Alabasta, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
On the battlefield, now silent after the dissipation of the firestorm, Luffy, in his impressive phase 2 form, faces off against Crocodile and Momonga. The two adversaries cautiously observe, their expressions mixing surprise and recalculated caution in the face of the young pirate's transformation. The air carries a palpable tension, a prelude to the continuation of the confrontation.
Luffy, taking a deep breath, breaks the silence. "I really wanted to beat you without resorting to this transformation," he begins, his voice carrying a note of disappointment and frankness. "But I have to admit, I'm having trouble dealing with both of you at the same time." His confession is sincere, revealing not just his ambition, but also a pleasure for a fight where he would break his own limits.
Crocodile and Momonga, hearing Luffy's words, cannot hide their surprise. Crocodile, with his usual confident and arrogant demeanor, now shows a glimpse of uncertainty. The idea that Luffy was holding back and yet, he attempts to remain calm as he was still a Logia user and Luffy didn't seem to get around that until now.
Momonga, on the other hand, maintains his serious and unwavering expression, even still feeling his burned arm he stood firm, but now his eyes betray a reluctant acknowledgment of Luffy's newfound strength.
"You may be strong, Straw Hat, but justice will still prevail!" Momonga responds, his voice firm.
"Please, don't come to me with that kind of thing, who will prevail will always be the strongest, not who believes most in their ideology..." Luffy had to mock, in this world, no matter how just you are, if you are not strong enough, you will be eaten by a bigger fish.
"Do not mock justice!" Momonga raised his voice a bit furiously.
'What a justice-sensitive guy...' This made Luffy raise an eyebrow and question if they do some kind of navy brainwashing and hoping that his sister doesn't become that kind of soldier who doesn't even follow logic anymore.
"Well, let's continue then..." Luffy comments, and while Momonga was furious, Crocodile growled at Luffy.
In his transformed phase 2 form, Luffy firmly holds the Benehime sword, the blade emanating an energy from his flames even more powerful. In his purple-toned body, the amethyst flames surrounding him dance furiously.
Taking a deep breath, he concentrates his energy, the aura of purple fire around his body increasing in size and intensity. Luffy then advances, his speed enhanced by his transformation making him appear more a blur than a human. He delivers a powerful strike with the sword, a combination of physical strength and energy from the chaos flames.
Crocodile and Momonga, now facing the pressure of Luffy's amplified form, prepare for the attack. Crocodile, with his sand ability, tries to create a barrier to protect himself and dissipate the force of the blow. At the same time, he attempts to counter-attack, launching a whirlwind of sharp sand towards Luffy, hoping to cut the fight in his favor.
Momonga, with his posture of an experienced swordsman, anticipates Luffy's movement and positions himself defensively, strengthening himself with his Haki. He knows that a direct block against an attack of such magnitude would be imprudent. Therefore, he opts for a more strategic approach, trying to deflect the blow while at the same time looking for an opening to counter-attack the pirate's defenses.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m
When Luffy's attack hits, the impact is so powerful that it resonates through the battlefield, a wave of energy that shakes the very air. Crocodile and Momonga feel the full force of that blow, each struggling to maintain their position and defense under the overwhelming pressure. The ground beneath them cracks and crumbles, and the air fills with the sound of their fierce struggle.
Crocodile, surprised by the strength of the attack, barely manages to keep his sand form intact, while Momonga, although managing to deflect part of the impact with his superior technique, feels the pressure of Luffy's power, a force he did not expect from such a young pirate.
Luffy, at the center of this storm of strength and fire, does not diminish his momentum. He delivers a powerful blow charged with all the force of infernal flames. The flames burst from his blade in a massive explosion, engulfing the battlefield with a wave of heat and light. The earth trembles, and a cloud of smoke and fire rises into the sky, marking the devastating impact of his power that was about to engulf Crocodile and Momonga.
Crocodile, trying to protect himself with his sand ability, barely manages to form a barrier in time, but the force of Luffy's attack is so intense that the barrier is almost immediately consumed by the purple flames. He is forced to retreat, trying to reform and protect himself from the firestorm that threatens to engulf him.
Momonga, on the other hand, is caught off guard by the sudden explosion. With not enough time to react or defend adequately, he is hit full force by the impact of the flames. His body is thrown backward like a projectile, flying through the air and destroying a nearby house with the force of his collision. The structure collapses under the impact, a cloud of dust and debris rising where Momonga fell.
The Vice-Admiral, stunned and wounded, struggles to rise from the rubble, the pain and shock evident on his face. He was already with a burned arm and this attack injured him even more, as he had blood trickling down his face.
Luffy, standing at the epicenter of the chaos he created, looks at his adversaries with a solemn gaze while only the echo of the impact sounds. His purple flames still dance around him, a visual testament to the power he holds. He knows the fight is far from over, but this last attack was a reminder to Crocodile and Momonga that he is not the same as before.
The sound of blows and the clash of weapons fill the air. Luffy, in a frenzy of attacks, doesn't give Momonga a moment's rest.
Momonga, though pressured, maintains his calm and focus. In the midst of the fight, as both exchange rapid and strong blows, Momonga manages to create a small distance between them. Panting and with a look filled with frustration and anger, he faces Luffy. "Monkey D. Luffy, you are a pirate, a criminal. I cannot, I will not be defeated by someone like you!"
Luffy maintains his defiant posture and unshakable spirit. "Stop with that nonsense, the strongest always wins." Luffy calmly replied, tired of the vice-admiral's repeated phrase.
Luffy advances again, delivering a series of rapid and precise attacks. With a quick movement and a powerful strike, Luffy manages to overcome Momonga's defense. The vice-admiral is thrown back like the last time, the impact of the blow this time sending him to the ground with force. He tries to get up, but defeat is evident in his eyes.
Momonga, lying on the ground, looks at Luffy with a mix of anger, frustration, and perhaps a glimpse of reluctant respect. "This... this isn't right. How... how can you be so strong?"
Luffy, not too hurt since he entered a phase 2 of his mythical zoan, looks at Momonga with a serious expression. "This is my determination, determination to reach the top, and it won't be you from the navy or those uncles who run the new world who are going to stop me." Luffy speaks with determination.
With those words, Momonga falls unconscious, Luffy finally had finished his fight against the two formidable opponents, he stays for a while in the middle of the destroyed field with several houses destroyed around him while his flames burn all the time around his body.
