"This..."
Kizaru's sunglasses almost slipped off his face from high in the sky.
Is this a damn acrobatics show?!
That's a mammoth! Not a plush toy, hey!
"Roar!!!"
Hulk didn't care about anyone else's shock at all. He was having a lot of fun right now! Very happy!
He grabbed Jack's two thick tusks and performed a giant swing right on the spot! Using the centrifugal force...
He slammed him ruthlessly into the ground!
Boom!!!
The ground cracked! The mammoth's massive body slammed heavily onto the earth, smashing out a giant crater!
But it wasn't over yet! Hulk didn't let go. He let out another roar.
He swung Jack, who was already dizzy and disoriented, into the air again!
A slam to the left! Boom!
A slam to the right! Boom!
It was just like a commoner thrashing a tattered rug to beat the dust out—simple, brutal, and extremely visually impactful!
"Pfft—!"
Jack, being swung around like a flail, sprayed blood wildly from his mouth. Even with the abnormal defense of an Ancient Zoan...
He couldn't withstand this kind of inhumane devastation! He felt as if his internal organs were about to be displaced! His bones were about to fall apart!
What kind of monster is this, damn it! Why is it that I, a dignified Great Pirate with a billion-berry bounty, am like a helpless infant in his hands?!
"So scary... really scary..."
Kizaru, in mid-air, watched the brutal scene below. He felt like his own teeth were aching just watching it.
He was now absolutely certain of one thing: he absolutely could not engage in close-quarters combat with this green monster! The power scaling of this thing was completely unreasonable!
"It seems... I can only use that move."
Kizaru took a deep breath, putting away his slacker mindset. If he didn't stop this rampaging monster, he was afraid that before long, this entire sea area would be demolished!
When that happened, Fleet Admiral Sengoku would definitely dock his pay again.
Kizaru slowly spread his arms. His thumbs and index fingers met to form a circle. Endless golden light gathered frantically at his fingertips.
It was like a small golden sun rising slowly above the ruins! The blinding light illuminated the entire island as if it were broad daylight! A terrifying energy surge that made one's heart tremble instantly locked onto Hulk below!
"Yasakani... no Magatama!!!"
Shoom shoom shoom shoom shoom—!
In the next second, countless dazzling light bullets, like a torrential rain of laser fire, carrying an aura of total destruction, poured down toward the green figure below!
This was a baptism of light! It was also a Marine Admiral's highest respect for this unknown monster!
The sky seemed to split open. Countless dazzling light bullets, like divine punishment, covered the sky and the earth. Densely packed, they left absolutely no blind spots!
This wasn't just an attack. This was a barrage at the speed of light!
In mid-air, Kizaru maintained his hand seal. That puckered, middle-aged face was now filled with indifference.
As a Marine Admiral, although he usually liked to slack off and kept saying "so scary," once he got serious, he was one of the top monsters on this sea!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The first wave of light bullets slammed hard into the ground! The deafening explosions instantly merged into one! Every light bullet that hit the ground blasted out a crater several meters in diameter!
Rocks shattered! Trees vaporized! Soil churned! The already scarred ruins were now being frantically ravaged as if by countless invisible giant hands!
"Roar!!!"
Hulk, at the center of the explosions, let out a furious roar! He had no intention of dodging at all!
Or rather, under this light-speed rain of bullets, there was nowhere to hide!
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Countless light bullets slammed hard into his massive body! The high temperature instantly burned through his green skin, exploded his hard muscles, and even exposed his bones to the air!
Blood splattered! Flesh flew! In just an instant, Hulk was blasted into a bloody mess, looking incredibly wretched!
"Aaahhh!!!"
"Help!!!"
"Run! This is an indiscriminate attack!!!"
The pirate lackeys on the periphery had completely broken down by now. Although Kizaru's target was primarily Hulk, the coverage area of the Yasakani no Magatama was simply too large!
Even the shockwaves splashing out from the edges were enough to take their lives. One by one, they cried out for their parents, wishing they had two more legs as they ran desperately toward the seaside.
And at the very center of the battlefield, that unlucky "meat shield"—Jack the Drought—was in an even more unbearable state!
"Damn you... Kizaru!!!"
Jack, in his mammoth form, had already been slammed dizzy by Hulk. Before he could even crawl back up, he was drowned by the sky full of light bullets!
Boom boom boom!
Clouds of blood mist instantly erupted from his giant elephant body! Although Ancient Zoans were thick-skinned and durable, under this density of bombardment, even someone made of iron wouldn't be able to hold on!
Jack let out a roar of pain. His massive body rolled in the sea of fire, trying to find a piece of cover.
But unfortunately, in the face of this destructive rain of light, no cover could possibly survive!
"Roar—!!!"
Right then, a roar even louder than the explosions suddenly pierced through the sea of fire! That green monster, who had been blasted beyond recognition, actually braved the sky full of light bullets and stood up straight!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!
The scalp-numbing sound of wriggling flesh rose again! Under Kizaru's unbelievable gaze, the horrific wounds on Hulk's body were actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Charred skin fell off, growing new green skin! Blasted muscles reconnected, becoming even thicker! Even broken bones were snapping back into place with crisp "crack-crack" sounds!
What kind of terrifying vitality was this?! What kind of abnormal self-healing speed was this?!
One second he was bleeding, and the next second it had already scabbed over! And the second after that, even the scars had disappeared!
This was Hulk! This was the power of rage! As long as the fire of rage did not extinguish, his life would not end!
"Hurts... Hulk... HURTS A LOT!!!"
Hulk raised his head. His newly healed face was full of hideousness. He stared fixedly at Kizaru in the sky, the green light in his eyes almost turning into a physical substance!
This kind of pain didn't make him shrink back. Instead, it completely ignited the dormant volcano inside his body!
Thump!
Hulk stomped his foot hard! The ground beneath him, already blasted brittle, instantly collapsed! He actually pushed against the impact of the light bullets, attempting to jump!
He wanted to drag that glowing little gold man down!
"Still haven't given up?"
Kizaru frowned. His fingers moved slightly. The originally scattered light bullets instantly concentrated! Like countless laser beams, they merged into a waterfall of light, washing ruthlessly over Hulk's body!
Boom rumble rumble!!!
The massive kinetic energy forced Hulk, who was about to jump, right back down, pinning him firmly to the ground! It was like trying to wash away a stubborn stain.
"Since you're so tough... then this old man will just blow this whole foundation away!"
A cold light flashed in Kizaru's eyes. The output power was instantly maxed out! The number of light bullets doubled again!
The entire Calebari Island trembled under this terrifying firepower! It wailed!
Crack! Crack!
Giant cracks began to spread across the ground, radiating from the center to the surroundings like a biscuit about to break!
The originally solid rock layer, under the dual devastation of high temperature and explosions, quickly disintegrated and melted! Seawater poured in along the cracks, emitting hissing white smoke!
"No... please, no!"
"The island is sinking!!!"
"Help! I don't want to die!!!"
The pirates who ran to the seaside discovered in despair that the land beneath their feet was separating! It was sinking!
This originally prosperous small island was now being literally wiped off the map!
Boom!!!
Finally, with an earth-shattering roar, the central area of the island completely failed to withstand this destructive power. It collapsed violently!
Countless rubble mixed with soil fell into the deep sea, stirring up giant waves a hundred meters high! The land that was once a single piece had now turned into countless pieces of rubble floating on the sea.
This was the destructive power of a Marine Admiral. One person was a natural disaster.
