Chapter 144: Absolute Justice, Attack Regardless of Friend or Foe
Hot, fiery lava churned.
Sizzle...
The surrounding temperature rose rapidly. A burst of flames rushed to the sky, piercing the clouds and illuminating the entire forest in a red glow.
Admiral Akainu's outbreak instantly ignited the emotions of the Pirate World.
"Admiral Akainu can't bear it anymore! He's finally making a move."
"Burn these bastards!"
"Burn the whole forest and see how they hide!"
At this moment, a comment flashed across the screen.
(Kaido: Marine Admiral Akainu wants to kill even his own people? As expected of an incomparably righteous Marine!)
Kaido's comment stunned everyone.
Yes. This technique had a massive range. Wouldn't the Marines in the forest be affected? True, some ninjas would be killed, but killing one's own companions along with them... it was hard to accept.
But Akainu chose to do so without hesitation.
Chirp!
Fists of lava fell from the sky, accompanied by terrifying roars. The area covered by Meteor Volcano encompassed almost half the forest.
"Admiral Akainu! I don't care about my companions... this kind of behavior..."
People began to waver. However, some defended him.
"It doesn't matter. They won't really die, just get eliminated."
"This is a World War; winning is enough!"
Just win? To win, you can do whatever you can, even kill your own people?
The pirates scoffed at Akainu's behavior. Such a person was no different from them—perhaps even worse. And this man was a Marine Admiral.
Whitebeard sneered. "As expected of a Marine Admiral. Decisive in killing. Instead of being timid about accidental injury, he kills everyone in the way." He glanced at Yuichi. "That Akainu kid's justice really impresses me!"
Yuichi seemed not to hear him at all.
Whitebeard smiled awkwardly and stopped talking. He assumed Yuichi would hate the Admirals after destroying Marineford, but Yuichi showed no emotion. Whether he held a grudge or not, his composure was impressive.
As expected of a boy with Conqueror's Haki.
On the screen, the sky full of meteors descended.
Boom!!
Flames exploded, soaring to the sky and incinerating a corner of the forest. Then the second, and the third.
The camera zoomed in. The ones fleeing wildly under the flames were not ninjas, but Marines.
Some who had no time to dodge were hit by the lava. Flames covered their bodies instantly, burning them to a crisp. No bones remained.
"Admiral Akainu... what the hell are you doing... why use such a large-scale attack!?"
A Marine General who narrowly escaped the initial blow looked at the surrounding fire in despair. Although he survived the impact, he was trapped. In the end, it was a dead end.
Akainu's Meteor Volcano didn't seem to kill many ninjas, but the Marines took heavy casualties.
The people of the Pirate World were speechless. In order to deal with the enemy, in order to win, Akainu ignored the lives of his companions. If this led to victory, perhaps it could be justified. But right now, the effect wasn't ideal at all.
At Naval Headquarters, Aokiji, who did not participate in the war, watched with a face as gloomy as millennial ice. The cold air he released involuntarily was intense.
He looked at the Marines dying tragically at Akainu's hands. Even if they weren't truly dead, this choice went against Aokiji's moral compass. But Akainu's justice was Absolute Justice—uncompromising and ruthless.
"Hey..."
Aokiji sighed, looking out at the sea. "Yuichi... what are you doing now?"
Hum!!
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the light curtain.
The picture changed. It showed an open space on the other side of the forest, unaffected by the fire.
Amazing chakra fluctuations were erupting. A violent chakra storm swept away, rattling the surrounding trees. The wind whistled.
From the center of the storm, an extremely amazing power vortex formed.
Red.
Dark red.
Huge, dark red spherical energy bodies were expanding. Three red figures, looking as if they were bathed in blood, appeared.
"This is..."
The scene looked familiar. Everyone recalled a previous broadcast where a monster from the Ninja World unleashed a terrifying attack.
Tailed Beast Bomb!
This time, there wasn't just one. There were three.
