AN:- SORRY FOR NOT UPLOADING YESTERDAY, BUT MY INTERNET WAS FUCKED UP. ANYWAYS, HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY CHAPTER 57.
[PREVIOUSLY ON GAMER PIECE]
The Force which is pushing Luffy dwindles, and Luffy controls his body, spinning and landing on the ground, sliding—
Right in the middle of the Battle between Vergo and Hanafuda.
Luffy immediately removes another Rumble Ball, knowing he needs to use it here and now. Even though he is exhausted from fighting Don Accino, he knows he needs to continue fighting to get stronger. He got stronger from fighting Don, and he is going to continue fighting.
"That's some heavy power you got there, buddy? You okay?" Hanafuda asks Luffy, making Luffy look at him. The battle has stopped due to Luffy's arrival, and now, it might get started once again depending on who attacks first.
"Monkey D. Luffy, the Captain of Rai Adam. I am sorry for this, but my Captain wants you dead." Vergo, hardened through the use of Armament Haki, turns his sights towards Luffy, holding his Armament Haki imbued sword. Luffy surveys both of them, noticing that while Vergo has some damage done to him, Hanafuda doesn't have any. That means he is either good at hiding it, or is very strong.
Luffy received a Haki bloom when he tried sensing like Rai, and now can better analyze opponents. He can feel Hanafuda is MUCH stronger than Vergo, and so, he needs to defeat Vergo first. Luffy sets his sight and his Observation Haki on Vergo, who takes this as an invitation to attack.
Luffy tosses the second Rumble Ball into his mouth and bites on it, his hair flowing even more, right as Vergo appears in front of him with speed superior to Luffy, slashing him. The slash connects, making Luffy bleed, but Luffy immediately shoots his dick at Vergo's face, making Vergo shocked and disgusted. Vergo pulls his head back, as Luffy's kneecap extends from Luffy's body, hitting Vergo, doing nothing.
Luffy tries to jump, mostly in pain, but his head extends instead. Hanafuda looks on, amused at the situation. He decides to see what's going on, so he backs off a little, just seeing what Luffy can do for now. Luffy's head comes back down to his body, as Luffy realizes his body is out of whack, similar to how it was against Shamrock. Luffy is annoyed, in pain, and determined to defeat both Vergo and Hanafuda.
So Luffy does the only move he knows he can do in this state. Luffy compresses all of his body into himself, similar to what he did against Shamrock. Vergo looks confused, but alert. Hanafuda looks excited, as he can sense something awesome is going to happen.
Vergo, seeing Luffy not moving, moves in for an attack, making the biggest mistake of his life.
"Hito Hito No:- MAXIMUM FIREWORKS PYTHON!" Even though Luffy's voice is muffled, the intent is not. Vergo senses something, so he barely raises his bamboo to block Luffy's fists, but Vergo bends a little as a kick slams him in the side. Vergo tries to reorganize himself, but he gets hit in the back by the elbow, a headbutt to the kneecap, a finger hitting in Vergo's anus, Luffy's ass slamming into Vergo's face. All of the body parts start pelting Vergo from all the sides, as Vergo stopped blocking attacks, defending against them instead.
Luffy knows that this attack is not working, as Vergo has not moved from his place. This attack won't work as Vergo has hardened himself to the muscles with Armament Haki, so his defense is high right now. Luffy decides to go up a notch, as he retracts all of his limbs back into himself, before buffing a little.
More smoke emerges from his body as he uses Gear 3 once again. Luffy remembers what Rai told him once again, and grits his teeth. He clenches his body parts until he can't, and
"JET FIREWORKS PYTHON!" Luffy once again screams his attack, this time the attack is MUCH faster, hitting Vergo with a lot more force than it previously did. Vergo still isn't massively affected, though, taking all of the attacks. Luffy still remembers what Rai told him, as he WILLS every attack to land regardless of the defense put up by Vergo. Vergo gets a beating, but with his defense, he is able to shrug it off—
Until a punch, which has stored kinetic energy, slams into him, making him recoil in pain. This moment leads to more punches and kicks hitting Vergo, Luffy's dick slapping him across the face while Luffy's butt slams into Vergo's middle area. Thankfully, none of these attacks have kinetic energy stored in them, as Luffy cannot fully control the release of the kinetic energy due to his out-of-control body.
