Chapter 128 128: Sun God Nika!
Suddenly, four words flashed through Luffy's mind.
Fruit Awakening.
Luffy jolted in surprise.
He glanced at his system panel.
[Devil Fruit Ability: 84.9]
Normally, Awakening should only occur after reaching 90.
Even with cheats, it shouldn't be this ridiculous.
But right now…
This was the only possible path.
Luffy slowly closed his eyes.
His Observation Haki turned inward, ignoring everything outside.
In an instant, it flowed through every limb and organ of his body, searching for the secrets hidden within.
At the same time—
The panel appeared.

Elsewhere on the Battlefield
Aokiji walked calmly across the battlefield.
Within a thousand meters, everything had turned into a blinding frozen wasteland.
Ace's flames simply could not break through the ice's restraint.
Sabo's right hand formed a claw as he lunged forward like a blur.
The sheer force tore through the air.
Dragon Claw Fist!
Aokiji clenched his right fist.
The power of ice condensed around it, forming a sphere of frost.
Ice Iron Fist!
BOOM!!
The Armament Haki-coated Dragon Claw, crackling with black lightning, slammed against the frozen fist.
A violent shockwave erupted.
"Not bad. You've improved quite a bit."
Aokiji commented casually.
"Though you're still far from Dragon."
Crack… crack…
Tiny fractures appeared on Aokiji's ice gauntlet.
But he didn't care.
A blue mist of frost spread instantly, freezing Sabo's arm at visible speed.
But Sabo clenched his fist—
His Armament Haki lightning shattered the ice instantly.
He smiled politely.
"I'm not falling into the same trap twice."
"Nice."
Aokiji praised him without hesitation.
Then—
BAM!
Aokiji's kick smashed directly into Sabo's face, sending him flying over a hundred meters.
"Fire Fist!"
A roaring wave of orange flames rushed toward Aokiji.
Without changing expression, Aokiji raised a massive ice wall to block it.
At that moment—
Diamond Jozu charged forward like a war tank and smashed into Aokiji.
Aokiji formed blades of ice, striking Jozu again and again with bone-chilling cold.
Suddenly—
A flash of red light flickered in Aokiji's sunglasses.
He turned and slashed Vista away with one swing.
Then his gaze shifted toward deep within Marineford.
He murmured quietly:
"Monkey-boy… are you finally reaching your limit?"
With Aokiji momentarily pausing, Ace and the others spread their Observation Haki.
They saw—
A monstrous Gyuki running forward on enormous spider legs.
Within moments, it entered their sight.
"Well, well… Saint Saturn himself."
Aokiji kept his hands in his pockets, speaking casually.
Clearly, he didn't treat the Five Elders with much respect.
"You people move too slowly."
"I'll lend you a hand."
The Gyuki, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, looked arrogantly at them.
A sinister smile spread across his face.
Strange red light flickered in his eyes.
Evil Eye.
Instantly—
A deadly sense of danger engulfed Ace, Sabo, and Jozu.
It felt as though invisible hands had seized their throats.
Breathing itself became nearly impossible.
"Quick—Armament Haki!!"
Ace shouted.
The three immediately coated their bodies in Haki.
The suffocation vanished.
But—
BOOM!!
Their heads were suddenly struck by invisible force.
A violent explosion echoed as black smoke rose.
At the same time—
The hairy abdomen of the Gyuki bulged grotesquely.
More than a dozen dark purple venom spheres were launched toward them!
If even one struck—
Even awakened Zoan users would lose their combat ability instantly.
But—
"Fire Fist!!"
A massive wave of blazing flames blasted forward.
The venom spheres were engulfed instantly.
The flames continued forward toward Saturn.
Ace and the others emerged from the smoke, blood dripping from their foreheads.
Saturn's Evil Eye was incredibly troublesome on first encounter.
"You're one of the Five Elders, aren't you?!"
Ace stared at the demonic figure within the flames.
"What happened to Luffy?!"
"You call that insect your brother?"
Saturn stepped out of the fire.
His spider legs, previously burned black, regenerated instantly.
"Isn't my presence here enough of an answer?"
Ace's pupils shrank.
Rage surged across his face as orange flames erupted from his body.
"You pieces of trash think you can kill my little brother?!"
Divine Fire: Shiranui!
Several blazing spears formed in the air and shot toward Saturn.
But Saturn didn't care.
His gigantic body continued approaching step by step.
The pressure alone was terrifying.
Three massive spider legs stabbed forward like indestructible spears.
SHLK!
SHLK!
SHLK!
Blood sprayed everywhere.
The spider legs pierced through the abdomens of Ace, Sabo, and Jozu, lifting them into the air.
Saturn's grotesque face leaned close.
Red light burned in his eyes.
Evil Eye.
BOOM!!
All three instantly lost the will to resist.
"If you were at full strength, perhaps I would show some caution."
