[Chapter Size: 1954 Words.]

Third Person POV

Goa Kingdom, East Blue.

...

...

Luffy, transformed into his mythical Zoan form of Ifrit, exhibited an imposing presence in the skies. His flaming armor gleamed with increasing intensity, while his Ifrit horns stood out against the purple backdrop of his skin. The chaos flames danced around him, seeming to come to life on their own.

As he launched himself back into the confrontation with Garp, Luffy demonstrated surprising agility, propelled by the multiplication of his speed by the Moa Moa no Mi and the application of the newly-learned Soru technique. His body, surrounded by flames, cut through the skies with extraordinary skill.

Garp, in turn, faced his grandson with a serious gaze, aware of the remarkable evolution Luffy had achieved in recent months. He might still have some doubts about these powers, but there was no denying what was before him. The radiance of the flames reflected in his eyes, highlighting the grandeur of the imminent clash.

The first blow exchanged in this new phase of the confrontation reverberated through the skies, creating a shockwave that made the air vibrate and distorted the landscape around. The flames clashed with Garp's Haki-coated fist, creating a visually stunning spectacle.

The spectators in the audience and on nearby ships watched attentively, absorbed by the intensity of the duel between the grandson seeking to conquer the seas and the grandfather seeking to restrain the path he tread. The stage was set for another chapter of this epic battle in the skies of the East Blue.

The thunderous sound of punches and bursts of flames echoed through the skies, creating a chaotic symphony of brute force and supernatural abilities. The collision between Luffy and Garp was a true manifestation of power, determination, and the inheritance of a lineage connected by blood but divergent in their path choices. The atmosphere was electrically charged, each movement being a visible expression of this epic family battle.

In a moment that seemed to freeze time, the world watched as the two titans exchanged furious blows and supernatural movements. The chaotic dance in the sky was an impressive visual representation of the rivalry between a grandson aspiring to conquer the seas and a grandfather determined to restrict that destiny.

Luffy, now transformed into his second mythical Zoan form of Ifrit, dove into the fight with surprising agility. The chaos flames danced around him, creating a luminous spectacle that contrasted with the backdrop of the sky. His body, enveloped in these flames, moved like a gust of wind toward Garp.

The newly-learned Soru technique allowed Luffy to perform evasive movements and quick attacks, a clear expression of his newly acquired mastery. The fierce battle was only beginning, and the world was captivated by the magnificence of this clash in the skies of the East Blue.

Garp murmured as he dodged his grandson's blows, carefully observing each peculiar movement. "Your powers are really strange. You clearly have a mythical Zoan, but your speed is increasing at a much higher rate than normal..."

While fists clashed and chaos flames danced in the air, Luffy, on the other hand, quickly analyzed the situation amid the intense fight. His thoughts were a whirlwind of strategies and reflections. "Damn... I'm barely scratching the surface of this fight. My natural strength is classified as B, and by transforming, I reach a rank A state. If I enhance my strength with the Moa Moa no Mi, I would reach S level, but I'd still be below my grandfather, who likely boasts strength at SS or SSS level. Not to mention the other stats where I would lose an advantage by using the Moa Moa no Mi to boost my speed."

Even in the face of this perceived disadvantage, Luffy continued to confront Garp with determination, his sharp mind seeking a strategy that could level the playing field and exceed the expectations placed upon him.

Luffy decided to intensify the battle by unleashing a sequence of skillfully choreographed blows. With each punch, chaos flames erupted, creating explosions that filled the space between him and Garp. Each explosion was a manifestation of the intensity of the conflict, a physical representation of the fierce struggle between grandson and grandfather.

Garp, in turn, reacted with agility, skillfully dodging the explosions and responding with powerful blows. The dance of fire and punches filled the skies, forming a visual narrative of a clash between two titans. With each explosion, Garp's strength was felt, but Luffy persistently sought ways to overcome this inequality.

As explosions illuminated the sky, and the crowd in the city and the Marine fleet watched with wide eyes, marveling at the grandeur of the epic clash between the Pirate Captain and the Marine hero. Even the residents of Goa were not immune to the spectacle, looking up at the sky above all the ships, where the two combatants created impressive explosions.

On the deck of the Black Pearl, the crew watched the battle with a mix of surprise and admiration. Reiju, Lami, Hugo, Bepo, Usopp, Hachi, Nojiko, Shirahoshi, Kuina, Zoro, Yamato, Nami, and Megalo shared their impressions in the face of the grandeur of the duel.

"This is way beyond us..." commented Reiju, observing the power spectacle, showing her surprise at the magnificence of the battle.

"I can't disagree with you..." added Lami, whose eyes were fixed on the aerial duel.

"That's the Marine hero. No surprise for someone who was Gold Roger's rival," pondered Hugo, with a thoughtful look.

"And to think that the captain is related to the Marine hero!" exclaimed Bepo, revealing a slight amazement.

"This fight is between monsters..." spoke Usopp, revealing a certain hesitation in his tone.

"What kind of human family is this?" questioned Hachi, feeling a certain unease.

"Luffy..." whispered Nojiko beside him.

"Luffy will be fine! Don't worry!" affirmed Nami, maintaining unwavering faith in her captain.

While the epic aerial confrontation between Luffy and Garp unfolded in the skies, Yamato, now acting as vice-captain in Luffy's absence, watched the battle attentively. Her keen eyes noticed a new threat emerging on the horizon, adding complexity to the situation.

