Nika Form

"What's going on... I shouldn't be able to stand up anymore, right?"

Luffy murmured to himself, his whole body began to throb, his jet-black hair gradually turned pure white, and white mist began to emanate from his body.

"Hey Luffy! What's going on with you?!"

Ace was getting anxious and grabbed his shoulders, shaking him hard, but the latter seemed not to hear or feel anything at all, and just let out intermittent laughter.

"How strange~ Hehehe~ Hahaha~"

Luffy stood up, his whole body limp and swaying from side to side, as if he had no bones supporting him and was about to fall over at any moment.

White, ribbon-like clouds of flame began to rise and entwine around his upper body, even turning his eyebrows into thick, curly shapes.

The powerful Conqueror's Haki materialized into solid black and red lightning, ran rampant, even affecting the environment and shattering some stone pillars.

"I don't know why... I've become cheerful! Hehehe~ Hahaha~"

Luffy leaped into the air, his figure appearing so unrestrained in the moonlight.

Have you ever seen Luffy like this?

Ace looked at his brother's unfamiliar appearance, took a few steps back, and looked at the Straw Hat Pirates members.

"I've never seen it before."

Zoro kept his eyes fixed on his captain; he didn't care what form he was in, as long as he was safe.

"Could this be... the Awakening of Devil Fruit power?! He hadn't Awakening before?!"

Yamato, who was still in his Okuchi no Makami form, was a little stunned because the Straw Hat Kid's current crazy appearance was somewhat similar to his own when he first Awakening.

"Are you sure he ate the Rubber Fruit? As far as I know, only Zoan Devil Fruit User experience a drastic personality change upon their first Awakening."

Lucci sensed that powerful aura, he felt a sense of unease and resentment.

The opponent's strength seemed to have surpassed his own at this moment.

"It's the Rubber Fruit, right..."

"No! I've seen an old Devil Fruit Encyclopedia; there's no such thing as the Rubber Fruit in the world!"

As Nami was answering, a strange old man's voice suddenly came from behind her.

The space behind them suddenly cracked open, and Nolan and the others emerged from it. Vegapunk stared wide-eyed at the figure leaping through the air.

"What a graceful pose... Bear! Bonney! Look, that's the legendary White Warrior, the Sun God Nika!"

"He ate the legendary fruit, the Zoan- Zoan - Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nika Form!"

His hands trembled slightly with excitement as he nudged the father and daughter beside him, but to his surprise, they didn't react much at all.

"So this is Nika... It really is you, Straw Hat Kid..."

The person he had been so eagerly anticipating was now right in front of him; it was impossible for Xiong not to feel any emotional turmoil.

Upon seeing the real person, he was somewhat disappointed.

Can a hearty laugh make someone a savior?

In his eyes, Nika should be a warrior who brings smiles to others.

"That annoying brat is Nika? I'm more inclined to believe Cifer's that expressionless guy, Cifer, lol~"

Bonney then made a face at Luffy, Vegapunk suddenly felt like a country bumpkin in the city.

"Well, I didn't understand, but it's good that Luffy is alright."

Ace touched the hat on his head and felt relieved.

"Hahaha~ This is my peak! Cifer ~ I can keep fighting you!"

Luffy had fully regained his senses by this time, and as he bounced on the ground, he launched his unfinished challenge once again.

"It seems the increase in your abilities has given you a lot of confidence."

In the blink of a Luffy, Cifer was in front of Luffy.

"What are you doing? Ouch! Hahahaha!"

He was startled and retreated, rolling on the ground.

At the same time, the places where its body rolled over also began to become as elastic as rubber.

"Gomu Gomu..."

Luffy was about to throw a punch, but before he could even shout out his move, Cifer's whip kick had already slammed into his face.

"Ouch!"

He kept saying it hurt, but everything he flew into turned into rubber the moment it touched him, bouncing him around repeatedly.

"Here I come!"

After multiple accelerations, Luffy arrived beside Cifer in an instant and then unleashed a punch.

"So fast..."

The latter was also somewhat surprised. He raised one hand to try to block the attack, but was forced back several steps by the powerful force.

"It's not over yet, it's not over yet..."

Like a springy man, Luffy bounces and leaps between various stone pillars, using Cifer's position as the center, launching all sorts of unreasonable attacks.

"That Cifer can only passively defend! Could it be..."

Nami covered her mouth, seemingly seeing a glimmer of hope.

"Don't overthink it, Cifer isn't serious."

Before she could finish speaking, Lucci poured a bucket of cold water over her head without any mercy.

"Cifer is the strongest!"

Chopper licked the marshmallow and agreed with Lucci's statement.

"Got you?"

At this moment, the situation also changed.

After a series of defenses, Cifer had fully grasped Luffy's strength and grabbed his arm when he launched another attack.

"Pop~"

When Cifer slammed him to the ground, unexpectedly, the ground instantly turned into rubber, and Luffy was bounced into the air again.

"This ability is just too shameless..."

Even Cifer were somewhat speechless about this.

"Watch me!"

As Luffy stretched out his arms in the air and touched the ground, he lifted it up like a blanket and covered it with Cifer hands.

"Cero".

Cifer raised his index finger and blasted through the entire land, the flash grazing Luffy's cheek.

"Damn it..."

Luffy kept leaping, using the elasticity to fly into the sky, and in an instant, lightning and thunder began to flash in the clouds.

"Gomu Gomu Thunderball!"

When he reappeared, he actually grasped the lightning in his hand as if it were material, and then continuously threw bolts of lightning down onto the ground.

"What a ridiculous ability. If Enel were here, he'd probably be furious again."

With a flick of his finger, Nolan lifted the entire group from the ground, taking them away from the battlefield and into the sky to observe.

"Bang!"

As Cifer dodged, lightning continued to strike the ground, causing explosions, but the pillars of lightning did not disappear.

They are like irregularly shaped pillars reaching into the clouds, enclosing the Cifer within them.

"Wuhu~"

Seeing that the lightning couldn't hit his opponent, Luffy charged down the lightning as if he were running, his right arm constantly rotating 360 degrees to gather power.

"Boom!"

The two fists did not collide, but they produced a loud clashing sound, and black and red lightning continued to sweep across the land.
