"Just like that poor long-nosed guy back there! Abandon your useless crew, Straw Hat!"
Luffy shouted back, "What are you talking about?!"
"You wouldn't be able to throw a proper party otherwise!"
"You idiot!"
Bathed in pulsing purple energy, Festa slowly merged with his ship. "You're the hopeless fool here! Your so-called 'nakama' spirit is nothing but weakness! Even that muscle-bound old Whitebeard lost his life because of his crew! Roger was no different! Those who die are always the losers!
All those who yap about friendship will eventually hit their limit! The power I've honed is for winning on my own!"
Luffy roared, "I'm not losing to your pathetic strength!"
Festa sneered. "Want to argue? Then try taking this back!"
In his hands gleamed the treasure of the Pirate King.
"Since you're all about to die, I'll tell you!" he said. "This… is Roger's true treasure! This chest contains… the One Piece!"
Luffy's eyes went wide. "One Piece?!"
In an instant, Festa completed his fusion, transforming into a colossal mechanical giant.
"It's almost over! Struggle all you want!"
At sea, Zoro clashed with Admiral Fujitora in a battle of skill and sheer willpower.
"Gravity Slash: Fierce Tiger!" Fujitora shouted, sending a wave of violet energy blasting Zoro backward. A massive boulder, cobbled together from countless smaller stones, hurtled at him.
Zoro's sword ignited with Haki. "1080: Painful Phoenix!"
The blade of energy sliced the boulder into pieces, then surged forward at Fujitora. He swung his blade furiously, splitting the energy in two.
"Extreme Tiger Hunt!" Zoro roared. He and his sword transformed into a ferocious tiger, barreling at Fujitora with a deafening roar.
BOOM! Terrifying shockwaves exploded outward. When the sea calmed, Zoro and Fujitora faced each other, perfectly matched.
Pirates fleeing the chaos laughed maniacally. "While the Navy's distracted, let's get out of here fast!"
Suddenly, a colossal blade of energy sliced through the sky, cleaving a pirate ship in half.
Zoro's eyes widened. "Could it be…"
Sure enough, the world's greatest swordsman, Dracule Mihawk, floated above in his tiny boat.
The Navy groaned. "The Shichibukai are such a pain…"
Cannon fire rang out, and a commanding female voice called from a ship.
"Who dares block my path and mess with my ship?!"
Everyone around blushed instantly.
"That's… the Shichibukai… Pirate Empress!""Boa… Hancock?!"
The Pirate Empress sauntered forward, her perfect figure swaying with every step.
"Whatever I do, the world forgives me," she declared. "Because… I'm just too beautiful."
Both Navy and pirates alike were blinded by hearts in their eyes.
The Navy commander shouted, "With the Empress on our side, we've got this! Attack, Shichibukai!"
The Empress roared, "Shut up! Where's Luffy?!"
Meanwhile, the clownish Buggy had already taken off in the distance. "What a joke… I'm not playing along!"
Commentary across worlds:
One Piece world, Straw Hat Luffy fans: "It's been ages since Zoro wore that bandana! Go, Zoro, take down the admiral!"
Naruto world, Naruto: "Isn't that Buggy just comic relief?"
Buggy: "You punks don't even know the power of Buggy the Clown! Don't forget, I was crew under the former Pirate King!"
Shanks: "Hey, Buggy… maybe add 'intern' in there too."
Big Mom: "Why is Zeus following that little girl…?"
Aokiji: "That blind guy's an admiral too? Looks like the future's about to get crazy."
Frieza, Dragon Ball: "Can we get someone who can actually fight? I need to stretch!"
Master Roshi: "The Pirate Empress' figure is… impressive. Though I don't know about Boa…
...
On screen, Festa swung his massive arms at everyone.
"It's over!"
A few jumped to dodge, but Festa's sweep sent them flying, three or four crashing into the distance.
He bellowed, "Feel the full weight of this!"
Luffy staggered back. "Are you guys okay?!"
Festa's enormous fist was wrapped in Haki.
"Only a lone person can reach this level," he growled. "Only the weak lose everything."
Luffy activated Gear Second, striking the massive fist.
BOOM! The impact exploded with terrifying force. Smoke filled the air. Luffy's straw hat drifted gently down as he appeared battered, lying on the deck.
Festa laughed. "On this sea, only one can claim everything. The strongest."
Festa cackled madly. "Exactly! The treasure is the roadmap to Laugh Tale, the final resting place of the One Piece! Burying the path Roger foolishly hid in darkness, leading straight to Pirate King glory! I found it! I'll use it to reshape this era! I'll throw the wildest celebration ever!"
His giant robot stomped toward Luffy.
"Die!"
Suddenly, bullets—or something like them—pelted the robot's body.
Festa spun around. Usopp had somehow gotten back up and was firing.
"This fight isn't over yet!" Usopp shouted, launching more seed-like projectiles.
Festa laughed. "Is that all? Not only weak, but stupid too!"
Then the seeds sprouted green vines, wrapping around the giant's fingers.
BAM! A massive finger snapped off.
Usopp shouted, "The captain risked everything for me! How can I just sit back?!"
Festa's voice boomed. "The weaker the dog, the louder it barks!"
Suddenly, a cannon appeared in the robot's hand, aimed at Usopp.
Festa roared, "Celebrations are about passion! We are the most fanatical challengers of the world! Full-throttle frenzy!"
Admiral Kizaru looked from his ship. "Looks like things got seriously out of hand…" A soldier whispered in his ear, and Kizaru sighed. "Has the treasure of the Pirate King appeared?"
Chaos engulfed the battlefield—pirates and Navy clashed fiercely. Zoro and Fujitora were still locked in their ultimate duel.
Suddenly, Fujitora spoke. "The tide has turned. The outcome… will have to wait until next time."
He swung his blade, sending purple energy surging skyward.
Zoro's eyes widened. A flaming meteor hurtled from the heavens.
"..."
