation and slowly approached the coast.
The revolutionary army also noticed the unusual activity and gathered its forces to prepare for a counterattack.
The battle broke out inexplicably, and the overwhelming artillery bombardment failed to affect the fight between Chu Yang and Shanks.
Shanks even had the leisure to joke: "How come the Navy suddenly has the courage to launch an attack? I thought they would just stay there like mascots forever."
Chu Yang grinned, "They probably think we're having an internal conflict."
Shanks laughed heartily, "Then they're in for a world of hurt."
As the two chatted and laughed, their domineering auras clashed, and black lightning burst forth from the void.
Shanks' Conqueror's Haki has surpassed Kaido's; his talent in this area is truly unmatched.
In comparison, Chu Yang is slightly inferior in terms of domineering aura alone.
"Your domineering presence is even stronger than I imagined. I thought my recent progress would have allowed me to pull far ahead of you."
Although he said that, Shanks was actually very happy. Chu Yang was strong enough that Shanks felt at ease letting him do anything.
Chu Yang held Fengdu in his hand and casually slashed, splitting the sea open with a crack a hundred meters wide, cleaving a sea king below in two.
Shanks' expression turned grim; this was equivalent to his full-force attack.
Drawing his sword, Griffin, Shanks' fighting spirit soared to the heavens. He could vaguely sense that this might be their last battle.
Shanks swung his sword repeatedly, each strike imbued with Conqueror's Haki, displaying astonishing power.
Chu Yang dodged the attack using the Instant Step technique.
The strikes missed their mark, some flying towards the mountains, others heading towards the sea.
The mountains were shattered into dust.
A hundred-meter-long crack appeared in the sea, exactly the same as Chu Yang's previous strike.
Because both sides were taking it so seriously, even the Red-Haired Pirates, who were aware of the situation, had the illusion that the two were fighting to the death.
The others panicked even more.
The sudden appearance of the navy in the attack inevitably raises suspicions.
The samurai, who knew nothing about the Red-Haired Pirates, were the first to step forward and loudly questioned the members of the Red-Haired Pirates with a hostile attitude.
"What's wrong with your captain? Why are you starting a war so easily?"
"You despicable scoundrels, I saw it coming long ago. You brought the navy here with you, didn't you?"
"As pirates, how dare you cooperate with the Navy? What exactly are you plotting against Wano Country?!"
Ben Beckman sensed something was wrong when faced with the agitated samurai. He had originally planned to watch the fun, but he hadn't expected to become the fun himself.
"A bunch of idiots! Yang was one of our crew members. He was always fighting with the captain when he was on the ship. What's so strange about that?"
Yasopp couldn't hold back and stood up to argue with the warriors.
"Exactly, if we were really going to attack you, would we need to contact the Navy? Don't underestimate the Red-Haired Pirates!"
Lachle Roux’s eyes and tone were extremely disdainful, and his words were like adding fuel to the fire.
The samurai's emotions became even more agitated!
Having been enslaved by Kaido before, they already had a bad impression of pirates. Because of Chu Yang, they had been suppressing their malice towards the Red-Haired Pirates, but it suddenly erupted now.
Once the two sides got angry, there were signs that they were about to start a fight.
Tiger quickly led his crew to stand between the two groups, explaining to the samurai while also calming the Red-Haired Pirates.
Long Zheng was engaged in battle with the revolutionary army and the navy, and had no time to deal with this matter.
A chaotic free-for-all ensued, with everyone fighting their own battles.
Chu Yang and Shanks focused their attention on the battle, and minor details did not affect them.
The two have entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.
Aside from his domineering aura and swordsmanship, Chu Yang didn't use any other abilities, yet he still held an absolute advantage.
Having experienced the trials of the martial arts world and the world of Fengyun, Chu Yang's swordsmanship has reached another dimension, a level of power that Shanks cannot comprehend.
He didn't deliberately use Tai Chi sword or Dugu Nine Swords, but just casually swung his sword.
Simplicity and directness are the characteristics of swordsmanship in the One Piece world, and what Chu Yang needs to do is to further simplify the complex on this basis.
Every move is perfectly natural, bearing the traces of the "Tao," and cannot be described in words.
Shanks was stunned by this strange feeling; the world he saw seemed to have changed under Chu Yang's sword.
