Magma Great Eruption Appears in the Otherworld!
[Bang! Bang! Bang!]
One mortar shell after another shot out of the cannon barrel.
Compared to bullets that only create fleeting sparks on the surface of the 'Blue Heart', these made a huge commotion, with bursts of bright flame appearing, making for a truly spectacular sight.
But when the smoke from the first round of shelling dissipated, they found that the Jet Black Giant, with its purple-tinged patterns, was completely unharmed.
Instead, the latter raised its 'left hand' and aimed the enormous cannon at a group of the Army soldiers who were still firing fiercely not far away, firing an energy bullet that was entirely composed of purple light.
In the blink of an eye, with a deafening roar, the ground beneath their feet exploded and shattered!
[Swish, swish, swish----]
At the same time.
The Rokushiki masters of CIPHER POL sprang into action. These men in black suits moved swiftly around the Jet Black Giant, using Geppo.
To be honest, these people are quite experienced with opponents of enormous size, having fought against Sea King and Giants to varying degrees.
In short, avoid direct confrontation; use mobile harassment instead!
"Rankyaku - Chaos!"
"Rankyaku - Line!"
In mid-air, seven or eight men in black chose to unleash sharp vacuum slashes, while another group of men in black chose to circle around behind it.
"Shigan - Spotted!"
"Shigan - Yellow Lotus!"
In an instant, streaks of bright blue crescent-shaped vacuum slashes and countless afterimages of Shigan bombarded various parts of 'Blue Heart's' body.
Combined with the relentless barrage of bullets and mortar shells, the Jet Black Giant was completely enveloped by countless attacks.
"Hee-hoo!!!"
The fierce explosions and vacuum slashes actually forced 'Blue Heart' to retreat step by step, each step cracking the ground beneath her.
Enraged, it wildly swung its huge black scimitar in its right hand, trying to kill the mosquitoes that had hurt it. But the men in black were masters of dodging, and none of them were hit by the seemingly dangerous blade.
[Boom------]
Suddenly, a dazzling purple light erupted from the Jet Black Giant, followed by a flood of mental waves that swept across the entire area, causing the black-clad figures who were hit at close range to immediately stop moving.
"Aaaaaah!"
"No! Don't come any closer!"
"What is this?!"
The next moment, screams of extreme terror rang out from their mouths. These members of CIPHER POL-7 did the most disgraceful thing in the battle: they fled uncontrollably!
Before they could run very far, they were swatted away by the sweeping giant blade, and only those in black at the back managed to create distance.
What do you think?
Fleet Admiral Raymond glanced at the Army soldiers not far away, who seemed to be affected as well. They were all pale-faced and staring at the Jet Black Giant in terror.
Standing a step behind him, Sakazuki stared at the imposing-looking 'Blue Heart' with a stern face, and replied upon hearing the former's question.
"Whether it's the black silk from before or the black armor on the surface, it's clearly a product of condensed Divine Power, equivalent to our Armament Haki. In other words, it's currently in a state of full-body Armament Haki Hardening. Judging from its aura, the intensity isn't high, probably similar to those beginners who have just mastered it."
"However, according to Dean Fritz's previous explanation, when these Kabane, called 'Nue,' form 'Black Mist,' they can temporarily utilize the Divine Power of other Kabane. Therefore, the strength of the Black Armor is probably related to the number of Kabane gathered there."
"That kind of mental fluctuation is similar to Conqueror's Haki, but its effect focuses more on inducing fear on a psychological level, and it is indeed difficult for people with weak willpower to resist it."
He had barely finished speaking when Dean Fritz added, "The previous black, sticky substance was indeed a product of pure Divine Power, but the black armor now is not!"
"Notice the purple vein-like patterns on the black armor. They look exactly like the Kabane Heart Membrane. In other words, that black armor is actually composed of a large number of Kabane bodies, Heart Membrane, and black viscous substances."
"It is a fusion of matter and spirit!"
After listening to their opinions, Fleet Admiral Raymond stroked his slightly stubbled chin thoughtfully and chuckled, "So, if we give it enough Kabane, we can create an even more powerful Jet Black Giant, one that comes with both Armament Haki and Fear-type Conqueror's Haki?"
"Oh, and it also has the ability to freely switch weapon forms and fire energy projectiles!"
At this moment, Souei nodded and said excitedly, "Yes, we still don't know the limit of the scale of the 'Black Mist'!"
Wow~~
Fleet Admiral Raymond looked at the massive black body of 'Blue Heart' with surprise, then ordered Sakazuki, "It's caused enough trouble already. Let it rest for a while. Have Minister Crane give it a brainwashing. We need a more 'intelligent' War Beast!"
Sakazuki nodded silently upon hearing this, then strode forward with his long legs clad in crimson trousers and gleaming black leather boots, Earth Flow slowly yet swiftly toward the still rampaging Jet Black Giant.
"It's up to you, Army General Akainu."
As he walked past Minister He, he heard a teasing remark from him, but the former, lacking any sense of humor, replied in a deep voice.
"It's my duty!"
As Tsuru watched Sakazuki's black Coat of Justice sway in the strong wind, he sighed inwardly, "Times are changing so fast."
Before Souei Wei and the others could even react, Sakazuki's legs rapidly transformed into flowing lava. Suddenly, not only did the surrounding temperature rise, but a strong smell of sulfur also filled the air.
[Boom!!!]
The next moment, a huge explosion resounded throughout the entire venue, and in the blink of an eye, Sakazuki had transformed into a fiery meteor and soared into the sky.
The speed at which it exploded was simply astonishing.
This Akainu 'Admiral ability is the Logia Magma-Magma Fruit, and his most powerful volcanic eruption can spray a large amount of volcanic ash into the air at a height of more than 45 kilometers in a short period of time!
Therefore, the jet speed he exhibits in reality is far from being as slow and sluggish as in the animation. You could say he is a humanoid supernatural volcano!
"Hee-hoo------"
Sakazuki's astonishing commotion was naturally noticed by Blue Heart immediately. At that moment, the countless Kabane Virus its body felt a strong sense of crisis and fear.
They, who were already adept at 'manipulating' fear, did not hesitate to believe the fear they felt, prompting 'Blue Heart' to immediately unleash its strongest weapon.
[Click-clack click-clack.]
Its body began to rapidly transform, and the blade on its right arm quickly turned into a cannon barrel identical to the one on its left arm.
At the same time, more black, sticky threads emerged from its back, transforming one after another into black cannon barrels that glowed with a purplish light.
In the blink of an eye, six enormous cannons and countless gun barrels appeared on the Jet Black Giant's body, their shapes remarkably similar to Steam Gun, and they all aimed at the oncoming Starfire.
[Buzz------]
The next second, all the cannon muzzles and gun barrels emitted an even brighter purple light from within!
It's concentrating most of its mental energy into this wave of attack!
"Heh~"
Seeing this, Sakazuki snorted coldly, showing no intention of dodging, and directly elementalized his right arm as well, causing thick smoke and Huoguang to shoot into the sky.
"Great Eruption!!"
