Who Was Redfield?

However, Bullet showed no fear and threw a punch just as fearlessly, which collided fiercely with Garp's fist.

In an instant, the two powerful forces collided violently in the air, triggering a devastating explosion. The Shockwave from the explosion swept outwards like a raging torrent, tearing apart everything in its path, from buildings to the ground.

As this thrilling scene unfolded, Whitebeard and Redfield each faced their own opponents. Whitebeard clashed with Kizaru, and the two instantly engaged in a fierce battle of light and darkness; Redfield, meanwhile, clashed with Aokiji in a contest of ice and fire.

At the same time, a group of powerful figures, including Marco, "Diamond" Jozu, Ace, Shiryu, Katrin Demi, Basque Vasco Shot, and Avalo Pizarro, pounced on the Marine Vice Admiral like hungry tigers. In an instant, the entire battlefield descended into chaos and clamor, with shouts of battle and explosions rising and falling, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Only Akainu and Moke remained standing face to face, a deliberate arrangement by the others. Moke's target was clear: Akainu was the only one on his mind, so they naturally left him to Moke.

Akainu's face was ashen, radiating an icy aura. He stared coldly at Moke and said, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, making you Shichibukai was a mistake."

Moke's lips curled into a faint smile. He waved his hand and said, "Wrong. I do have some old friendships. For Smoker and Tashigi's sake, I won't provoke the Navy... This time, if the Marine Headquarters hadn't been misled by Gild Tesoro and wanted to finish me off here after this war, I wouldn't have betrayed them... At most, I would have remained neutral and watched the show from the sidelines."

Akainu was stunned by these words, clearly not expecting Moke to say such a thing. He turned to look at Sengoku on the platform, his brow furrowing slightly, wondering to himself: Could it really be as Moke said?

Sengoku stood on the high platform, expressionless as he looked down at Akainu and Moke. His heart was like a still pond, outwardly calm but inwardly he was rapidly pondering Moke's words.

Akainu was silent for a moment, seemingly weighing something, then a faint, almost imperceptible sneer appeared on his lips as he slowly said, "It seems I misjudged Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

However, before Akainu could finish speaking, his tone suddenly changed, becoming even colder, as if it could freeze the surrounding air. "However, that doesn't mean I'll let you go, Moke." His gaze was like two cold beams, fixed on Moke, the killing intent within them sending chills down one's spine.

Akainu's voice echoed in the air, carrying an irresistible air of authority, "A guy like you should be nipped in the bud. Otherwise, you'll become a future problem..."

At the same time, a hint of doubt arose in Akainu's mind. How did this seemingly insignificant Moke know something that even he, a Marine Admiral, didn't know? This was clearly not a simple matter.

Akainu frowned slightly as he began to re-examine Moke. Who exactly was this Moke? What was his position within the Navy? How did he know such confidential information?

A variety of questions swirled in Akainu's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that things were not simple. It was obvious that there was Moke in the Navy, and this mole's status was definitely not low.

So, who exactly is this mysterious informant? Akainu was filled with confusion and vigilance, and he decided to investigate the matter thoroughly, leaving no possible clue unchecked.

[What he didn't know was that Vergo, as the commander of G1, had already been instructed by Sengoku that as soon as Moke was dealt with, he and the other commanders would immediately take action to eliminate the rest of Moke's group. This is how Vergo obtained the intelligence that Sengoku was plotting against Moke.]

The more Akainu thought about it, the stronger his murderous intent towards Moke became. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms, and the veins on his forehead bulged with anger.

"You must die..." Akainu said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with hatred and determination.

Moke also sneered, a slight upturn of his lips revealing a disdainful smile.

Upon hearing this, Moke couldn't help but laugh.

He didn't hide anything and said directly, "Air!"

"Air?"

The Red-Hair looked shocked, then puzzled.

This is where his knowledge gaps come into play.

He's very similar to Luffy; fighting, training, and improving his strength are all things he does. Of course, he's much stronger than Luffy, and he knows some common knowledge.

But things like air have already touched on scientific topics.

However, Moke wasn't annoyed and gave him a brief explanation.

The air fills every corner of our world.

