[Although Luffy's identity has been exposed, it doesn't deter him from persisting in the ring!]
[Facing a succession of adversaries...]
[Luffy, with his extraordinary strength, systematically dispatched each opponent.]
[Even when confronted by a multitude of miscellaneous soldiers!]
[He even unleashed the Conqueror's Haki, overpowering everyone in an instant...]
This spectacle once again astounded countless viewers across the globe!
As we all know, Haki is categorized into three forms!
Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and the formidable Conqueror's Haki! While many formidable individuals have manifested the first two Haki... The last, Conqueror's Haki, is exceptionally rare!
For anyone who awakens the Conqueror's Haki, it signifies the potential of a King!
It symbolizes strength and limitless possibilities!
What no one anticipated was that Luffy had indeed mastered this Haki! Meanwhile...
Upon witnessing this scene, Admiral Akainu at the Marine Headquarters wore a displeased expression.
He realized that Monkey D. Luffy, the Straw Hat Kid, seemed to be surpassing his expectations in terms of growth...
He is not merely a criminal or a pirate; he possesses the potential to claim the title of king in the future!
Hence, the threat he poses is even more significant... Such a presence must be eradicated!
Otherwise, it poses a threat to the World Government and to everyone navigating the seas!
As for Vice Admiral Garp...
Observing Luffy exhibit his Conqueror's Haki, he couldn't help but feel elated.
"Good lad! I'm amazed you've mastered the Conqueror's Haki!"
"Hahaha..."
Laughter resonated throughout the Marine Headquarters.
On the sidelines, Fleet Admiral Sengoku was somewhat lost in thought... He couldn't help but acknowledge that this guy was incredibly fortunate!
Both of his grandsons, Ace and Luffy, are not only formidable but have also mastered the Conqueror's Haki!
This implies that his two grandsons possess formidable potential! Unfortunately, both grandchildren are pirates.
It's a bit of a headache...
[Finally, after Luffy triumphed over one cunning adversary after another.] ]
[In the entire arena, only two contenders remain...]
[One is Luffy himself, and the other is Don Chinjao!]
Don Chinjao fixed his gaze on Luffy, eyes filled with anger and a murderous aura.
He had been awaiting this chance for a long time!
If it weren't for Garp, his once-drill head wouldn't have turned as ugly as it is now!
Since he couldn't defeat Garp, he would take out his frustration on his grandson!
Without hesitation, Don Chinjao launched a direct attack on Luffy, and the two immediately clashed.
Don Chinjao not only possessed a formidable Armament Haki but also showcased his Conqueror's Haki!
At this moment, as Luffy and Don Chinjao collided...
A thunderous roar echoed in the minds of the spectators throughout the arena, causing many to faint.
Don Chinjao struck again, his head covered with a layer of Armament Haki, yelling as he charged toward Luffy.
"As Garp's grandson, you will now pay the debt he owed me long ago!"
"Die, Straw Hat Kid!"
Luffy, tormented by the relentless assault from the old man, was losing control.
"I have nothing to do with him! My goal is to seize Ace's only keepsake, the Flame fruit!"
But Don Chinjao persisted, relentlessly pursuing him.
Luffy, unable to comprehend the old man's vendetta against him, grew increasingly infuriated. He ascended into the sky, activating Gear Third!
In an instant, his fist enlarged significantly, covered in Armament Haki.
With tremendous power, he unleashed a devastating blow towards Don Chinjao.
Boom...
The immense force sent Don Chinjao crashing heavily onto the ring, but astonishingly, his head, initially concaved, popped back into its original state.
This spectacle left the audience in disbelief.
Could Don Chinjao's head really be hammered back into shape? Even Garp himself seemed puzzled.
Laughter erupted, acknowledging that Luffy truly inherited his grandfather's unique style.
Most thrilled by this sight was Don Chinjao himself. Watching the live footage, the revelation that Luffy was Garp's grandson fueled a new surge of anger within him.
