Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]

Third Person POV

Marineford, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

Lami heard Luffy and nodded; finally, the moment had come for them to leave Marineford. She quickly began to create her room, expanding it across the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Luffy couldn't help but look at his father there, keeping Garp and Sengoku occupied, while the ships were starting to leave the bay. He nodded at that and began running towards the end of the plaza, feeling Momonga appear beside him with his sword. He was quite injured, but that was normal after all his wounds on the battlefield.

Luffy only had his body's abilities at that moment, with his Devil Fruits losing their effect. His cloak was all torn at this point, and he quickly discarded it while Momonga cut the cloak, with Luffy using it as a decoy.

Momonga saw Luffy appear right next to the cloak, surprised as he received a punch coated with Luffy's Haki. The Vice Admiral flew back at that moment, exploding the ground.

Luffy resumed running through the destruction, shirtless. "We won't let you get out of here!!!" Another Vice Admiral, Strawberry, tried to cut him while he moved his body, seeing the future, and turned his body, with the knife passing by his side.

He was about to punch seeing the opening, but quickly turned to the side as someone appeared with Soru and punched him with Haki. Tsuru hit Luffy, crossing his arms while falling back and exploding the ground.

But Luffy quickly started running again. "We have to stop him!" Tsuru exclaimed, still standing in place, seeing Luffy pass by another side.

"I won't let you go, Mugiwara!!" Dalmatian appeared at that moment, ready to punch him.

"I want to see you try." Luffy, despite being beyond his limit after the fights, ran while advancing with emission Haki. A clash between the two fists made the area explode, and Luffy began to gain the upper hand.

"This...?!" Dalmatian quickly felt himself being pushed back before flying away.

"We have to stop him!!! He can't get out of here alive. You saw the power he showed, but now he's in a weakened state!! We must stop him at any cost!!" Exclaimed the other Vice Admirals.

"Let's stop them!!!" The low-ranking soldiers who stayed on that side and could still fight exclaimed while starting to aim at Luffy. He saw this and quickly unleashed Conqueror's Haki in that area, making everyone fall unconscious.

'I am forcing my Hakis too much... I will have to use only the Six Styles...' Luffy thought while passing by the fallen marines and reaching the edge of the precipice Whitebeard had created, with the plaza forming a V due to the explosion Luffy created when landing from space.

He jumped and started using Geppo to rise into the air. At that moment, Tsuru, Doberman, Strawberry, Cancer, Mozambia, and giant Rear Admirals with Commodores attacked Luffy while he dodged blows from guns, abilities, and blades trying to hit him.

Luffy used Geppo, Soru, and even Tekkai to hold back the blows and avoid using Haki. Luffy turned to them all and showed his fingers in a pistol formation. Several Shigan were fired, hitting some of them and throwing them back.

A giant tried to hit him. While dodging, Luffy launched a Rankyaku with a kick, throwing the giant away with his weight, exploding the ground. While this was happening, several cracks appeared, and waves of Haki began to destroy the ground due to Whitebeard's fight against Kaido and Dragon's fight against Garp and Sengoku.

Luffy started dodging the blades of some Vice Admirals using Soru and Geppo quickly, finally landing on the other side of the gap and beginning to advance towards the bay again, running. Another Vice Admiral tried to hit him from the side, but he dodged, and Tsuru appeared again, with Luffy making a move at the last second. However, a third Vice Admiral managed to hit him with a Haki punch. Even being dragged with his arms crossed, Luffy didn't waste time and regained his balance before continuing to run while the Vice Admirals quickly ran after him using Geppo.

The Vice Admirals were no longer at their peak, so they weren't a powerful enough challenge to stop Luffy, even together and with him no longer using his Devil Fruits.

A vice-admiral landed in front of Luffy, who attacked as he dodged the blow and grabbed the opponent by the arm, pushing him over his shoulder and throwing him on top of the other vice-admirals who were coming after. But Luffy didn't stop there. He simply pointed both closed fists at the man still suspended in the air and falling backwards, launching a strike.

"Rokuougan!!!" He unleashed the seventh technique of the six styles for the first time in battle since he learned it.

The tips of his two fists generated a vortex explosion, hitting that vice-admiral, whose eyes turned white in the next moment as he fell defeated and advanced towards his companions, with the explosion hitting all the other vice-admirals at that moment, throwing them back.

Luffy sighed a bit and kept running. Now there were low-ranking soldiers and admirals fighting against his companions on this side of the square.

"Lami!" Luffy exclaimed, now able to enter the space she created.

Lami heard Luffy and quickly started moving everyone inside her space with the Ope Ope no Mi. She, Usopp, Marco, Reiju, Enel, and Yamato disappeared with Luffy, reappearing at the edge of the square, near the exit.

The ships now in the middle of the sea were starting to depart, all full of pirates leaving the square, but there were more ships at the edge of the bay where other pirates could take them. Even the Moby Dick, which had fallen after Luffy exploded the ice in one corner, the Whitebeard pirates began to fill it as they reached it. This also happened with the marine ship that the prisoners from Impel Down had come on, with them on the ships and Buggy still filming Marineford from that angle.

