Doomsday

"Meteor Volcano!!"

From behind the towering wall came Akainu's bone-chilling voice.

As he raised his right fist, clusters of crimson magma, billowing thick black smoke, continuously shot into the sky.

The pirates on the ice had long noticed the strange activity on Akainu's side.

"It's Akainu! What is he doing?"

Everyone watched this scene in confusion.

But they soon learned the answer.

High in the distant sky, a vast crimson glow gradually appeared.

The red light filled the sky above the entire inner bay, like a vivid, fiery sunset.

Then, before everyone's terrified and stunned eyes,

specks of fire lit up, drawing closer and closer, growing from small to large.

A violent whistling filled the sky.

It was as though train after train were hurtling past them at high speed.

The pirates' bodies shook uncontrollably, their eyes filled with despairing terror.

"It's... it's volcanic bombs! Magma meteors!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Massive fists formed of crimson magma, trailing long fiery tails, howled down from the sky and smashed into the ice of the inner bay.

Rumble!

Huge sections of ice exploded, destroyed, crushed, and vaporized without resistance by that terrifying, volcanic force.

Wave after wave of pirates and prisoners were bombarded by the giant magma fists.

Before they could even scream, they were blasted into scraps and burnt into charcoal.

Even more people fell into the water as the ice melted.

But the frigid seawater had also been boiled by the magma, bubbling violently.

The people who fell into the sea immediately let out utterly agonized screams as they were boiled alive by the scalding water.

Upon the boiling sea,

one screaming figure after another was cooked in the boiling water, their skin turning bright red as large blisters rapidly rose across their bodies.

Soon, the blisters swelled and burst, exposing bloody wounds to the seawater.

"Ahhh! Kill me! Kill me! I can't take it anymore! Ahhh!"

"Help! Pops! Save me! I don't want to die! It hurts so much!"

The people watching this inhuman scene through the Image Transponder Snail broadcast all turned deathly pale, their throats churning and their legs trembling.

Many simply shut their eyes, turned around, and vomited.

The inner bay had become a true scene of doomsday.

It was practically a living hell!

Watching all of this unfold, Whitebeard's towering body trembled slightly, and the fingers gripping his Pheasant Blade clenched so tightly they turned white.

He wanted to save every pirate in the inner bay.

But his power could not accomplish that.

So Whitebeard threw back his head and roared.

"Bullet, brat!!"

"Do something!"

As he roared, Whitebeard, overcome with grief and fury,

leaped high from one of the few remaining patches of ice, hanging in midair.

His right fist had already slammed viciously toward Akainu's position!

"Akainu! I'll kill you!"

Rumble!!

The shockwave Whitebeard unleashed in rage was incomparably fierce.

Like a roaring tsunami, it poured down from the sky with overwhelming force.

Akainu grinned, revealing a cruel smile.

Facing the powerful shockwave crashing toward him, he also drove out his magma-burning right fist!

"The Whitebeard Pirates will be completely erased from this world today!!"

"Hell Hound!"

The compressed magma fist, crimson as blood, smashed forward and collided with the violent shockwave.

Rumble!!

At the edge of the plaza, it seemed as if the heavens and earth had collapsed in an instant.

The ground cracked open with countless massive fissures.

Large numbers of Marine soldiers screamed in terror as they tumbled into the bottomless crevices.

A violent hurricane swept in all directions, sending hundreds and thousands of Marine soldiers flying.

At the same time, Akainu's pupils contracted sharply.

The crimson magma fist burst apart inch by inch.

Even his body exploded into a rain of magma and fire that howled down across the plaza.

Many Marines were scorched into screaming as they collapsed, rolling and struggling across the ground amid endless wails.

Boom!

In one corner of the plaza, another earth-shattering explosion rang out.

A savage, violent figure charged wildly across the ground.

Everyone in his path, friend or foe, was sent flying with repeated impacts, their bones cracking like firecrackers.

"Yasakani no Magatama!"

Dozens of meters overhead, Kizaru crossed his hands and condensed countless light bullets, firing them wildly at the rampaging figure below like a torrential storm.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Clusters of golden light bullets shot down in a barrage, blanketing the ground below with devastating fire.

The light bullets were immensely powerful. Every beam of golden light was no weaker than the laser beams fired by Pacifistas.

Terrifying explosions immediately erupted across the ground.

Yet even beneath such a dense barrage of light bullets, only a small portion struck the man below.

They were then blocked by an invisible armor as thick and heavy as a city wall.

Rumble!

Countless cracks split the ground across a hundred-meter radius as Bullet's demonic figure stomped the earth apart.

He shot into the sky like a comet and, before Kizaru's furious and shocked eyes, drove a fist into Kizaru's hastily raised arms!

Bang!

A muffled sonic boom erupted. Kizaru only felt an overwhelming force crushing down from Bullet's fist, one he could not resist at all.

A great spray of blood burst from between his teeth.

Kizaru groaned, his body transforming into a thick laser beam that streaked backward like a golden sword of light piercing heaven and earth.

Before countless stunned eyes, the towering Justice Fortress of Marine Headquarters was struck by that golden blade of light and then exploded across a vast area.

"Hahahaha! Kizaru, I'll kill you outright next time!"

Bullet laughed loudly, kicking repeatedly through the air and bursting wave after wave of air pressure. In the blink of an eye, he appeared not far in front of Whitebeard.

"Whitebeard, after all these years, you really have not changed at all. You still feel sad over the cries of a few weaklings."

"Only the strong can survive in the New World. Trash and garbage like these can be replaced after one batch dies. Why waste your strength on them?"

Bullet's body landed on the bow of the Hell Battleship.

Now, beneath the bombardment of Akainu's Meteor Volcano,

this thousand-meter giant warship had also been ravaged beyond recognition.

Part of its hull had even broken apart and sunk into the sea.

Many pirates and prisoners stood or lay atop the shattered hull.

The ice had melted under the magma, and the seawater had been boiled.

Those closest to the warship immediately treated it as a place to stand.

However, although they had climbed aboard,

some of them were covered in blisters, their bodies red all over as they lay on the ground barely clinging to life, with little time left to live.

"Cut the nonsense! Use your power to send everyone onto the plaza! I know you can do it!"
