...

The Loguetown square was illuminated by the light of the purple flames beginning to envelop Luffy's body. The transformation of his Devil Fruit was in full force, giving him a imposing and terrifying appearance with strange scales and growing horns that stood out.

"Yamato, get out of here with the others and prepare the ship," ordered Luffy, his firm voice echoing through the square as his eyes remained fixed on Garp.

"Yes, Luffy! Let's go," replied Yamato, leading Shirahoshi, Megalo, Alvida, and a certain Lucy away from the impending battlefield.

Garp, in turn, didn't let Luffy's provocation go unnoticed. "Don't think you'll escape this time, Luffy! And Lucy, where do you think you're going?! You're a marine!" growled Garp with a serious expression, casting a challenging look towards Lucy.

"It's true! I have to arrest you since I'm a marine!" exclaimed Lucy, her determined and comical expression, despite the cautious look from Alvida by her side.

"Let's fight, Grandpa!" declared Luffy, and immediately his Devil Fruit entered the second phase. The transformation happened spectacularly: his skin acquired a purple hue, muscles increased, and scales like armor began to appear in various parts of his body. Two horns grew on his head, enveloped in purple flames that illuminated the square, leaving everyone present in awe.

"That darn Devil Fruit, I don't know how you got it, but I'm going to beat you with my fists, you brat!" growled Garp, watching his transformed grandson with a mix of surprise and determination, much like the first time he witnessed his grandson's strange powers. The square was enveloped in an aura of tension as the confrontation between grandfather and grandson intensified while Yamato was running to get away with the others, marking a crucial moment in Loguetown.

"Is this the power of Garp's grandson? A mythical Zoan?" murmured some marines, watching with admiration Luffy's transformation.

"So hot! I can feel the heat from here!" commented another marine, stepping back a bit due to the intensity of the flames.

"So cool!" exclaimed Lucy, her eyes shining like stars at the supernatural spectacle before her.

But even with the stunning scene, Yamato and the others couldn't divert their attention for long. The marines under Garp's command, led by two Commodores, 3 Captains, 1 Commander plus Captain Smoker from Loguetown, were quickly approaching to face Luffy's crew.

"Leave that for later, we have to deal with the pirates! Let the Vice Admiral take care of his grandson!" ordered the Commodore with the most authority here, and immediately, Smoker and his comrades advanced toward Yamato and the others to prevent them from escaping. A skilled and confident captain decided to use the Soru technique to position himself strategically in Yamato's path. However, the speed of Kaido's daughter was even more surprising. Yamato acted with agility, throwing her Kanabo in the exact direction where the marine appeared, catching him off guard. Before he could react, the captain was thrown away, temporarily interrupting the Marine's assault. The square was now divided between the colossal confrontation between Luffy and Garp and the fight of the other crew members against the marines.

"Observation Haki... Tell me, Luffy, where did you find a woman with Haki in this sea?" Garp didn't divert his gaze from the events but threw the question with a tone of curiosity and at the same time, reprimand.

The grandson, with his always carefree expression, responded with a wide smile, revealing a confident and determined side. "A long story, Grandpa. I haven't learned it yet because I want to start with the six styles, but I plan to get really powerful with them in the future!"
