Chapter 48: Monster
Sag couldn't see Haki, but he could feel it. When his attacks made contact with Garp, although his fists touched the body, there was clearly an extra, inexplicable feeling, like a hardened armor, but far more than that.
Against such a Haki-protected existence, his pressure point techniques were also ineffective. It wasn't that he couldn't break through the Haki defense; after all, Haki wasn't omnipotent, it wasn't an absolute defensive barrier, and it could be consumed and broken.
But this old guy's Haki, that was hard to say.
However...
"Hah!"
Sag exhaled a white breath, his feet planted, and he instantly disappeared from the spot. His ferocious body hovered in the air above Garp. His fists clenched, making the air crackle, and he smashed them down on Garp's shoulders.
*Bang!*
Garp's feet sank into the bridge, all the way to his knees. With one blow finished, Sag quickly retracted his hands, his body didn't stop for a moment in the air, and one leg brushed Garp's head, the huge impact pulling Garp outwards, directly flying out of the bridge.
Haki couldn't offset the impact force; that was achieved by one's own strength.
Sag used 100% of his Turning Dragon Breathing Technique's power. The increase in strength was huge. Although he didn't have Haki, it didn't mean he had no ability to fight back.
"Pwahahaha! What terrifying power!"
Laughter came from outside the bridge. Garp grabbed the edge of the bridge with one hand, and with a slight exertion, he jumped back onto the bridge.
"It's my turn!"
At the same time as he jumped, Garp's body flashed, quickly rushing to the top of Sag, raising his huge fist high, and laughed, "Mischievous kid, you must be taught a lesson. Taste this old man's Fist of Love!"
Sag's pupils contracted. He could only feel that the fist contained extremely powerful force. He instinctively wanted to dodge, but as soon as his feet moved, the fist had already come before him.
*Boom!!*
The bridge was blasted into a huge crater, rubble flew, and Sag's eyes rolled back. He spat out blood, and his entire person was blasted into the crater by this fist.
"Pwahahahaha, have you felt this old man's惋惜for young people?!" Garp laughed loudly.
At that moment, Sag's eyes regained focus, and a ferocity flashed. He fiercely thrust his feet straight at Garp's abdomen, pushing him into the air. At the same time, his body quickly stood up, stepped into the air with *Geppo*, approached in mid-air, and his fists, like afterimages, bombarded Garp's body.
This old guy's fist was terrifying. He couldn't be hit!
Each of Sag's punches attempted to use the unique force of the 'Fist of the North Star' to penetrate into the vital points of Garp's body, but the opponent seemed to have predicted it. That inexplicable sense of obstruction was not covering the whole body, but moved to various parts of the body with Sag's rapid bombardment.
No matter how fast his fists were, he couldn't break through the defense of that sense of obstruction.
Haki!
*Pa!*
Until another punch hit Garp's face, Garp's hand caught his fist. In mid-air, he moved Sag's fist little by little, revealing his grinning face.
"Had enough, kid!"
"Not yet!"
*Bang!*
Sag kicked up, hooking Garp's neck. His body flipped in the air, kicking Garp down like a cannonball.
"Geppo!"
Sag's feet stepped on two smoke rings in the air, rising straight up. His hands danced in the air, making a *bang* sound as he clenched the air. His fists were tightly retracted behind him, and his legs蹬开 in the air.
"Comet!"
His ferocious body, like a comet falling from the sky, directly impacted Garp, who had just landed on the ground. As he approached, his fists were positioned one above the other, impacting Garp's chest.
"Rokushiki Ōgi: Rokuōgan - Tenha Kassatsu!!" (Six King Gun - Heaven-Breaking Life-Killing!)
A huge shockwave erupted as Sag's double fists hit Garp's body. The intense impact made Garp's body tremble, and he actually spat out a mouthful of blood.
*Boom!!!*
A section of the bridge under Garp's body also shook under this shockwave, from which a circle of visible air waves蕩出, blowing outwards, blowing Bogard's cloak beside him, making it flutter. He looked at the bridge below in disbelief.
