The massive hull of the Pluton became the stage for a brutal war. The powerful incursion of the Three Admirals forced the core combat forces of the allied forces to step forward and each confront their strongest opponent!
Battlefield 1: Absolute Zero vs. Fire of Purification - Ace vs. Aokiji
The left deck of Pluton has now been transformed into a purgatory of ice and fire.
" Ice Age!" Kuzan knelt on one knee, his palm pressed against the deck. Terrifying icy energy spread wildly in a fan shape, instantly freezing large sections of metal decks, turrets, and even the air into an indestructible glacier! The cold even attempted to penetrate Pluton's interior through the energy pipelines.
" World-Purifying Flame - Fire Wall!" Ace crossed his arms in front of him, and flames as white as the sun's corona erupted forth. It wasn't an explosive impact, but rather formed a solid, pure, and continuously burning wall of flames, steadily resisting the glacier's advance! Where extreme cold and extreme heat clashed, a violent "sizzling" sound was emitted, and a large amount of steam evaporated wildly, instantly condensing into ice crystals in the low temperature and falling down, as if a blizzard of ice and fire had begun.
" Two Thorn Spears!" Kuzan stood up, and countless enormous ice spears, comparable in strength to the armor of a warship, instantly condensed in the air, carrying a chilling killing intent, and rained down on Ace like a storm.
"Divine Fire - Shiranui!" Ace's hands transformed into flaming spears. Instead of retreating, he advanced, his figure rapidly weaving through the gaps between the ice spears. The flaming spears precisely struck the weak points of each ice spear, instantly vaporizing them! He was like a fire god dancing in an ice storm, and wherever he passed, the ice spears shattered into a shower of ice dust.
" Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!" Kuzan took a deep breath and unleashed a massive frost bird, its cry tearing through the air and freezing even the flames in its wake!
" Great Flame Commandment - Flame Emperor - Condensation!" Ace raised his hands high, no longer a gigantic fireball, but an extremely compressed Flame of World Purification, forming a white energy sphere only the size of a basketball, yet so dazzling it was impossible to look directly at! He thrust it out! "My flames purify all illusions! Including your ice!"
The white energy sphere collided violently with the frost giant bird! There was no explosion, but rather an extreme annihilation of energy! Starting from its head, the ice bird was instantly decomposed into the most primitive water molecules and even plasma by the pure high temperature! The white energy sphere continued its advance, finally slamming hard into the ice shield that Kuzan had hastily conjured!
Boom! The ice shield shattered, Kuzan was thrown back several steps. Tiny cracks appeared in the ice armor covering his body, and his breath was tinged with white mist. His gaze towards Ace was filled with solemnity. "He's no longer the brawny kid he used to be... This fire is indeed troublesome."
Ace landed steadily, white flames blazing around him, his eyes sharp. " Kuzan! If your 'justice' is merely cold obedience, then let my flames melt it!"
Battlefield Two: Lava Destruction vs. Rubber Freedom - Luffy vs. Sakazuki
The right wing of Pluton's deck became the point of collision between a lava hell and a rubber storm.
" Hell Hound!" Sakazuki's entire arm transformed into a ferocious lava hound, hurtling straight at Luffy with terrifying force that seemed to tear everything apart! The intense heat caused the surrounding metal to melt!
" Gum-Gum -Gum King Kong Gun!" Luffy enters Gear Fourth Snakeman form, combining extreme speed and power, unleashing a punch wrapped in top-tier Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, a black and red Inazuma, that clashed head-on without backing down!
Thud!!! A terrifying shockwave exploded! Lava collided with Haki, creating a deafening roar! Sakazuki's Hell Hound was blasted in half, scorching lava splashing everywhere, burning large holes in the deck. Luffy's fist was also slightly red and emitting blue smoke, but protected by Haki, he was not seriously burned.
" Great Eruption!" Sakazuki roared, and his massive lava fist slammed down like a volcanic eruption!
" Gum-Gum Black Murder of Crows Cannon!" Luffy's figure flickered like a ghost, instantly unleashing countless fist shadows wrapped in black and red Inazuma. Like a storm, they struck the giant lava fist, riddling it with holes in mid-air, and finally collapsing into a rain of fire!
" Meteor Volcano!" Sakazuki leaped into the air, slamming his fists into the sky, summoning countless enormous lava meteors that indiscriminately crashed down on the entire right wing of Pluton!
" Gum-Gum Giant Thunder Axe!" Luffy a deep breath, his legs growing gigantic and crackling with black and red Inazuma, like a giant axe cleaving the heavens, and slashed upwards with tremendous force! The massive slashing wave tore through space, shattering and scattering the falling lava meteors! The explosion's flames illuminated his figure, making him look like a god of war!
