Chapter 365: Iron Fist Garp!
Chapter 365: Iron Fist Garp!
On the rolling waves of the vast ocean, a small boat sped towards the Marine Headquarters.
Feng Ye stood at the bow, cloaked in a white overcoat, his silver hair billowing in the wind. He stood there casually, his hands behind his back, gazing at the Marine Headquarters before him as if admiring a scenic view.
"This is... the Marine Headquarters..."
Standing behind Feng Ye, Robin looked at the massive fortress ahead, feeling a sense of suffocation and oppression.
She had heard of the Marine Headquarters, but this was her first time laying eyes on it. The solemn atmosphere and formidable aura made one feel awe even from a distance.
One had to admit that after experiencing the dreamlike scenery of the Shabondy Archipelago, arriving at the solemn and majestic Marine Headquarters made the impact even more stunning.
The small boat had been spotted as it approached the Marine Headquarters, but due to its speed and proximity to the headquarters, with warships surrounding the area, the chaos prevented the Marine Headquarters' cannons from being properly aimed. By the time they managed to lock on, Feng Ye's boat had already reached the shore.
The front of the Marine Headquarters' fortress featured a semicircular harbor, with towering cliffs on both sides. Aside from the pathways and stairs leading upward, the rest of the area was difficult to climb.
Moreover, the entire outer perimeter of the Marine Headquarters was surrounded by steep cliffs, making it impossible for ordinary ships to dock and board the island.
Feng Ye looked up, then said, "Let's go."
Without any noticeable emotion in his eyes, he reached out his hand to Robin.
Whoosh!
The seawater below surged upward, forming a staircase that seemed to shimmer with a bubbly surface.
Robin, feeling a mix of tension and awe as she gazed at the majestic fortress, took a small step forward and placed her hand in Feng Ye's palm. He then led her up the watery staircase.
"The seawater..."
"Is it some kind of ability?"
Up above, the Marines were already in an uproar, with many of them gathering and aiming their firearms at Feng Ye and Robin.
Upon witnessing this scene, several Marines exclaimed in surprise, their eyes fixed on Feng Ye. Some of them, ordinary soldiers, broke into a cold sweat as they knew little about Feng Ye but were all too aware of his identity.
Traveler Feng Ye!
A terrifying existence with a bounty of 15 billion and 67 million berries!
"Stop! Stop right there!"
"What are you doing here, Traveler?!"
A Marine colonel, his voice trembling, demanded an answer from Feng Ye.
Feng Ye glanced at him and offered a faint smile. "I'm here for a journey, of course..."
Journey?!
Feng Ye's words caused the nearby Marines to stiffen.
This was the Marine Headquarters!
Coming to the Marine Headquarters for a journey? No, this was clearly an invasion! Had he lost his mind?!
"Attack! Attack! Don't let him get any closer!"
Finally, a Marine rear admiral lost his patience and bellowed out orders. The nervous Marines nearby pulled their triggers simultaneously.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
Countless bullets rained towards Feng Ye and Robin, enveloping them in a storm of lead.
However, to everyone's surprise, the bullets came to a silent halt when they were just three feet away from Feng Ye, as if they had hit an invisible barrier. They then ricocheted back, following their original path.
Psh! Psh!!
Many Marines were hit by the rebounding bullets, and blood splattered.
Feng Ye remained unmoved by this, ignoring the scene as he continued to climb the watery staircase with Robin in tow. They ascended step by step until they reached the fortress of the Marine Headquarters, arriving at the large square directly in front of it.
"So, this is the plaza where the Summit War took place..."
Feng Ye couldn't help but sigh as he gazed upon the expansive plaza, large enough to accommodate a war involving a hundred thousand people.
Robin, who had been led by him, was no longer as tense and nervous as she had been at the beginning. Hearing his murmur, she paused slightly, looking at him with a hint of confusion. "Summit... War?"
She had no recollection of such a war in history.
Feng Ye turned to her and smiled gently. "That's an event that will happen in the future—a massive war that will ultimately destroy this place. But the future can be changed, and this place may disappear before that time comes."
As he finished speaking, Feng Ye looked up at the top of the fortress and raised his hand, pushing it towards both sides.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Several Marine officers who were rushing forward with swords and blades were suddenly hit by an invisible force and went flying backward.
