"Sakazuki Admiral!"
Countless Marine soldiers shouted in alarm.
Lucifer didn't understand what they were worried about.
A group of weaklings who couldn't protect themselves—why would they worry about a Marine Admiral?
No matter how you look at it, it was a bit funny.
Akainu is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, so naturally, he wouldn't be harmed by his own attacks.
But the other Marines on the battlefield weren't so lucky.
A wave of volcanic explosions killed hundreds of Marine soldiers, leaving no remains behind.
Just as Akainu did when he arrived on the battlefield, Lucifer now returned the favor.
Lucifer is highly vengeful and always strikes back!
"Little ones, give me aldehyde!"
"Don't let a single Marine escape today!"
Lucifer's order echoed across the battlefield.
"Roar!!!!"
Countless pirates obeyed the order and charged aggressively at the Marines.
Now that the Marine reinforcements hadn't arrived yet, the pirates' strength far surpassed that of the Marines in terms of numbers and combat power, making the battle one-sided.
"A la la la, this is getting a bit troublesome."
"Zero One Zero Three" "Polusalino, how far are the reinforcements?"
Aokiji appeared next to Kizaru and asked anxiously.
"I don't know. After all, the ice continent you created is so large that warships can't pass through it."
Seeing the Ice Continent, Aokiji's first reaction was to blame himself.
This situation was clearly a trap set for Marine Headquarters.
Kizaru looked at Aokiji teasingly, the meaning in his eyes was clear: I didn't expect you to be such a fool.
Kizaru claims to be a lazy guy, but he never deceives his own people.
Aokiji's actions made Kizaru admire him despite himself.
"Hey, don't blame me for this, don't look at me like that."
Aokiji didn't want to be blamed.
"Don't forget, that man can do this kind of thing too."
Aokiji looked toward Lucifer in the distance, secretly shocked.
He had heard that Lucifer could use ice powers, but now it seemed that Lucifer's ice powers were on par with his own.
Each of the three Admiral abilities that Lucifer wielded rivaled theirs.
When considering all the factors, Lucifer was undoubtedly the strongest enemy they had ever encountered. There was no comparison to anyone else!
"Okay, you two stop talking nonsense."
"Eradicating the enemy is the most important thing!"
Akainu stepped out of the flames, his face ferocious, surrounded by a murderous aura.
He didn't like Aokiji or Kizaru.
One was lazy, the other was a salty fish; neither exhibited the demeanor of a Marine Admiral.
In Akainu's eyes, eliminating all evil and completely eradicating future threats is what a Marine Admiral should do.
Neither Aokiji nor Kizaru embodied that ideal.
After saying this, Akainu rushed directly into the battlefield, killed a group of pirates, and charged toward Lucifer.
"Capture the thief first, capture the king."
Lucifer was undoubtedly the mastermind behind this war.
As long as he was dealt with, the Marines would naturally win.
"Is this directed at me?"
Seeing Akainu rushing toward him, Lucifer smiled faintly, neither dodging nor avoiding.
Whoosh!
A black shadow swept out from behind Lucifer, blocking Akainu's magma-fisted attack.
"Akainu, let me be your opponent."
Shiryu of the Rain, holding the famous sword Thunderstorm, met Akainu's magma fist head-on.
"Only you?"
"Get out of the way, you traitor!"
Akainu roared, and the lava fist exploded, forcing Shiryu of the Rain back.
As expected, Shiryu of the Rain wasn't a match for Akainu.
Lucifer shook his head inwardly; he had expected this.
"Die, Lucifer!"
"Great Eruption!"
Akainu's punch surged toward Lucifer, and the lava fist grew, swelling to a size of several meters.
"Since you want to play, let's play."
Lucifer also engaged, turning his fist into lava.
"Great Eruption!"
Lucifer's fist was even larger than Akainu's, reaching more than a hundred meters.
It was covered with peak-level Armament Haki. As soon as his ultimate move appeared, the strong murderous aura exploded.
Boom!
The two fists collided, and a powerful shockwave erupted, sweeping in all directions.