From Shanks' perspective, Chu Yang was using a sword to cast a spell.
Swordsmanship that is difficult even to understand, let alone to counter, left Shanks with a mostly bewildered expression as the battle drew to a close.
The duel gradually evolved into a unique swordsmanship instruction session.
"Your swordsmanship has been strange from the beginning, and it's becoming increasingly incomprehensible. In terms of swordsmanship alone, even Hawkeye wouldn't be your match."
Shanks sheathed his sword and looked at Chu Yang with a complicated expression. Before the battle began, he never thought he would "lose" the duel in this way.
"Whether it's swordsmanship or domineering aura, surpassing yourself is always more important than surpassing others."
Chu Yang smiled.
Shanks remained silent for a moment, then forced a smile and asked, "Are you disembarking?"
Chu Yang took a deep breath, nodded, and smiled, "Captain, my journey has come to an end. Saying goodbye here is the best way."
Shanks breathed a sigh of relief, "The journey will eventually come to an end, it's just that after all these years, I still haven't gotten used to it."
C
Chu Yang looked at Shanks and said sincerely, "Even after I disembark, I will always be a member of the Red-Haired Pirates."
Kex nodded matter-of-factly. "Of course! Beckman even said he'd give you the position of first mate!"
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
next second.
A gigantic iron ball flew over the two of them and smashed an ancient building to pieces.
A hearty laugh rang out.
"Red-haired devil, I'm back for you again! You're much slower at running away than Roger!"
"Once I catch you, I'll make sure you get your money's worth for what you did to Luffy!"
"That bastard's been talking about becoming a pirate every day lately!"
"This is infuriating!"
A warship was docking, and a majestic and tall figure stood on its deck.
Garp, wearing a dog-head hat, stared intently at Shanks, his eyes practically spitting fire!
Shanks' expression froze. He had shaken off the old man before he arrived, but he hadn't expected the old man to relentlessly chase after him again.
"Fighting Garp, the hero of the Navy, would be the most fitting farewell ceremony."
Chu Yang laughed and took a step forward. In a flash, he appeared on a warship a thousand meters away.
Karp's vision blurred, and suddenly a strange young man appeared in his field of vision.
"Hey kid, who are you?"
"He looks kind of familiar—"
Garp squinted, his fist, bigger than a sandbag, waving back and forth in front of Chu Yang.
A soldier rushed to Karp's side and whispered a few words.
Garp looked like he suddenly understood.
"You're the one who beat up Borsalino?! And you're the one who held off the Revolutionary Army's several attacks by the Navy?!"
"Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, these guys also fell to your hands?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, really, should I say I'm getting old, or are the young people these days just too amazing?"
Garp seemed to have thought of something amusing, and burst into laughter, clutching his stomach. "Putting everything else aside, the bounty on the Celestial Dragons was quite good. It's been a long time since I've seen those guys look so defeated; it made me happy for a long time."
"Even now, thinking about it makes me laugh out loud!!!"
Chu Yang looked at him with great interest.
Even though they were on opposing sides, he couldn't bring himself to hate Garp.
Seeing Garp laughing uncontrollably, the navy soldier beside him had to remind him, "Mr. Garp, this is not the time to laugh. This is a vicious and ruthless fellow!"
Garp stopped laughing, scratched his head awkwardly, and then coughed a few times with a serious expression.
"While what you've done is interesting, the result is that pirates are becoming increasingly rampant, harming many innocent civilians. In any case, this farce should stop." Garp clenched his fist and said seriously.
Chu Yang nodded and said, "You're right, it really should end here."
Garp was taken aback. He had just said it casually, but he didn't expect the pirate opposite him to agree with his point of view.
"You're quite sensible; if you surrender now, I'll go easy on you."
"That's something I can't agree to."
A fist wreathed in Conqueror's Haki slammed into Garp's face, sending him flying from bow to stern and breaking the central mast.
"Your fists are pretty hard, aren't they?"
Garp stood up from the pile of rubble and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"It's just that yours is a little harder."
When fighting Garp, Chu Yang didn't need to use any martial virtues. After knocking Garp away, he just kept stacking buffs on himself.
The dazzling special effects left even the battle-hardened Garp completely bewildered.
After decades of ups and downs, this is the first time I've encountered such an opponent.
