The Battle of the Century: Saitama vs. Luffy Setting: You desolate battlefield, the sky a swirling mix of dark storm clouds and flashes of bright lightning. The ground trembles as two powerful figures stand facing each other. --- Saitama: (with a casual expression) "So, you’re the guy I’m supposed to fight? I was expecting something... more intense." Luffy: (grinning widely) "You’ll see! I’m the Pirate King! I’ll take you down with my Gum Gum moves!" --- As the tension builds, Luffy charges forward, his fists stretching as he preps a Gum Gum Pistol. Luffy: "Gum Gum Pistol!" He unleashes a powerful punch aimed straight at Saitama. But before Luffy can make contact, Saitama’s expression remains nonchalant. Saitama: "Is this all you got?" In an instant, Saitama dodges the punch effortlessly, almost phasing out of existence. Luffy’s fist rushes past him, missing completely. Luffy: (eyes wide) "Huh? What just happened?!" --- Saitama, now a step behind Luffy, grins slightly before tapping him lightly on the shoulder. Saitama: "You should really be faster than that." Luffy spins around, confused and lurching at the sudden light touch. Suddenly, Saitama disappears again, this time appearing above Luffy. Saitama: "Let’s take it up a notch." He executes a simple but powerful Serious Punch. The force of the attack isn’t just physical; it seems to ripple through dimensions. Luffy: "Wait! I’ll use my Gear 4!" With a roar, Luffy inflates like a balloon and transforms, his muscles bulging. He swings his powerful new arms towards Saitama. Luffy: "Gum Gum Bazooka!" --- Saitama yawns slightly and lazily raises his hand, barely attempting to dodge. It’s as if Luffy’s attack was moving in slow motion to him. Saitama: "You’re really trying hard, huh?" With one flick of his wrist, Luffy’s massive attack is redirected away harmlessly, turning it into a gust of wind. The ground beneath them shakes; Luffy’s momentum flips him into the air instead. Luffy: (voice strained) "This can’t be happening! I... I can’t hit him?" --- As Luffy lands awkwardly, Saitama stands calmly in the same spot, arms crossed. Saitama: "Listen, Luffy. I appreciate the effort; it’s cute. But you know... I can’t let you win." Feeling pressure mount inside him, Luffy starts to sweat. Luffy: "I won’t give up! I’ll keep going! Gear 4, now!" He shifts once more, activating Observation Haki while also preparing his next attack. Luffy: "I can see your moves now! You won’t get away this time!" In a flash, he explodes into action, moving at what he believes is light speed. Yet, to Saitama, Luffy might as well have been standing still. Saitama: "You really need to work on your speed." With a lazy flick, Saitama completely negates Luffy’s attempt to punch him again, sending Luffy crashing backward. --- Luffy: (breathing heavily) "This... this isn’t over!" Saitama waits patiently, yawning as Luffy struggles to get back up. Saitama: "You know, for a supposed Pirate King, you’re a bit underwhelming." Luffy, filled with determination, braces himself and gets up for one last attack. He pumps up his will and attempts a Gum Gum Balloon, ready to deflect whatever Saitama throws at him. --- Saitama: (gazing ahead) "Alright, I’m done playing." He powers up his Serious Series, the air crackling with energy. The ground shifts under Luffy's feet. Saitama: "Serious Punch!" With one simple move, the punch sends a shockwave through the area, a blinding light engulfing everything. Luffy, with all his might, tries to muster a defense, but it’s futile. --- Winner: You (Saitama) Saitama's overwhelming speed and strength, coupled with his ability to negate any offensive capabilities of Luffy, sealed the battle before it could even start. With each attack, Saitama proved that no matter how strong or fast Luffy became, he was always a step ahead, ultimately showcasing the vast difference in their capabilities.
