Third Person POV
Enies Lobby, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Luffy had started his fight again with the admirals, and it continued. The structure of the island itself began to give way, already completely fragmented since Luffy had dug up the place with his power and now collapsing as the pressure of the fight between Luffy and the admirals continued to damage the island even more, where it began to crack and crumble.
The fissures spread across the ground like the veins of a giant or as if Whitebeard was there using the power of his fruit. The sound was deafening; the earth groaned and split, creating chasms that threatened to swallow everything and everyone. Sailors ran in all directions, training and discipline giving way to the most basic survival instinct. Shouted communications tried to organize a retreat, but the voice of reason was drowned out by the chaos the island had become.
Buildings that had withstood so many conflicts were now cracking and collapsing, sending clouds of dust into the air. Structures once imposing, symbols of the power of marine justice, were reduced to rubble. The marine headquarters on the island, a bastion of order, was now cracked, threatening to collapse at any moment.
"This!! How can this be happening?!" That scene of terror was being broadcast on the screens in front of Sengoku at the headquarters, leaving everyone, even Garp, being restrained by his superior, frowning as he watched the scene.
"Well... This is quite bad." Kuzan commented, sitting in a chair. He didn't want all those sailors to die, and if he were there, he could surely connect the island with his ice so it wouldn't crack, but it was too late for anything but to watch all that destruction.
On the battlefields, the vice admirals and the Straw Hats felt the ground sway under their feet. Some were winning the fight while trying to finish off their opponents as they made their way to assist others before retreating.
The dock, where moments before sailors were trying to organize counterattacks from their ships, was now pandemonium. Sailors helped their wounded comrades to a safe place, while others bravely tried to maintain order, directing everyone to the ships that could still set sail. Cannons and ammunition, ready to be used against the pirates, were now ignored in favor of ropes and lifeboats.
And at the center of all this, Luffy and the admirals continued their deadly dance, perhaps blind to the destruction around them, it seemed that the whole setting did not seem to affect them as the admirals tried to eliminate the pirate and he wanted to delay them so his crew could escape, despite still losing the fight.
It was just a moment for them to breathe that they saw the real destruction of the island being created everywhere.
"This?!"
"Hm?"
"..."
All 3 were surprised with varied expressions of what was happening as they realized it.
"This is bad..." Kizaru had to comment, he was quite concerned about the sailors there, unlike Akainu who, despite being surprised, looked at Luffy injured and wanting to kill that threat to the sea, even if everyone on that island died with it.
"We should help them..." Kizaru commented.
"No, let's deal first with that pirate!" Akainu countered, making the other admiral frown.
However, an explosion occurred next to Luffy, lifting the ground, and as the dust settled, Yamato, Zoro, and Hugo appeared at this moment to join the fight against the admirals.
"Looks like you managed to get away from your fights." Luffy commented calmly.
"Yes." Zoro responded calmly.
"We came to help!" Yamato commented with a calm smile.
"How are the others?" Luffy asked.
"The fights not yet won are being helped by some others." Hugo commented, and Luffy nodded before beginning to heal once again and look at his adversaries.
"More of them?! Did the vice admirals fail?!" Akainu growled, seeing that if they were here, the fight against their opponents was won by the pirates.
"This is getting bad for us..." Akainu commented.
"We can't let them escape!!" Akainu roared and launched his lava fist at the pirates who began to dodge and advance, now with the fight more balanced as all the pirates here could use haki to hurt the logia users.
On the other side, in one of the ground holes, Tsuru emerged with some blood on her body breathing a little hard, and she felt pain all over her body, the last blow from Kaido's daughter knocked her and her colleague down, she felt the island shaking and made a decision while looking towards where Luffy and his companions were against the two admirals.
"Everyone!! We must help the marines get off this island!" She issued the order, and those who were still engaged in a stalemate fight against the pirates heard it, beginning to retreat.
"Hm?!" Vivi sighed a little as her opponent backed away, despite giving her a frustrated look while listening to Tsuru's orders.
"What should we do?" Nami asked in the air.
