In the midst of all that situation, an explosion occurred the next instant, sweeping across the entire battlefield. Saturn, being the closest at the time, was the first to receive it.

The explosion invaded all sides of the destroyed square, catching both the Whitebeard pirates and the Straw Hat crew members. Hancock still held Lucy as she moved away, quickly turned back, placing her hand a bit forward to shield herself from the wind created by Luffy, while her hair was thrown backwards. Lucy also looked dazed into the distance, not knowing what was happening.

Hachi and Bebo suddenly began to shrink, losing Luffy's ability and trying to shield themselves on the ground. The same could be said as ships began to fly out of Luffy's pocket, starting to grow and falling in the middle of the square. Nami and Kuina, already tired and injured from fighting Saturn, returned to their normal forms. Vivi, Nojiko, Alvida, and Baby 5 were there nearby the others, feeling the wind Luffy was creating.

"Luffy-Sama!!!" Shirahoshi exclaimed frightened to Luffy. She was still quite scared seeing the sight of the man she loved in a near-death state. Tears streaming with the wind blowing her hair.

Zoro also jumped to his companions amidst the chaos, while looking at Chochou, Hugo, and Chopper, lying on the ground. "We need to get them," he said, his voice slightly muffled by the wind.

At that moment, the wind began to swirl stronger, with yellow and red lightning simultaneously exploding in all directions. The marines felt it soon after, while trying to hold firm. The vice admirals, a bit recovered but still injured, looked dazed towards the end of the square closest to the bay.

"What is this?" Tsuru murmured next to the fallen vice admirals, as Yamato fought against Kizaru, looking towards Luffy. "He's okay..." Yamato said with a heavy heart, after having seen him being pierced, but he could do nothing at that moment as he was still fighting Kizaru.

The three noticed Luffy passing by them at high speed, with no one even able to react.

"What is this? What fear..." Kizaru murmured with a real sense of fear this time.

Lami and Usopp, fighting against Akainu, also felt the wind and haki at that moment, as Akainu looked on with narrowed eyes. Luffy's companions wondered what was happening to him at that moment.

Kuzan, Reiju, and Marco were also hit by the wave of Conqueror's Haki, which passed beyond the gap that Whitebeard had created, moving to the other side of the square. Meanwhile, the rest of the marines, mostly with Sengoku and Garp, looked from a distance as Garp stood up and stared wide-eyed, his shoulder sagging. "Luffy," he murmured, not understanding what was happening there and how his grandson had changed so much.

Even Sengoku, who was standing, looked wide-eyed. Whitebeard, who was knocking down Teach again as he screamed in pain, felt the impact of the Conqueror's Haki, along with Teach's other crew members shielding themselves from the wind, as the strongest man in the world turned to look at the start of the square.

This Conqueror's Haki was not limited just to that space. It began to explode more, spreading throughout all of Marineford, and advancing into the sea while generating opposing waves pushing the sea back. Thunders resonated throughout the place, with Armament Haki and echoes of thunders from a time.

"This is much more powerful than the 7 users together. What is happening to this boy?" Whitebeard murmured, surprised by Luffy's incredible sudden strength.