"What kind of Devil Fruit power is this?"
Garp was genuinely envious; he preferred the intimidating spectacle to the simple, unadorned power of a pair of iron fists.
"Have you heard of the 'layered armor' strategy?"
Chu Yang chuckled, raised his fist, and charged forward. Fighting hand-to-hand combatants like Garp was his favorite thing to do.
In a straightforward manner, the two sides simply clashed fist to fist.
The most annoying enemies are sorcerers, death gods, and the like, who can use power based on rules. They are troublesome to kill and may even break through their defenses.
How can the nail polish that you painstakingly built be as fragile as that membrane?
Garp, the pinnacle of Haki, clearly didn't take Chu Yang's Conqueror's Haki seriously. When Chu Yang swung his fist at him, he actually chose to use Armament Haki to counter him.
He could underestimate Chu Yang's domineering aura, but he shouldn't underestimate the buffs Chu Yang possessed.
Conqueror's Haki Entanglement VS Armament Haki Entanglement.
As a result, the careless Garp was punched away by Chu Yang for the second time, flying straight through the warship and falling into the sea.
This silenced not only the naval soldiers on the dog-headed warship, but also the naval fleet next door that was exchanging fire with the revolutionary army.
"The mighty Navy hero Garp was actually knocked away by two punches?" A group of Navy personnel, including the CPO, were dumbfounded.
Long watched helplessly as his own father got beaten up, and to make matters worse, the person who beat him up was his own teammate. The expression on his face was extremely interesting.
"This guy actually held back when he fought me?!"
The leap was too great for Shanks to accept, and he kept trying to convince himself that he was dreaming.
"Those two punches have crushed the Navy's morale. Now's the time to bring out Pluton and break through their defensive formation."
Tiger immediately led the Sun Pirates and disappeared off the coast.
Chu Yang jumped off the warship and walked on the sea as if it were flat ground. He walked to the spot where Kapu had fallen into the sea and waited quietly.
The sea surface suddenly began to ripple, and concentric circles of ripples formed giant waves that crashed against the rocks on the shore.
Garp burst out of the sea, the immense impact causing the surface to explode.
"I'm really getting old. I've been misjudging people time and time again. Young man, I'll be a bit heavy-handed next."
Garp, his entire body enveloped in Conqueror's Haki, plummeted from the sky like a meteorite, crashing straight into Chu Yang.
"It's alright, it's my hometown, I don't hold back either."
Chu Yang stepped onto the sea and soared into the sky, his right fist wreathed in Conqueror's Haki, and slammed towards Garp.
The two collided.
In an instant, the world changed color.
The night was as bright as day!
The overwhelming blue light pierced the sky and illuminated the entire sea.
The light dissipated.
Only Chu Yang stood alone in the sky.
His entire body was wrapped in black lightning.
Garp fell from the sky like a shooting star, crashing heavily into the sea. He was covered in blood, with only a sliver of consciousness remaining.
"How can someone be so strong—"
Garp, his consciousness blurred, gazed up at Chu Yang in the sky, as if he were a god.
Chu Yang unleashed a full-force attack with all his might, and Garp wasn't killed in one punch. His resilience is enough to make him stand out in the entire One Piece world.
With that punch, Garp was completely shattered, inside and out, like a broken piece of porcelain. Even with Garp's superhuman physique, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for at least ten days or half a month.
If we don't take drastic measures, given Garp's perseverance, who knows how long he'll have to keep going with Chu Yang.
Garp, who had fallen into the sea, floated silently on the surface like a real corpse. Chu Yang scooped him up and threw him back onto the dog-headed warship.
The navy personnel present were ashen-faced. Their faith, built up over so many years, crumbled before their eyes. The despair they felt was palpable.
The naval fleet that was fighting the revolutionary army also went out of service and completely gave up resistance.
A large number of warships were reduced to burning scrap metal, lying tragically on the sea surface and slowly sinking.
During this time, Dragon killed the CP0 member who was in charge of surveillance.
"It's time to go," Dragon said to Ivankov.
"You won't even glance at your father," Ivankov joked.
Dragon paused, turned to look at where Garp was, remained silent for a moment, and then actually made the ship move closer to him.