Countless eyes on the icy battlefield focused on the clash, expecting a fierce contest.
But they didn't expect the outcome to be decided in an instant.
Lucifer's punch landed, shattering Akainu's lava fist effortlessly.
The force of the punch continued forward, hitting Akainu's body directly.
Compared to Lucifer's massive fist, Akainu's body seemed tiny—like an ant.
The immense punch barreled forward like a runaway train, crashing into the ant head-on, with predictable results.
Akainu was sent flying, his body soaring backward, blood spilling from his mouth in mid-air.
His body couldn't withstand Lucifer's enormous force, and cracks spread throughout him as blood sprayed from every wound.
Rumble!
Akainu slammed into the Ice Continent, and the ice shattered in his wake, creating a thousand-meter-long ravine.
Lucifer withdrew his fist and smiled indifferently.
"Seems like your punch isn't that impressive, huh? Red Dog!"
"Universal Pull!"
Lucifer extended a massive hand, and a powerful gravitational force erupted.
Akainu, still vomiting blood, was pulled from the ice debris and flew toward Lucifer.
"Meteor Volcano!"
Akainu counterattacked, launching hundreds of lava bombs once again.
Thanks to the force of gravity, the bombs moved faster than before.
"Using my moves against me? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"
"Shenluo Tianzheng!"
Lucifer struck with a palm, and the shockwave from his Armament Haki released with powerful repulsion.
With a loud crash, the hundreds of lava bombs were instantly crushed.
At the same time, the repulsive force and the shockwave from the Armament Haki struck Akainu directly.
Akainu spat blood once more, flying backward.
The fight between Lucifer and Akainu quickly revealed the overwhelming difference in strength.
Lucifer was relentlessly dominating, like a father smacking his son.
Both the pirates and Marines watching were dumbfounded.
They'd never seen anyone so easily overpower a Marine Admiral!
"Red Dog, is that all you've got?"
Lucifer raised his finger to the sky and gently lowered it.
"The Sword of Judgment!"
With the words spoken, countless steel swords formed in the sky.
The moment the swords were formed, they were coated in Armament Haki and crashed down.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The swords sliced through the air with a speed so fast it almost formed a sonic boom.
"ICEAGE!"
Aokiji made his move, and a burst of cold air exploded, forming an iceberg to block the swords.
However, the massive iceberg instantly shattered in the face of Lucifer's attack.
"Where are you looking?"
Aokiji attempted to back up Akainu, revealing a small gap.
The naginata fell, splitting Aokiji into ice shards.
The fragments slowly regained their physical form, and a trickle of blood ran from Aokiji's mouth.
"Whitebeard II... he really is a monster!"
Even Aokiji had to admire Weibull's strength and his Armament Haki.
No wonder he was compared to a young Whitebeard; the comparison was well-deserved.
"ICEAGE!"
Akainu, covered in blood, emerged from the ice ruins, confronting Lucifer at a distance.
"What? You still want to fight?"
Lucifer smiled calmly.
"Red Dog, you're not my match."
"Should I get some help? The yellow monkey that fishes in soy sauce is doing pretty well!"
Lucifer looked toward the other side of the battlefield, where thunder and lightning flashed, and lasers intertwined with lightning in an intense clash.
Any stray lightning or laser caused violent explosions.
The surrounding Marines and pirates had long since evacuated, not daring to approach the battlefield.
Kizaru was enjoying himself fighting Enel, and the two seemed evenly matched.
Hearing Lucifer's voice, thousands of curses ran through Kizaru's mind.
MMP, I provoke you, you provoke me?
Kizaru, who had been "fishing in soy sauce," wanted to curse.
Can't I relax and fish?
You handle your own fight; what are you looking at me for?
It was clear that Enel was no match for him, and their match was simply the result of Kizaru playing around.
Kizaru knew his position well—if he didn't face Lucifer, he could guarantee his own safety.
Akainu also noticed Kizaru's situation and his face darkened immediately.
MMP, this damn pig teammate! Why are you selling me out?
When is this, and you're still chilling here like a salted fish?
What kind of grudge do I have with you? Are you trying to trick me like this?
