44 Titans Clash

The crew all got up and went about their day, getting ready to set sail.

Alex said his goodbyes to Olivia, Clover and all the other people he met in his time on the island.

He reached the boat and everyone else was already waiting for him to depart.

Alex smiled and was about to get on the boat when he spotted a boat in the distance. He paused and turned on his heels, sprinting back home. He reached his house and grabbed Dragon by the collar.

"Abandon that stupid pirate boat we stole, we need to go, now!" Alex said as he dragged Dragon along with him.

"He's here?" Dragon asked.

Alex nodded. "We'll give you a ride."

Dragon nodded and started running with Alex.

They quickly returned to the boat and Alex's fingers all stretched out and untied every single knot at the same time while Dragon commanded a gust of wind to start pushing the boat off the shore.

Storm clouds began forming in the sky as the winds picked up and thunder roared. The sea became choppy and each passing wave started pushing the pirate's boat forward.

Roger looked back at the two from the figurehead of the ship. "What's the rush?"

Alex pointed behind them. "Garp."

Roger laughed. "Great! This will be fun!"

Three cannon balls zipped through the air. Roger jumped out and stopped one of them with his sword while Rayleigh slashed another one. The third hit the side of the ship and flew out the other side before making a huge splash in the ocean.

Alex cursed. "Roger, we really can't be playing around right now! If this ship takes much more damage, we're gonna sink!"

Roger nodded. "I know, I hear our ship crying."

Dragon focused and the winds picked up sending the boat away from the shore even faster, however, the marines were still gaining distance on them.

Alex's mind raced as he furiously scratched the back of his neck. He suddenly turned to face Roger and Shanks.

"We need to attack." He said calmly.

"What?! Attack uncle Garp? Are you fucking insane?!" Shanks said.

Alex looked back at Shanks. "This ship is old, it can't handle much more punishment anyway. If we keep this up, we are going to sink no matter what. They have faster and better ships than us, I would know, I helped design them."

Shanks's face turned glum. "I forgot about that. Fuck! Why are you so smart! You dumbass!"

Alex smiled. "So, we just have to attack. They can't keep damaging our ship if we attack." Alex pointed at Roger, Dragon, Shanks and finally himself.

"We geppo over there and take them on. They probably only have Garp and a few other lower ranking marines. Roger can hold off Garp and us three take care of the rest." Alex looked around at the rest of the crew. "You all turn this ship around and come help us while we fight them, just in case we don't win, we can at least hold them off long enough that you guys can back us up."

Everyone nodded and Alex smiled. "Then, let's give em' hell."

The attack squad all smiled and leapt off the boat together before running along the air towards the marine boat.

On the marines boat, Garp looked out at the pirate ship with two more cannon balls in his hands.

A marine holding a telescope gasped. "W-what?! A-attack! They are attacking!"

Garp laughed. "Bwahahaha! Everyone! Get ready!"

Two girls behind him saluted. "Yes, sir!"

Garp smiled as he watched four figures running on the air at him. "Bwahahaha! He really did learn geppo! That's my boy!"

One of the marines on deck looked confused. "Should he really be happy that pirates know the six powers?"

Another one beside him shrugged. "It must be your first time here… don't bother questioning the small things in the future… you'll go insane."

"Small things? How is that a small thing?"

The seasoned veteran sighed. "You have no idea… You don't even want to know."

Garp laughed as the cannon balls in his hands turned black and he launched them in the air.

A hearty laugh could be heard in the distance as a sword slash hit the two cannonballs and the attacks formed a massive shockwave that rocked both boats as the attacks cancelled each other out.

One of the men in the air stood still for a moment before a jaw dropping level of haki brust forth. Lightning tendrils spread out in every direction and started making contact with both the sky above the man and the sea below him.

"DIVINE DEPARTURE!" The man roared as he swung his sword in the air and sent a haki infused attack at the boat.

Garp laughed and tossed a cracker in his mouth. He used soru to kick off the boat before running towards the attack with his own geppo.

Garp's eyes glowed as lightning started to spark and appear all around him. He cocked his fist back and coated it with his armament haki before the lightning surrounding him all focused in on spot as it danced around his fist and went from knuckle to knuckle.

Garp smiled as his armament and conquers haki infused attack was ready.

"GALAXY…" Garp smashed his fist forward.

"... IMPACT!"

Garp's punch decimated everything in its path, including the sea as it tore through the sky. The two attacks clashed in mid air and the sky above everyone split open. Dragon's storm was obliterated and the sky became clear blue.

The sea below the point of impact split and a giant circle of the ocean floor could be seen by everyone who witnessed the attack. A moment later the shockwave hit all those nearby. Multiple marines were swept off their feet and flew into the ocean behind the boat.

The rest of the marines grabbed onto anything they could find as their legs waved in the air behind them. The boat tilted completely sideways as a wave the size of a large sea king rippled throughout the ocean.

Suddenly the ocean water that was displaced by the raw power of the attacks collapsed back in on itself and a giant geyser of water splashing into the sky, flying at least 100 meters above sea level.

The water began to rain down on the marines as the geyser that was blocking everyone's view of the attackers finally collapsed.
