"...No, it can't be! This guy actually took down an Admiral in one go?!"
"He's a monster! The newly promoted Warlord is simply a monster!"
"Death God Ye Jia... that name will soon spread throughout the world!"
"The Marines aren't going to be finished just like that, are they?"
At the same time, through the broadcast, people all over the world witnessed this shocking scene.
An Admiral, known as one of the Marine Headquarters' highest combat powers, was sent flying by Death God Ye Jia's palm strike, suffering heavy injuries!
Many people immediately panicked.
To the people of the world, they always stood with the Marines, holding an attitude that pirates, represented by Death God Ye Jia, must be annihilated!
But the truth filled the people of the world with immense fear.
Even an Admiral was dealt with so easily; was there anyone in the world who could stop this Death God Ye Jia?
If one day even the Marines couldn't defeat pirates, then who in the world could stand against him?
"Akainu... he couldn't even withstand one attack... just how strong is this guy?!"
Sengoku the Buddha's face turned extremely ugly.
He knew Ye Jia was strong, but he had never known Ye Jia was powerful to such an extent... that was Akainu!
Akainu's strength, even he might not be confident of victory against... yet he was heavily injured by Death God Ye Jia with a single blow!
Although this scene confirmed Sengoku the Buddha's worries were correct, and his judgment of Ye Jia was incredibly accurate... this was indeed a person who could overturn the entire war.
However, he couldn't command or stop Ye Jia's actions!
Hearing the pirates' surprised voices, Ye Jia curled his lips, ignoring them completely, and continued to walk forward.
"This is really troublesome... I know you're very strong, but for the dignity of the Marines, I still have to step in and stop you... Death God Ye Jia, just for my sake, don't go too hard!"
As soon as Ye Jia took a step, Kizaru's figure instantly appeared beside him.
His lightning-yellow leg was already raised, Armament Haki was ready, and Kizaru had even activated his awakened ability, just to stop Ye Jia.
"Alright, no problem!"
Ye Jia smiled faintly, then his figure flashed, appearing in front of Kizaru. A golden foot, infused with Grade 2 Haki and empowered by the awakened Glint-Glint Fruit ability, fiercely imprinted itself on Kizaru's face!
A yellow beam of light streaked straight across the sky, and another loud "rumble" echoed from the mountain wall of Marine Headquarters.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Kizaru coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, and three large shoe prints appeared on his face.
"You're really giving me face..."
Kizaru wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealing a helpless bitter smile.
He knew very well that though both had taken a frontal blow, Akainu was severely injured, while he only coughed up some blood. The difference in treatment immediately showed their disparity.
If Ye Jia hadn't held back at all, it probably wouldn't have been as simple as coughing up blood.
"No way, even Admiral Borsalino was..."
"That's one of the Three Admirals!"
"Two Admirals couldn't even withstand a single move from Death God Ye Jia... it's terrifying! He's a monster!"
The Marines were terrified.
Even the Vice Admirals looked at Ye Jia with fear, their expressions becoming extremely tense, cold sweat pouring down.
Akainu, Kizaru.
The two Admirals attacked almost one after another, yet they couldn't even touch a corner of his clothes before being sent flying!
And judging by the condition of the two Admirals, they were clearly quite injured... unheard of, unseen!
Crackling...
Suddenly, everyone's expressions froze.
"Hmph..."
Aokiji exhaled a puff of white air, looking at Ye Jia, who was gradually being engulfed by his freezing ability, about to be turned into an ice person. He said calmly, "Although I don't want to be your enemy, I have my own beliefs and justice to uphold. Between you and me, this battle is unavoidable."
"Aokiji, I truly admire you... because your justice aligns perfectly with mine."
"There is no absolute good in the world, nor absolute evil. Both good and evil have two sides. The distinction between so-called good and bad people needs to be determined by individuals... not like Akainu, sweeping everyone with one stick!"
"However, no matter how much I agree with your beliefs, I will win this war today!"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, golden flames erupted from Ye Jia's body, which was in his Golden Ape form.
"That's not..."
Ace on the execution platform had been watching the battle, and when he saw the ability Ye Jia used, he was shocked.
Not only Ace, but all the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Are you kidding me? Isn't that Ace's Flare-Flare Fruit ability? How did it get to Death God Ye Jia??"
"It's definitely Ace's ability! I've fought alongside Ace so many times, how could I not recognize it!"
"Ace is still here, how can there be a second Flare-Flare Fruit in the world?! This is impossible!"
"You idiots, haven't you figured it out yet?"
Marco said this, his face extremely grim. "That guy just used Sengoku the Buddha's ability, and Kizaru's ability. It's not strange at all for Ace's ability to appear now!"
"This guy is most likely a copycat ability user, or an imitation ability user... he can use anyone's abilities!"
At these words, everyone suddenly understood.
But at the same time, fear arose in their hearts.
To be able to use anyone's abilities... this Devil Fruit ability was simply too terrifying, wasn't it? It's even more powerful than old man's Tremor-Tremor Fruit!
While the Whitebeard Pirates were astonished, Ye Jia had already used the power of the Flare-Flare Fruit, directly melting away all the ice on his body.
Swish!
Suddenly, Ye Jia's figure vanished. When he reappeared, he was behind Aokiji!
[Flame Commandment: Great Flame Pillar]
A pillar of fire erupted from beneath Ye Jia's feet, engulfing both him and Aokiji!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
It was as if the ground was furiously spewing fire, roasting the two of them.
Even from a distance, the surging heat waves could still be felt repeatedly!
