Third Person POV

Egghead.

...

...

After all the people had simply vanished from the city, Saturn was a bit confused and cautious about his situation.

His gaze turned to the sea, where all the Navy ships were being destroyed.

"This is bad..." Saturn murmured before a den den mushi appeared in front of him. He hadn’t been able to contact the ships from the island due to the barrier that isolated communication.

But now he could finally give the order to all the pacifistas.

"Attention, all pacifistas, attack the pirates on the island!" he said quickly as the robots all around began to have their eyes glow in response.

"The pacifistas are starting to see us as a threat..." On the other side of the city, Luffy commented as his gaze turned to Bonney.

She knew what she had to do, and as she picked up her den den mushi, she began to give a new order to the pacifistas.

"The pirates are not a threat. Attack Saturn and any of his allies," she said, after all, Vegapunk had made it clear that she had the final command over the pacifistas.

"What?!" Saturn murmured in surprise when the pacifistas in the area looked at him and opened their mouths, charging their lasers.

They were quickly fired at him in the next moment, as he was engulfed by the explosion. When it finally calmed, he emerged from the blast, visibly frustrated.

"How is this possible?" He didn’t understand what had happened. After all, he didn’t know that Vegapunk had given the final command to Bonney; he just assumed Vegapunk had done something somehow.

His enormous legs began crushing enemies in the next moment. He easily managed to destroy the eight pacifistas that had attacked him.

His gaze turned to the destroyed part of the city, knowing that on the other side were the pirates...

‘They’re not even coming to me to attack... they don’t even see me as a threat... this is so frustrating...’ he thought, deeply frustrated, as his eyes scanned the entire place—the ships being destroyed to the last without resistance, the Navy that had arrived on the island being destroyed by the pacifistas attacking them mercilessly, Kizaru struggling on the upper part of the island...

‘Bonney also used the distorted future to transform into Nika herself... what a situation, and to think we now have this additional problem, also being a great threat.’

‘I admit it, I can’t defeat them... this mission is doomed to fail...’ he concluded with a frustrated look.

"What are you thinking about over there?" Then Luffy’s voice came from atop one of the buildings still standing in that area, looking at his enemy with crossed arms as his cape lifted slightly in the breeze, the Straw Hat flag still strapped to his back.

Other members of the crew began to appear one by one on each of the other four buildings—Zoro, Lucy, Yamato, and Hugo all seemed to look at him like prey.

He was surrounded.

‘But not all is lost.’ A new voice echoed in Saturn’s mind. It was the other Gorosei, speaking telepathically at this moment, since communication was down.

‘Yes... Imu’s words are an order, we must act,’ another said.

"Come on, stop looking at us with hateful eyes and summon your companions," Luffy said, knowing he had no other choice now, after all, he would die there.

A spark of surprise appeared in Saturn’s eyes. Luffy seemed to understand even more about his powers—though that shouldn’t be so surprising after everything that had happened in the past two years, even if Saturn didn’t know how he was doing it.

"..." Saturn remained silent for a few seconds before nodding. Then magical circles began to appear at his side—two on each side of him.

All the Straw Hats stood there in silence as Bonney and the others arrived at that moment, looking surprised at Saturn using his summoning, and four other individuals began to emerge—each dressed in suits or traditional garments, members of the highest echelon of the World Government.

Saint Marcus Mars stood there with his long mustache and beard, wearing a suit, his gaze hostile.

Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, dressed in a kimono similar to those from Wano, was present, maintaining a serious look through his glasses while holding his sword.

Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, in formal attire, looked directly at Luffy with a gleam in his eye, marking him as his enemy.

Saint Topman Warcury, also in a suit, bald but with a large mustache, had a hostile expression as well.

All five Elders stared down at the five pirates atop the buildings, as all of them returned a serious look toward the Elders.

"This looks bad!" Vegapunk shouted from his lab, seeing the images being transmitted to them.

"Luffy was already expecting something like this..." Uta said in a suspicious tone.

"That’s true... he called four more people to go with him. I wonder how he knew this would happen..." Nojiko commented, surprised, as the satellites, Vegapunk himself, and the rest of the crew stared at the screen with full attention, watching the clash forming in that moment.

"At last we meet..." Saint Shepherd Ju Peter broke the silence as they all stared at each other.

"That’s right... and to think all of you would appear before us on this day," Luffy said, smiling.

"You certainly became someone far worse than we anticipated... and you’ve kept overcoming everything we’ve sent against you over the past years..." Topman Warcury warned.

"It’s too late to regret that, you idiot. So let’s stop crying over the past and focus on the present," Luffy mocked.

