As they saw Oars appear on the screen, everyone felt that Luffy's chances of winning were growing slimmer.
Most of those who had chosen Moria to win the battle were secretly delighted at this moment.
Even though they were still unclear about what rewards they would receive for choosing the correct option.
But choosing the right answer, at least, wouldn't be bad...
"Luffy..."
Ace looked up at the sky, his face revealing a hint of worry.
In Fushia Village, many villagers were either shocked or dumbfounded.
They couldn't imagine that Luffy would face such an enemy!
As for Luffy, apart from his widened eyes, his expression seemed unfazed, as if he wasn't afraid at all...
[Luffy leaped out from the ancient castle, his face full of anger as he looked at the crumbling castle.]
[As for Usopp, Zoro, Nami, and the others outside, they were all dumbstruck.]
[All because Oars' destructive power was too terrifying, having absorbed Luffy's shadow, he now had Luffy's personality and fighting style, which was enough to give anyone a headache!]
["Gum-Gum Rocket Launcher!" Luffy, driven to the extreme, directly launched an attack at Oars.]
[However, this powerful attack seemed to have no effect on Oars, not even causing a splash, and it didn't do any damage.]
[Not only was Oars incredibly strong, but he also had thick skin and was now a zombie, devoid of pain. Luffy's attack on him was like scratching an itch, and it made no difference!]
[Luffy seemed to realize this and decided to use even greater power...]
["Gear Second!"]
[Suddenly, his body was enveloped in countless steam, a high temperature covering him, making Luffy turn red all over...]
"Is this...?"
Everyone at Marine Headquarters was stunned.
Akainu's face showed disbelief.
Including Sengoku and Garp beside him, their expressions were identical.
Kuzan couldn't believe it, "Could this be... Devil Fruit development?"
"Could it be that Straw Hat has already developed his Devil Fruit abilities to a certain extent?"
Everyone present couldn't believe it...
Especially Devil Fruit users like Doflamingo, Kuma, Akainu, and Kuzan.
As some of the strongest people on the sea, they were also Devil Fruit users.
They knew better than anyone how terrifying Luffy's displayed ability was...
Devil Fruit users were not rare, and they could be found all over the Grand Line.
However, it was challenging to find people who had developed their own fruit abilities...
Only by reaching this level could they prove that they had mastered their abilities and were heading towards the pinnacle of their powers.
Even the most useless fruit, once developed, would show astonishing power!
"Straw Hat's fruit, if I'm not mistaken, should be a Paramecia type."
"And it looks like... it doesn't seem very useful."
Akainu and Kizaru spoke, their words somewhat disdainful.
After all, they believed that Luffy's fruit wouldn't have too high a limit...
[As Luffy used his hands and feet as pumps to accelerate the flow of blood, his body's strength and power rapidly increased!]
[He clenched his hands into tiger claws, using the rubber's stretching ability to pull them back...]
[After a sudden build-up of force, a determined and uplifting voice echoed throughout the area!]
["Gum-Gum Jet Bazooka!"]
[At this moment, Luffy's hands were like rocket launchers, moving at an incredible speed with terrifying force towards the front!]
[Under Oars' puzzled gaze, he didn't dodge or avoid it, taking the full force of the attack head-on!]
[Boom!]
[The deafening sound echoed, and under Luffy's Gear Second mode, Oars' massive body was finally pushed back.]
[Even under this terrifying power, he fell backward!]
[This scene surprised everyone present, their eyes filled with joy as they realized Luffy had succeeded!]
[Seeing his attack succeed, Luffy didn't hesitate and started to press the advantage!]
[One after another, swift attacks were unleashed from his hands, continuously bombarding Oars!]
[Perhaps because Oars had merged with Luffy's shadow, their personalities were identical, making Oars seem somewhat slow-witted, even more so than the real Luffy...]
[In the battle, Oars was completely one-sided, taking hit after hit. Although these attacks weren't fatal, they restricted his movements!]
[At this point, the battle seemed to be tilting in favor of the Straw Hat crew...]
"Luffy..."
In Fushia Village, Dadan and the others couldn't help but smile as they watched.
From the beginning to the end, they had been on edge watching the battle.
Luffy and his friends were being suppressed by Moria...
Now, the tide of battle had finally turned, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.
However...
Before they could continue to celebrate, the battle took another turn.
This time, the situation for Luffy and the others became even more dangerous...
