["Fourth gear... unleash!"]
[In an instant, Luffy transformed into Bouncing Man once again!]
[His physique became remarkably robust, and the dominating black armament covered his limbs like fierce lines!]
[At this juncture, Luffy's entire momentum underwent a complete transformation!]
[Witnessing this spectacle, Cracker was taken aback for a moment.]
Simultaneously!
All the viewers tuned into the live broadcast were instantly filled with excitement!
"Here it comes! Luffy is in fourth gear mode!"
"This is the technique that took down Doflamingo. I've finally witnessed it again!"
"Cracker's biscuit body is finally about to crumble!"
"No doubt about it, this mode is so potent that it's bound to reverse the situation!"
Countless spectators were brimming with anticipation for the impending battle.
Simply because they had firsthand experience of the fearsome might Luffy wields in fourth gear mode!
As formidable as Doflamingo, who incessantly faced attacks while in the awakened fruit state. Pressed and pummeled!
A single punch could send him careening from the east to the west of town!
Such power was sure to pulverize Cracker's resilient body, no matter how tough it appeared!
[And indeed, the reality matched the expectations of countless viewers...]
[Activating the fourth gear, Luffy's legs transformed into jets, propelling him furiously into the sky!]
[Then, he vigorously charged up his fists]
["Ape King Gun!!!"]
[At the sight of this, Cracker was immediately astonished!]
[Even though he had never clashed with Luffy in Gear 4, he could gauge the potency of this move solely from its momentum!]
[Thus, he didn't dare to grow overly confident. In an instant, he erected myriad biscuits, forming a shield in front of him!]
[Nevertheless, he still underestimated the force behind Luffy's punch...]
[Boom!!!]
[A resounding crash echoed, marking the moment the fist made impact!]
[The cacophony of shattering biscuit shields echoed around Keliqia, heralding an outpouring of immense power!]
[Their collective impact struck Cracker with overwhelming force!]
[This formidable energy propelled him backward, obliterating numerous trees in its wake!]
[At least hundreds of them]
[After carving a dreadful ravine into the ground, he forcibly brought himself to a halt.]
[Yet, the moment Cracker rose, Luffy surged forward once more!]
["Great Ape King Gun!!‖!"]
[This time, Luffy unleashed even more formidable techniques, elevating his strength to unprecedented levels!]
[He had no intention of affording Cracker the slightest opportunity to retaliate; he aimed to capitalize on his triumph and dispatch him completely!]
[And everything unfolded precisely as Luffy desired!]
[The tremendous might of the Great Ape King's Gun, coupled with relentless counterattacks from the just-recovered Cracker, left no room for reprieve]
[This colossal and potent fist struck Cracker squarely in the face!]
[This time, he did not soar through the air again]
[Due to the sheer, staggering force, Cracker disintegrated into fragments, denied even the chance to be propelled away!]
[Witness Cracker's biscuit form crumbling inch by inch, with his upper body reduced to mere debris!]
[Only half of his body remained, standing motionless.]
[Blood spewed from his mouth and every wound, a sight cruel beyond measure!]
[In this moment, all anthropomorphic trees and animals in the forest were shaken to the core!]
[Lord Cracker, one of the three great dessert generals, met his demise in such a manner!]
[How could this be…]
Countless onlookers were left dumbfounded at the spectacle... but soon!
The crowd erupted in thunderous cheers!
Luffy emerges victorious!?
He vanquished Cracker, triumphing over the General!
True to form, Luffy lived up to the expectations of his fourth gear mode!
The power he displayed was utterly terrifying!!!
Countless individuals were elated, despite the initial challenges of the battle!
However, I must say, everything took a turn when Luffy unleashed his fourth gear mode!
It almost felt like the battle concluded too swiftly...
Regardless, winning is what matters most!
This victory affirms that Luffy has conquered his first formidable adversary, enabling him to venture deeper into the Grand Line!
Perhaps we can locate Sanji and rescue him successfully...
The events in the illustration will undoubtedly elicit reactions from many formidable figures!
Marine Headquarters!
"Did you defeat Cracker?"
At that moment, Garp's eyes gleamed while he stood at the forefront!
A smile suddenly broke on his previously anxious face!
He had been concerned ever since Luffy entered the Grand Line. After all, this time his grandson faced an adversary among the Yonko, one of the Sweet Commanders!
Even with the scene unfolding...
Garp never expected Luffy's first adversary to be one of the three powerful Sweet Commanders!
Whether it was the bounty or Cracker's strength, they surpassed even Doflamingo!
This heightened Garp's worries from the beginning. However, when he witnessed Luffy shattering Cracker's armor in fourth gear mode!
In that moment, all the worries in Garp's heart vanished!
It appears... his grandson has grown remarkably over the years!
He has become so formidable that he could defeat a top-ranking member of the Yonko's crew!
At this moment, Garp felt immense satisfaction. However, standing nearby, Sengoku fell into deep thought.
"It seems I recall something about this pirate named Cracker among the three Sweet Commanders. He's quite unique!"
Garp was intrigued, "What do you mean?"
Sengoku explained slowly, "It's been over ten years since I received the bounty for Katakuri."
"His appearance hasn't changed at all, as if he always looked the same!"
"Some within the Marine Headquarters suspect that the image he presents to the world may not be his true form."
Garp frowned upon hearing this.
Could it be that... what Luffy destroyed wasn't Cracker's real body?
Whole Cake Island!
Big Mom, the three Sweet Commanders, and all the people from various nations are closely following the scene!
After all, they are the focal point of this live broadcast; how could they not be attentive?
But when they witnessed Luffy's sudden punch shattering Cracker to pieces... not a single person present panicked!
Some even wore mocking smiles, especially Cracker, who stood below and said in a teasing tone, "Impressive! This Straw Hat boy actually managed this!"
"But if he knew, he would've tried to smash it..."
"It was just one of my biscuits!"
"How would he feel?"
The scene continued to unfold.
[With Cracker's massive body shattered by Luffy's punch!]
[Countless trees and animals were stunned!]
[Nami and Chopper, who were behind, wore expressions of joy and almost jumped with excitement!]
[Then, the next moment.]
[A horrifying scene unfolded!]
[From the half-shattered remains of Katakuri, a figure emerged again!]
[Before Luffy could react, the figure slashed with a sword!]
[Blood flowed instantly]
