Chapter 177 - Chapter 177 Fifth Gear Nika Appears! Luffy VS Three Admirals!

Seeing that no one else could come to Luffy's rescue, Akainu immediately stopped holding back, gripping his lava fist and charging towards Luffy.

At the same time, Aokiji and Kizaru also moved in unison, sandwiching Luffy from both sides.

In an instant, Luffy found himself in the same predicament as Whitebeard had been earlier.

"It's over, brat!"

Seeing their three-way pincer attack formed, Akainu immediately declared Luffy's death sentence.

However, just as his words fell, he saw Luffy suddenly curve his lips upward, revealing a sneer of disdain.

This ignited Akainu's anger even more intensely.

But before he could react, he heard Luffy suddenly say in a deep voice.

"Fifth Gear!"

Akainu was still somewhat confused about what Luffy was saying, then he heard a strange sound.

Thump-thump!

Thump-thump!

A strange drumming sound suddenly began.

Even though the entire battlefield was extremely chaotic, this sound seemed to possess a penetrating quality, reaching everyone's ears.

Just as everyone was puzzled by this sound.

Crack!

Crack!

Terrifying purple-black lightning suddenly erupted across the battlefield.

At the same time, an incredibly terrifying and powerful aura suddenly swept across the battlefield, causing countless people to feel a deep sense of dread.

Everyone looked in horror towards the direction of the aura.

They saw a figure wearing a Straw Hat with an astonishing presence; even just standing there quietly, he made countless people feel an oppressive force so strong it seemed to suffocate them.

At this moment, terrifying purple-black lightning was constantly and furiously exploding around his body.

Pits were blasted open everywhere, and shattered rocks flew through the air.

Meanwhile, people saw.

White smoke was actually emanating from Luffy's body.

And with the appearance of this white smoke, Luffy's hair, clothes, and his entire body instantly turned pure white.

Moreover, a white cloud of flame, like a flowing ribbon, floated around his neck.

When they saw Luffy's brand new form, everyone on the entire battlefield was stunned.

Although most people didn't know why Luffy had suddenly transformed like this, the aura and energy emanating from Luffy in this form made countless people feel fear and shock.

However, some people recognized Luffy's appearance at a glance.

...

Holy Land Mary Geoise!

Bang!

Saint Warcury slammed the table and sprang up from his chair.

Looking at Luffy on the screen, he said in shock.

"This is..."

Saint Nasujuro frowned tightly, his eyes also filled with shock, and he said excitedly.

"There's no mistake!"

"This is the awakened form of that 'God' Devil Fruit!"

Saint Mars's eyes held worry and disbelief, and he exclaimed.

"I can't believe he actually managed to awaken this Devil Fruit that hasn't awakened in 800 years."

"Are we still a step too late?"

Pitte Saint frowned, immediately realizing the seriousness of the problem, and said in a deep voice.

"This is bad! It's still being broadcast live globally; this form is going to be seen by the whole world."

"We need to contact Sengoku quickly and have him cut the broadcast!"

"We absolutely cannot let the world see more information about this Devil Fruit."

With that, Pitte Saint quickly took out a den den mushi and contacted Sengoku.

...

Revolutionary Army Headquarters!

Looking at Luffy, who had suddenly changed his appearance on the screen, Dragon's eyes suddenly widened, and he said excitedly.

"Luffy... he really succeeded!"

The others didn't understand what Dragon was saying.

"Succeeded? But hasn't Ace been rescued yet?"

Someone asked in confusion.

Dragon did not answer this question, but instead said to those present.

"Immediately summon the cadres scattered around the world back!"

"The Final Day... is coming soon!"

...

Elbaf!

In a large square of the Giant Race, a group of Giants sat around a huge screen, watching the images on it.

When they saw Luffy appear in this form, the crowd immediately became agitated.

"Hey! Isn't that the form of the God recorded by our race?"

"It certainly looks like it!"

"How strange! Why would an outsider know the form of our race's God?"

Just as these people were puzzled by this, a person covered in bandages in the crowd suddenly became extremely agitated, his pupils even trembling.

This person was none other than Saul, the former Marine Vice Admiral who had helped Robin escape Ohara.

After surviving that incident, he had lived incognito in Elbaf.

However, a few months after the Ohara incident, he led a group of giants back there and salvaged all the books and research materials that the scholars had desperately protected, bringing them to Elbaf.

Later, Vegapunk found him again and secretly researched these materials.

As a result, they discovered some astonishing information in these materials.

That was, the scholars of Ohara had recorded their research on the Void Century in these materials.

It was for this reason that Saul knew some things about the Void Century.

