Luffy's skin began to turn purple again, as red runes reappeared on his body, encircled by flames on his back.

"What?!" Akainu was surprised to see Luffy transforming again.

Luffy said nothing and simply blasted the ground, Akainu's confidence quickly turning into a pained expression as his body was battered by Luffy, his bones beginning to break with his chest being hit.

'I don't have much time...' Luffy thought and quickly drew his sword, aiming to completely sever Akainu's head in slow motion, the entire place exploding just from his movement.

Akainu saw his death approaching at that moment, while Kuzan looked stunned at the development and even tried to get close, but it was already too late.

'Die...' Luffy said as his blade neared Akainu's neck, however, Akainu tried to use his last resort, exploding into lava like a volcano in all directions. Luffy saw this but continued, knowing the lava wouldn't hurt him.

The lava erupted everywhere at that moment and another explosion occurred, as a ball of lava shot into the distance, some of the own marines being hit by their admiral's attack, ready to be killed as they began to scream with the lava burning them.

In the midst of the chaos and what appeared now a lake of lava, was Luffy, with lava still dripping from his skin, but he didn't seem to care now, as his gaze fell to the ground, with a severed arm. 'He managed to dodge the attack at the last moment...' he continued staring at the arm, knowing he couldn't wait any longer, while Akainu appeared in the distance coming out of the lava ball, his arm bleeding.

In the last milliseconds of that second, Luffy exploded the ground as he flew towards the bay at high speed, passing by Akainu.

"Luffy!!!" Yamato exclaimed from Black Pearl amidst all the ships, as Luffy shot out of Marineford still rising like a missile before dropping towards the ship.

Luffy crashed onto the deck of the ship the next moment, exploding against the wood of the ship before rolling, barely able to move at this point.

"Luffy, are you okay???!!!" His crew quickly went to him as he lay on the ground looking up at the sky.

"It seems I'm just a bit tired..." Luffy commented, feeling completely drained of his akuma no mi powers at this moment and quite injured, his body no longer having any strength.

"LUFFYYY!!!" Hancock, Lucy, Nami, Vivi, Baby-5, Yamato, and even Bepo surrounded him, crying like children and hugging him the next moment.

"Hey, I need to breathe!" Luffy murmured with a muffled voice as there were many breasts in his face.

Meanwhile, Nojiko, Alvida, Lami, Reiju, Kuina, Robin were smiling with some tears of relief.

Ace, Zoro, Usopp, Jimbei, Hachi, Ivankov, and Marco, who had been teleported by Lami, had a half-smile on their faces, while Crocodile, Mr.1, Enel had an indifferent look. Hugo, Chouchou, and Chopper were still passed out.

"You can let him go, he's injured!" Shirahoshi in her giant form, exclaimed worriedly while the women seemed to come to their senses and began to move away from Luffy.

But then Shirahoshi's shadow of a hand appeared and picked him up from the deck before anyone could react, Luffy felt his body being lifted into the air before hitting the giant's face. "I'm so happy you're alive and well... Thank goodness!!" Shirahoshi began to cry, crushing Luffy against her face before she could start crying like a baby.