At this moment, the sailors on the dog-headed warship were in a state of panic, and even Garp's adjutant, Bogart, could not calm them down.
As soon as Long and his ship approached, the naval soldiers became extremely nervous and saw danger everywhere.
Help me up.
Karp's voice wasn't as strong as usual, and Bogart almost didn't hear it.
Garp could no longer stand up and could only lean against the broken mast, sitting and watching the dragon arrive.
"I used a little force."
Chu Yang felt a little embarrassed. It was somewhat unreasonable to beat his father up like that in front of his son.
"I understand."
Long nodded slightly. He understood Chu Yang's dilemma. In fact, if he could, he wouldn't want to meet his father so soon either.
The moment Long stepped onto the deck of the warship, the other side was already on edge.
He slowly walked up to Karp.
Father and son looked at each other.
But no one spoke first.
The warship was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the only sound was the hissing of the flames.
About ten seconds later, the dragon turned and left.
Heavy breathing could be heard one after another on the warship.
Garp suddenly smiled with satisfaction. "You brat, trying to convince yourself you're right, huh?"
"As a complete loser, I can't refute him. This time, he can only be considered the winner."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Shanks' expression was complicated. Garp and Dragon reminded him of the late Captain Roger, the man who raised him and was more like a father than a captain.
"I'm leaving."
Chu Yang said softly.
"It's definitely time to go. Garp is here, and the Navy's support should be arriving soon." Shanks nodded and smiled. "Don't worry about Wano Country; I'll stay here for a while."
"Also, take Mr. Tom with you. His biggest dream in life is to see Hades with his own eyes."
at the same time.
Tiger is leading the fish-men in assembling a sliding track that stretches from the old site of Wano Country all the way to the sea.
A long time ago, Chu Yang and Quinn Gagge had built a super-large crane.
Now, once the slide rails are assembled, Tiger can hoist Pluto onto the rails and transport him all the way to the coast.
This was a plan that had been prepared long ago, but it was disrupted and delayed by the arrival of the Red-Haired Pirates.
As time goes by.
The fishermen were sweating profusely as they worked on assembling the slide rails. Some threw their tools aside and shouted that they couldn't do it anymore.
Assembling the slide rails would normally take a whole day, but now the fishmen have to complete it in a short time.
Tiger looked at his companions with a worried expression.
The revolutionary army is growing stronger, and Chu Yang is also becoming stronger, defeating many powerful enemies.
Only he and the Sun Pirates remain unchanged. If this continues, they may become the ones who drag the team down.
It's not a pleasant feeling to suddenly fall behind when everyone is moving towards the same goal.
Since they are allies and partners, they need to be able to rely on and help each other, rather than them constantly taking from each other.
If we can't contribute now, what about later?
After attacking the Holy Land, is he going to lead the fishmen to stand by and cheer as cheerleaders?
This was a true test of Tiger's soul and conscience!
"Get up, all of you! You can't even do this simple thing right now, get out of the Sun Pirates!"
"If any of you want your family and friends to continue being slaves, then get out of here! Don't waste your time!"
Jinbe raised a section of the rail and roared furiously, "From the first day I stepped into this place, I was prepared to die. As long as I can overthrow the Celestial Dragons' rule and eliminate slavery, I'm willing to die right now!"
Jinbe's roar was deafening, silencing all the fishmen and making them feel ashamed of themselves.
The natural defenses of Wano Country and Chu Yang's strength gave them a sense of security and protection.
Over time, one's inner awareness has been almost completely eroded.
People who are used to peaceful days find it hard to turn back to face knives and fire.
"Mr. Tiger, we're here to help!"
"How can you possibly finish all this work?"
"Let us do it. We've been doing these things for years when Kaido was still around."
The common people of Wano Country appeared in the town at some unknown time and spontaneously picked up tools to help the fish-men assemble the slide rails.
Everyone had a smile on their face, as if they were happy to be able to help them.
Once upon a time, these commoners were very wary of the fishmen, and the two sides were at each other's throats, disliking each other.
Now, the two have become friends and partners.
"These people destroyed the natural barrier with their own hands, exposing themselves to the Celestial Dragons, all so that Pluton could be born smoothly. If we just stop here, how can we face them?"
Tiger, his eyes red, questioned his companion.
Perhaps out of shame, or perhaps because they had more to protect, the fishmen rekindled their fighting spirit!
