[Chapter Size: 2300 Words.]
Third Person POV

Alabasta, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

While Lami, Zoro, and Reiju were going to support the other crewmates fighting across the city, Luffy continues his grueling battle against Vice-Admiral Momonga and Crocodile. The clash is intense, with waves of sonic explosions colliding in a tumult of destruction where they fight at high speed using soru. Luffy, despite his dexterity and strength enhanced by the Moa Moa no Mi, still feels the weight of the fight against these two adversaries.

Vice-Admiral Momonga, with his refined and precise swordsmanship technique, launches a series of rapid thrusts and sharp cuts. Each attack is charged with the intent to end the battle, forcing Luffy to constantly move, dodging and blocking while looking for an opening. On the other hand, Crocodile, with his ability to control and transform into sand, creates a constantly changing and unpredictable battle environment. He sends waves of sand, trying to engulf Luffy, while also defending, creating explosions with his flames hitting even Crocodile, but his body becomes intangible to avoid the attacks of the Straw Hat captain.

Luffy, in the center of this sand and steel storm, struggles to maintain control and is trying to take down Momonga with powerful blows with his fencing that started to get more decent, but still far from what he expected. This, combined with the Vice-Admiral's dexterity and his ability to predict and react to Luffy's movements, makes it difficult for Garp's grandson to land a decisive hit. Meanwhile, Crocodile takes every opportunity to attack, the sound of his sand echoing through the battlefield every time he manipulated not just the area of his body but even created large attacks with the sand from the city's ground. Luffy might be having a lot of difficulty, but he maintained a small smile on his face. He kept a smile because he was learning from each exchange of blows, Luffy even put the capabilities of the Moa Moa no Mi into learning and training during this fight. His natural ability in battle shining even under intense pressure. He begins to predict Momonga's movements every moment, finding gaps in his defense. Against Crocodile, Luffy uses his intelligence and creativity, looking for ways to get around his Logia ability and his attacks.

Luffy took a few steps back avoiding a line of sand spears when his free arm with flames started to accumulate and he launched it against Crocodile, making his flames explode everything that was on the street.

*BOOOM!!!*

*Slash*

In the midst of this, Momonga used soru and before Luffy could react, he cut with his sword filled with armament Haki his chest before jumping back to avoid Luffy's exploding flames from his body at that moment, Luffy calmly looked at his chest, he felt pain, but he was in the adrenaline of battle.

"That was a nice hit..." Luffy commented.

"..." Momonga didn't respond, he just stared at Luffy with his sword raised, ready for the next move.

*Sand*

Crocodile arrived next to the vice admiral transforming from sand into a man.

"Hahahaha. This is quite fun!" Luffy declares with a smile, suddenly, his bleeding chest began to glow and he began to heal immediately, leaving only the old blood without any wounds.

"!"

"!"

Even characters like Momonga and Crocodile couldn't help but be stunned by Luffy performing such a type of healing.

"I only knew Marco having this kind of healing, purple flames, healing, super strength and speed... You haven't even used your true zoan form as I was reported..." Momonga had a dark face, if Luffy hasn't even transformed yet in this fight, he began to have doubts if they could handle him. He began to fill his sword with Haki again, determined to give his all in this fight.

"Let's continue!" Luffy said and advances maintaining his animated smile.

In the city of Alabasta, the battle between the Straw Hat Pirates and the combined forces of the Navy and Baroque Works agents reaches its climax. The fight is intense and fierce, with Luffy's team demonstrating their abilities and powers overwhelmingly.

"Hey, can we handle them? We're losing here!" Elsewhere in the city at that moment, the marines were being massacred.

"Reinforcements!"

"Where are the commodores and the vice admiral?"

"Too late!" A female voice emerges from above, and Nojiko appears, clenching her fist before striking the group.

*BOOOOOOOM!!*

Nojiko, with her newfound confidence and enhanced abilities, descends from the skies like a force of nature. Her determination is evident on her face as she clenches her fist and hits a group of marines with a powerful blow. The explosion from her impact resonates throughout the area, sending a clear message: the Straw Hats are not easy adversaries.

