Third Person POV
Marineford, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
In the midst of all that situation, an explosion occurred the next instant, sweeping across the entire battlefield. Saturn, being the closest at the time, was the first to receive it.
The explosion invaded all sides of the destroyed square, catching both the Whitebeard pirates and the Straw Hat crew members. Hancock still held Lucy as she moved away, quickly turned back, placing her hand a bit forward to shield herself from the wind created by Luffy, while her hair was thrown backwards. Lucy also looked dazed into the distance, not knowing what was happening.
Hachi and Bebo suddenly began to shrink, losing Luffy's ability and trying to shield themselves on the ground. The same could be said as ships began to fly out of Luffy's pocket, starting to grow and falling in the middle of the square. Nami and Kuina, already tired and injured from fighting Saturn, returned to their normal forms. Vivi, Nojiko, Alvida, and Baby 5 were there nearby the others, feeling the wind Luffy was creating.
"Luffy-Sama!!!" Shirahoshi exclaimed frightened to Luffy. She was still quite scared seeing the sight of the man she loved in a near-death state. Tears streaming with the wind blowing her hair.
Zoro also jumped to his companions amidst the chaos, while looking at Chochou, Hugo, and Chopper, lying on the ground. "We need to get them," he said, his voice slightly muffled by the wind.
At that moment, the wind began to swirl stronger, with yellow and red lightning simultaneously exploding in all directions. The marines felt it soon after, while trying to hold firm. The vice admirals, a bit recovered but still injured, looked dazed towards the end of the square closest to the bay.
"What is this?" Tsuru murmured next to the fallen vice admirals, as Yamato fought against Kizaru, looking towards Luffy. "He's okay..." Yamato said with a heavy heart, after having seen him being pierced, but he could do nothing at that moment as he was still fighting Kizaru.
The three noticed Luffy passing by them at high speed, with no one even able to react.
"What is this? What fear..." Kizaru murmured with a real sense of fear this time.
Lami and Usopp, fighting against Akainu, also felt the wind and haki at that moment, as Akainu looked on with narrowed eyes. Luffy's companions wondered what was happening to him at that moment.
Kuzan, Reiju, and Marco were also hit by the wave of Conqueror's Haki, which passed beyond the gap that Whitebeard had created, moving to the other side of the square. Meanwhile, the rest of the marines, mostly with Sengoku and Garp, looked from a distance as Garp stood up and stared wide-eyed, his shoulder sagging. "Luffy," he murmured, not understanding what was happening there and how his grandson had changed so much.
Even Sengoku, who was standing, looked wide-eyed. Whitebeard, who was knocking down Teach again as he screamed in pain, felt the impact of the Conqueror's Haki, along with Teach's other crew members shielding themselves from the wind, as the strongest man in the world turned to look at the start of the square.
This Conqueror's Haki was not limited just to that space. It began to explode more, spreading throughout all of Marineford, and advancing into the sea while generating opposing waves pushing the sea back. Thunders resonated throughout the place, with Armament Haki and echoes of thunders from a time.
"This is much more powerful than the 7 users together. What is happening to this boy?" Whitebeard murmured, surprised by Luffy's incredible sudden strength.
Meanwhile, Saturn stood there, still firm, but still looking at that dazed. Luffy was in a transformation, while his skin turned purple as in the hybrid phase, this time, there were red symbols and a tongue that seemed unknown to anyone. It began to wrap around his entire body; his size was the same as the hybrid phase he had, but he felt that, instead of increasing his strength six times, it had multiplied by at least about 30 times, Luffy felt his personality change because of it, since, when a fruit awakens, he ends up assuming the form of the beast he completely ate.
Luffy continued to release his Haki as his head began to rise, starting to stare down Saturn in front of him. His observation Haki had evolved, and he foresaw the future, seeing the future where Hancock had been pierced and likely killed along with her two daughters. This was enough to drive any man out of his sanity.
Luffy looked at him as if he were the worst enemy to appear in his life. Luffy, who had already killed mercilessly, wanted to make this man suffer like no other he had fought. He wanted to make the man burn and scream. He wanted to make him regret having messed with him, he wanted to show this inferior being what happens when someone tries to destroy his descendants.
"You're going to die here," was the only word Luffy spoke while Saturn, although surprised, would scoff at what he heard. But the next moment, Luffy simply disappeared and Saturn felt his face being buried; the next moment, Luffy's punch seemed to even break reality as the space around him began to distort, burying the punch in Saturn's face, increasing his strength and speed two hundred times each.
A millisecond later, the entire area exploded, enveloping the entire square in cracks and debris flying into the sky as if someone was digging, and everyone there was caught by the attack, Saturn disappearing flying with just one punch to the face of that elder. And suddenly, the entire bay exploded with him piercing the ground while continuing to fly downward.
Nobody really saw what happened; they only saw the explosion emerging. Not even Zoro, there, could see, being the most proficient in Haki. Everything happened without anyone being able to react, after all, a millisecond had passed since Luffy advanced.
Saturn felt his nose and face cracking as he exploded, moving directly to the sea outside the ice. He didn't even know what was happening.
And he couldn't even react with something breaking the ice near him and advancing as it surpassed, Luffy traveled the ice without any resistance, while his own body emitted a layer of heat burning the ice as if it were a sword piercing soft sand in an instant, since his flames had entered another level, entering the form that could consume matter with its high heat, corroding everything around him without even needing to touch it. He practically flew.
And as soon as Saturn tried to regain consciousness once again, he felt the impact on his back breaking all his bones and flying again, exploding that area. The entire ice of the bay suddenly exploded upwards with the force of Luffy.
