[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]
Third Person POV
Alabasta, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
As Luffy, in his Ifrit form, observes Titan Hugo in front of him, he can't help but notice the imposingness of the earth giant. Even in his Ifrit form, Luffy finds himself looking up, acknowledging the monumental scale of his opponent who was twice his size.
"Wow, Hugo, you're really tall like this, huh? But I can do better than this." Luffy would smile if it were possible at that moment, he wanted to test his combined fruits, and now with better control over Ifrit, he could test many of his powers, when he used his strength 40 times in his last punch, he himself was stunned with the power gain.
Now with a determined smile and a gleam of challenge in his flaming eyes, Luffy decides to take the battle to the next level. He activates the Moa Moa no Mi ability in an aspect he almost never used.
"Moa Moa no Mi: Mass, apply 4 times!" He used it on himself, the only time he did that was to sleep with Yamato, now he was testing it in a real battle.
Intending to use 10% of the fruit's growth on living beings, the flames around Luffy begin to stir more fiercely, and his body starts to grow exponentially. In a few moments, he reaches an impressive height of 200 meters, quadrupling his previous size. Now, as a true giant of flames, Luffy faces Hugo as a dwarf looking down, his presence on the battlefield more formidable than ever.
"This is what I'm talking about! Let's see how you handle this, Hugo!"
As Luffy increases his own stature to surpass that of Titan Hugo, becoming a 200-meter flame giant, the rebels who were previously advancing determinedly towards the capital now find themselves paralyzed by shock and disbelief since the arrival of the first giant. The sight of two beings of titanic size and power ready to face each other is enough to make even the bravest heart tremble with fear and want to flee from there.
"This... this is impossible! They're like monsters from some ancient legend!"
"We need to get out of here! We can't stay near this fight; it will be our death!"
"Forget the coup, I want to live first! Let's go!"
The horses, sensing the fear and tension of their riders, start to neigh and agitate, desperate to flee the scene now. The sound of hooves beating against the desert ground becomes a frenzy as the rebels try to move away from the area while bumping into each other as they leave the site where the two colossi are about to face off.
"Fall back! Everyone, fall back now! We are nothing before this battle!"
"Our weapons, our swords... none of that matters now. This is power that defies the very gods!"
"What kind of things are these? Why did they appear here and now?!"
As the rebels move away, some still cast fascinated and terrified glances back, unable to completely turn away from the scene. They whisper among themselves, questioning whether their fight for freedom has led them to a confrontation with forces beyond their understanding.
While in the fight between the two giants, the flames of Ifrit began to dance fiercely on his skin.
"Time to end this, Hugo. I don't want to hurt you too much, but I need you to come out of this wild state." Luffy murmured, despite his mouth not moving, his voice was heard.
*Crack!* The Titan seemed to have accepted the challenge as he positioned himself, breaking the sandy ground with his foot.
Luffy's flames intensify as he advances, gliding through the sand as if skating with his flames. Ifrit moves with an impressive speed for his scale, every tens of meters he passed, made the earth burn and tremble. Even in colossal form, Luffy's agility and dexterity are evident, a sign of how his control over the Ifrit form and his skills as a fighter were getting better and better.
As Luffy approaches, Titan Hugo prepares to face him. Despite his reduced size compared to Luffy, Hugo's presence is still incredibly powerful, the energy of the earth emanating from him as a palpable force. His eyes, though clouded by uncontrolled fury, show a glimpse of recognition upon seeing Luffy approaching, and his instincts are ready to act.
Luffy doesn't hesitate. He knows that the key to bringing Hugo back is to subdue him without causing severe injuries as he did with Nami. It's a delicate balance, facing a friend in such a wild state, but if anyone can do it, it's Luffy.
As Luffy draws near, the two colossi raise their fists, symbols of their strength and element; one accumulates flames in his fist, while the other creates a layer of earth as both launch against each other in a powerful and decisive movement.
The clash of their fists is cataclysmic. A shockwave radiates through the desert, causing the sand to rise in a storm, and the sound of the impact echoes like thunder, creating a wind that runs in all directions, lifting sand. Despite Hugo's formidable power, it is Luffy who prevails. His mass, amplified by the Moa Moa no Mi, makes Ifrit grow not just in size, but his strength and even defense is equivalent to his size, his Akuma no Mi is at an unprecedented level now.
The fist with the excess size presses down on the smaller one, and with a roar of flames and force, Luffy pushes Hugo back. The Titan is sent backward with tremendous force, flying through the air and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. His massive body crashes into the desert, causing the earth to tremble and split under the impact.
Luffy, after launching Hugo away, stands firm, the flames around him oscillating with his energy. He knows the battle is not over yet and needs to keep pressing to bring his friend back to reason.
