------------
Ignoring the confused looks from Garp and the others, Allen dazedly reviewed his system notifications before opening the novice gift pack.
A wave of energy surged through him, reinforcing his body on all levels.
As for how much stronger he felt? Well…
It probably equaled the ten push-ups he did last night during training!
Then there was the elementary swordsmanship skill…
Could it be that both Roger and Shiki on the other side were master swordsmen?
Surrounded by a crowd, Allen decided to use his fists—the weapon he trusted most.
"Really, system, did you even check who's in front of me before assigning this task?"
"Defeat Luffy? Garp's hair is still black, let alone Luffy… Dragon might still be just getting by!"
[**Path to Power 1: Confront the Future Pirate King with Courage!**]
[**Task Details:** Defeat the 17-year-old Monkey D. Luffy, future Pirate King!]
[**Note:** Main missions cannot be refused. Completing each mission will earn appropriate rewards.]
"Are you kidding me? System, do you even know what year it is?"
[**Current Year: 1520 of the Sea Calendar**]
"What a joke! It's only 1484! We're still 36 years away from your timeline!"
Allen was speechless. Was this system really here to test him?
[System timeline is final.]
"Scram!"
Allen spat to the side, exasperated.
"Stop standing there like a ghost!"
A shadow appeared in front of him, and a powerful fist shot toward his face.
Rocks wasn't one to pull his punches like Garp; if Allen hesitated, Rocks wouldn't hold back. Pirates always take the chance to strike an opponent down!
Allen didn't hesitate, punching directly.
**Boom!**
Their fists clashed, sending shockwaves through the air. Dust rose up from the ground, swirling around them.
Allen's fist, meeting Rocks's, seemed to absorb a faint, weakening effect—like the influence of seastone.
"Haha, 'Subverter' Allen, you really are a Devil Fruit user! My Dark-Dark Fruit is the bane of your kind!"
Before Rocks finished laughing, a tremendous force sent him flying backward, a trickle of blood marking his face.
Allen's face twisted with disdain.
Just a Dark-Dark Fruit? Whitebeard showed us all what that fruit is worth when he fought Teach at Marineford!
If he hadn't witnessed your attacks firsthand, knowing your weaknesses, how could Whitebeard—on the brink of death—still overpower Teach, who managed to scar even Shanks?
And me? I've been training with seastone weights!
With the power of the Kamehameha Fruit, the Mythical Beast, and the Black Tortoise Form, my strength now exceeds even Kaido's, the so-called "strongest creature on land, sea, and air!"
In sheer physical power, the Azure Dragon can't even compare to the Black Tortoise!
"Fist of Impact!"
Garp launched himself into the air, his fists enveloped in intense Haki, and moved through the air with Moonwalk, creating invisible shockwaves.
Before the sonic boom reached Allen, Garp was above him, his waist and arms twisting as he unleashed a Haki-coated fist directly at Allen.
"Buddha's Impact!"
As Garp attacked, Sengoku transformed into a giant golden Buddha, dozens of meters tall, radiating power over the battlefield.
The Buddha's palm struck down a shockwave at Allen, filling the air with smoke and debris.
"Come on!"
Allen's black hair whipped wildly in the gusts from their attack, but his face remained calm.
As he spoke, a slender hand appeared, silently catching Garp's iron fist.
Although Allen's lean frame seemed outmatched by Garp's powerful build, when their strengths collided, Garp's punch dissolved without a sound!
Garp looked up, stunned, into Allen's expressionless face, his pupils narrowing with disbelief.
This was only a test blow, but Garp had fought countless battles. Never had anyone caught his fist so easily.
Before he could react, a powerful kick met him. He barely managed to block with his other arm but was thrown backward by the impact.
Beneath his top-grade Armament Haki, he could even feel a slight ache in his bones!
**Boom!**
The next second, Sengoku's shockwave hit Allen head-on.
A calm voice echoed from the dust.
"Sengoku, are you trying to fan me with that?"
"You…"
"Godslayer!"
Before Sengoku could respond, a voice sounded beside him, and a black-and-red Haki-imbued slash from Ace shot straight at Allen.
On Roger's right, Rayleigh launched an attack as well, a silver-white slash slightly smaller than Ace's but equally powerful.
Jabba, wielding an axe in one hand, leapt up beside them and charged into the dust cloud, following the slashes.
After a piercing sound like metal against glass, the dust cleared, revealing Allen's upper body coated in black as top-tier Armament Haki covered half his form.
Jabba's right-hand axe was caught firmly in Allen's grip, while his left-hand axe, also coated in Haki, failed to make a mark on Allen's chest.
"Jabba, fall back!"
Roger's face changed suddenly as he warned him.
But Roger's words came too late, and Allen's expression hardened with anger.
After all, no one enjoys being surrounded and ganged up on!
If you're willing to attack me, then bear the consequences!
Allen clenched his free hand into a fist, black-and-red Haki surging around it, and struck Jabba square in the chest with a speed nearly invisible to the naked eye.
The force sent Jabba hurtling out of the Valley of the Gods in a sonic boom.
A distant figure appeared behind Jabba and caught him mid-flight.
"Barrett, get Jabba to Crocus!"
Rayleigh's eyes burned with anger. From that distance, he could see that Jabba, held by Barrett, had gone pale and unconscious!
"If you come to face me in battle, be ready for the aftermath!"
A fierce expression crossed Allen's face. The tiger doesn't strike at the cat—but did you think I was weak?
