Chapter 1066
**Chapter 1053: Iron Fist and Whitebeard!**
【Boom!!!】
A tremendous roar, piercing the clouds and shattering the void, suddenly erupted from the center of the island before their eyes.
Moments later, a gale formed by the air vibration swept across the entire island.
It eventually spread outwards, instantly turning the previously calm sea surface into surging waves.
A Marine Warship, adorned with a dog head and moored by the dock, swayed violently in the strong wind and waves.
But the Marines standing guard on the deck remained remarkably calm about the situation.
They merely held down their Marine Caps, letting the strong wind rush past them.
"It's started again. I wonder if Admiral Garp won today?"
"Hehe, well, judging by what the people inside said, Admiral Garp had a sour face the day before yesterday~"
"Hahahaha, then I hope he's happier today! Maybe he'll catch us a Sea King for extra food!"
Other Marines would definitely address Garp with the honorific Iron Fist Admiral Garp.
But the Marines on this Dog Head Battleship were already used to calling him Vice Admiral Garp.
So even after Garp became an Admiral, they simply changed it to Admiral Garp.
Garp himself didn't mind and actually preferred this more familiar address.
Just as this group, who appeared to be grassroots level Marine soldiers but exuded a fierce aura, were chatting and laughing, even daring to tease the Officers.
A tall figure, also wearing a pure white Coat of Justice draped over his shoulders, a grey cap on his head, and a green-sheathed Long Saber at his waist, walked out of the cabin without a word.
"Vice Admiral Bogard!"
"Vice Admiral Bogard!"
Seeing him, the Marines of all ranks on the deck immediately stood at attention, losing their previous casual flippancy.
"An Order has come from Headquarters. Prepare to return."
Bogart left his instructions in a calm tone.
He then instantly vanished from the spot, leaving only a rapid whistling sound.
The Marines exchanged glances, and the next second, they quickly sprang into action.
They swiftly began checking the hull, sails, Log Pose, Den Den Mushi, cannons, ammunition, freshwater, food, and so on.
Crucially, every single person displayed superhuman speed, reaction, and agility.
One person even easily jumped onto the mast dozens of meters high, loosening the sails that had been secured and tied down earlier.
"Meat reserves aren't enough!"
"Alright, we'll go catch some Sea Beasts!"
As soon as the words fell, over a dozen figures, holding harpoons, jumped into the water one after another and swam quickly towards the deep sea.
Sphinx Island Center.
Inside the Royal Palace of the current Whitebeard Kingdom.
There was an open ground area roughly the size of two football fields.
At this moment, this vast open ground was enveloped by a rectangular, three-dimensional gravity domain filled with purple light.
And within this purple gravity domain, Garp, whose body size was merely two and a half meters, was fiercely battling Newgate, who was nearly seven meters tall and resembled a giant.
Both chose to clash head-on, without any evasion.
Their violent fists and arms turned into dense afterimages, raining down madly upon each other.
With every collision of fist against fist.
The suppressed air around them vibrated with painful trembling.
The continuous rumble was comparable to the cluster bombardment of cannons.
They had been fighting fiercely for nearly eight hours.
The scalding hot blood made their body temperature like a stove, evaporating their profuse sweat and forming rising wisps of steam on their skin.
Their bare chests were covered in bruises, rising and falling sharply with the rhythm of their heavy breaths.
As for why just eight hours of fierce battle could leave these two men, capable of contending for the Strongest Epithet below Im, in such a state of suffering.
It was mainly because the purple gravity domain they were in contained a gravity field ten times that of the outside world.
In recent years, even though Garp and Newgate haven't participated much in the World Government's external war.
Neither of them had relaxed their training of their own strength.
The training program wasn't complicated.
It was simply fighting each other at full strength in this ten-times gravity domain.
Of course, Newgate was prohibited from using his Tremor-Tremor Fruit Ability.
It wasn't that Garp was afraid of him; it was mainly because the Tremor-Tremor Fruit Ability could easily spread out and damage the surrounding gravity generating equipment.
Such high-intensity and prolonged persistence naturally brought them rich rewards.
Initially, Garp would feel quite fatigued after simply running two hundred laps or doing two thousand push-ups under ten times gravity.
But now, he and Newgate could move and fight like 'normal humans'.
Both their physique and will had significantly improved during this process.
Their Haki also became stronger accordingly.
【Buzz----】
A moment later, the set time expired, and the gravity generating equipment placed on all sides simultaneously stopped projecting purple light, causing the open ground to quickly recover its usual light.
"Puhahahaha, this old man had the upper hand today!"
Garp, steaming all over, immediately threw his head back and laughed loudly.
"Gurahahaahaha!"
But who knew that Newgate on the opposite side also laughed along:
"You just hit me a couple more times, consider it letting you win a round!"
Although he said that, he could also feel it.
That bastard Garp's Haki was indeed a bit stronger than his own.
If they were fighting seriously for a win.
He knew that if he didn't use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit Ability, his chances of winning would definitely not be very high.
At the same time, Newgate sighed inwardly. There was a time when they were in an adversarial relationship, one a Marine Hero, the other the Strongest Pirate.
But in less than five years, they could actually stay together harmoniously and spar.
The changes in the entire world were truly too wondrous.
"Hmph, Whitebeard, you're just being stubborn. These days, you've taken quite a few of this old man's fists!"
Garp grinned broadly, revealing two rows of pearly white teeth.
He conveniently picked up a towel that had been prepared on the rack and wiped off the scalding sweat on his body.
"Gurahahaahaha, then tomorrow we'll go find a deserted island and have a good fight! Let's see if that bastard's fist can land on me!"
Newgate laughed heartily and boldly.
He realized he should let Garp experience the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit Ability again.
"Alright, after training in the gravity field for so long, I do need to adapt to the changes in my body."
Garp readily agreed.
"Old Man!"
Just then, Izo walked over quickly, holding a calling Den Den Mushi in his hand.
"It's the Command Department's call!"
Newgate nodded, picked up the handset from the Den Den Mushi, and answered.
Not far away, Garp drank water in large gulps while curiously paying attention to this side.
"A Challenge from Madara Uchiha?"
"Isn't the Strongest in the Ninja World that Hashirama Senju, known as the God of Shinobi? And I heard Garp say he was defeated by the kid Aokiji."
"Then this Madara Uchiha isn't even weaker? No interest, hmm, this old man has no interest."
Edward Newgate waved his hand and refused, clearly having no interest in the Command Department's invitation.
Soon, the call ended.
Garp asked curiously, "What Challenge from Madara Uchiha?"
Newgate didn't care either.
He casually repeated what Kong the Steel Bone had said on the Den Den Mushi.
"So that's it. But don't underestimate Kuzan."
Garp nodded, but immediately spoke up for his disciple.
"The Natural Energy Kuzan has cultivated in recent years has significantly strengthened the power of his Ice-Ice Fruit. Even the me from five years ago might not have been able to break free from his current ice."
Newgate didn't argue with him, laughing, "Then you take on this Challenge from Madara Uchiha. Anyway, he said he wants to challenge the Strongest Admiral, and I'm just an Honorary Admiral. I'll go watch then."
"That won't work. In a few days, I have to fight that kid Bullet again, hmm, the last fight!"
Garp looked up at the clear blue sky, a look of eagerness on his face.
"That kid is also a pity. He ate a Devil Fruit that isn't very useful for strength. Even if he had eaten a Common Species Zoan Fruit, he might have caught up to us by now..."
Newgate commented lightly.
