Bang
Seeing Susanoo wielding the Exploding Flame Zanpakutō and slashing down, Sakazuki's pupils constricted slightly, and a hint of shock and solemnity flashed in his eyes.
In a critical moment.
He unleashed the Hellhound technique with his right fist, piercing through Susanoo's fist, and then delivered a simple uppercut with his left arm from top to bottom.
However, in the instant his left arm was raised high, his fist and forearm molten together, forming a giant magma dog. It opened its scorching, blood-red maw, wrapped in Armament Haki, and used its magma fangs to bite at Susanoo's Ryūjin Jakka: Exploding Flame Zanpakutō.
"Inugami Guren!"
...
A vicious lava hound that melts and crushes everything.
The Exploding Flame Zanpakutō cuts through everything scorched by the flames.
Bang
Swish
When Rosen and Sakazuki's powers intertwined, a powerful pillar of crimson-gold light immediately erupted, piercing the earth, tearing through the surface, soaring to the dome, and blasting through the sea of clouds.
As the imposing pillar of fire expanded, the sea of clouds atop the island was also torn open, creating an ever-growing gap. The island's surface, unable to bear the weight, rapidly melted its rock, forming a scorched deep well.
When the pillars of fire, stretching from the clouds to the earth, dissipated, a giant pit, resembling both a deep well and a basin, appeared on the island, filled with a red liquid that looked like magma.
Sakazuki, on the other hand, knelt on one knee in the magma-like liquid, using his magma-covered arm, imbued with powerful Haki, as a shield to desperately defend against Susanoo's Exploding Flame Zanpakutō.
"Susanoo: Jōkaku Enjō!"
Standing inside Susanoo's body, Rosen looked at Sakazuki, who had been forced to kneel by his pressure. He raised Ryūjin Jakka in his hand and then gently slashed down from a distance.
Although Ryūjin Jakka was inside Susanoo, when this slash came down, the Exploding Flame Zanpakutō that had been firmly suppressing Sakazuki instantly erupted with raging flames, as if a five-fingered fiery mountain had flown out of thin air from the Exploding Flame Zanpakutō of Susanoo and pressed down on Sakazuki.
Boom
The basin, which had been formed by the melting of countless rocks and was filled with a sea of liquid lava, expanded again, growing in all directions while collapsing deep into the earth.
At the same time, as a large number of rock layers could not withstand the high temperature of the Ryūjin Jakka and continued to melt, the sea of magma inside the basin became increasingly larger as the basin expanded.
If the initial volume of magma was a pond, it is now a lake.
However, as the Flaming Palm Volcano became increasingly violent, the magma transformed from the rock strata began to be unable to withstand the explosive flames of the Ryūjin Jakka, and gradually turned into something resembling charcoal or even ash.
It looked as if it was about to burn the earth into magma and then burn the magma to ashes.
bang bang bang bang bang
One loud bang after another rang out, like thunder gods beating drums, echoing through the sky.
The earth shook violently, as if the ground was trembling and mountains were collapsing.
"ah!"
Facing this attack head-on, even someone as strong and resolute as Sakazuki couldn't help but let out a painful growl after enduring the burning and explosion of the Flaming Palm Volcano.
Fortunately, he was a Magma-Magma Fruit user, with extremely high resistance to fire, and he had also honed his Haki to the extreme. In addition, he had a high defense and high health physique, which allowed him to avoid being completely destroyed by Susanoo: Jōkaku Enjō.
It was precisely because of the power of the Magma-Magma Fruit that he decisively transformed into lava a second before Rosen could unleash the flames of the Jōkaku Enjō and descend a volcanic mountain. Then, like a pillar of magma erupting from a volcano, he endured the burning and attacks of the explosive flames while rushing towards the outer perimeter of the Flaming Palm Volcano at an extremely fast speed.
hiss
At this moment, Sakazuki, now in his elemental form, is like a lava serpent traversing the underground rock layers and sea of magma. First, he bursts out of the exploding Flaming Palm Volcano in one go, and then melts through the thick, hard rock layers beneath the island one by one before finally returning to the surface.
However.
Having melted through the earth and returned to the island, breathing in the first breath of fresh air, he should have been burning with excruciating pain after enduring the flames of 6,000 degrees Celsius, but instead felt a cool sensation in his heart.
