"You idiot..."
Nami's voice was choked with sobs, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"It was so worrying..."
Luffy was a little dazed from being hugged, and scratched his head:
Nami, why are you crying?
"I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
Chopper pounced on Luffy, transforming into his reindeer form, and cried as he checked Luffy's body with his hooves.
"Fully recovered! How is that possible!"
Chopper gasped as he examined the wound, tears welling in his eyes like a small fountain.
" Luffy, your heart stopped beating just now! I thought you were dead!"
"I thought I was dead too."
Luffy grinned.
But it came back to life! Hehe!
Robin, Franky, Brook, Usopp arrived one after another and surrounded Luffy.
Usopp's legs were still shaking, but he forced himself to say:
"I was just thinking, you'll definitely be alright... probably..."
Brook sheathed his staff-sword, a relieved smile appearing on his skull face.
" Luffy- kun, that form you just used really gave my soul a jolt."
Zoro walked up to Luffy and looked him up and down.
White hair, white clothes, and that carefree smile.
"Why has your hair turned white?" Zoro asked. "Is this some new technique?"
Luffy tilted his head, clearly unable to explain himself either.
He just felt very happy right now, extremely happy, so happy that he wanted to jump around and laugh out loud.
"I don't know! But I feel amazing right now!"
Kid walked up from behind, glaring fiercely at Luffy, his voice forced out through clenched teeth:
"Aren't you about to die?"
Now it's lively and energetic again, trying to fool me!
"Hehehe! Kid, you're alive too!"
"Nonsense! You think everyone acts as recklessly as you!"
Law stood a short distance away; the power of the Op-Op Fruit had already been withdrawn.
He looked at Luffy's new form, his brows furrowed slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
His Op-Op Fruit allow him to detect the most subtle changes inside the human body.
At this Luffy's body is working in a way never seen before.
The cells are incredibly active; each cell is like a tiny balloon filled with energy, full of elasticity.
Is this the state of the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit Awakening?
Luo thought to himself.
He looked down at his hands. What would the Op-Op Fruit look like after Awakening?
At this moment, in the square,
While everyone was distracted by Luffy's Awakening, Fujitora secretly activated the Press-Press Fruit.
The blind man's cane gently tapped the ground, and purple ripples of gravity silently spread toward the Ryokugyu.
As long as the gravity ripples touch Ryokugyu, he can teleport Ryokugyu to him.
Then they retreated with the Ryokugyu.
Just as the gravitational ripples were about to touch Ryokugyu, an irresistible force descended from the sky.
The Gravity Domain.
The two forces of gravity collided, and Fujitora's purple ripples were instantly crushed.
That was a crushing defeat in terms of hierarchy.
Fujitora's gravity is a power granted by his Devil Fruit, while Roy's Gravity Domain comes from his complete control over his mental power—pure, precise, and unshakeable.
Fujitora's expression changed.
He felt his Press-Press Fruit power being completely suppressed within Roy's domain.
It was like a wave crashing into a steel dam, shattering into nothingness.
Roy stood in mid-air and glanced in Fujitora's direction.
"Trying to pull a trick right under my nose?"
He flicked his finger lightly.
Telekinesis, an invisible hand lifted Ryokugyu's aged body from the ground.
Ryokugyu was swept up by Telekinesis like a lump of mud and flew towards Jhin's camp.
Jhin immediately stepped forward, caught Ryokugyu himself, and secured him tightly with Seastone chains.
Extensive Seastone chains bound the Ryokugyu from head to toe like a rice dumpling.
The moment Ryokugyu was bound by the Seastone chains, his last bit of strength dissipated.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything; he could only let out hoarse gasps.
Roy glanced at Sengoku and Fujitora.
The small Buddha figure from the Sengoku period flickers, and the golden halo on its chest is much dimmer than before.
After Fujitora's gravity field was suppressed by his domain, his movements became noticeably slower.
The current state of these two is perfectly manageable for Jin and his team.
Roy withdrew his gaze and turned to the top of the Skull Hall.
There, Luffy is reuniting with his crew.
Roy saw Luffy's white hair and the white smoke rising from his body.
I saw black and red Inazuma that kept flickering even in the crowd.
Sun God Nika.
Joy Boy's successor.
The Devil Fruit Awakening, which had been planned for so long, has finally come to fruition.
"It's time to check the results," Roy said in a low voice.
With a slight movement, he vanished from his spot.
The next second, they were already dozens of meters away in mid-air.
Using his Telekinesis, he propelled his body like a black Inazuma, hurtling rapidly towards the top of the Skull Palace.
Sengoku's heart skipped a beat when he saw Roy's actions.
Garp is still there. The Navy has already lost an Admiral, Garp absolutely cannot afford to suffer any more losses.
"Keep up!" Sengoku shouted in a low voice.
He and Fujitora set off almost at the same time.
The miniature Buddha left a golden trail in the night sky as Fujitora, propelled by his Gravity Press-Press Fruit, rose into the air and turned to chase after Roy.
Seeing this, Jhin immediately ordered, "Keep an eye on Ryokugyu! The rest of you, follow me!"
He unfurled his fiery wings, transformed into Pteranodon, and chased after it like a burning arrow.
Queen and Jack followed.
The Flying Six members also displayed their unique abilities— Ulti and Page One used Geppo, Sasaki used his Triceratops body to carve a path through the ruins, Black Maria walked on the rock wall as if it were flat ground in high heels, and Foz F. left a trail of afterimages in the air with Geppo.
The three forces regrouped atop the Skull Hall.
······
Roy reached the rooftop first and landed lightly beside Kaido.
Kaido carried the Hassaikai on his back, his dragon tail swaying gently behind him.
He still bears the scars left by Garp, but those wounds are healing at a visible rate.
He didn't look tired at all; on the contrary, he seemed even more excited than before.
"What's going on?" Roy asked.
Kaido raised his chin and pointed in the direction of the Straw Hat Pirates:
"That's just how it is."
The Straw Hat Boy's appearance suddenly changed drastically; he'd been grinning like an idiot ever since he woke up.
He paused, lowered his voice, but his eyes were full of excitement:
"However, judging from the Conqueror's Haki he just unleashed, this kid's current strength should not be underestimated."
Roy nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on Luffy.
Even from a distance of tens of meters, he could clearly see Luffy's current form.
White hair and clothes, with the unique Flame Clouds Awakening Zoan story floating behind him.
And there's that pulsating power, like a heartbeat, that you can feel even standing here.
