Selling Pokémon from Pirates

Chapter 203 The Navy Wins

How strong is Garp?

Even Whitebeard, who was of the same era as Garp, could not give an accurate answer to this question.

In Whitebeard's impression...

When he was still a cadre of the Rocks Pirates, Garp had already joined forces with Roger to defeat Captain Rocks, whom they regarded as invincible in the world, in the Valley of the Gods, crushing their Rocks Pirates to dominate the world.

ambition.

From then on, Whitebeard began his own life trajectory.

Not to mention how law-abiding he was, but during the journey to collect his son, Whitebeard rarely committed any crimes, so he didn't have much to do with Garp.

Originally, he thought that Garp, like himself before, had become a remnant of the old era.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's strength has not diminished at all due to age, but has actually improved slightly!

"What a terrible monster!"

Whitebeard looked at his sons who were focusing on the big screen, and couldn't help but sigh again.

At this time, he did not notice that among the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates, there was a pair of gloomy eyes, staring closely at Ai on the big screen in front of him with extremely greedy eyes.

Si and Charizard.

"The power of Pokémon can actually reach this level..."

Blackbeard secretly smacked his tongue, and his despairing attitude because Whitebeard regained his youth instantly became active again.

…

…

at the same time.

The entire Tianjin Island instantly became silent under the power of Garp's punch.

Even with the protective shield created by Lin Luo, they were still frightened by the power displayed by Garp!

At this moment, let alone Johnny, Joseph and other people at the bottom of the sea.

Even Crocodile and Doflamingo, two guys who have seen the world, feel an extremely strange emotion from the bottom of their hearts.

That is caused by the fear that occurs involuntarily in the body when a weak person faces a strong person!

For the two of them, who are only at level 60-70, Garp's terrifying power is obviously too much!

But just when Crocodile and others thought that Ace was about to fail, a blazing fire suddenly appeared from high in the sky!

"What is that?"

Some people's attention was instantly attracted.

From the fireball high in the sky, Ace's high-pitched roar suddenly came:

"Fire Dragon - Dive!!!"

boom!!!

The fire in the sky expanded rapidly, blocking the bright sun hanging high in the sky in the blink of an eye, and like a falling sun, it rushed towards the ring!

Although due to the protective cover, the audience at the scene could not feel the whistling airflow outside and the scorching high temperature that could cook people to death.

But even just looking at the vast firelight gave them the illusion that their whole bodies were being burned by flames!

"Isn't it?! That boy actually still has the strength to fight!?"

Seeing the huge fireball falling from the sky, even the dragon showed an expression of disbelief. He couldn't believe that Ace could withstand his old man's full blow.

But just when everyone was in shock, the huge fireball had already landed in the sky above the arena, and with the power of the flames, it rushed towards Garp.

In front of the huge fireball with a diameter of nearly a hundred meters, Garp's body was like a tiny ant.

However, no one, including Ace, would think that Garp was an ant.

Even Ace, who was attacking again, was already ready to fly into the sky again.

Prepared to fail, he shouted:

"Come on, old man! Let me see your power again!"

However……

Facing the huge fireball bombarding him, Garp, who was standing on the ring, suddenly retracted his momentum, revealing a posture full of flaws.

That way is just like saying: My body has lost strength due to the attack just now, so just hit me as hard as you can.

But the inexplicable smile of relief on Garp's face showed that this was not the case.

"Hey! Ace!..."

Suddenly, Garp shouted loudly to the sky.

The voice was full of energy and instantly penetrated the blazing flames before reaching Ace's ears.

"Um!?"

Ace, who was concentrating on concentrating the power of the flames and preparing to strike with all his strength, frowned slightly and made a confused sound.

At this time, Garp below shouted again:

"Ace—do you remember the conversation in the restaurant before?"

Ace looked confused, but still responded loudly:

"Restaurant conversation? Is it about which is better, apple pie or pineapple pie!?"

"…………"

"Brat, of course not!"

The sudden drop in temperature suddenly ignited the naval cloak of justice behind Garp, but Garp ignored it and allowed the flames to burn his body while shouting loudly:

"Remember!"

"Wait until you win the championship! Show your prize... to me!"

"What!?" Ace was shocked!

The next second...

boom!!!!!!!

A huge fireball suddenly came and hit the spot where Garp was just now.

The resistance that Ace expected did not appear. Combined with Garp's state, he instantly realized something in his heart.

In an instant, Ace's face changed drastically.

All the flame power that he and Charizard had condensed erupted and exploded at this moment, immediately covering the entire arena.

But Garp, who was hit by the power of the flames, was now swallowed up by the flames and disappeared.

