Joy Boy
-... Momonosuke.-
-Huh!?-
-I can hear it...!! It really takes me back...-
-What do you mean, Zunesha!?-
-I can hear the drum of liberation...-
Dum dum dum dum
-This is the first time in 800 years!! He is there, without a doubt...-
-Who is!?-
-...!! Joy Boy!! He has returned!!-
-Hey Momonosuke!! What is happening? Who are you talking to!?- Ace asks poking her head trying to see something.
++++++++
The moment Luffy transformed into Joy Boy, everyone could feel it. That immense power and that immense Haki... It was Luffy without hesitation. He even surprised Zeref, who was still sitting at the entrance to Onigashima.
-Is that... Luffy?- Zeref muttered, looking up at the ceiling.
++++++++
-This may be better than the alternative. It's imperative... That we snuff out something this problematic.-
-No matter the era, the World Government has always failed... To acquire the Gomu Gomu no mi... Even after 800 years of trying!!-
-It's almost as if the fruit itself is evading us.-
-Well, that's not impossible. All Zoan Akuma no Mi have a will of their own... And this one carries the name of a "God". After all, the Gomu Gomu no Mi... Is really a Mythical Zoan... It's the Hito Hito no mi, model: "Nika"!! It's user's body gains the properties of rubber. In combat, they're supposedly only limited by their imagination. Putting smiles on faces... Far and wide, they are the emboddiment of "The Warrior of Liberation", "Sun God" Nika! Awakening exponentially strengthens their rubbery body and they have even more freedom. It is allegedly... The most ridiculous power in the world...!!-
++++++++
-Since you're able to make your surroundings rubbery...- Kaido gasped hard.- ... It should be safe to say you awakened your Paramecia fruit, but something about this feels off... A TRANSFORMATION LIKE THIS IS MORE TYPICAL OF A ZOAN FRUIT!!-
-Hm?-
Kaido forcefully swallowed Luffy, but Luffy began to hit the inside of Kaido and then swelled his body as much as he could.
-UEGH!! YOU LITTLE...!!- Kaido turned his face and looked at the place where Luffy was inside his stomach.- Danm it!! How are you doing this!? Your body is meant to be rubbery, not mine!!-
-Hehe!! I see a pair of bright lights!!- Luffy throws up his hands and manages to get his hands out of Kaido's pupils, giving him quite a scare.- Gomu Gomu no...-
-AAARGH!!-
-ESCAPE ROCKET!!- Luffy grabs Kaido's nose and manages to push himself out of Kaido.- NAHAHAHAHA!!-
-UEGH!!-
-SHISHISHI!!- Luffy inhales a huge breath of air and flies away.
-......!?-
-Gomu Gomu no... Gigant!!- Luffy reappeared in an extremely large form.
-............!!?-
Katakuri, watching the fight, could only be surprised. It's not every day you get to see Kaido, an extremely strong Yonko, turn into a jump rope. This fight reaches a level of madness that she never imagined she would see in her lifetime.
She wish she had popcorns.
++++++++
-I see they're making a lot of noise up there.- Law muttered, helping Marco and Chopper heal the wounded despite not having much stamina left after fighting Big Mom with Kid, Killer and Kira.
-How are things going with the rest?-
-Everyone's okay. Now Nami-ya is unstoppable thanks to Zeus.-
-Fufufu... Glad to hear about it.- Robin leaves the area and looks for water to give it to the three doctors who are working so hard.
++++++++
-I'm not good with heat...-
-You're being a real pain, Bepo!! Yeowch, it's hot!!- Penguin gasps heavily as he carries Bepo on his back.
Kira appeared right in front of them. She didn't hesitate for a second and came over to help them.
-Hey!! Resist!- Kira takes them and puts them on her shoulders.- I'll get you out of here!-
-Thanks for showing up, Lami's girlfriend! You saved us!-
-Fufufu... With that I already like you.- Kira smiled pleased with how Penguin called her.
++++++++
-Maybe I can... But I think you should be the one to do it.- Zeref said with an extremely calm voice.
-Huh?-
-Momonosuke-san... Who are you? Kozuki Oden's son? The boy that Luffy saved? Someone weak who always has to depend on others?- Zeref asked, looking into his eyes.- Tell me... Who are you? What will you do for your country?
-I... I...-
-Do you really want us to take care of saving Wano? What is Oden would have wanted you to do for Wano? For the country that you must rule as its legitimate shogun?-
-......-
-Find an answer. We do not have much time, Kozuki Momonosuke.-
++++++++
After Luffy defeats Kaido, he started to fall from a considerable height. Katakuri scrambled to her feet and ran towards him as fast as her aching body would allow.
-LUFFY!!- She launched herself at him and broke his fall with her body.- Uff... Uff... Kuh... Luffy... I got you...- Katakuri murmured caressing Luffy's face.- Haha... You did it... You defeated him.-
He is amazing. Luffy is amazing.
-You've done very well, Luffy...- Katakuri muttered, resting her cheek on Luffy's head.- You've done very well.-
++++++++
They all looked up at the ceiling with hope in their eyes and held their breath when they heard footsteps approaching the large hole. Then Katakuri suddenly appeared with Luffy in her arms and announced victory, everyone cheered.
-Luffy... He defeated Kaido!- Katakuri announces.- We've won!!-
-YEAAAH!!-
-I never expected us to survive!!-
-Straw Hat! Straw Hat! Straw Hat!-
++++++++
-Zunesha? Can you hear me? I have given it a lot of thought...-
-......-
-And I have decided... Not to open our borders just yet.-
-Very well... I shall follow your lead. I trust your judgement!!-
-Thank you, I'm sorry... Hm? What was that? An earthquake!?-
++++++++
-AAAAH!!!-
-AN EXPLOSION!?-
-That came from near Udon!-
-No way...-
-Was it Onigashima!?-
-Are Kaido and his minions up to something!?-
-Worry not!! Everything is under control!!-
-......!!?-
-K-Kaido-sama... What's he doing here!? This is our one day to be free!-
-Do not bealarmed, I am not Kaido!! In fact, that eruption was the final send off... For the supreme commander of the Beast Pirates!!-
-What!?-
-......!?-
Suddenly the great dragon disappeared in a smoke screen. Some figures appeared in the smoke, among them is Hiyori.
-WHAAAT!? KOMURASAKI-SAMA!?-
-That beauty can't be faked!-
-Wait, boss Kyoshiro!? Where's your patented pompadour?-
-Well... This is going to be a long story...- Denjiro smiled.- First, allow me to present the new shogun of Wano!!-
-......!?-
