"Admiral Akainu, we haven't found any suspicious traces along the way." Onigumo walked up quickly from the rear of the deck and said with a slightly hesitant tone.
"This time, could it be that Fleet Admiral Sengoku has inferred incorrectly? This is, after all, the Red Line, and even more so Mary Geoise, the Holy Land. No matter how crazy Escanor is, he should have some measure, right?"
"I don't believe that he really dares to run to Mary Geoise, the Holy Land, on the Red Line to run wild..."
The slightly doubtful words echoed on the deck.
However, before Onigumo could finish speaking, the navy soldier guarding the mast lookout took the lead and roared out of control.
"Ad...Admiral Akainu, something bad has happened. Above the mouth of the sea at Mary Geoise, the Holy Land, a sun is falling!"
A sun is falling?
Akainu's expression froze.
No!
It should be said that even Onigumo's face changed.
A moment ago, he had claimed that there was no possibility that Escanor would dare to attack Mary Geoise, the Holy Land.
Now, turning his head back, he discovered that the other party had already been smashing the place.
This slap in the face was a bit too fast.
"Damn Kizaru, what exactly is he doing? I'm going to take a look!"
Akainu's face sank, and with magma rolling under his feet, his entire body soared into the sky like a cannonball.
However, just as he rushed out seven or eight meters high, what he first saw was the firelight that soared into the sky, and the waves that were dozens of meters high that were rolling towards him with a crushing posture.
The scorching wind wave made Akainu retreat seven or eight meters in mid-air in an instant.
When he reacted, everything within his sight was occupied by firelight.
He didn't discover that there was a huge fireball thousands of meters high in the sky, quickly fleeing in the opposite direction.
He didn't know how much time had passed.
A hellhound with rolling hot magma directly blasted through the last big wave that was attacking.
Akainu, whose body was bathed in magma, with a stern sound of breaking through the air, with the help of Moon Step, took the lead and rushed to the mouth of the sea at Mary Geoise, the Holy Land.
However, Mary Geoise Port, which was originally the most luxurious port in the entire Grand Line, was now reduced to ruins.
The shattered rocky ground, and the earth that was scorched red for thousands of miles.
Looking around, it was a mess. There were no so-called buildings or sculptures.
The trees and rocks, and everything else, had seemed to disappear without a trace in the attack just now.
In particular, that slash that was like being torn apart by claws quickly spread to the huge castle walls a few miles away.
The shattered bronze walls and iron walls, the large areas of palaces and courtyards that had been pulverized, and the roaring flames, and the cries of panic and fear.
At this moment, the feeling that Akainu had was like the end of the world.
As a navy admiral, when had he ever thought that this absurd situation would happen in Mary Geoise, the Holy Land.
Looking at Fisher Tiger liberating the slaves was just a small fight.
It could be said that, in Akainu's eyes this time, Escanor had simply turned the entire sea upside down.
"Akainu, you've finally arrived!" Kizaru's voice suddenly rang out.
Soon he saw the endless spots of light gathering at Akainu's side, revealing Kizaru, who looked slightly disheveled.
However, Kizaru, who had always liked to be a soy sauce king, had a bit of a bitter expression, and looked at Akainu, explaining helplessly, "You can't blame me. This time, I didn't just make soy sauce."
"It's just that Escanor's strength was different from the intelligence. At dusk, his Solar Fruit ability still exerted its full power."
"A monster who has developed a Devil Fruit ability to the extreme, and whose physical skills have reached the level of secret techniques, I really don't know where he came from. Compared to that Skull Demon, he's completely not to be outdone."
"Hmph!" Akainu snorted coldly, saying, "Kizaru, you should know very well that not only will you be punished this time, but I'm no exception either."
"Now, tell me, what is Escanor's situation? Is he injured, or even seriously injured? If so, launching a pursuit by the entire Navy Headquarters next might be effective."
Faced with the situation that had already become a foregone conclusion, Akainu was a little glad in his heart.
The last few times he had personally led the team, but he had repeatedly failed at the hands of the Skull Demon, and had suffered a lot.
Now that this matter had fallen on Kizaru, the psychological pressure wasn't so great.
However, when Akainu saw Kizaru's hesitant expression, his face couldn't help but stiffen, saying, "Kizaru, don't tell me that Escanor only suffered minor injuries..."
While saying this, Akainu stared straight at the change in Kizaru's expression.
The moment he shook his head, his heart shook violently, and he couldn't help but ask urgently, "Kizaru, you're not going to tell me that Escanor retreated unscathed, are you?"
The urgent words were a little trembling at this moment.
It could be said that, faced with this ruined Mary Geoise in front of him, even if Akainu used his toes to think, he had never expected that the situation would evolve to this situation.
"I only exchanged a few moves with him, but after he created the second sun, his strength obviously soared several times. Even I had a feeling that it was difficult to resist. There were also a few Celestial Dragon trash who were hindering me, and when I came back to my senses, everything was beyond repair. That guy also escaped!" Kizaru no longer had his usual composure.
The bitterness on his face almost made his facial expressions shrink together.
Akainu's face turned ashen at once. As a contemporary, he knew Kizaru's nature very well.
He hesitated slightly and said, "Kizaru, since that guy has retreated unscathed, there's not much chance that we can pursue him now."
"What we need to consider now is how to explain it to Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the Five Elders..."
"Akainu, are you saying explain it to us?"
A sudden old voice rang out.
Akainu and Kizaru's faces couldn't help but change.
Hurriedly following the sound, what first caught his eyes was the monk wearing a kimono, holding the Shodai Kitetsu, one of the Five Elders.
However, his face, which was already gloomy, was completely gloomy at this moment.
"Monk, you Five Elders were originally in Mary Geoise, the Holy Land, why didn't you take action to support in time? If you had helped, Kizaru would definitely not have been caught off guard!" Akainu's face changed and he shouted first.
Faced with the failure at hand, and even Mary Geoise, the Holy Land, had been affected by the battle, almost completely destroyed.
Then the only way in front of Akainu was to accuse the other party first.
"Good, very good, Akainu, I didn't expect you to understand Sengoku's set of tricks!" The monk's expression sank and he shouted coldly.
"This time, the mission was your responsibility to execute. Not only did you let that arrogant madman rescue the Devil Child, but you also destroyed Mary Geoise, the Holy Land. This time, shouldn't you pay a price!"
