Chapter 43: Garp! Will You Attack Me Like Dragon?
Two days later, Kael left Loguetown in a hurry. He had received news that the Marine hero had returned to Foosha Village. Shouldn't he take advantage of Dragon's attack to threaten and use this old man? Three types of Haki, I'm coming! Rokushiki can't be missed either! Also, Iron Fist Garp's subordinate, Bogard, is a powerful Grand Swordsman.
He can train Zoro and Saga. These are all debts owed by Dragon, and Garp, as his father, must repay them. Otherwise, don't blame the Goa Empire for turning Foosha Village into a dump and making it restless!
Kael left the four pirate slaves, Iron Bear (Bear King), Jango, and the Nyaban Brothers, with Bartolomeo. "If you follow the Barto Club for one year, you will regain your freedom and become a member of the Goa Empire." This was the hope Kael left them.
And their bounties, like Eldoraggo's, had already been reported by Kael to Marine Headquarters and canceled. Considering the attitude of Garp and Bogard, the two Marines, towards pirates, Kael finally left Eldoraggo to assist Bartolomeo in unifying the East Blue underworld.
Several days later, the Exile Emperor finally returned to the Goa Empire. Queen Sarie and a group of nobles came out to welcome their Emperor. Kael's injury in Loguetown this time had truly frightened them. The rise and glory of the Goa Empire were now deeply intertwined with Kael. If something happened to Kael, how could they hold onto such a vast territory?
"Kael, you're finally back!" Queen Sarie, like a swallow returning to its nest, threw herself into Kael's arms. This scene made Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya envious. And the Honey Queen, wearing a slave collar, looked at Queen Sarie, this blonde beauty, with immense envy in her eyes. She was also a blonde beauty, so why had she fallen to become a mere slave? It truly was, comparing goods makes you discard them, comparing people makes you cry.
Amidst the overwhelming cheers in the Goa Imperial Capital, Kael and his group returned to the palace. Kael, of course, stayed with Queen Sarie, while Eric, Van Augur, Zoro, and Saga naturally went to train. Nami and the others also went to study navigation, nutrition, and medical skills. Baratie had arrived in the Goa Imperial Capital waters a few days ago to expand its market, and business was booming.
Now, Zeff had made plans to patrol and do business in the former Sambas Kingdom waters and the Goa Imperial Capital waters. Anyway, these waters were now the territorial waters of the Goa Empire, so they could travel freely and unimpeded. There were also fewer pirates in this area, making business safer.
They were also waiting for Kael to embark on his world tour, visiting the Allied Nations of the Four Seas, and to summon Sanji to accompany the ship to search for the All Blue. However, next, he would first have to overcome the war with the Germa 66 evil army before Kael could begin his world journey.
If the Goa Empire couldn't defeat Germa 66, then everything would be for naught. He and Sanji would both have to flee, escaping the pursuit of Germa 66. However, for some reason, Zeff felt that Kael would definitely win against Germa 66; it was his intuition.
That night, Kael and Queen Sarie were incredibly passionate, fully expressing their longing for each other. Considering the Germa crisis, Kael did not linger in the gentle embrace. The next day, he directly took Eric, Van Augur, Zoro, and Saga to Foosha Village, which was within their national territory.
"Your Majesty, can we really train under the Marine hero's Grand Swordsman subordinate?" Saga's eyes were filled with longing, and Zoro's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Let you truly witness the strength of a top-tier swordsman." "The World's Greatest Swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, is much stronger than Bogard, the subordinate of Marine hero Iron Fist Garp." "To challenge Hawkeye Mihawk, Zoro, you still need to train hard and see more of the world." Kael was determined to make good use of Iron Fist Garp and the others this time to atone for Dragon's sins.
"I wonder if there are any top-tier snipers on the Marine hero's ship?" Van Augur also wanted to improve; previously, growing as a Bounty Hunter alone was too slow. Eric didn't know if there was anyone who could teach him, but meeting more important figures was always a good thing.
A few hours later, at Makino's Pub in Foosha Village, Village Chief Woop Slap and the pub owner Makino respectfully served the illustrious Goa Emperor. Several villagers had already rushed up Colubo Mountain to call Garp back. Kael and his group saw Iron Fist Garp's dog-head battleship and the elite Marines under the Marine hero.
"That Marine officer wearing a cowboy hat, is he the Marine hero's subordinate?" Green-haired Zoro stared intently at the Marine officer in a brown suit, leaning against the railing, resting, his cowboy hat pulled down, covering his eyes.
But Zoro could feel the sharp sword intent emanating from this Marine. Bogard also seemed to sense that a swordsman was watching him. He looked up, pushed his cowboy hat back, and a pair of deep and sharp eyes looked towards Zoro and Saga.
"Two brats, good sword intent." Bogard only took one glance and lost interest. Because they were too weak. He didn't have time to go down and teach these brats a lesson. However, on the King of Exile, Bogard felt a faint sense of crisis. 'King of Exile, have I already entered his ability range?' Bogard frowned and instinctively used Armament Haki for defense.
He believed that Armament Haki could block any Devil Fruit ability. If it couldn't be blocked, it was only because the Armament Haki was not strong enough. The depth of Devil Fruit ability development and the strength of Armed Haki have always been a matter of who is stronger, who restrains whom.
Just like the abilities and techniques of the three Admirals, ordinary Armament Haki cannot block them. Even mid-to-high level Armament Haki might not be able to block a single punch from Admiral Akainu.
Because Sakazuki had developed the Magu Magu no Mi (Magma-Magma Fruit) ability to a terrifying degree. Furthermore, Admiral Akainu's dual Haki and physical combat skills were also not weak. Perhaps Admiral Akainu could defeat most Marine Vice Admirals with just Haki, physical combat, and sword skills.
"Ahahaha! The Goa Emperor wants to see me? Is he looking for trouble with me?" Before the person arrived, his voice did, a deep laugh echoing down from the mountain, and it even carried Conqueror's Haki, specifically pressuring Kael and his group. In an instant, Eric was the first to fall to his knees, hands on the ground, and Saga was the second, using Shusui to support himself, cold sweat pouring down.
Van Augur also gritted his teeth, leaning against the wall, forcing himself not to fall. And Zoro held his sword tightly, standing firm. He had already experienced the Conqueror's Haki of the green-robed man and Kael in Loguetown; he would not be so pathetic again.
"Garp! Are you going to attack me like Dragon did!" Kael roared in anger, a powerful aura erupting. In an instant, all the villagers in Makino's Pub fell to the ground, eyes rolling back, and even some elite Marines at the port collapsed.
"Argh! Don't use Conqueror's Haki if you don't know how; you'll hurt them!" Garp, who had intended to give Kael a warning, saw Kael also unleash Conqueror's Haki, indiscriminately knocking out so many people, and immediately started grumbling. And Bogard stared intently at Kael, who was unleashing Conqueror's Haki, and Zoro, who remained standing.
He felt not only tenacious sword intent but also a faint will of conviction from this green-haired brat. Could this brat also have the potential of a King? And seeing Kael's cold expression, he felt that something was about to happen.
