📘 ONE PIECE: CHAPTER 1152.5 –
“THE AXE-GOD AWAKENS: GABAN GOES HAKI LEVEL 3⁺⁺ ULTRA INSTINCT VIKING MODE”
[EXT. ELBAF – THE 8TH BRANCH OF YGGDRASIL, MIDDAY OR MAYBE ENDGAME, WHO EVEN KNOWS]
Lightning swirls. The Tree of Giants quakes.
Sommers, the most unkillable of the
Holy Knights, grins with smug villain-tier regenerative abilities, standing over a crater he thinks he made matter.
SOMMERS (taunting):
“You can’t win, old man.
Your axes may be sharp…
But I regenerate faster than fan outrage on Twitter!”
[Enter Scopper Gaban. Hair like a woven beard of gods. Muscles like braided rope. Holding two runic axes that literally hum in Old Norse.]
GABAN (calm):
“I’ve waited long enough.
You’ve seen haki. You’ve seen…
advanced haki.
But there’s a level that only
two people in the entire series have ever reached.”
SOMMERS (rolling eyes):
“Let me guess. Another power-up pulled out of nowhere?”
GABAN (grinning):
“Exactly.”
🔊 CUE TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE
(Parodying Goku’s Super Saiyan 3 scene from Dragon Ball Z)
*
[GABAN drops to one knee, clutching his axes like ancient relics. Wind begins howling. Clouds part. The sky turns blue, then red, then Netflix-gray.]
GABAN (growling):
“This... is what’s called...
Conqueror’s Haki Level 1.
The one you’ve already seen 87 times.”
[Hair starts to grow. Axes float around him like moons.]
GABAN:
“Then there’s Level 2…
Where I coat my soul in willpower so dense, it cuts through regeneration...
like Oda cuts side plots.”
[Lightning crashes. Beard starts braiding itself. Birds explode in the background.]
GABAN (screaming):
“BUT THIS…
IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE…
TO GO EVEN FURTHER…
BEYOND!!!”
⚡️ “AXE-GOD CONQUEROR’S HAKI LEVEL 3⁺: RAGNAROK SOUL-SPLIT FORM!!!” ⚡️
- His hair now reaches the roots of Elbaf.
- His axes are surrounded by spectral Viking spirits playing death metal.
- His aura literally slices the animation budget in half.
- A ghost of Oden sheds a tear in the wind.
[CUT TO STRAW HATS REACTING]
ZORO (holding Enma):
“He didn’t power up. He rewrote the genre.”
SANJI:
“That man’s cooking hotter than my Ifrit Jambe.”
ROBIN (wide-eyed):
“I’ve read about this…
In ancient fanfiction scrolls.”
BROOK:
“I haven’t felt this alive since before I died.”
USOPP (terrified):
“I’m officially irrelevant now, aren’t I?”
LUFFY (chewing meat):
“WOAH! He did the thing!
I wanna go axe mode too!”
JINBE (wise):
“Your crew’s elder just entered a state of haki previously thought impossible by
reality itself.”
[BACK TO GABAN VS SOMMERS]
SOMMERS (stumbling):
“What…
what is this?!
Your haki… it’s burning through my soul panels…”
GABAN (channeling death energy into his axes):
“I don’t just coat my attacks in haki.
I overwrite the will of the
storyboard itself.
This is the end, Sommers.”
GABAN:
“AXE-GOD STYLE:
🌋🌩
WORLD TREE BRANCH-SLASH: PANEL SHATTER EDITION!!! 🌩🌋”
[A single axe swing erupts. Entire frames collapse. Sound effects are replaced by actual Norse chants. Even the soundtrack bows out.]
Sommers’ regeneration fails. He screams in black-and-white.
He’s defeated, off-screen, mid-screen, and post-screen.
📺 CUT TO SBS PANEL – ODA APPEARS, BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL
ODA (in straw hat, sunglasses, sipping champagne):
“So… you’re wondering:
‘Did Oda just copy Goku’s Super Saiyan 3 transformation?’
The answer is: YES.”
ODA:
“I’m not just inspired by shonen clichés.
I’m bathing in them.
I’m
marinating your plot expectations in every trope I can recycle.”
ODA (listing off rivals):
- “Toriyama? I kneel.
- Kishimoto? My BFF.
- Mashima? Sent me a fruit basket after Wano.
- Kubo? The man invented dramatic eye glow. I owe him my royalties.”
ODA (grinning):
“And if you thought Axe God was too much, just WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK:”
- Haki Susanoo Forms (you can ride them like Gundams)
- Mangekyou Observation Haki (lets you see the next arc before I write it)
- Luffy Sharing His Nika Form like it’s a Shonen Netflix Family Plan™:
Kaido, Big Mom, Garp, Dragon, Law, Kidd—hell, maybe even Coby.
- Gear 6: Reality Stretch Mode
- Sanji awakens Raid Suit Hormonal Symphony
- Zoro unlocks “Bankai: 3000 Worlds Reforged”
- Usopp dies but his ghost joins the crew (again)
- Nika Fusion Dance with Naruto, Ichigo, Natsu, Yusuke, Gon, Guts, Yuji, Eren and Denji
- Imu reveals they've been possessed by Gunko, the Gun Devil from Chainsaw Man
ODA (raising money sack):
“The real One Piece?
It’s not a treasure.
It’s
the friends I made selling merch along the way.
And those friends… are called Yen, Dollars, and Film Red box office stats.”
[BACK TO SCOPPER GABAN]
GABAN (to the Straw Hats):
“Alright, kids. Who’s next to unlock a lore-busting power-up from nowhere?”
LUFFY (raising hand):
“Ooo! Me! I wanna do the
Nika Gear 6 Viking Bounce Mode!”
GABAN (sighs, shoulders aching):
“Gods help me. This is just Wano again.”
🧨 NARRATOR VOICE:
“Next Time on One Piece:
Zoro summons a stand.
Luffy fuses with the Going Merry.
And Yamato enters the
Keijoverse.”