That entire section of the bridge was actually covered in cracks from this impact.
The Great Bridge... was cracked.
*Tenha Kassatsu*, was a long-range attack method in the Fist of the North Star, using Tōki to attack the opponent's pressure points remotely, possessing powerful power. But Sag wouldn't.
Tōki was Haki, and Sag didn't have the conditions for it all along, but he knew the Rokushiki.
The Rokushiki were also moves that explored the mysteries of the human body. After learning all six styles, Sag, who had reached the peak of physical mastery, naturally mastered moves beyond the Rokushiki.
One was Life Return, and the other was this move that combined the six styles and could emit a shockwave.
He couldn't use Haki, but he could always produce a shockwave, right? Combining it with the 'Tenha Kassatsu' of the Fist of the North Star, he could use the large range of this shockwave to quickly destroy the enemy's pressure points.
Using this move to break the opponent's Haki!
"There's more!"
After Sag's attack hit, his fists raised again, about to strike Garp again.
*Pa!!*
And at this time, a fist came out from below, fiercely hitting Sag's jaw, punching him into the air, and even making the surrounding air explode. That powerful fist made Sag's teeth chatter.
*Pa...*
Sag, who was still suspended in the air, felt his legs tighten. Looking down, he saw that Garp had grabbed his legs.
This old guy had stood up from the crater, grinning at Sag. "Interesting kid, are your martial arts skills this powerful? You're even proficient in Rokushiki to this extent... Just come back with me!"
He swung his arm down, throwing Sag to the ground, creating a crater. Then he quickly flashed and swung his fist.
That huge fist approached Sag's head. In Sag's vision, his fist expanded infinitely, like a huge meteorite falling from the sky, filling his entire field of vision.
If he was hit, the result would be very bad. Sag couldn't take a second blow from that kind of fist, at least not completely.
He had a strange feeling that if this fist completely hit him in the face, this punch could make him lose his ability to resist.
He could even see that fist, with a trace of inexplicable...
Black aura!
"Kenkon (Fist Bone/Fist's Soul)!"
"Hah!!"
At the moment when the fist was only an inch away from Sag, Sag let out a fierce shout. His huge shout was like thunder, exploding in Garp's ears, causing him to be momentarily stunned.
*Kikōhō* (Qigong Shout)!
It was just this moment, Sag suddenly extended his fist, fiercely hitting Garp's face.
"Hokuto Haten Kai Ken! (North Star Heaven-Breaking Crushing Fist)!"
*Boom!!!*
Garp's fist hammered on Sag's head, and the downward pressure of his fist even pressed his face down, making the surrounding crater sink even deeper. The bridge, already full of cracks, shook for a while at this time.
And Garp was also completely hit in the face by Sag's punch, making his face dent. His entire body was lifted high by the impact, flying far away. Until he was about to fall to the ground, his body paused, and he landed steadily.
Blood flowed from Garp's nose and the corner of his mouth. He grinned for a while, his pupils contracted, his chest and abdomen puffed out, and he spat out a large mouthful of thick blood. Then he rubbed his face and laughed loudly:
"It has a feeling of the King's Fist, but it's not charged. It's also added with that unique internal destruction method. Pwahahaha, I'm also injured! What a monster!"
Sag stood up unsteadily, spat out a mouthful of blood fiercely. His ferocious body shrank at this moment, gradually returning to its original form.
*Hokuto Haten Kai Ken* was a strike that concentrated all his strength. He couldn't avoid Garp's fist, but he wouldn't let Garp hit him completely.
This punch was enough to make Garp fly.
But the fist hit, and even the pressure points on his face were hit. But with the mouthful of blood that Garp spat out just now, the pressure point effect also disappeared.
That powerful physique, and the degree of Haki, were too thorny!
"Stop fucking joking! You're the monster!" He shouted ferociously.
