Chapter 31 - Seth VS Garp

Looking at luffy's expectant face, seth shooked his head saying " I can't join your crew because I have my own and many people are depending on me so stop recruiting me. " hearing seth words luffy was depressed for a moment then cheered up immediately " well its okay! btw, I'm Mokey D. Luffy the man who will become the pirate king what's your name? " hearing luffy's introduce himself seth responded " My name is Seth, nice to meet you luffy " he extended his hands towards luffy and the shook hands.

Then someone went out from the wooden house this was garp, he was looking for luffy when he spotted his grandson he looked at the man luffy was talking to, he knew this pirate he was the man who slaughtered 7 pirate crews and they didn't know the reason behind his actions so seeing luffy talking to a very dangerous pirate he immediately went towards them.

Seth already saw garp when he exited the house when he saw that he was approaching him with the intent to fight he looked towards him and smiled " Well well well if it isn't the marine hero Monkey D. Garp what is a Vice-Admiral doing here at water 7? " Garp just snorted at seth and pulled luffy behind warning him " Don't get too close to that pirate he's "Blood Scythe Seth" he slaugthered 7 pirate crews without reason. so be careful when interacting with that guy "

Hearing garp's word seth was stunned (he's describing me like im a homicidal maniac the fck?) seth immediately interjected garp " Hey garp the pirates that I killed were "evil" pirates mind you, you should be grateful to me for helping you get rid of those cancerous people. " garp ignored his explanation which pissed seth off.

After warning luffy about seth garp turned towards him saying " well now that you're here I should do my job as a marine vice-admiral and subdue you. " hearing garp words seth laughed and look at garp with disdain " Hahahahahahahaha! You're always welcome to try and arrest me mr. hero I also wanted to see the power of the marine who can rival Gold Roger. " seth immediately released his conqueror's haki making all the marine foot soldier faint coby and helmeppo were fighting to stay conscious.

Garp seeing his subordinates faint immediately turned towards luffy and ordered him to bring coby and helmeppo inside the building. seth seeing garp was concerned about his subordinate immediately said "Don't worry mr. hero I wont harm any of your subordinates, so you can concentrate fighting me please give me your all." seth then summoned famine, he really wanted to fight an admiral level marine he knew garp was stronger than akainu,aokiji and kizaru that's why he would go all out against garp.

Seeing seth taking out his famed scythe and was playing with it like it was a part of his body, garp then clad both of his arm with armament haki then used soru he immediately disappeared from his previous spot and appeared infront of seth, seth was shocked by at garp's speed but quickly clad famine with armament haki then blocked his punch after blocking garp's punch seth flipped backwards then waved famine towards garp releasing several wind blades.

Garp seeing the approaching wind blades immediately crossed his arms to block the incoming attack, seth took advantage of the situation and immediately rushed towards garp, he charged his foot with his wind fruit and immediately appeared behind garp and slashed downwards *Booom!* seth missed! his attacked hit the ground causing spiderweb cracks to spread all over. Garp evaded seth's attack using geppo he was high above the air.

On the wooden house the strawhats were watching seth fighting against garp. they were shocked from the sheer power behind every attack. nami then asked luffy " Hey luffy who is that guy fighting your grandpa? he can fight evenly with him! " luffy looked at nami and said " He was the guy we met on mock town his name is seth, grandpa said that he slaughtered 7 pirate crews without reasons that's why he wanted to capture seth. "

Hearing luffy's word nami was shocked she can't believe the man who helped her in the past would kill without reason she wanted to find out the truth from seth's mouth she will ask him if he ever win against garp. Robin then joined them and said " he's " Blood Scythe Seth " he attacked the marine base G-2 without reason but he didn't kill anyone when he attacked the base, his bounty is 350,000,000 beli.

Everyone was shocked not because his bounty was high, but because it was low if you compare his strength to their captain who has a 300,000,000 beli bounty it was worlds apart. luffy also can't believe that their bounties were almost equal.

High above the air garp was breathing heavily *huuh*huuh* " I can't believe you're this strong and I know you're still holding back " garp then said " we already warmed up it's time to get serious " seth just looked at the garp and didn't reply. he was also preparing because he knew garp would start to get serious.

Garp then clad his whole body with armament haki he kicked his legs like a whip towards seth " RANKYAKU! " an air blade flew towards seth, seeing this seth was shocked because it was the same as his wind blade. he then converge winds behind famine then slashed towards the incoming wind blade " Wind Fusion Slash! " *BOooOM!* when the two attacks clashed seth and garp were pushed backwards from the clash. the strawhats also got affected the wooden was nearly blown to pieces.

"Da*n the both of them are monsters! we should leave here immediately or else we get caught from their attacks!" Sanji said all of them nodded in agreements and immediately went to find a safe spot.

Seth seeing his fusion attack got negated by a casual kick from garp was pissed off, garp was also shocked because that wasn't just a casual kick he infused his full strength into that attack. seth looked towards garp then said " Hey hero let me show something interesting I just learned this move recently and still didn't mastered it " finishing his words seth started s.u.c.k.i.n.g the winds and started converging it behind him after charging enough wind he looked towards garp and shouted " BASILISK!"
