🤗 Please if you find any incorrect names let me know in comments so I can fix them 

[At this moment, black light flooded the sky...]

[The entire Marine Headquarters seemed to enter a deep abyss!]

[The sudden situation made everyone instinctively stop their movements in an instant...]

[Gaze after gaze, both consciously and subconsciously, cast towards Jesus Burgess!!!]

[Only to see... where... was Jesus Burgess!!!]

[A terrifying monster that looked like a starved hyena was staring coldly at everyone present~~~]

[A massive body!]

[Horns filled with demonic aura!!!]

[A sharp, long tail!!!]

[He was clearly a demon from hell...]

[Burgess: "Ah..."]

[Shiki: "Nani??? What is this ghostly thing!?"]

[Trafalgar Law: "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Is this his true form, or a Devil Fruit transformation???"]

[Charlotte Katakuri: "This is a demon, isn't it...?"]

[Borsalino: "He represents the highest authority of the World Government, yet he's turned into this ghostly appearance, ha ha!!"]

[Rocks D. Xebec: "Look at this. So this is what the Gorosei look like? Maybe all of them are like this?"]

[Monkey D. Dragon: "This is a fellow from hell!!!"]

[Nami: "So terrifying~~~"]

When everyone saw Jesus Burgess's Devil Fruit transformation, they were all extremely shocked!!!

Before this, almost no one knew if the Five Elders actually possessed power...

Now, everyone not only knew that the Five Elders were power users, but they were also this kind of power user~~~

Although animal-type Mythical Zoan transformations weren't all the same, no matter if it was Sengoku's Daibutsu form, or Marco's Phoenix form, or Sengoku's Grand Buddha form...

Their Mythical Zoan forms at least gave people a normal, acceptable visual impression~~~

However, Jesus Burgess's transformation, any normal person would feel fear and dread just by looking at it...

Then, connecting it to his identity...

The sense of disparity in this transformation was even greater!!!

Marijoa~~~

Between the powers....

"Damn observation system!!!"

Jesus Burgess's face was extremely grim. He never expected that this observation system would actually expose his Devil Fruit ability...

Markus Mars (Gorosei) slightly narrowed his eyes, speaking with a heavy expression: "Later, our abilities might also be exposed. If that's the case, then it will be very troublesome~~~"

"That's right! This observation system, it's truly a bastard!"

Topman Warcury (Gorosei) also raged.

All five of them were animal-type Mythical Zoan users. If their abilities were exposed, it wouldn't have much of an impact on them personally~~~

But because all of their Mythical Zoan forms represented evil creatures, this would create negative associations for people.

This would lead to the World Government's control over the entire world being affected!!!

As the five people whose status was second only to Imu, they naturally had many ways to obtain top-tier Devil Fruits~~~

So the reason they chose these five Devil Fruits was naturally because these five Devil Fruits were very powerful!!!

Under the temptation of great power, appearances no longer mattered~~~

But...

Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not expose their forms in front of the world!!!

Even if they had to be exposed, they would later kill everyone to silence them and cut off all roots!!!

But now, it was good...

Directly exposed to the whole world~~~

They didn't even have a chance to cover it up!!

["What is this thing!!!"]

[Whitebeard's brow furrowed, his face showing a hint of discomfort!!!]

[Sengoku also had his pupils constricted: "This is...!!!"]

["Ah! This is a demon!!!?" Nami secretly covered her mouth, exclaiming in shock.]

["They're really a bunch of good-for-nothings! This old man actually has to make a move to stall the Straw Hat Pirates!!!"]

Jesus Burgess's gaze coldly swept across the Marines present. He then took a step and directly leaped to where Garp was!

[Knowing Jesus Burgess wanted to break through, Garp immediately countered him with a punch!]

[Garp exchanged a punch with him!!!]

[However, Jesus Burgess also attacked Garp again!]

[Garp had no other choice but to brace himself and fight back!!!]

[But Jesus Burgess clearly had the situation in hand. His demonic horns directly pierced through Garp's shoulder!!!]

[Pound!!——]

[Garp quickly followed up with a punch, directly sending Jesus Burgess flying out with one punch!!!]

[Jesus Burgess, having achieved his goal with one strike, did not linger. He turned and charged towards Whitebeard...]

[He no longer paid attention to the injured Garp, because an injured Garp would absolutely not be able to sustain himself for too long against Garp's fists!!!]

[As long as Whitebeard was dealt with, the Straw Hat Pirates would instantly be at a disadvantage!]

