D vs Magma Final
Towers of magma were scattered around all over the Holy city of Mariejois. The towers of magma were very tall taller than most giants actually. The action around Mariejois came to a halt at the sight of the pillars. Both the world government officials and marines stopped their fighting at the sight of the pillars. Likewise the Knights of D also stopped their invasion at the sight of the magma. Both sides of the invasion had different thoughts of the pillars of magma. The side of the world government had ones of surprise and fear. They were already loosing badly to the invaders to the point that it was completely hopeless. And now the situation appeared even worse with the mama pillars.
"What's that?" asked a marine.
"A – A magma pillar," replied another.
"What's it doing here?" another world government official.
"It's fleet admiral Akainu," a marine said.
"Of course, the fleet admiral has the power of the magma magma fruit. Only he is capable of something like this," said another marine.
"Despite the circumstances you guys should not lose focus on the enemy," said Hannibal before using his claws and jaws the bifurcate the curious and frightened marines.
Hannibal was currently in his human panther hybrid form walking towards a group of marines menacingly. His claws and jaws were covered in blood giving him the appearance of a bloodthristy monster.
"Damn what a monster," said a marine.
"It isn't fare. It's bad enough that we have to face this guy but now with Akainu using his power. Damn it, this just isn't fare," said another panicking marine.
"What have we done to deserve this?" asked a frightened world government official.
Hannibal's eyes then went towards the direction of one of the pillars of magma. Looking at the towering pillar of magma, he couldn't help but grin.
"It seems that Luffy's fight with Akainu is really heating up," Hannibal said with a grin.
He then turned his attention to the frightened and cowering group.
"I can't have a rookie Knight like him outdo me. Even if he's lord Dragon's son," said Hannibal whose grin never left him.
He then charged towards the frightened group of enemies ready to slaughter them all.
Elektra looked at another pillar of magma from a fare distance from where she was. She knew exactly what the source of the magma pillars was. In fact not too long ago she fought the source of the magma pillars. And despite holding her own, it was clear that she was going to lose had the battle continued. Akainu was a true monster amongst monsters. A powerful devil fruit combined with haki, insane durability and stamina made him a force to be reckoned with. Any member of the Knights of D would have great difficulty defeating him. Only lord Dragon and possibly Sabo could defeat him without too much trouble. Despite Akainu's great power, she felt shame for loosing. Not shame for loosing itself ,but she felt shame that she would have failed lord Dragon. She would have failed her benefactor and that was unacceptable. She also looked at the direction of a magma pillar with great concern for Luffy. She knew that Luffy had great hatred for Akainu and that he would fight him without holding back. But she also knew that as much as Luffy hated and wanted to kill Akainu, Akainu wanted to kill Luffy equally as much. And because of that Akainu was taking drastic actions to ensure Luffy's death.
"Good luck Luffy," said Elektra.
Another point of the battlefield stood Sabo who just recently successfully killed Kizaru. His cloak was in shreds but he was otherwise fine. His dragon scale protected from Kizaru's attack. However he looked at the direction of a large magma pillar calm and emotionless as always. However upon close inspection, his face did have some concern at the sight of the pillar of magma. That along with the sweat on his forehead, not from nervousness but from the heat of the magma.
"Luffy seemed to have really pushed Akainu to his limit for him to do something like this," said Sabo.
He then looked up at the pillar and examined it.
"I'm not sure if even Luffy is capable of handling this," said Sabo.
On a tall building overlooking the city stood Dragon who was watching the battlefield. His cloak was flowing with the wind as he surveyed the battlefield for a couple of moments before a smile graced his face.
"It seems that Luffy has forced Akainu into a corner. That's good. It means that Akainu is losing," said Dragon.
"Though it seems that Akainu has become desperate and is trying to destroy the Holy city in order to kill Luffy. That fool seems too caught up in his rage to realize he's doing our job for us," said Dragon.
"It would be interesting to see how you respond to this, Luffy," said Dragon as he continued examining the battlefield.
Back towards the battlefield, Luffy continued to stare at the towers of magma with horror and dread. Several towers of magma were visible on Mariejois and Luffy knew the reason. It was undoubtedly Akainu who was creating this. He knew that the fleet admiral was an extremist believer in absolute justice and was ruthless in upholding it. He saw first hand what Akainu could do during the war of the best and truly experienced his power during this battle. But even Luffy wasn't sure of what to make of this. The sheer size and numbers of the magma pillars was far greater than when Akainu used them previously. Back then he was trying to use them to kill Luffy. Now he seems to be just trying to destroy everything.
