Chapter 231 - Enies Lobby 08!

[Chapter Size: 1600 Words.]

Third Person POV

Enies Lobby, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

The battlefield remained filled with the explosive sounds of dozens of fights happening simultaneously across the island, and Luffy kept an arrogant gaze upwards towards Akainu.

"Straw Hat..." Akainu growled at Luffy, seeing that maintained smile, which he responded to with a look of anger while his lava bubbled and he clenched his teeth.

This lasted until finally, both kicked the ground towards each other, moving at high speed. However, Luffy was now unleashing even more of his powers, beyond the Zoan form phase 2. He increased his speed, and his fist surprised Akainu by being faster than before. As he tried to dodge, the pirate hit him, sending him flying across the field of lava in the opposite direction through the air, at least hundreds of meters away.

The admiral began to stabilize in the air with geppo and already looked at Luffy with anger, but there was no longer any sign of the pirate, leaving Akainu confused. In the next moment, Luffy appeared above him using his maximum speed. Akainu went on alert and crossed his arms to defend against the possible attack. Even so, Luffy punched him without hesitation, and a giant explosion occurred in that area, pressing the admiral against the ground and causing everything to explode, even the marines around were surprised as the ground trembled with an explosion of debris and purple flames coming from one corner of the battle.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!

The ground shook as it cracked on all sides, creating fissures, while debris flew through the air. A moment later, as Luffy stood in the midst of that chaos and everything turned red making the earth transform into pure lava, Luffy looked around and an explosion from the ground came from in front of him, while Akainu appeared trying to punch him. Luffy placed his hand on top of the large lava fist but ended up being thrown back, slightly surprised by the attack.

He took the opportunity to stabilize in the air as he jumped and increased his height. Akainu finally emerged from that place, completely unscathed. He said nothing while just looking up from the ground. Luffy then raised his hands and created a large sphere of flames while the ball looked like a purple sun. His flames could not affect the admiral, but his intention was to distract him. As soon as he finished charging his solar sphere, he launched the attack directly into the ground while Akainu watched without worry.

"Let's see how this catches attention..." Luffy murmured, increasing the mass of the explosion by 50 times. The attack went directly through the ground like a missile, blinking and reappearing at high speed, and as soon as it reached, a gigantic explosion shook the island again, much more than anything until now. Even the fights between the vice admirals and the Straw Hat pirates were interrupted at this moment with the force of the impact.

Luffy was caught by the explosion of his flames and disappeared from the place, this was not to affect Akainu, who knew he was fighting against a Logia. As things began to stabilize, the lava started to gather and form the admiral. Luffy took this time to approach without Akainu being able to react. And when Akainu materialized completely, he quickly frowned surprised to see Luffy right in front of him as he punched him with a Haki fist. Akainu felt the hit, making him spit out a bit of blood, flying backwards and digging the ground.

"Damned pirate," Akainu let out as he felt the pain of the impact.

Luffy did not stop there; he followed the path to not let the admiral escape. However, as he approached, he felt the entire field transform into lava, and before he could react, everything exploded like a volcano. He was caught by the attack, and ended up giving up on his charge trying to escape from the place, returning to the sky while his body emitted smoke, from the lava bath he took. Despite still being quite resistant, Luffy could feel it a bit.

"Feel the justice and perish, pirate scum!" Akainu emerged from the destruction and began launching new giant lava fists towards Luffy in the sky. The pirate, not wasting any time, quickly advanced and flew towards Akainu's attack, increasing his speed, dodging to the right and left while the lava fists bubbled in the air. Luffy maneuvered through them until he reached Akainu, who quickly prepared for the pirate and his impact. As Luffy collided with him on the ground of lava, generating an explosion of rocks and fire, both flying into the sky. But it didn't stop there, because in the midst of that chaos, a new explosion emerged with rocks and lava, one after another.

Explosions continued to occur around the area, and at that moment, the smoke began to clear as Luffy and Akainu exchanged blows against each other, striking at high speed. They seemed to have a clash, injuring each other while hitting their fists against one another, but nothing serious, just some bruises and scratches. At one point, Luffy and Akainu each landed a punch on the other, making their cheeks tighten against the enemy's fist, and flew to opposite sides.

After stabilizing once they were some tens of meters apart, Luffy stopped to stare at the admiral while wiping his blood and spitting to the side.

Akainu stopped as his cape appeared quite destroyed and burned while he wiped the blood from his face with his fist.

Both looked at each other with fierce gestures and paused for a second before flying towards each other once again, both hitting with their fists, generating rays of Armament Haki. Akainu transformed his body into lava and exploded on top of Luffy, who withstood the blow and saw that the admiral was no longer in front of him. At that moment, Akainu reappeared from the ground, transforming into lava and materializing behind Luffy, trying to punch him. Luffy promptly turned and crossed his arms to defend from the blow, and returned to attack.

In the midst of the fight, as both exchanged blows again, a new figure emerged at that moment, and their target was Luffy. Doflamingo had been just watching the battle from a distance until now and saw that it was finally time for him to enter the conflict, after all, he had to avenge the humiliation he suffered.

"Hm?!" Luffy wasn't expecting this, when he saw Joker appearing by his side before he could react and saw the Shichibukai using his claws to cut his chest, while he had to defend from an attack by Akainu.

Luffy felt his chest open with cuts, with Doflamingo overcoming his body's durability with haki, and being thrown backwards, Akainu did not stand still; he took advantage of this moment to launch a better attack on Luffy, while he was vulnerable. Luffy saw the admiral approaching, but with no time to resist that attack, feeling a huge punch in his chest and seeing some of his ribs breaking with it. Luffy was launched at least 60 meters away from the spot while trying to stabilize and exploding the ground with his own body.

"Luffy!!" Vivi shouted from a distance, seeing her captain being injured with the Shichibukai entering the fight.

"These damn..." Lami complained, while Lami beside her looked angrily at Doflamingo and his treacherous move.

"They dare!" Alvida snarled and was about to help Luffy, but was soon prevented from approaching by Cancer. Even injured from the previous attack, he had not given up.

Luffy reappeared from a crater in the distance, bleeding profusely. He was on his knees, looking somewhat surprised, while Doflamingo laughed amidst the cuts. "Fufufu. It seems that our invincible pirate has finally taken some damage," Doflamingo laughed and mocked.

This was not only witnessed by the vice admirals and pirates in the area, but the navy on the island also began to gain morale from it as they shouted.

"Look, the Straw Hat pirate is wounded!" someone announced, pointing towards the battlefield filled with explosions.

"Right, kill him!" said a captain.

"They're going to kill that demon!" some sailors celebrated.

"Luffy..." Lucy was with her heart pounding at that moment, hearing those words and facing a dilemma: to intervene or not, to let her superiors fight and eliminate Luffy or let her brother die, the person she loved the most. Of course, deep down, she would choose the latter option. So, she watched attentively to see when she should interfere, even if it could make her a traitor to the justice she had always defended, in case Luffy was in a crisis of danger. "I won't let my brother die," she thought.

Luffy continued coughing blood until he began to stand up. He spit out a bit more and looked attentively at his opponents, hundreds of meters away. Instead of frustration, he simply smiled. "Seems like this is more fun than I imagined," he admitted, not caring about his bleeding chest.

In the next moment, his chest glowed, and he used his healing ability, Eikon, which quickly began to close all his wounds, leaving only the clotted blood stained on his skin. However, his flames also quickly cleared any trace of an injury there.

"Let's take this fight more seriously," Luffy said, with a smile, as he drew his sword from its sheath.
