A Marine Warship Slips In Quietly

Indeed.

Roya knew very well that Akainu Sakazuki, as a Marine Admiral, possessed formidable strength.

And before this, he had never fully unleashed all of his power.

So...

Roya truly wanted to witness the strongest power of a Marine Admiral.

After all, just as Roya had said.

If this guy did not use his full strength against him, it would be far too boring!

Sure enough.

Sakazuki had indeed been successfully provoked by Roya.

The main reason was that Sakazuki's obsession with defeating and killing Roya was far too deep. Even though he knew this was Roya's provocation, Sakazuki still chose to take the bait.

"Fine! Roya!"

"Don't get too cocky! Since you've chosen death!"

"Then I'll grant you your wish!"

Sakazuki roared.

Immediately afterward.

Sakazuki once again unleashed his Magma-Magma Fruit power, covering the entire ground.

In an instant.

The ground beneath the two of them turned into a thick sea of magma. Just like Kuzan's situation back then, he had forcibly transformed this place into an elemental battlefield.

Then.

From within the magma battlefield, fist-like masses of magma continuously shot out and struck toward Roya.

Of course.

Facing those magma fists, Roya still used his Swordsmanship and Armament Haki to block them one by one.

"Hm?"

"Devil Fruit ability awakening?"

"Interesting!"

Roya said with a smile.

Indeed.

Given the situation, only a Devil Fruit ability awakening could achieve something like this.

After all, Akainu Sakazuki was a Marine Admiral, one of the Marines' highest combat forces. If he could not even achieve Devil Fruit ability awakening, then he truly had no business being a Marine Admiral.

In an instant.

Sakazuki's entire body turned into an element, merging directly with the magma on the ground. In the span of a single breath, he had already appeared behind Roya.

"Roya!"
