[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]
Third Person POV
Somewhere, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Kuzan watched Luffy, whose body was now enveloped in dancing purple flames in front of him, as the ice beneath him began to melt. "You are certainly more dangerous than the reports suggested, Monkey D. Luffy," said Kuzan, closely observing the flames. "Your proficiency in Haki is dangerous, despite being far from the strongest, yet your mythical Zoan fruit grants you great explosive power... both impressive and troublesome at the same time..." Kuzan continued to speak, no longer as lazily as he might have.
With a confident smile, Luffy replied, "I'm just getting started, Admiral. I was never the pirate you guys have in those reports, after all, I never had to use all my strength to deal with the navy, maybe you'll be the first?" Luffy suggested.
Kuzan gave a slight nod, acknowledging the truth in Luffy's words. "That's evident. But don't underestimate the Navy or an Admiral, grandson of Garp."
The flames around Luffy increased in intensity, reflecting his will to fight. "I don't underestimate anyone, Kuzan. But I don't intend to be underestimated either. Let's see how far an Admiral's strength goes, I could just ignore you while passing through the region, but I want to see where my current level is."
"Then come, show me the power of the greatest rookie of this generation," he said as his body began to wrap in ice.
Without further words, Luffy quickly advanced towards Kuzan, closing the distance between them in the blink of an eye. Putting his Moa Moa no Mi ability into speed and strength, he was thirty times more powerful in these two aspects.
Both crossed their fists against each other, Kuzan who always passively freezes his opponents, had to be more aggressive in this fight and he opted to use Haki too. The admiral's fist and the pirate's created an impact above the ice, breaking everything and creating a powerful blast with dark rays tinged with red, from the armament Haki.
*BOOOOOOOOM!*
The fists seemed to clash in the attack with neither of them backing down. Kuzan had more mastery of the armament Haki than Luffy, but he couldn't take advantage of the pirate, his fist continued in the impact wrapped in Haki with ice covering various parts of his arm, on the other side Luffy had his fist against Kuzan while flames exploded against the enemy, but he couldn't take advantage either. He might be below Kuzan in armament Haki, but had his Moa Moa no Mi to compensate for deficiencies against this type of opponent.
An explosion occurred when the fists reached their limit, everything within more than 100 meters exploded between the two elements, and Luffy and Kuzan were thrown to opposite sides of each other.
While Kuzan appeared like an ice sculpture, Luffy spread his wings and flew upwards, facing Kuzan and now they would show a battle of elements as he formed fireballs, throwing them at the admiral.
In the next few minutes, that side went into a frenzy with explosions and sounds of ice forming and breaking, the battle was a dance of fire and ice. Luffy, with his punches wrapped in flames and Haki, tried to break Kuzan's ice defenses, while the latter used his ability to create massive ice sculptures and launch icy attacks. With every punch from Luffy, the ice vaporized under the intense heat, only to be quickly reformed by Kuzan's power, giving Luffy a real advantage against the admiral.
At various times, Luffy managed to land direct hits on Kuzan, who used his Haki to minimize the damage. Kuzan, with his superior experience and Haki skill, was able to predict and dodge many of Luffy's attacks, but Luffy's enhanced speed and strength from the Moa Moa no Mi were a constant challenge.
The battle was fierce and balanced, with each fighter testing the other's limits. For Kuzan, it was like fighting a Yonko commander, which put pressure on him. He no longer saw Luffy as a mere rookie pirate; this boy was worthy of being Garp's grandson.
The confrontation continued, with the island and its inhabitants witnessing a combat that would surely enter the history of this island in that frozen sea in front of the city.
At the height of this round between Luffy and Kuzan, the people of the city saw a huge purple fire tornado explode from the ice. The intense and voracious flames swirled around the place, forming a vortex that rose to the skies, visible from the entire island, even making the city feel the heat.
Kuzan, responding to the growing threat, intensified his own power. The frozen sea around them began to crack and explode, sending shards of ice and cold vapor into the air. Kuzan manipulated the ice with unmatched skill, creating complex structures and huge ice spears that clashed against Luffy's flames, creating a thermal shock.
With each impact between fire and ice, massive explosions occurred, sending waves of heat and cold in all directions. The island trembled with the force of the confrontation, and the inhabitants looked up at the sky, wondering if those two natural forces were real. Luffy's flames and Kuzan's ice continued to intertwine in a destructive dance, where fire met cold, creating a symphony of explosions and vapor.
