"They actually managed to use flames to burn Sakazuki's magma fist to ashes?"
"Junior."
"You're really scary!"
Borsalino watched as the fiery giant hand dissipated, leaving behind a trail of magma ash falling from the sky, his eyes behind his glasses filled with profound shock.
He and Sakazuki grew up together; they were from the same hometown and were also the first students in the Zephyr class.
Whether in the Marine Academy or after graduating and joining the Marines, the two had clashed quite a few times.
That's why.
He was well aware of the Magma-Magma Fruit's offensive power.
The power that has always been called fire is completely useless in the face of Sakazuki's magma.
But what about now?
Rosen's Ryūjin Jakka, like a fire, caused a shift in the balance of power between the flames and the magma.
This time.
Instead of the magma extinguishing the flames as Borsalino knew it, flames burned the magma to ashes like never before.
"What exactly is going on?"
If Borsalino, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was so shocked, then Sakazuki must have been even more astonished.
He lost his composure upon witnessing the magma fist being burned to ashes.
"In the past, both Professor Zephyr and Senior Borsalino have asked me this question: among the many Zanpakutō I have created, which one is the strongest?"
"I've never really known how to answer that question, because I've created just too many Zanpakutō, and each series has its own strongest Zanpakutō."
"For example, among ice and snow types, ice and snow types are the strongest, and among direct attack types, direct attack types are also the strongest."
In response to Sakazuki's question, Rosen glanced at the Ryūjin Jakka in his hand:
"If I had to choose the strongest Zanpakutō, even as an Arms-Arms Fruit user, I really couldn't answer that."
"However, if you're asking which Zanpakutō has the strongest attack power, then I can answer that question."
"That is the strongest Zanpakutō of the fire element."
"Ryūjin Jakka."
Rosen said, emphasizing each word.
"Ryūjin Jakka?"
Sakazuki stared intently at the Ryūjin Jakka in Rosen's hand, a blade capable of burning magma to ashes.
"What I just said might have been a bit general and vague, which might make it difficult for you to understand, and you might lack a clear understanding."
"So."
"Let me put it another way."
Rosen raised his left hand, extended one index finger, and pointed it towards the sky above the island.
Both Sakazuki and Borsalino couldn't help but look in the direction Rosen was pointing.
As you ascend, the first thing that comes into view is the vast expanse of blue sky and white clouds, followed by the sun embedded in the sky.
And what Rosen was pointing to was none other than the sun.
"How is that possible?"
Sakazuki's face changed instantly when his gaze fixed on the sun hanging in the sky.
"Could it be?"
Borsalino looked at the sun at the top of the dome, his pupils suddenly contracting. He and Sakazuki were thinking of the same thing.
"Vegapunk".
"He has done a lot of research and conducted a lot of experiments."
"One of them is measuring the temperature of the sun."
At this moment.
Borsalino remembered something, an experiment that Vegapunk had once conducted.
Measuring the temperature of the sun.
The final data was truly alarming.
The temperature on the surface of the sun alone is as high as 6,000 degrees Celsius.
If what I'm thinking of is exactly the ability of Ryūjin Jakka in Rosen's hands, then that means...
That's exactly right.
"Release flames with temperatures comparable to the surface of the sun and manipulate them."
"That's the power of Ryūjin Jakka."
Rosen read Borsalino's thoughts and sensed Sakazuki's intentions, then turned their guesses into reality in one gulp.
"A flame comparable to the surface temperature of the sun?"
Sakazuki was deeply shocked upon hearing this.
Although he had already guessed that Ryūjin Jakka possessed the ability, he still couldn't help but be moved when Rosen admitted it to him in person.
Not only him, but even Borsalino, who was watching from a distance, was filled with shock and turmoil.
What does it mean to have a temperature comparable to the surface of the sun?
Six thousand degrees!
Even if Sakazuki developed the magma fruit to its fullest potential and created magma with temperatures far exceeding those of natural magma, it still wouldn't reach the surface of the sun.
