On the battlefield, Luffy stood alone, cast aside, yet his gaze remained fixed on the chaotic scene before him.
A raging fire seemed to burn in his heart, filling him with intense anxiety!
The battlefield was a cacophony of war cries and agonized screams, a tragic and brutal spectacle.
Soldiers darted through flashes of blades and shadows of swords, blood raining down like droplets, staining the earth a deep crimson.
The sharp clashing of weapons reverberated painfully in eardrums, yet none of it could tear Luffy's eyes away.
"Grandpa is being targeted by that terrifying old hag!"
Luffy knew deep down that he couldn't just stand by and do nothing!
But reality was cruel.
His body was tightly bound by heavy Seastone Chains, every inch of his skin feel the restraint.
The unique power of Seastone seemed to continuously erode his strength, leaving him unbearably weak and powerless.
"Dammit! Let me go!!!"
He gritted his teeth so hard they sank into his lower lip, drawing traces of blood.
"I have to help!" Luffy roared in fury, but it was futile.
...
"GARP!!!"
A thunderous roar tore through the turbulent sky.
Big Mom's colossal black dragon form loomed like a majestic, imposing moving mountain.
Her dragon eyes blazed with a hellish crimson fire, dazzling yet terrifying.
Her dragon claws clenched tightly into fists, enveloped in pitch-black Conqueror's Haki so potent it seemed to warp and nearly tear the very fabric of space.
With a clear target, Big Mom's meteor-like fist, carrying boundless power and an aura of total destruction, shot straight toward Garp!
"Galaxy Impact!" Garp bellowed, his voice like thunder crashing beside one's ear.
In an instant, his fist became sheathed in dense Armament Haki, blazing like flames that enveloped his entire hand.
The Armament Haki swirled and condensed around his fist, forming an indestructible shield.
Garp's body sank slightly, his feet planted firmly on the deck as if rooted to the earth.
Harnessing the rebound force from his stance, he channeled all his strength into his fist and shot forward with unstoppable momentum, meeting Big Mom's terrifying dragon claw head-on.
"Old hag, I've been waiting for you!"
Their fists collided violently in mid-air!
For a moment, time seemed to freeze.
Then, an ear-splitting explosion, like a super bomb detonating, erupted across the battlefield!
The sound felt soul-piercing, battering the eardrums of everyone nearby and leaving their minds blank.
A powerful shockwave, like a raging tsunami, swept outwards from the point of impact.
Wherever it reached, the sturdy deck shattered as easily as fragile paper, splinters and fragments flying everywhere.
At the same time, Akainu's figure shot forth like a blazing crimson bolt of lightning, closely following Big Mom's massive form.
Both fists had already transformed into scorching magma, flowing like liquid fire, continuously churning and surging.
Blistering heat radiated from his fists, distorting the surrounding air with its intense temperature.
The air seemed to transform into transparent waves, constantly undulating and emitting sizzling sounds—the noise of air being scorched by extreme heat.
"Hell Hound!" Akainu growled in a low voice, his tone dripping with boundless killing intent.
His magma fists erupted like a volcanic explosion, carrying searing lava and billowing smoke as they thundered toward Big Mom's back with overwhelming force!
Seeing this, Big Mom let out a maniacal laugh.
"MAMAMAMA!" Her dragon claw swept out with such tremendous power that it instantly deflected Garp's fist!
The sheer force sent his body flying backward uncontrollably.
Simultaneously, her other dragon claw swiftly rose, palm gathering a swirling mass of black-gold energy that continuously rotated and condensed, resembling a forming black hole.
As the energy accumulated, the black-gold glow intensified, becoming so dazzling it was difficult to look at directly.
"Shockwave!" Big Mom roared again, a pitch-black shockwave erupting from her palm like a dark torrent, rushing straight toward Akainu's magma fist.
Boom! Boom!
Three terrifying forces collided violently in mid-air, the continuous thunderous roars seeming capable of shattering the world itself.
Scorching magma, pitch-black shockwaves, and Garp's dense Armament Haki intertwined, forming an enormous energy vortex.
The vortex spun like a frenzied monster, constantly rotating and devouring everything around it!
At its core flickered various lights—blazing red, profound black, and brilliant gold—all interwoven until they became indistinguishable.
Thud! Thud-thud!
The powerful impact sent all three bodies flying backward instantly, hurtling through the air like kites with severed strings.
Garp's body tumbled continuously mid-air, his fists trembling slightly—a side effect of overexertion.
Cracks appeared across Akainu's body, blood seeping through to stain his clothes.
Meanwhile, several charred marks now marred Big Mom's dragon claws—traces left by magma and Armament Haki, leaving her somewhat disheveled.
"..."
Garp gritted his teeth against the sharp pain in his fists, his lower lip clenched tight and veins bulging slightly on his forehead.
He took a deep breath, pushed off with his legs, and moved closer to Magellan.
At the same time, Magellan was also gazing intently at Garp, their eyes meeting sharply in mid-air as if conducting a silent conversation—both clearly reading the gravity and pressure in each other's expressions.
"Big Mom—a Three-Devil Fruit User. Her power far exceeds our expectations."
Garp lowered his voice, words carrying a barely noticeable pant as his eyebrows furrowed into a deep crease, eyes filled with concern.
The sea wind howled past, tousling his graying hair and adding to his weathered appearance.
Magellan gave a slight nod, his expression solemn and severe.
His body trembled slightly, Venom continuously dripped from his fingertips and the hem of his clothes, splattering onto the deck and instantly corroding the sturdy planks into bottomless pits.
A pungent odor permeated the air.
"Her defense and attack power have reached an almost invincible level. With just the two of us, it might be difficult to win."
