One Piece: Creating Avatars Start With Ryomen Sukuna

Chapter 355: Secret Technique 108: Eight Wine Cups

"AAAAHHHH…"

At that moment, Iori Yagami let out another wild scream in front of Garp. His body tilted slightly, his foot slamming into the ground with force, and he erupted with jaw-dropping speed.

Like a streak of light, he appeared before Garp in an instant.

Facing such speed from Iori Yagami,

Garp's expression was grave. His powerful Armament Haki hardened and wrapped around his hands.

Then he began an intense clash with Iori Yagami.

Bang bang bang!

The deafening sound of flesh striking flesh rang through the sky.

The air seemed to explode.

Terrifying shockwaves rolled outward in waves.

The sea surged with layer upon layer of waves rolling into the distance, while the coastal vegetation bent and tilted.

Sand and gravel swirled into the air, forming a small tornado around the two combatants, an utterly spectacular sight.

So strong! So incredible!!

The amateur paparazzi in the forest witnessing this fierce showdown between Garp and Iori Yagami weren't strong themselves, but the sheer commotion of this battle was undeniably impressive. Lacking eloquent words, they could only inwardly shout "Amazing!" and "Monster!"

At the center of the fight, As Garp clashed with Iori Yagami, he remained cautious to use Armament Haki on any part of his body that made contact.

This way, that strange power of his opponent couldn't affect him too much through the Haki.

Even so, that eerie force still caused his Haki flow to stutter intermittently, preventing him from effectively using advanced Armament Haki techniques.

At the very least, he couldn't use the internal destruction technique as it required smooth, precise Haki control.

In his current state, precision was out of the question.

Though internal destruction was off the table, Garp could still project his Haki outward, a much wilder technique by comparison.

Boom!

With a violent explosion.

Relying on his superior strength and Haki, Garp sent Iori Yagami flying.

In midair, Iori Yagami quickly adjusted his stance.

Crack!

The air itself burst as he used it like a surface to push off, launching himself back toward Garp with ferocious attacks.

This berserk state massively boosted Iori Yagami's attack power and speed.

Of course, it came with drawbacks.

His defense dropped, and the strain on his body was immense. Normally, he couldn't sustain it for long.

But with the healing properties of Yasakani no Magatama, these downsides were greatly mitigated.

"Hahaha! You're one tough kid!"

Garp laughed heartily as he watched Iori Yagami charge back at him. The opponent's wild fighting style was exhilarating to face.

The last time he fought Bullet, that guy had turned into a prickly hedgehog with his explosive abilities. Now, this fist-to-fist combat reignited Garp's bloodlust.

Boom boom boom…

The two continued their relentless battle.

Iori Yagami's ancient martial arts clashed with Garp's physical techniques.

After nearly ten minutes of fighting,

"Haha, punk, try this!"

Garp laughed as he got serious and used his Conqueror's Haki Coating.

Terrifying Conqueror's Haki wrapped around his fist, lightning crackling around it as the air trembled.

He raised a fist and swung it horizontally at Iori Yagami.

Facing such an attack, Iori Yagami used Style 100: Oniyaki, leaping with flames, only for Garp to shatter it with a single blow.

Following the Oniyaki came a storm of purple flames.

Seeing the purple flames closing in, Garp didn't dare get careless. He diverted some focus to coat his entire body in Armament Haki.

He didn't want to get hit by those flames, if he got caught off guard like the first time and had his Armament Haki sealed again, it'd be trouble.

Boom!

After two clever distractions from Iori Yagami, Garp's Conqueror's Haki still sent him flying.

The sand and underlying rock of the beach erupted, and a terrifying cylindrical shockwave shot straight into the sea, parting it. The entire island began to tremble slightly.

The island's residents felt as though an earthquake had struck. The ground had been shaking for a while, scaring them out of their homes, and now the tremors were even more pronounced.

They also realized more clearly that this was a man-made disaster.

At the ports, many saw the shockwave glowing faintly white as it stretched into the sea from the other side of the island.

The sight of the sea parting and the resulting waves left countless people dumbfounded.

At the battle site of Iori Yagami and Garp,

The paparazzi still lingering in the nearby forest shrank back as they witnessed the terrifying spectacle of the sea being split.

"Terrifying! Is this what top-tier power looks like? Are they even human?!"

One of the paparazzi couldn't help but exclaim.

The others nodded in agreement. That fearsome power inspired both awe and longing.

If only they could have such strength.

"Is the Lone Purple Iori Yagami still alive? Getting hit by that kind of power can't feel good!"

"I don't know! You saw how terrifying he was earlier, that kind of monster wouldn't go down so easily, right?"

One paparazzi felt uneasy. Iori Yagami's fearsome form earlier had left a shadow in his mind, he didn't think the guy would lose so simply.

Regardless of the paparazzi's discussions, the dust from the shockwave gradually settled at the scene.

Garp looked through the dissipating dust and saw Iori Yagami standing on the sand, panting slightly. With Garp's eyesight and Observation Haki, he could tell the guy hadn't taken much damage.

He clicked his tongue lightly—talk about durability! But how long could he maintain this state?

It was clearly an explosive burst mode. Logically, it shouldn't last long. Yet this guy showed no signs of slowing down.

What a terrifying ability!

With that thought, Garp kicked off the ground, launching himself at Iori Yagami again.

If one hit couldn't take him down, he'd just hit him again!

As Garp charged forward, Iori Yagami stood still, unmoving.

Just as Garp reached him and raised his fist again, his Observation Haki flared with a warning.

In that instant, a purple flame flared in Iori Yagami's right palm, burning fiercely and beautifully.

But behind that beauty lurked immense danger.

This was a move Iori Yagami had been charging up internally, infused with the power of Yasakani no Magatama and his blue flames.

Now that Garp was right in front of him, Iori Yagami unleashed it.

"Secret Technique 108: Eight Wine Cups"

Boom!

Even though Garp sensed the danger and tried to retreat, the terrifying blue flames seemed to transcend space, transforming into a purple pillar of light that engulfed Garp entirely.

Boom boom boom…

What was that?!

A pillar of fire shot into the sky, its purple glow illuminating the land, drawing the eyes of everyone on the island as they looked toward it.

At the same time, they, and Garp himself, were left questioning.

Damn it! What kind of ability was this?!

Garp felt his Armament Haki being infiltrated by the highly invasive purple flames.

Then, to his frustration, his entire body was saturated by the blue flames.

The pillar lasted only three seconds before dissipating, revealing Garp in Iori Yagami's line of sight.

The old man stood motionless, his body emitting an eerie purple glow.

He, Garp, had his bodily perception of time stopped.
