In the East Blue, an island shook as two figures dashed toward each other, clashing and releasing a wave of haki all around as each tried to best the other in this confrontation. The island rocked until one of them lost, being thrown backward as his body dragged dirt and trees before colliding with a mountain in the middle of the place. Luffy sighed as his body was buried among all that rubble.

''I'm not at grandpa's level yet...'' Luffy murmured internally as he felt himself struck by future sight the next second.

"Luffy... don't go soft, you brat!!!" Garp appeared at that moment, digging through the earth behind Luffy and emerging in front of him.

Luffy immediately tried to retaliate, but in the next moment, he was struck again, his body digging even deeper into the ground, while from the outside view, the entire mountain began to crumble.

Luffy fell into a huge underground cavern, as he got back on his feet, his fists immediately layered more haki before he dodged Garp's next move entering the underground cavern trying to hit him. He moved in a counter a moment later as Garp, without time to react to this move from Luffy, crossed his arms in defense and was sent backward with his grandson's punch, breaking several walls as he continued advancing through the underground caverns. Luffy did not stay still and this time advanced against his grandfather as the latter was already prepared for him in the next moment, and both began to fight amid those natural underground constructions beneath the island.

The whole place trembled as more and more shocks between Grandfather and Grandson's hakis hit each other, and they kept descending further as a lake of lava appeared in the middle of the fight due to their deep descent, each trying to outdo the other. Even though Luffy was slightly less effective than his grandfather, he did not back down as he continued to strike against him.

The explosions continued the entire time as Luffy and Garp kept going through the lava below sea level, the entire island trembling as animals began to flee, and once again, one side of the earth burst open on the surface as Luffy and Garp emerged fighting each other. Hours continued while they again returned to the island's underground, causing it to shake more than ever, and neither of them noticed as not just hours passed, but days continued with both solely focused on the fight.

Ships passed nearby, but no one dared approach with the explosions being heard from a distance, even the sea becoming choppy with it, deterring any curious onlookers from taking a risk.

Luffy and Garp spent 7 days fighting each other until they finally decided to stop after exhaustion. Luffy stood in front of the fire, his arm broken and his face covered in marks with bruised eyes.

Garp stood close to him while maintaining his face with one of the eyes bruised as well, he did not come out unscathed, although he managed to fare better than Luffy.

"You really have become strong, kid... but you still have a lot to learn! Buahahahahaha!" Garp began to laugh.

Luffy just stayed silent, not disagreeing with his grandfather. "It's true..." He then spoke as soon as his grandfather stopped laughing, "But that doesn't mean I won't surpass you in the future. So wait for me, Grandpa. I'm going to beat you." He broke into a smile.

"I'll be waiting for that." Garp also smiled as they spent another night on that uninhabited island, apart from the animals, to recover their energies from the start of the fight over the last 7 days, and they went to sleep.
