Luffy remained there, watching Kuma maintain the same position while his flames burned, warming the environment around them.

"Tsk." Seeing his opponent stationary, he decided to act. With a quick movement, he blasted the ground, flying towards the Shichibukai, quickly catching up with him using his phase 2 speed.

He tensed his muscles as he clenched his fist, arriving in front of Kuma, and unleashed his punch with great effort against the Cyborg. However, Kuma simply raised his hand and Luffy punched his palm with the bear paw.

What happened next was a childish sound, as if a child squeezed his rubber ducky, creating that sound. Luffy was stunned as he lost all the impact of his force; we were quite amazed by this akuma no mi of Kuma.

With his punch being diverted by Kuma's power, the Shichibukai didn't remain idle; And with his other hand, Kuma pointed it open in front of Luffy and, before the pirate could react, a shock field emerged from the paw, catching Luffy and throwing him back as he flew, lifting trees and ground, going straight for 50 meters until it exploded.

Luffy didn't immediately emerge from the middle of that explosion. Like Kuma, who had been waiting in the same place. Then, in the midst of all that dust, a glow happened and flames began firing against the cyborg. Kuma looked at it calmly and raised his hands again, launching also numerous paw-shaped balls, sending them against the flames. The first air ball that collided with the fireball created a huge explosion between shock and pressure against the flame explosion. And it was not limited to just that one, numerous fireballs from Luffy began to collide with Kuma's air balls, creating countless explosions.

The island began to have constant explosions echoing throughout, at this moment, while all the people did not stop looking this way at the moment.

"This," murmured Usopp, quickly sensing what was happening with his observation haki.

"What's happening?" Nami asked, looking at all those explosions knowing Luffy was there fighting, with his purple flames.

"Luffy is fighting someone else, and someone much stronger than Moria," Usopp commented with a calm face.

And while the explosions continued elsewhere, Moria finally woke up after being stunned, breathing heavily. Removing his stones, he started to leave the place, looking at the battle happening.

"I will take revenge," he spoke frustrated.

Meanwhile, the flames and balls finally stopped exploding. Kuma saw Luffy flying using his wings while preparing his sword emitting red electricity. He pointed it at the Shichibukai and launched a lightning bolt at Kuma without caring about Moria awakened perceiving through his haki.

The bolt traveled through the space at high speed, yet was stopped as soon as it hit Kuma's palm, accumulating energy to be reflected, while the lightning illuminated the entire sky of Thriller Bark, but not hitting Luffy, because he was no longer in the air.

Luffy took advantage of this time as he disappeared from in front of the attack and landed beside Kuma blasting the ground and, before Kuma could react, Luffy fired a powerful punch into an opening. A Cyborg flying devastated through the island, while exploding the ground with his own body. The impact was so strong that it dragged through half of the place,

While there were some people hiding in the forest, who were approaching, curious to see what was happening, quickly saw the ground rising in front of them, unable to react, being hit as they flew out, screaming frightened. And Kuma finally came out of the end of the explosion showing no emotions, while he looked a bit hurt.