"Let's go back, let Luffy and the others hold the admirals off so we can return!" Nojiko spoke beside Alvida, who, after winning her fight, came to assist her.
The defeated vice admirals began to emerge from the ground, still injured and even though they looked angrily at the pirates, they started to follow Tsuru while trying to save the marines before the island fell off the cliff.
Lami tried to hit an enraged Doflamingo as everything around became threads, even creating clones of himself against the pirate, making even her struggle to face the Shichibukai at this stage, even with him bleeding without his fingers from one hand.
"This is getting tough..." She frowned as she cut through a thread clone of the man, and when he was about to attack Lami from behind with the original, a fireball hit him making him fly, it was Reiju arriving to help her.
"You need help, don't you? My opponents had to retreat, so I came to help you." She commented calmly.
"..." Lami wasn't angry, just nodding at the woman's intervention.
Doflamingo growled and saw that the pirates were indeed retreating; he then made a decision, one that he would later regret, raising his hand to the sky as he launched threads towards the two pirates, a huge cage appeared over the island covering the place.
"What is this?!" Chopper shouted frightened from the ship as he saw the huge cage covering the island while they remained outside.
All the marines who were leaving the island were surprised by this, after all, they could no longer pass through those threads.
"Now no one can leave! Fufufu." He laughed while Lami and Reiju frowned, however, all the other Straw Hats looked at him.
"That bastard!!" A vice admiral growled looking at the warlord.
"He's sabotaging us too!!" Another spoke.
All the marines were angry with Doflamingo at this moment, with the exception of Akainu, Doflamingo didn't even seem to be aware of everyone looking at him at that moment, while he laughed.
He didn't even feel when Yamato appeared behind him, with her weapon, hitting him while breaking all his bones, making him spit blood. Luffy immediately asked her to kill him, the same could be said of the other Straw Hats, because before Doflamingo could react, Kuina appeared and launched a freezing cut, affecting one of his arms.
"This?!!" Doflamingo growled as he felt the difficulty when he sensed through haki numerous people approaching him from all sides, Lami, Reiju were already fighting him, but Nami, Reiju, Alvida, Vivi who were fleeing, immediately became hostile and went for the Shichibukai being pressed.
"Should we help him?" Someone asked.
"No, the bastard even wants to kill our men, let the pirates finish him off." Tsuru murmured calmly.
"But didn't the government want him alive?" A vice admiral asked cautiously.
"They did, but we can't do anything when he brings this upon himself." Tsuru answered, she wouldn't pity Doflamingo after what he did to the island.
Doflamingo, seeing he was in a bad situation, winds, explosions, fire, ice among many abilities cornered him, making him start to receive quite bad damages for him, even his awakened devil fruit couldn't deal with the pressure of so many powerful people targeting him and even if he canceled his fruit covering the island, it was very unlikely that his enemies would stop attacking.
He could do nothing but try to fend off the attacks.
"Hm?!" In a moment, he felt his arm being shattered into several pieces of ice, his chest being pierced, bone breaking, and losing consciousness last as Yamato hit him with her weapon on his head, sending him flying to the ground and digging into the island even more.
A moment later, the cage he created was deactivated, and the sailors began to return to the ships while they had built a temporary bridge at that moment to cross the abyss beneath the island.
Luffy, Hugo, and Zoro continued fighting against the admirals, although the pressure on Luffy was not as great as before, it was clear how difficult it was for Zoro and Hugo to fight them, even injuring them.
"Go back!! Head to the ship while I hold them off!" Luffy ordered, after all, he was the fastest of the crew, who could deal with them while he could escape.
Nodding, both began to retreat. Seeing this, Akainu growled and could use his companions to lure Luffy while flying towards them, but Luffy was faster and did not let the admiral pass while punching him back, but Kizaru appeared at that moment, kicking Luffy.
Luffy flew like Akainu after being hit but still managed to keep the admiral away from his companions.
"What an idiot..." Luffy got up, not speaking to the admirals, but feeling the Shichibukai unconscious underground without an arm and another hand without fingers, he seemed to be severely injured and in a coma.
