Meanwhile, Luffy's tiny form had already begun growing back to normal as he continued his charge toward Ace. Marines and pirates alike clashed all around him, but nothing could slow Luffy down.

Drawing his arm back, Coby grinned as he fisted toward the gathered Marines. "HIKEN!" he shouted, his voice carrying across the battlefield. A massive, fiery fist erupted from his knuckles, surging forward with blazing intensity. The Marines stared in stunned disbelief as the flaming manifestation rocketed toward them, incinerating a row of soldiers on impact.

For a brief second, the entire battlefield froze, all eyes shifting toward the scaffold where Ace remained shackled. Some blinked, wondering if he had somehow broken free, but Ace was still there, his shocked expression locked on the sight of his own attack being used.

"That's... Fire Fist Ace's move," a Marine whispered, bewilderment spreading through their ranks. Whispers of confusion rippled across the battlefield as everyone tried to make sense of what they had just seen.

On the execution platform, Sengoku cursed under his breath for the third time that day. Grabbing the Den Den Mushi, he roared into the receiver, addressing the entire Marineford. "That man is Coby the Copy Ninja, Vice-Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates! He's suspected of having eaten an unknown Devil Fruit capable of copying the abilities of others. The move he just used—Fire Fist Ace's signature attack—is now part of his arsenal!"

The announcement sent shockwaves through the battlefield. Marines, pirates, even the Shichibukai were left staring at Coby, who floated in the air using Geppo, his usual grin spread across his face. He wasn't about to explain that it wasn't a Devil Fruit power he was copying—let them think what they wanted.

Coby launched himself forward again, dodging a barrage of cannon fire that was sent his way. The Marines, now alerted to his presence, focused more attacks on him. But Coby wasn't worried. He ducked and weaved through the chaos, using "Soru" to appear behind groups of Marines before knocking them out with well-placed strikes.

Meanwhile, Luffy continued his reckless charge toward Ace, blasting through anyone in his path. A Marine tried to catch him with a large net, but Luffy easily dodged it, stretching his arm to send the Marine flying with a quick punch. "I'm coming, Ace!" Luffy yelled, his eyes locked on his brother.

Coby scanned all the abilities presented before him, a wild grin spreading across his face. Without a care for the battlefield's chaos, he threw his head back and laughed loudly. "Hahahaha! Hahahaha!" His booming laughter echoed, drawing the attention of pirates and Marines alike, all looking at him as if he lost his mind. Only Doflamingo stood in the distance, amused, watching with a gleam in his eye, recognizing something of a kindred spirit.

Ignoring everyone else, Coby glanced toward Mihawk, who had stepped forward, clearly intent on intercepting Luffy. The world's greatest swordsman had his eyes locked on Luffy, internally apologizing to Shanks for what he was about to do. But before Mihawk could make his move, Coby appeared in his path, Shusui drawn and ready. The heavy black blade gleamed in the sunlight as he twirled it effortlessly.

Mihawk's eyes narrowed slightly, intrigued. "Nice sword," he said, his voice calm, though there was a hint of appreciation.

Coby smirked, keeping his posture loose but ready. "We meet again, Hawk Eye."

Mihawk tilted his head, trying to place the familiarity in Coby's tone. "Have we? I don't recall," he mused, his tone neither dismissive nor antagonistic. Mihawk rarely forgot a face, but Coby didn't stand out in his memory like Zoro or Luffy. He assumed it must've been during one of his fleeting encounters with the Straw Hat Pirates in the East Blue.

Coby didn't take offense. Unlike Zoro, who had fought Mihawk to death's door, or Luffy, whose very presence left a lasting impression, Coby's previous encounter with the swordsman had been brief—just a passing glance.

But this time would be different.

With no more words exchanged, Mihawk lunged, his black sword Yoru slicing through the air with terrifying speed. Coby met him head-on, Shusui crashing against Yoru with a sharp clang, the force sending a shockwave that rippled across the battlefield. Ice cracked beneath their feet, the sheer power behind their strikes shaking the ground.

Luffy, still charging forward, barely paid attention to the clash happening behind him. His focus was on Ace and the scaffold that loomed ever closer. Marines kept trying to block his path, but they were nothing to him as he smashed through them, fists flying, each punch sending Marines sprawling across the ice.

Coby, meanwhile, was holding his own against Mihawk. Lol, what a joke—he really wasn't. Each slash Mihawk delivered cut through the ice like it was nothing, sending massive chunks flying through the air. Coby dodged with the barest of margins, barely escaping as the strikes whooshed past him, cutting icebergs as if they were tofu.

A particularly close slash came so near, he felt the icy wind rush past his neck as Yoru barely missed him. Mihawk was toying with him, making each dodge closer than the last, showing him just how outmatched he was.

"This guy's a monster," Coby muttered under his breath, dropping into a crouch to avoid another swipe that shattered the ice beneath him. If one of those slashes connected, he would be in pieces, no doubt about it.

Just when it seemed like Mihawk was ready to stop playing around and get serious, someone else arrived on the scene.

"That's enough, Mihawk."

It was Vista, leaping into the fray with a grin, his dual blades raised. He caught Mihawk's sword with both of his own, sparks flying from the clash of steel. Coby took a step back, using the momentary distraction to breathe.

"Marco said Pops' orders are to protect Straw Hat and his vice-captain," Vista added, glancing at Coby with a nod. "So consider yourself under our protection."

Coby gave a quick nod back, grateful for the help. "Thanks, I owe you one."

Vista waved it off, his focus shifting fully to Mihawk as their swords clashed again. "Just go! Get back to your captain."

With Vista keeping Mihawk busy, Coby didn't need to be told twice. He used Geppo to propel himself into the air, zooming away from the battle. He scanned the chaotic battlefield below, spotting Luffy still charging ahead toward Ace, punching and kicking Marines out of his way.

Coby used Soru to reappear beside Luffy, his breath still a little ragged from his earlier encounter. "You good, Luffy?" he asked, already knowing the answer.

Luffy grinned, his fists still dripping with water from his attacks. "Hell yeah!" he shouted, sending another Marine flying with a powerful punch. "Ace is right there! We're almost there, Coby!"

The scaffold was getting closer, but the Marines were pouring in faster, forming a wall of bodies between them and Ace. Coby's eyes narrowed as he scanned the crowd. Kizaru was somewhere nearby, and he wasn't about to let his guard down.

"Don't get reckless, man. You know these guys won't just let us walk up there," Coby reminded him, knocking out two Marines with a quick flurry of punches.

Luffy, as usual, didn't seem worried. "I'm getting through no matter what!" he shouted, launching himself forward again with another Jet Pistol, clearing more Marines from their path.

The two of them fought side by side, cutting down Marines left and right as they made their way toward the scaffold.
