Chaotic battle: The destruction of Island One in the Sabaody Archipelago!

"Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique"

Natsu's icy voice came from below. Her hands moved almost without pause, one seal after another flying across the page.

Countless sharp wooden spikes shot out from the void behind him, densely covering half of the sky.

Each wooden spike carried a force powerful enough to pierce steel, accompanied by a Space Rend, like a deathly net that blotted out the sky, enveloping Kizaru.

Kizaru frowned slightly, his figure constantly switching between light particles and solid objects, weaving at high speed through the gaps in the wooden spikes.

While dodging, he also raised his hand and fired beams of laser light, blasting the stray wooden splinters into dust.

He could dodge the splinters, but he couldn't dodge what came next.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation"

Natsu a deep breath, and her chest suddenly expanded.

The next second, a raging sea of fire erupted from his mouth, the crimson flames engulfing half the sky like a burst dam.

The temperature of the inferno was terrifyingly high, even the air was distorted and deformed by the heat. The trees in the forest below that had not yet been affected by the battle were instantly dehydrated, carbonized, and then spontaneously combusted by the heat wave.

The entire sky above Island One was bathed in a crimson Kakkō.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation"

Before Kizaru could escape the sea of fire, Natsu's second attack followed immediately.

This time it wasn't a boundless sea of fire, but a giant fireball compressed to its extreme.

The fireball was larger than the entire warship, and the flames on its surface, due to extreme compression, emitted a blinding, almost white light, instantly burning the air into a vacuum wherever it passed.

The fireball, trailing a long tail of flame, hurtled towards Kizaru like a fallen sun.

Kizaru's pupils contracted slightly, and his body exploded into countless particles of light at the last second. The fireball grazed the edge of the light particles and crashed into the sea behind him.

With a deafening roar, a huge crater hundreds of meters in diameter was blasted into the sea. Boiling seawater surged into waves tens of meters high, and tons of fish were stunned by the shockwave, floating belly up on the surface of the sea.

"This is getting more and more outrageous..." Kizaru re-formed in mid-air, looked down at his charred trouser leg, where a small piece of fabric hadn't been able to elementalize in time and had been burned black by the flames.

His gaze passed over the raging Kakkō and landed on the boy below who was still expressionlessly Hand Seals.

That excessively young face was expressionless at the moment, except for the Three Tomoe in its eyes that spun wildly, like two bottomless, icy pools.

This kid is even stronger than he was a month ago.

A month ago on Origin Island, this brat's attack, though equally powerful, still carried a hint of awkwardness.

But today's barrage of attacks, whether in terms of the speed of Hand Seals, the power of Ninjutsu, or the rhythm of transitions, is a level above what it was before.

What's even more frightening is that his energy showed no signs of diminishing at all from beginning to end.

How old is he? Thirteen? Fourteen? If he keeps growing at this rate, in a few years, will anyone on this ocean be able to control him?

Suppressing the surging fear in his heart, Kizaru crossed his hands in front of him, and the golden light around him surged wildly. "Yasakani no Magatama!"

Countless golden light projectiles poured out from the ball of light, raining down on the Wood Golem and Wood Dragon below.

The light bullet collided with the Susanoo armor, exploding into a sky full of interwoven golden and white sparks. The deafening explosions continued, and the ground of the entire Island One trembled violently.

"It's useless."

Natsu's voice pierced through the roar of the explosion, coming up coldly.

The wooden giant clenched its fist suddenly, and a cold light flowed across its dark gold Chakra Armor —the scorch marks and cracks caused by the light blast healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lightning Release: Chidori Sharp Spear

He raised his hand, and blinding blue-white lightning exploded from his palm.

The lightning, infused with Chakra, stretched out and transformed into a spear of light hundreds of meters long, its tip crackling with electric snakes and emitting a piercing shriek.

Natsu locked onto the shimmering golden dot in the sky, and her crimson Sharingan suddenly contracted.

Right now.

He suddenly swung his arm, Chidori Sharp Spear flew out of his hand.

The lightning tore through the sky, moving so fast that it left no afterimage, arriving in front of Kizaru almost the instant it left his hand.

Kizaru's Observation Haki detected the attack trajectory in advance, and his figure once again turned into particles of light and dissipated.

Before he could recrystallize from his particle state, the second Chidori Sharp Spear followed closely, then the third, and the fourth—

Natsu wielded his spear with both hands, hurling it out one after another as if it were free, the speed increasing and the angles becoming more and more unpredictable.

His Chakra was like an ocean with no limit, which he could squander at will.

Kizaru was forced to dodge repeatedly, golden light flashing wildly in the sky, each flash just avoiding the deadly lightning.

Natsu's attack frequency was too fast, so fast that he didn't even have a chance to catch his breath. He had just dodged a Chidori Sharp Spear when he was met with three more wooden spikes. He dodged the wooden spikes to the side, and the fire dragon behind him had already opened its huge mouth.

"This is really annoying." Kizaru gritted his teeth and activated the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit again, transforming into a beam of light and soaring into the sky at a height of ten thousand meters, finally creating some distance for the time being.

He looked down and saw that the Island One was completely unrecognizable.

The forests Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence are still expanding wildly, with thick vines and giant trees crushing the once bustling streets.

Crimson flames burned in every corner, and thick smoke billowed straight into the sky.

The former auction house, tavern, and casino are now nothing but charred ruins, collapsing continuously in the inferno.

The ground was covered with deep, cracked pits, some made by the Wood Golem's giant fist, some by light bullets, and some by Fire Release blasts.

This most chaotic and bustling neighborhood in the Sabaody Archipelago was completely reduced to ruins in the short time the two men were fighting.

Those who couldn't escape in time—pirates, human traffickers, bounty hunters, nobles, and wealthy merchants—were now reduced to charred corpses beneath the ruins.

Faced with the battle between these two monsters, they didn't even have the right to struggle.

But that's not all.

Natsu gazed at the golden figure that had reformed in the sky, the crimson in her eyes surged to its peak.

He slammed his hands together, and a deep shout, carrying immense Chakra, exploded across the ruins.

"Lightning Release: Kirin".

The sky suddenly darkened.

This wasn't his own Lightning Release Chakra, but rather the pulling force of Kirin's attack, which stirred up the thick thunderclouds currently shrouding the Sabaody Archipelago.