"The fight is ongoing, but it looks like the Marines are moving in our direction," warned Yamato, her voice laden with seriousness. Everyone on the crew turned their attention to the Marine ships, advancing determinedly toward the Black Pearl.

"We must hold them off until Luffy returns from his confrontation with his grandfather!" declared Yamato, taking a firm and decisive stance. Faced with the imminent threat from the Marines, she led the group with confidence in the absence of their captain. While the clash in the skies between Luffy and Garp continued, the crew was prepared to face the challenges looming on the horizon.

This stretch of the ocean, once the exclusive stage for the battle between grandfather and grandson, now transformed into a field of multiple conflicts. Cannon shots echoed through the air, creating a symphony of destruction. The Black Pearl, now the target of the Marines, sailed fearlessly through the projectile storm from 50 ships.

Onboard, Luffy's crew reacted swiftly. Yamato took a defensive posture, using her abilities to create a sturdy barrier. Zoro, Lami, Reiju, and Nami coordinated efforts to evade enemy attacks and counter when possible.

Meanwhile, Luffy, still engaged in combat with Garp in the skies, sensed the growing threat to his ship. His eyes narrowed with determination, and he knew it was time to face not only his grandfather but also the challenges the Marines were throwing at him and his crew.

"If you blink, you'll miss it, Luffy!" Garp shouted, his warning echoing across the battlefield.

Propelled by overwhelming force, Garp unleashed a powerful punch directly to Luffy's face. The impact was cataclysmic, triggering an explosion of force in the air. The sound of the punch reverberated like a thunderous roar, while the chaotic flames surrounding Luffy's fists seemed to momentarily flicker in the face of Garp's immense concentrated strength.

Luffy's face was thrown backward, leaving a luminous trail of dissipating flames in its wake. Garp's expression remained serious and determined, showcasing the intensity of the devastating blow he had dealt. Impact by the overwhelming punch, Luffy soared through the skies like a wayward bullet but, with impressive agility, regained control and stabilized in the air.

"What a punch..." Luffy murmured, adjusting his jaw after the brutal impact.

"I told you to pay attention to our fight!" Garp reprimanded, materializing in front of his grandson with the Soru technique. Luffy had to go on the defensive instantly.

"Damn, grandpa, you're a monster!" Luffy complained, skillfully dodging Garp's powerful blows.

"Luffy, stop the cursed brat. You've gotten so strong; you should have followed the path of an admiral. Why did only Lucy follow the right path in this family!?" Garp exclaimed, delivering powerful blows against his grandson.

Meanwhile, Garp muttered to himself. "This family... so stubborn, but so full of potential." He unleashed increasingly intense blows, demonstrating combat skills befitting his reputation as a Marine hero.

Amidst the exchange of blows, Luffy seized an opening and launched a series of explosions towards Garp, trying to gain some advantage. The explosions illuminated the sky, adding an extra layer of aerial spectacle to the already epic battle.

His grandfather attacked again, and Luffy skillfully evaded Garp's formidable attacks, whose overwhelming strength cut through the air. While punches and explosions filled the air, the intense exchange between grandfather and grandson continued.

"Grandpa, how is she? Is she causing a lot of trouble in Marineford? I miss her too..." Luffy had to ask, his words intertwining with his defensive movements.

Garp, between punches, growled in conflict, expressing pride and concern for the family that defied Marine norms. "She's no different from you in that regard, but at least she's becoming a fine Marine! Unlike you and Ace, and you manage to be even worse than Ace, darn grandson!"

As the battle unfolded, Luffy, in addition to facing physical attacks, absorbed Garp's words. "I hope she's okay; I really want to see her..." He didn't hide his feelings, his emotions blending with memories of the body he now inhabited.

"Don't worry about that; she's here too..." Garp murmured, adding a punch to Luffy's chest, marking a moment of conflict and connection between two generations of a family bound by blood and challenging decisions.

"She is?!" Luffy raised his voice quickly amidst the impacts of blows and aerial explosions.

"Speaking of the devil, she's already coming..." Garp commented, his gaze turning to the tumultuous horizon.

As the battle continued, on the deck of the main ship in the naval fleet, a girl prepared to ascend to the skies. With agility, she positioned her arms on the sails, stretching like a cat about to pounce. In the next moment, she launched herself into the sky, propelling toward the epic showdown between grandfather and grandson like a rocket.

It didn't take long for the female figure to enter the combatants' field of vision. The intensity of the battle momentarily decreased, with even Garp halting his frenetic attacks to observe the imminent arrival of the girl.

She appeared before Luffy, who looked at her with a mix of longing and surprise. Clad in a Marine uniform, resembling a lieutenant or captain, the girl had an unmistakable face, a strikingly feminine version of the original Luffy himself. Her features were a lively reminiscent of the Straw Hat Pirates captain's face, enhanced by a femininity that added a new layer to the familiarity of the countenance.

"Brotherrrrrrr!!!" She shouted, her voice echoing through the skies as she approached.

"Lucy!!!" Luffy exclaimed, his eyes shining with joy at seeing his sister.

"Long time no see, brother!"

"You have weird powers, what kind of transformation is this? But it's so cool!" She said in the air, her eyes shining like stars as she expressed her fascination.

"Brother, you've become a pirate! I'm going to arrest you!!" She demanded, a mix of determination and playfulness in her expression.

"Hahahaha, I'm waiting, Lucy!" Luffy laughed, ready to receive his sister's charge.

"Take this then! Gomu Gomu no..." She began to stretch her arms, preparing to show her own version of the familiar elastic techniques.
