"Oh? Is it Garp? You came pretty fast!"
Allen looked back with interest and threw Crocodile, who was paralyzed in his hand, to the ground.
"Why are you here alone? Where's Sengoku? Aren't you afraid that you will die here?"
His indifferent look instantly angered the marines who came with Garp.
Vice Admiral Garp was a hero in their hearts, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku was the highest commander of the entire navy, yet he was ridiculed by the young man in front of him without respect.
"Playing tricks, how can a dead person come back to life again!"
A sword shadow flashed, and Garp's adjutant, Bogard, had unsheathed his long sword at his waist, with Armament Haki wrapped around it, and slashed at Allen.
"Do you know me?"
Allen's arm, reinforced with Armament Haki, blocked Bogard's long sword with a ding sound, and he frowned slightly. The force behind the strike was definitely not light, just one level lower than the strength of those who had besieged him years ago.
Bogard's full-strength attack failed to succeed, and he quickly retreated, pulling away from Allen, his expression very solemn.
"More than 30 years ago, I had the honor to follow Vice Admiral Garp to witness your demeanor in the Valley of the Gods."
He was very clear about his own strength—at least at the level of a candidate for admiral—but he didn't expect his full-strength attack to be so easily blocked. Could it be that the person in front of him was really the "Disruptor" Allen from back then?
"Hey, are you really Allen?"
At this time, Garp, who was standing at the door in shock, rubbed his eyes and showed an unbelievable look.
"What do you think, Garp? You're so old now, but it's still more comfortable to look at you like this."
"Hahaha, Allen, since you're not dead, let me arrest you today!"
Garp took off his cloak casually, threw it to the marines behind him, and prepared to attack with his fists.
"Tsk... What a scumbag habit of the navy!"
Allen spat to the side with disdain.
"If we start fighting here, do you want to bury all the people in this city of Alabasta? And there are only two oases in the whole of Alabasta—do you want to destroy one?"
Garp froze when he was asked this question. If he fought with Allen, he would definitely not hold back.
Although Allen still looked the same as he did more than 30 years ago, and even his strength seemed about the same as back then, Garp had made great progress after more than 30 years of training and fighting.
But he didn't dare to say that he could definitely beat Allen.
"Let's go, Garp, let's head to the desert outside to fight!"
Allen took the lead to go outside, and the marines standing in front of him were intimidated by his momentum and unconsciously made way.
"Nico Robin, I know you're here. Take Nami and Nojiko to the boat at our dock and wait for me. I'll play with Garp."
Before he finished speaking, Nico Robin walked out, trembling under the angry gaze of Crocodile, who was lying on the ground.
As a wanted criminal with a bounty of 79 million Berries, how could she not panic when she saw the navy hero Vice Admiral Garp face to face?
After all, even the Pirate King Roger had been caught by the old man in front of her. What chance did she have against such a legendary marine?
At this moment, she was regretting her decisions deeply.
Originally, she had been thinking about hedging her bets. Whether Allen defeated Crocodile or not, there would still be a place for her. Who would have thought that this guy would defeat Crocodile in seconds and then go on to fight the navy hero!
If you're so powerful, why were you hanging around in the East Blue?
With a bounty of 80 million Berries? How about a bounty of 800 million?
Such a powerful boss—if he had been active in the Grand Line, Robin would have definitely heard of him. Now, being called out directly was utterly embarrassing.
"You two, follow me."
Resisting the panic in her heart, Robin walked in front of Nami and Nojiko, gesturing for them to follow her as they made their way through the passage left by the marines.
"Devil's Child, you..."
Bogard was about to reach out to stop the three women when Allen's voice came from outside.
"If you dare to touch them, I will immediately run out and start intercepting your navy's warships in the Grand Line. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Bogard's movements froze in place.
The deterrent power of this statement was immense. If Allen truly ignored his status and launched sneak attacks on the warships at sea, those below the rank of vice admiral would undoubtedly be killed instantly. Even elite vice admirals or admiral candidates would find it difficult to escape!
The responsibility was too great; he couldn't bear it.
Garp saw his adjutant's hesitation and helplessly waved his hand, signaling them to let Robin and the other two girls leave. Right now, Allen was the priority—even Nico Robin had to take a back seat.
After all, one was merely a scholar of ancient texts, while the other harbored a terrifying ambition to overturn the world!
"Allen..."
Nami wanted to say something, but Robin directly grabbed her hand and dragged her and Nojiko onto the turtle.
The enormous turtle held a pipe in its mouth. After receiving Robin's order, it sped across the desert at an incredible pace.
Although the main text of history had yet to be revealed, from the moment Crocodile was instantly defeated and Garp appeared in Alabasta, Robin had already abandoned her plans.
Such a significant figure had appeared here. All she could do now was flee—a lesson learned from countless tragic experiences.
Leaving Rainbase, Allen and Garp took the lead, with a group of marines following closely behind. There was no tense atmosphere, but all the soldiers kept their hands on their weapons, ready to act at any moment.
"Boss, are you okay?"
After Allen and the marines left, Mr. 1 dared to approach and help Crocodile up.
Among all the subordinates present, Mr. 1 was the most loyal, but his strength was too insignificant compared to Allen's. He didn't even have the qualifications to make the other party take him seriously.
"Garp, and that Allen... you wait!"
Crocodile gritted his teeth so hard they nearly shattered. Even when he was defeated by Whitebeard, he wasn't broken by that loss.
After all, Whitebeard had defeated him fair and square, and they had exchanged words afterward. He could admit that he was inferior to someone of that caliber.
But now, Allen and Garp had ignored him completely, treating him like an ant on the roadside. This was the root of Crocodile's deep humiliation.
In his anger, another trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