Without even turning his head to look, he already knew what Rosen was doing simply by using his Observation Haki to foresee the future.
Being able to foresee the future does not mean being able to change it.
Especially when the opponent can also foresee the future, or even see further ahead, the future can only be observed from afar and cannot be changed.
Rewind three seconds.
After Rosen wielded Susanoo and shattered the island's land with a single strike, blasting Sakazuki into the island's core, he did not swing his sword again. Instead, he directly dispelled the Exploding Flame Zanpakutō, which was infused with the power of Ryūjin Jakka, from Susanoo's hand.
boom
He unleashed an even greater aura of power, repairing the arm of Susanoo that had been pierced by the Hellhound, and elevating Susanoo to its complete form.
He transformed into a majestic and imposing martial god, standing 250 meters tall, with his head reaching the sky and his feet firmly planted on the ground.
Immediately afterwards.
Susanoo's left arm extends forward, and Armament Haki surges forth like a purple torrent, gathering in its hand to form a powerful bow. Then, its right hand extends two fingers and places them on the bowstring.
hiss
With a surge of power in his arms, the powerful bowstrings were drawn back one by one.
The moment the bowstring was drawn to its fullest extent, the purple light symbolizing Armament Haki and the golden flames symbolizing Ryūjin Jakka converged in Susanoo's hands.
Boom
In an instant, a Haki Flame Arrow, formed from Armament Haki and 6000-degree blazing flames, condensed and was placed on the Haki Great Bow.
Armament Haki forms the bow, and Ryūjin Jakka the arrow.
Just as Rosen was perfectly combining the Arms-Arms Fruit with Haki, Sakazuki, who had been cut down to the island's core and used his Magma-Magma Fruit-formed molten lava body to break through the layers of rock beneath the surface, returned to the surface.
And the position where he broke through the ground was exactly in the direction that Susanoo's arrow was pointing.
Its front foot burst out of the ground, while its back foot turned away from Susanoo's powerful fire arrow.
That's why.
Sakazuki was burned by an explosion of flames reaching 6000 degrees Celsius, yet he still felt drenched in sweat and chilled to the bone.
Before he could make any move, Rosen had already manipulated Susanoo, releasing his grip on the Haki Flame Arrow and the bowstring.
hold head high
The arrow was released from the bow, and the first sound was not the sharp sound of the arrow piercing the air, but the powerful vibration of the bowstring, which triggered a deep roar like the cry of a dragon.
call out
Almost simultaneously, a domineering fiery arrow, like a shooting star, tore through the atmosphere and sky ahead, carrying a sharp edge that could pierce through everything and a high temperature that could burn everything, and in an instant it flew to Sakazuki's front.
He didn't use his elemental transformation ability to turn his body into magma in an attempt to avoid it, because the size of this Majestic fire arrow was too large, enough to engulf his entire body, and even if he had transformed into an elemental form in advance, he wouldn't have been able to dodge it.
Left with no other choice.
He could only twist his body and try to throw a punch, using the Hellhound to directly strike the domineering flaming arrow flying from behind, but his every move had already been seen through by Rosen.
Sakazuki's Hellhound failed to hit the incoming Flame Arrow, which was flying like a meteor. Instead, it was hit by Rosen's arrow, engulfing him and sending him flying backward like a cannonball.
Bang
This flight covered a distance of several kilometers.
It was the same mountain that had caught Sakazuki when Rosen blasted him away with a Taimatsu.
This time, however, the mountain couldn't support him.
rumble
When the domineering fire arrow blasted him away and pinned him to the towering mountain on the island, the massive fire arrow, as huge as a pillar of fire, immediately burst into a burst of golden light that shone brightly in the sky. It then transformed into a huge fireball that spun violently and expanded, destroying and burning everything within its range.
To the uninformed, Rosen's arrow would seem as if it had shot down a fiery star from the sky above the Grand Line and crashed onto an island in the New World.
As the exploding fireball expanded, in the instant a mountain hundreds of meters high was covered by the expanding fireball, everything from the foot of the mountain to the mountain body—rock layers, soil, trees, and sand—was burned to ashes and wiped out into thin air.
All that remained were wisps of ashes and a charred, blackened figure plummeting straight down from mid-air.
snap
The moment the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground rang out, Akainu, the strongest and most resolute of the three admirals of the Marine, was heard.
They were already prostrate on the ground.
