GURGLE!!
Akainu's Magma Fists, wreathed in the terrifying eruptive force of the Magma-Magma Fruit, a power representing one of the three great disasters of the One Piece world, boiled and churned with a horrifying sound.
His entire being was wracked with violent emotional turmoil.
He looked at the two figures standing opposite him—Kuzan and Borsalino. Akainu felt a sense of dazed disbelief.
He, Kuzan, and Borsalino had joined the Navy together...
Upon joining, all three were hailed as—Monsters—training together in Zephyr's boot camp.
Afterward, they were promoted to Marine HQ Vice Admiral in sync. With their three Devil Fruits—Magma-Magma, Glint-Glint, and Ice-Ice—which stood at the forefront even among the Disaster Logia types—they had already reserved their spots as the next generation of Marine HQ's three Admirals.
Later, all three ascended to the rank of Admiral, becoming the highest combat power of the Navy and the World Government.
Because they possessed the three most powerful Logia Devil Fruits—they were also hailed as the Strongest Generation of three Admirals in history—the Elemental Admirals.
Throughout their journey, while their philosophies of justice were different, his and Kuzan's being completely opposed, almost to the point of coming to blows—in his heart, he had always considered Kuzan and Borsalino his comrades-in-arms, his colleagues.
And now, Kuzan and Borsalino stood completely against him.
The three of them, facing each other as enemies.
Kuzan and Borsalino were now combatants under Sky Sovereign's command. No other words could describe their relationship, their situation.
Only one thing remained—
<><><><><><><><>
"KUZAN, BORSALINO, LET'S SETTLE THIS!"
Akainu, who usually loved to use his venomous tongue to break an enemy's psychological defenses, spoke no words of mockery.
Their relationship was too complicated. They were comrades, yet they were men who fought for their own ideals of justice on different paths.
Now, they were completely and utterly enemies.
"Hah..." Kuzan exhaled a plume of freezing air.
But a hand stopped him.
"Let me, Kuzan," Borsalino said, the eyes behind his sunglasses gradually turning cold, radiating a dense purple-black light.
WHOOSH!
Accompanied by a dazzling flash of light, Borsalino's figure transformed into a beam of light, shooting high into the sky.
"Yasakani no Magatama——!!!"
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
With a terrifying sound of tearing air, countless light projectiles erupted continuously from the dazzling ball of light in the sky, bombarding the charging Akainu below.
AND THEN—
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
These light projectiles began to transform, becoming horrifying laser beams.
Forming an airtight net of laser beam bombardment.
Like the famous Prince's tactics from the world of Dragon Ball.
He spared no stamina, pushing the Glint-Glint Fruit's ability to its absolute limit, evolving all the light projectiles of Yasakani no Magatama into laser beams that could destroy a warship in a single blow.
Under this dense laser bombardment, even an entire fleet would be quickly and completely annihilated!
In terms of destructive power and disaster level, the full-power Glint-Glint Fruit was in no way inferior to the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Countless laser beams descending from the sky, enough to destroy everything below!
<><><><><><><><>
"GREAT ERUPTION——!!!"
Akainu roared, his Magma Fist rapidly expanding, exploding.
Compared to the Giant Magma Fist Akainu had used during the Summit War to melt the massive block of ice thrown by Jozu, the one Akainu swung now was like a real, active volcano!
Incredibly huge!
And within it, contained the unbelievably terrifying power of a volcanic eruption!
The Magma-Magma Fruit—its single-target destructive power was unmatched among all Devil Fruits. Even the Glint-Glint Fruit's laser, which could vaporize a warship in one shot, couldn't punch through a full-power magma attack.
BUT—
WHOOSH!
With a piercing sonic boom...
A single laser cut through the atmosphere.
An elementalized right foot... kicked hard at Akainu.
Akainu could only rely on his Future Sight Observation Haki power to predict the attack, raising his Magma-formed left fist to block the horrifying light-speed kick.
In the sky, the dazzling ball of light was only now beginning to fade.
Akainu's forehead was also beaded with fine sweat, veins bulging as he looked at the person before him.
"Yata no Kagami——"
"Sakazuki... for you, ultimate destructive power is strength."
"But for me, speed is strength!"
Borsalino's body gradually de-elementalized. His right foot, having been accelerated over a super-long distance, unleashed its full power in a light-speed kick.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The terrifying force sent Akainu flying backwards.
Along the way, countless globs of magma scattered through the air.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Akainu's body slammed into the ground, splashing frightening magma everywhere.
BOOOOOOM!
The next moment, magma began to boil like a volcanic eruption, tearing through the atmosphere and relentlessly bombarding Borsalino.
"NGH!!!"
Borsalino used the properties of his Glint-Glint Fruit, countless light elements dissipating the volcanic force within Akainu's magma.
The surrounding environment was completely destroyed.
<><><><><><><><>
"As expected of a top-tier Logia Devil Fruit... what incredible power,"
Zoro and the others, with the help of Borsalino's Glint-Glint Fruit ability blocking the Five Elders, had already reached Luffy's side.
Logia Devil Fruits varied drastically in power. The top-tier ones were walking disasters. Just having the fruit alone—without any other training—could put you at Admiral-level strength.
The battle between Akainu and Borsalino at this moment fully demonstrated this point.
