The Five Elders' Scheme

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit deserved its reputation for having the greatest offensive power. Its destructive force was no weaker than his Magma-Magma Fruit.

Worse, the man before him had developed its powers to a terrifying degree.

The fine currents within it even disrupted the transmission of signals through the human central nervous system.

"Aaaaaah!"

Sakazuki roared.

Under the pressure of the thunderstorm filling the sky, he thrust both fists upward.

Gurgle!

Magma surged. His entire body seemed to become a volcano, erupting with his hottest, most destructive attack.

"Meteor Volcano!!"

Countless fists of molten rock hurtled toward Xia Le in the air like a meteor shower in broad daylight, a staggering sight.

In an instant, Xia Le came under immense pressure too.

Unlike before, Sakazuki's attacks could no longer be ignored. A single hit would leave a wound.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the shadows.

"Isn't it time to move?"

"This is our best chance!"

"Sakazuki's keeping him occupied. He's given us the perfect opening!"

The ground of the deserted island was scorched black and glowing red.

Both men unleashed powerful wide-range attacks, sending torrents of lightning and molten fists at each other.

Even turning into lightning would not protect him from magma this powerful.

No wonder Sakazuki had been able to fight the aging Whitebeard to that extent during the Summit
