"FIRE FIST!"

The moment they heard Ace’s roar, Sanji and Zoro instantly vanished from their positions.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A frighteningly massive pillar of flame raged through the atmosphere, aimed directly at Akainu.

Even more terrifying, the very tip of this pillar of fire was shaped like a fist.

An immense amount of flame element was concentrated there, the power of the Flare-Flare Fruit pushed to its absolute limit, forming a horrifying fire fist that burned like a miniature sun.

Before the Flare-Flare Fruit was Awakened, Fire Fist was just a pillar of flame.

But after mastering the fruit to its peak and unleashing its full power, Ace could now concentrate a massive amount of flame element into a single point.

His Flame Glove came from this principle, pushing the Flare-Flare Fruit’s power to its extreme.

And ’Fire Fist’, naturally, also evolved.

Ace concentrated all the flame element at the forefront of the attack, forming a nearly solid Fist of Fire, followed by a massive trail of flames—creating a cataclysmic area-of-effect attack.

After the Awakening of the Flare-Flare Fruit... Fire Fist—Ace’s signature move, had reached a completely new level.

More importantly!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Violent, tyrannical crimson-black lightning roared furiously in the atmosphere, wrapping itself around the nearly solidified fist of flame.

Haōshoku Coating—Fire Fist!

If it were just a wide-area pillar of flame, Ace’s Conqueror’s Haki wouldn’t be strong enough to cover it entirely.

But to coat just the Fist of Flame at its head, was more than enough!

Using a Logia ability as a medium to wrap it in Conqueror’s Haki, creating a long-range Haōshoku attack!

The effect was similar to the signature move of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger—using a flying slash as a medium to wrap it in Conqueror’s Haki, creating the Haōshoku slash—"Divine Departure."

"Hound Blaze——!"

Akainu roared, his right arm instantly turning to magma. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The Magma Arm rapidly elongated, forming the shape of a dog’s head.

And within that dog’s mouth, like a miniature volcano, was the terrifying explosive power of a volcanic eruption.

Hound Blaze—a move that concealed the power of a volcanic eruption within its fangs.

WHOOOOOOOOOOSH!

The Magma Dog head shot forward, lunging to bite the fist of flame, the volcanic power within it determined to swallow the fire fist whole.

According to the principles of Devil Fruit matchups, even an Awakened Flare-Flare Fruit at full power should have been helplessly extinguished by the Magma-Magma Fruit, which was its superior.

BUT!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Countless globs of magma and violent, tyrannical crimson-black lightning tore at each other in the atmosphere.

This wasn’t a clash between the Magma-Magma and Flare-Flare Fruits... It was a clash between Akainu’s Magma—and Ace’s Haōshoku Coating!

Just as "Divine Departure" used a flying slash as a medium for a long-range Haōshoku attack—

—Ace’s Fire Fist now used the property of fire burning and extending through the air as a medium for a long-range Haōshoku attack!

The Magma-Magma Fruit was the superior of the Flare-Flare Fruit, completely countering its ability.

But Haōshoku Coating was not countered by the Magma-Magma Fruit. And the tyranny and violence of Haōshoku Coating were in no way inferior to the horrifying destructive power of magma.

Although Ace’s current Haōshoku Coating hadn’t reached Luffy’s level, this attack was a do-or-die move, unleashing all of his Haki in a single, ranged blast.

In one blow, Ace had pushed his Haki and Devil Fruit ability to their absolute limits.

For a moment, Akainu’s Hound Blaze couldn’t gain any advantage.

In the storm of energy from their collision, the crumbling ground was littered with magma that had been torn from Hound Blaze by the power of Ace’s Haōshoku.

"FIRE FIST! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??"

Gion and the others stared at the scene in horror.

Fire Fist Ace, during the Summit War, he couldn’t even stand up to Fleet Admiral Akainu for a single exchange.

Relying completely on his Flare-Flare Fruit, he had been utterly helpless against Akainu, whose Devil Fruit completely countered his.

The matchup between Devil Fruits was just that cruel. The Flare-Flare Fruit, even among the incredibly rare Logia types, was a top-tier power.

But against the Magma-Magma Fruit, it had no chance...

BUT NOW—

Ace could use his signature Fire Fist, to contend with a full-power attack from Fleet Admiral Akainu.

And could even use the characteristics of the Flare-Flare Fruit to launch a long-range Haōshoku Coating attack.

With this attack, he had completely blocked Fleet Admiral Akainu’s magma ability.

EVERYTHING HAD CHANGED.

In just one short year, how could everything have changed so drastically??

Gion and the other core Marine officers were drenched in cold sweat.

THERE WERE TOO MANY OF THEM.

The number of Admiral-level fighters under Sky Sovereign was just too many.

WHAT A HORRIFYING FORCE!

"Fire Fist Ace has also learned Haōshoku Coating??" Akainu’s forehead throbbed with veins.

This attack from Fire Fist Ace was merely using the Flare-Flare Fruit as a medium, utilizing the characteristic of flame element to burn and extend through the atmosphere, attaching a large amount of Haōshoku Coating energy to the elemental fist of fire for the attack.

Against the Flare-Flare Fruit’s ability, his Magma could dominate.

But against Haōshoku Coating, especially a do-or-die attack where Fire Fist Ace had poured almost all of his Haki into a single blow...

Even his full-power attack couldn’t gain any advantage.

"I am a Flame Human of the Flare-Flare Fruit. Don’t forget that the power of fire isn’t just heat and temperature... it’s the power to burn in the air! And my Haōshoku Coating can use that as a medium to be unleashed at full power."

An astonishing crimson-black light flashed in Ace’s eyes.

Rayleigh could also use "Divine Departure," using a flying slash as a medium to wrap it in Conqueror’s Haki, forming an incredibly terrifying long-range Haōshoku attack.