Unable to contain his excitement, Don Chinjao shouted, "Quick! Take me to see the Straw Hat Kid!"
"Let me experience the same as in the picture and receive a punch from him!"
The surrounding onlookers were immediately shocked at Don Chinjao's unexpected reaction.
You can't be serious, can you?
Who volunteers to ask others to hit themselves?
And with a hammer, no less!
Aren't you afraid of looking like a total fool with a hammer to the head?
But it seems that Don Chinjao is dead serious.
Because he dreamt of and desired to restore his awl-like head.
However, at this moment, he doesn't even know where Luffy and the others are...
[Meanwhile, Law continues battling Fujitora and Doflamingo on the island!]
[With the power of his Devil Fruit, Law can barely hold his own against everyone.]
[But he needs the Straw Hats' help, so he informs Nami and the others to bring the ship over...]
[On the other side, Nami and the rest successfully defeat the Doflamingo family members with their cunning.]
[They head straight for Law's position...]
[But the strength of Doflamingo and Fujitora is overwhelming, and Law is on the verge of collapse.]
[Even the newly arrived Straw Hat Pirates are almost overwhelmed by Doflamingo!]
[If it weren't for Sanji's timely arrival, the pirate ship would have been sliced by his string...]
[Even so, Sanji is in serious jeopardy.]
[He's suspended in the air by Doflamingo's strings, about to be cut directly by them...]
[Fortunately, Law intervenes just in time, using his Devil Fruit ability to save him again.]
[And he negotiates with the captured Doflamingo family members for his escape...]
[This rescues Nami and her group, and himself, from imminent danger.]
[No matter how ruthless Doflamingo is, there's one thing he still cares about.]
[That is, he prioritizes the safety of his family...]
Red-Haired Pirates!
"That Devil Fruit, are you sure it's the Ope Ope no Mi?" Shanks asked skeptically.
Beckman nodded, "Indeed, creating a spherical space, cutting sections in the space at will, and exchanging hearts—this must be the Ope Ope no Mi!"
Shanks sighed, "I didn't expect such a powerful fruit to be in the hands of a man named Law."
His astonishment stems from the uniqueness of the Ope Ope no Mi.
As a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, it's arguably the most coveted and sought-after fruit.
Not only for its metamorphic abilities but also because it can grant humanity the potential for immortality—albeit at the cost of the user's life. This makes it highly desirable and sought after by many.
If only his captain could have obtained the Ope Ope no Mi, perhaps his body wouldn't have decayed so quickly...
With this thought, regret flickered in Shanks' eyes.
[Meanwhile, Franky, Zoro, and the others discovered the inhabitants of the city.]
[They're gearing up to confront Doflamingo!]
[Moreover, they've uncovered the truth about the toys in the city...]
[These toys were once human, transformed into toys by Doflamingo's subordinates!]
[Now, they're banding together to take down Doflamingo!]
[On the other side...]
[The battle has entered a brief intermission!]
[Bartolomeo finally meets his idol, Luffy!]
[Despite being nearly speechless with excitement, he's genuinely thrilled...]
[He knows Luffy is participating in the tournament to claim the Mera Mera no Mi!]
["Luffy Senpai, I'll help you secure the Flame-Flame Fruit!"]
[But at that moment...]
[A voice interrupts, "Straw Hat Luffy, I won't let you get the Flame fruit!"]
[Bartolomeo, enraged, demands, "Who's that? How dare they speak to Luffy senpai like that!"]
[Luffy eyes the speaker suspiciously, trying to figure out...]
["Why don't you recognize me?"]
[As soon as these words are spoken, Luffy is suddenly stunned...]
[His eyes tremble, unable to believe it. The person standing before him is...]
["Long time no see, Luffy..."]
[At this moment, Luffy can't contain himself, tears streaming down his face...]
["Sa...Sabo!?"]