"That bastard, what is he trying to do?" said Luffy has he continued to stare at the pillar of magma that originated in the building he sent Akainu into.
Soon a head formed from the magma pillar in front of him.
"Son of Dragon, you have truly become strong. I knew that if left unchecked you would certainly become a dangerous foe in the future," said Akainu.
"But even I would never have predicted you would become this strong this fast. Despite your quick rise to infamy, taking down a Shichbukai, declaring war on the world government and defeating CP9, defeating another Shichbukai, successfully raiding Impel Down and your feats at the war of the best, even I didn't expect for you to be this strong. In all honesty I didn't expect you to have this kind of power for several years. But you do, you truly are the son of the revolutionary Dragon. A dangerous threat that has become extraordinarily powerful. If I let you live, you would become even stronger and a far more powerful enemy in the future. I cannot take that chance. I have to eliminate you now," said Akainu.
"Akainu what the hell are you doing? What's with all these magma pillars?"shouted Luffy.
"Like I said. You have become too strong for your own good. I have to destroy you or else absolute justice would fall," replied Akainu.
"Bastard, are you trying to destroy the city. Are you trying to kill your own men," shouted Luffy back to the now insane admiral.
"If it's to kill you son of Dragon, then yes, I would do so," replied Akainu.
"Bastard how could you do such a thing? There your own men." Shouted Luffy back.
"No sacrifice is too great for the sake of justice. They would be dieing to eliminate a great evil from this world. Their deaths are for a worthy cause," said Akainu.
"How the hell can you call this a worthy cause," shouted Luffy back.
"You're not one to talk son of Dragon. After all you were the ones who attacked first. You were the ones who came here and started killing marines and members of the world government. As far as I'm concerned, they would have died at the hands of the elite revolutionaries. At least this way I can take down the most dangerous of them and possibly the other revolutionaries," said Akainu.
"Those guys wouldn't die that easily. My dad all handpicked them for a reason. Because they are the strongest. This wouldn't be enough to get rid of them," said Luffy.
"That may be so but I would definitely kill you. I may not be able to take them out but I can certainly take you down. And I don't really care if all the others escape, nor how many marines die, as long as you die, then it's fine with me," said Akainu.
The magma pillars then all began moving towards Luffy. Each of them while coming towards him were destroying anything in their path whether it be buildings, monsters or even marines.
"The pillars are moving off in that direction but why?" asked one marine.
"Probably has something to do with Akainu. He's the only one who could do something like this," said another marine.
"But what could possibly make the fleet admiral do something like this? I mean it's true we're being invaded but those pillars are destroying the entire city," said another marine.
The magma pillars continued to advance and surround Luffy slowly but surely while creating destruction in its path. They were going to converge around Luffy killing him instantly. The intense heat of the magma would burn him instantly such that there would not even be a corpse for show. But Akainu wasn't really interesting in showing off at this moment. While before he would have been fine with showing off the corpse of Monkey D Luffy to reduce the moral of the revolutionaries and send a message to the pirates, he was no longer interested in that. Luffy proved to be too strong and too resilient and as such the only thing on his mind was the complete and utter destruction of the rubber man.
Luffy had a panicked look on his face as the magma towers continue to converge around now. While he may have escaped seemingly impossible situations and overcame the odds many times as a pirate, this seemed too much even for him. Before when he could not manage to overcome an obstacle, he had his nakama to help him. But now his nakama were not here. Likewise even when his nakama's strength was not enough, something happened at the last minute to save him such as Bartholomew Kuma back at Thriller Bark or Merry at Ennies Lobby. But even he could not see how to escape this.
"I can't die without avenging Ace," said Luffy.
Sweat was forming on Luffy's face both from fear and from the intense heat of the magma pillars. It all seemed hopeless right now. There was nothing that he could do against a technique of this magnitude.
And then all of a sudden several gigantic tornadoes struck each of the magma pillars as they were continuing to advance towards Luffy. The size of each tornado was about the same size as each pillar of magma.
"What the hell? What's going on?" said Akainu in surprise.
Luffy at first was shocked by the sudden arrival of the giant tornadoes but then grinned knowing what happened.
"It's my father. He's definitely responsible for this," said Luffy with a grin.
Akainu gritted his teeth in frustration at the sudden intervention of the tornadoes.
"Damn you Dragon," cursed Akainu.
The force of the tornadoes pushed down on the magma towers slowly negating them.
Elsewhere at another location several marines saw the magma pillars struck by the tornadoes.
"Where those tornadoes come from?" asked a random marine.
"They came out of nowhere," said another marine.
"It's just like when the invasion first started. Several tornadoes appeared just like that." said another random marine.
