"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!"
As Satoru Gojo's Conqueror's Haki enveloped the entire battlefield, he launched an attack at Akainu.
Whoosh!
Akainu knew all too well how terrifying Satoru Gojo was. Even under normal circumstances, he could not easily block this move, much less now that his strength was being suppressed by Conqueror's Haki.
Akainu immediately moved to dodge.
However, the effects of Conqueror's Haki had slowed his movements considerably. With his Observation Haki also restricted, he simply could not evade Satoru Gojo's extremely fast attack.
In desperation, Akainu could only unleash his full strength, coat his upper body in Armament Haki, and cross his arms in front of him, trying to block Satoru Gojo's blow.
Boom!
The attack struck Akainu, instantly sending magma splattering everywhere.
Almost without pause, the attack blasted Akainu backward.
"Pfft!"
The powerful impact made Akainu cough up a mouthful of blood in midair. Before it could reach the ground, the scorching magma evaporated it.
Bam!
Akainu slammed into the ground, leaving a large crater.
"Cough! Cough! Pfft... Bastard!"
Lying in the crater, Akainu reassembled his scattered body and could not stop himself from coughing up another mouthful of blood. His Marine uniform was already in tatters, leaving him looking thoroughly battered.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
"Open fire! Bombard every last one of their positions!"
After routing the World Government's Marine fleet, Esdeath ordered her fleet to bombard the World Government's Army vanguard blocking their way onshore.
Because the vanguard had built its positions too far forward, they were completely exposed within the Dressrosa fleet's firing range. For a time, the bombardment sent dust flying everywhere.
"Reporting to Commander-in-Chief Kong!"
A soldier rushed into the office of Kong, Commander-in-Chief of all the World Government's forces.
"What's the situation? Speak!"
