Chapter 462: The Descent of Lightning and Fire
Chinjao abruptly sensed the anomaly in the auras, his pupils shrinking violently.
That oppressive pressure—it felt as if the entire firmament was sinking, pressing heavily on everyone's hearts, making even breathing difficult.
He fiercely stomped and shattered a floor tile, his furious roar shaking the battlefield: "Quick!! Capture them quickly—we still have a sliver of a chance!!!"
That roar exploded like thunder, causing the air to violently undulate.
Cavendish and Sai reacted in almost the exact same instant!
Their figures turned into two afterimages, carrying astonishing killing intent as they lunged fiercely at Drake and the others!
"Ah—!!!"
Cavendish let out an angry shout. His blonde hair flew wildly, and his longsword "Durandal" flashed with a brutal cold light, its howling sword aura tearing through the air!
The floor tiles beneath Sai's feet instantly fractured, airwaves rolling around his soles. His legs turned as pitch-black as iron, his muscles bulging—
"Hasshoken: Twin Dragon Kick!!!"
Two dragons of pure air pressure churned out from behind him, the ground caving in as a plume of dust shot straight into the sky!
The two advanced together, their momentum like a thunderbolt, airwaves sweeping up flying rubble!
However, Drake and the others—remained completely motionless.
Kujaku lightly stroked the steel whip in her palm, Usopp calmly reloaded his bullets, and Hibari knelt behind a broken wall.
Standing at the front, Sanji maintained his usual indolent expression, not even bothering to lift his gaze.
"Tch—"
Holding a cigarette in one hand, the spark flared, the orange flame flashing briefly in the wind.
White smoke slowly rose, mixed with a faint scent of tobacco.
"Looks like there's no fight left for us~"
He muttered softly, his tone as calm as if he were stating something entirely trivial.
"What did you sa—!" Cavendish's angry reprimand had barely left his lips—
Swoosh—! Swoosh—!
Two blinding streaks of lightning tore through the air from the horizon, trailing blazing tail flames!
The tips of the lightning spears flickered with blue-white electric arcs. Their speed was so immense that even the air wailed!
"What is thi—!!?"
Cavendish reacted almost instinctively, drawing his longsword with lightning speed!
Clang—!!!
The instant metal collided with lightning, a violent electrical explosion erupted!
The blinding light swallowed his figure, the lightning detonating furiously into a sheet of flashing white.
"BOOM—!!!"
The shockwave rolled up a wave of dust. Cavendish's entire body was blasted dozens of meters away, smashing heavily into a collapsed stone wall, sending crushed stones showering down.
He fell to one knee. The "Durandal" in his hand had actually developed spiderweb-like cracks. His face was scorched black by the lightning fire, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Damn it... What was that—?!!"
Before he even had time to look up, another lightning spear followed closely behind!
"BAM—!!!"
The thunderclap exploded, the dazzling electric light illuminating the entire battlefield!
Sai didn't have time to dodge. He only felt a searing heat in his chest before a wave of agonizing pain instantly pierced through his entire body.
Looking down, blood was already flowing down the tip of the lightning spear—
That lightning spear had pinned him straight to the fractured ground, the electrical arcs rampaging through his body like venomous snakes.
"Pfft—!!!"
Sai coughed up blood, his body convulsing as his Armament Haki collapsed amidst the electrical current.
He struggled to raise his head, his eyes full of disbelief and unwillingness—
"Grand... Grandfather..."
Chinjao's world completely froze in that moment.
He stared blankly as that familiar figure was pinned right before his feet by a lightning spear, blood and electric light intertwining. The ground was scorched black, and the air was thick with the smell of burning flesh.
"Sai—!!!"
Chinjao roared furiously as he lunged forward, his voice hoarse, his eyes bulging with bloodshot rage!
His fury seemed to materialize, surging wildly from within his body. Haki and airwaves mixed together, shaking the surrounding rubble away and rolling up the dust!
"Kill them for me—!!!"
Chinjao roared, his voice detonating across the battlefield. However, no one noticed—
The sky was slowly being dyed red.
The wind suddenly stopped.
Dust hung suspended in mid-air, even the embers ceasing their dance.
The ground trembled slightly, and a low, rumbling roar echoed from afar.
"This aura...?"
Bartolomeo's smile froze on his face, cold sweat sliding down his forehead.
Ideo clenched his teeth, the electric arcs on his fists trembling uncontrollably.
In the distance, the clouds were churning.
First came the darkness, writhing like an abyss. Then, a streak of purple-blue lightning flickered from the bottom of the clouds, followed by a deep crimson light that slowly seeped from the depths of the cloud sea—
That light was not the dawn of morning, but the color of purgatory.
The moment Chinjao took a single step, the temperature of the air skyrocketed.
A searing pain surfaced on his skin, and even his breaths were thick with the smell of rust and sulfur.
"Th-This is...!!!"
The instant he looked up, his pupils shrank violently—
The sky—was burning.
At the edge of the horizon, dozens of searing red lights were plummeting rapidly, trailing boiling hot tail flames. They tore through the night sky, their hissing screeches piercing heaven and earth.
Those were not meteors.
That was—magma.
"—Ryusei Kazan (Meteor Volcano)!!!"
An angry shout echoed thunderously across the firmament!
"BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM—!!!"
The first magma meteor struck!
Blazing lava spewed out, the ground instantly exploding. Flames soared into the sky, as if a volcano had awakened right beneath their feet!
The second, the third, the fourth—
Giant fists of magma crashed down like a string of beads, meteoric fire raining from the heavens, turning the entire battlefield into hell!
The firmament burned, and rain of fire fell.
Blazing flames and magma intertwined into a crimson ocean. The members of the adventure fleets didn't even have time to react before they were instantly vaporized, swallowed, and reduced to ashes by the extreme heat!
"Ahhh—!! Help me!!!"
"Magma! It's magma—!!!"
"H-Hottt—!!!"
The agonizing screams and wails dissipated within the blazing flames, even their echoes warped and swallowed by the searing air currents.
Chinjao gritted his teeth, his fury and grief mixing into a roar!
"Damn you... Sakazuki—!!!"
He fully released his Haki, forcibly propping up a defensive aura, but that devastating extreme heat still forced him to retreat continuously.
The flames licked his skin, the smell of charred flesh permeating the air.
The ground melted into magma, and every spark flickering in the air felt like a signal of death.
BAM—!
A searing chunk of rock crashed to the ground, kicking up a wave of fire. Chinjao was forced back several steps, but he continued to stare dead ahead, his fury blazing.
"Marines! Sakazuki!! You mad—"
His words were drowned out by the roar of thunder.
"RUMBLE—!!!"
The horizon flashed explosively once again!
A massive thunderbolt tore down from the clouds, its lightning as dazzlingly bright as daylight, illuminating the entire burning earth.
Behind those churning clouds of fire, a golden silhouette slowly emerged.
The man was bare-chested, wrapped in golden light, with lightning flowing around his body. He stood upon a thundercloud, as if a god had descended from the heavens.
"That's—!!!" The adventure fleet members' voices trembled, their Adam's apples bobbing.
—"Vice Admiral God of Lightning, Enel!!!"
Following the rumbling thunder, another crimson aura rose from the horizon.
Between the lightning and the sea of fire, a man draped in a crimson coat slowly stepped out from the churning magma.
Lava flowed between his fingers, resembling a liquid hell.
His gaze was as blistering as the magma itself, and with every step he took, the ground melted beneath the extreme heat.
—"Admiral Akainu, Sakazuki!!!"
Thunder and fire.
Heaven and earth.
The judgment of justice and destruction—
In this moment, had officially descended.
