181: Kill Karp

His already burly frame swelled once again, fueled by extreme rage and a domineering aura!

Muscles bulged like steel, and a terrifying Armament Haki, condensed to the extreme and existing purely for destruction and annihilation, dyed his fists a color deeper than the night!

"Wanton slaughter of comrades! Disobeying military discipline! Trampling justice!"

Blood tears streamed from Garp's eyes as he stared fixedly at Lin Fei on the execution platform, every word seemingly squeezed from between his teeth!

"Today, even if this old man has to sacrifice his life, I will bring you, you bastard... to justice, right here and now!!!"

"Fist of Love!!!"

Boom!!!

The ground beneath him instantly shattered as he transformed into a black afterimage, imperceptible to the naked eye, pouring all the strength honed over decades, his loyalty to the Navy, his protection of justice, and all his rage over his Disciple's death, into this single punch!

This punch transcended speed, transcended power; it was the supreme punch of this Navy hero, burning all his beliefs!

However...

Facing this legendary punch, powerful enough to move even the Four Emperors, Lin Fei remained standing, unmoving, a playful smile on his face as if watching a good show.

Because a cool and exquisitely beautiful figure, as if teleporting, appeared silently in front of him.

It was Lu Zhifei.

Her face was devoid of expression, her eyes, which saw through all things, held only a cold indifference, as if looking at a dead object.

"My brother's decision is absolute justice."

"And you, old man, is it wrong to kill deserters on the battlefield?"

Her voice was cold and emotionless.

"You go to hell too!"

The moment her words fell, she slowly raised her right hand.

Just before that seemingly slender, fair, and boneless hand made contact with Garp's iron fist, which was enveloped in destructive Haki, the grotesque runes representing the [Plunderer's Claw] quietly lit up on the back of her hand!

Rip—!!!

There was no earth-shattering collision.

Only a teeth-grinding tearing sound, like the sharpest scalpel cutting through the toughest cowhide!

Garp's island-leveling iron fist, along with the indestructible Armament Haki upon it, was effortlessly and neatly torn off at the wrist the instant it touched Lu Zhifei's seemingly delicate palm!

What was severed was not just flesh and bone.

It was also the old man's lifelong pride and belief!

"Uh..."

Garp didn't even have time to scream, because Lu Zhifei's other hand had already lightly pressed against his chest, which was wide open in shock.

The rune of [Corrosion Heart] flashed and disappeared.

A visible, decaying aura of death, like the most terrifying virus, burst forth instantly from her palm!

Navy Hero "Iron Fist" Garp, this legendary old man who stood at the pinnacle of his era and was hailed as the symbol of the Navy's spirit, his steel-like body, starting from his chest, rapidly weathered, decayed, and disintegrated at an incomprehensible speed...

Finally, in his eyes, filled with endless shock, unwillingness, and despair, he completely turned into a handful of gray-white dust, carried away by the wind.

Both body and soul annihilated.

Another legend had fallen.

And it was in an even more complete, more understated, and more despairing way.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, standing not far away, trembled violently, and finally, with a "poof," spat out a large mouthful of blood, looking as if he had aged decades in an instant, collapsing to his knees, his eyes filled only with boundless decay and deathly silence.

The Navy's legend, the Navy's hero, the Navy's future hope...

On this day, they were all slaughtered by these two siblings, like demon gods.

The Navy was finished.

This era was also completely finished.

"Does anyone else have an opinion?"

Lu Zhifei withdrew her hand, her voice cold, as she surveyed the entire scene.

The whole world was silent.
