Screen 1 — Ultimate XLR8 and Gear 5 vs Kizaru
A flash of gold cuts across the sky.
Kizaru appears above the lab, light gathering around his leg.
Kizaru:
"Still as troublesome as ever."
Luffy bursts into Gear 5, white smoke curling around him as he laughs.
Luffy:
"This is gonna be fun!"
Beside him, Ultimate XLR8 lowers into a sprinting stance, blue circuit lines glowing brighter.
Ben:
"This one's mine too."
Kizaru moves first.
A beam of light shoots forward.
In the same instant, Ultimate XLR8 vanishes in a blue blur, intercepting the attack path and forcing Kizaru to shift.
At the same moment, Luffy springs upward in Gear 5, stretching his arm and swinging a massive Haki-coated punch.
Kizaru blocks, but now he's pressured from both sides.
One side is speed.
The other is chaotic Gear 5 pressure.
Ultimate XLR8 circles the battlefield in rapid bursts, forcing Kizaru to keep tracking movement.
Luffy attacks from above and the front.
That's honestly a strong fight setup.
Screen 2 — Mid Fight: Speed and Chaos
The battle above Egghead Island intensifies.
Golden light and blue streaks flash across the sky.
Kizaru launches multiple light beams in every direction.
But Ultimate XLR8 is already moving.
Ben becomes a blur, weaving between the photon strikes with razor-sharp turns.
His ball-like speed wheels spin at impossible speed, blue circuit lines glowing brighter.
Ben:
"You're not catching me this time!"
Kizaru's eyes narrow slightly.
Kizaru:
"Oh?"
He vanishes into light.
For a split second, the battlefield goes silent.
Then—
A golden kick appears from behind.
Ultimate XLR8 barely twists away, the strike grazing his shoulder.
Ben skids across the air platform.
Before Kizaru can follow up, Monkey D. Luffy in Gear 5 drops from above.
Luffy:
"Gotcha!"
A massive Haki-coated fist crashes downward.
Kizaru blocks with his arm, but the force sends him sliding backward.
Luffy laughs wildly.
Luffy:
"He's fast!"
Ben circles around in a blue spiral.
Ultimate XLR8:
"Keep him busy from the front!"
Luffy grins.
Luffy:
"That's what I'm doing!"
Ben accelerates and lands a rapid claw strike across Kizaru's side just as Luffy follows with another punch.
Now the fight is perfectly shared:
Ben controls the speed pressure
Luffy controls the heavy offense
Kizaru smiles calmly.
Kizaru:
"You two are quite troublesome."
The mid-fight tension rises even more.
Screen 3 — The Battle Turns Worse
The battlefield over Egghead Island suddenly goes silent.
A dark presence spreads across the island.
Everyone below looks up.
A horrifying figure appears.
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the Five Elders, arrives in a terrifying spider-like transformed form.
Even Kizaru pauses.
Ben's voice sharpens.
Ultimate XLR8:
"…Another one."
---
At the same moment, Monkey D. Luffy pushes forward in Gear 5.
Luffy:
"Take this!"
He lands a devastating White Star Gun on Kizaru.
The impact sends Kizaru crashing backward.
Before Kizaru can fully recover, Ultimate XLR8 flashes in from the side.
Blue circuit lines blaze across his body.
Ben channels Armament Haki into his claws and fist.
Ultimate XLR8:
"ULTIMATE PUNCH!"
In a burst of extreme speed, Ben delivers a Haki-coated strike directly into Kizaru's side, amplifying the force with momentum.
The combined hit shakes the air.
Kizaru is pushed back further.
---
But the cost is visible.
Luffy breathes heavily.
The strain of Gear 5 catches up to him.
White smoke fades.
He drops out of his powerful form and falls to one knee.
Luffy:
"…Tch."
Ben glances toward him, then toward Saturn.
His posture lowers.
The real danger has now arrived.
Screen 4 — Ben Falls Back, Kuma Arrives
The atmosphere on Egghead Island turns terrifying.
The monstrous figure of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn moves toward Jewelry Bonney.
Bonney is frozen in shock.
Saturn raises one of his spider-like limbs, preparing a lethal strike.
Ben sees it.
Without thinking, he runs forward.
Ben:
"BONNEY!"
He tries to activate the Omnitrix again, but the strain from Ultimate XLR8 has already hit him.
The green light flickers.
The form collapses.
Ben falls back to his normal human form, breathing hard.
Ben:
"…Not now…"
Still, he throws himself between Bonney and Saturn, trying to protect her.
Saturn's attack comes down.
For a split second, it looks too late.
Then—
A massive figure crashes onto the battlefield.
Bartholomew Kuma.
The original Kuma arrives just in time.
He steps in front of Bonney and Ben, taking the attack and shielding his daughter.
Bonney's eyes widen.
Bonney:
"Dad…!"
Ben, still on one knee, stares up in shock.
Ben:
"…Kuma."
The entire battlefield pauses at the dramatic arrival.
Screen 5 — Ben's Reaction to Kuma's Strike
The battlefield freezes for a heartbeat.
Then Bartholomew Kuma moves.
His massive fist drives forward with overwhelming force and crashes straight into Saint Jaygarcia Saturn.
The impact shakes the ground.
Saturn is blasted backward, his spider-like form visibly damaged.
For the first time, the Elder actually looks hurt.
Ben stares in disbelief from the ground.
Ben:
"…No way."
He pushes himself up slightly, still exhausted from the collapse of Ultimate XLR8.
Ben:
"Kuma actually hurt him…"
There's shock in his voice, but also respect.
Ben knows how terrifying Saturn feels.
Seeing Kuma land a real hit changes the mood completely.
Ben's expression shifts from shock to determination.
Ben:
"Good… so he's not untouchable."
He looks toward Bonney, then back at Kuma.
Ben:
"Protect Bonney. I'll back him up as soon as I can move."
Inside, Ben also feels something else:
hope.
Until this moment, Saturn felt almost impossible to stop.
Kuma's strike proves the fight can still be turned around.