The information about the Warrior of Liberation, Joy Boy, and the Sun God Nika had always been deeply etched in his heart.

And he had always been waiting for the person who inherited Joy Boy's will to appear.

Now, upon seeing Luffy in the same form as the legendary Warrior of Liberation, he became extremely excited.

He immediately stood up and said to the several giants in the square.

"Kashi! Oimo! Go quickly and invite the two leaders back!"

"A major event is about to happen!"

...

Zou!

The Mink Tribe was watching the live broadcast, and all the sounds from the screen entered Zunesha's ears.

When Zunesha heard those familiar drumbeats, he immediately became incredibly excited and agitated.

"Joy Boy... is back!"

...

Marineford!

The Three Admirals were simultaneously rushing towards Luffy.

Suddenly seeing Luffy transform into this appearance, they immediately showed shocked expressions.

Aokiji subconsciously exclaimed.

"This is..."

"Devil Fruit Awakening!"

Although he had never seen Luffy's awakened form, the unique flame cloud of Zoan-type awakened ability users allowed Aokiji to identify it at a glance.

However, after the exclamation, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Isn't Luffy's rubber fruit a Paramecia type?

But before Aokiji could think more.

He suddenly felt unstable, like drifting on a boat in turbulent waves.

This scene made Aokiji and the other two Admirals instantly confused.

They subconsciously glanced at the ground, and all three's pupils simultaneously constricted.

They saw that the entire ground suddenly seemed to have turned into undulating waves, but they clearly felt that the sensation under their feet was extremely elastic, more like stepping on rubber.

Suddenly noticing Luffy with a smile on his face in front of them, the Three Admirals simultaneously reacted sharply, exclaiming in unison.

"It even has the transformation ability of a Paramecia awakening?"

"Oh! How terrifying! A single Devil Fruit actually possesses both Zoan and Paramecia awakening abilities at the same time."

"What kind of Devil Fruit is this exactly?"

All three were extremely shocked and confused by this.

However, at this moment, they no longer had time to think that much.

They had already arrived in front of Luffy and simultaneously launched attacks from three directions.

"Hellhound!"

Akainu attacked first, directly using his strongest close-range move.

Akainu's arm, transformed into magma, instantly stretched, directly striking towards Luffy's head.

Akainu was very confident in this move.

At this range, as long as it wasn't a Logia-type ability user unaffected by magma, they would absolutely not be able to dodge his extremely fast attack.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly widened his eyes, revealing an expression of disbelief.

As his fist struck towards Luffy, Luffy's head suddenly twisted and deformed into a crescent shape, just like a Logia-type's body flow, perfectly avoiding the range of his fist's attack.

In Fifth Gear state, Luffy could freely transform any part of his body into any shape he could imagine.

To the extent that he even displayed an ability comparable to a Logia-type's body flow.

And with Luffy's Observation Haki, which could predict the future, dodging this move was effortless.

But Akainu was stunned to see this scene, and subconsciously exclaimed in disbelief.

"How is that possible?!"

Just as he was shocked by this, Luffy's fist had already flown towards him.

"Rubber · White Star Gun!"

Luffy's arm suddenly thickened and elongated, at a twisted angle, circling to Akainu's left side, and striking towards his head.

Feeling the danger, Akainu subconsciously also wanted to use the characteristic of body flow to dodge Luffy's attack.

But the moment he tried to activate his ability, he incredibly found that his body was unable to elementalize for that one instant.

"What's going on?"

Akainu was shocked again.

But at this moment, Luffy's fist had already struck his head.

And what made everyone around feel incredible was that they saw Luffy's punch deform Akainu's head, as if it had turned into a thin film wrapped around Luffy's fist.

Even his eyeballs were punched out, looking extremely bizarre.

Boom!

A roar sounded, and Akainu was finally sent flying violently, leaving a streak of blood spraying in the air.

While Luffy was attacking Akainu, Kizaru's laser had already shot out.

However, Luffy had already foreseen this scene.

While one of his fists was attacking Akainu, his other hand had already reached towards the ground.

Just as Kizaru's laser was about to hit him, he actually lifted a section of the ground and held it in front of him.

And that laser directly struck the ground in Luffy's hand.

What shocked Kizaru and everyone on the scene again was that after the laser struck the ground in Luffy's hand, it was actually repelled, shooting back towards Kizaru along its original path.

Kizaru suddenly widened his eyes, his expression extremely shocked.

Like Akainu, he also wanted to use body elementalization to dodge this attack.

But when he intended to activate his ability, he felt the same shock and disbelief as Akainu.

He found that his body was also unable to elementalize.

Without time to be shocked, Kizaru immediately flashed, narrowly dodging the attack.

