Invincible Nika? Calling for Backup!

Jinbe's attention was drawn by the unfamiliar presence that had suddenly appeared on the battlefield. When he turned around, he saw Luffy, his entire body wrapped in white mist.

"What happened?!"

What had happened to Luffy was far beyond Jinbe's expectations. He had never imagined that Luffy, who had clearly lost his ability to fight, would actually be able to stand again in such a state.

And as he carefully sensed the Haki emanating from Luffy's body, Jinbe's expression turned exceptionally grim.

Strong. Very strong!

The Haki emanating from Luffy was even more powerful than before. Jinbe had no idea what was supporting Luffy, allowing him to give off such a soul-shaking aura despite such grievous injuries.

Faced with all the strange changes happening to Luffy, Jinbe became vigilant. No longer paying Sanji any mind, he silently tucked the handcuffs back into his rear pocket and focused all of his attention on Luffy.

"Whew—"

A fierce gust swept past, dispersing the white smoke surrounding Luffy. The scrawny little boy had undergone a tremendous transformation. His black hair had turned into blazing white flames, like fire burning fiercely.

His red vest had also turned snow-white, and a ring of white Flame Clouds wrapped around Luffy's body, supporting him as he floated in midair.

"An awakened Zoan Devil Fruit?!"

Luffy's current form felt very familiar to Jinbe. He clearly looked like a Zoan Devil Fruit user who had awakened. The only difference was the color of the Flame Clouds surrounding his body.

The Flame Clouds surrounding ordinary awakened Zoan Devil Fruit users were black, while the Flame Clouds surrounding Luffy were white.

At the moment Luffy was driven into a desperate corner, the Nika Fruit finally revealed its true form. The Devil Fruit's power not only restored Luffy to his peak condition,
