A roar shook the heavens.
Endless magma erupted from Sakazuki's body.
The earth trembled violently.
Seething magma swept over everything, filling the entire landscape in barely a second.
Everywhere the eye could see, magma erupted.
Whitebeard's children bore the brunt of the violent impact, instantly vanishing beneath the magma and losing all signs of life.
Only a bird of blue flame was still struggling.
But Sakazuki had no time to deal with him, because Whitebeard's attack had already arrived.
Bzzzt! Crack!
A vibrating hum rang out, followed by the sound of the atmosphere shattering.
The earth split as countless tremors erupted from below.

Moving as swiftly as wind and thunder, he slashed at Sakazuki.
Sakazuki watched Whitebeard charge toward him, radiating fury.
He brought his clenched fists together, then pulled them apart, forming a magma blade over three meters long.
It instantly solidified, coated in Armament Haki and wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, and swung to meet Whitebeard's blade.

Metal rang against metal, and the ground behind them cracked inch by inch.
Their two coatings of Conqueror's Haki collided, unleashing countless bolts of black-and-purple lightning in every direction.
They struck the surrounding buildings and ground, blasting out countless craters.
Everything they struck was obliterated.
The two men strained against each other's blades, their faces twisted fiercely and killing intent churning endlessly in their eyes.
Strength surged through their bodies, and bulging veins throbbed beneath their
