Kuzan clenched his fist, a tear unknowingly sliding down his cheek. He had already sensed that Master Zephyr's life force was fading away.
Borsalino, who was still entangled with Joshua, also stopped at this moment, and with a Light Refraction, he appeared at the edge of the lava lake.
As he watched Professor Zephyr's body slowly sink into the lava, he couldn't help but recall his days at the naval training camp.
"Rest in peace, Professor Zephyr!"
He also saw Vic emerging from the lava lake.
And Joshua, who came rushing from the thunder.
Borsalino did not leave, because he knew very well that he had to keep Joshua and Vic occupied, otherwise the navy would face a crushing defeat.
"Speed is power..."
Flash Kick appeared instantly on Vic's temple, striking without mercy.
Boom! Vic's surface was covered with an extremely hard layer of moissanite armor, and it was even mirror-finish moissanite, which withstood Borsalino's Flash Kick.
The next second, Borsalino Light Transfer into mid-air. " Yasakani no Magatama!"
"Don't be so arrogant, Borsalino! Magnetic Field Rotation - Immovable King!" Joshua instantly used a strong magnetic field to deflect the light bullet to another position.
Boom boom boom...
"Tit for tat! Take this! Great Bomber!" Vic flew into the air in sand form and instantly sprayed dense Dyna Stone crystals in all directions.
Borsalino then clearly saw Vic's ability. " Sand-Sand Fruit? No... this isn't just the Sand-Sand Fruit, it's the Rock-Rock Fruit!"
Boom boom boom...
A series of fireballs exploded in the surrounding air, covering an area with a radius of more than ten kilometers.
Although it didn't have the same explosive power as the one that killed Zephyr, its density and duration were still astonishing.
Even Borsalino had to fully enter his Elemental Flash form, leaping left and right and moving up and down amidst the overwhelming explosions.
Minutes later, Borsalino emerged from the blast zone.
However, as soon as he escaped the explosion zone, he encountered the Thunder Kirin coming straight at him.
"Aaaaaah! Heavenly Flash!"
The elemental attack, like a needle striking a wheat awn, melted or magnetized the surrounding environment.
" Ruby Laser Cannon!" Vic conjured a super Ruby Laser Cannon from the center of the explosion, and a laser beam wreathed in Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki shot towards Borsalino's back.
Borsalino was instantly caught in a pincer attack and had no choice but to abandon the fight, quickly using Light Refraction to reposition himself.
The laser cannon instantly penetrated the atmosphere and extended hundreds of kilometers into outer space before losing its lethality.
The Thunder Kirin destroyed a large part of the island; from the sky, it looked as if a giant beast had devoured nearly a tenth of Lulusia Island.
On the other side.
Doria, who had fled, did not stay on Lulusia Island, but went directly to the Buster Call fleet.
The Momonga looked at the disheveled Doria with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, but he wasn't overly wary.
"Your navy almost got me killed!" Doria preemptively struck, then began to sow discord. "You'd better send another Admiral, otherwise I'm not going to my death. Zephyr was killed by them, you'd better watch yourselves!"
"What?! Teacher Zephyr is dead! No way, I don't believe it..." The Momonga exclaimed in shock.
The CP0 officers on deck also looked grim.
Just then, an officer in charge of guarding the Vivre Card ran over, sweating profusely, and shouted in disbelief, " Vice Admiral Momonga, Zephyr's Vivre Card has burned out!"
"..." The Momonga's forehead veins bulged.
Just then, Doria, who was walking towards the cabin, suddenly attacked Blueno, who was waiting for orders from CP9. In the blink of an eye, Blueno was knocked unconscious, and flames burst from his feet as he fled into the distance.
A few seconds later, the Momonga and CP0, as if waking from a dream, were also left in a state of confusion by this sudden situation.
One of the CP0 members leaped into the air, roaring, " Doria! What do you think you're doing? Release him immediately! Are you trying to declare war on the World Government?"