Until a kick slams into Vergo's arm, releasing the stored kinetic energy and breaking it, making Vergo scream—
Luffy's dick slams into Vergo's open mouth, making him choke.
Luffy's ass slams into Vergo's middle area, making him wince, as from the ass, kinetic energy is released, destroying his poor little brother. More and more hits slam into Vergo as Vergo's defense has fallen, his Armament clad body… not being clad in Armament Haki anymore. Vergo gets pelted from all sides, and that is when a punch lands on his face, this time surrounded by his WILL to hit Vergo by any means—
Vergo, who is profusely bleeding as the attacks destroy his body, gets knocked out as he stands, his brain rattled due to the punch clad by Luffy's WILL. If Vergo fell to the ground at that very moment, he would have survived all the attacks, but unfortunately, his body is standing still, making Luffy think Vergo is still standing. The barrage of attacks continues, with Luffy WILLING all of the punches to somehow land on Vergo. First, one clad with his Will, after five more attacks, another attack is clad with Luffy's WILL, another 3 attacks later, an attack is clad with Luffy's will.
Luffy is hitting Vergo with his WILLPOWER, and he receives a notification—
DUE TO CONTINUOUS USAGE, SKILL
As if a switch has been turned on, every single one of Luffy's attacks is hardened through his new skill, Armament Haki. The knowledge on how to use his new skill flows into Luffy's brain, and Luffy's control over how he encases his hand with his willpower, hardening it, increases. Every attack is hardened through the use of Armament Haki, including body parts like Luffy's dick, which slam into the now unconscious body of Vergo—
Until Vergo just collapses to the ground, dead. Luffy Really doesn't care Much, as he has other things to focus, namely Hanafuda.
While Hanafuda knows that Vergo is knocked out and Luffy was just attacking an already dead man, he didn't care much, more interested in the fact that Luffy, right after unlocking Armament Haki, could use it repeatedly. Also, he is excited to fight Luffy next, seeing his growth.
Sensing Luffy's Haki, Hanafuda knows that Luffy has grown considerably stronger in both of his fights against Don Accino and Vergo, and is excited for a good fight before he kills Luffy and takes his Devil Fruit.
For Hanafuda, Luffy's devil fruit is a mystery. From what he knows, the Devil Fruit is a Paramecia, and from what he saw briefly in the Livestream that Rai did when blowing up Enies Lobby, Luffy is somehow able to transform, which should not happen in a Paramecia. Honestly, the reason he came here was just to pass some time, as he is going to go see his kids soon enough.
But, seeing Luffy fight and defeat two people stronger than him, growing stronger considerably through each battle made him confirm two things. One, Luffy's fruit is definitely Zoan, he knows as he has been hunting those types of fruits for a long time. Second, Hanafuda is excited to fight him. As he sees Luffy retract all of his limbs and body parts back into himself, reverting to normal, with his weird form. Hanafuda grins, spinning his iron spike ball around before tossing towards Luffy like a cannon, infusing Haki in it through the chains he is holding in his hands.
Luffy's eyes widen, as he senses a strong Armament Haki infused in the iron ball, making Luffy duck—
But Luffy's head shoots high in the air, right as the iron ball slams into him, but Luffy already coated the area of impact with Armament Haki, negating some amount of damage, but due to Hanafuda having a much stronger Haki than him, Luffy is sent flying in pain, his head snapping back into its original position. Luffy crashes to the ground, right as Hanafuda jumps in the air, spinning his sickle as he throws it towards Luffy, cutting the air as it reaches Luffy, who jumps upwards, swinging his leg as a wind slash erupts, rushing towards Hanafuda, who blocks it by pulling the chains, bringing the spike metal ball in front of the wind slash, still imbued with Armament, destroying the wind slash.