As the battle escalated, Luffy decided to increase the intensity of the confrontation. He entered Phase 2 of his Akuma no Mi, transforming into an even more powerful and threatening version.
"So, this is the power that Momonga reported..." Kuzan recognized that Luffy was stronger than the report indicated in the fight against Momonga and Crocodile, but he knew that Luffy had now entered a new level of power with his akuma no mi.
Luffy advanced with superior speed and strength, keeping his moa moa no mi activated, becoming almost invisible to the eyes of onlookers. The flames enveloping him intensified, becoming wilder and uncontrollable, spreading across the already destroyed ice field and creating a trail of destruction.
Kuzan, recognizing the gravity of the situation, responded with an equivalent increase in his own intensity. The air around him cooled drastically, and immense ice structures began to emerge from nowhere, forming barriers and gigantic spears that projected towards Luffy.
Luffy, moving with agility, used geppo and his own flames on his feet to further boost speed and mobility, dodging the admiral's attacks while exploding some, melting everything in his path. In a moment, jumping into the air, Luffy formed a huge sphere and fired it at Kuzan, causing great destruction that destroyed all the ice around and the island trembled once again, witnessing the great explosion.
Kuzan, who responded with a massive wall of ice to block the attack, was thrown backward.
"Hey, hey. This is problematic..." He murmured, seeing all the vapor formed by the explosion of the pirate's attack, even his vision was obstructed with the smoke, but he could still feel Luffy with his Haki.
"Come on, admiral, this is getting fun!" Luffy appeared above Kuzan and launched a punch with flames, Kuzan responded with Haki, and their fists collided, resulting in another stalemate.
"How about a fight with fencing?" Luffy suggested, drawing Ace from its sheath for the first time.
"That looks like an interesting sword," Kuzan remarked. He wasn't a swordsman, but he recognized the sword as a supreme grade just by looking at it. He didn't know Ace, so he didn't realize what weapon was in Luffy's hand.
Kuzan opened his hand, and an ice sword formed. He covered it with Haki to strengthen it and advanced towards Luffy.
The swords clashed, wrapped in Haki, and another shock wave with cuts flew in all directions.
*BOOOOM!*
The people on the island once again watched the fight between Luffy and Kuzan with a mix of admiration and fear. Now the fight had shifted to weapon impacts, creating explosions in the air above the ice, which for the most part was already destroyed, giving way to the sea water.
One citizen, with an incredulous look, couldn't hide his admiration mixed with a touch of fear. "How is this possible? A pirate fighting on equal terms with an admiral?" he murmured, his voice almost lost in the surrounding noise.
Another observer, with a furrowed brow in concern, expressed his fear out loud: "This is unbelievable. If even an admiral can be challenged like this, what does that mean for us? What will happen to the navy if he loses?"
Some, still skeptical, clung to the belief in the navy's unshakeable supremacy. "There's no way an admiral can lose. They are the navy's greatest force, after all. This pirate, no matter how strong, can't beat him," commented an older man, trying to reassure himself and those around him.
Meanwhile, a young man pointed to the chaos at the port, where Enel faced Smoker. "But look there, the fight isn't just between the admiral and the pirate. That other one, with the lightning... he's fighting one of the navy officers!" he exclaimed, indicating the smaller, but equally intense battle happening separately.
On the side of the port, with less intense but still significant explosions, Enel continued his fight against the navy, or specifically against one of them.
Enel, with his characteristic arrogance, was facing Smoker. Hina was already on the ground, unconscious from the intensity of Enel's electric attacks. Smoker, on the other hand, resisted tenaciously, his ability to turn into smoke allowing him to avoid much of Enel's electric assault.
Enel mocked Smoker as they fought, throwing arrogant and provocative comments. "Is that all you've got, 'Smoke Man'?" he taunted, circling around Smoker with supernatural speed. Smoker could only rely on his Logia ability to continue the fight. "I thought the Logia users of this sea would be more challenging. It seems I was wrong." Luffy had told him about his powers, and after some denial, Enel acknowledged his ability.
Smoker, focused and serious, didn't let Enel's provocations affect him. He responded with calculated attacks, trying to hit Enel with his weapon that would work against Logia. Despite Enel being clearly the more powerful aggressor, Smoker didn't seem to give up on the fight.
Each time Enel launched a lightning bolt, Smoker turned into smoke, avoiding the blow and counter-attacking with quick and precise jabs. The fight between them was a game of cat and mouse, but no one seemed to be able to harm the other in this confrontation of Logias.