"Your crew really scares me..." Kizaru commented, also seeing the sad end of the Shichibukai.
"This fight was not good for you, after all, the navy suffered a great defeat here today." Luffy commented while spitting blood on the ground and looking at the admiral as Akainu also joined his side angrily.
Luffy had to hold off these two admirals, so he began to release his final transformation, growing to become a complete Ifrit.
"We're arriving!" Vivi commented, landing on the deck as they flew to the Black Pearl.
"Is Luffy still fighting?!" Uta asked worriedly.
"Yes..." Reiju commented, looking at the explosions as Luffy appeared in his final form.
"He asked us to depart..." Zoro arrived with Hugo.
"Let's prepare to set sail!" Hachi spoke.
"We're not being shot at anymore, so it's better we depart!" Nami commented.
In the fight, Luffy seemed to be trying to hit flies as Kizaru and Akainu pushed him back with injuries, devastating half of the island as he launched his flames and haki fists, but he was struggling.
In a moment when Kizaru was about to launch a rain of light, Yamato appeared in the air, making him dodge her weapon. "Yamato?!" Luffy asked.
"I wouldn't leave you here alone." She said, landing on his flaming shoulder.
"Let's hold them off a little longer." Luffy said, and in the next 10 minutes, Luffy and Yamato started a fight against the admirals while the island began to plummet from that side.
Some navy ships tried to take down the fleeing pirates' ship from a distance, but the crew quickly dealt with any approaching bullet.
Seeing that the ship was in a safe position, Luffy undid his transformation and caught Yamato by surprise in the air.
"What are you doing?!" She yelled, but Luffy just spun her around without her being able to do anything and shot her towards their ship on the horizon and used his moa moa no mi on her, making her speed increase 80 times, making her disappear.
Luffy looked at the admirals. "It's time for me to leave, goodbye!" Luffy announced and quickly flew with his increased speed, Akainu could not follow him, but the same could not be said for Kizaru.
"Kill that pirate immediately!!!" Akainu growled.
Luffy continued in the air, fleeing from Kizaru trying to catch him like a game of cat and mouse, the island began to collapse at that moment while the sailors tried to escape.

[Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]
Third Person POV
Enies Lobby, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Luffy was engulfed in a shower of light as everything around him exploded. A moment later, he moved out of the admiral's attack range, slightly injured while Kizaru chased after him.
"You should be worried about your companions, after all, even if you're faster in this form, I'm more resilient, and you can't stop me," Luffy said calmly.
His feet crushed the already cracked ground, and he resumed his escape as a line of light pursued him. Explosions burst forth as he dodged the admiral's attacks, getting ever closer to the end of the island.
"This is getting troublesome..." Kizaru commented, seeing that despite causing damage to Luffy, the giant did not stop.
Luffy waited until he reached the edge of the island and turned to face Kizaru. "The island is breaking apart, and many have died. I usually don't do this with my enemies, but today I'll make an exception because my sister and my grandfather are marines," he said, as at that moment, the island began to collapse.
Several cracked parts started to detach and fall into the void.
"This is bad!" Tsuru commented while watching the island being destroyed with many marines still on it, as it wasn't quick to evacuate more than 20,000 marines from the island.
"The island is falling!!! We must flee!"
"It's impossible, there's no way everyone can get across the bridge!"
"Are we going to die here, just like this?"
The crowd of men and women became desperate as the other side of the island crumbled.
"Stay calm!" A vice admiral tried to calm the panic.
Several marines who could use geppo were helping their colleagues, and Lucy was one of them as she stretched her arm to grab the marines on the island and throw them onto the ship away from the island with the boats.
Akainu flew through the air, above them without care, his only goal being to eliminate Monkey D. Luffy on the other side of the island as he was almost escaping.
Luffy, seeing the chaos, while Kizaru seemed torn between attacking the pirate or helping the marines while frowning.
"This is my final gift to help you, thank you for the fights, it was quite fun despite getting beaten up fighting against two admirals..." Luffy said, and with his foot on the ground, he activated the Moa Moa no mi, setting the island's gravity to 0.01. With this, the island stopped trembling and collapsing, becoming inert, even with many of the loose stones flying upwards due to the negative gravity.
