All-Out War on Hachinosu!
Hachinosu Harbor
Luffy's pink Dragon Breath attack had just ended, and the sea was still churning with heat and dust.
The Marine warships, seizing the opportunity, swiftly entered the Harbor like sharp swords, their hull suddenly coming to a halt—
"Login--!"
Gion's cool voice was firm and resonant.
Hundreds of Navy Elite surged ashore like a torrent, their steps thundering like war drums. Long swords were drawn, shields formed a wall, and the Light Sword instantly cleaved through the Pirates ' chaotic defenses!
Hawk's eyes flashed with a cold light as he slammed his fists into the ground with tremendous force.
"Impact!!"
The impact, amplified by the Haki Impact, transformed into a visible ripple wave that swept across the land, cracking the ground like a spiderweb and sending rubble and dust billowing into the sky. More than ten marines were directly blasted away!
High on the bow of the ship, Ace's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit. His right arm transformed into a blazing fire dragon, and he unleashed Shockwave.
"Fire Fist!"
"Boom!!"
Flames and Impact collided in mid-air, and the explosive firewave swept across both banks, Shockwave dozens of Pirates into the sea.
In the firelight, Hawk's pupils suddenly contracted. "Fire Fist... Ace?!"
Ace's lips curled into a slight smile, flames erupted from his legs, and he streaked through the air like a meteor, charging directly into the enemy ranks.
In the blink of an eye, he had closed in on Hawk, his punches so hot they seemed to ignite the air!
On the other side, Rumba had transformed into a ten-meter-tall Ancient Zoan, the Giant Armored Turtle Form, its shell as black as iron, its eyes gleaming with ferocity.
"Giant Armor Crash!!"
His body crushed the ground like a chariot, tearing apart the marines' defenses along the way!
However, the Battlefield suddenly went dark.
Rumba felt a chill run down his spine and abruptly looked up—
High in the sky, a Pink Dragon over 500 meters long coiled and swooped down, its scales gleaming with a cold light, and its eyes burning with a fierce fighting spirit!
"Dragon Fang Bite!!"
"Snap--!"
Luffy's massive jaws clamped onto the edge of the turtle's shell, and with a twist of his dragon body, he sent the Giant Armored Turtle flying off the ground!
Boom! Boom! Boom--!
The two colossal beasts rolled and crushed across the Battlefield, tossing and flattening Pirate soldiers like falling leaves, their screams echoing everywhere!
Rumba roared, his tortoise claws, imbued with Haki, gripping the dragon's neck tightly. "Rock-Splitting Claw!!"
"Sizzle--!"
A bloody gash was torn open on the dragon's scale, but Luffy laughed excitedly instead, "Again!!"
The Dragon Tail suddenly swept across—
"Dragon Tail Sweep!!"
"Bang--!"
With a dull thud, the Giant Armored Turtle was actually blasted directly to the center of Hachinosu, and the Shockwave from its impact shattered the surrounding buildings like a tidal wave!
In the center of the Battlefield, the battle between Ace and Hawk has reached a fever pitch!
"Boom--!"
Flames and Shockwaves raged wildly along the coastline, the smoke and fire turning the entire sky crimson.
Hawk's fists were as black as iron, his Armament Haki and the power of the Impact-Impact Fruit perfectly fused together, each punch carrying a terrifying Impact capable of shattering mountains!
"Impact - Earth Shattering!!"
He slammed into the ground, and the Shockwave spread out in a fan shape, instantly sending all the Pirates and marines along the way flying into the air!
Ace's eyes sharpened, and he crossed his arms—
"Blazing Wall!!"
"Bang!!"
A wall of blazing fire rose from the ground, abruptly blocking the spread of the Shockwave and engulfing its aftershocks.
Hawk licked his lips and grinned maliciously, "What? Feeling sorry for those grunts?"
Flames suddenly erupted beneath Ace's feet, propelling him forward like a cannonball.
"Enough talk... let's find another place to fight!"
"Explosive Flames and continuous attacks!!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom--!"
The fiery fists rained down like a storm, forcing Hawk back outside the battle zone at the Harbor!
