Vice Admiral Tsuru said suspiciously, "Such a devastating battlefield, and that Celestial Dragon survived?"

The reporting Marine hesitated, then saluted firmly. "Yes, Vice Admiral. We've confirmed his identity. It's indeed Saint Rolviff."

Tsuru nodded. "Bring him here. I want to take a closer look."

The Marine obeyed. Garp, unconcerned, commented, "What's the point of seeing a Celestial Dragon? He probably just got lucky."

Ignoring Garp's usual bluntness, Tsuru's sharp gaze focused on the approaching Celestial Dragon.

Noir's heart pounded in his chest.

Though his mimicry was flawless, this old woman was one of the sharpest minds in the Marines. He couldn't afford any slip-ups.

Tsuru observed Noir discreetly. Noir, in turn, feigned fear and Celestial Dragon conceit. "You incompetent Marines! I was almost killed by those thugs!"

His obnoxious attitude was spot on.

Tsuru, unfazed by Noir's insults, calmly explained, "Saint Rolviff, this was clearly a planned, large-scale operation. We didn't anticipate it."

Noir retorted haughtily, "Is this how a Marine officer addresses a Celestial Dragon?"

Garp, his short temper flaring at the disrespect, charged forward and delivered a headbutt, sending Noir sprawling to the ground.

The Vice Admiral beside them nearly fainted. He grabbed Garp, pleading, "Vice Admiral Garp, please! He's a Celestial Dragon!"

Garp lifted his chin defiantly. "So what?!"

Though a Marine serving the Government, Garp held the Celestial Dragons in contempt. As long as they didn't cross him, he'd leave them be. But if they provoked him, he wouldn't hesitate to give them a good thrashing.

Noir seized the opportunity, grabbing Garp's arm. His face contorted in pain and anger, but inwardly, he was ecstatic.

In that instant, he'd quickly scanned Garp's talents and used a Talent Replication Card.

"Name: Garp

Unbending War Bones: Gold Quality. A monstrous talent for Busoshoku Haki. Haki is cultivated from the bones, passively imbuing the body with certain Busoshoku Haki properties.

When Busoshoku Haki is applied to fists and used to strike an opponent, the 'War Bones' trait is activated. Busoshoku Haki is guaranteed to damage the opponent's bones and internal organs, with the severity depending on the Haki's quality. This trait can be applied to other body parts or abilities.

Hero's Scars: Gold Quality. Awarded the title of Hero for defeating legendary pirates. When facing pirates, stamina and recovery speed increase by 50%, and intimidation doubles.

When facing Marines, enemy morale significantly decreases, stamina and recovery speed decrease by 50%, and intimidation doubles.

When facing individuals defined as 'family', morale decreases by 20%, attack and speed decrease by 30%, and intimidation is halved.

Fist of Love: Red Quality. Due to Garp's personality, he often uses his fists to discipline children, resulting in this nurturing talent.

When striking individuals defined as 'family' with love, the target's learning ability, willpower, stamina, and recovery speed all double for a certain period. However, intelligence may decrease permanently or temporarily depending on the severity of the strike.
