Boom!!
A giant fist of crimson magma came crashing down, dragging a wave of heat with it.
The fury in Saint Green's eyes blazed hotter than ever.
He stopped shouting and no longer looked toward the figure who had long since vanished at the end of the avenue. Every ounce of humiliation and rage went into the sword in his hand.
His sword rang sharply.
Hum—
Black-and-red Conqueror's Haki wrapped around the blade, racing and crackling along its edge like lightning.
"Holy Judgment!"
Whoosh!
A concentrated arc of golden sword light surged upward to meet the giant magma fist head-on.
Boom!
The massive fist split straight down the middle, and crimson magma exploded to either side.
Saint Green shattered the paving stones beneath his foot and charged straight through the surging sea of fire, moving so fast he left only an afterimage.
Sakazuki's gaze darkened. He jerked up his magma-formed right arm.
Clang!!
Blade and magma fist collided, sending a blinding burst of fire in every direction.
The avenue beneath them could not withstand the force and split in two.
Saint Green snapped his wrist downward, sending a second slash diagonally toward Sakazuki's neck.
"Did you really think my status alone got me where I am today?"
Sakazuki's upper body instantly turned to magma. The sharp blade skimmed past his cheek.
In the next instant, a torrent of searing magma erupted from beneath their feet.
Crimson Magma Ruins!
Rumble!
Crimson light flooded the entire battlefield.
The paving stones melted into pools of magma. Walls on either side cracked apart, and pillars of lava burst from underground into the air.
The moment Saint Green landed, three magma pillars erupted beneath him at once.
He twisted his wrist and swept his sword across.
Boom!
His sword energy cleaved through the towering magma,
