"Hell Hound!"
Lava churned through Akainu's right arm as it abruptly stretched out.
With the heat of magma and the explosive force of an erupting volcano, his punch shattered a small pirate ship.
The survivors aboard screamed as they plunged into the sea.
Before they could struggle, the pirate ships following behind plowed over them.
Akainu's expression remained cold.
"Damn it, there are too many! In that case, one more time!
Red Lotus: Meteor Volcano!"
He raised both arms, turning them into lava. Their deep color resembled a volcano gathering power on the verge of eruption.
The next second, the volcano erupted.
Countless enormous magma fists shot upward, soaring into the clouds.
Shhk—
A pointed blade pierced Akainu's chest.
But what flowed from the wound was not blood, but magma.
Under that terrifying heat, even a blade coated in Armament Haki quickly turned red.
"You, you... monster!"
The man behind Akainu trembled as he tried to pull his blade back.
Before he could move, magma surged from Akainu's body and engulfed him in an instant.
Hiss—white smoke rose.
Akainu could not be bothered with a small fry. His attack still went off.
The clouds overhead suddenly turned red, more brilliant than clouds ablaze at sunset.
"Quick, get out of the way! That monster's doing it again!"
An uproar broke out among the pirates.
But they had neither organization nor discipline. Pirates crowded every direction, and soon they were jammed together, unable to move.
Judgment from above had already arrived.
A succession of popping sounds rang out as the clouds were torn apart. Densely packed giant magma fists fell from the sky like meteors.
With a piercing roar, the fists exploded amid the mass of pirates.
Each fist was powerful enough to sink a pirate ship and burn it to nothing.
