His eyes scanned the horizon.
With the Navy branches across the first half of the Grand Line relaying his position to the Navy's intelligence network, it wasn't long before a terrifying sight unfolded before him.
A multitude of warships, some hastily summoned from nearby branches, appeared on the horizon, a formidable armada bearing down upon him.
Even from a considerable distance, Ignis Glow, standing on the deserted island, could clearly make out the figures standing on the lead warship's deck.
Two colossal figures, three meters tall, exuded an aura far surpassing that of any Vice Admiral.
The red and beige suits, along with the capes signifying their rank, left no doubt about their identities:
Navy Admiral Akainu! Sakazuki!
Navy Admiral Kizaru! Borsalino!
Witnessing these two, and the overwhelming force they commanded—a force assembled to ensure the 'complete annihilation' of Ignis Glow—a chilling calm settled over him.
There was no trace of panic on his face.
Instead, he calmly uttered, "Finally."
He felt the deserted island beneath his feet, a cold glint in his eyes.
This time, he would grant the Navy its wish.
Here, on this desolate island, he would unleash the power he had so carefully held back.
The open sea, with its proximity to other islands, could not withstand the full force of Ryūjin Jakka's Shikai.
A single strike against Vice Admiral Momonga had evaporated untold amounts of seawater, the resulting vapor shrouding the ocean.
Simultaneously, as Ignis Glow spotted Akainu and Kizaru, the Navy's armada closing in, the two Admirals, who had remained silent during their approach, also spotted their target on the deserted island.
This was the 'Worst Person', the one the World Government was willing to risk everything to eliminate, even at this critical juncture.
The Navy and the World Government had deemed him 'Worst'.
This formidable display of force, standing on the side of 'justice', was about to launch an absolute extermination operation against the 'Worst'.
…
On the nameless island, now the focus of the world's attention, Ignis Glow surveyed the scene:
"…Navy Admirals."
"World Government's CP0, directly under the Celestial Dragons…"
"Plus over thirty warships… is this a Buster Call?"
The full extent of the Navy's terrifying force was laid bare before him.
As the warships approached, Akainu, his face grim, stood on the deck of a nearby warship.
Behind him, Ignis Glow spotted a contingent of 'special' forces in World Government uniforms, each wearing a mask.
A hint of disdain flickered in Ignis Glow's eyes as he calmly stated, "How ironic, everyone who should and shouldn't be here has arrived."
His voice, though quiet, carried clearly across the tense atmosphere of the deserted island.
The ordinary Navy personnel on the warships, witnessing the unyielding figure on the island, felt a tremor in their hearts.
This was truly a monster worthy of the Navy Headquarters' decision to deploy 'all possible forces' for his extermination.
Alone, he stood, the target of this immense force, yet he seemed to be actively awaiting their arrival.
His unwavering composure was a stark contrast to the fear that would grip any ordinary person facing such overwhelming odds.
If they were in his place, remaining standing, let alone calm, would be a miracle.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort cut through the air, shattering the tense silence.
"As Navy personnel, facing such an evil person, what are you hesitating for? Attack!"
The antler-masked CP0 leader, witnessing Ignis Glow openly awaiting their arrival, felt a surge of anger behind his mask.
This was merely a lone old man, a relic of a bygone era, a remnant that should have been swept away by the new age.
In this territory, controlled by the Navy and the World Government for countless years, his actions were nothing short of contempt for the Navy and the CP0 special forces.
With that, the CP0 leader issued his orders to the Navy fleet.
The Navy Admirals would lead the charge, but the World Government's CP0 held ultimate command authority.
As the antler-masked man's order echoed across the fleet, Akainu and Kizaru's expressions shifted.
The warships began to turn their black cannons towards the island.
The air crackled with anticipation; the only sound was the gentle lapping of waves against the shore—a stark contrast to the impending storm.
Ignis Glow, a lone figure against a vast, encroaching force, remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on the approaching enemy.
The battle for the fate of the world was about to begin.
The tension was palpable, a silent scream hanging in the air as the warships trained their weapons on the seemingly insignificant figure standing alone on the deserted island.
The clash of titans was imminent.
The very air vibrated with the weight of expectation, the unspoken promise of a cataclysmic confrontation.
