Chapter 1523: The Angry Steel Bone Kong!
By all rights, Kaido should have been completely annihilated long ago, not even bones left, turned to ash and smoke in the torrent of energy.
But now, he had only lost an arm, his entire body's bones were shattered, and he had completely lost consciousness and fallen into a coma.
This kind of injury looks very serious, and for most people, it can be called a fatal injury.
But for Kaido, as long as he receives good treatment and enough food, he can recover in two or three days at most, just by lying in bed.
That's why Garp was so shocked.
Could it be that Boros held back?
No, that's not right. The power just now was clearly serious!
But regardless, now was not the time to dwell on it.
Garp then immediately threw Kaido to Sengoku, who was not far away: "Go quickly!"
"Watch out!"
Sengoku, in his Golden Buddha form, caught him and turned to leave without a second word.
Boros across from him did not stop them.
He just shifted his slightly doubtful gaze from Kaido to Garp.
"He could actually survive. I am very surprised, but I am also very happy."
"Happy about what?"
Garp casually replied while stretching his body.
He was also full of anticipation for the upcoming battle.
"Happy that I still have a chance to subdue Kaido, take him to conquer the universe, and search for the prophesied planet," Boros said softly.
"Puhahaha!"
After hearing that, Garp threw his head back and burst into laughter: "So that's it, you want to take that kid to be a space pirate!"
"Then you've come too late. The old him might have agreed, but the current him definitely won't think much of you!"
Boros nodded: "Kaido did indeed refuse before, saying something like, 'How can a mere universe compare to the multiverse?' Can you tell me what the multiverse is, and your identity?"
"What the multiverse is, you will know after we finish fighting. As for this old man..."
At this point, Garp's expression became serious, and he solemnly introduced himself:
"One of the members of the World Government's Martial God Hall, Four Seas Iron Fist Martial God, Monkey D. Garp, specifically came by order of Lord Imu to suppress you, Boros, the leader of the Dark Matter Pirates!"
"Lord Imu... So there are even stronger experts above you?"
Boros keenly detected the keywords.
Garp nodded and admitted: "Of course, Lord Imu is the ruler of the World Government, more than a hundred times stronger than this old man!"
But Boros wasn't quite convinced.
The energy of this person in front of him was clearly no less than his current self.
To be another hundred times stronger on top of this would be too outrageous.
So he instinctively believed Garp was exaggerating.
That Imu might really be stronger than the other party, but wouldn't be strong to this extent.
However, being able to have stronger experts was a good thing.
Now Boros acknowledged the designation 'Treasure Star System'.
So many experts were indeed a great treasure, but whether or not it was the 'Prophesied Planet' remained to be seen.
"Then let's begin."
Although Boros was a little curious about Garp knowing his identity and name.
But he was already impatient for battle.
"Although you are a pirate bastard, this old man acknowledges your fighting intent. Come!"
Garp was similarly eager for battle and didn't want to say any more.
On the vast and boundless lunar wasteland, under the endless cosmos, the two people looked at each other for three seconds, separated by a distance of nearly a hundred meters.
[BOOM!]
[BOOM!]
The two people exploded into action almost simultaneously.
The former transformed into a meteor of purple with blue, wrapped in electric flashes, while the latter transformed into a deep gray light flickering with silver light.
The huge kinetic energy instantly shattered, dented, and cracked the ground.
The next instant, the two clashed together.
Boros's fist and Garp's fist heavily collided at the center.
Instantly.
Circle after circle of visible ripples unleashed outwards.
Surging white air currents exploded on the spot, and crackling lightning shot out in all directions.
In an instant.
Like suffering the impact of an extraterrestrial meteorite, the aftermath impact swept across an area of more than ten kilometers.
The grayish-white earth was forcibly torn open into strips of dark rifts.
A tornado gale with a wind force level of at least 10 or higher, hundreds of meters in height, even more wildly rose upwards.
[Bang bang bang bang bang bang...]
In the gale, Boros and Garp fiercely exchanged blows in lightning-like movement.
