"Yo, my dear friend, how long are you planning to keep zoning out?"
A refreshing breeze swept by. Hamr's flying body gradually steadied before being caught.
That cheerful voice instantly gave Hamr a strong sense of security.
"Dragon, you guys took your sweet ti. I almost bit the bullet."
"Were we late?"
Dragon curled his lips into an exaggerated grin.
"I saw everything. A last-minute breakthrough, Observation Haki awakening. Tsk tsk, Rear Admiral Hamr, quite the talent~."
Hamr: "…"
"Seriously, where'd you get that annoying tone from? The monkey? You're asking to be punched, you know that?"
"Oh, I know."
Hamr: "…"
"My old man has beaten up more tis than I can count. Hell, that's how I unlocked Armant Haki."
Dragon shrugged it off, lifting his right hand as a sheen of black Haki coated his fist.
Hamr: "…"
'As expected, the whole family is abnormal. Getting beat up just makes them stronger…'
'Monkey D. Luffy is like that. And so is his damn father'
While the two of them were chatting…
Garp and World had already started throwing down.
Their fierce clash had the surrounding soldiers watching with trembling hearts.
"Moa moa, Hundredfold Punch!"
"Galaxy Impact"
Garp's Haki was undeniably at the peak of the sea's powerhouses.
World clearly couldn't match him one-on-one, but with the broken power of the Moa Moa Fruit multiplying his abilities, he wasn't at a great disadvantage either.
The two brawny n were happily going at it, fists and kicks flying.
"Hey, Dragon, aren't you going to help?"
"Help? If I even try getting involved, I'll get pounded into a manhole cover by that old man. believe "
Hamr was about to argue, but when he looked up and saw Garp's red face and bulging neck as he laughed and brawled, he swallowed his words.
"…Fine...I guess I'll just enjoy the show, too."
"By the way, where's that old fogey Sengoku? Still not here?"
Dragon shook his head.
"Should be soon. Once my old man heard you ran into World, he actually got serious for once. Very rare."
"Oh? Seriously?"
That genuinely shocked Hamr. In his mind, Garp was always the Marines' chaotic gremlin. For him to show concern and get serious was slightly unsettling and sothing to brag about.
"Yeah, it's true. When he heard you were in danger, he imdiately said, 'Hamr can't die! Where would I find a new toy then?' So we rushed over full speed."
Hamr: "..."
"I knew it!!!"
"Hey, your ship's here too. That must be World's pirate ship behind it."
"Uncle Bogard, should we take them out?"
Dragon rubbed his hands together, battle intent flaring in his eyes.
He couldn't join the boss fight, but taking down so officers was fair ga, right?
Bogard, the hat-wearing man, narrowed his eyes. A cold glint flashed as his right hand moved instinctively to his sword hilt.
"No problem!"
"All units, prepare for battle! First priority: secure Rear Admiral Hamr's ship. Then wipe out the World Pirates!"
"OHHH!!!"
With Bogard's command, the Doghead warship charged forward, brimming with fighting spirit.
"Damn it, Garp!"
"Big Brother Byojack! Turn the ship!"
Watching the Garp's warship draw closer, World's face showed a rare flash of panic.
Garp seized the mont and threw a punch straight into World's face, a cannon punch right to the jaw.
"DISTRACTED DURING OUR FIGHT? BWAAHAHA! YOU INSULTING , PUNK?!"
"YOU DAMN MAD DOG! NO WONDER ROGER COUND'T STAND YOU!"
Even with Armant Haki covering his face, World couldn't take Garp's punch. Blood spurted from his nose instantly.
"Hmph! Now you've forced to bite, no, wait, beat you down until you every bone in your body is broken."
"Take this!"
"KEEP YAPPING, I'LL KNOCK YOUR TEETH OUT!"
The brawl reignited with renewed fury.
anwhile, the lower deck of World's pirate ship was in chaos.
First Mate Byojack's face was grim.
"Nightin! Give them the ds, start with Sebastian!"
"If Garp's crew gets close, we're in for a bloody battle!"
"Only Sebastian can get us out alive!"
Nightin, previously knocked out by Hamr, had regained consciousness, though the blow had damaged her internal organs.
Still, she was the ship's doctor and highly skilled with dicine.
With a cocktail of herbal suppressants, she temporarily stabilized her condition and rushed to treat the Wotan Sebastian.
Watching the frantic crew, Byojack looked up at World battling in the sky, a troubled look on his face.
The steel behemoth's speed was far beyond Hamr's small warship.
It quickly joined up with Lance's group.
"Lance, what's our battle damage?"
Hamr urgently ran up to Lance to ask.
"Shirley is gravely injured. Over thirty soldiers are heavily wounded. The rest have minor injuries. Thankfully, no casualties."
"Our firepower gave us the edge, but the heavily injured were all hit by two enemy officers."
Hamr sighed in relief.
These soldiers had followed him for a long ti. He couldn't bear to lose them.
He silently resolved to better refine his unit once they returned to base.
"Shirley's heavily injured… That damn fishman, hmp… Tch!"
"Lance, move the ship to avoid the conflict zone. Leave the rest to ."
Ignoring his battered body, Hamr boarded Garp's ship, leaving Lance with a resolute silhouette.
Lance nodded heavily and resud directing the crew.
"You sure you're in any condition to fight?"
Dragon looked doubtfully at the battered Hamr.
"Don't worry, I'm not fighting the World. Just so small fries, I can manage."
"Besides, with you guys here, how could I possibly die?"
He gripped his trident and stood proudly on the deck.
"Fine, suit yourself. But don't you dare steal my targets."
Dragon crossed his arms casually.
"That fishman giant is mine. The rest, take your pick."
Hamr locked eyes on the blue figure aboard the pirate ship.
Last ti he didn't get a satisfying jolt out of that fish… This ti, he'd fry him good!
The Doghead Patch and the pirate ship were drawing closer.
"Cannons ready!"
"FIRE!"
Both sides gave the sa command. Gunfire and cannon blasts erupted.
"Hahahaha! I'm going in!"
"Tornadoes!"
Dragon let out a hearty laugh. Clapping his hands together, four attack bursts from the air, surrounding the pirate ship.
"Air Cube! Shield!"
Of course, Devil Fruit users never played fair, especially Paracia types.
Gairam, Paracia: Cube Cube Fruit.
Dozens of cubes appeared out of thin air, blocking the tornadoes.
"Oh! A Devil Fruit user? Then you're mine!"
The wind howled.
The battle between ships had officially begun!