"Why must there always be destruction! Why can't people live freely!" Luffy roared, his eyes flashing with furious flames.
" Absolute Justice needs no reason! The existence of pirates is evil!" Sakazuki's face was cold, his molten body dripping with destructive liquid. "You cancerous growths must be eradicated!"
The two collided violently once again, the destructive power of lava and the free will of rubber clashing wildly, each collision causing the Pluton ship to shake violently!
Battlefield 3: Light-Speed Deception vs. Omniscient Prediction - Sabo (+ Tesoro's Golden Support) vs. Borsalino
Above and in the airspace surrounding the Pluton bridge, a battle of speed and wits is unfolding.
"Speed is power~ Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?" Kizaru's figure transformed into a golden flash, almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, kicking towards Sabo's head from an incredible angle.
" Omniscient Domain - Prediction!" Data streams flashed wildly in Sabo's pupils. He wasn't seeing the future, but rather, by calculating the trajectory of light particles, energy fluctuations, and the opponent's habits, he predicted Kizaru's appearance point a mere 0.01 seconds in advance! Dragon Claw Fist, covered in Ryuo Haki, precisely blocked!
Clang! The golden light clashed with the dragon claw, producing a metallic clang! Sabo was thrown back several meters by the immense impact, deep trenches being ripped into the deck, but he successfully blocked the attack!
" Yasakani no Magatama ~" Kizaru's figure disappeared again, reappearing in the distance, his hands crossed, and countless dazzling light bullets poured down like a torrential rain, covering a very wide area.
"Golden Barrier - Refraction!" Tesoro roared, manipulating a large amount of gold to form a massive, prism-covered golden shield above Sabo! The light projectiles struck the shield, but instead of exploding, they were cleverly refracted and deflected into the surrounding space!
"Oh~ what a troublesome ability~" Kizaru tilted his head, his tone still teasing, but his eyes became more serious.
" Ame no Murakumo!" He conjured a sword of light in his hand and moved at the speed of light once more, his swordplay cunning and ruthless!
" Dragon Claw - Wave Slash!" Sabo was completely focused, pushing his Omniscient Domain to its limit. Every strike of his Dragon Claw Fist precisely cut off Kizaru's lightsaber trajectory, even attempting to catch the instantaneous physical form! The battle between the two turned into a collision of countless afterimages, moving at extreme speed. Sword energy and claw winds flew everywhere, leaving deep marks on the Pluton bridge.
Tesoro constantly manipulated the golden transformation form, sometimes forming obstacles to hinder Kizaru's movement path, and sometimes turning into a mirror to interfere with his light energy attacks, perfectly playing the role of support.
"Two against one~ That's really unsportsmanlike~" Kizaru said, but his actions didn't dare to be careless at all. Sabo's prediction and Tesoro's Golden Control had caused him a lot of trouble.
Battlefield Core: Spacetime Weaving - Allen Controls the Overall Situation
Allen wasn't confined to one battlefield; he stood near the Pluton Core, countless timelines shifting within his silver eyes. He was the one truly in control of the entire situation!
As Aokiji's chilling aura attempted to freeze the Pluton Engine over a large area, Allen lightly tapped his finger. " Time Acceleration - Local Thermodynamics!" The particle motion in that area instantly intensified, the temperature soared, and the frost rapidly melted and evaporated.
As Akainu's lava was about to engulf a key emplacement, Allen's gaze sharpened. " Time Stripping - Matter Decay!" The lava seemed to have experienced thousands of years in an instant, its energy plummeting and solidifying into black volcanic rock, greatly reducing its power.
When Kizaru attempted to bypass Sabo at supersonic speed and directly attack the control room, Allen made a gesture with both hands. "Space-Time Fold: Mud Swamp!" The space in front of Kizaru instantly became incredibly viscous, and moving at light speed felt like being stuck in mud, allowing Sabo to catch up and intercept him in an instant.
He even distracted himself by constantly using Time Acceleration to help his own personnel recover their strength and Time Deceleration to slow down the infiltration speed of enemy CP0 agents.
His presence was like an invisible net, subtly influencing the balance of the entire battle, making every fatal attack by the Three Admirals and CP0 seem almost impossible, and ensuring that every defense and counterattack by the Allied forces was perfectly timed.
The Three Admirals also keenly sensed this invisible constraint, regarding Allen as a huge threat that must be eliminated first! The battle intensified! The balance of victory swayed subtly in the extreme interplay of strength, speed, intelligence, and time!