"Hahaha, I'm not playing with you guys anymore." Doria casually launched a barrage of rockets.
Boom boom boom... Amidst the explosions and fireworks, he had already fled more than ten kilometers.
"You're asking for death!" The CP0 officer roared in mid-air, utterly exasperated.
at the same time.
The Five Elders of Mary Geoise also learned of Zephyr's death, Doria's rebellion, and CP9's abduction of Blueno through the Navy and CP channels.
"Damn it! These sea dregs can't be trusted!" Saint Shepherd Ju Peter roared in fury.
"No, that Rock-Rock Devil Fruit User can create Dyna Stone rocks is too dangerous. I need to move out immediately." Saint Saturn knew things were spiraling out of control.
"Agreed. When the time comes, just summon us directly. We must completely crush this Liberator Organization." Saint Nusjuro also understood that this was not the time to hesitate.
"I'll go with you." Saint Mars quickly stepped out of the Room of Authority and entered his beast form— Itsumade— in the small square.
Saint Saturn leaped onto the back of the giant bird, and then Saint Mars, in his giant bird form, took to the air and soared towards the Lulusia Kingdom.
The three Saints, Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, who remained in Mary Geoise, quickly notified the Holy Knights and CP0 members, urging them to be vigilant and prevent the Liberator Organization a surprise attack on the Holy Land.
at the same time.
The battle on Lulusia Island has also entered a fierce stage.
In particular, the battle between Kong, Tokikake, and Noah turned the central area of the island into a large basin.
"Huff huff..." Kong, who was older, had already shown a clear decline in physical strength.
After blocking Noah's fist Tokikake a single strike, Jiaji became increasingly anxious. He could sense that Zephyr's presence had vanished, and Borsalino was currently engaged in battle with two powerful enemies, while he was struggling to break through.
Noah seemed to have noticed Kong's fatigue and Tokikake's impatience; he was ready to deliver a fatal blow.
From the very beginning of the battle, Noah exploited the enemy's preconceived notions by scattering several types of slow-acting, highly toxic spores into the surrounding air.
In particular, Kong, who had fought him for two days and one night, had his lungs infested with a large number of spores.
Clearly, Kong Tokikake didn't realize the seriousness of the situation. They both assumed Noah was Devil Fruit User the Steel Fruit and didn't suspect the possibility that the air had been poisoned.
As for Observation Haki, although Kong possesses Observation Haki that allows him to Future Sight 3 seconds, he obviously has no way of predicting such highly poisonous spores that can lie dormant for several days.
The sun is setting.
The setting sun was like blood.
Noah glanced at Kong, then activated the Strength Fruit, increasing the amplification factor to the maximum of one hundred times.
"?" Kong seemed to have witnessed something terrifying, quickly turning his head and roaring, " Tokikake careful..."
boom!
A headless corpse stood amidst the ruins, still gripping a sharp blade in its hand, as if on guard against something.
Noah appeared behind the headless corpse, then slowly turned to look at Kong: "Your death star is flashing."
Kong's muscles bulged, and he threw a punch in fury. "Unforgivable!"
However, the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if millions of ants were gnawing at his lungs. Kong turned pale. "Pfft..."
" Hokuto Burst Fist!"
In an instant, terrifying Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki surged into Kong's body, and the potent poison erupting in his lungs rendered him powerless to resist.
Noah appeared behind him, his back to the already stiffened Kong: "You are dead."
Boom! Kong's body suddenly swelled up and then exploded into a shower of blood.
A specially designed Live Broadcast Den Den Mushi, hidden high in the sky, broadcasts this scene simultaneously to projection Den Den Mushi around the world.
The whole world fell silent.
The kings and nobles of the Affiliated Nation, in particular, were filled with terror.
The Fleet Admiral and the Admiral Candidate were instantly killed by Noah the Liberator with a single punch.
