The alarms of the four Seraphim simultaneously blared with piercing shrieks.
[WARNING! Unknown internal force detected! Structural integrity failing! WARNING!]
"BOOM——!!!"
Whitebeard's fists, wrapped in world-shattering tremor bubbles, didn't strike the enemies directly. Instead, he slammed them into the empty air before him.
In that instant, the entire space shattered like a mirror struck by a heavy hammer, cracking with countless spiderweb-like black fissures.
This was the pinnacle of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit Awakening.
The terrifying shockwaves didn't radiate outward to push the enemy away.
Instead, they triggered a Resonance in the fundamental matter of the targets, bypassing their external defenses to destroy them from the inside out!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Four dull, wet explosions erupted from within the Seraphim's bodies!
S-Hawk's golden pupils abruptly contracted.
S-Snake's pink hair floated without wind.
S-Shark's mechanical fins trembled violently.
S-Bear's paw-like hands instantly stiffened.
Their movements froze simultaneously.
SPLAT!
They all spewed glowing green blood in unison.
Their internal organs had been ruptured by the vibration.
Their limbs shattered completely, bones fractured into dust.
The four collapsed, unable to rise.
Yet, their expressions remained stern and devoid of any pain.
Lying flat on the ground, their bodies began rapid repairs.
What sent chills down everyone's spines was the flames on their backs.
These Seraphim possessed the Lunarian Lineage Factor.
As long as the Divine Fire burned on their backs, their defense was utterly monstrous, and their recovery capability was near-infinite!
SNAP. CRACK.
After a brief pause, they lifted their heads again one by one. Though their limbs remained twisted, the bones were snapping back into place.
It was only a matter of seconds before they fully recovered.
"Gu... rararara..."
For the first time, Whitebeard's laughter carried a tone of gravity.
He watched the four enemies rapidly regenerating within the Divine Fire, his brow furrowing deeper.
These persistent pests are truly annoying.
The Awakened Tremor-Tremor Fruit could resonate with the fundamental essence of all things, allowing one to perceive the frequencies of matter and guide them into destructive resonance.
Though it could shatter internal organs, even this power seemed insufficient against such monstrous defensive and regenerative capabilities.
Akainu's maniacal laughter echoed from afar.
"It's useless! These weapons are the pinnacle of science! As long as the Divine Fire burns, they are immortal! And they grow through combat—they might just bring some unexpected surprises!"
As if to prove his words, the Seraphim evolved in real-time.
S-Snake's pink energy waves shone brighter than before.
S-Shark's broken serrated blade-arms evolved even more terrifying barbed hooks.
Most frightening of all, S-Bear's paw-shaped hands condensed a massive air cannon over ten meters in diameter!
"Ursus Shock!"
Whitebeard's expression tightened, but that was all.
Gripping Murakumogiri, the Strongest Man who had dominated the seas for decades now burned with unprecedented fighting spirit in his eyes.
"Interesting..."
Whitebeard's muscles swelled like inflated balloons, Conqueror's Haki wrapping around his blade, forming a terrifying force field capable of tearing space itself apart.
"Let's see whether your Divine Fire extinguishes first... or my fists smash your heads to pulp first!!!"
The five combatants clashed once more!
The four Seraphim moved like cold killing machines, trapping Whitebeard at the battlefield's center with near-perfect coordination.
S-Hawk's black blade sliced through the air, each strike precisely aimed at Whitebeard's sword-wielding right wrist.
S-Snake's heart-shaped energy waves poured down like torrential rain, constantly draining Whitebeard's stamina.
S-Shark's serrated longsword hacked madly, sending brilliant sparks flying against the supreme grade blade.
S-Bear constantly sought opportunities to unleash mountain-shattering shockwaves.
CLANG!
The moment Whitebeard swung his blade to repel S-Hawk, S-Snake's energy waves penetrated his defenses, blooming like white flowers upon his shoulder.
Yet no blood appeared.
White Divine Fire simply ignited and healed all wounds instantly.
"Gurararara..."
Whitebeard's laughter carried a note of grim determination.
On one side, the artificial monsters of the New Era—feeling no pain, knowing no fear, never tiring.
On the other side, the resurrected Emperor of the Old Era—fueled by the mythical power of the Eight-Faced God, possessing multiple lives.
It was a battle of immortals.
...
In the distance.
Akainu knelt on one knee, magma-like blood sizzling as it dripped to the ground. He stared fixedly at the battlefield, a ferocious grin twisting his lips.
"Well done... just keep him occupied like this..."
Then he produced two vials of red liquid—high-grade stimulants and healing agents from Vegapunk's lab—and quickly drank them.
GULP.
Magma writhed around his chest wound, visibly repairing damaged internal organs.
Akainu could feel his strength returning.
Just five more minutes... no, three minutes would be enough!
"Whitebeard..." Akainu's eyes burned with sick excitement. "This time, I will bury you and your era together!"
At the center of the battlefield, Whitebeard suddenly roared, his Tremor-Tremor power erupting like a tsunami.
BOOM!
Four Seraphim were simultaneously sent flying by the shockwaves, but in the blink of an eye, they restored themselves within the flames and charged forward again.
Time was ticking away, minute by minute.
...
"Pops! We're coming!"
Marco transformed into an Azure Fire Phoenix and shot into the sky, his wings cutting through the smoke of battle.
But before he could reach the main battlefield, a chain entwined with purple venom suddenly shot toward him from the side!
"Don't be in such a hurry, little sparrow~"
Vice Admiral Bastille appeared with a sinister laugh.
His appearance was horrifying.
Having consumed a specific Green Blood combination, his left arm had transformed into a venomous hydra, while his right arm was shiny and hardened like rock.
"Boom!"
The hardened fist collided with the Phoenix's sharp claws.
Marco grunted as he was sent flying backward, shocked to discover he had been silently infected by the purple venom.
It was corroding his regenerative Azure Flames!
"Magellan's poison?!" Marco gritted his teeth. "The Marines really have no shame!"
...
Elsewhere on the battlefield.
"Desert Spada: Kongo Bind!"
Vice Admiral Dalmatian, now twisted by the Green Blood into a user of the Sand-Sand Fruit and Cage-Cage Fruit, launched a sneak attack.
Sand tentacles wrapped around Jozu's knees, turning into iron-hard constraints.
"Got you, Diamond Jozu!"
But the sneer on Dalmatian's face instantly froze.
He stared in horror as the flowing sand chains—imbued with the binding power of the Cage fruit—shattered into pieces upon contact with the diamond surface.
CRACKLE—
They were repelled by a sudden layer of brilliant golden light!
"Is that all you've got?"
Jozu's diamond body refracted rainbow hues in the sunlight.
As his right hand formed a grasping motion, photons condensed rapidly.
ZZZT!
A pure, photon-condensed diamond light sword materialized instantly in his hand.
"I'm the Third Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Dalmatian's pupils constricted sharply. "Impossible! This is... Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit ability?!"
What made his blood run cold was Jozu's left fist.
It suddenly began to glow with a familiar white aura—the terrifying power that could shake space itself!
"A Triple-Devil Fruit User?!"
Dalmatian frantically retreated. "Damn it! Intelligence said he only had Diamond! Since when does a person have three fruits?!"
Jozu roared, his body vanishing in a flash of light to appear directly before the Vice Admiral.
"Tremor-Light: Diamond Impact!"