"...This old man..."

Ace and Charizard, whose bodies were still spewing flames, landed on the ground.

Without the slightest delay, the domineering energy instantly covered the center of the flame...

However, they found that where Garp was just now, an old man whose whole body was burned and who had passed out was lying quietly on the marble-like floor.

For a moment, Ace's eyes were filled with shock.

"What's going on!?"

Ace asked himself in his mind.

He didn't understand why Karp would suddenly give up the game at this time.

He didn't believe that the punch just now exhausted all the strength of Garp's body.

Those terrible acting skills were able to sidestep Luffy, a stupid boy. Even the audience in front of the screen would not think that Garp was defeated by him because he lost his strength.

"What the hell is going on?"

At this moment, Ace and Charizard looked confused.

They stood there, not knowing what to do for a moment...

On the contrary, Haoli, who had been fighting for a long time, suddenly split the flame barrier in front of him with a palm, entered the sea of ​​​​fire, rescued Garp who seemed to be unconscious, and then made a surrender gesture toward the rostrum.

.

At the same time, it also announced that the first game of the semi-finals had officially ended.

And the winner is none other than Ace, who has never been favored by everyone before.

The direction of the entire game can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations.

I thought that Garp, who was famous and powerful on the sea, would undisputedly win the championship of this Pokémon League Tournament.

And the strength he just showed is enough to deserve the honor of [Champion]!

Who would have thought that at the last moment, this navy with a kind and honest face would choose to end the game in this way.

This puzzled many people present.

It can only be said that it's a good thing that no one dared to build a casino on Tenjin Island, otherwise the result of this game alone would cause chaos in the scene instantly.

However……

There are no casinos on Tenjin Island, but that doesn’t mean there are no casinos outside of Tenjin Island.

Because of the live broadcast of the Pokémon League Tournament around the world, almost all casinos around the world have placed bets on the outcome of the game.

Of course, such a high-profile battle between Garp and Ace is indispensable!

But just when the gamblers in the casinos were looking desperate because of Garp's defeat, a group of people had secretly come to major casinos to place bets on Ace's victory.

In the end, they made a lot of money with extremely high odds, and then disappeared quickly.

…

…

Malinvandor, Office of the Grand Admiral.

"Hmm... um... I understand. Don't worry about anything that happens on the way, just come back as soon as possible."

Snap.

Warring States put down the phone in excitement, with an excited look on his face, his eyes flashed, and then he immediately looked at Lieutenant General He who had a similar expression to his.

With just one look, He immediately knew what Warring States wanted to say.

She immediately sorted out the documents in front of her and immediately began to report:

"Including the income just reported by Major General Karl, this time we harvested a total of 20 billion beli... 5 billion more than planned!!!"

"There are already 20 billion beli!?"

A look of surprise suddenly flashed across Warring States' eyes, and then he looked at the confused Qing Pheasant aside and said:

"Aoji, please check the system mall carefully in the past two days. Once the Pokémon League Conference is over, we will immediately contact the dimensional merchants to conduct transactions."

"With these 20 billion Baileys, I believe that the strength of the special combat department will definitely be able to reach a higher level!"

"This way, when the final battle comes, we will have more confidence!"

"Ah...this...Marshal of the Warring States Period..."

Upon hearing Sengoku's words, Aoki's face suddenly showed an extremely complicated expression.

He also just found out...

It turns out that during the Warring States Period, Crane already knew the outcome of the battle before it started.

And what’s even more surprising is…

Warring States and Crane, two high-ranking naval officials with high moral standing among the navy, had already asked their cronies to take money to major casinos and gambling cities around the world.

The purpose is to make a lot of money by betting on this fake match in Karp!!!

Although Aokiji has no objection to this unjust method, seeing the senior navy officers who have always taken it as their duty to protect justice did such a thing for Bailey...

This made Aokiji, who had always regarded them as idols, worry about whether they would embark on a road of no return in order to earn points in the future.

It's really worrying...

…

As if seeing the doubts in Qingzhi's heart, He suddenly smiled, but his wrinkled face exuded a sense of peace.

"Don't worry, this is not what Warring States and I proposed to let Garp go to fight the match-fixing."

Seeing Qing Pheasant looking over, Crane immediately answered calmly:

"Before he went to participate in the competition, Garp had already intended to lose to that little guy named Ace..."

"It's just that I finally made the decision a few days ago!"

"That's why we came up with such special means."

"We are just using the answers we know in advance to earn some deserved rewards."

"ah?"

Qing Pheasant was stunned.

Although he was filled with doubts, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Not bad, not bad.