"This?!" Kizaru was surprised by this and he knew it was done by Luffy, who only looked at him for a millisecond, before turning and jumping towards his ship at sea. Kizaru could have pursued him, but stayed put, just watching.
"What?! He escaped!! How could you let this happen?!" Akainu arrived a moment later, seeing the huge Ifrit flying in the distance while admiral Kizaru remained watching him escape.
"He escaped, I couldn't do anything," Kizaru commented, shrugging.
"What do you mean by this?! You did this on purpose..." Akainu did not finish grumbling his complaints, as Kizaru simply spoke. "I have to help the people, goodbye." He said, turning into light and disappearing while Akainu became even more frustrated by this mission being a total failure.
Luffy continued returning while remaining in his transformation to better resist Kizaru's attacks, especially now that he used his moa moa no mi on the island to hold it up a little longer before being completely destroyed. It held up for a while with the effect of Luffy's fruit, enough to rescue the marines, after all, Luffy knew this could leave Garp and Lucy sad.
He saw that Kizaru stopped following him and left his larger transformation, returning to normal with just his wings as he flew over the sea.
"Luffy! You returned!" Yamato was waiting for him in the sky after being thrown in that manner and looked relieved at Luffy approaching, despite him bleeding a bit and full of marks from the fight. He began to heal a bit more before he and Yamato returned to the ship.
"Luffy!!" Uta exclaimed as Luffy and Yamato landed on the deck at that moment.
"We're back..." Luffy looked at everyone with a smile.
"You held up well fighting against 2 admirals, captain..." Hugo commented with a smile.
"I managed to fight them for a bit..." Luffy murmured despite having been beaten up.
"We got all the money in the end..." Nami commented, approaching Luffy.
"Yes. In the end, we achieved our goal, now let's continue our journey," Luffy said, moving to the middle of the ship as everyone looked at him.
"But I must say, you all were amazing and I am proud, everyone had their own battles and even though we couldn't show all our power, we left a clear message to the navy and the world government," he said with a tone of pride.
"Yes, I never imagined I could fight like this, but still, I fought against a vice admiral," Vivi commented.
"Karooo!!!"
"You too, Karoo!" She said to her friend.
Many smiled at that, after all, the battle wasn't that hard, there were some injuries and scratches, but Luffy was the worst off, yet still nothing serious.
"The island is falling!" Kuina announced as everyone returned to Enies Lobby, the island began to emit loud cracking sounds as it started to collapse, with the effect of Luffy's ability being deactivated.
"This is our cue to leave, let's start moving away before we can be pursued," Luffy said as he put his hands on the ship and increased the ship's speed several times following a route away from the island, "Let's talk as soon as we get out of the navy's reach." He said and the ship began to disappear on the horizon.
Meanwhile, just before the island began to collapse again, the marines, now relieved that the island wasn't falling, began to cross the bridge without panic while the ships that Shirahoshi hadn't destroyed were rescuing people, leaving them overcrowded, but at least with the lives of those men intact.
It was only with the last marine leaving that the island lost the effect of the moa moa no mi and began to fall again, there were only the vice admirals and admiral on the island, who began to use Geppo to go to the ships.
The atmosphere seemed gloomy for everyone, after all, they lost some comrades in this conflict and couldn't stop any pirates as they escaped.
"How could this happen..." A marine murmured.
"Not even two admirals could stop them... what are these pirates, with such strength emerging in paradise..." another commented with a defeated expression.
"Luffy... he has become so strong..." Coby commented in a corner, he had trained to get stronger, but he couldn't even use Geppo to deal with Luffy while just staying on the ground watching the higher-ranked marines and Lucy facing Luffy, he really felt quite imposing with that.
"..." Helmeppo stood by in silence but equally frustrated, he couldn't even do anything against the man who had so easily killed his father months ago.
"He's much stronger than that time, he believed that I could achieve my dreams... but our difference... is so huge... He's already at the level of an admiral..." Coby continued murmuring among a bunch of marines with the same expression as him.