"HITO HITO NO—PYTHON!" Luffy hardens his arms and shoots towards Hanafuda, but his eyes pop out instead, rushing towards Hanafuda, who chuckles at the absurdity of Luffy's Devil Fruit. Hanafuda pulls the chains, making the sickle be pulled back, being aimed at Luffy's exposed eyelids, which Luffy senses with Observation Haki. He knows that even if he were to harden it with Armament Haki, the cut would still occur, leading him to lose eyeballs—
Luffy kicks the air as he gets pulled along with his eyeballs, making Hanafuda chuckle. Rather than pull back the attack in fear of getting his eyes cut off, he jumped right into the danger, without a care of fear. This is gonna be more exciting than he thought. Right as Luffy rockets towards him, Hanafuda hardens his arm with Armament Haki, slamming his fists into Luffy's incoming face, which Luffy dodges in the nick of time by pulling it downwards, missing the punch. Luffy immediately pulls his head upwards, wrapping around Hanafuda's extended hand like a snake.
The entire body snaps back, slamming into Hanafuda as Luffy jumps back, noticing that Hanafuda is not at all affected. He needs to use Armament Haki all the time to damage it, so he decides to use the same method Vergo used when fighting against him earlier.
Hardening every part of the body with Armament Haki, increasing both his offense and defense.
Hanafuda can sense Luffy's entire body turning black, with a red tint all around his body. Luffy grits his teeth, feeling the strain of using the new technique, along with his burnt knuckles with his fight against Don Accino, his body being pushed to the limit against Vergo all affect him right now, which Hanafuda takes note of, but doesn't use it to his advantage. One of the biggest weaknesses of using the second Rumble Ball is that it leads to him having no control over how he uses his Devil Fruit. If he tried to punch, a random body part will shoot, but he will still have the rubbery nature.
Luffy is still trying to control his body, thinking of ways so that he doesn't shove a dick in someone's mouth—
Even Luffy found that disgusting, and he doesn't know why.
Luffy throws punches, kicks and all of his body parts, clad in Armament Haki, and Hanafuda either dodges some parts (dick, ass, ears etc.) or blocks some coming towards him, but he doesn't go offensive. Luffy doesn't know why, but he uses this chance to think of a way to control his uncontrollable body—
"Surasshu"
*SLASH*
"AHHHHHHHH!!" With a speed that Luffy barely reacts to, Hanafuda slashes towards Luffy, sending a wind slash point-blank that Luffy isn't able to dodge. Even with Armament Haki hardening every part of his body, a huge cut appears in Luffy's chest, making him collapse and hold his chest in pain, screaming.
"You know, I am disappointed." Hanafuda shows a disappointed expression, as he crouches down towards Luffy, who is wiggling in pain. He puts his sickle on his shoulder, looking at Luffy.
"You have a Zoan, a Mythical from the looks of it, with the ability to somehow affect your opponents, and all you do is punch and kick? You don't even have proper control over your ability, only just now unlocked Armament Haki, and you think you would be able to defeat me?" Hanafuda looks more amused than angry, as he spins the iron spike ball in his other hand, looking at Luffy in contempt as Luffy grits his teeth, looking at Hanafuda.
Luffy ignores Hanafuda while trying to think of a way to fix the issue of his Devil Fruit, trying to remember anything he can about it. He needs to fix the issue, fast, or else he would lose. Luffy refuses to lose, as he has come this far, has gotten this strong, only to lose because he cannot control his Devil Fruit—
Luffy remembers all of the techniques he has learned till now, from his Devil Fruit technique to his Rokushiki techniques, and he remembers something. Luffy remembers his fight against Rob Lucci, and how Lucci seemed to manipulate his body mass in order to make himself faster. He remembers Rai explaining something about Seimei Kikan—
[FLASHBACK]
"Biofeedback?" Luffy speaks up in the Party system, as Chopper is explaining how Tumble Ball works. Everyone listens to it, but doesn't really care, as this is something only Chopper and Rai talk about regularly.