Meanwhile, the rebels and other distant spectators watch the scene with a mix of fear and admiration. They have just witnessed a display of strength that defies all comprehension and logic in their lives.
*Craaaaaack*
The Titan begins to rise from the cloud of sand, looking at Luffy, but suddenly, balls of purple flames are sent towards him before he could act.
*BOOOOOOOOMMMM*
*BOOOOOOOOMMMM*
*BOOOOOOOOMMMM*
*BOOOOOOOOMMMM*
*BOOOOOOOOMMMM*
Luffy raised a hand, and flames began to be launched from it toward Ifrit with force, the flames exploded on the titan's chest, making him fall backward awkwardly as more flames exploded on him.
Luffy wastes no time after seeing Hugo explode backward, knowing that this won't deal with it alone; the Titan has more powerful strength and defense of the Eikons with his earth element. As the adversary tries to rise again, Luffy knows he needs to act quickly to bring his friend back to reason before more destruction is caused.
Luffy advances skating among his fire on his feet again. Luffy quickly is upon Hugo, but it's just the beginning, he quickly draws back his arm where he would initiate his beating of the Titan. Then he began to deliver his punches to the titan still on the ground with some of his flames.
With a series of precise and controlled blows, he explodes the ground with the titan still down, each impact accompanied by the roar of the flames and the resounding sound of his force colliding with Hugo's body of rock and earth. The desert around them becomes a chaotic battlefield, marked by the struggle between these two powerful beings.
Despite the fury and strength of the Titan, Luffy continues his offensive, blow after blow without letting the titan even get up, each punch and explosion designed to weaken Hugo and force him to revert his transformation. Luffy's flames illuminate the scene, casting a sinister glow over the fight.
The titan tried everything to get out of there, trying to kick and punch Ifrit, but Luffy now being twice his size, continued to withstand Hugo's uncontrolled powerful blows while the latter became increasingly injured by it.
Finally, after an intense exchange of blows, Hugo begins to show signs of defeat; his punches start to weaken as he still remains on the ground, Luffy hit him so much that he began to create a colossal hole in the area, lifting tons of sand.
Luffy realizes that he has finally given in and stops punching his opponent, the titanic form begins to falter and shimmer in brown, the energy sustaining it beginning to dissipate. Luffy, noticing this, concentrates his strength in one last powerful attack.
With a final roar and a decisive blow, Luffy strikes Hugo, and the Titan's transformation begins to undo. The colossal figure shrinks, the earth energy forming it dissolving into a cloud of dust and debris.
As the dust settles, Hugo is back in his human form, unconscious, but alive and, most importantly, safe. Luffy, now also returning to his normal form, approaches his fallen friend, a sigh of relief escaping his lips.
Hugo lay there in the middle of the crater they had created with his body all battered while having blood all over him.
"Sorry, Hugo. But I must say it was fun." Luffy couldn't lie, it was so satisfying to have a fight between megazords as he himself calls it, since he fought with Nami, he hadn't had any other experience like this, so he got excited after a fight with Hugo, especially since he proved to be much stronger with his combined fruits.
Around them, the desert is marked by the scars of the battle, a silent testament to the clash between the two Straw Hats. The fight is over, and now it's time to tend to the wounds and move on with their plans, Luffy looks at Hugo and thinks of the rebel army now distanced from the area after witnessing this fight.
He walked up to his companion on the ground and placed him over his shoulder multiplying his recovery by 30 times, he jumped with geppo out of the crater which should be at least 50 meters deep that was opened by pressing the Titan's body with the earth through punches.
Looking around, he saw all the damage caused, there were many flames still burning over the area, Luffy couldn't help but think of some important things with this.
'This fruit... it's really amazing. The Moa Moa no Mi isn't just about increasing size. I can multiply my strength, my speed, my endurance. It gives me so many options in a fight. In my colossal form, unlike the last time I fought with Nami and had to keep her in mind aspects not to lose control of Ifrit. Now I used it freely and was able to quickly fight against the Titan and defeat him.' Luffy thought.
'I can't imagine how strong I will make Ifrit with armament haki when I learn to use it, it will be interesting...' Luffy smiles.
He lands outside the crater and throws Hugo on the ground, giving him a slap as his usual way of waking people up.
"Hm?!" Hugo woke up startled.
"Good afternoon, sleepyhead." Luffy smiles at him.
"Hm?! What happened?" Hugo asked dazedly looking around at all the destruction and feeling his body all battered, he had broken his arm and many bones in his body.
"Yes, you lost control, but we'll talk about that later, first I want to deal with the rebels, let's go." Luffy speaks as he jumps into the air towards where the rebels fled and were regrouping, he just needed to talk to them because he knew his form of intimidation worked better than he thought.
"..." Despite being quite dazed, Hugo looks at his captain jumping into the air and follows him using geppo too since he doesn't have much choice.
