At this moment, Garp's right hand clenched tightly, crackling with power. Every move Pain had shown so far was beyond his expectations.
However, since the Gedo Path could revive the others, it had to be eliminated first. Otherwise, this battle would never truly end.
Nagato had already experienced Garp's terrifying strength. A direct clash would only put Pain at a disadvantage, so long-range tactics were the safest option.
That being the case, it was time to use the Animal Path.
She rapidly formed hand seals and slammed both palms onto the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
A glowing summoning circle nearly four meters wide appeared beneath her feet. In the next instant, a massive bull emerged in the center of the battlefield.
One-Punch Man World
The members of the Hero Association were shocked.
Atomic Samurai exclaimed, "I didn't expect Pain to summon such a massive monster. We really underestimated her!"
But Child Emperor adjusted his glasses and calmly analyzed, "Although it looks like a monster, this is probably a naturally grown bull summoned through a formation."
The others nodded, beginning to estimate the creature's strength.
Before they could finish their discussion—
Boom!
Garp punched once.
The bull's head exploded instantly.
Even Garp looked surprised. He scratched his nose.
"Looks impressive, but it's useless. I'll take the body home and make soup."
Nagato's expression darkened. He hadn't expected the bull to die in a single blow.
But the Animal Path wasn't finished.
She slammed her hands down again.
This time, an enormous ten-headed hound appeared—far larger than the bull.
Each head wore a savage expression, drool pouring from their mouths. Sharp fangs gleamed as the beast charged toward Garp, ready to devour him.
Garp remained completely calm.
To him, the charging monster was no different from a playful puppy.
When it closed to within a few meters, Garp threw a punch.
BOOM!
The shockwave forced Pain to step back.
The ten-headed hound was pulverized into minced meat without even a whimper.
Fox Spirit World
Bai Yuechu hurriedly covered Susu's eyes.
"Kids shouldn't watch stuff like this."
Even Tu Shan Yaya stared thoughtfully.
"This old man is interesting."
One-Punch Man World
Silver Fang said, "Seems quite a few people in the Pirate World can use that Armament Haki."
Atomic Samurai nodded. "Must be a common technique there. I wonder how hard it is to learn."
Metal Bat clenched his fists excitedly.
"If I had that power, wrapping it around my bat would be insane."
Attack on Titan World
Mikasa watched with bright eyes.
"If we learned that technique, Titans wouldn't be able to hurt us anymore."
Levi stared at his blades.
"One day, I'll step onto that battlefield."
Armin clenched his fists.
"When that day comes, I'll give everything I have."
Garp glanced at the pile of mangled flesh and sighed.
"Knew that puppy couldn't take a hit. Guess I can't make my dog hat now."
The Deva Path still floated in the air, unmoving. Garp didn't care.
His target was the Gedo Path.
In a flash, he charged forward, his blackened fists leaving no room to dodge.
Seeing his teammate in danger, the Asura Path activated its mechanical armor. Saw blades burst from its back and slashed toward Garp.
Garp snorted.
"Hmph."
One punch sent Asura Path flying, his body smashing into a rock wall.
Unlike before, he wasn't shattered this time. Instead, the top of his head opened mechanically, blue energy gathering inside.
Garp paused slightly.
"That's new."
The charge completed.
A laser beam fired straight at him.
"Childish."
Garp punched the beam, deflecting it sideways.
BOOM!
The explosion was massive, scorching the ground black like a napalm strike.
Without stopping, Garp continued charging at the Gedo Path.
Suddenly—
"Shinra Tensei!"
The Deva Path finally moved.
RUMBLE!
A terrifying repulsive force blasted Garp away. He was sent flying dozens of meters, skidding across the ground and carving a deep trail before stopping.
Even Garp couldn't resist that sudden impact.
Seeing the Gedo Path still standing, Nagato finally exhaled.
He hadn't expected Garp to be so fast. If he had reacted a moment later, the Gedo Path would have been destroyed.
And without it, revival would be impossible.
Garp shook his head and stood back up.
His gaze sharpened as he looked at the Deva Path floating above.
Pirate World
Fujitora murmured, "Similar to my Gravity Fruit… but far stronger."
Blackbeard scoffed, "Shouldn't that onion-eyed guy pay me royalties?"
Garp hadn't felt this fired up since fighting Roger.
Despite being over seventy, his eyes burned with battle lust.
"Again!"
This time, he moved even faster, instantly appearing in front of the Gedo Path.
The newly revived Preta Path rushed forward to block him.
Too late.
BANG!
Garp's iron fist smashed into the Gedo Path's face.
The monstrous force sent the nearby Preta Path flying more than ten meters away.
Nagato's expression turned grim.
He never expected Garp to unleash such speed after being hit by Shinra Tensei.
The Gedo Path's destruction was a devastating loss.