"Yeah, that's how Rumble Ball works, by affecting your brain cells—"
"What's brain cells?" Luffy asks, not at all understanding what Chopper is explaining, which makes Chopper open his mouth—
"Brain cells are how your brain works." Luffy looks at Rai, who is sitting on Merry as Luffy, Robin, Franky and Rai all go towards Sabaody Archipelago. Luffy blinks, and—
"Oh, okay." Luffy acts as if he understands it all, but Rai knows that Luffy doesn't. While Rai would normally leave it at that, he decides to explain a little bit more.
"If someone controls their biofeedback, they can control their entire body, something like this." Rai points towards his head, where hair starts growing at a massive rate, touching the ship, before the hair moves like a snake, approaching Luffy.
"What—SHISHISHISHISHI!!" Luffy starts giggling as he is tickled by the hair, as Rai continues explaining.
"Through controlling the way your brain cells send their signals to the body, you can control your body, that's biofeedback." Rai finally stops tickling Luffy, as Chopper continues, correctly guessing Luffy not understanding what signals Rai is talking about.
"When we want to move the body, for example, a finger, our brain cells send a signal towards the nervous system. A nervous system is how our bodies move, so if we can control the 'signal' being sent towards the nervous system, we can completely control our body." Luffy blinks, not knowing what is going on, but Rai, knowing how Luffy's mind works by now, explains in the simplest terms he could understand.
"Just imagine you want your rubbery brain to heal yourself, or to control your movements, you will do it, or figure it out yourself." Rai shrugs, before going back to eating his food. Luffy, seeing it, jumps at Rai, ignoring Chopper's disappointed sigh.
[FLASHBACK ENDS]
Luffy grits his teeth, pulling his head a little upwards to see his wound, seeing a huge cut across the chest, similar to Zoro's.
"You really aren't worthy of having a 2.5 billion bounty on your head if you couldn't even have mastery over your Devil Fruit. Honestly, I expected more from you." Hanafuda extends his hands towards Luffy's face, but Luffy doesn't focus on that. He doesn't focus on the pain, but on what Hanafuda said.
He doesn't have full mastery over his Devil Fruit. This comment makes Luffy… grin.
"Imagine." Luffy whispers, making Hanafuda narrow his eyes, not understanding WHY Luffy is blabbering nonsense, but suddenly, Luffy exhales a huge amount of air from his body, pushing up towards the air. Hanafuda is surprised, as he didn't think that Luffy would have so much air inside of his body. Luffy, who is in the air, removes potions from the inventory, drinking a lot of it as his body heals. The burn of skin, muscles, nerves and even blood is all healed, his cut from the chest is all healed.
Luffy focuses on the feeling of his skin knitting itself back together, remembering what Rai talked about. Biofeedback, allowing his rubbery brain to send commands towards the rest of the body. Luffy grits his teeth as he closes his eyes, concentrating. The momentum finally stops, making Luffy fall back to the ground, towards Hanafuda who looks amused to see what Luffy has planned.
Luffy snaps his eyes open, as he clenches his fist, making it iron. He remembered how he had to clench his muscles so hard that it became iron, but now, with a little clutch of his hand, his muscles became iron. Luffy, as he falls to the ground, puts his thumbs into his mouth, remembering only one word, as a mantra.
"Imagine." He doesn't know why, but that word resonates with him. Luffy's arms start growing big, as Luffy hardens them with Armament Haki, before increasing the speed of pumping his blood, smoke appearing in his body. Luffy grits his teeth, before throwing the first giant punch—
"HITO HITO NO - HARDEN GIANT GATTLING!!" The first punch reaches Hanafuda, who blocks it with his sickle, before the second punch is launched, reaching Hanafuda who hardens his arms with Armament Haki, blocking the second punch. Luffy pulls back his arms, and it listens, coming back as Luffy throws another punch, upon punch, upon punch, upon punch.