"But with only ten or twenty percent of your power left…"
"You are far too weak!!"
The red glow in Saturn's eyes intensified.
One second.
Two seconds.
Then—
"Die!!!"
Saturn unleashed the full power of the Gyuki.
"…Is it over?"
Aokiji sighed softly.
But suddenly—
His eyes widened in shock.
ZZZZT—!!
Silver lightning tore across the sky.
In an instant, it wrapped around Saturn like a cage.
"ARGH!! What… what is this?!"
Saturn clutched his head.
Black-purple demonic energy erupted from his body.
But the silver lightning suppressed it completely—
As if it were its natural enemy.
Moments later—
The Gyuki form vanished.
In its place stood a confused old man.
His Mythical Zoan transformation had been forcibly canceled.
Slowly—
His gaze turned toward the depths of Marineford.
The Awakening
RUMBLE—!!
Countless silver lightning bolts burst from deep within Marineford.
Silver-white lightning flickered across the sky.
The sea erupted with towering waves.
High above—
Clouds rapidly gathered into a massive silver vortex that blotted out the sky.
Everyone watching felt chills run down their spines.
Whitebeard vs Sengoku
Whitebeard and Sengoku both stepped back.
"Gurarararara!"
Whitebeard laughed loudly.
"It seems… I've just witnessed the birth of a legend of the new era."
Every era had its legends.
Rocks.
Garp.
Roger.
Golden Lion Shiki.
And now—
A new legend had appeared.
Which meant his era… had ended.
Sengoku's heart shook violently.
"This level of Conqueror's Haki…"
"…it might even surpass Garp's!"
"Not just that."
Whitebeard glanced at him.
"This Haki rivals Rocks himself."
"It might even surpass him."
"ROCKS?!"
Sengoku was stunned.
That was the man once called the King of the World!
Far Out at Sea
More than a hundred kilometers away.
A warship sailed slowly toward Marineford.
"Zehahahaha!"
Blackbeard stood at the bow.
"Men! We're heading to Marineford!"
"We'll take Whitebeard's head… and then claim the throne of the Four Emperors!!"
His newly recruited Impel Down escapees cheered.
But Burgess looked worried.
"Captain… can we really pull this off?"
After witnessing Luffy's power earlier—
He understood something clearly.
Emperors were monsters.
Completely different species.
Van Augur calmly cleaned his rifle.
"Have faith in fate's choice."
Shiryu of the Rain sat on the deck smoking.
"At least we're not rotting in Impel Down anymore."
Then—
RUMBLE!!
Dozens of weaker pirates suddenly collapsed.
"What's happening?!"
"Fish! Thousands of fish are floating to the surface!!"
Panic erupted on the ship.
Blackbeard stared into the distance.
His eyes widened.
Cold sweat dripped down his face.
"…Conqueror's Haki."
"WHAT?!"
Shiryu dropped his cigar.
He had never seen Haki spread across hundreds of kilometers.
"TURN THE SHIP AROUND!!"
Blackbeard roared.
"Marineford… is no place for us!!"
Marineford — The Birth of a God
The Five Elders stared in horror.
Before them stood Luffy—
Eyes closed.
Silver Conqueror's Haki lightning crackling around him.
They tried to move.
But Luffy's Haki pressed them firmly into place.
Then—
His heartbeat echoed.
THUMP.
THUMP.
THUMP.
The rhythm spread outward from Marineford.
A strange frequency echoed across the world.
Silver lightning wrapped around Luffy's body.
His black hair turned pure white, flickering like flames.
His red clothing transformed into white.
White cloud-like flames floated behind him like ribbons.
The ground beneath his feet became soft and elastic.
At the same time—
The entire sky turned pitch black.
People looked up.
At the exact moment the full moon appeared—
Luffy's eyes opened.
Golden light flashed within them.
Silver lightning exploded outward across hundreds of meters.
The raging storm blasted the Four Elders away.
Luffy looked at his hands in wonder.
"This feeling…"
"It's incredible."
"It feels like I can do anything."
"So this is… Nika?"
Across the World
Deep beneath the sea—
Ancient Sea Kings opened their eyes.
In the New World—
The wandering Zunesha lifted its head.
"Joy Boy…"
"…have you returned?"
Mary Geoise — Pangaea Castle
Deep within the Chamber of Flowers.
A figure standing among blooming plants suddenly opened its eyes.
"Joy Boy…?"
Its gaze seemed to pierce across space itself—
Fixing on the young boy.
Then the eyes slowly closed again.
A supreme voice echoed inside the minds of the Five Elders.
"Extinguish that light."
Marineford
The Five Elders regrouped.
They stared toward the center of the island—
Where a massive storm of lightning now covered half of Marineford.
On their faces—
There was bitterness.
And deep, hidden fear.
Because—
The Sun God Nika… had appeared in the world.