Transparent, colorless, and odorless, it is mainly composed of nitrogen and oxygen and has a significant impact on human survival and production.

For example, humans, animals, and even other creatures all need to breathe. Breathing is the process of obtaining some of the things we need from the air, such as oxygen.

"???"

The Red-Hair's eyes immediately showed even more doubt.

Moke's lips twitched slightly upon seeing this. Indeed, no matter the world, one must study hard!

Otherwise, even if you have great skills, you won't be able to develop any decent techniques.

The composition of air changes with altitude and air pressure.

Air is colorless and odorless under natural conditions. Oxygen in the air is essential for all aerobic organisms. All animals need to breathe oxygen, and green plants also need oxygen for respiration. In addition, green plants use carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis, and air is almost the only source of carbon dioxide needed by all plants.

"What a coincidence...that's what I was thinking too," Moke retorted without backing down.

Before he could finish speaking, Akainu suddenly launched an attack. He roared, "Meigo!"

Akainu first turned his arm into lava, and his ordinary arm instantly transformed into a giant dog head made of lava. The dog head was lifelike, with flames spewing from its open mouth, as if it wanted to devour everything.

Immediately afterwards, Akainu stretched out his lava-turned arm, like a ferocious fire dragon, and attacked Moke at an astonishing speed.

This move was as fast as Inazuma, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, catching everyone off guard. The dog's head, formed from molten lava, resembled a vicious hound from hell, baring its fangs and roaring menacingly with endless killing intent, like a ravenous beast pouncing on Moke as if to devour him alive.

Despite the ferocious attack, Moke showed no fear. His eyes burned like flames as he stared intently at the oncoming lava dog head, a confident smile playing on his lips.

Suddenly, he threw a punch, a punch as powerful as a thunderbolt, containing boundless power, shooting out like a cannonball. In an instant, the force of the punch collided violently with the lava dog's head, producing a deafening roar.

The deafening roar was like the collapse of the universe, so loud it nearly ripped eardrums apart. In the midst of this deafening explosion, the Lava Dog Head was instantly blasted into countless fragments, which flew everywhere like a volcanic eruption.

However, this was only the beginning. The shattered fragments of the lava dog's head did not dissipate; instead, they spun rapidly in the air like countless burning meteors, carrying intense heat as they swept towards Moke once more.

Just as Moke breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet begin to tremble slightly. At first, the tremor was quite mild, and Moke didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just ordinary tectonic movement. However, just a few seconds later, the tremor rapidly intensified, and the ground began to shake violently as if it had been violently struck by a powerful force.

Moke's expression instantly turned serious; he realized the situation was dire. Before he could react, a deafening roar erupted, and the ground exploded like a lit powder keg. Countless rocks and dust were blasted into the sky, creating a cloud of smoke that blotted out the sun. Within this cloud of smoke, billowing lava erupted like a volcanic eruption, spreading rapidly.

Seeing this, Moke knew something was wrong. Without thinking, he immediately leaped into the air like a bird. His body drew a graceful arc in the air before landing steadily high in the sky. Standing in mid-air, Moke looked down and discovered that one of Akainu's feet had turned into lava, continuously spewing scorching magma towards the ground.

It turned out that the ground beneath his feet had suddenly turned into lava because of Akainu's attack. Akainu had clearly been secretly gathering power during the battle, and then unleashed this attack when Moke lowered his guard. This attack was incredibly powerful, not only turning the ground into lava but also putting Moke in an extremely dangerous situation.

Sure enough, Akainu unleashed a new technique! Moke sighed inwardly, and at the same time, his vigilance instantly reached its peak. He stared intently at Akainu, not daring to relax for a moment, fearing that Akainu might use some even more powerful move.

In the blink of an eye, without the slightest hesitation, Moke's arm moved with Inazuma speed, unleashing another powerful punch. The power of this punch was terrifying, far surpassing any of his previous attacks! It seemed driven by the most powerful force in the universe, containing boundless energy, as if it intended to destroy the entire world. This punch, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, hurtled straight towards Akainu like a burning meteor, its speed so great that it was impossible to dodge.