["Grandpa!!——"]

[Seeing Garp severely wounded, Luffy's and Ace's eyes simultaneously turned blood red!]

["Damn it!! I'll kill you!"]

[Ace abandoned this part of the battlefield and directly charged towards Jesus Burgess.]

[Luffy, on the other hand, yelled directly: "Buggy, Usopp, Law, when you've severely wounded your opponent, don't hesitate, retreat immediately!!!"]

["Nami, once the time is right, open the Slingshot Slide! We're all retreating!!!"]

["Law, you're responsible for taking me then!"]

[Luffy quickly gave commands~~~]

[But his commands made everyone a little bewildered...]

[Severely wound opponent???]

[Buggy, Usopp, and Law were all a bit bewildered!!!]

[Do they still need to be severely wounded to wait until now?]

[Nami was also bewildered, but she still responded based on her 100% trust in Luffy: "Okay!!!"]

["No problem!!!" She didn't even think whether Luffy's instructions were reasonable. As long as he said it, it was true!!!]

[As for the timing Luffy mentioned, they believed that since he said it, that "timing" would definitely appear...]

Jesus Burgess: "Heh heh, Straw Hat Luffy, this is impatience, isn't it? Severely wound your opponent... Are you really underestimating Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Borsalino?"

Sengoku: "That's right!! Although those from that side, Usopp and Buggy, have great power, if they want to decide the winner, it will take at least several days of fighting. Only when everyone's stamina drops will there be loopholes for the opponent to seize!!"

Katakuri: "That's right. A solo duel between powerhouses of that level... But there's no way to say that in a quick fight!!!"

Kid Eustass: "Looking at this situation, those guys, Usopp and Buggy, absolutely cannot severely wound their opponents in a short time. They might even be injured by the opponent for being impatient."

Borsalino: "Indeed, it sounds like that."

Borsalino: "Could it be that the Straw Hat Luffy on that side is truly at a dead end...?"

Looking at this scene, Law felt a strong sense of worry~~~

Although the life-or-death situation on that side wouldn't affect this side!

But if Luffy was truly the person the world was waiting for, then logically, that side's Luffy should not die young!!

At least... before completing the world's answer, he cannot die!!!

If that side's Luffy died... then it would mean that this side's Luffy could also die.

Then... perhaps he wouldn't be the person the world was waiting for~~~

Shanks: "Based on Straw Hat Luffy's character, he shouldn't be desperate and blindly seek a cure. He should be calmer at such a critical moment!! Perhaps he truly has a trump card up his sleeve. Let's see..."

Although Shanks also didn't know what would happen next, he still had confidence in Straw Hat Luffy!!!

[After Luffy gave the order, he sent CP0's Rob Lucci flying with one punch, then jumped into the air~~~]

[In his Nika form, Luffy's entire body was covered in sparkling white light.]

[His two hands clenched into fists. In the astonished eyes of the crowd, he wildly pounded his own abdomen!!!]

[Thump!]

[A punch landed. It wasn't the sound of flesh and blood colliding, but rather a sound like a war drum filled with fighting spirit!!!]

[Thump!]

[Another punch landed!]

[And another high-pitched dragon-like drum sound!!!]

[This was different from the previous sounds of the Drums of Liberation~~~]

[The sound of the Drums of Liberation before was like lightly tapping a drum with one's hand; the rhythm was gentle and made people feel happy...!!!!]

[But the current drum sounds were like war drums on the battlefield!!!]

[As if the vanguard of a thousand armies and ten thousand horses, heavily beating war drums with wooden mallets, inspiring people to fight for freedom!!!]

[Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!!!]

[...]

[Luffy's left and right fists alternately pounded his abdomen, the sound of war drums echoing one after another~~~]

[They were actually connected by a special rhythm~~~]

[It transformed into a continuous war song!!!]

["Gear Six: Song of the War Drum!!!——"]

[As Luffy continuously pounded his abdomen, the cloud of smoke around him grew thicker and thicker. His originally white flame-like hair now turned into a sea of white flames...]

[It surged and churned, as if wanting to burn away all evil in this world!]

Monkey D. Dragon: "What? There's a Gear Six???"

Seeing Straw Hat Luffy's development, Law felt his eyes directly ache!!!

That side's Luffy only developed to Gear Three...

...And this guy developed to Gear Six!!!

Directly a two-gear difference!!!

Of course... as for the system rewarding Luffy with the Devil Fruit awakening, this only allowed Luffy to unlock Gear Five early.

As for Gear Four, Luffy still had to develop it himself...

