ONE PIECE: GHIDORAH

The battlefield was engulfed in chaos. Marines and pirates clashed all around, but the central focus of the battle remained on two titans: Vice Admiral Garp and Yuji, the monstrous dragon-man. The air was thick with tension as the two combatants faced off, their sheer presence causing a hush to fall over the surrounding fighters.

Yuji's massive Ghidorah form began to shift. His three heads merged into one, his colossal body shrinking to a more humanoid shape. Dark yellow scales covered his form, glinting ominously under the harsh sunlight. Sharp claws adorned his hands and feet, and a pair of tails lashed behind him, their tips glinting like blades. Black flames burned fiercely on his back, his Lunarian heritage fully ignited. The transformation completed with a crown-like set of horns atop his head, and a pair of massive wings spread out, casting a shadow over the battlefield.

Standing at ten feet tall, Yuji exuded a terrifying aura. His two additional eyes, located beneath his primary ones, glared at Garp with a mix of defiance and resolve.

"A hybrid form, BWAHAHAHA!" Garp chuckled, his grin wide and confident. "Let's see if it's enough to impress me!"

Yuji lunged first, his hybrid form moving with incredible speed for his size. He aimed a powerful claw strike at Garp, the flames on his back roaring. Garp blocked the attack with his haki-coated forearm, the impact sending a shockwave that cracked the ground beneath them.

Yuji's tails whipped forward, one striking toward Garp's legs while the other aimed for his midsection. Garp sidestepped the first tail and caught the second one in his hand, grinning as he yanked Yuji off balance.

"Nice try, brat!" Garp roared as he delivered a haki-infused punch to Yuji's chest, sending the dragon-man skidding backward.

Yuji recovered quickly, planting his claws into the ground to stop his momentum. Without hesitation, he charged again, his wings propelling him forward. He unleashed a flurry of attacks, utilizing his claws, tails, and feet in a relentless barrage.

Garp met each attack with precision, his fists striking with the weight of decades of experience. The battlefield trembled as their blows collided, the sheer force of their clash causing nearby marines and pirates to stagger.

Yuji spun mid-air, one tail sweeping toward Garp's head while his claws aimed for Garp's torso. Garp ducked under the tail and blocked the claws with crossed arms, retaliating with an uppercut that caught Yuji under the chin.

The blow sent Yuji flying upward, but he twisted mid-air and used his wings to stabilize himself. He roared, releasing a burst of flames from his back as he dove toward Garp.

Yuji extinguished the flames on his back, causing his speed to skyrocket. In a blur, he circled around Garp, his movements almost too fast to follow. Garp narrowed his eyes, relying on his *Observation Haki* to track Yuji's movements.

Yuji appeared behind Garp, aiming a tail strike at the Marine's back. Garp spun around just in time, catching the tail with one hand and slamming his other fist into Yuji's torso.

Yuji coughed as the impact reverberated through his body, but he used the momentum to flip backward, his claws slashing at Garp's face. Garp tilted his head to avoid the strike, but one claw managed to graze his cheek, drawing blood.

"Not bad, brat," Garp admitted, wiping the blood away.

Enraged, Yuji unleashed a devastating combination of attacks. His claws and tails struck in rapid succession, each blow aiming to overwhelm Garp's defenses. Flames erupted from his back, adding an element of unpredictability to his strikes.

"Triple Strike - Ghidorah's Fury!"

The coordinated attacks from his tails and limbs forced Garp on the defensive. For a moment, it seemed as though Yuji was gaining the upper hand.

But Garp wasn't called the Marine Hero for nothing. He grinned as he blocked Yuji's strikes, using his haki-coated fists to absorb the impact. With a sudden burst of power, he counterattacked.

"Galaxy Divide!"

Garp's fist glowed with haki as he struck Yuji's side with a devastating punch. The force of the blow sent shockwaves rippling across the battlefield, and Yuji was thrown backward, crashing into a rocky outcrop.

Yuji groaned as he stood, blood dripping from his mouth. His scales were cracked in several places, but his golden eyes burned with determination.

"You're tough, old man," Yuji admitted, his voice guttural and raw.

Yuji extinguished the flames on his back once more, his speed increasing to its peak. He darted around Garp, launching hit-and-run attacks that chipped away at the Marine's defenses.

Garp, however, was waiting for this moment. He allowed Yuji to land a few minor strikes, biding his time.

When Yuji lunged forward for another attack, Garp seized the opportunity.

"Meteor Fall!"

Garp's fists came down like twin hammers, striking Yuji's torso with incredible force. The impact was so powerful that Garp's fists penetrated Yuji's scales, leaving a massive wound.

Yuji collapsed to his knees, blood pouring from his torso. His breaths came in ragged gasps as he struggled to remain upright.

Garp stood over Yuji, his fists still radiating with haki. "Brat, just surrender," he said, his voice carrying a note of finality.

Yuji glared up at him, his golden eyes defiant despite his injuries. "Not… a chance…" he growled, his voice weak but resolute.

"YUJI!"

Hancock's voice rang out across the battlefield. She was locked in combat with Bogart, but the sight of Yuji's defeat filled her with rage. With a powerful kick, she forced Bogart back and began running toward Yuji.

Garp glanced at her and chuckled. "BWAHAHAHA! Looks like you've got yourself some loyal allies, brat."

But Yuji didn't respond. His gaze was fixed on Garp, his body trembling as he fought to stand. The battle wasn't over yet.
