Gales howled. The sea churned violently.
Lightning, magma, flashes of light, Haki, gunfire, and smoke engulfed the entire Sabaody Archipelago and the surrounding seas.
The Marines advanced.
The pirates fled.
Countless so-called safe havens vanished under artillery fire.
On this day—
The arrogant pirates finally saw the world for what it truly was.
For the first ti, they understood how insignificant their lives were, like dust in the vast sea.
At the fountain plaza—
The area no longer resembled its forr self.
For over a thousand ters, everything had been swallowed by magma.
From afar, only two blurred figures could be seen clashing again and again.
Terrifying storms spread across the land like ripples on water.
The violent aura radiated outward at an astonishing speed.
Even the trees, ground, and building debris near the island's edges cracked continuously.
"Dark King Rayleigh… today will be the day you die!"
Akainu's eyes erupted with killing intent.
His magma-coated fist burst forward with terrifying force.
"Great Eruption!!"
Like a volcanic blast, the molten punch surged forward with the ominous glow of a hellhound.
"Divine Departure!!"
BOOM!!
Fist and sword collided.
Rayleigh was blown backward like a kite with its string cut.
A sharp crack of breaking bones echoed out.
His flip-flops carved long trenches across the ground.
He stabbed his sword into the earth to stabilize himself.
A burning pain spread through his hand.
His right palm had already turned charred black.
"Haa…!"
Rayleigh breathed heavily.
As ti passed, his Haki and stamina were being drained rapidly.
Earlier, he had been able to suppress Akainu.
Now—
He could only barely hold on.
Akainu wasn't in good condition either.
His breathing was uneven.
Internal bleeding caused hot blood to flow from his nose and mouth.
Even worse were the deep sword wounds across his body—
Dark red Conqueror's Haki lightning still crackled around them.
Yet despite his battered condition—
Akainu revealed a grim smile.
Trading his own injuries to force Rayleigh to exhaust his Haki had been his strategy all along.
Once Rayleigh ran out of Haki—
What threat could a 76-year-old man possibly pose?
Magma burst violently from Akainu's right arm as black smoke rose.
He launched another punch toward Rayleigh.
anwhile—
The sky above had turned pitch black with storm clouds.
Lightning crackled constantly between the clouds with deafening thunder.
Suddenly—
A massive black lightning dragon tore through the sky.
Its curved horns were razor sharp.
Its eyes glowed like giant lanterns.
Its claws could rip apart the heavens.
Black lightning crackled across its hardened scales.
When the mountain-sized dragon head erged from the clouds—
A terrifying aura spread outward.
It carried the overwhelming pressure of a superior lifeform.
Pale lightning illuminated the terrified faces of the Marines below.
"A… a dragon?!"
"That's impossible!"
"Are dragons really real?!"
"Hm?"
Akainu sensed the terrifying presence above and curled his lips into a grin.
He stomped forward—
His magma arm blazing with destructive power—
And slamd his fist downward.
Rayleigh widened his eyes.
Conqueror's Haki and Armant Haki intertwined as he raised his sword to block.
Sword and fist collided midair like a teor striking the earth.
Rayleigh's body sank into the ground.
The land within ten ters collapsed, forming a massive crater.
A burst of Haki forced Akainu backward.
BOOM!!
Akainu landed heavily, his volcanic aura rising even higher.
"Old man…"
"Your era is over."
"Lie down already!"
At that mont—
A thunderous voice echoed through the sky.
"One Billion Volts: Destruction Thunder Dragon!!"
The massive lightning dragon opened its eyes.
Countless black lightning bolts surged through its body.
Carrying an aura capable of destroying the world, it lunged toward a tiny figure below.
Buzz!
That tiny figure suddenly shone with golden light.
Within the dark sky—
That flash of gold was dazzling.
The blazing light erupted with imnse destructive power.
Kizaru spread his arms slightly.
His Justice coat fluttered behind him.
"Oooh… scary."
"We can't just let that happen."
In an instant—
Countless golden light bullets burst from his body, forming a rain of light that poured toward the thunder dragon.
