All that could be seen was Akainu's magma fist after transforming into an element, slowly pulling out from Steel Bones Kong's chest, carrying scalding heat and endless destructive force.
The whole process was like a slow-motion nightmare, every second making people feel incomparable torment.
Steel Bones Kong widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
He never thought that Akainu's movements would be so fast, so decisive, as if he had long understood all his weaknesses and accurately grasped that fleeting gap.
At this moment, Steel Bones Kong, whose chest had been ruthlessly pierced by Akainu, turned as pale as paper, even paler than the snow in winter.
He looked like a withered and fragile old man, as if he would fall at any moment and never be able to stand up again.
Surprisingly, despite suffering such a serious penetrating injury to his chest, not a single drop of blood flowed from the wound.
It turned out that Akainu's scorching lava had already cauterized the wound, making it impossible for blood to seep out.
However, in stark contrast to this strange scene, bright red blood kept flowing from the corner of Steel Bones Kong's mouth, like a shocking red line.
"Cough, cough, cough... It seems... I really am old... Cough, cough, cough..." Steel Bones Kong coughed violently, while struggling to raise his trembling left hand, trying to cover his tattered chest.
Each cough was accompanied by more blood gushing from his mouth, staining the front of his clothes red.
"I'm really sorry, Commander Kong. As your former subordinate, at this moment, I have no choice but to end your life with my own hands... Originally, you didn't have to walk down this dead end. Sengoku Fleet Admiral also gave you a chance, didn't you really notice it? But you... why did you insist on going your own way? You have really disappointed us too much!" Akainu's eyes, burning with angry flames, stared closely at Steel Bones Kong, his eyes filled with heartache and deep helplessness.
At this moment, on the sea, everyone, no matter where they were or how they were following this thrilling war, silently stared at the live broadcast screen that kept flashing images.
Steel Bones Kong, the former Fleet Admiral of the Marines, now also holds the important position of Commander-in-Chief of the three armed forces of the current World Government.
Once upon a time, under his excellent leadership, batches of brave soldiers full of justice and sense of mission emerged from the Marines like bamboo shoots after rain.
Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, Tsuru, and other top combat forces of the Marines were all Steel Bones Kong's subordinates, all of whom he brought out single-handedly...
In those years, the Marine force led by Steel Bones Kong was like an indestructible fortress at sea. They always adhered to that obsession with justice in their hearts, and worked tirelessly to maintain the peace and tranquility of this vast sea.
And Steel Bones Kong himself, with his extraordinary wisdom, decisive decision-making, and fearless courage, charged ahead in countless fierce battles, making great contributions to the realization of maritime peace and stability. Those great achievements were deeply engraved in everyone's hearts and became eternal memories.
However, what no one expected was that even when he had reached the critical moment of life and death, Steel Bones Kong still firmly chose to stand on the side of the high and mighty Celestial Dragons.
His move surprised countless people, and made those who had always regarded him as a hero feel heartbroken.
In the end, facing this situation, Akainu had to make a decisive decision and resolutely gave Steel Bones Kong a very disgraceful and embarrassing death.
For the common people living on the sea, Steel Bones Kong was undoubtedly a well-deserved hero.
But who could have expected that such a respected hero would encounter such a miserable and desolate fate at the end of his life.
But this was also the ending he chose himself...
At this moment.
Witnessing this scene in the live broadcast, everyone who was watching this live broadcast sighed with emotion, lamenting the impermanence of the world and regretting the dim end of a generation of heroes.
At the edge of the battlefield, the three Admirals of the Marines stood like three towering mountains.
Behind them followed many Marine Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals, and further back were dense Marine soldiers like a tide.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the center of the battlefield, but the scene was dead silent, and no one made a sound.
Sengoku Fleet Admiral and Tsuru Vice Admiral stood side by side, their faces covered with solemnity and sadness.
That kind of sadness seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, making people can't help but be moved.
On another battlefield, Garp and Dragon, the father and son who were working together to deal with Imu, were also filled with complex emotions at this time.
However, it was precisely this kind of unique somber atmosphere that made Steel Bones Kong feel ashamed and full of shame.
Not long ago, Sengoku had asked him in a seemingly light-hearted tone above Mary Geoise: "If one day the Marines go against the Celestial Dragons, would you choose to stand on the side of the Marines?"
But at that time, Steel Bones Kong only relied on his seniority to harshly reprimand Sengoku without mercy.
He never thought that Sengoku would actually make such a bold move; and he never expected that the Marines would really resolutely go against the Celestial Dragons and even the entire World Government.
After all, in his perception, the Marines did not have the strength to challenge that supreme authority.
Finally, the war in Mary Geoise began, and he learned that the Marines, the Revolutionary Army, and the Dream Exploration Group were jointly attacking Mary Geoise.
Even so, he still firmly chose the side of the Celestial Dragons...
What exactly drove him to make such a choice?
Now he understood, it was because he was reluctant to give up the power in his hands, it was because he coveted the long life like the Five Elders!
In his life, he had already obtained everything that ordinary people could not obtain, and reached the top of the pyramid of power in this world.
After possessing strong strength and unparalleled power, he began to envy and crave the long life granted by Lord Imu.
However, this was the treatment only enjoyed by the Five Elders.
However, this war in Mary Geoise gave him a chance, because the Five Elders would also fall in this war!
As long as the war ends, as long as they win, he will have the opportunity to serve as a Five Elder, thereby obtaining the eternal life granted by Lord Imu!
However, at this moment, all of this was just his delusion...
He looked at Akainu in front of him, and suddenly a sense of relief gushed out in his heart: "Sakazuki, you... did a good job, and you are a qualified Marine Fleet Admiral."