Everything happened in just two or three milliseconds while Luffy threw it to the bay and exploded the entire bay. No one could understand anything or even have a thought with all that happening, still trying to recover from the first attack that blew up the entire square while the bay and the ice flew everywhere. The bodies of the other Tenryuubitos and unconscious Kong also flew to the sky with the ice.
Luffy had destroyed the entire bay of ice with a single punch, while the sea wanting to fill that waterless area, quickly wrapped against it. But as soon as it reached, it suddenly vaporized at the same instant without being able to touch him, generating an explosion of vapor. But he did not stay there for long, since he had to make that elder suffer more.
Saturn was sent out towards him like a broken doll, flying above the ice, reaching 3000 meters in less than 0.001 seconds. And as soon as he opened his eyes, Luffy was already there preparing to deliver an uppercut to him while his space distorted, stronger than any other.
The punch was so powerful the next moment, that a part of the elder's mass simply disappeared from his body, while all the clouds around also vanished with just that punch, generating an impact so powerful that it emitted pressure in all directions. Saturn was sent flying towards space at a speed that no one could follow.
The people of Marineford were still reeling from the square being destroyed by Luffy's first punch, when it suddenly stopped the next moment, as the impact of the third punch sent all the ice crashing back down instantly, causing everything to crumple under a pressure that no one knew where it came from.
The entirety of Marineford felt the impact, as pirates and marines fell to the ground from the pressure coming from the sky, and even the sea itself was descending. The Tower of Justice simply sank, exploding into the ground along with the entire city.
"What is this?" The strongest marines still managed to speak, but they were lying on the ground feeling the pressure crushing them.
"..." Garp was there unable to keep up with everything, trying to withstand the pressure of his grandson with his knees on the ground to avoid being like most of the marines crushed as their bodies seemed to bend against the concrete.
The division commanders, Admirals, and even the Straw Hat were on the ground, unable to move; the strongest could still be in a better position, but even Whitebeard, the most powerful in the world, was kneeling at this moment, looking at it with wide eyes.
The entire sea of that area had been buried to the point that Marineford was showing its structure below it, from the earth to the concrete built. It was a surreal scene for everyone there. Buggy and all the prisoners were being crushed and frightened as they screamed and even the den den mushi seemed to shrink in its recording. Everyone watching had expressions from a second ago, after all, all this happened in less than a second. The pressure exploded and began to spread to all sides of the sea, while the clouds disappeared into the sea.
Saturn was gushing blood as he flew among the clouds towards the planet's atmosphere. He didn't even know what was happening, it all happened in an instant and he didn't even have time to feel the pain of his shattered body at that moment.
Luffy reappeared in front of him and punched him once more, and another impact explosion occurred 200,000 meters from the sea, creating another impact while the elder flew towards the sky. They passed through the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, with Luffy feeling the temperature drop to -90 degrees Celsius, entering the thermosphere where the temperature increased and finally they reached the exosphere, the temperature was so hot in this layer, not that it bothered Luffy, but the elder had flames over his body.
Saturn couldn't even enjoy the view of the planet he had now, with the entire orbit in front of him, close to finally leaving the planet's habitat and entering space.
Luffy quickly followed him, with each step of his geppo, he was tens of kilometers away, and saw that the elder was beginning to regenerate his body. "It's time to end this," he said as he approached the elder, clenching his fist as he began to accumulate flames, much more than any attack Luffy had ever attempted.
He delivered a punch while Saturn could only watch, his death coming in a way he couldn't have imagined when he left Mariejois, because Luffy simply struck him, the entire space around began to distort, beyond the force, he had accumulated his emission and coating of the king's Haki.
Saturn's body shattered, as he was sent directly into space, with the purple flames generating a beam like a comet flying out of the planet carrying the remains of Saturn's body.
This attack was so powerful, that the pressure once again descended downwards and exploded all the clouds in the sky and created more pressure at the point below Luffy, being Marineford, the entire sea below once again and everyone fell to the ground the next moment.
Unaware of the chaos he had created thousands of kilometers below him, Luffy looked ahead, the entire world of One Piece was in front of him... he felt that his power was now on another level... that he could kill anyone he wanted in this world, but he also knew that this was temporary and had a price.
He sighed and simply moved downward, disappearing the next moment. In just a few steps, Marineford under his pressure was in sight; he quickly advanced and landed on the island, but his landing simply broke the pressure and the entirety of Marineford began to rise at that moment, all arms of the moon in its bay rising to the sky, throwing numerous pirates and marines around, while another part of Marineford also rose, exploding everything.
People behind the screens began to look at it in shock. No one knew what to say about it, and what exactly was happening. It all happened in 2 seconds since Luffy's first attack on Saturn, making everyone there feel between high and low in such a short time.
The entire chaos took a while to stabilize as Marineford had its axes twisted with raised parts, while the sea returned to its normal level, but this caused chaos throughout the sea.
People in Sabaody looked to one side with a rumble coming, and suddenly a powerful wind hit the island, like all the islands around Marineford. This was the impact of the first punch on Saturn taking him to the sky. A moment later, another explosion came from Luffy throwing Saturn into space, while everyone in the world could see a purple comet in the sky, seeming to move away from the planet.
People screamed in fright, wondering if what they were seeing was real; no one could reason what they were seeing. Amidst the chaos, the dust settled and Luffy was in the middle of the raised place.
Everyone looked at him with fear. "This is not possible, what kind of power is this?" people commented, whether they were marines or pirates, looking at him with conflicting feelings, it was almost as if they had seen a God among mortals. Luffy just kept looking up at the sky, searching for any sign of the Elder in that comet, if he was still alive.
The entire world was shocked by this, and at that moment, Dragon was advancing while landing on one of the raised arms of Marineford's bay, but no one even paid attention to him because everyone was focused on Monkey D. Luffy, or whatever that was now.