The assembly speed of the slide rails increased dramatically.
Not long after, Chu Yang arrived with Tom, Quinn, and the others. Quinn and Judge stayed behind to help assemble the slide rails, while Chu Yang took Tom to the power room.
Tom explored the heart-shaped power source with great delight.
After a long pause, he said seriously, "We need sunlight!"
Time passed second by second.
The slide rails were finally assembled, and Quinn hoisted Hades onto the rails.
The sky was already beginning to brighten.
Sunlight shone on the hull of the Hades.
The terrifying ancient weapon began to tremble, and the power room emitted sounds like the roar of an ancient beast.
"It's solar-powered?"
Chu Yang stared at the power source in utter surprise. He had imagined many possibilities, but he never expected that Hades' power source would be so environmentally friendly.
"To be precise, the sun provides the spark of energy that ignites this device, while the sun itself can create a near-limitless amount of energy."
Tom explained from the side.
"Sounds like an upgraded version of controlled nuclear fusion—"
Chu Yang smacked his lips, suddenly feeling a bit thirsty. If he could figure out the principle of the Hades Power Source, his technology would take off immediately.
Feedback to the Marvel universe not only allows Iron Man's Jaeger to evolve into several versions, but also grants him an endless army of machines.
With power, Pluto was like a monster awakening, its internal workings slowly beginning to function.
"Now we can go to the control room and pilot Pluto away from here."
Tom reminded Chu Yang, "Controlling Hades is not simple; it requires a very capable helmsman."
Jinbe is the one in charge, of course!
Looking at it this way, it seems that the merfolk have a lot of talented people, including shipbuilders and sailors.
Chu Yang first took Tom to the control room, and then called Jinbe up to start the boat.
The Revolutionary Army, the Sun Pirates, and Queen and his crew also boarded the ship one after another.
Hiyori Kozuki did not board the ship, but the samurai did. Chu Yang tried to persuade them to go back, but they said it was the only chance they could repay their debt of gratitude.
Moreover, the Red-Haired Pirates are there to protect Wano Country.
Although the samurai did not believe in pirates, they were willing to believe in Chu Yang.
Chu Yang couldn't persuade these stubborn people, so he had no choice but to lead them away to attack the Holy Land, with the warriors also providing assistance.
After everyone boarded the ship, Jinbe, at Chu Yang's signal, started the Hades battleship.
The immense power propelled Hades forward on the track, transforming it into a land-based vessel, and its speed increased rapidly.
"With a few modifications, it might become an amphibious space carrier."
Chu Yang was amazed by the power of Pluto's power, and the image of the Helicarrier from S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Marvel universe flashed through his mind.
He thought it had great potential.
They'll launch a surprise attack on the Holy Land from the sky; those Celestial Dragons will be terrified.
Chu Yang went to the control room, found Tom, and explained his idea. Tom was stunned for a while before nodding and saying, "Theoretically speaking, it's feasible."
"I just checked Pluto's equipment; it has short-term flight capabilities."
"Describing it as flying might not be quite accurate; it should be described as generating a powerful propulsive force in an instant, propelling Pluto to the target location."
Chu Yang thought about it and realized that this was the "wind explosion" of the Sunny.
So this is where Frankie got his idea—
As the two spoke, Hades drew ever closer to the shore, and Shanks had already seen this legendary behemoth with his own eyes.
"This is the ancient weapon Hades—can it rival the power of the gods?"
Shanks muttered to himself.
The crew of the Red-Haired Pirates and the marines on the dog-headed warship stared in disbelief as Pluton burst from the land and crashed headfirst into the sea.
The waves directly submerged the beach.
Pluto moved slowly, brushing past the dog-headed warship. The massive hull blocked the sunlight, plunging the warship's deck into darkness.
It was as if a monster had devoured the sunlight.
The sailors stood in the darkness, gazing in horror at the legendary ancient weapon.
"Compared to Pluto, our warships are like toys."
Bogart seemed to have all his energy drained away, staring blankly at Pluto, unsure how the Navy should deal with this behemoth before them.
The menacing cannons, the size of normal ships, could annihilate an entire naval fleet with a single shot.
Even after Pluto left, the navy remained rooted to the spot, staring blankly into the distance.