However, with Gear Four from that side's Luffy as a reference, this side's Luffy's development of Gear Four would be quite simple.

Gol D. Roger: "Song of the War Drum..."

Seeing this, Roger was now absolutely certain.

It's him!!!

It must be him!

The sound of the Drums of Liberation could make people happy~~~

The Song of the War Drum inspires people to fight for freedom!!!

This is the meaning of Joy Boy's existence...

[Roronoa Zoro: "The war song formed by these drum sounds is truly blood-boiling!!!"]

[Vinsmoke Sanji: "Yes!!! I can't wait to directly rush into the red frame screen and fight the Marines over there!!!!"]

[Nami: "Even just watching from outside the screen, we already feel infinite power. Our companions in the screen must feel it even more truly, right!!"]

[Buggy: "What are you talking about? Why don't I feel my blood boiling? I just think it's quite melodic???"]

[Trafalgar Law: "Perhaps, this useless group of Marines might be affected..."]

[Jewelry Bonney: "That makes sense!! I think it's possible!"]

["Companions, now is the time!!——"]

[Luffy roared, his body directly charging towards Jesus Burgess!!!]

[At the same time, whether it was the Straw Hat Pirates' companions, or Whitebeard and Ace, or even Garp...]

[As long as they were on the same front as Luffy, as long as they had even a shred of thought to fight for Luffy...]

[Then the melody of the Song of the War Drum directly poured into their souls, strongly stimulating their potential~~~]

[In contrast, on the Marines and CP0 side...]

[After they heard the melody of the Song of the War Drum, all they showed was astonishment and discomfort~~~]

[It was as if students who hadn't finished their summer homework were about to be checked by their teacher. Helpless, bewildered, hopeless...]

[Under the inspiration of the Song of the War Drum, Zoro suddenly felt his entire body filled with power!!!]

[Both his Armament Haki and Observation Haki temporarily ascended to a new height at this moment!!!]

[Power, speed, focus, etc., all transformed anew...]

[Completely on a different level than before!!!]

["Three-Sword Style: Dance of the War Drum!!——"]

[Under the buff of the Song of the War Drum, Zoro seemed to enter a state of complete clarity, a state where there were no longer any worries, fighting for his companions, for freedom...]

[Slay gods if gods stand in your way!! Slay Buddhas if Buddhas stand in your way!!!]

[Three swords in Zoro's hands, under his vigorous swings, were like a fierce storm, launching continuous attacks at Kizaru~~~]

[Zoro's figure danced and twisted, constantly pressing forward!!!!]

[In this instant, Kizaru suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure!!!]

[He continuously condensed freezing spears to block Zoro's slashes, but he still couldn't keep up~~~]

[Wham!!!]

(Slightly startled) [A bloody wound suddenly appeared on Kizaru's body!!!]

["What!!!"]

[Kizaru's pupils dilated, his face greatly astonished~~~]

[This strike was too fast, and its power too strong!]

[So much so that after the freezing spear he used to block was shattered, he didn't even have time to dodge and was already struck by Zoro's slash!!!!]

[Whoa!]

[Whoa!]

[With the first strike, the second strike soon followed...]

[The wounds on Kizaru's body grew more and more~~~]

["Damn it!! What's going on!!!?"]

[He subconsciously turned his head to look in Kizaru's direction, only to find Kizaru also being forced to retreat by Buggy!]

[At this moment, Buggy activated his Bara Bara (Chop-Chop) form!!!]

[One head floated in the air for observation and command~~~]

[His body split into over a hundred pieces, each holding a small long spear formed by broken iron walls~~~]

[Under the encouragement of the Song of the War Drum, Buggy's Armament Haki temporarily reached its extreme!!!]

[His Armament Haki, transmitted through his body fragments to the small long spears, made these long spears not only possess the ability to capture elemental entities but also filled them with power!]

[Not only that, Buggy also felt his own strength, speed, and focus significantly increased!]

[Under his control, these hundred-plus "spear-soldiers" attacked Borsalino (Kizaru) with lightning speed and ferocity!!!!]

[Borsalino was like a Valkyrie, guarding his own body! Fully focused!]

[The two Ame no Murakumo Swords in his hands furiously slashed, continuously clashing with the surrounding "spear-soldiers"~~~]

[But even so, every now and then, a "spear-soldier" would break through his defensive blockade and fiercely stab into his body!!!]

[And just as Buggy launched a massive attack, Zoro seized the opportunity and suddenly erupted!!!]

["Three-Sword Style: Dance of the War Drum - Ambush!!——"]
