Navy warships are always the most powerful weapons at sea, capable of exerting absolute dominance over pirate ships during naval battles.
The Buster Call Order is built upon the formidable firepower of these warships.
Navy ships are much larger than ordinary vessels, meaning they can carry more cannons. Plus, with the triple large cannons at the bow, a simultaneous salvo can create a coverage of overwhelming firepower.
A dozen warships' artillery alone can destroy an entire island—this is the Demon-Slaying Order, a testament to the immense strength of the World Government.
But what Drake admires even more is Akainu's ruthlessness. He completely disregarded the Navy soldiers at G5 Branch, opening fire without even a warning.
Even though the G5 Navy has long been known for misconduct and even earned the nickname "Pirate Navy," they are still part of the Navy.
However, Drake estimates that others wouldn't show such mercy—Akainu's character is to pursue absolute justice at all costs.
"Indeed, I still dislike you, you know!"
The flame spirit, Fal, was summoned by Drake. After a roar, it spewed a blazing inferno, instantly detonating a large batch of incoming shells.
Dragons are also legendary beings in this world, and anything related to them often becomes legendary.
The story of "Dragon Slayer" Shimotsuki Ryuma, which took place in the isolated land of Wano, has spread far and wide, and it's no wonder it involves the legendary creature of the dragon.
Even among the elite Navy soldiers on the warship, seeing a dragon spewing flames naturally affected their morale.
But for the likes of Akainu and the other Vice Admirals, who are all powerful, their only thought was that their enemy must be defeated.
"Just a beast—don't interfere with our justice!"
"Inu Niku Red Lotus!"
Akainu's arm turned into molten magma, billowing with black smoke. As he launched his attack, it transformed into a fierce dog-shaped form that charged straight at Fal in midair!
But Drake had already leapt forward, smashing the magma dog with a punch.
"I won't let your disgusting justice hurt my precious companions!"
Akainu and Drake, floating in midair, stared at each other with angry expressions.
At that moment, Sasuke activated Susanoo. The armored Susanoo, wielding a massive great bow, shot a lightning arrow straight at Akainu.
Vice Admirals Aokiji and Kizaru jumped into action with moonwalk, swinging their weapons to attack.
The moment the lightning arrow shattered, both were sent flying backward, crashing into the deck of the nearby warship due to the recoil.
But then the second lightning arrow followed immediately, firing through the massive cannon at the bow of the ship, creating a huge hole in the entire warship.
The lightning arrow destroyed the main structure of the ship, causing it to collapse and sink into the sea.
Akainu didn't lack the desire to support Drake, but at this moment, Drake had already closed the distance in front of him.
"Then I'll personally deal with you—the villain polluting justice!"
"Dark Hound!"
Akainu's magma-laden arm suddenly lifted, splattering hot magma everywhere. The dark red magma fist shot directly at Drake.
Drake refused to back down, intertwining flames and Armament Haki on his fist to meet the attack.
The moment their fists collided, a gust of wind swept across the ground, and even the sea surface sank into a huge depression.
Drake frowned slightly as he felt the scorching heat on his fist.
Akainu, now in his prime, was at the peak of his strength, but that also meant that his desire to become stronger was no longer as easy as when he was young.
However, just that punch, Akainu had become significantly stronger than two years ago. His magma's power was even hotter and more destructive.
Moreover, Drake felt that the "My thoughts" power inside him had become even more outrageous—his magma actually pierced through part of his flames.
This was no longer just magma's natural ability; it was a special technique developed by Akainu specifically to counter Drake.
Undoubtedly, the reason was that he lost to Drake during the Marineford War.
Obsession is the best catalyst for growth, and Akainu's obsession had reached an extreme. It was no wonder he hadn't grown as much before.
Akainu was also surprised—Drake had mastered Haki during the Marineford War, and his level was quite high.
This didn't surprise Akainu; it only made him pay more attention to his opponent.
He took a step forward, magma-wrapped fist like a war hammer smashing toward Drake.
Drake countered with a high kick, shattering the magma and sending fragments flying, while flames clashed and dispersed simultaneously. Then both of them threw punches under the cover of flames and magma.
Drake used his forearm to block Akainu's downward punch. His sleeve was burned to ashes by the magma, revealing skin covered with black dragon scales and fiery patterns.
Meanwhile, Drake's other fist gathered black-red lightning, and he struck with a powerful punch!
"King of Flame Dragon's Fist of Domination!"
His fist was still some distance from Akainu's body, but Akainu's body twisted, and he was flung horizontally, crashing directly into the hull of the nearby warship.
The hole caused by the impact was billowing with black smoke, and Akainu staggered out, but his gaze had changed.
"Haoshoku Coiling!"
Akainu recognized Drake's move, and was even more shocked.
In the open sea, especially in the New World, mastering Haki is essential for survival. The number of people who have awakened Haoshoku Haki is countless.
But only a handful of people can master the ability to coil Haoshoku, and those who can are all proof of reaching the pinnacle.
"Indeed, I can't continue to let you run wild!"
The magma in Akainu's hand flowed, forming a huge double-handed sword.
Akainu transformed into a magma beast, crashing into Drake. The two fell together onto the G5 base.
Drake summoned his innate Spirit Armor, raising his hand to block the magma sword!
Among the three Admirals, Aokiji wielded the Ice Sword, Kizaru had the Heavenly Cloud Sword, and Akainu also had a similar technique.
Few people realize that Akainu's move surpasses those of the other two.
Because everyone almost forgot—when Akainu first showed his talent at the Marine training camp, he hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit. He relied on swordsmanship of a swordsman level, standing out among his peers.
That's why the instructor Zephyr often criticized Kizaru for being too specialized, but he never said that Akainu relied more on his Devil Fruit abilities during battles.
Now, few have seen just how powerful Akainu's swordsmanship really is. Drake truly pushed him to the limit, pulling out all his hidden skills.
Akainu lowered his magma sword, looking down at Drake, and said, "Today, none of you will escape!"
Drake stared directly into Akainu's eyes and said, "Oh? Just with you, a few Vice Admirals, and a dozen ships? You might as well wait until we're asleep before trying to take us down!"
Akainu suddenly smiled coldly and replied, "Then let's see what happens!"