"Hey, how are things going?" Nojiko turns and asks.

Usopp, with his unerring aim, is strategically positioned atop a house. Each shot he fires is calculated, precise, eliminating his targets one by one. His expression is serious and focused, each shot accompanied by an explosion and one less enemy.

*BANG!*

*BANG!*

"This area is clear," Usopp spoke.

Elsewhere.

"Is it over already, Broggy?" Dorry asked.

"It seems so, it was quite easy..." Broggy said.

Meanwhile, Broggy and Dorry, the legendary giants, cause a tremendous impact. They walk through the city like titans, each of their steps a looming threat to their enemies. They look at each other and agree that the fight was easier than they expected, observing the devastation around them, with marines and agents scattered and defeated, a testament to their overwhelming power.

Elsewhere

"Mr. All Sunday! Did you betray us?!"

Nico Robin, known to some as Miss All Sunday, faces her former Baroque Works companions. They accuse her of betrayal, but she responds with a cold calm. "You could say that, because a man changed my life." She refers to Luffy, the captain who took her in when no one else would. Using her devil fruit abilities, she immobilizes them and, with one movement, breaks their necks, ending the threat they posed.

The fight in Alabasta is showing the true power and unity of the Straw Hat Pirates. With each member playing their role and overcoming challenges, they are not just a crew; they are a family. They fight not just for themselves but for the future they wish to create together. As the dust of battle begins to settle, it becomes clear that the Straw Hats are a force to be reckoned with, ready to face any challenge the world throws at them.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!*

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!*

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!*

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!*

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!*

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!*

Amidst the chaos and destruction, the fight between Luffy and Vice-Admiral Momonga reaches a fervent climax. Luffy, with his unyielding spirit and thirst for learning, faces the skilled swordsman in a duel that seems more like an intense lesson. With each cut he receives, he learns, adapts, and improves, using the power of the Moa Moa no Mi to accelerate his learning process in an almost supernatural manner.

Momonga, with years of experience and refined technique, notices Luffy's alarming growth. The Vice-Admiral's face reveals a mix of concern. 'He's learning quickly!!' Momonga thinks, his mind racing to find a way to overcome an opponent who adapts with every passing second, but he recognizes that Luffy possesses skin so tough that not even the Haki of his blade easily penetrates. The pirate before him is not a mere novice; he is a growing threat with each movement, each exchange of blows.

Luffy, although unable to read Momonga's thoughts, can feel the tension in the air, the tacit acknowledgment from the sailor of his growing skill. He smiles, a smile that mixes pain and determination, knowing that his secret of the second Akuma no Mi is still safe. Not even his grandfather, the great Monkey D. Garp, had fully discovered the depth of his powers.

As the fight continues, Momonga desperately seeks an opening, a chance to end the confrontation that seems increasingly uncertain. He wounds Luffy repeatedly, each strike drawing blood and marking the skin, but the pirate regenerates at an astonishing speed, a demonstration of the healing power of his devil fruit. This regeneration, though powerful, comes at a cost, consuming Luffy's physical energy at a voracious rate, but he was not the same as before. Luffy has grown, evolved beyond his statistics, his energy increased.

The fight between Luffy and Momonga is more than just a physical battle; it's a test of will, skill, and the relentless spirit of a man destined to leave his mark on the world. And as the duel continues, with the city of Alabasta as its witness, it becomes clear that the world is watching the birth of a power like no other.

The sound of clashing sword strikes creates a frenetic rhythm, a duel of metal that resonates across the battlefield, showing that Luffy is parrying more and more attacks with the opponent's Haki-imbued sword. He does not retreat and maintains a smile.

"Thank you for the duel, swordsmanship has always been a problem, but our fight is making a great contribution," Luffy speaks excitedly.

"How are you doing this, pirate?!" Momonga reached the point of asking Luffy directly what is happening, even knowing that the pirate would not respond.