Three violent air rings burst open as the Tailed Beast Bombs were fired by the Jinchūriki simultaneously!

Chapter 145: The Tailed Beast Bomb Detonates, The Outcome Is Decided
The Tailed Beast Bombs launched instantly, easily crushing the giant trees in their path.
Terrifying roars and dazzling light exploded. Strong energy fluctuations spread, causing violent turmoil in the forest. Civilians in both worlds stared wide-eyed at the bright light, afraid to blink.
The three bombs flew toward the direction where the Marine survivors had gathered. The targeting was terrifyingly accurate.
"The other party seems to have completely grasped the position of the Marine personnel!"
"The three attacks were all launched towards the place where the most people gathered!"
"How? They are still far away!"
While people were amazed, the three Tailed Beast Bombs detonated.
Boom! Buzz!!
Three huge pillars of flame rushed into the sky. The shockwaves collided, creating turbulent currents that tore the forest apart. Countless trees and fallen leaves were disintegrated in the wind. Three mushroom clouds rose slowly.
On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard was amazed. "Those ninjas! Even though no one has seen them, they seem to know the location of the Marines well! Such ability is really terrifying!"
Yuichi spoke up. "Is it scary? It's impossible for everyone to have this kind of ability. The effect is probably similar to Observation Haki. The opponent obviously has a ninja who specializes in sensory techniques."
"But they not only perceive the location, they seem to communicate perfectly. What ability is that?" Marco asked, his face heavy.
"It's simple," Yuichi said. "They have the ability to communicate with their companions remotely. Similar to a Den Den Mushi."
"If it's just like a phone bug, then it's nothing special," Whitebeard mused.
It sounded simple when Yuichi explained it, but the combination of wide-range sensing and instant communication had led to a crushing defeat for the Marines.
"If it were you playing instead, what would you do?" Whitebeard asked, squinting at Yuichi.
Yuichi froze for a moment. "Me? It's easy. I would stand up and command the battle."
"You can't command it either! Do you have the ability to communicate remotely?" Marco asked.
"I don't," Yuichi replied flatly. "But didn't the enemy already know where we are?"
Marco froze.
Indeed. The enemy already knew the Marines' location. Since stealth was impossible, there was nothing wrong with commanding openly.
"Then why don't they do that?" Marco looked at Akainu, Kizaru, and the others on the screen.
"Hmph! Because they're stupid!"
The answer left Marco speechless.
None of the Marine leaders stood up to command. Akainu didn't value the Vice Admirals. Kizaru was too lazy. Tokikake and Gion were focused on hunting or hiding. And the CP0 agent had no intention of showing himself.
The roar of the explosions gradually dissipated. Under the bombardment, most of the forest was destroyed.
The shockwave hit an invisible wall at the edge of the arena, causing it to ripple.
The battlefield has a boundary.
The screen flashed to a top-down view. The red dots of the Ninja World were numerous. On the other side, there were less than ten blue Marine dots left.
Apart from the Admirals and CP0, only a few wounded Vice Admirals survived.
The ninjas gathered and moved toward the Admirals.
The screen flickered, showing the lineup: Tsunade, the three Jinchūriki, Kakashi, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, and Ao.
With an absolute advantage in numbers and full combat power, against a fractured Marine force...
Yuichi sneered. "It seems that the privilege of crossing time was obtained by the other world!"
He sounded almost happy. Whitebeard noticed it. Was Yuichi happy to see the Marines lose? Or was it something else?
Suddenly, Yuichi got up to leave.
"Stop watching?" Whitebeard asked.
Yuichi glanced at the light curtain. Kakashi, Tsunade, and three Jinchūriki against Kizaru, Akainu, and a few others. The outcome was clear.
"No! I already know the outcome of the battle. I'm not interested in wasting time!"
Whitebeard's eyes lit up as Yuichi turned away.
"Are you not even interested in seeing the enemy's abilities?"