Dozens of people became human projectiles, hurtling in all directions. Some fell into the sea, while others crashed into the buildings, leaving cracks on the surfaces.
"Guns... Gunfire is useless..."
"We can't even get close to him!"
The nearby Marines witnessing this scene couldn't help but reveal their fear. For a moment, no one dared to step forward and attack Feng Ye and Robin.
Feng Ye stopped in his tracks, and Robin tensed up as the nearby Navy members also turned to look, their eyes fixed on the billowing dust.
"The Navy Headquarters..."
"...is not a place for casual sightseeing or tourism."
A somewhat rugged voice emerged from the cloud of dust.
Immediately after, a middle-aged man with black hair, slightly graying sideburns, and a sturdy build stepped out. He wore the Navy's coat of justice, with red and black striped epaulets on his shoulders, trimmed with golden ornaments.
These epaulets belonged to only one person.
The Navy hero—
Iron Fist Garp!
"Commodore Garp!!!"
The nearby Navy members exclaimed in unison at Garp's appearance. The fear in their hearts quickly vanished, and although cold sweat still lingered on their foreheads, their expressions hardened as they glared at Feng Ye.
If Roger was the Pirate King who conquered the Grand Line, standing at the pinnacle of all pirates, then Garp, who ended the Rocks Pirates, defeated countless pirates, and chased Roger all over the seas, was the Navy's legend!
Garp's presence alone inspired unwavering belief!
Garp, standing his ground, stared at Feng Ye. He grinned, then raised his hand to loosen his collar and take off his coat of justice and outer garment, revealing a black combat vest underneath.
"Once, there was an audacious man who invaded the Navy Headquarters, but he ended up in Impel Down... If you're here to cause trouble, then this old man will have no choice but to send you to the same fate!"
Garp raised his right hand, forming a massive fist.
Regarding Feng Ye, who hadn't committed any substantial heinous acts, he didn't actually have a strong urge to capture him. But if Feng Ye intended to invade and attack the Navy Headquarters, then as a proponent of justice, he couldn't stand idly by!
"Cut the chatter, Garp!"
"Anyone who dares to come here will not be allowed to leave! Otherwise, the credibility of the entire Marineford will be lost in the eyes of the world!"
The voice of Admiral Kong, the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, rang out from behind.
He appeared behind Garp, wearing the Navy's coat of justice, and strode forward, his eyes fixed on Feng Ye with a sharp glare.
Feng Ye had dared to come to the Navy Headquarters!
It must be said that the young man before them was as arrogant and lawless as the Golden Lion Shiki, or perhaps even more so. After all, Feng Ye hadn't come to the Navy Headquarters alone; he had brought the Demon Child, Nico Robin, with him!
What did this mean?
Did he think the Navy Headquarters was a playground?!
If they truly let Feng Ye stroll through the base and leave with Nico Robin, then the Fleet Admiral, Admirals, and Commodores would all have to resign in disgrace!
"..."
Robin's eyes widened as she looked at the figures approaching from the front, her gaze shaking. If it weren't for Feng Ye's hand holding hers, providing warmth and a sense of reassurance, she might not have been able to stand her ground.
Navy hero, Iron Fist Garp!
Fleet Admiral Kong!
And from behind, Admiral Sengoku, whom Feng Ye had defeated before!
Such a formidable lineup would make even the bravest across the seas tremble!
Feng Ye didn't speak to Garp and the others; instead, he glanced at Garp and Admiral Kong before turning back to Robin.
He could sense Robin's trembling and fear, so he gave her a gentle smile and said, "It seems they won't let us tour the Navy Headquarters so easily."
"Then..."
As he finished speaking, Feng Ye released Robin's hand and took two steps forward. A black short stick appeared in his left palm, and he flicked his wrist, sending six sticks scattering around Robin, forming a hexagon.
Buzz!!!
Red light emanated from the six black sticks, intertwining and creating a hexagonal barrier that enclosed Robin within.
Hexagon Formation, Six Yang Hexagram!
After using the Six Yang Hexagram to protect Robin, Feng Ye faced Garp and Admiral Kong.
He smiled lightly and said, "Actually, I'm a man who loves peace."