"Yasakani no Magatama!!"
The golden projectiles exploded continuously.
Fire and lightning intertwined violently.
Massive explosions tore through the sky.
The heavens themselves seed to beco a forbidden zone.
"…No choice."
"If it's co to this, I'll have to gamble."
Luffy's eyes hardened.
Black lightning began compressing tightly around his body.
CRACKLE!!
Steam burst from his skin.
A storm of black lightning stirred massive waves.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Even Kizaru's usually relaxed face twisted in surprise.
Luffy's body underwent a drastic transformation.
His muscles tightened and bulged.
His hair stood upright like flas.
Jet-black Armant Haki covered his body completely.
"Gear Fourth…"
"Thunder God: Snake-Man Form!!"
CRACK!
Luffy clenched his right fist.
Destructive lightning wrapped around it.
He punched toward Kizaru thousands of ters away.
"Thunder God — Gum-Gum Jet Culverin!!"
His arm stretched instantly.
White air rings spiraled around it.
In a thousandth of a second—
The punch struck Kizaru's crossed arms.
CRACK!
The sound of bones breaking echoed.
Kizaru was blasted away in a streak of golden light.
Violent winds battered his body.
He forced himself to stop midair.
Blood dripped from the sleeve of his yellow uniform.
At the sa ti—
Luffy appeared above him like a ghost.
His leg, coated in Armant Haki and black lightning, fell like a giant axe.
BOOM!!
A pillar of golden light crashed straight down into the ocean.
The impact split the sea apart.
A massive crater ford on the water's surface.
"Haa…"
Luffy exhaled deeply.
For a Devil Fruit user, the ocean was the ultimate nightmare.
This was the only way he could think of to defeat Kizaru.
But—
A bad feeling suddenly surged through him.
In an instant—
Golden light flashed.
A white leather shoe appeared beside Luffy's head.
WHOOSH!!
Black lightning streaked across the sky as Luffy was sent flying toward Sabaody.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
His body smashed through several giant mangrove trees like a teor.
He finally crashed to the ground and rolled nearly a hundred ters before stopping.
Pain flooded his body.
Taking Kizaru's kick head-on had been costly.
Luffy slowly stood up.
His broken bones rapidly healed.
His heart pounded like war drums.
Aside from intense pain and his blood-soaked shirt—
His body was still in peak condition.
"Oooh… scary."
Kizaru floated calmly in the sky.
But his Marine coat was stained with blood.
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
His ribs had collapsed inward unnaturally.
Clearly—
Kizaru was injured.
And not just lightly.
"Well… now Sengoku can't say I didn't try."
Kizaru muttered to himself.
Suddenly—
A lightning-wrapped fist shot toward him like a rocket.
A distance of ten thousand ters closed in a thousandth of a second.
Kizaru tilted sideways to dodge.
His right leg flashed with golden light as he kicked the rubber fist away.
Then he shot toward Luffy in a streak of light.
CRACK!!
Black lightning exploded instantly.
Luffy raised his head and threw punches at extre speed.
Dark fists filled the sky like rain.
If slowed down—
One could see Luffy's arms twisting and bending through the air like serpents.
Each punch carried power far surpassing that of an adult giant warrior.
"Thunder God: teor Railgun Barrage!!"
"Hmm…"
Kizaru's body dissolved into countless light particles.
He danced effortlessly through the storm of fists.
His tinted glasses glowed with golden light.
As if predicting the future—
He slipped through the rain of attacks.
Suddenly—
He appeared in front of Luffy.
Both hands clasped together—
A sword of pure light ford instantly.
With a downward slash—
He struck Luffy across the chest.
Blood sprayed everywhere.
Luffy's eyes widened.
Too fast…
Even Observation Haki couldn't track him.
"You know…"
"For a speed-type fighter, Observation Haki is extrely important."
BOOM!!
Kizaru's kick slamd into Luffy's face.
Luffy's body flew away like a cannonball.
White shock rings appeared as he smashed through several collapsed buildings before crashing heavily onto the ground.