A deafening "Bang!" resounded, like a thunderclap, deafeningly loud. The sound was like a roar from hell, or the collapse of the universe. The surrounding air seemed to be torn apart by this powerful force, crackling and popping, as if the entire space was about to be ripped into pieces by this punch.

The punch landed squarely on Akainu's body, the impact of which was like a tidal wave, unstoppable. Akainu's body was like being hit head-on by a high-speed train, instantly sent flying. His body traced an arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

At the same time, Akainu's body could not withstand such enormous force. A deep wound was forcefully blasted into his body, and blood gushed out from the wound like a spring, splashing onto the ground and forming a pool of scarlet blood, which was shocking to see.

Surprisingly, the moment the wound appeared, Akainu's body suddenly changed. His body began to glow with a red light, a manifestation of his Elementalization ability. Under the powerful influence of Elementalization, the wound, which was originally deep enough to expose the bone, healed rapidly at an astonishing speed, as if by magic. In the blink of an eye, the wound had completely disappeared without leaving even a scar, as if it had never existed at all.

However, although Akainu's body had recovered completely, his heart was far from as calm as it appeared. He stared wide-eyed at Moke, especially at Moke's hand reaching towards the space that had been cracked by his punch. Akainu's brows furrowed, his eyes narrowed sharply, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

Under Akainu's watchful gaze, Moke's hand finally touched the cracked space. In that instant, as if pulled by an invisible force, the corners of Moke's mouth turned up uncontrollably, revealing an extremely excited smile. That smile was filled with longing and anticipation for the unknown, as if he was about to uncover a shocking secret.

At the same time, Moke's eyes became unusually bright, flashing with excitement and exhilaration that drew everyone's attention.

"It really works!" he exclaimed inwardly. Time, space, fate, and cause and effect—these four things are all revered in the myriad worlds. However, time is so elusive, as if it were the most mysterious force in the universe, impossible for people to truly understand and control.

Fate and cause and effect are the same; they are like a fog, elusive and hard to grasp. But when he witnessed Whitebeard's punch create Spatial Rift, he was suddenly startled.

That space, which usually seemed so far away and could only be admired from afar, was now right before his eyes! This discovery was like a wake-up call for him; he realized that those things that seemed so far away were not entirely unattainable.

Given this, what was there for him to hesitate about? He decided without hesitation to clash with Whitebeard, after all, obtaining the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was the top priority. With the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he believed he could make further progress in space exploration.

Moke took a deep breath, as if the whole world had stood still at that moment. He closed his eyes tightly, trying to feel every subtle change in the surrounding space, as if he could hear the sound of time passing.

His body trembled slightly, the powerful force surging within him like a raging wave, seemingly about to break free from his physical constraints. Moke gripped Shusui tightly, feeling its weight and icy touch.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them. With a flick of his arm, Shusui drew a graceful arc in the air, and a sharp slash shot out like Inazuma, flying straight toward Akainu.

Akainu stood firmly in place, his gaze fixed on the rapidly approaching slash, a look of confusion and bewilderment on his face. In his mind, this slash was utterly foolish.

After all, Flying Slash technique cannot be imbued with Armament Haki. And Moke clearly hasn't mastered the advanced techniques of projecting Armament Haki. As a result, such a slash is completely negligible for a Logia- type Akainu.

"Isn't this just a waste of energy?" Akainu thought to himself, a slight sneer even creeping onto his lips. He found Moke's actions not only meaningless but also somewhat ridiculous.

However, just as the slash was about to strike Akainu like Inazuma, an unprecedented fear suddenly surged in his heart, a fear that, like a surging wave, instantly overwhelmed him.

It was a feeling that couldn't be accurately described in words, as if the whole world had frozen in that instant, and time itself seemed to have stopped flowing. Akainu's pupils contracted sharply, as if gripped tightly by an invisible force. His vision was completely occupied by the impending slash, and everything else became blurred.

Akainu's body involuntarily took a step back. Although this step seemed insignificant, it was extremely rare for a strong person like Akainu. His steps were somewhat unsteady, as if he had lost control of his body, and all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

"Not good..." A hint of panic crept into Akainu's voice, a panic that stood out starkly against his otherwise resolute tone. He finally realized that behind this seemingly ordinary slash lay such terrifying power, a power far exceeding his imagination.
