Overwhelming Strength

Hancock and the others looked up at Felix while gasping for air. He looked down on them with a small smirk. 

"Word of advice." 

Felix walked away from them and sat on rubble close by. 

"When you come at me, put everything on the line to take me down; especially your life." 

He pointed at the ground. 

"Otherwise, you'll always find yourself graveling on the ground." 

Luffy sprung to his feet and flew at Felix. 

El Niño and La Parca blocked his path. 

"Woah, woah. You can't just fight the final boss without going through the Mid Bosses first." 

El Niño mocked. 

"I'll beat you all!" 

Luffy's arms grew and hardened. The two readied for his attack. 

"Humming Missle!" 

Jessie flew past him and hit La Parca with a kick. La Parca stumbled back as Jessie disappeared. 

"Grizzly Magnum!" 

Luffy's attack hit them unguarded. 

"Ugh?!" 

They blocked his attack with a groan. Astrid leaped from behind him. 

"Raging Current!" 

A burst of water rushed at them. 

"Using seawater to nullify the clones, huh?" 

Felix smirked as the water hit El Niño and La Parca. They flew through the water and hit Astrid. He blocked their attacks with his hardened arms. 

"Unfortunately for you, we don't have that kind of weakness." 

El Niño smirked until butterflies appeared around them. 

"Ballet of the Monarch." 

Slashes came at them from every angle, cutting and slicing them without mercy. Caria appeared above them with her swords in her hands. 

"But you still bleed don't you?" 

Blood flowed from the wounds on their bodies. 

"I guess we all do." 

El Niño formed a pyramid with its hands. 

"But some more than the others." 

Its body started glowing. 

"Rupture." 

El Niño erupted in a massive explosion which hit Caria. 

"Ugh?!" 

She was thrown back with a groan. La Parca flew out of the explosion and straight at her. It threw a punch aiming at her throat. Caria was pulled out of the way by her collar. Hancock stepped forward and blocked La Parca's attack with her leg. She gritted her teeth from the pain. Astrid popped up at La Parca's flank and slammed his fist in its side. Water pierced through its body. La Parca swung its elbow at Astrid's head. Astrid blocked with his arm. 

"?!" 

A piercing sensation came from his stomach. He looked down a saw a blade coming from under La Parca's cloak. It retracted from his stomach and went back inside the cloak. Hancock slammed her leg on La Parca's temple and floored it. Astrid stumbled back holding his stomach. 

"Astrid!" 

"Hancock!" 

Astrid and Hancock looked up. Luffy was riding on Jessie's back. Seeing them, everyone created some distance. Luffy leaped off Jessie with his arms expanding. Jessie dove down while coating his body in haki. Jessie started spinning and accelerated further. 

"Heavenly Drill!" 

With a boom, Jessie crashed into La Parca. Before the dust settled, Jessie distanced himself and a shadow cast over La Parca who was struggling to get up. 

*BAM* 

A giant fist slammed on top of it. Another one quickly followed as the other withdrew. 

"Ohhhhhh!" 

Luffy roared as he rained down devastating punches from the heavens. The area shook vigorously as the crater La Parca was in rapidly expanded. The barrage of punches continued for nearly a minute before halting. Luffy retracted his fists and landed on the ground. When the dust settled, La Parca's body was completely dismantled. 

"Wow." 

A round of applause came from behind them. There they saw El Niño and another La Parca standing beside Felix. 

"I'm impressed. El Niño is one thing, but it's been a while since La Parca needed to be replaced." 

Felix smiled as he clapped. 

"El Nino just ran away leaving everything to me." 

A female voice came from La Parca this time. 

"It can't be helped. She cut all of my ligaments, I had to die. Besides, I always said I'm not meant for battle. I'm pushing my limits here." 

El Niño was now a little boy. 

"Please, you two. No arguing in front of the guests." 

Felix stood up. 

"Since you both lost, I guess it's my turn." 

Everyone tensed up readying for Felix to make his move. He took a step forward. 

"?!" 

An ungodly pressure fell on all of them. They were rooted to the ground and their bodies started rattling. With every second that passed, it became harder to breathe. 

"W-What is this?" 

Hancock couldn't comprehend what was happening. It was only a step and yet it felt like the world fell on top of her. 

"Is this his fighting spirit? Is this his Haki?" 

The smile had fallen from Felix's face. Only the expression of a warrior was there. He slowly lifted and clenched his fists in front of him. 

"Now, show me your resolve." 

"Ohhhhhh!" 

Luffy let out a roar waking everyone else from their daze. Hancock looked towards him. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, yet he was still roaring. It was as if he was rebelling against Felix's fighting spirit, as if he was rebelling against the fear trying to creep into his heart. 

"Never again..." 

Memories of that fateful day in Sabody flashed in his mind. The day he had no choice but to order his crew to run. Rage started building up in his heart as he glared at Felix. His image overlapped with the three admirals. 

"Never again!" 

He entered Gear Second and flew at Felix. 

"Luffy, wait!" 

Hancock shouted at Luffy. She blinked and Felix vanished from where he was. She blinked again and Luffy was grabbed by the face and slammed into the earth. 

"Luffy!" 