"He dares speak to us like that. Not unexpected, after everything that’s happened and his bold attempts to destroy Mary Geoise twice..." one of them said before turning his attention back to Luffy.
"We know about your plans... you’re planning to destroy the World Government," Saint Shepherd Ju Peter said in a dark tone. The sentiment was shared by all the Gorosei.

Luffy didn’t hesitate. "Exactly. I made that very clear to all my allies. You are a threat to everyone in this world, a cancer that must be purged," he said calmly, now with a more serious tone, staring down the Gorosei.

"Your reign will end soon. We’re going to exterminate all of you, wipe out every single tenryuubito in this world, and bring an end to your oppression," he declared, as his Haki began to surge.

In the next moment, all the Gorosei, consumed by the fury of Luffy’s words, immediately responded with Conqueror’s Haki filled with as much rage as anyone could muster.

The entire island felt it at that moment, and the sinister lightning and overwhelming pressure covered everything without exception, making all the windows of the buildings and houses across the city shatter, unleashing a slicing wind that was felt everywhere on the island.

Luffy stood there calmly on the edge of the building, facing the Gorosei’s hostile stares, indicating they wanted to kill him right then. But he didn’t care. The same could be said for the other members, who also faced the Gorosei head-on.

Vegapunk was terrified inside the lab, while the members of the Dawn Pirates there also watched, some worried, knowing that most of them couldn’t handle a group so powerful.

Robin looked to the side, seeing the blonde begin to leave the lab at that moment. She narrowed her eyes and saw her disappear in the next instant, jumping off the island.

In one corner of the island, where a crowd of more than 150,000 people had gathered, everyone was terrified. They were on the upper part of the island after being pulled up by Lami, and even there, they were feeling all the pressure.

Lami was still taking care of them, especially with the battle between Enel and Kizaru happening in the air. She managed to stop any stray attacks coming toward the people there using the Ope Ope no Mi, redirecting any misplaced strike.

"What is that?" Usopp murmured in his full Bahamut form, watching one of the last ships being destroyed, with marines flailing in the water in desperation. They were no longer a threat, after he, Reiju, and Nami had destroyed over 40 ships and defeated several vice admirals.

"Things are definitely getting dangerous," Nami commented in her Garuda form.

"Well, we took care of things here. Let's head to the island to see how things are going," Reiju said, and they began moving toward the location.

Meanwhile, the Straw Hat remained under the pressure unleashed by the Gorosei’s Conqueror’s Haki—more than anyone else—as they held their unwavering gaze on their opponents.

"It’s time to respond in kind," Luffy said.

He quickly unleashed his Haki, red lightning flashing in all directions as it clashed head-on against the Gorosei’s pressure.

Lucy, Zoro, and Yamato also released their Conqueror’s Haki—except for Hugo, since he didn’t possess that ability like the other four.

Immediately, the clash of the five malicious Hakis struck against the four from the Dawn Pirates, while the pressure between the two groups created a unique barrier that exploded outward in all directions.

This continued for a while without either side overpowering the other. Luffy had to withstand the force of two Hakis from the five Gorosei, but he managed to stay standing alongside his three other crewmates, not falling behind the Gorosei.

The island grew even more restless, the pressure suffocating everyone. Even Enel and Kizaru stopped fighting for a moment, stunned by the collision of the nine Conqueror’s Hakis.

Even the sea seemed affected, waves forming and pushing outward from the island, while the sky appeared to lose its light.

Until all the Hakis ceased and everything returned to normal—things calmed, and silence fell in the next moment, as Bonney, Jinbei, and the others watched cautiously near the two groups.

At that moment, all nine began to glow—except for Saturn, who was already transformed. Both the four remaining Gorosei and the five pirates also started to release their auras with greater intensity.

It was a battle that everyone knew would be one against the other from the very beginning. So, swiftly, all the most powerful forms of their Akuma no Mi were activated.

Lucy began transforming into Nika, releasing his Haki, while a certain robot in a corner of the island seemed to slowly respond to that specific Haki.

Yamato began shifting into her hybrid form, unleashing even her awakening right from the start.

Zoro also began releasing his hybrid form, gaining armor as the dark energy of Oden surged through his body.

Hugo, who also transformed, began to take on his Titan hybrid form, his body becoming wrapped in stone. His eyes glowed with power.

Lastly, Luffy unleashed his form, transforming into Ifrit in a hybrid state—his body turning purple with chaotic flame-covered rocks forming, horns growing from his forehead, and his red eyes intensifying.

On the other side, each of the Gorosei not yet transformed began reaching their forms.

The battle between the two forces was definitely about to begin from that moment onward.