These seniors he has always looked up to have not reached the point where they will do anything for money and points.

If Lieutenant General Garp planned to admit defeat from the beginning, using the known information to make some money would not be considered a failure.

only……

Qingzhi raised his head, focused his gaze on the big screen, and asked secretly in confusion:

"Lieutenant General Garp, why did he deliberately lose to that Ace!?"

"Just because he is Garp's grandson? But what's the point of that?"

A hint of doubt suddenly appeared in Qing Zhi's heart.

At the same time, the same doubts also appeared in the hearts of people around the world who were paying attention to the Pokémon League Conference.

…

…

All over the world.

Seeing Ace being announced as the winner of this battle by Meow Meow, and then returning to the lounge to prepare for the finals, all the audience's faces suddenly showed confusion.

They really couldn't figure it out and didn't understand why Karp chose to give up the game at this time.

Regarding the result of this game, there was an instant uproar around the world.

So much so that the next semi-final match between Nami and Zoro lost most of their attention.

Mainly because after witnessing Ace and Garp's level of battle, even though Nami and Zoro were already as powerful as the Shichibukai, they still couldn't make waves in the hearts of the audience.

…

…

On the arena.

Zoro, holding the twin scabbards in the bonded evolved form, suddenly turned into a sharp bolt of lightning, charging towards Nami at extremely fast speeds!

With that swift glance, even Pikachu, a player good at speed attacks, couldn't perfectly control Zoro's figure.

The Electric Orb only made Pikachu's attack power reach a level infinitely close to level 70, but its other attributes were still not as good as Zoro's, who had grown many times in battles.

Not to mention that Nami, including the power of lightning in her body, will only reach level 50 as an "ordinary person".

The power of the railgun is great, but if it can't hit anyone all the time, it means nothing.

Finally, after Zoro understood the meaning of a lightning sword, he withstood Pikachu's attack and knocked Nami unconscious with the back of the sword. He immediately combined the two scabbards and fought hard to finish off Pikachu.

An attack comparable to a level 70 level still caused Zoro a lot of trouble.

If he hadn't been strong-willed enough to endure the pain and attack, he might have lost to Pikachu who had the Electric Orb.

So far.

The semi-finals of the Pokémon League Tournament have officially come to an end!

Because the winning group and the defeated group had different lounges, Ace still didn't understand why Garp suddenly gave up fighting him until the finals came.

Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, the one-day break between the semifinals and the finals has ended.

And the day of the Pokémon League Finals, which made everyone extremely excited, has finally arrived!

The audience in the auditorium had already arrived at the venue in advance.

Everyone sat in their seats and began to discuss heatedly.

The atmosphere is full!

These viewers are not debating who will win the championship of this conference, but they are guessing what kind of rewards the dimensional businessman Lin Luo has prepared for the four contestants!

After all, as long as there are no more match-fixings, the results are unlikely to change.

The outcome of today's competition, including the winners of the championship, runner-up, third runner-up, and third place, has already been decided.

…

…

"Ahem..."

Soon, the loudspeaker Rotom in the sky suddenly sounded a meowing sound of coughing.

In an instant, the scene suddenly became quiet.

"Good morning everyone!"

The sound of meow came from the loudspeaker of the stereo:

"This is the Pokémon League Tournament Finals!"

“Everyone is welcome to come and watch this game!”

"So without further ado, let's get straight to the point!"

"Invite contestants to participate in today's finals - the third place competition..."

"Nami! And Monkey D. Garp!!!"

Boom boom boom boom!!!!!!

Deafening salutes and fireworks turned the entire sky into colorful colors.

Meow Meow still adheres to the hosting style of being simple, quick and straight to the point.

Among the colorful ribbons in the sky, the figures of Garp and Nami slowly rose from the ground of the ring and appeared in the eyes of the world.

But at this moment, Musashi on the podium suddenly picked up the microphone and cheered again with the help of the passionate atmosphere:

"Okay! The two players look ready and can't wait to present a wonderful showdown to everyone present."

"but……"

"Before the battle begins, there is one more important thing!!!"

Musashi pointed in the air and stretched his hand to the high platform above the rostrum.

I didn't know when, but there was a suspended high platform there.

And on the high platform, two elegant figures were letting the breeze blow, and their fighting power was there.

Musashi continued:

"Presumably everyone is familiar with these two figures, right?"

"Then let us use our warmest applause to invite the special guests of this Pokémon League Conference Finals..."

"They are, respectively, the owner of Tianshen Gym - Anilu!!!"

"And the organizer of this conference..."

"Dimensional businessman from the Ten Thousand Realms Chamber of Commerce—Master Lin Luo!!!!!!"
