Chapter 129: The Bargain Hunter Garp Appears (Ch 129)

Douglas Barrett was seen emitting a black aura, which was the Armament Haki in his body. As time went on, the Armament Haki gradually covered every part of his huge body.
Seeing this scene, everyone’s eyes widened. They couldn’t imagine that Armament Haki could cover such a huge area, and it was even harder to imagine how exaggerated the total amount of this person’s Armament Haki was.
Sanji’s expression turned very ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, “Damn it! I can’t even harden my whole body with Armament Haki now, and that guy can actually cover such a large body with Armament Haki.”
Zoro on the side also nodded and answered with a very serious expression: “Yes, we must be more careful and must not be hit by him. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.”
Facing the powerful enemy before them, the pressure in everyone’s hearts became heavier. But they did not retreat, but secretly clenched their fists, ready to meet the next challenge.
At this moment, a figure walked out from the crowd. It was Boa Hancock. The surrounding pirates were surprised when they saw this scene, but they still made way unconsciously. Douglas Barrett cast his eyes on this beautiful and powerful woman with a sneer on his face.
“All of you get out of my way!” Boa Hancock shouted arrogantly, her voice full of disdain and majesty. “You will only be a hindrance here. Douglas Barrett is my opponent.” Her tone was firm and confident, as if the whole world should obey her orders.
Hearing this, the pirates did not dare to disobey and retreated to the side. After all, this queen is one of the most powerful people in this sea, and no one dares to provoke her easily. Boa Hancock walked towards Douglas Barrett step by step, exuding a powerful aura with every step, which made people look sideways.
“Woman, are you going to continue challenging me?” Douglas Barrett looked at Boa Hancock with a hint of contempt in his eyes. “Don’t think that you can fight against me just because you have mastered the domineering aura.” His voice was low and cold, as if he was mocking the other party’s arrogance.
Faced with such a provocation, Boa Hancock did not back down. Her gaze was unwavering, like a shining star. “Whether I am your opponent or not, we will only know after we fight.” Her voice was calm and firm, without any fear.
Before she finished speaking, Boa Hancock suddenly raised her foot and stomped hard on the ground. Immediately, a powerful shock wave spread rapidly from her as the center, and the ground instantly sank, forming a huge pit. The surrounding pirates were knocked all over the place by this force, and some even flew out directly.
Douglas Barrett frowned slightly when he saw this, and was obviously a little surprised by Boa Hancock’s strength. However, he did not show too much panic, but instead raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, “Interesting, it seems that you have some skills.” His eyes became sharper, and the aura on his body became stronger.
Boa Hancock took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with fighting spirit and determination. She knew she was about to face a fierce battle, but she was not afraid, because she believed in her own strength and was ready to meet Douglas Barrett’s attack.
Douglas Barrett was so excited by this long-lost feeling that his whole body was shaking. He let out a sharp cry: “Great, this is the long-lost feeling!!”
“This kind of passionate battle is what I pursue! Come on, little devils from the Worst Generation! Show your strength to the fullest and let me fight to my heart’s content.”
And at this moment, they truly realized what a real physical monster was.
Douglas Barrett’s wounds continued to increase, but his attacks did not weaken at all. Each of his punches carried great power, and each attack was accompanied by fierce killing intent.
The battle is still going on, and time is passing by bit by bit.
More than three hours have passed since the battle began.
At the same time, a military ship was sailing towards the sea.
On that ship, there was a conspicuous dog head logo, and this ship was a warship from the Navy Headquarters.
At the bow of the warship, a tall, white-haired old man was standing there, with a relaxed smile on his face and a look of confidence and calmness in his eyes.
This old man is none other than Vice Admiral Garp, a legendary figure in the navy.
Garp stood at the bow, digging his nose with his little finger, looking relaxed and contented. He turned to look at Bogart beside him and asked with a smile: “Bogart, how long will it take us to reach the battlefield?”
Bogart replied respectfully: “Mr. Garp, it will take us about ten minutes to reach the battlefield.” Then, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: “However, Mr. Garp, the battle over there is very fierce. According to intelligence, the battle has lasted for more than three hours, and your grandson… Straw Hat Luffy is among them.”
Hearing the news, Karp did not show much surprise or worry. Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.
He continued to pick his nose, laughed and said, “Haha! You are worthy of being my grandson! Not bad, not bad. Being able to fight an enemy like Douglas Barrett for so long, it seems that his strength has improved quite well.”
Although Karp had not seen the battlefield with his own eyes, he had roughly guessed some of the situations based on his years of experience and understanding of his grandson. He was full of confidence and expectations for his grandson.
Bogart continued to inquire: “Mr. Cap, after we arrive, are we going to take action directly against Douglas Barrett? Or?”
Garp crossed his arms and answered seriously: “Don’t worry, let my disappointing grandson fight with him first, and let them fight until they are exhausted. This will help them better train their strength and will be of great help to his growth.” After saying this, Garp’s mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a relieved smile.
Bogart suddenly understood and nodded, saying, “So that’s how it is. Mr. Garp is really thoughtful. But can your grandson really defeat Douglas Barrett? After all, he was once a member of the Pirate King Roger’s ship.”
Garp answered confidently: “My grandson is no pushover. He has unlimited potential and an indomitable spirit. As long as he is given enough time to hone his skills, he will definitely become one of the world’s top warriors. Moreover, this is also a rare opportunity for him to experience a truly powerful enemy firsthand.”
Bogart nodded, indicating that he agreed with Garp’s point of view. Then, the two of them quietly watched the battlefield in the distance, waiting for Luffy and Ace’s wonderful performance.
Island center.
At this time, Urouge and Bonnie both fell down completely, unable to continue fighting.