She kicked off the earth and flew at Felix. Her eyes flashed red. He leaned back to avoid a kick and grabbed her leg. 

"Wha?!" 

"You're not the only person who can see the future." 

He lifted her overhead. Caria popped up at his side. She slashed at his neck. 

"?!" 

Her eyes widened as he blocked her swords with his fingers. He slammed Hancock on the ground so hard it broke open. Caria attacked him again. His fist slammed into her blades before they could fully swing. The blades shattered and his fist slammed into her chest. 

"Guh!" 

Caria was blasted away with blood spraying out of her mouth. 

"You!" 

He looked down. Hancock's free leg thrust at his face. The kick hit Felix point blank. 

"Hardening to protect yourself from the impact in such a short time." 

However, Felix wasn't the least affected. 

"Great skills, but…" 

He lifted Hancock again. 

"You not there yet." 

He spun around swinging Hancock. Luffy, who was flying at his back, started to panic when Hancock was positioned in front of him. He dug his feet in the ground to stop himself. Felix vanished leaving Hancock floating in the air. 

"Ugh?!" 

Luffy was kicked in the stomach and blasted away. Hancock hit the ground a second later. She hardened her arms and legs and rolled into a ball. Felix popped up in front of her and kicked her off the ground. 

"Oh? She's getting better at seeing the future." 

He looked over his shoulder. 

"You two should follow her lead and grow as you fight." 

He ducked under a flying kick from Jessie and spun around to trade punches with Astrid. He hit Astrid in the chin and rocked his brain. Jessie circled around and flew at him again. Felix spun around and threw a punch. Jessie changed out of his bird form and slid under it. He sprung to his feet and blocked a backkick. Felix turned around and blocked a hook. He punched at Jessie's stomach. Jessie lifted her knee to block. He replied with quick jabs. Felix blocked them with his palms before kicking out. Jessie hardened his stomach and took it. He held Felix's leg. Felix jumped off his pivot leg and swung his leg at Jessie's head. Jessie ducked underneath it and released Felix's leg. He stepped in with an uppercut. Felix caught his fist before it could fly towards his chin. 

"...…" 

The two locked eyes. They separated when Astrid slammed his fist in Felix's sides. 

"To give such a strong attack despite being rocked moments earlier…" 

Felix kicked Astrid in the stomach. Astrid stood his ground while gritting his teeth. Jessie rushed at Felix again. 

"My apologies." 

Felix chopped his hand down. A cut appeared across Jessie's torso. 

"You two indeed can grow as you fight too." 

"Ahhhh!" 

Jessie roared as he threw a punch. Astrid moved to match him. Felix ducked under the punches moments away from being hit. He lightly tapped them in the midsection with his fists. 

*Bam* 

A fist print appeared in their stomachs. Their knees buckled and they fell to the ground as Felix straightened up. 

"Back already?" 

Caria, Hancock, and Luffy surrounded him. 

"Good. Your resolve is still strong. You can still fight." 

"Of course we can!" 

Luffy hardened his fists with haki while breathing heavily. 

"We're gonna kick your ass for everything you've done." 

"Big words…." 

Felix coated his arms in haki as well. 

"But can you back them up?" 

"Watch me!" 

The three of them rushed Felix at the same time. The first to reach him was Luffy. He fired a barrage of flaming punches. Felix replied with quick punches. Fire danced around them as their fists clashed. Caria popped up at his flank. She slashed at his feet. He leaped over it. Hancock hit him with a flying kick. Felix flew back and flipped in the air. Before his feet touched the ground, Luffy was right in front of him with his arms stretched behind him. 

"Eagle Ba-" 

He was kicked under the chin before he could finish his attack. Felix landed on the ground and blocked another flying kick from Hancock. The earth cracked underneath him as he dug his feet into the ground and canceled out the attack. Hancock spun midair and swung her leg at his head. He ducked under it. He stooped down to see Caria's blades swinging up at his face. His head was flung back after being hit by the blades. 

"Jet Stomp!" 

Luffy stepped in his chest and forced him back. Hancock chased after him while focusing her haki on her legs. She flew at him with explosive force. 

"Perfume Femur Magna!" 

Felix crossed his arms in front of him. Hancock's kick hit him and forced his feet off the ground. His body was blasted away, flipping in the air. 

"Rush him!" 

Hancock shouted. The three of them chased Felix who was still airborne. 

"At least you weren't just running your mouth." 

Felix kicked the air and flew towards them. They accelerated and so did he. They flew past each other throwing attacks. Felix landed behind them and started walking off. Luffy, Hancock, and Caria all crashed into the earth. Caria's swords were shattered, and cuts were all over her body. Bruises covered Hancock's legs. As for Luffy, there were fist prints over his chest and stomach. 

"Oh, I forgot." 

Felix stopped and looked at them. 

"Judicial Arts: Quick Justice." 

He continued to walk away. 

"I can't believe I forgot to shout my attack name." 

He walked over to the rubble El Nino and La Parca were and sat down. 

"What did I tell you earlier?" 

He looked at everyone who was lying on the ground before him. 

"When you come at me, put everything on the line to take me down; especially your life." He smirked once again. 

"Otherwise, you'll always find yourself graveling on the ground."