To talk about temperature without considering the amount of fire is to be dishonest.
If Rosen's Ryūjin Jakka can only produce a flame equivalent to the size of a candle, then it wouldn't matter if it were 6000 degrees, 60000 degrees, or even 600,000 degrees.
But the truth is that Rosen just casually swung Ryūjin Jakka, and the flames he released were so large that they could instantly encompass dozens of magma fists with the size of a giant eruption.
The raging flames, combined with the temperature of the sun's surface.
Only when the two combine can the fire and magma undergo a transformation of offense and defense.
This is why Ryūjin Jakka can burn magma, which possesses the highest peak attack power of the three types of Devil Fruits, to ashes.
"Yes."
Rosen raised Ryūjin Jakka, pointing it at Sakazuki from afar:
"Since I developed Ryūjin Jakka, you are the first person to see this sword in person."
"so."
"Feel it, the strongest power of the fire element."
As soon as he finished speaking...
Rosen, wielding a knife in one hand and stepping on the Geppo, flashed to Sakazuki's side like a gentle breeze.
at the same time.
The Ryūjin Jakka in his hand unleashed a surging, blazing flame, as if dragging a blade-shaped sun, and slashed straight at Sakazuki.
Anyone else, upon learning of Ryūjin Jakka's abilities, would never choose to confront him head-on, but Sakazuki is an exception.
No matter who his opponent was, even if it was the Tremor-Tremor Fruit of the world's strongest man, he never backed down and only fought head-on.
at this time.
Faced with bursting flames and the swift blades that slashed through the air, Sakazuki still chose not to dodge or evade.
He clenched his fist, and his right arm shot out like an arrow.
"Inugami Guren!"
Sakazuki stomped his right foot on the ground, and his lava-like arm instantly transformed into a ferocious dog head, like a powerful lava hound leaping out of a magma hell, opening its blood-red maw and biting into the blade of Ryūjin Jakka.
Bang
Knife and fist.
Explosive flames and magma.
The moment their forces collided, an incredibly hot and violent impact exploded, first shattering the ground into countless cracks and spiderweb-like fissures, and then sending up large amounts of white mist.
soil.
Rock strata.
trees.
Everything around could not withstand the heat of the flames and magma and began to melt, turning into a sea of red-glowing lava.
hiss
As the blade and fist collided, Sakazuki unleashed the Inugami Guren, creating a giant magma hound whose head emitted large amounts of flames and white mist before being burned away one by one, turning into ashes.
"snort!"
Sakazuki let out a muffled groan.
Ever since he ate the Magma-Magma Fruit, he had no idea what heat or scalding meant. But now, after exchanging blows with Rosen, he felt the long-lost heat and experienced what it meant to be scalding hot.
Fortunately, he is a Magma-Magma Fruit user, which gives him a strong resistance to fire and high temperatures.
Anyone else who dared to touch Ryūjin Jakka with their bare hands would be reduced to ashes in a single encounter.
Sakazuki, though not injured, was not feeling well either.
Bang
After a brief standoff and conflict, he withdrew his fist and retreated.
Ryūjin Jakka could certainly burn out Dai Funka in one go, but if the stalemate continued, not only would Lava Hound be burned to ashes, but even Sakazuki's arm would be charred.
snap
at the same time.
Rosen swayed slightly in place, and after exchanging blows with Inugami Guren, he was also forced to take a few steps back.
The high temperature of magma is indeed insignificant in the face of Ryūjin Jakka, and even the magma itself will soon be burned away. However, the strongest attack power of the Magma-Magma Fruit has never been the temperature of the magma, but the power of the volcanic eruption.
The sight of the Inugami Guren reminded him of the three-headed hellhound from mythology biting his blade and forcefully ramming into him.
Lava can be reduced to ashes with a single stroke.
However, the impact of a volcanic eruption cannot burn it out.
This force, after colliding with the blade of Ryūjin Jakka, was transmitted to Rosen, even managing to knock him and his sword back two or three steps.