"Rubber · Mole Gun!"

Luffy violently punched the ground, and a rising attack from the ground under Kizaru's feet sent him flying into the sky.

It wasn't until the moment he was sent flying into the sky that Kizaru suddenly realized he could elementalize again.

At this point, he finally reacted, exclaiming in disbelief.

"He can even turn our bodies into rubber?"

"This ability is too much of a cheat!"

The reason why he and Akainu were unable to elementalize just now was that Luffy utilized the rubber ground they were in contact with to turn their bodies into rubber as well.

Thus temporarily preventing them from elementalizing.

However, Logia-type ability users are different from others; they themselves have the ability to change their bodies, and completely restricting them requires a certain amount of power.

Therefore, Luffy only used this ability at critical moments.

After blocking and sending Kizaru flying, Luffy suddenly leaped up, directly into the air.

And the moment he left the ground, Aokiji's ice shot at that spot, freezing that area.

Although Aokiji's ice attack speed was slightly slower than Kizaru's laser, Luffy had no means to block it at this time, so he could only dodge this attack first.

Seeing Luffy leap into the air, Aokiji said faintly.

"It's useless!"

"In the air, you have even less space to dodge."

As he spoke, the ice in his hand pursued Luffy, shooting towards the sky together.

Seeing Luffy had reached the highest point and showed signs of stopping, Aokiji already thought Luffy was about to be frozen.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw Luffy actually running in mid-air.

As if on solid ground, he easily dodged his ice attack again.

This scene made Aokiji shocked.

"He can even move in the air?!"

"This Devil Fruit's ability is a bit too outrageous?!"

Two types of awakened abilities, arbitrary transformation comparable to a Logia type, even being able to turn opponents into rubber to restrict their abilities, and now even being able to move freely in the air.

All these abilities are provided by one Devil Fruit.

This made Aokiji unable to help but complain about the outrageousness of this Devil Fruit.

However, Luffy did not give him much time to be shocked.

After noticing Aokiji had a momentary pause due to shock, he immediately activated his ability.

"Rubber · White Whip!"

Luffy suddenly twisted his body rapidly in place.

And in the process of returning to his original state, his leg, covered in Armament Haki, rapidly extended with the help of inertia, kicking towards Aokiji.

Boom!

This kick was extremely fast, with no time to dodge, and Aokiji was sent flying with a single kick.

From being besieged by the Three Admirals to Luffy transforming and sending them flying one by one, only a few tens of seconds had passed.

And it was this brief moment that completely shocked the entire world.

Countless people on the battlefield were extremely shocked and incredulous by this.

The Marines were all terrified and fearful of the power Luffy displayed.

"No... that's impossible?! He actually sent all Three Admirals flying!"

"What the hell is this Devil Fruit? How can it have so many abilities?"

"Even Whitebeard was heavily injured by the combined efforts of the Three Admirals, but Straw Hat sent the Three Admirals flying without taking any damage! Is this really not a dream?"

"Has Straw Hat surpassed Whitebeard and become the strongest in the world?"

For a moment, all the Marines had such thoughts in their hearts and deeply feared Luffy.

The pirates were also deeply shaken by Luffy's power, but they felt no fear, instead, their fighting spirit was ignited.

"Su... sugei! Ace's brother is too strong!"

"It's truly astonishing that he can face the Three Admirals alone."

"With Straw Hat there, he'll definitely be able to rescue Ace!"

Sengoku and Whitebeard, who had been fighting, stopped at this moment.

Both their eyes revealed shock.

Sengoku subconsciously exclaimed,

"How is that possible?!"

"Is Straw Hat really that strong?"

After the shock, came endless worry.

How much effort would it take for them to defeat such a powerful enemy?

Whitebeard's pupils also constricted, and he exclaimed,

"This brat…"

He didn't finish his sentence, but his eyes showed a mix of emotion and excitement.

He sighed inwardly,

"White Warrior, a free fighting form, always filled with laughter…"

"Roger, I think I've found the person you were waiting for."

Before his execution, Roger had sought out Whitebeard and told him the truth of the world.

Naturally, he was also aware of Luffy's current appearance.

That's why he was so excited at this moment.

Just then, the sound of a den den mushi suddenly rang in both their ears.

Sengoku quickly took out his den den mushi.

An urgent voice immediately came from the other end.

"Sengoku, cut off the live broadcast immediately!"

Hearing this voice, Sengoku immediately knew the person on the other end was Pitte Saint.

But he was puzzled.

"Why suddenly…?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Pitte Saint say in an irrefutable tone,

"Don't say so much, just cut off the live broadcast quickly."