"Does that mean that whoever was responsible for the first set of tornadoes also are responsible for these as well?" asked another random marine.
"Well I don't know what's going on but those tornadoes saved our lives," said another marine.
The marines with him turned to look at the marine who just said that the tornadoes saved their lives.
"Those magma pillars would have killed us for sure had those tornadoes not appeared," said the same marine.
The marines all continued to look on in shock and amazement as the powerful tornadoes were stopping the magma pillars.
Elsewhere on another location was the second strongest swordsman in the world. Former student of the world's great swordsman, Melkon D Kanka, the Cancer of the Knights of D. He was surrounded by buildings that were cut down along with hacked up corpses of marines and world government officials. The remaining marines and world government officials were all scared out of their minds at how immensely powerful Kanka was. The only one who didn't seem scared was a vice admiral.
"It looks like Akainu's little fireworks show didn't work," said Kanka who despite facing his opponent had his eyes in the direction of the tornadoes eradicating the magma towers.
"That attack of his may have failed but fleet admiral Akainu would not. He would certainly finish him off after," said the vice admiral.
"Really because it looked like those magma pillars of his were stopped by lord Dragon," replied Kanka with a confident grin.
"So Dragon was responsible for those tornadoes stopping Akainu's magma pillars. I take it that he was the one who sent the first set of tornadoes that attacked the Holy City," replied vice admiral.
"Well you catch on quick. I'll admit that," replied Kanka whose grin never left him.
"It doesn't matter. You all will fall to the power of justice. Akainu would take down the revolutionary Dragon while I handle you," said vice admiral.
"You're a very funny man vice admiral. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard," replied Kanka whose grin turned evil.
"What do you mean by that revolutionary?" asked the vice admiral.
"What I mean is that statement you just made is so ridiculous. The fact that you believe that you could handle me by itself is funny. However the fact that you believe that the fleet admiral could handle lord Dragon is downright outrageous." replied Kanka.
"You don't seem to realize the power that lord Dragon possesses. His power goes beyond anything you've ever seen." Said Kanka.
"Don't underestimate fleet admiral Akainu. He's a absolute monster," retorted vice admiral.
"You still think Akainu would win. How naïve. However you don't seem to understand the situation that you're in. You're still focusing on Akainu when you should be focusing on me," said Kanka.
Then a grin appeared on Kanka's face.
"I'll just show you how feeble your pathetic attempts of justice are," said a grinning Kanka.
Elektra watched as Dragon's tornadoes continued neutralizing Akainu's magma pillars. Her face was stone cold however relief washed over her. Despite having all the faith in the world in her leader Dragon and his son Luffy, she couldn't help but feel some fear when Akainu seemed to want to destroy Mariejois to kill Luffy. This fear mostly originated from her brief battle with Akainu which forced her on the defensive. And even she doubted Luffy could overcome Akainu's rage. However Dragon interfered and saved his son and possibly the other Knights too. For that she was relieved even though she didn't show it.
"Lord Dragon has saved you Luffy. Now you must finish him off," said Elektra.
At another part of Mariejois was Sabo. He was watching the tornadoes slowly diminish. His face was emotionless as usual not giving away any of his thoughts. It was impossible to tell what he felt or what was going on in his mind. Whether it be relief, amazement, no one knew. He masked his emotions well or simply didn't have any at this point in time.
On a tall building overlooking the city, Dragon hadn't moved from his spot. His hands were in the air. His ever present grin having never left him. Despite the sheer size, power and number of tornadoes, Dragon didn't seem to be exerting any effort at all. He was maintaining the tornadoes as if they were child's play to him. There was no sweating, no panting, nothing. In fact he didn't appear to be doing anything at all. If it hadn't been for his hands being in the air or from the knowledge that only he could do something like this by means of his devil fruit, then you'd never know that he was the one.
"I think you wouldn't mind if I intervened this once Luffy," said Dragon.
Akainu watched in shock as his magma pillars continued to disappear thanks to the tornadoes. Each of his magma pillars was being pushed down by a large tornado into the ground. Soon after some time, each of his magma pillars were gone and all that was left were the tornadoes.
"You're attack didn't work Akainu. It failed to kill me," said Luffy.
"That's because of your blasted father. If it wasn't for him, then you'd definitely have been burnt alive and the world would be free of you," rebutted Akainu.
"It doesn't matter, I'm still here and that's all that matters," said Luffy.
Luffy then went into his standard gear second pose and activated his powerful technique.
"Gear second," Luffy said.
"I would have preferred to kill you by myself instead of having someone interfere in my fight. However since you were going to destroy everything I guess my father had no choice since you might have killed some of the knights," said Luffy.