On a specific ship among those there, the highest ranks gathered, all the 11 vice admirals, Kizaru, and a frustrated Akainu were looking at the people lying on the ground on that deck. Doflamingo had been rescued from the middle of the island by the vice admirals and the fallen Cp9 at the port as well.
"All this to rescue them and they end up like this in the end, it's really pathetic," Vice Admiral Cancer said calmly, he was quite injured after losing to Alvida.
"I can't disagree with Cancer, we conducted this operation to rescue them, but in the end, they nearly died getting involved in a fight that shouldn't have been theirs, bunch of idiots," Doberman commented with disdain.
None of the vice admirals disagreed with those words, of all of them, Doflamingo, who was the government's favorite, ended up in such a pitiful state, "Can't we recover his arm?" Tsuru commented, looking at the unconscious and bleeding Shichibukai.
"No... It was shattered by ice blocks..." A doctor examining the condition of the wounded there spoke cautiously, his arm had been frozen by Kuina and broken in the joint attack of the Straw Hats. "Besides, he lost his fingers... and has fallen into a coma... His situation is quite severe."
"How scary..." Kizaru commented.
"The Five Elders certainly didn't like that at all!" Akainu growled, even though he didn't care about Doflamingo's life, he knew the Gorosei saw some value in him.
The island began to finish collapsing at this moment, as everyone saw it starting to fall without being suspended any longer as it began to fall and the ships moved away, hearing those titanic sounds of millions of tons falling into the sea at that moment.
The transmission ended after that in Marineford, Garp was no longer being held by Sengoku while the latter seemed as frustrated with the failure of this mission as Akainu.
"Why! Why have they become so strong! How is this possible!?" Sengoku growled, pacing around the room in front of some officers, who had also watched the entire transmission. Garp was silent on the side, not making any jokes this time.
Sengoku was shocked, he knew Luffy was powerful and was at the level of an admiral according to Kuzan, which was already extremely shocking for someone just navigating the Grand Line, but what he saw today was a man stronger than an admiral, he certainly could defeat Akainu if Kizaru hadn't appeared, even if it could take days with Akainu's resilience. But what shocked him the most here was his crew, all those who fought against the vice admirals had a power of equal or even greater strength, seeing that some could even fight against 2.
"They must no longer be underestimated..." Someone said.
"We cannot let this threat roam the sea, can you imagine the level of danger they will be once they start navigating the New World?!" Another person growled.
"They have Logia, mythical Zoan fruits... and those abilities they showed... are also mythical Zoan with that kind of transformation...?"
"How could they gather so many fruits...?!"
While people debated in the room, Sengoku turned his attention to Garp. "Did you see the sword your grandson wielded?!" He said.
"Yes... that was something I never imagined seeing in Luffy's hands..." Garp commented with a serious tone.
"Your grandson is a serious threat, Garp. More than anything we've seen in this era, you know if the government held back against him, now there will be no more limits," Sengoku spoke in a serious tone, after all, this would certainly make the elders quite angry.
"We should see how Doflamingo's condition is..." Sengoku spoke before picking up two communicators, one for Akainu, the other for Kizaru, choosing Kizaru's, after all, he could communicate better with him than an incensed Akainu after losing his mission.
But at this moment, a man bursts into the room. Making Sengoku, already in a bad mood, growl at that marine. "What is it?!" He shouted.
"Sorry, sir!" The man swallowed hard while everyone in the room looked at him with murderous intent. "But something urgent has happened?! That must have your immediate attention!" He spoke with fear.
"What is it now?" Sengoku growled, before the man began to speak.
In front of the marine headquarters, a group stood out among all the others, while the marines wore neat white cloaks, a group of 4 men was there contrasting with the crowd, even one with a tired horse, they arrived in a wooden boat, while the marines spotted them, they had already reached the shore, but what stood out the most in the group was the man chained with the tattoo of the Whitebeard symbol on his back.
"Ziahahahaha! Finally, we've arrived!!" Blackbeard laughed while staring at all the marines wondering who that man was and how he had captured Ace, of the fire fists.
