The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

The strong men of the old era should not be underestimated. The performance of Garp blasting out the fist bone meteor was broadcast live by Yamato.

The airship Yamato was riding on was almost hit by the rising fist meteor, but fortunately she dodged in time and no tragedy happened in the air.

"Luffy turned into a ball"?

Nika was beaten up by the navy heroes like a piece of dough on a chopping board, with no ability to resist at all. Their domineering strength was not on the same level.

The smoke from Marinford had not yet dissipated, and countless gazes were fixed on the sky. The figure that had been beaten into a strange white ball continued to float in the air.

The white ball slowly floated upwards, like a dandelion seed caught in a strong wind, but with a heavy rhythm that shook the heavens and the earth.

It passed through the broken clouds and gradually overlapped with the midday sun. Its outline became blurred in the strong light, as if it turned into a wisp of white flame exhaled by the sun.

The next second, the light between heaven and earth suddenly distorted. It was no longer sunshine, but part of the light was madly swallowed by the white ball.

The golden beam of light seemed to be pulled by an invisible vortex, forming a dazzling light band around it, and the air made a sizzling sound due to the gathering of energy.

Lines like flowing lava began to emerge inside the white ball, which were the paths of sunlight rushing, compressing, and transforming.

“Hehe…hahahaha!”

Luffy's laughter suddenly exploded in the sky. It was no longer the clear voice of a young boy, but a low resonance mixed with ancient thunder, penetrating the clouds and causing tiny ripples on the sea around Marinford.

There was no trace of fatigue in that laughter, only the ecstasy of breaking free from shackles and the passion of about to break out of the cocoon.

At the same time, dong dong, dong dong dong...

The sound of drums and laughter coming from nowhere were intertwined, like the heartbeat deep in the earth, or like the war drums beaten by awakened warriors.

With every drumbeat, the white ball in the sky would tremble slightly, absorbing more intense sunlight, and even the sun's halo seemed to be eaten away by an ever-expanding gap.

"He is absorbing the energy of the sun, how is this possible..." Borsalino recalled the battle with Kaido. The speed at which the King of Beasts absorbed sunlight was far from Nika's current level.

"How was Nika defeated?"

Garp propped himself up, his hair and forehead covered in sweat. Overdrawing physical strength and domineering power always comes at a price, and he is now a little weak.

As the victor eight hundred years ago, how did Im defeat Joyboy, who had abilities imposed on him such as time travel, sunlight absorption, and invincibility?

Rocks, Kaido, and Whitebeard once fought against the possessed Im head-on, but the result was not optimistic.

The white ball that was originally flattened by the navy hero began to expand inside, and Luffy's limbs and facial features reappeared. He lay alone in the clouds, thinking about problems with his happy brain.

How to defeat Grandpa? The strength of Haki is too high, so most of Nika's fruit abilities fail on Garp.

Luffy needs to be more cautious. If he enlarges his fist and destroys Marineford with one punch, Ace's life may be in danger.

"Can anyone give me a good idea? My brain seems to be not enough," Luffy grinned and rolled wildly in the clouds.

In the past, Luffy relied on recklessness to solve problems and rarely used his brain. As long as he could win, everything was not a problem. If he couldn't win, it would be a big problem.

Luffy thought of his first teacher, the bald-headed Mr. Buten who liked to carry a turtle shell. As a martial artist, he possessed extremely powerful strength.

Pirates are the mainstream of this world, and strong people from other professions cannot get the same exposure as pirates. When Luffy mentioned Mr. Muten's name, outsiders had never heard of it.

"Try the spirit of martial arts"?

Since he can't compete in terms of Haki numerical value, Luffy wants to compete with his grandfather in the quality of Haki. If the quality can prevail over the quantity, maybe he can win!

Nika Luffy imitated Master Muten and sat cross-legged on a white cloud. The cloud seemed to be alive, holding him up and floating slowly in the air a thousand meters above the ground.

The sunlight shone from behind him, giving his white body a golden edge. From a distance, he looked like a statue hanging in the sky.

"What is he doing?" a navy soldier asked in a trembling voice from the ruins below, his gun unconsciously dropping.

No one could answer. Everyone on the battlefield focused their attention on the small white figure in the sky. Even the pirates and navy who were fighting each other couldn't help but slow down their offensive.

Nika Luffy closed his eyes, his expression was more peaceful than ever before, his chest rose and fell slowly to some ancient rhythm, that rhythm was different from the wild "Nika drum beat" before, it was a deeper and more restrained rhythm.

"Hasn't your injury recovered?" Admiral Kizaru narrowed his eyes slightly, with confusion and vigilance in his tone.

Luffy, high in the sky, was completely unaware of the commotion below. He was concentrating on the flow of a certain energy in his body. That was the martial arts spirit, a power hidden in everyone's body, but only a very few people could perceive and guide.

Under the sun's rays, this energy began to awaken and strengthen. At first, it was just a weak flow, flowing through the meridians like a stream.

But with Luffy's conscious guidance, it began to gather and grow, from a stream into a river, and from a river into an ocean.

"Hmm..." Luffy in the Nika form didn't even know the upper limit of his energy carrying capacity. He frowned slightly, and the surging energy in his body began to exceed his usual control.

The change first appeared in his hair. The hair that looked like white flames was no longer satisfied with just flying upwards.

Instead, it stretches and expands upward in a way that defies gravity, and every strand of hair is filled with surging energy.

"Look at his hair," the pirate's cry attracted the attention of many people. Luffy's abnormal behavior made those who cared about him very worried.

"I always have a bad feeling," Borsalino pushed off the sunglasses on his nose, and his pupils were just like Nika in the clouds.

"Should we interrupt him now? I'm afraid it will be too late if we don't take action..." Admiral Kizaru asked Garp for his opinion. As a qualified non-stick pan, he needed to seek consent.

Garp couldn't understand the aura that Luffy exuded from both inside and outside. It didn't belong to any kind of Haki. It was purer than the rough Haki. His experienced eyes could tell that it was of higher quality than Armament Haki.

"It's too late..."

Zhan Guo couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Garp's grandson was really lucky and was able to become a disciple of a good teacher.

As Luffy's energy grew, his strength also continued to increase, and the strong men saw it with amazement.

It turns out that Nika is not all about the Straw Hat Boy
