His pupils dilated sharply.
He discovered, to his utter horror… the incredibly hard seastone was turning red-hot, radiating intense heat.
The CP0 agent's initial reaction was sheer disbelief.
"…What in the world is going on?!"
Seastone was one of the hardest substances in the world.
"If even seastone is affected like this…"
A terrifying thought struck the CP0 agent, causing him to glance towards the nearby Navy fleet.
What he saw sent a chill down his spine.
Most of the warships' prows were already melting…!!
The cannons, previously firing shells, were also struggling to withstand the intense heat…
This entire fleet… The CP0 agent swallowed, his throat dry, despite the absence of thirst.
He stared in terror at the island.
At this rate… even without any further attacks, the Buster Call fleet would be completely destroyed!
In that instant, an unshakeable, profound fear of Ignis Glow consumed the CP0 agent.
How could such a powerful man possibly exist in this world?!
…
Meanwhile, on the island, Rumble...
The shattered island was rapidly succumbing to its fiery fate.
A fate that was now utterly inescapable!
At this moment, Ignis Glow's spiritual pressure, now a tangible, fiery aura, enveloped his entire body.
Observing Kizaru and Akainu, whose expressions mirrored his own internal turmoil, Ignis Glow turned his gaze towards the CP0 forces of the World Government on the fleet.
That single, cold glance alone filled the tall, antler-masked man with abject terror.
Then, Ignis Glow raised Ryūjin Jakka in his right hand.
Seeing this, the tall, antler-masked man trembled violently.
He couldn't help but shout: "Na-Navy!!! That monster… stop him!!!"
The man, experiencing the chilling grip of fear for the first time, abandoned all pretense of composure and dignity.
He had completely forgotten his prior arrogance and the weight of his position.
Even before Ignis Glow had swung Ryūjin Jakka!
This was the overwhelming, absolute terror that Ignis Glow instilled in every force in the Grand Line aware of this battle.
Simultaneously, the moment the antler-masked man's voice fell, Ryūjin Jakka descended!
Just as Ignis Glow had initially ignored the CP0, it was because, in his eyes, they were insignificant from the very beginning.
Mere pawns.
The air was instantly torn apart, ignited!
Flames with a temperature comparable to the sun's surface surged towards the CP0 forces on the sea!
Akainu and Kizaru's faces paled.
Those were World Government agents!
They wanted to intervene, but the fiery pillars consuming the shattered island were already converging upon them!
Just as Akainu had realized, there was simply no time to spare on protecting the lives of those who were only hindering their efforts!
Thus, the flames swept across the sky above the sea!
Instantly and mercilessly engulfing the CP0 warship, whose crew were paralyzed with fear.
Akainu and Kizaru watched in grim fascination, witnessing for the first time the horrifying consequences of coming into contact with those flames…!!
The sea, touched by Ryūjin Jakka's flames, instantly evaporated!
Revealing the chilling, desiccated seabed below!
The steam that had just begun to rise… was instantly consumed by the flames' intense heat!
As for the CP0 warship…
Ash.
Yes.
The moment the intense flames enveloped it, the entire warship, along with the CP0 agents aboard, was reduced to ash!
Scattered by the wind over the sea, which continued to evaporate relentlessly!!!
Such terrifying power…
Hhiss!
The two Admirals exchanged a look, then turned to Ignis Glow, their eyes filled with unprecedented gravity, and… a profound, unsettling sense of awe!
At that moment, Ignis Glow, wielding Ryūjin Jakka, his spiritual pressure almost tangible, a fiery aura enveloping his body, having dealt with those 'insignificant' matters, realized that the island beneath his feet would likely be reduced to ash in mere seconds, perhaps even sooner!
He looked at Akainu and Kizaru, causing both their hearts to tremble, and stated: "Now, it's time to end this battle."
As soon as those chilling words left his lips,
Rumble...! Rumble...!
The pillars of flame rising from the rapidly disintegrating island, as if imbued with life, began to converge rapidly upon Akainu and Kizaru!
Having witnessed firsthand the horrifying consequences of touching those flames, Akainu and Kizaru's faces paled with stark terror.
…
Meanwhile, in Marineford, Navy Headquarters.
the battle between Ignis Glow and the Navy Admirals in the first half of the Grand Line was destined to capture the world's attention.
After all, the Navy Headquarters had never before deployed two Admirals against a single opponent.
Especially during these sensitive times, the Navy had risked an attack from the world's strongest man, Whitebeard, to take such drastic action.
The Navy Headquarters' determination to eliminate Ignis Glow was evident.
They intended to swiftly crush him, to send a clear message to the world: to defy the Celestial Dragons is an act of utter folly.
