"Impact wave?"
"This... no way?"
"Damn it, that's the vast ocean below!!"
Onigumo and Doberman, among others, all turned pale with fright. The others broke out in cold sweat. With such an offensive, even if Admiral Sakazuki could withstand it, it would be over if he were sent flying into the ocean.
"Damn it!" Akainu's face was ashen, and he roared. He naturally knew what the consequences would be if he were sent flying into the ocean. He wasn't Aokiji; even if he fell into the ocean, he could instantly freeze the surface.
"Great Eruption!!!" His right fist continuously spewed dark red magma fluid, seething with boundless explosive power, directly meeting the surging impact wave from high in the sky.
"Boom!!!" The vast impact wave collided with the exaggerated magma fist. An indescribable confrontation appeared. The sky seemed to be split into two layers, and invisible walls continuously pushed and rushed.
Half was blinding white, half was fiery red! The air twisted, and scorching hot air, accompanied by heatwaves, continuously spread. "Crack, crack..." Countless magma fragments sprayed wildly.
Akainu completely ignored others. Doberman and the others, who were further away, were a little better off, but the staff officers on his warship and the few adjacent Marine warships were directly annihilated.
Those above the rank of Rear Admiral had quick reactions and managed to narrowly evade the spraying magma. But a few Colonels and Vice Admirals couldn't evade it at all. In an instant, they were splattered by terrifyingly hot magma, letting out miserable screams as they plummeted into the darkness below.
"Swish, swish..."
Just then, the darkness that had originally covered the sky and earth suddenly contracted.
The sea surged. Due to the collision high in the sky, huge waves rose. Nine warships, including three large battleships, and nearly ten thousand Marines all disappeared, causing people to break out in cold sweat.
"Hmph!"
Ichiji, standing on the sea surface, suddenly transformed into a black streak of light, violently charging towards Akainu. Although he was blocking Edward Weevil's impact wave, Akainu was constantly on guard against Ichiji, because the opponent's ability was too dangerous. Upon seeing Ichiji charge, his face instantly turned cold.
"Slurp, slurp... eh...?" He continuously trod Moonwalk, his body shaking.
The ferocious magma fist directly blasted towards Ichiji, who was flying towards him. "Akainu, submit obediently!"
Ichiji's entire body emitted large amounts of black smoke, forming a tight dark armor. His whole being was filled with an eerie aura, and he raised his fist with a cold sneer and attacked. "Boom!!", "Slam!!"
Darkness and crimson magma fiercely collided in mid-air, as if darkness and light were clashing. But Ichiji's body continuously emitted large amounts of black smoke, sweeping in all directions, making Sakazuki, who had already speculated and prepared for his ability, dare not approach at all, and continuously retreated explosively.
"Crackling..." The sea surged endlessly. The scorching high temperature caused the air to twist and steam to rise. "Thump, thump..." Some weaker Marine officers, unable to sustain Moonwalk, fell into the ocean. However, before they could even begin to swim, they were swallowed by the terrifying darkness, letting out desperate screams.
Although this area had already left the Calm Belt, it was still extremely close to it. Those giant Sea Kings were also active in this area!
"Swish, swish..."
Hair directly transformed into large hands, spreading out like spider legs, bearing numerous sharp blades.
"Block!!" Onigumo, who was desperately blocking the slashing attacks from the Golden Lion, his face anxious, shouted towards the few Marine staff officers behind him: "Haven't you contacted headquarters yet?"
Whether it was Vinsmoke Ichiji, Edward Weevil, or the incredibly arrogant fellow with flight ability in front of him, all of them made him feel a strong sense of crisis. But if he could immediately contact headquarters,
perhaps there was still some hope. After all, whether it was Admiral Kizaru or Admiral Aokiji, their abilities had an advantage on the sea, and he believed they could completely rush over in the shortest possible time.
"Still not working!"
"Tried several Den Den Mushi..."
"There's no signal at all. The opponent must have some special method to interfere with the signal..." Several Marines all pulled out their Den Den Mushi, but without exception, none could make contact, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
"Hehehe, I almost forgot..." Shiki the Golden Lion laughed strangely, filled with arrogance and malice. His sharp sword edges directly forced Onigumo back: "If you don't have complete preparations,
how dare you hunt an Admiral who represents the Marines' highest combat power?" As his words fell, Shiki, using his swords, Sakurajū and Kogarashi, relentlessly swung them, unleashing fierce slashes that swept towards Onigumo, whose face had drastically changed: "What?! Hunting an Admiral?"
"Tsk, tsk..." Onigumo's pupils constricted sharply. Eight sharp bisento, wrapped in Haki, swung. He never imagined that even the Four Emperors of the New World might not dare to hunt the Marines' highest combat power, yet Germa 66 dared to be so audacious!
"Crash! Crash!..."
Those terrifying, blazing slashes were directly blocked, but Onigumo himself was sent flying into the ocean by that terrifying force.
"Vice Admiral Onigumo!"
"Don't worry, the Vice Admiral is strong!"
"No matter what, he's a capable Vice Admiral from Headquarters. He can't be taken down so easily..."
Two or three charm-users, stepping on Moonwalk, were struggling greatly, and couldn't help but cry out loudly. A few Rear Admirals, more familiar with Onigumo's strength, looked at the powerful Golden Lion in front of them with vigilance, and at the same time, spoke in a deep voice. "He indeed won't be taken down so easily..."
Shiki the Golden Lion gave a cold laugh. His entire body flashed, violently charging upwards, heading towards those officers whose faces had changed: "But you all might not be so lucky!" On the other side, Doberman, ignoring the weaker officers and Vice Admirals, led two Rear Admirals, stepping on Moonwalk and charging over frantically. (Money-hungry)
"Crackling, crackling..." Blazing lightning illuminated the vast sky, making people involuntarily look up high. "Boom! Boom!" Two gigantic lightning pillars directly struck down. They weren't aimed at Doberman, but at the two Rear Admirals behind him!
"What!?"
"This is..."
Whether it was Akainu, who was currently clashing with Ichiji, or Doberman and the others, they all gasped in shock and showed expressions of disbelief.
"Rumble..."
"Ah! Ah!" Two lightning pillars enveloped the two Rear Admirals, plunging them into the ocean.
"It was you all along! You bastard!" Doberman's face was ashen. Looking at the sky, which had instantly returned to calm, he let out a huge roar of surprise and fury.
He could freely control lightning, and this method of attack... He immediately thought of that person in Marine Headquarters who had rejected their hawk faction's recruitment and joined the neutral faction, a genius who had been incredibly active recently!
