Burning Ohara

"Sakazuki, carry out the Buster Call!"

"Yes, sir!"

Sakazuki had finally heard the words he had been waiting for, and excitement gleamed in his eyes.

He had not forgotten that during the livestream, Ross had referred to his position as Admiral Candidate.

After all, this was a Buster Call. If his status were too low, people would inevitably question it. Admiral Candidate was just right.

Besides, this title was merely an unofficial designation acknowledged by the Marines. It was not an actual position, so even if Ross called him that, it would have no substantive impact.

Now, it was his time to shine.

Boom!!!

Under the gaze of the entire world, Sakazuki's legs transformed into magma as he personally shot into the sky.

That display alone drew cries of astonishment from countless civilians and made every pirate with a bounty under one hundred million stare in disbelief.

Meteor Volcano!

Sakazuki clenched both fists, like two volcano craters poised to erupt, and aimed them at the heavens.

Then, an indescribable energy boiled within him, transforming into endless heat waves and light. Sakazuki's fists abruptly became two cannons spewing magma, their immense power enough to change the color of heaven and earth.

Rumble, rumble!!!

The thunderous blasts shook every inch of air and sent tremors through the hearts of the viewers.

Every second, hundreds of magma projectiles shot from his fists like enraged fire dragons. Each was as large as a basketball, scorching and dazzling as they tore through the sky, leaving brilliant trails behind them.

The magma did not immediately fall from the sky. Under Sakazuki's astonishing control, it seemed bound by invisible chains, suspended in the heavens and forming a flowing ocean of magma.

The magma slowly revolved overhead, interweaving into breathtaking patterns. They glittered like a meteor shower across the heavens, yet contained devastating power.

In a normal battle, once the magma was launched, it would already have poured down under Sakazuki's control.

But this time, to achieve the best possible spectacle, Sakazuki chose to build up power first.

With his current stamina, he could keep spraying magma like this for an entire day.

If anything was taxing, it was controlling the magma in the sky and keeping it from falling.

Ross stood quietly at the bow, admiring the fiery clouds filling the sky.

This magnificent scene alone was enough to leave the viewers deeply shocked.

When the magma covered a hundred-meter radius above the Tree of Knowledge, awe shone in the civilians' eyes, while pirates with bounties in the tens of millions showed fear.

When the magma expanded to five hundred meters, even pirates worth over one hundred million had begun to feel dread.

When the magma expanded to one thousand meters, even the great pirates of the New World wore grave expressions.

At the same time, after learning that the World Government was livestreaming a Buster Call, many people gathered around screens to witness this rare spectacle.

Even several rulers of the New World joined in after hearing the news of the Buster Call, watching with the mindset of enjoying a show.

By then, the sea of magma had expanded to roughly two thousand meters.

The magma ocean now filled the sky, as though a natural disaster had descended.

Seeing this, Dragon and Whitebeard, who were watching the livestream, both revealed grave expressions.

It was not that they believed they could not defeat him. But once a Logia-type displayed such catastrophic power, even if they won, all nearby companions would be wiped out.

Only lone wolves like Count Red, or great pirates like Big Mom who did not care about their companions, could watch Sakazuki's display so calmly.

Rumble!!!

By the time the magma sea had accumulated to two thousand five hundred meters, two full hours had passed.

At this point, everyone was watching the livestream with rapt attention. Many were even betting on just how powerful Sakazuki's attack would become.

Only a few experts could guess that Sakazuki was nearing his limit.

If Sakazuki could continue expanding it, his strength would be on equal footing with Whitebeard's. That was simply impossible.

But after Sakazuki's display, no one doubted that he possessed Admiral-level strength. At most, they believed he was still somewhat inferior to Whitebeard and the others.

A hint of strain showed in Sakazuki's eyes. This was about his limit.

Even so, the sea of magma had already completely covered the Tree of Knowledge.

Meteor Shower!

Sakazuki let out a fierce roar.

With that command, the magma ocean in the sky seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and began to slowly tilt.

The suspended magma, like furious meteors breaking free of their restraints, poured down upon Ohara with world-destroying force.

Like lava flowing from an erupting volcano, the magma slid down from the heavens, tearing through the sky with a scorching glow capable of melting everything and boundless might as it rushed toward Ohara. The entire island seemed submerged beneath a crimson sea, with nowhere to flee and nowhere to hide.

Sakazuki's power was displayed to the fullest at that moment. The magma torrents were like nature's fury. Wherever they passed, whether solid rocks or lush trees, everything was instantly melted and reduced to nothing.

The thousand-meter-tall Tree of Knowledge at the center of Ohara was the first to bear the brunt. Magma crashed down upon its trunk and branches like a violent storm, instantly swallowing it whole.

The Tree of Knowledge's immense body looked so fragile beneath the ravaging magma, as though it were merely a tiny toy before Sakazuki's power. Its trunk crackled as it burned, while its branches and leaves rapidly withered in the scorching heat, turning into wisps of smoke that drifted away.

If even the Tree of Knowledge suffered such a fate, the island's houses and buildings were even less worth mentioning. Under the magma flood, they were almost instantly reduced to ashes.

The air was filled with a pungent burnt smell and the suffocating heat of magma, as though Sakazuki's flames had enveloped the entire world.

Even Ross and the others aboard the nearest warship could feel a scorching heat wave rushing at them.

Everyone aboard wore different expressions.

Ross narrowed his eyes slightly and simply admired the grand fireworks before him.

Though he was amazed by Sakazuki's power, one day, he would reach that level as well.

And the Devil Fruit he had chosen might produce effects even greater than Sakazuki's.

Zephyr was the calmest of them all. Although he had not seen Sakazuki fight for a long time, he had already made an assessment of Sakazuki's potential.

Seeing Sakazuki's current strength, a trace of satisfaction appeared in Zephyr's eyes.

Gion, Zany, and Stella also watched silently, their eyes filled with reverence for the strong. Even Zany and Gion were seeing an Admiral-level powerhouse go all out for the first time.

In a one-on-one fight, they would not even be able to withstand a single exchange against an Admiral-level powerhouse.

Olvia and Robin, mother and daughter, wore the most complicated expressions. As they watched the Tree of Knowledge burn amid the roaring magma, tears flowed in their eyes.

Their homeland was what was burning.
