The instant he entered the Netherworld Domain, Akainu felt discomfort. That cold, deathly energy constantly eroded his elemental body and Haki. Though his formidable strength allowed him to withstand it by force, it was undoubtedly a continuous drain. But Akainu's close-quarters combat skills were also among the Navy's finest!
"Hell Hound: Multi-Strike!" Akainu's fists blurred, his magma fists coated in top-tier Armament Haki raining down on Lü Bu in a furious storm! Every punch carried heat that could burn mountains and boil seas, and strength that could shatter mountain ranges!
"Just what I wanted!" Lü Bu roared, whirling the Sky Piercer like a wheel, his sweeping halberd techniques incomparably overbearing! "Overlord: Dance of the Gods and Demons!"
Halberd afterimages and fist afterimages collided furiously!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Boom-!!!
Every collision unleashed deafening metallic clangs and explosions of energy! Netherworld energy and magma power clashed wildly, magma sometimes vaporizing the black energy, the black energy sometimes devouring the magma. They fought from the sea's surface into the sky, then from the sky onto the icefield. Wherever they passed, the ice melted, only to be instantly frozen by deathly energy, leaving devastation everywhere. Akainu's punches were unmatched in their ferocity, carrying the Navy's iron-blooded discipline and destructiveness; Lü Bu's halberd techniques were domineering and unrestrained, brimming with the ultimate expression of individual will and a lust for destruction.
Akainu seized an opening, knocking the Sky Piercer aside with one punch while driving the other straight at Lü Bu's center-"Dog Biting Crimson Lotus!" Magma condensed into a vicious hound's head, its enormous jaws opening to bite Lü Bu!
Lü Bu remained utterly unruffled. Unable to draw the Sky Piercer back in time, he clenched his left fist, compressing dark-purple Netherworld power to an extreme, and punched out to meet it-"Netherworld Shattering Fist!"
