Chapter 78 - Izo's Death!

"Oh no! Akainu is here!"

"Damn it, we can't stop his magma at all! Ahhh!"

Sizzle!

The terrifying red figure was like the God of Death on the battlefield. Not an inch of ground remained intact in his wake. The extremely hot lava incinerated everything. Under such power, whether it was shields or swords, they would melt and disintegrate the moment they came into contact with it.

Facing this red lava, countless pirates wanted to block its movement, but only by paying the price of their lives could they slow it down by a tiny bit… or perhaps not even a single bit.

This was the power of the most destructive Mag-Mag Fruit in the world.

"Admiral Akainu!"

"Kill all these pirates!"

Amidst the charging shouts of the Marine soldiers, Akainu's entire body transformed into lava and he charged from the breach in the encirclement wall towards Marineford land. The pirates in front of him, whether millions, tens of millions, or hundreds of millions, were all incinerated into charcoal by the magma.

With resolute killing intent in his eyes, Akainu's figure was unstoppable. In a blink of an eye, he was about to meet Ace and Luffy.

"Bearing the most evil bloodline in the world, you must die here today. No one can save you."

Fishman Karate: Spear Wave!

A massive stream of water in Jinbe's palm transformed into a sharp spear and shot out towards Akainu's path. However, the latter didn't even look. He just unleashed a surge of magma from his body, forming a dog head on his left arm, which fiercely bit at the spear wave of water.

Sizzle!

Jinbe's water spear wave collided with the lava dog head. In an instant, the water spear wave was completely evaporated, and the magma dog head only shrunk by half. It then fiercely bit at the surrounding pirates, instantly turning two unlucky pirates into ashes.

"His Devil Fruit is too troublesome. Damn it, I can't stop him."

Seeing this, Jinbe's heart trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His attack actually failed to hinder Akainu's movement in the slightest.

Swish!

A figure swept past Jinbe.

"Crocodile!"

Desert Spada!

Crocodile's expression turned fierce. He pushed his physical speed to the limit, manipulating a large amount of sand in his hand to form a giant sword, which instantly sliced through Akainu's body.

"It worked!"

The pirates cheered excitedly.

"Admiral Akainu!"

The Marine soldiers' expressions changed in surprise.

Renji also shifted his gaze from Bullet in the pit, looking towards Akainu, who was preparing to kill Ace.

If he remembered correctly, in the original plot, Akainu was severely injured, and only with the cover of Marco, Vista, and many other commanders was he barely stopped. But even with such interception, Ace still went back and sacrificed himself.

In the current situation, Marco died early, and now the Whitebeard Pirates' high-tier combat power only consists of Jozu. And although Akainu took two full-power attacks from Whitebeard, his physical condition should be much better compared to the original plot.

So… since Blackbeard and Luffy could arrive early, will Shanks also arrive early next?

Or will Kaido, Big Mom, or a new unknown force join the battle?

Thoughts flashed through Renji's mind. Anyway, no matter what, Ace might die, but Renji thought it was impossible to kill Luffy as well.

So, with his current physical condition, should he use that Lv. 6 Conqueror's Haki storage card?

Renji was just thinking when Akainu's body was pierced by Crocodile's Desert Spada. The former showed no expression of pain on his face, while the latter frowned, secretly thinking something was wrong.

Did he use his Logia elementalization to dodge my slash? After all, I used Armament Haki with this sword.

As a Logia user himself, Crocodile, who possessed the Sand-Sand Fruit ability, naturally knew that one could elementalize their body, and even if the enemy used Armament Haki, they could still avoid the attack.

Sure enough, Akainu's upper body, which was cut off by the Desert Spada, flew out, continuing to charge towards Ace, and at an even faster speed.

Click!

As a bullet was chambered, Izo shouted loudly, "Ace! Go! We'll cover you!"

Ace, who was fleeing, looked at Izo, then nodded heavily. He had already decided that he couldn't let down…

Just as he thought of this, Ace's pupils suddenly constricted.

A red light flashed deep in his eyes. He quickly opened his mouth to warn Izo, "Be careful!"

Izo watched Akainu attacking Ace, gripping his two pistols tightly. With Haki imbued, the bullet was about to be fired, but then, a red light pierced through his head with astonishing speed.

Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!

Whoosh!

Renji blew on his finger, even though there was no smoke there. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for killing Izo! You have gained 51,000 Bounty points!]

What a pleasant sound!

Boom!

After piercing Izo's head, the red orb crashed onto the ground with a violent roar.

The remaining members of the Whitebeard Pirates watched this scene with horror on their faces, crying out in grief, "Commander Izo!"

"Izo!"

"Who is it?! That bastard!"

"Ah, ugh… Izo…"

Ace stared at Izo, who was slowly falling, his mouth agape. He couldn't say anything, feeling a lump in his throat. Today, he had lost too many family members.

Pops, Marco, Vista, and Izo, all died in battle. And all of them died at that person's hands.