Every punch of the former was full of ferocity, every strike contained terrifying power enough to seriously injure Admiral-level combat power and instantly kill Vice Admiral-level combat power.
The latter similarly showed no weakness. Under the enhancement of Armament Haki, every punch could hit the ground and cause air vibration, forming dense fist prints and unleashing surging air currents like a wave.
The frantic clash between countless fist shadows stirred up wave after wave of extremely fierce, rapid, earth-shattering rumble.
The two people, in the blink of an eye, constantly changed offense and defense, mutually probing each other's strength.
At the same time, under Garp's intentional guidance, the battlefield rapidly moved away from Marine Headquarters, gradually shifting towards the other side of the moon.
And this also caused the moon's surface along the way to suffer large-scale destruction.
Carving out ravines hundreds, or even thousands, of meters long.
Two small figures could actually create countless clearly visible 'scars' on this celestial body.
And this battle had just begun!
Within the world.
The high-ranking officials of the World Government were all paying attention to the commotion on the moon.
The Five Elders in the Room of Authority, Saint Garling of the Holy Knights, Kong of the Command Department, Zephyr of the Military and Political Department, Redfield of Cipher Pol, Dragon of the Ministry of Police Affairs, Columbus of Impel Down, etc.
At this moment, they all wore a solemn and serious appearance.
Because the combat power displayed by Garp and Boros had already greatly exceeded the scope they could personally handle.
Just like the defeated Kaido and the retreating Sengoku.
If they were at the scene, they actually couldn't really intervene either.
Within the same level, even if there are differences in strength, they can still resist by relying on numbers.
But if it's different levels, the role numbers can play will be very small.
Especially since both Garp and Boros belong to the category of hexagonal warriors with high attack, high defense, high agility, high speed, high energy, and even high perception and high self-healing ability.
"Minister Kong, Garp appears unable to defeat the opponent in a short time, and if this continues, the moon will have difficulty withstanding it."
In the Military and Political Department minister's office, Zephyr said towards the virtual screen in mid-air.
"What ideas do you have?" Kong across from him casually asked.
Zephyr said: "As usual, two against one, quickly solve the invader."
Kong shook his head: "Then it depends on Lord Imu's will. We don't have the qualification to order these Martial God Star Gods."
"I'll go!"
Zephyr stood up from his chair, his tone firm.
"..."
Kong's speechless gaze shifted from the moon screen feed to the screen where Zephyr was.
For a moment, he didn't quite know how to reply.
"Cough cough, you should still sit down."
At the same time, Kong muttered inwardly:
"Marine Headquarters doesn't lack Admiral-level combat power. It wouldn't even be your turn, Zephyr! You're not young anymore, how can you still get so worked up?"
"I know what you mean, but I am indeed confident in helping Garp, and incidentally, show off my recent training results..."
After speaking, Zephyr didn't even wait for Kong's agreement and immediately walked out of the range of the virtual screen.
Of course, as the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, he was the same rank as the Commander-in-Chief.
Therefore, he also didn't need Kong to agree or oppose.
But what Kong cared about was not this, but the safety of Zephyr, this old subordinate.
Kong abruptly stood up and yelled urgently towards the empty small screen:
"Zephyr! Zephyr! What are you doing?! Come back!"
However, there was no response, which made Kong's expression turn ashen, and he kept cursing.
"Nonsense! Nonsense! Aren't you looking for death?!"
"Your wings have really hardened, huh? You don't even listen to this old man's words anymore!"
But the movements in his hands were very quick.
He immediately picked up the handset of a Den Den Mushi on the corner of the desk and began constantly turning the dial on its body.
"Hello!"
"This is the Command Department!"
"Wait until your Fleet Admiral Sengoku returns, you tell him, no matter what method is used, he must stop Zephyr from approaching Garp and Boros's battlefield!"
"What? Who am I? This old man is Steel Bone Kong!"
Minister Kong's roar penetrated the door and wall, echoing throughout the entire Command Department office building.