The admirals saw the seven fleeing and did not stand still. They quickly began to move, with Kizaru appearing in the sky and launching light rays downward. Enel also fired lightning bolts, which clashed with the light, but it wasn't enough. Since some flashes of light came out through the gaps, and the lightning exploded all over the ground. Lami again used her power and made everyone disappear from the attack, reappearing a little further away, closer to the bay than before.

At that moment, Aokiji created an ice barrier between them and the sea, but Reiju and Usopp started firing fire and light rays while exploding the barrier, creating a breach that delayed them only for a few moments, as they passed through it.

"Come on, we're almost there!" Luffy said, and the next moment, he looked back, seeing a rain of lava falling on them.

"Kizaru, you know what to do," Akainu exclaimed.

"I should separate one of them, right?" Kizaru commented in his comedic tone.

All the Straw Hats stopped at this moment as they began to strike the lava rain falling on them. Lightning, light, and fire mixed, and Luffy helped by punching with his custom shigan, launching vacuum waves by punching the air.

It was at this moment, as Lami was about to teleport them again, that Kizaru appeared in the middle of them. Before they could react, he kicked Luffy, who shot to the side of the bay, only having time to cross his arms, while Kizaru was quickly hit by several members who struck him in the next moment with anger, sending him flying back, with blood spilling several meters away. He exploded the ground with his body and did not get up from there, making the marines wonder if he had been defeated like that, which was no surprise when he moved amidst so many haki users.

"Luffy!" his companions exclaimed, but quickly an ice wall reappeared, separating them from their captain.

Luffy saw this from a distance, trying to get up still hurt. "Go away. I'll find a way," he shouted, as a lava explosion happened next to him, with Akainu walking up to him calmly.

"You seem to have lost all your strength," Akainu taunted with a deadly gleam in his eyes.

Luffy stared at him with narrowed eyes. "I'm not afraid of you even in this state. And what can I do? I just faced several forces at the same time, unlike you, a coward who likes to scheme but runs away when cornered," Luffy mocked, despite not being in a very favorable position against Akainu.

"You talk as if you're still going to get out of here alive. I will kill you for daring to kill a Tenryuubito and an Elder. You are a greater threat than anyone else who has appeared in this world, and I will be the one to destroy you," Akainu said, positioning himself as a kind of hero, but Luffy wanted to laugh at his hypocrisy.

The Straw Hats tried to destroy the ice barrier, but new ice walls emerged, as Akainu was determined not to let them pass, not even attacking them but ensuring they were kept separated.

"This is an order from your Captain!" Luffy suddenly exclaimed again. "Return to the ships and leave the bay!!" He wanted to reinforce this, as his companions didn't seem to obey him.

They nodded hesitantly, but they had no choice but to obey their Captain. Lami disappeared with the others while Luffy sighed.

Luffy faced Akainu, keeping a smile. He could no longer use healing on his body, while he was bruised in various parts. Suddenly, Luffy's den den mushi started to ring. "Can you give me a second?" Luffy mocked Akainu, as an explosion of lava occurred right where he was, making him jump back.

Another lava strike, from a giant fist, tried to hit him, but he dodged and grabbed the ringing den den mushi and answered it.

"Luffy, come here immediately!" Nami exclaimed, her face on the den den mushi looked scared, but it wasn't that simple.

"LUFFFYYY!!!!" Another voice emerged, Luffy heard the tone of concern in Hancock, seeming like she was feeling unwell.

"Luffy... Luffy!" Lucy seemed scared.

"Luffy!!! We're coming!!" Ace exclaimed.

"Wait a little longer, captain!!!" Zoro said.

"No..." Luffy said calmly, dodging another blow from Akainu, careful not to touch any drops of lava. "I want you to stay there, but I need a favor, pass the den den mushi to Bepo," he requested.

"Captain," Bepo said immediately, now without his Black Power, looking scared and worried.

"Bepo, remember when we talked before coming here? That thing I asked for?" Luffy said, as Bepo seemed to hesitate. "Yes, Captain."

"I want you to do exactly that," Luffy said.

Bepo had everyone else looking at him confused, while he seemed hesitant, looking towards Marineford. Luffy had asked him to mark the island with his power as soon as they touched the square.

He raised his hand and pointed, while all of Marineford suddenly started to tremble. Initially, those there thought it was Whitebeard's power, but even he was looking surprised at this, and Marineford was not just shaking but starting to levitate. The heart of marine justice, now a broken V-shaped structure, began to rise, separating from the solid land and staying suspended in the air while it continued to ascend.

Sengoku looked worriedly at Garp and the other marines. The island began to levitate, and this appeared to the whole world, as Buggy continued filming from the ship they had boarded. The whole world saw the final unfolding of the war.

As the island continued to rise, Luffy looked satisfied, and Akainu seemed quite frustrated.

"Let's continue," Luffy looked at Akainu. "It's time for you to pay, with no way to escape this time," he said, closing his eyes.

'I need one more second of my powers, it's all I ask...' he murmured, opening his eyes, which became redder, staring at his prey in front of him. Akainu would suffer as Luffy began to transform again.
