Just as Akainu was about to unleash another magma attack on Uya, a strange black flame suddenly appeared on the magma he had unleashed, as Uya pointed a finger.
Although this wisp of black flame possessed an extremely eerie aura, it was inconspicuous, merely a tiny spark compared to Akainu's wildly exploding magma.
"Flame?"
Akainu frowned but didn't pay it any mind. He was a magma man with the Magma-Magma Fruit, capable of burning away even flames, so of course he wasn't afraid of ordinary fire.
However, almost in the next instant, that wisp of black flame suddenly swelled up against the wind, like a drop of flame entering gasoline, Setsuna unleashing a raging black inferno!
The black flames enveloped Akainu almost instantly.
It was only at this moment that Akainu was horrified to discover that his magma could not burn off this black flame, and was even being used as fuel by it!
His magma actually turned into fuel?
How is this possible?!
The pitch-black Flames of Amaterasu Akainu Akainu, and no matter how frantically he spewed out magma and struggled, he could not extinguish the black flames.
Even though he unleashed a massive amount of magma that washed over him, completely enveloping the black flames, the black Flames of Amaterasu instantly scorched through the magma, making it impossible to extinguish.
Even the naval officers who were directing the warships to keep firing cannons from afar finally realized something was wrong.
"General Sakazuki has been set ablaze?!"
"Impossible! Admiral Sakazuki is a Magma-Magma Fruit user, capable of burning away even flames, yet... these flames clearly caused harm to Admiral Sakazuki!"
The naval officers all stared in disbelief at Akainu, who was struggling frantically under the Fire of Amaterasu.
"It's just ordinary magma; how can it be compared to the fire of the sun?"
Uya seemed to hear the incredulous voices of the distant marines. He calmly gazed at the black flames and spoke softly.
Just as Akainu's magma could scorch Ace's flames, the inextinguishable flames of the sun, Fire of Amaterasu, can also counter Akainu's magma, causing damage and making it impossible to resist.
boom!!
Just as Akainu was struggling frantically and seemed about to be burned to death, the Ice World that had been frozen for thousands of meters in the distance finally developed countless cracks and then exploded with a deafening roar.
The figures of Aokiji, Kizaru, and Sengoku appeared in the shattered ice.
Among them, Aokiji didn't seem to be in such a sorry state as Kizaru and Sengoku, but the shock on his face was even greater than that of Kizaru and Sengoku.
He hadn't expected Uya to freeze him in an instant, and he was even more surprised that he couldn't control the ice Uya had unleashed!
As a user of the Ice-Ice Fruit, Aokiji's body is made of ice, so he can naturally manipulate any ice in nature, even turning an entire island into a world of ice and snow.
However, the ice that Uya unleashed contained a strange aura, an aura that was extremely bizarre and indescribable, as if it had transformed the ice into a world, giving it life.
Under this aura, Aokiji was completely unable to affect Uya's ice. If he wanted to get out of the ice layer, he could only rely on his own strength to shatter Uya's Ice World bit by bit.
The strange aura that creates this Ice World is, of course, Natural Energy.
With Uya's current strength recovered to less than 10%, it would be very difficult for him to use a technique of this level on his own, even if it was just a pseudo- Amenominaka. Therefore, Uya forcibly took control of and manipulated the Natural Energy in this world.
" Sakazuki!"
Sengoku initially paid little attention when he saw Akainu engulfed in black flames and spewing magma wildly. However, he soon realized that Akainu wasn't actually using any special technique; he was simply struggling.
Struggling beneath these eerie black flames!
As a magma being with the Magma-Magma Fruit, Sengoku's heart sank to the bottom for being countered by fire. After taking a deep breath, he unhesitatingly struck out with his palm at Akainu.
boom!!!
The impact exploded suddenly, instantly smashing Akainu into countless pieces of magma, which, along with the Fire of Amaterasu, were blasted in all directions by the impact.
Splash!
On a mass of magma where no Fire of Amaterasu was burning, Akainu's figure slowly emerged, but his entire body was covered in burn marks!
Being burned by flames was something Akainu had never experienced before in his life, especially after he ate the Magma-Magma Fruit, making it even more impossible. But now, for the first time, he experienced what his enemy felt when facing him.
Enveloped in terrifying, scorching flames, no matter how much they struggled, they couldn't escape, their bodies covered in burns and wounds.
After Akainu reverted to human form, his body swayed and he almost fell again. Even he was exhausted after being Fire of Amaterasu.
If Sengoku had rescued him any later, he might already be in a coma.
Akainu glanced out of the corner of his eye at the black flames scattered in all directions, still shaken.
Even after being scattered by the impact of the Sengoku, these flames showed no sign of going out, as if they were going to burn the entire Sabaody Archipelago to ashes!
Uya watched this scene indifferently. Seeing the Amaterasu flames scatter across the island, he casually waved his sleeve, and the flames all went out with a whoosh.
Sizzle.
For a moment, only the sizzling sound of burning remained in the room; otherwise, there was complete silence.
In the silence, Uya stood with his hands behind his back, completely disregarding the four people in front of him, effortlessly sweeping across the entire scene from beginning to end.
The naval personnel in the distance were speechless; some warships had even stopped firing. Many naval officers were completely blank-minded, their foreheads covered in cold sweat, and their eyes filled with an indescribable expression.
Is this the strength of Uya, the strongest person in the world?!
The Fleet Admiral and the three Admirals were defeated one by one in the blink of an eye, as easily as if they were being swept away, using their respective most proficient strengths to defeat them.
No one has been able to understand Uya's abilities to this day, especially now, with some people even believing that Uya is like a god, all-knowing and all-powerful!
Is this your true strength?
Although the sentence was a question, there was a strange bitterness in it when Sengoku said it. It was simply unimaginable that Uya was so powerful.
However, Sengoku was, after all, the Fleet Admiral of the Navy. He had traversed the seas for decades and had fought against even the Pirate King Roger, Whitebeard at his peak, and Golden Lion. He even personally suppressed Golden Lion with Garp.
Then, in the next instant, Sengoku took a deep breath, his gaze hardening once more, and said in a deep voice, "In that case, the only option is to join forces..."
Even without Sengoku's reminder, Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu already had this idea.
Uya was simply too strong. The power he had just displayed, whether it was fire, ice, speed, or impact, could overwhelm any one of them individually.
Therefore, only a combined attack can make Uya unable to withstand it.
However, their strength was too great, and such a combined attack with all their might in a small area could easily injure others. This is why they never went all out and attacked at the same time.
But now it seems there's no other way!
The only way is to go all out and give it your all!
Whoosh!!
In the next instant, Sengoku Aokiji, Kizaru Akainu, and Akainu all moved simultaneously, unleashing four terrifying auras that sandwiched Uya in the middle.
And accompanying these four terrifying auras... was the combined attack of the three admirals and the fleet admiral of the Navy, all four of them going all out! (To be continued.)
