[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for achieving the accomplishment: Fall of the Whitebeard Captains!]
[Reward: 80,000 Bounty points! Lafite * 15]
"Is this... really Lafite from my previous life?"
Renji looked at the 15 additional bottles of Lafite in his system space and fell into a brief contemplation. He genuinely wasn't too sure about the taste of alcohol in the One Piece world right now.
His gaze returned to the battlefield. Almost all the Marine soldiers who could still fight were now in high spirits, excitedly chasing down the remnants of the defeated Whitebeard Pirates.
However, Luffy's luck was truly good. Even in such a situation, he was successfully embraced by Jinbe.
"Renji, you really are something. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been blown to dust by you." A voice sounded.
Aokiji, his uniform disheveled and his nose covered in dust, looked at Renji with a somewhat displeased expression.
Renji couldn't help but let out an awkward laugh. Aokiji had helped him earlier. Although he was frozen, to ensure a one-hit kill on Jozu, the power of that Red was not small. It left Aokiji looking quite disheveled now.
"Sorry, Admiral Aokiji, I'll treat you to good wine when we get back." Renji said apologetically.
"Hmm? How do you know I like to drink?" Aokiji couldn't help but be puzzled. Not many in the Marine knew that secret.
"Slacking off during work hours, are we?" As golden light flickered, Kizaru appeared not far from the two.
"Renji."
'Slacking off? You're the least qualified to say that.' Renji complained inwardly.
Aokiji saw this and said, "Kizaru, Renji just killed so many captains, how can you say he's slacking off?"
"Oh? Is that so?" Kizaru pretended not to know, silently looking at the spectacular giant clash in the distance.
Compared to Kizaru and Aokiji, who were still able to chat and laugh while conserving their stamina, Akainu's situation was clearly not good.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each violent roar, hot magma splattered everywhere. The high temperature, upon contact with any object, would instantly melt it into ash and charcoal.
"Hahaha! An Admiral is nothing more than this. Let Renji or Garp come and fight me."
Bullet had quietly slipped to a section of the encirclement wall again at some point, absorbing most of the giant wall and creating another breach.
However, no pirates dared to escape through this breach for now.
Because the scorching molten lava was also raging there, colliding wildly with the slowly growing robot.
"Bullet! Are you helping Straw Hat too? As expected of an evil guy, he always forms his own faction wherever he goes."
Akainu's eyes blazed with anger. His entire body elementalized, he used the same move he had used against Whitebeard earlier, condensing into a molten giant of considerable size.
That entire area of land was crimson. The scorching heat emanating from the air made it suffocating just to get close. The astonishing high temperature distorted the air, continuously melting the Marineford ground.
In fact, this was still the result of Akainu being injured and exercising some restraint. Otherwise, he could even turn the entire Marineford plaza into a magma hell.
"Hahaha! Enough talk. Take this punch." Bullet grinned.
His Armament Haki hardened and wrapped around the surface of his mechanical giant fist, delivering another fierce punch towards Akainu's molten giant.
The astonishing speed and power compressed the air, which was especially evident in this scorching heat.
Akainu roared, also unleashing a molten giant fist.
"A mere fugitive, you're really pushing your luck, Bullet!"
Boom!
Large amounts of muddy substances splattered everywhere after the two exchanged punches. The collision of immense power stirred up terrifying waves of hot air that swept across the area.
Although Akainu's molten fist was smaller than Bullet's mechanical fist, its power and destructive force were superior. Basically, after each clash, Bullet's fist would shrink by half, becoming even smaller than the molten giant's fist.
However, Bullet's ability to absorb materials to restore his mechanical fist was equally rapid.
"Damn it! His Devil Fruit ability is too annoying. No matter how refined my Armament Haki becomes, my fist can at most last three seconds before melting."
Bullet absorbed the encirclement wall while constantly thinking of countermeasures.
Having just been released from prison, although he had maintained training there, without the intense battles between top-tier powerhouses, he was still far from his peak condition.
Having just faced Renji's Divine Departure and Garp's punch, Bullet's dormant battle consciousness had been reawakened somewhat. He also re-realized the truth that almost every top-tier powerhouse acknowledged.
In this world, only Haki is the path to supreme strength.
But Akainu's magma was too troublesome. If he didn't use his Devil Fruit ability to attack, what would melt into mud wouldn't be machinery, but his flesh and blood.
As Bullet pondered, the molten giant fist struck again, illuminating his mechanical giant in a fiery red hue.
"Hahaha! Akainu! I acknowledge you!"
As Bullet laughed—
Boom!
An earth-shattering sound echoed throughout Marineford. The entire Marineford began to shake uncontrollably at this moment, and even the distant sea surface began to churn with monstrous waves.
"What's going on!"
"Another earthquake?"
"It's Blackbeard!"
Amidst everyone's exclamations, Teach stood on a high point.
"Zehahahaha! Do you like it? Marine! Enjoy this farewell gift of mine!"
At the distant shore, fishermen watched in horror as the horizon gradually turned into an arc.
"This is... a super tsunami!"
Rumble!
The ground shook continuously. Even a super island like Marineford began to lose its balance.
Marine soldiers and pirates huddled together amidst the constant shaking. Only those skilled in physical combat could barely maintain their balance.
Buggy looked at the continuously rising giant waves with a terrified expression, hissing softly, "We're going to die. Why is there such a huge tsunami again?"
—
"Is it my turn again?" Aokiji said, then leaped into the air once more.
Ice Age!
In the blink of an eye, he instantly froze the hundred-meter wave that was about to crash onto Marineford Plaza.
"It's a good thing we have an Admiral."
Listening to the cheers, Aokiji's face remained solemn. He could feel that he had only frozen the first wave. Subsequent tremors were still coming relentlessly.
Sengoku now released Garp, who had temporarily regained his sanity.
"Is this war finally coming to an end?" Sengoku frowned.
On the battlefield, only Bullet remained a troublesome opponent. The other pirates were all fleeing. It wouldn't be difficult for several Admirals to surround Bullet and take him down. However, he still had a bad premonition.
—
Renji looked into the distance. His Lv. 5 Heavenly Six Eyes allowed him to perceive fragments of future trajectories.
Clang!
Crimson Haki stirred the sky on one side, shattering the recently frozen ice waves. Simultaneously, dark clouds suddenly gathered on the other side of the sky, and a massive shadow loomed faintly within the black clouds.
[Ding! Detecting Host's current situation! You have a new selection!]
The war, perhaps, is far from over.
