Third Person POV

Marineford, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

Luffy immediately burst through the ground and charged at the two opponents in front of him, closing the distance against the first, who was none other than his own grandfather.

Garp also advanced towards the challenge posed by his grandson, raising his fist as Luffy did the same. And the moment their fists collided, a massive explosion erupted in all directions.

Both fists remained evenly matched, as bolts of armament haki expanded against each other. For the first time, Luffy was holding his own against his grandfather, the Marine hero and one of the strongest people in the world, albeit he was maintaining his hybrid form, the moa moa no mi, and his haki to stand up to his grandfather.

"You really have become strong since the last time, kid," Garp couldn't help commenting, feeling the pressure of Luffy's strike, as everything around them began to crack and fly.

Even many of the Marines who were still making the last stand against the pirates were blown away, screaming and unable to do anything but fly. Luffy was managing to stand up to Garp's attack until, even though the ground began to tremble and the earth started to give way. The same platform began to shake with Ace on top, starting to sway.

Garp, seeing this, maintained a sparkle in his eyes and he began to unleash something with his other haki while his hand began to wrap with the coating of the king.

"Are you going to use that already?" Luffy couldn't help but complain and also began to wrap his strike with the king's coating, which he had just learned, but was far inferior to Garp's.

The strike exploded the next moment, while Luffy ended up losing the battle again, flying backwards, but not too far as he managed to stay a few meters from the impact.

"He really holds the title of the Marine hero after countless battles with Roger and other big fish..." Luffy felt his entire arm tremble and ache after the clash.

His moment of reflection didn't last long as he shook his arm a bit to ease the pain, because while the area around him was enveloped in smoke, a glow emerged above him, and he saw Sengoku appear in his Buddha form, using his palm above him, spinning a shockwave and sending him flying back a few meters while keeping his feet to brake the advance.

"This is not going to be easy," Luffy murmured, but soon a glimmer arose in his eyes thinking about this situation. "This is also a good opportunity to learn and evolve." Quickly, he activated his moa moa no mi ability, enhancing strength and speed to increase his learning 100x.

Luffy sensed the presence of the two in front of him within the smoke with the ground in ruins since the start of the dispute with the two and charged rapidly against the giant Buddha, Sengoku quickly sensed this and placed his palm against Luffy, generating a blast of flames with the fleet of his beast, but he began to lose, being driven back.

It also didn't help as Garp appeared at his side and punched him again, feeling his arm bone break with his grandfather's fist trying to protect himself from him. "Why did you suddenly get so weak?" Garp was a bit surprised by this, after all, his grandson should withstand that blow.

Despite the pain, Luffy did not complain and his body was sent to the excavated ground; he was taking a big risk, but he didn't want to miss the opportunity to learn from it, he quickly used Eikon healing and began to recover instantly.

"Luffy?!" Lucy shouted without knowing what was happening inside the smoke that Luffy, Garp, and Sengoku had created, but she knew that Luffy was having some trouble in the end.

"Let's go, we're almost there!" Robin commented as one of the vice admirals in front of her also helped the Marines in the last line.

"We're not going to let you through!!" Tsuru said, she was doing her part and more vice admirals began to emerge, Dalmatian, Cancer, Yamakaji, Strawberry, Doberman also landed with the Marines.

"The vice admirals are helping us!!" The Marines gained some morale, but in the next moment, all 5 admirals had to defend themselves against Hachi, Nami, Shirahoshi, Chouchou, and Bepo, who attacked appearing behind Robin and Lucy.

"This is bad!!" Tsuru frowned as she looked around, a fight between the vice admirals and the Straw Hats in giant forms began. "Isn't there anyone weak in this crew?!" She couldn't help but murmur as she saw the vice admirals start to lose the advantage to some of them and others managing to hold them equally.

"Ms. Tsuru!! Please! Let me through to save Ace!!!" Lucy exclaimed as she approached the vice admiral.

"Sorry, girl, but I'm fighting against the pirates, it's a pity you chose this side, you could have been the future of the navy..." She commented sadly to Lucy. "But now we are enemies and I intend to stop you." She stated finally.

"Luffy told me that I can make my own justice without needing the navy, so I won't let my family die!" She exclaimed, advancing with gear second, but was quickly struck by Tsuru and thrown to the ground.

Robin saw this and quickly crossed her arms. "Seis Fleur!" She exclaimed and two arms appeared on the executioners next to Ace, while their necks were broken and two final hands emerged on Ace, who barely had time to react with one of those hands catching the key thrown by Luffy.

She immediately grabbed the key and fitted it into the hole of the chains that held the prisoner.

Everyone with good haki to see the situation, Garp, Sengoku, Akainu, Kizaru, Kuzan, Kong, all the vice admirals, and many other officers, had their throats choked at that moment.

On the pirates' side, it was different as all those who knew what was happening on the other side of the smoke explosion created by Luffy and Garp wore a big smile on their faces.

The next moment, Robin turned her hand and unlocked the chains that held Ace.
