"STRAW HAT!"

"WHAT IS THAT WHITE FORM??"

"HE’S HUGE! BIGGER THAN A GIANT!"

Countless Marines screamed in terror, staring at Luffy’s form—larger than any giant, a pure white warrior.

The Marines who had seen Luffy’s Nika form during the war against the Big Mom and Beast Pirates had all been wiped out. The current batch of Marines had never seen it before. Many had even assumed the photos on his wanted poster were a misprint.

But seeing it in person—they finally understood just how monstrous the new Emperor’s white warrior form truly was.

Not only had he turned the entire environment into rubber, completely neutralizing all their heavy cannons, but his sheer size dwarfed even the Giant Vice Admirals of the Marines.

The more knowledgeable Marine officers broke out in a cold sweat.

A body this massive... it was the size of an Ancient Giant!

<><><><><><><><>

"STRAW HAT!"

Gion, Chaton, Momonga, and the numerous other Marine HQ Vice Admirals were drenched in countless beads of cold sweat.

THIS HAKI IS TOO STRONG.

Just by standing there, he robbed them of all courage to even attack.

This new Emperor’s combat power and Haki were even more monstrous than they had imagined. Putting aside Sky Sovereign Rowen... Straw Hat Luffy was arguably the fastest-rising, most terrifying pirate of this generation.

In just two years since setting out to sea, he had become an Emperor, his combat power and Haki reaching this horrifying level.

The one who felt this most deeply was Gion.

She still remembered back in Alabasta, when Straw Hat was just an insignificant little character compared to Sky Sovereign Rowen. Back then, he hadn’t even learned Haki—she could have captured him with ease.

But in less than two years, everything had changed.

Before Straw Hat’s Haki, she couldn’t even muster the courage to attack, to even draw her sword.

<><><><><><><><>

"Stand down. You are no match for Straw Hat."

A voice of iron-blooded justice rang out.

"FLEET ADMIRAL!"

Gion and the others looked over to see Akainu slowly walking over from the rear.

A look of shame crossed their faces.

During the Summit War, even with super-pirates like Whitebeard, Silvers Rayleigh, and Rowen appearing one after another, Former Fleet Admiral Sengoku had remained in the rear, commanding the battle.

He had only stepped in at the very end when Rowen’s power grew abnormally, Admiral Aokiji was killed, and their forces were insufficient.

But now, the Marines didn’t even have a single fighter who could face Straw Hat. They had to rely on their supreme commander, Fleet Admiral Akainu, to confront him.

For them, this was a true disgrace.

"Shishishi! Akainu!" Luffy grinned, laughing cheerfully as he saw Akainu appear.

"That form of yours is a complete mess, Straw Hat."

GURGLE! GURGLE! SIZZLE!

Akainu’s arm had already completely transformed into violent magma, which dripped to the ground, scorching the earth and assimilating it into magma.

"What is that form?" Akainu’s eyes were cold.

"Shishishi! You’ll find out after we fight!" Luffy laughed.

"HMPH! JUST A DEFEATED FOE!" Akainu’s expression was icy, his magma fist beginning to boil.

He had fought Straw Hat during the Summit War.

Back then, Straw Hat had to use his so-called Gear Fourth, stacked with an initial mastery of Haōshoku Coating—just to barely fight him. And his stamina and Haki drained so quickly that he couldn’t maintain that form for long.

Straw Hat was no match for him then—and Akainu would make him understand, that he was still no match for him now!

This wasn’t arrogance. It was a necessity.

As the supreme commander of the Marines, the Fleet Admiral, with all three of his Admirals lost—

HE HAD TO WIN THIS FIGHT AGAINST STRAW HAT.

<><><><><><><><>

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Akainu roared, pushing his Magma-Magma Fruit’s ability and his Armament Haki to their absolute limits.

With a single punch, the terrifying energy made the surrounding atmosphere seem to distort.

After becoming Fleet Admiral, Akainu’s combat strength had increased slightly. Becoming the supreme commander of the entire Marine had given his ’Disposition’ a new boost.

Akainu’s Armament Haki, already formidable due to his extreme sense of justice and his peak physical condition, had become a contender for the strongest Armament Haki of the era, second only to Rowen.

Now, benefiting from the spiritual strength that came with his new position, his Armament Haki had grown even stronger.

However, Armament Haki was still just Armament Haki. It wasn’t Conqueror’s Haki. No matter how strong it became, it only demonstrated immense ’solidity’, not the explosive, tyrannical power of a Conqueror.

This was reflected in a lack of attack power.

Though Akainu had the Magma-Magma Fruit to compensate—the fruit with the highest attack power of all...

BUT—

<><><><><><><><>

"Shishishi! Gum-Gum... White Pistol——!"

Luffy laughed cheerfully, his right fist shooting out.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Luffy’s fist and Akainu’s magma fist collided in mid-air.

The next moment...

CRACK!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A terrifying, violent, tyrannical energy erupted from the point of impact.

Gion and Chaton struggled to coat their bodies in Armament Haki, but they were still pushed back relentlessly by the storm of energy.

The Vice Admirals further back couldn’t even fully withstand the aftershock of the clash. Cold sweat poured down their foreheads, and some of the weaker ones were forced to one knee.

"THIS ISN’T A BATTLE WE CAN PARTICIPATE IN! GET OUT OF THIS BATTLEFIELD, GION, NOW!"

Chaton roared at Gion.

Just the aftershock was draining his Armament Haki at an alarming rate. If this continued, his stamina and Haki would be completely depleted before he even had to fight any of the other Sky Sovereign commanders.

They no longer had the right to stand on this battlefield.

Gion and the others, though reluctant, knew it was the truth. They could only grit their teeth and retreat from the battlefield.
