"Akainu,"

Ace looked at Akainu, who stood before all the Vice Admirals, half of his body transformed into magma. A crimson-black light flashed in his eyes.

Though they were on opposing sides, and their ideologies were as irreconcilable as fire and water—and though Akainu was the man who had killed his Pops, a grudge he and the entire former Whitebeard crew carried...

Ace had to admit, Akainu was a true, iron-blooded soldier.

He was far more respectable than the Nobles who relied solely on their status and privilege to lord over civilians. At the very least, Akainu possessed the soldierly quality of taking responsibility, and the courage to die on the battlefield.

Of course, that didn’t mean Ace would show any mercy.

Killing Akainu would deprive the World Government of a crucial Admiral. And the Magma-Magma Fruit—the Devil Fruit with the strongest offensive power—would still be of some use to Rowen.

HE WANTS TO MAKE ROWEN THE KING OF THE WORLD!

Akainu was, without a doubt, a major obstacle on that path.

"LET’S GO! FINISH THEM QUICKLY!"

Ace led the charge.

Zoro and Sanji were right behind him.

They too had already made their preparations and their resolve.

They could appreciate the Marines’ determination, but these Marines were still obstacles on the path to making Rowen the King of the World and Luffy the Pirate King.

THESE MARINES, ESPECIALLY AKAINU, HAD TO BE ELIMINATED!

<><><><><><><><>

"Shishishi!"

Luffy laughed cheerfully, his body having already shrunk from its Ancient Giant form back to normal size.

The massive form of an Ancient Giant, which Luffy could achieve thanks to the special nature of Nika, granted him an incredible all-around power boost. But in exchange, the stamina and Haki consumption was immense.

Because of Nika’s rubbery body, Haki could be directly integrated into it. This allowed Luffy, in battle, to simultaneously use Armament Haki, Haōshoku Coating, and Devil Fruit power—a trinity of fused power that naturally put Nika a tier above other combatants of the same level.

The trade-off was that once Nika Form’s stamina was depleted, his Haki was also completely gone. He would become completely drained, shriveling up like he did in the original story.

With this characteristic, Luffy gained super-strong combat power, but moves that consumed a lot of stamina also consumed a lot of Haki.

Luffy’s current stamina and Haki had already surpassed his Egghead-arc self from the original story. But Gear Fifth still consumed a massive amount of both. He had to conserve it whenever possible.

With the four of them working together—Akainu and his men wouldn’t last long. Naturally, they had to choose the method that would preserve the most stamina and Haki.

<><><><><><><><>

"COME ON! STRAW HAT! FIRE FIST! PIRATE HUNTER! BLACK LEG!"

Akainu roared, his entire body boiling with magma, looking at the four incredibly powerful figures.

All four of them had mastered Haōshoku Coating. They were all true top-tier powerhouses on these seas.

Even Akainu had to give these people his full respect.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A frightening amount of magma was drawn from the depths of the island, surging and boiling in the atmosphere around Akainu.

At this moment, Akainu was like a living, super-active volcano, erupting madly!

The power of a volcanic eruption, the most powerful localized destructive force among the three great disasters of the One Piece world, was pushed to its absolute limit by Akainu. For a moment, even Ace and the others’ eyes turned grave—they didn’t rashly approach.

With the four of them working together, even with Akainu fighting so desperately, they could break through. But the consumption of stamina and Haki would be too great.

The Five Elders had not yet made their move—

Akainu was currently drawing on the full power of his Magma-Magma Fruit, turning himself into an erupting super-volcano. A volcano is most terrifying when it erupts, possessing incredibly violent and destructive power. This was the source of the Magma-Magma Fruit’s ability to clash with Haōshoku Coating using just its Devil Fruit power alone.

And just as a real volcano needs to accumulate energy for years before it can erupt, for Akainu to unleash the full power of a volcanic eruption required a horrifying amount of stamina. He absolutely could not sustain it.

They had no need to clash head-on with Akainu in his strongest state. They just needed to wait for the eruptive force of the volcano to weaken slightly, then attack.

<><><><><><><><>

"WHAT AN AMAZING ABILITY... THE MAGMA-MAGMA FRUIT!"

Ace’s Observation Haki was pushed to its extreme, his eyes shaking.

This magma wasn’t coming from the depths of Egghead. It was from even deeper!

FROM THE SEA BENEATH EGGHEAD!

In the sea, there were vast submerged lands, with a massive number of submarine volcanoes.

Just like in the original story, when Luffy and the others first went to Fish-Man Island and encountered a submarine volcanic eruption.

Akainu—was using the Awakened power of the Magma-Magma Fruit to trigger the eruption of a submarine volcano!

He was drawing this magma up from the depths of the sea, for his own use!

Using the power of a submarine volcano, Akainu’s combat strength at this moment was astonishing!

Even the four of them—Luffy, Ace, Zoro, and Sanji—were unwilling to clash with Akainu head-on at this moment.

The Magma-Magma Fruit... Worthy of being the Devil Fruit with the Highest attack power, one of the absolute strongest Devil Fruits of all.

To trigger a large-scale eruption of a submarine volcano and then use that power for himself—such an astonishing power made Ace, Zoro, and Sanji marvel.

Before this power, even their Haōshoku Coating attacks couldn’t compete. The three of them, individually, were not qualified to fight Akainu in this state.

Among the four of them, the only one who could fight Akainu head-on in this state was Luffy in his full-power Gear Fifth.

<><><><><><><><>

But the price of using this power was also obvious.

Even with Akainu’s physique, the massive stamina consumption made it difficult for him to maintain this state.

BUT—

Akainu was prepared to die!

In this state, Akainu himself was a mobile, erupting super-volcano!

With this power, he would drag Fire Fist, Pirate Hunter, and Black Leg—one of them, or even two—TO THEIR DEATHS WITH HIM!

Once this move was used, it was an absolute, all-or-nothing gamble. It couldn’t be sustained for long.

"FIRE FIST ACE!"

Akainu’s chosen target was still Ace.

This sinful bloodline of the Pirate King had to be purged!

And Fire Fist Ace was a Flame Human of the Flare-Flare Fruit. In his current erupting volcano state, Ace had no room to resist.

In this state, he could easily break through Fire Fist Ace’s not-yet-fully-matured Haōshoku Coating!

Killing Fire Fist Ace would be a worthy sacrifice for him, the Fleet Admiral of the Navy.

"ACE! DODGE!"

Luffy and the others immediately rushed to the rescue.

But Akainu, using the Six Powers’ Shave, stacked with the power of a volcanic eruption, his speed at this moment was incredibly astonishing.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Ace also hastily gathered his Haōshoku Coating and coated his entire body with Armament Haki.

BUT... Akainu in this state was an erupting super-volcano. Even Ace’s Haōshoku Coating couldn’t compete with it and began to crumble.

Even if Ace hardened his entire body with Armament Haki, it was still impossible to block Akainu’s attack.