Then he narrowed his eyes at the fleet admiral.
"But now I'm going to finish you off once and for all," said Luffy his eyes narrowed at Akainu.
Luffy disappeared and reappeared infront of Akainu and delivered a vicious kick to Akainu's face sending him to the ground. Luffy disappeared and reappeared in the air above Akainu with his foot stretched high up and at speed impossible to see with the naked eye brought down his outstretched foot hard to the admiral with a powerful gomu gomu no jet battle axe. Blowing air into his arm, it inflated and then blackened from armament hardening. He then drove the enlarge haki enhanced fist towards Akainu who was able to roll out of the way at the last second but was sent back a fair distance from the shockwave.
Akainu turned his hand into a large magma arm and was about to attack Luffy with his Dai Funka. Luffy instead of dodging decided to challenge the attack with his own. The two attacks collide creating a large shockwave and caused traces of magma to fall to the ground. Despite the pain from the attack Luffy was not ready to give up. Screaming in determination he pushed his enlarged haki enhanced arm forward deeper and deeper into Akainu's Dai Funka.
"Impossible. Where does this brat get his strength from?" said a surprised Akainu.
In response he turned his other hand into a magma claw and thrusted towards Luffy who was getting closer to the fleet admiral. Luffy seeing this moved his body out of the power and sent a lightening fast gomu gomu no jet pistol to Akainu who was sent flying back from the quick attack but quickly landed on his feet only to see that Luffy' other hand was equally as large as the first and black as well from haki. Luffy dashed towards the admiral who didn't have time to react and delivered the extremely powerful gomu gomu no giant jet bazooka to Akainu. Akainu took a direct hit and was sent into several buildings. After the attack Luffy arms shrunk back to size and he deactivated the gear second in order to take a brief rest.
The rest was cut short when he heard rumbling from underground and magma exploded infront of him. The magma morphed into Akainu who then sent an inugami guren at Luffy.
"Inugami Guren," said Akainu as the dog head thrust towards Luffy.
Luffy who was no longer in gear second and exhausted from all the fighting barely had time to dodge. He narrowly dodged however Akainu's attack grazed his arm. He screamed in pain only to see a second Inugami Guren coming towards him. Seeing no other alternative Luffy positioned his arms and legs to shield his body and completely vulcanized his body with arnament hardening. Luffy was completely black from head to toe shielded by the haki. Akainu's inugami guren hit Luffy dead on and completely engulfed him. Luffy fell from the air with massive burns and scorch marks. It appeared as if Akainu's attack was even able to burn away Luffy's armament haki.
Luffy was on the ground with his body covered in huge burns and covered in blood. He was breathing hard and panting heavily as a struggled to his feat. He placed his hand on the ground to try and push himself off the ground. When he was finally off the ground and fell back to the ground face first.
"Look at you son of Dragon. You're covered head to toe in burns. I told you that you wouldn't be able to defeat me," taunted Akainu.
"S – Sh – Shut up," retorted Luffy.
"You see son of Dragon. This is the power of justice. The power that a criminal like you could never overcome," said Akainu.
"I must commend you on your strength. You have certainly become immensely powerful. No one except for Whitebeard was ever able to injure me as much as you have. I truly applaud you," commended Akainu.
"But it's time that you leave this world. Prepare to join your scum of a brother Fire Fist Ace in hell," said Akainu whose arm was turned to magma.
Upon hearing Ace's name Luffy was instantly filled with memories. He flashbacked to all the times he spent with his brother. From growing up on Dawn Island causing trouble and mischief, training together in the forests, meeting him again in Alabasta Kingdom, fighting alongside him during the war of the best and finally his tragic death at the hands of Akainu. The hands of the same man who was hovering above him ready to kill him just like his brother.
"Ace," said Luffy struggling to his feet.
"Ace," Luffy said again as he continued struggling and finally got to his feet.
"Ace," said Luffy who finally after getting to his feet initiated his gear second posture.
"You still aren't going to give up son of Dragon. Very well, I shall reunite you with your brother," said Akainu.
"Ace," said Luffy who activated his gear second.
He then looked at Akainu, rage and determination in his eyes.
"I will avenge you," shouted Luffy.
Luffy then dashed towards Akainu who reacted by turning his arm to magma.
"Dai Funka," said Akainu as he thrust the giant magma arm towards Luffy.
Luffy however reacted in a way that even Akainu could have never predicted. Luffy fully vulcanized his entire body with haki and ran straight into the magma fist.
"What is he doing? Is he trying to get himself killed," said Akainu.
