Chapter 196 Xia Chen VS Garp

Seeing this scene, most of the people watching here showed surprised expressions.

The same is true for the Navy and the World Government, although they have long known about Xia Chen's performance in the Seven Water City.

But judging from the reports at that time, Xia Chen was only slightly in the upper hand when fighting against Garp. However, based on the current situation, it seems that it is a little different from what was said before!

Whitebeard, who had been paying attention to Xia Chen's movements, also narrowed his eyes slightly. As an old rival, he was very clear about Garp's strength.

And now Xia Chen could actually beat Garp directly in a head-on confrontation, which made him sigh:

"This young man is really fierce!"

After gaining the upper hand from the first strike, Xia Chen did not give Garp a chance to breathe. He rode on his somersault cloud and instantly came above the upside-down Garp, then punched him hard again.

"Boom!"

Garp's body hit the ice hard, and the ice began to shatter in a spider web-like pattern with him as the center, spreading over an area of ​​several kilometers.

"Qingtian!"

Karp was lying in a deep pit in the ice, feeling severe pain all over his body. Suddenly he heard the voice, and without thinking, he exerted force and hid aside.

The next second after he dodged, a black stick hit heavily where he was lying.

"Fuck!"

The already cracked ice was directly pierced by this blow. All the ice within a radius of several hundred meters was shattered, revealing the sea water underneath, which then quickly spread upwards.

Xia Chen floated in the air on the somersault cloud, carrying the stick behind him, and looked down quietly.

After a while, a figure emerged from the sea, stepping on the moon step and maintaining the same height as Xia Chen, staring at him. The blood stains on his mouth showed that he had not gotten any benefit just now.

Karp stared at Xia Chen seriously, his expression a little ugly.

"How come your strength has improved so much compared to before? Were you hiding your strength at that time?"

Karp did not ask about the other possibility because that possibility was too unrealistic.

He could understand that he was hiding his strength at that time, but it was a bit exaggerated to say that he improved his strength so much in just a few days.

To improve your strength, don't you have to work hard and follow the rules? What kind of rocket are you riding?

"What do you think?"

Xia Chen smiled faintly, and then his figure disappeared again.

Garp thought to himself that something was wrong and was about to leave the spot but found that he could not move.

It took him a few tenths of a second to regain control of his body, but it was too late. Xia Chen's fist had already reached his face.

"Oh!"

Another dull blow, and Garp flew backwards again...

Xia Chen was also not idle, and rushed towards Cap again.

Although Garp's current strength is not as good as his, his body is quite tough. He can't be defeated by just a few blows just now, so he must press on and attack without giving Garp a chance to breathe...

Everyone on the battlefield watching this scene was stunned, and some navy officers even felt as if the sky had fallen.

"Ka... Mr. Kap... was beaten to the point where he had no power to fight back?"

"How is this possible? Mr. Garp is a hero of our navy. How could this happen?"

"Is Demon King Xia Chen... really that powerful? Do we... still have a chance of winning?"

"..."

The sailors spoke in horror, and one could tell from their voices that they had lost more than half of their confidence.

"Wake up, you guys!"

Suddenly, a sound like a huge bell rang in everyone's ears. Then everyone looked up at the source of the sound.

"Marshal Warring States!!!"

"It's true that Garp is a naval hero, but you also have to know that he is 76 years old. If he were an ordinary naval officer at this age, he would have retired long ago!"

"So it's not that Xia Chen is strong, it's just that Garp is old and his strength has declined. Don't be deceived by these appearances!"

"We have three generals on our side, and the officials from the government haven't made any moves yet!"

"These pirates can never be our opponents, don't be scared by what you see!"

The sound of the Warring States period was extremely loud, basically echoing throughout most of the battlefield.

Even Whitebeard on the bow of the White Whale heard it, but he smiled disdainfully.

"Zhan Guo, you are still the same! So shameless!"

Whitebeard was no longer surprised by Sengoku's behavior. Having fought with Sengoku many times, he already knew what kind of person he was.

But it must be said that Zhan Guo's words did have an immediate effect. The navy who had seemed a little desperate just now now regained their confidence.

"Your Excellency the Marshal is right. Most of our top fighters have not yet taken action!"

"Vice Admiral Garp is indeed old. I am only in my fifties and I feel that my health is not as good as before, not to mention that Vice Admiral Garp is already in his seventies, almost eighty!"

"I really overlooked Vice Admiral Garp's age before. I always thought he was still the almighty naval hero he was in his youth!"

"..."

Everyone started talking at once again, but this time the atmosphere was no longer dull like before, but full of passion.

Looking at this scene, Zhan Guo also revealed a hidden smile, but he immediately thought of something and turned his eyes to the battle between Garp and Xia Chen.

As always, Garp is already weaker than Xia Chen, and he was seriously injured by Xia Chen's many attacks at the beginning, so now he is in a very disadvantageous situation.

Xia Chen has now basically let Garp experience all of his abilities, such as the immobilization technique just now. He didn't use these things when he fought with Garp in Water Seven before.

Sengoku's eyes sank slightly. Of course, what he had just said to these navy men was all nonsense. As someone who shared the same pants and ate the same bag of senbei with Garp, he was undoubtedly the one who knew Garp's strength best.

It is true that his strength has declined with age, but the problem is that the decline in Garp's strength is very small!

Originally, Garp was a pure physical martial arts expert, and he didn't suffer many hidden injuries when he was young, so even though he is over seventy years old, his strength is not much different from when he was young.

So one can imagine how powerful Xia Chen is now that he can beat Garp like this.

But he couldn't tell the truth, otherwise his soldiers would be scared before the battle even started. How could he continue to fight?

Thinking of this, Zhan Guo became more and more wary of Xia Chen, and at the same time he made a decision in his heart.

Zhan Guo walked up to the Five Elders with moon steps, and after discussing a few words with them, he returned to the execution platform.

Then he looked down at the battlefield, scanned the area, picked up the loudspeaker Den Den Mushi and shouted:

"Everyone, the execution ceremony... will begin immediately!"
