What Happened Previously On One Piece?
Kaidou had astutely recognized that Luffy had harnessed his Paramecia power and transformed it into a Zoan ability. Assuming the form of a mighty dragon, Kaidou attempted to engulf Luffy in one swift motion. However, our protagonist had turned the tables by launching a powerful counter-attack from within, utilizing his inflated state to burst out from Kaidou's jaws. Undeterred, Kaidou then launched a Bolo Breath strike aimed at Luffy, but curiously, Luffy emerged unscathed by the onslaught. Just then, Yamato and Momonosuke made their way to the rooftop, drawn by the unusual clash, and they stumbled upon Luffy's remarkable awakened state.
Luffy had merged seamlessly with the sky, triggering a colossal transformation. Kaidou unleashed his fearsome attack, infused with electrifying power from his Hassaikai technique. The strike had connected, driving Luffy's head forcefully into the rooftop. Down on the Live Floor, the alliance watched in awe as Luffy's awakened form was revealed.
Exhaustion had taken its toll as both Kaidou and Luffy had momentarily crumbled, drained from their fierce clash. Yet, their respite had been short-lived as the fight reignited, and Luffy reverted to his awakened state. Unleashing his might, Luffy landed a formidable punch on Kaidou. With determination ablaze, Luffy proclaimed his unwavering ambition to seize the title of Pirate King, reigniting the fierce combat once more.