However Akainu found out the answer as Luffy jumped out of the magma arm and then sent a large barrage of punches that were so fast that they appeared invisible. Luffy's gomu gomu no jet gatling continued to hit Akainu with punch after punch that seemed both invisible and as if there was many arms. The powerful attack continued hitting Akainu making him cough up blood. Eventually Luffy decided to finish the attack with a gomu gomu no twin jet pistol that sent Akainu flying into a building.
Luffy then charged after Akainu with his arm stretched back and vulcanized eventually it caught flames. Akainu got up from the rubble to see Luffy's arm stretched back and releasing fire.
"You fool. Even your brother who wielded the power of the flame flame fruit was unable to hurt me. There is no way that your attack would do any better than his," said Akainu whose arm changed to magma.
He then shot his magma arm out which changed to a dog's head.
"Inugami Guren," shouted Akainu.
"I will defeat you," shouted Luffy who cocked his hand back which was ablaze with fire.
Flashback
Luffy was holding the body of his brother in his arms. Ace had a huge hole in his chest from Akainu's attack. Ace was dying in his arms and he could do nothing about it. Despite all that Luffy went through so far, breaking into Impel Down, entering a war that was too big even for him, his beloved brother was dieing. Even Ivankov's hormones couldn't save him. Ace apologized for dieing despite all the trouble Luffy went through to save him. Then he went on to confess that he was not the strong person he made himself out to be and that he was insecure about himself and his place in the world due to being the son of the worst criminal at the time, the Pirate King Gol D it good that he was born? He who carried the blood of a demon. The answer to that was all he wanted. Then he expressed his biggest regret, that he wouldn't see his little brother achieve his dream and become the king of the pirates. Then in tears he expressed gratitude to everyone, his father Whitebeard, his nakama the Whitebeard Pirates and their allies and most of all to his little brother Luffy himself. In tears he thanked them all from the bottom of his heart. Then his vivre card burnt out completely and Ace finally died. Fire Fist Ace, second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, son of the pirate king Gol D Roger, and sworn brother of Monkey D Luffy was dead. He died with a smile.
Flashback end.
"Gomu gomu no red hawk," shouted Luffy as he shot out the ignited attack towards Akainu's inguami guren.
The two final attacks hit dead on. But to Akainu's surprise the fire of Luffy's attack was allowing him to overcome the power of Akainu's magma.
"Impossible, his attack is overcoming mine," said Akainu in surprise.
Akainu then squinted his eyes and saw something that surprised him even more than Luffy's attack.
"T-That's" said Akainu his eyes wide with surprise.
Akainu saw what appeared to be Ace with his hands enflamed about to hit Akainu.
The attack successfully overcame Akainu's attack and hit Akainu dead in the torso exploding on contact. The attack was so strong that Luffy literally blew a hole in Akainu's body. Just as how Akainu killed Ace with an attack that blew a hole in Ace's stomach, so do did Luffy kill Akainu by blowing a hole in Akainu's stomach. Blood was gushing out of the wound as Luffy removed his hand from Akainu's body. Akainu then fell limp on the ground.
It was done. Luffy had done it. He had killed fleet admiral Akainu. He killed the man who murdered his brother. He finally avenged Ace.
Finally with fatigue and exhaustion, Luffy fell to the ground on his back. Despite this he was smiling and laughing out of sheer joy for having finally killed his brother's murderer.
"Ace, I did. I finally did it. I killed him," said Luffy looking at the sky hoping that in heaven is brother heard him and now can finally rest in peace.
So Luffy has finally done it. He has killed Akainu.
Hannibal of the Knights makes a slight appearance.
Amongst the Knights Elektra seems to show the most concern for Luffy. This is because Luffy is the son of her benefactor Dragon and because she herself fought Akainu and knows first hand how strong he is. She is not in love with Luffy so she will definitely not be in Luffy's harem.
The situation was too much for Luffy to escape and Dragon decided he had to intervene. Luffy is not usually one to allow someone to interfere with is fight but because of how hopeless his situation was, he accepted. As for Dragon, even he recognized the danger of Akainu's attack not only to Luffy but the rest of the Knights and decided that he had to act. The Knights themselves didn't react to the magma pillars because they knew Dragon could stop them and confident that they could handle it.
The way Luffy killed Akainu is similar to how Akainu killed Ace. Akainu killed Ace with a magma fist that made a hole in Ace's stomach. Likewise Luffy killed Akainu with a fire fist to Akainu's stomach blowing a hole in it. The fact that it was a flaming fist made it even more poetic.
The second strongest swordsman in the world, Kanka makes a slight appearance.