As Luffy and Momonga continue their sword fight, Crocodile watches, calculating the perfect moment to strike. The Shichibukai, always known for his cunning and power, decides it's time to change the course of the battle. With a subtle movement of his hands, he begins to manipulate the sand around him, concentrating it at one point.

Suddenly, the sand begins to whirl violently, forming a massive sandstorm. The swirling sandstorm rapidly grows, engulfing everything in its path. Luffy, focused on his fight against Momonga, barely notices the approaching danger until it's too late. The sandstorm envelops him, dragging him away from his duel with the Vice-Admiral and throwing him into the midst of the swirling chaos.

"That was good..." Momonga said, observing the huge sandstorm spinning in the middle of the street more than 20 meters off the ground.

"They got me here..." Inside the sandstorm, Luffy murmurs, despite the attack being powerful, his natural defense prevented this attack from being dangerous, his skin already not letting Momonga's Haki-imbued sword penetrate easily, hence Luffy didn't suffer any fatal blow, now this sandstorm did more tickling than damage to him, although it created small cuts on his body.

"I didn't want it to come to this, but let's finish this, since I've reached my limit in learning swords with Momonga, I won't last much longer healing myself all the time from his blows..." Luffy decides to end the fight and looks around him, with almost no visibility and the cutting sand making each movement difficult, Luffy struggles to stay firm.

Crocodile, from the outside, watches the scene with a cold and satisfied smile. He knows that the sandstorm is one of his most powerful techniques, capable of disorienting and wearing down even the strongest opponent.

Meanwhile, Momonga watches the development with a serious expression, wondering if they would finally end the fight. Despite his loyalty to the Navy, there's a glimpse of respect for Luffy's skill development, feeling that it was a waste for Garp's grandson to follow a different path from his sister, Lucy.

As both watched the sandstorm waiting for it to consume Luffy, suddenly, purple flames erupt within the sandstorm, consuming the sand and transforming the whirlwind of sand into a vortex of purple fire. The flames, fueled by the strength of the wind and the very sand, consuming it, grow in intensity and power, creating a spectacle of destruction and beauty.

Suddenly, the sandstorm heads towards the two.

"What?!" Crocodile, surprised and furious at the unexpected turn, watches the sandstorm that now turns against him. His attempts to control and dissipate the fire are futile; the purple flames are fueled by the very force of the sandstorm he created, becoming stronger and more intense with each passing moment.

"What?" Momonga, equally surprised, realizes that the situation has taken a dangerous and unpredictable turn. He tries to dodge.

As the purple fire sandstorm continues to spin with indomitable fury, all watch with a mix of awe and terror. The flames of chaos, once unleashed, seem to have a will of their own, consuming everything in their path with relentless intensity.

Luffy, at the center of the hurricane, turning Crocodile's sand trap into a hell of purple fire, had launched that bomb of chaos flames upon them. The firestorm sped toward them, scorching the ground at high velocity; as it neared, they had already jumped back, but the hurricane exploded in all directions, turning Crocodile into scattered sand and burning an arm of Momonga, who had to throw his navy cape away with the chaos flames.

"Let's start the second round..." Luffy comments amidst the smoke, and his form is revealed to the two men, one trying to soothe the pain of his burned arm and the other gathering sand for his normal form, both frowning at that unexpected attack from Luffy.

As the smoke and burnt sand settle, a figure emerges from the center of what was once the hurricane. Luffy, now transformed, stands in the middle of the battlefield. Luffy's metamorphosis into phase 2 is spectacular and impressive every time he transforms. Making his adversaries look with a bit of horror at Luffy, feeling that Luffy was several times stronger. His strength increases exponentially, raising his statistics to extraordinary levels.

Crocodile and Momonga, still observing Luffy's transformation, feel a shockwave pass through them. They knew Luffy was a formidable opponent, but the sight of the Straw Hat captain transformed makes them recognize the real danger he represents.

Luffy, with his eyes glowing with fierce determination and his body emanating power, prepares to continue the fight. He is ready to face his opponents with newfound strength!
