Everyone was stunned by how quickly Good healed from his injuries.
But before they could react further, Good once again roared and charged straight at Akainu.
Still the same brute-force style—he clearly intended to brawl to the bitter end.
Akainu had no choice but to suppress his shock and unleashed Dai Funka (Great Eruption) at Good once again.
Since it had worked before, there was no reason to switch moves.
But this time, as Good faced the Dai Funka (Great Eruption), his eyes gleamed—the god-tier combat instinct allowed him to adjust the angle of his punch.
He had just discovered a weakness in the technique when he took it head-on earlier.
Everyone thought he'd be swallowed again by the magma and repeat the same mistake—but something unexpected happened.
Good's punch shattered the Dai Funka (Great Eruption), sending molten magma flying in all directions.
"What?!"
Akainu couldn't believe what he saw. Just minutes ago, Good had been injured by that very same move—and now he had nullified it??
Stunned, Akainu didn't react in time and took a punch straight to the face.
It landed square on his nose, sending him flying backward.
Caught off guard, Akainu hadn't used Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) to defend, so the punch caused a nosebleed on impact.
Seeing this, Good leaned forward apologetically and asked, "Are you okay?"
Everyone was speechless again.
It's just a nosebleed—how serious could it be?
And weren't they in the middle of a sparring match? Who asks their opponent if they're okay mid-fight? What kind of brain logic is this?
But beyond the awkwardness, everyone was stunned by how Good not only countered Akainu's move but used the opportunity to land a clean hit.
"Good actually shattered Admiral Akainu's move?"
"His progress is insane…"
What they didn't know was that after getting injured by Akainu earlier, Good's attributes had surged drastically. Even his replication rate for the Magu Magu no Mi (Magma-Magma Fruit) had jumped to 29%.
On the ground, Akainu wiped the blood from his nose, glaring at his glove, stained with his own blood. His eye twitched.
He looked up and stared at Good, then silently raised his hand and launched Meigo (Dark Hound).
Magma burst out like an explosion of rage, piercing through the ceiling of the conference room and forming a massive magma hound.
The magma beast opened its gaping maw and lunged toward Good.
"Perfect!" Good roared, reacting instantly with his god-tier combat instinct. His entire body was coated in Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) as he unleashed a barrage of punches.
"Kuro kuro kuro kuro…!"
Using both fists wrapped in Haki, he struck repeatedly, trying to break through the Meigo (Dark Hound).
But Meigo (Dark Hound) was one of Akainu's strongest techniques—its offensive power was overwhelming.
Good was engulfed in the magma like a crashing wave and sent flying again.
The impact was far worse than Dai Funka (Great Eruption). This time, Good's body suffered extreme burns—despite the Haki defense, over half his body was seriously scorched, practically skinned.
Blood spewed from his mouth due to internal injuries.
Everyone watching gasped.
If the earlier injuries were a level 7 wound, this was easily level 3—or even level 2.
In the crowd, Koby and Helmeppo, who weren't used to scenes like this, turned pale and covered their eyes.
It was brutal.
Even veterans like Vice Admiral Onigumo and Mole were stunned.
"This is unexpected…"
"These are extremely serious injuries."
"Compared to this, the earlier ones were just scratches…"
The crowd showed clear signs of concern.
On the side, Admirals Kizaru and Aokiji exchanged glances after seeing Good's state.
"Yo~ you went too far," Kizaru muttered, clearly thinking Akainu had overdone it.
Even if they were both Admirals, this was just a spar—going this far might cripple Good.
Aokiji frowned. Even if Good had shown some odd self-healing earlier, this time the injuries were deeper—likely internal and possibly permanent.
But as everyone was caught up in their thoughts, Good—bloody from head to toe—burst out laughing like nothing happened.
"Awesome! That felt great!"
The crowd's expressions twisted. Was this guy nuts?
He was a walking blood fountain and still grinning?
Something was seriously wrong with his brain.
What they didn't know was that Good's attribute values were skyrocketing in his mind—strength, speed, endurance, Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki)… all increasing severalfold.
Most importantly, his replication rate of the Magu Magu no Mi (Magma-Magma Fruit) had now reached 60%.
This beating had been totally worth it.
Good didn't even think about his injuries. He simply activated his super physique to heal.
In his current peak state, he could recover from 10 fatal injuries. With energy drain during combat, that number might drop—but he could still easily heal from 5 or 6.
The horrifying wounds on his body—the kind that would leave permanent scars—began to rapidly regenerate again.
This time, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
If they were surprised earlier, now they were shocked to the core.
Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who had recommended Good as the fourth Admiral, found it hard to believe.
He can recover from this?
"Ad-Admiral Good's healing is… beyond insane…"
"I think I finally get why the Fleet Admiral values him so much…"
"This might even be better than Kaido's so-called strongest lifeform…"
Kizaru, Aokiji, Garp, Sengoku—every high-ranking Marine officer was completely stunned by Good.
Meanwhile, Good wasn't thinking about any of that. Or rather—his IQ just didn't support such complex thought.
The only thing in his brain was:
Keep fighting.
Replicate the Magma Fruit completely—and that's it.
