Third Person POV

Alabasta, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

Luffy, Ace, and Laboon were moving swiftly through the streets of Alabasta, with palpable energy and urgency. The sun beat down hard on the cobblestone streets, creating a mosaic of light and shadow as they dodged the crowd.

"Hey, Luffy!" Ace exclaimed, trying to keep up with his younger brother's fast pace.

"Come on, Ace! Come with me," Luffy replied, his voice full of determination. He led the way, with Ace and Laboon close behind.

"And that sailor?" Ace asked, looking over his shoulder to check if Smoker was still following them.

"I'll handle him. Let's go," Luffy said, a tone of confidence in his voice.

They deftly dodged through the crowd, turning into a narrow and shadowy alley of the city. Smoker, transformed into smoke, followed them closely, floating in the air. As soon as they found a more isolated place, Luffy stopped running, turning to face his pursuer.

Smoker descended, wrapped in his smoke powers, his face a mix of determination and frustration. "You're under arrest, Monkey D. Luffy and Portgas D. Ace!" he declared, surrounding himself with an aura of authority.

But before Smoker could react, or even Ace formulate a response, Luffy used Soru, a technique that allowed him to move at incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Smoker, his fist ready to strike. Luffy's blow was almost entirely avoided by Smoker's logia nature, but a small bright point of Haki made contact, sending Smoker flying backward with increased force, crashing him against a wall.

"WHAT!?" Smoker exclaimed, surprised and dazed by the unexpected impact.

"Luffy, you knocked down a logia? You learned Haki?" Ace asked, his eyes wide in shock and admiration.

Luffy, breathing heavily after the attack, looked at Ace and replied: "I'm learning, I still have a long way to master the technique."

"Damn..." Smoker stood up with a black eye from Luffy's punch.

"Sorry Smoker, but our fight ends here!" Luffy appeared in front of him, but Smoker managed to dodge by flying with his body in smoke.

"You are good at running away, but not good enough!" Luffy's voice was heard again and he appeared beside Smoker delivering another punch to the man.

Now the Navy man had nothing to do but fall knocked out.

"I think we're done here, let's go Ace!" Luffy said leaving the Alley with Ace following him with a strange face and Laboon behind.

"Luffy you always behaved so carelessly." Ace murmured passing by the fainted Navy man.

Luffy, Ace, and Laboon continued their way through the streets of Alabasta, leaving behind the scene of the confrontation with Smoker. The sun still shone strongly over the city, creating contrasts of light and shadow that danced through the alleys and avenues.

Luffy guided Ace and Laboon through backstreets and less crowded alleys, moving away from the hustle and bustle of the main city. Ace's expression reflected a mix of surprise and admiration, still absorbing the recent events and his brother's prowess.

"Hey, don't be so surprised, let's talk somewhere," Luffy said with a calm smile, indicating he knew exactly where they were going.

Ace, driven by curiosity and eagerness to know more, followed Luffy. "Alright, I have to ask about Yamato. How did you manage to get her out of Wano?" Ace's question was laden with admiration and interest.

Luffy chose a small park in the city for their conversation. It was a calm place, filled with green areas and benches under leafy trees, offering a quiet refuge from urban chaos. The park was almost deserted, with just a few people walking or resting in the shade, enjoying the peace of the late afternoon.

"Well, about Yamato..." Luffy began, sitting down on the soft grass. He looked at Ace, his eyes shining with excitement. "It was crazy, you know? I used an artifact to summon some people from different parts of the world and managed to free her from her father's chains with it!"

"She must be really happy about that. Is she in the city now?" Ace asked, the interest evident in his voice.

"Luffy, you really have become powerful, this is on a level above when I fought against Jimbei!" He admitted.

'Wait until he sees the captive I have in my ship, Hahaha!' Luffy thought.

"Let's increase the power of our flames, Ace!" Luffy announced.

"Alright then!" Ace agreed.

In the Alabasta desert, the battle between Luffy and Ace continued with increasing intensity. Luffy's purple flames, growing more powerful, began to gain an advantage over Ace's red flames. Luffy, fueled by the strength of his Mythical Zoan, demonstrated control over fire that seemed to defy the very laws of nature as if all domain of fire belonged to Ifrit and only him.

Luffy advanced, his black wings beating powerfully, raising whirlwinds of sand as he moved. He executed a series of rapid strikes, his purple flames enveloping his fists, each attack stronger than the previous. Ace, with his red flames, bravely defended himself, but the pressure from Luffy was relentless, his body colliding with the area before materializing again.

In a stunning move, Luffy launched a massive sphere of purple flames, an attack that once again lit up the entire place with a shockwave that even made the city tremble.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!*

Ace, reacting quickly, launched himself into the air, but the destructive power destabilized his position. Luffy, seizing the opportunity, activated his Haki, concentrating it in his fist. He lunged towards Ace, closing the distance between them in the blink of an eye. Ace, surprised by Luffy's speed, barely had time to react.

Luffy's fist, enveloped in an aura of Haki, struck Ace squarely, sending him flying back to the desert ground again. The force of the blow created a crater in the sand, raising a cloud of dust and sand.

Ace, fallen, tried to get up, but the impact of Luffy's blow had been too much. He looked up, seeing Luffy standing before him, purple flames still dancing around his body.

"You... you've improved a lot, Luffy... Even surpassed me..." Ace murmured, but he had a proud smile on his lips.

Luffy extended his hand to help Ace up. "You too, Ace. That was an incredible fight."

The two brothers briefly embraced, a mutual acknowledgment of respect and admiration. Laboon, seeing that the fight had ended, approached, avoiding all the flames burning in the desert, emitting sounds that seemed to celebrate the end of the confrontation.
