This sudden change caught Ikki off guard.
Fortunately, despite soaring thousands of miles in midair, Ikki remained agile. He twisted his body mid-flight, narrowly dodging the powerful and heavy punch.
"Hahaha... Boys, it really is you! I’ve finally found you!"
"What the hell? Garp?!"
Ikki was stunned. Why did he always run into this guy whenever he traveled through ti?
Garp had been the first person he encountered when he initially crossed over from Blue Star to the One Piece world. When he traveled fifty years into the past, he had run into him again. And now, once more, on the very sa day—
"Are you the head of Novice Village or sothing?" Ikki asked, exasperated.
"What kind of village head nonsense is that?!"
Garp cracked his knuckles. "I’m not letting you escape this ti!"
Just then, a massive club ca crashing down from the sky, aiming straight for Garp.
Hearing the sharp whistle of the air being split, Garp instinctively dodged, then turned his gaze toward the source—Kaido, gripping his enormous kanabo tightly.
Ikki also noticed Kaido stepping in.
"Hey... Kaido, get out of here. Leave him to us!"
Kaido shook his head. "Brother, how could I abandon you and run off alone?"
Kaido was nothing if not loyal. But Ikki and his crew had the advantage; they could leave anyti they wanted—especially since there was no land here, and Ikki had the upper hand in aerial combat.
"Kaido, don’t slow us down! You’re useless here! Leave now, or I won’t acknowledge you as my little brother anymore!"
If anyone in the future Beasts Pirates or the New World saw Ikki talking to Kaido like that, their jaws would hit the floor.
Kaido didn’t respond. Instead, he swung his kanabo at Garp once more.
This ti, Garp didn’t dodge. He coated his fists in Armant Haki and t the strike head-on.
With just two exchanges, Kaido’s arms were already numb from the impact. He knew—this Marine was completely out of his league.
After taking a deep look at Ikki and Ace, Kaido withdrew his kanabo and left aboard a yacht.
Garp didn’t stop him. His target was the two young n standing before him.
Ikki knew that if he ran now, Garp would just turn around and chase after Kaido. He had to stall for ti.
And what better way to do that than with the wrestler?
As soon as Ikki pulled out the wrestler, Garp’s expression grew serious—his fighting spirit igniting.
He had long anticipated this mont. In preparation for capturing Ikki and Ace, he had spent the past few years strengthening his waist to withstand the wrestler’s legendary grappling techniques.
The wrestler glanced at Garp and asked, "Wrestling him again?"
Ikki nodded and tossed ten million to the wrestler. "Ten rounds first!"
The wrestler took the money and was about to take action, but before he could charge forward, Ikki curiously asked, "Are there any gifts this ti?"
The wrestler froze for a mont before responding, "Brother! You wrestled this guy just half a day ago, and I already gave you a freebie once. Now you want a discount again? Isn’t that a bit shaless?"
It was the first ti Ikki had ever heard the wrestler say so much. He realized that asking for a discount must have really hit a nerve.
"Uh... never mind, forget the discount. Just throw him as usual..."
Ignoring Ikki, the wrestler stepped onto the sea, walking toward Garp. As he got close, he suddenly leaped into the air, grabbed Garp’s arm with both hands, and went for an over-the-shoulder throw.
Garp had been waiting for this mont. The instant the wrestler lunged at him, he straightened his waist and coated it with Armant Haki.
He was confident. After years of training, he believed he could finally withstand the wrestler’s legendary throw.
It was a great plan—too bad reality had other ideas.
With a swift motion, the wrestler still managed to flip Garp over his shoulder and send him plunging into the sea below.
The wrestler froze.
He suddenly felt like he had made a bad deal.
The reason was simple—Garp had gotten stronger, making him harder to throw.
What used to cost only 1 million to toss Garp now required at least 1.5 million.
But... business was about integrity. Since he had been paid for ten throws, he had to complete all ten.
"Ugh... what a loss."
With a sigh, the wrestler charged at Garp again, just as the Marine hero was erging from the water, and threw him over his shoulder once more.
—
Up in the air, Ikki pulled out his cara and leisurely began recording.
This was a historic mont—future Marine legends being humiliated like this? It had to be docunted.
Last ti, he hadn’t gotten a recording, but this ti, he wouldn’t miss it.
As he fild, Ikki glanced toward the direction Kaido had left.
The yacht was incredibly fast. By the ti the wrestler had thrown Garp for the seventh ti, the ship had already vanished beyond the horizon. It was unlikely a Marine warship would be able to catch up now.
—
"BASTARD...!"
Garp roared in frustration.
He had trained for so long. By now, even Fleet Admiral Kong himself wouldn’t be able to throw him. And yet, this little thing kept slamming him into the ground over and over again.
But no matter how much the wrestler regretted his loss, business was business.
Only two throws remained.
At that mont, a Marine warship approached rapidly—Sengoku had arrived.
Seeing this, Ikki knew it was ti to go.
Just as the wrestler was about to throw Garp for the eighth ti, Ikki interrupted.
"Wrestler, retreat! Forget the last two throws!"
"Hey... I’m not refunding your money!"
Ikki: ...
"Fine! Whatever, just leave!"
Hearing this, the wrestler imdiately returned to Ikki without another word.
Ikki stored him away in his space ring, then activated the Rabbit Talisman, speeding off at high velocity.
Garp, of course, attempted to pursue—but just like last ti, he missed his chance.
"BASTARD... Looks like I need to keep training!"
He clenched his fists, vowing to strengthen his waist even further.
Sengoku watched as Ikki and Ace disappeared into the distance. With a sigh, he muttered to himself, "I wonder when we’ll cross paths again..."
Then, turning to his n, he ordered, "Issue a bounty! 100 million beri per person!"
One of the Marines hesitated before responding awkwardly, "Uh... Vice Admiral Sengoku... We didn’t manage to capture them, and we don’t have any pictures..."
"Then draw them by hand!"
As he spoke, Sengoku suddenly rembered sothing.
"Oh... and add a bounty for that strong soldier nad Kaido—70 million beri!"
"Yes, sir!"