Punches upon punches rain down on Hanafuda, who takes all of the punches head on, his hands hardened with Armament Haki, clashing with Luffy's gigantic punches. Punches upon punches are clashed with punches upon punches, but Luffy notices something appearing in front of him.
DUE TO CONTINUOUS USE, THE SKILL
Luffy grins, as the gigantic arm expands all of a sudden, twice the size of normal. Two large-sized punches continue to slam into Hanafuda, but Luffy doesn't end it there. Luffy enlarges his legs to the same size as his arms, hardening it with Armament Haki and Tekkai, before slamming it into Hanafuda's small figure.
"GIGANT BODY GATTLING!!" Luffy screams, slamming his arms and legs into Hanafuda, who takes it all. As each punch fell towards Hanafuda, who clashes with it without fail, Luffy's experience in
"HITO HITO NO - NUCLEAR CANNON!" Luffy brings his arms down in such speed that it ignites for a second, but that is gone as Luffy slams into Hanafuda, who has his eyes widened as he notices something. He immediately covers his entire body with Armament Haki as he grits his teeth, his eyes turning into slits. As the gigantic fists land, Luffy releases all the kinetic energy he gathered from attacking Hanafuda using the Gatling—
*BOOM*
A thunderclap of a sound is heard across the entire island. The entire area where Luffy and Hanafuda were fighting has evaporated by the force of Luffy's attack, which is MUCH stronger than the one he used before. Luffy's arm deflates, but Luffy can sense it is not over yet. He is ready, back up using Seimei Kikan, before landing on some kind of land, at least what is remaining. He can sense his crew, still waiting (AN:- THIS POWER IS EQUAL TO HIS KING GONG GUN, WHICH HE USED IN DRESSROSA BTW)
He is not gonna let them wait any longer, as he has grown considerably stronger than before this fight happened—
Luffy senses Hanafuda's power increasing, right as a cut appears in Luffy's chest—
Not one cut, but two. Luffy chokes on his blood as his neck is cut too, and he immediately uses Seimei Kikan to close the wound by stitching the sliced skin together, but unfortunately, he doesn't have time to do the same to his chest as another two slashes appear, in his back. Luffy collapses to the ground, bleeding profusely as he watches his HP go down. Luffy, through willpower not to die, looks up to the person who did this to him, Hanafuda.
Hanafuda looks different, his eyes changed into golden slits. His body became bulkier and more muscular, with thick, scaly skin that resembled a combination of dragon hide and Komodo lizard texture. Arms and legs elongate slightly, turning more reptilian, with claws replacing fingernails. His jawline extends, and his nose flattens, resembling a dragon-snouted Komodo with sharp, curved fangs poking out even when his mouth is closed. His tongue becomes long, forked, and constantly flickers in and out like a real Komodo's, sensing heat and movement.
His skin is now tough, armored with overlapping red-black scales, some edges glowing with embers as if smoldering. Steam vents and small flame-spewing cracks appear along his spine and arms. Lastly, a thick, prehensile tail emerges, covered in plated scales.
[IMAGE HERE]
"You… are dangerous, if I let you grow any more." As Hanafuda talks, his voice is growling, his tongue moving from side to side. Luffy knows he has no choice of beating him anymore, as Hanafuda is done playing around. Luffy cannot even stand now, so he has only one option. He summons another Rumble Ball, as Hanafuda notices it. He remembers how Luffy ate one before, and immediately slashes through—
*SLASH*
Ripping Luffy's arm straight from his body. Luffy could not even scream in pain as he opens his mouth, the Rumble Ball falls into it, making him choke. He swallows it, before Hanafuda slams his leg into Luffy's chest, breaking his ribs. Hanafuda raises his sickle, bringing it down towards Luffy—
*DOM DUT DA DA*
THE END