Hawk roared and slammed his fists into the air.
"Impact and Rebound!!"
An invisible Impact barrier blocked the multiple Fire Fist, but the enormous recoil caused him to stagger back several steps!
Ace pressed forward, raising one hand and rapidly compressing and condensing the flames in his palm into a blazing white fireball!
"Flame Emperor - Yangyan!!"
"Boom!!"
Like a giant fireball falling from the sun, Hawk's pupils contracted sharply as he unleashed a powerful Shockwave to meet it!
Fire and Impact collided head-on, and the aftershocks of the explosion engulfed half of the Harbor!
Center of the island, beneath the Giant Skull Statue
"Boom--!"
Luffy's Pink Dragon form swooped down, slamming the ten-meter-tall Giant Armored Turtle Rumba directly into the base of the Giant Skull Statue, causing rocks to shatter and dust to billow into the sky!
However, Rumba slowly crawled out of the ruins, his tortoise shell without a single crack.
He raised his sinister eyes and grinned coldly. "Navy brat, is that all the strength you've got?"
Luffy eyes narrowed slightly, then a sudden, excited smile appeared on his face, "As expected of a giant tortoise, it's really tough..."
In the next instant, the Pink Dragon form rapidly compressed, its scales retracted, and its skeleton remodeled—
Mythical Zoan: Pink Dragon Mode - Human-Beast Form!
Luffy, half-dragon and half-human, has arms covered in dragon scales, five fingers that have transformed into sharp Dragon Claws, leg muscles that are as taut as steel cables, a tail that swings behind him, and cracks and rubble bursting from beneath his feet.
His fists were imbued with intense Armament Haki, and his eyes gleamed with burning fighting spirit.
"Then I'll—beat you to a pulp!!"
Rumba looked at the half-dragon, half-human brat in front of him and scoffed, "Human-Beast Form?"
"I'm Ancient Zoan of Turtle-Turtle Fruit user... my defense is invincible!!"
Rumba snorted coldly, his body suddenly leaning forward, the heavy tortoise shell crashing down like a mountain collapsing—
"Giant Armor Crush!!"
Luffy neither dodged nor evaded, but swung his arms fiercely—
"Dragon Bone - Meteor!!"
"Bang!!"
The Iron Fist clashed head-on with the tortoise shell, the deafening roar reverberating throughout the island. The Shockwave rippled outwards from the two men, cracking the ground like a spiderweb!
Rumba's expression changed drastically the moment they made contact.
"This power... something's wrong!!"
"Snap--!"
The faint cracking sounds were particularly jarring amidst the chaos of the Battlefield.
A crack was slowly spreading from the center of his prized tortoise shell...
On the coastline, Gion, wielding the Kompira, charged into the enemy ranks like a crimson Inazuma!
"Shuashua--!"
The sword energy poured down like a torrential rain, and any Pirate who stood in her way fell to the ground before they could even scream!
Her footsteps were steady and cold, as if stepping on the heart of an enemy, her gaze fixed on the figure on the high platform—
"Ochoku-- "
Every word she uttered was oppressive, low and cold. "Your turn."
On the high platform, Ochoku's face was as gloomy as the sea under a storm. His dark red captain's coat billowed in the howling sea wind, and his eyes burned with anger and killing intent in the bloody reflection of the chaotic Battlefield.
"A mere navy... how dare they turn Hachinosu into this mess?!"
His voice was so deep it was almost a roar, carrying the arrogance and domineering nature of a bygone era.
Suddenly, he stomped his feet, and the rocks below the platform shattered with a deafening roar!
He crashed down like a boulder into the center of the Battlefield, the Shockwave creating a cloud of dust that forced the surrounding marines and Pirates to Backtrack simultaneously!
His dark red coat billowed open like a blood-red curtain, instantly elevating his aura to a powerful, surging intensity, like a tidal wave.
"Gion... you will pay the price for setting foot on Hachinosu!"
Gion showed no sign of backing down; his sword was pointed Ochoku, his voice so cold it could freeze the air.
"Enough talk... let's fight!!"