Urki stood up, staggered towards Bonnie, stretched out a hand to pull her up, but eventually fell to the ground weakly. Bonnie lay on the ground, motionless, obviously unconscious.
Above the island, Morgans, who had been recording and taking photos from beginning to end, laughed excitedly and said, “This news will also be a hot topic!”
“I wonder if Douglas Barrett can challenge the status of the Four Emperors after his comeback. That would be even more interesting.” Morgans said as he kept pressing the shutter to record this fierce battle in its entirety.
Nami and others from the Straw Hat Pirates, along with members of other pirate groups, all ran to the front of their respective captains, forming a solid line of defense to protect their captains.
Seeing this, Douglas Barrett raised his lips slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and sneered: “No matter how many of you scum come, you will all be defeated by me!”
“Damn it…” Boa Hancock frowned, her face full of anger and unwillingness. She never expected that Douglas Barrett was so powerful. His Armament Haki was so powerful that it was shocking!
Moreover, Boa Hancock found that the opponent’s observation Haki was also quite terrifying, and could predict her attack route. In addition, she herself had just mastered the Haki entanglement not long ago, and was not proficient in using it. At this moment, Boa Hancock knew that she still had a long way to go before she could reach the true level of the general emperor.
Douglas Barrett watched Boya Hancock stand up again, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes, and said, “Woman, you are quite strong. If you give you some more time to grow, maybe even I won’t be able to defeat you so easily.”
“Hmph, stop bragging here! Do you think you can scare me like this? I’m telling you, as long as I’m still alive, I will never let you succeed!” Boa Hancock retorted with disdain. Her eyes were firm and confident, as if she was announcing to Douglas Barrett that she would never back down even in the face of a strong enemy.
Douglas Barrett frowned slightly, his right fist clenched tightly, and the black domineering aura wrapped around it like a flame, emitting a frightening pressure. He stared at Boa Hancock and said coldly: “Woman, the next blow will make you fall completely.”
There was no fear on Boa Hancock’s beautiful face. Her heels were also entangled in the domineering aura, and then she kicked out suddenly, with unparalleled power, straight at Douglas Barrett.
Boom! !
There were two loud noises, and it seemed as if the heaven and earth were shaking. The two domineering powers collided violently again, instantly causing an earth-shattering explosion. The powerful impact caused the surrounding air to become distorted, forming a strong airflow.
As the collision energy continued to compress, Douglas Barrett and Boa Hancock were forced back by the huge pressure of this energy. Their bodies drew an arc in the air and then fell heavily to the ground.
Douglas Barrett quickly stabilized his body, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, but more of it was contempt for Boa Hancock. He swung his fist again and rushed towards Boa Hancock with violent force. Although Boa Hancock still wanted to fight back at this time, she was obviously unable to do so. The fierce collision just now made her consume a lot of physical strength and domineering.
Bang~~
A dull sound echoed in the air, and Boa Hancock’s body was like a kite with a broken string, and was hit hard by Douglas Barrett’s fist and flew out. She fell heavily to the ground, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and her face was extremely pale.
“You ignorant woman, do you really think you can compete with me?” Douglas Barrett twisted his neck, looked at Boa Hancock lying on the ground with disdain, and sneered.
Douglas Barrett walked towards Boa Hancock step by step, leaving a deep footprint on the ground with every step he took. His eyes were full of murderous intent, as if he wanted to completely destroy the woman in front of him. He was ready to give Boa Hancock the final blow, so that she would never be able to stand up again.
However, an accident happened, and a voice came from behind Douglas Barrett.
“The kid on Roger’s ship stayed in Impel Down for so many years. Hasn’t he come to his senses yet?”
When this voice sounded, Douglas Barrett showed a trace of doubt on his face and turned to look behind him. When he saw the person coming, his eyes widened instantly, and his face was full of shock and disbelief.
“Karp!”
Douglas Barrett looked at the person in front of him and shouted out his name through gritted teeth.
Douglas Barrett felt sick when he thought of the old guy Cap.
Because back then, he fought against the Navy Demon Slayer Fleet alone, and it was Garp, the old bastard, who jumped out to take advantage of the situation. If not for that, he would not have ended up being imprisoned in Impel Down.
Garp glanced at Luffy out of the corner of his eye and was relieved to see that he was fine.
Garp clenched his fist and smiled: “Okay Barrett, I’m about to get ready to send you back into Impel Down.” His tone was relaxed, as if this was just an ordinary battle.
However, Douglas Barrett didn’t think so. His eyes were full of anger and indomitable spirit, and he gritted his teeth and said, “Old man, don’t think you can beat me!” Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards Cap like a cannonball.
The ensuing battle was extremely fierce, with both sides fighting back and forth, neither side giving in. Each attack was carried with unparalleled force, shocking everyone. The entire battlefield was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if a bigger conflict could break out at any time.
In this way, the fierce battle lasted for nearly five hours, and finally ended with Douglas Barrett being completely knocked down by Cap. At this time, Douglas Barrett lay on the ground, panting, with unwillingness and helplessness in his eyes.
Garp was also very tired at this time, with wounds all over his body and blood constantly flowing. Although he tried his best to hide it, he couldn’t completely hide his fatigue. After all, time is not forgiving, and he is no longer young.
Karp wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Douglas Barrett in front of him, and sighed in his heart. If there had not been any foreshadowing before, if Douglas Barrett was still in his prime, he would probably have found it difficult to take him down.
Finally, Garp slowly stood up, dusted himself off, and prepared to escort Douglas Barrett away. Before leaving, he did not go to say hello to Luffy, but chose to leave silently. For him, as long as Luffy was safe, it was enough.
