Luffy (eyes narrowing, voice filled with resolve): I’m not letting anyone else I care about die... not like Ace! Memories of his brother, Ace, flood his mind. His pain, his loss, and the promise he made to protect those he loves. Luffy clenches his fist, his determination blazing through his veins.

With his hand behind him, Luffy begins to stretch, his body gathering momentum as he activates Gear Second. The air around him grows heavy with the pressure of his expanding form.

Luffy (gritting his teeth): I won’t let you destroy what we’ve fought for!

His body surges with power, the veins popping out from his skin. He coats his arm with Haki, the black armor-like energy wrapping around his muscles. The air around him shimmers from the intensity of his resolve.

Luffy (thinking to himself, as his fist ignites in flames): Ace… this one's for you!

In an instant, Luffy’s massive fist is engulfed in blazing fire, his Red Hawk technique unleashed. The flames roar around him, igniting the water as Luffy swings his arm forward, aiming straight for Hody.

Luffy (shouting with all his might): RED HAWK!

With the sheer force of the punch, Luffy propels himself and his fiery fist toward Hody. The attack lands squarely in Hody’s stomach, sending him flying through the water. The impact is so powerful that it creates a shockwave, throwing Hody into the massive Noah ship.

Hody is sent crashing into the ship’s hull, creating a massive explosion. The air bubble around Luffy pops, but the battle is far from over. Hody’s body can be seen in the wreckage of the Noah, but he’s not finished yet. He grits his teeth, struggling to rise, filled with hatred.

Hody (panting, glaring with fury): You think you’ve won, Straw Hat?!

Luffy, breathing heavily, stands tall in the water, his fire still burning around him, though his body is clearly exhausted. He knows Hody isn’t finished yet. Meanwhile, the Noah, the massive fish-man ship, continues to plummet toward the island, threatening to destroy everything in its path.