It seemed as if both of them were being sent flying by each other's attacks, their elements scattering everywhere, but in reality, they hadn't taken much damage.
All the attacks they had taken had been completely dissipated by their elementalization.
Just like parkour athletes on Earth, through rolling and other force-dissipating techniques—even when falling from a height that could damage a person—they could land safely.
A Logia Devil Fruit user's force-dissipating method was top-tier among all Devil Fruit users.
Because they were elements, the elements were a part of the Logia Devil Fruit user's body. As long as the force of the attack was transmitted to the elementalized surface of the body, and then these elementalized parts were allowed to splash out, a perfect force dissipation was completed.
This was the main reason why Logia users were so durable.
And for a non-top-tier Logia Devil Fruit like the Sand-Sand Fruit, even if the force was dissipated, it couldn't cause much damage.
But for top-tier Logia Devil Fruit abilities—like the current Glint-Glint Fruit and Magma-Magma Fruit—just the dissipated elements could destroy the battlefield completely.
The name 'Disaster' was well-deserved!
<><><><><><><><>
"STRAW HAT!"
And at this moment, the Five Elders also began to act, disregarding everything and charging towards Luffy.
VMM!
A horrifying gravity suddenly descended.
Once again, the unprepared Five Elders' movements paused.
THEN—
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Two streams of crimson-black lightning intertwined, striking the bodies of the Five Elders.
"FUJITORA!"
The Five Elders looked at the newcomer, their faces grim.
User of the Press-Press Fruit—the former Marine Admiral—Fujitora.
One of the two who had been promoted to Marine HQ Admiral after the World Military Draft.
The Five Elders had considered this possibility the moment Borsalino joined Sky Sovereign's forces. But actually seeing Fujitora standing there still made their faces turn ashen.
This generation of Marine HQ's three Admirals—all except Ryokugyu—had defected to Sky Sovereign, turning against the World Government!
WHAT WAS WORSE—
<><><><><><><><>
"Desert Princess, Pirate Empress."
The Five Elders' foreheads broke out in cold sweat, looking at a sandstorm transforming into a beautiful figure—and a woman wreathed in crimson-black lightning, hailed as the world's most beautiful.
One of the four main combatants closest to Sky Sovereign, Desert Princess Vivi. And the former Warlord of the Sea, Empress of Amazon Lily—the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock.
Both of them had mastered Haōshoku Coating.
Undoubtedly, both the Desert Princess and the Pirate Empress were Admiral-level combatants!
Now, the combat strength of the two sides was completely imbalanced.
With this disparity in the number of Admiral-level fighters, even with their immortal bodies, to try and kill Straw Hat while ignoring everything else was an absolutely impossible task.
THE MISSION HAD COMPLETELY FAILED!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Zoro and the others wouldn't give the Five Elders time. They swarmed up, using Haōshoku Coating to attack the Five Elders frantically.
The gap in the number of Admiral-level combatants was so great, the Five Elders were just taking a beating, with no power to fight back.
After Rowen had shown them how to temporarily break their immortality, Zoro and the others had quickly learned.
They used the power of Haōshoku Coating to directly attack the space the Five Elders had manifested, making the Five Elders scream in agony.
The five highest authorities of the World Government were in a sorry state right now.
<><><><><><><><>
The battle between Borsalino and Akainu was absolutely brutal.
Borsalino had now condensed the power of his Glint-Glint Fruit into a sword—Ama no Murakumo—fighting Akainu in close quarters.
Akainu had also pushed his Magma-Magma Fruit to its limit, his two magma fists relentlessly attacking Borsalino.
But Borsalino wasn't just trading blows head-on.
The Glint-Glint Fruit's biggest strength was speed. Borsalino used that speed advantage to constantly find openings at crucial moments—turning into light to accelerate and strike Akainu's weak spots.
Borsalino fighting for his life was on a completely different level than when he battled Luffy on Egghead in the original story.
Back then, his heart had been torn in two.
Sure, he was committed to completing the mission, but having to kill his close friend? That had seriously messed with his head.
The current Borsalino was in his true Strongest form. In a fight, he was not at a disadvantage against Akainu at all.
"It's time to end this, Sakazuki." Borsalino slowly exhaled a puff of air.
Suddenly—
VMM!
An Air Door ripped open violently.
Along with an absolutely crushing wave of Haki, Akainu and the Five Elders broke out in cold sweat, staring at the figure stepping through the Air Door.
"Imu-sama, Sky Sovereign has arrived..."
The Five Elders immediately communicated with Imu in their minds.
....
In the Room of Flowers, Imu's eyes were blood-red.
To travel between the Holy Land Mariejois and Egghead so quickly was not something that could be done with just the Paw-Paw Fruit.
It was clear that this man had added other Devil Fruit abilities. For example, the Door-Door Fruit.
Using the Paw-Paw Fruit, plus the doors continuously opened by the Door-Door Fruit—could directly compress and shrink the space between the two places.
<><><><><><><><>
"Phew! Let us send you on your final journey, Sakazuki." Kuzan exhaled a plume of extreme freezing air.
With Rowen's arrival, this war had come to a close.
The World Government had been utterly defeated. And their Sky Sovereign Grand Fleet had won a complete victory.
WHOOSH!
A wave of frost instantly erupted.
CRACK!!!
Akainu's Magma began to extinguish, his entire body was encased in ice.
