"Everyone, spread out immediately!"
Seeing this, Akainu roared out the command, while simultaneously rapidly distancing himself from his subordinates.
Because he clearly sensed that the three meteorites were coming for him; as long as he stayed away from his subordinates, they wouldn't be in too much danger.
"Meteor Volcano!"
After distancing himself from his subordinates, Akainu furiously spewed out a large amount of magma, blasting skyward towards the three falling meteorites.
Instantly, a natural disaster like a Volcanic Eruption collided with the falling meteors, and two of the meteorites were destroyed to the greatest extent by Akainu's magma.
But Akainu no longer had time to destroy the third meteorite, because it had already completely crashed down right above his head.
"How is this possible, it's Busoshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki!!"
Just as Akainu was about to turn into his element to evade the damage from the meteorite impact, he suddenly discovered that the bottom of the last meteorite was covered in a layer of black Busoshoku Haki and wrapped in red lightning-like Haoshoku Haki. This indicated that someone was controlling this meteorite, and the enemy was very powerful!
This immediately extinguished his intention to turn into his element; doing so would be equivalent to offering his face up to be hit!
"Dark Dog!!"
Akainu's lower body turned into magma, instantly shooting up like a Volcanic Eruption. His right hand, also magma, simulated the power of a Volcanic Eruption and punched the meteorite.
However, the meteorite had fallen from tens of thousands of meters high, accumulating an unknown amount of powerful kinetic energy.
Furthermore, this meteorite was not just a simple meteorite, but a comet that Ares had transformed into.
The moment it struck, a large amount of cometary energy surged from behind the comet, further propelling its downward force.
The moment the comet collided with the magma, relying on its inherent advantage, the comet overwhelmingly shattered Akainu's Dark Dog and, with irresistible force, slammed directly onto Akainu's entire body.
Even his lower body, which had turned into magma, was forced back to its original state. His entire body was solidly smashed by the comet from the air hundreds of meters underground.
"Magma Fire Sea!!"
Akainu, who had been smashed underground, erupted with a large amount of magma, completely turning the surrounding earth into magma. After pushing the comet pressing down on him up slightly, he immediately turned into magma and escaped the comet's suppression.
"Cough, cough!!"
At this moment, Akainu's entire body was covered in blood, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at the transforming comet.
However, just then, Fujitora burst over from the side. His immense gravity compressed into a ten-meter-tall black giant tiger.
"Gravity Blade: Fierce Tiger!"
As Fujitora slashed down with his sword, the giant tiger opened its bloody maw and bit directly at Akainu.
"Dark Dog!!!"
Akainu's eyes were stern. Turning around, he unleashed his most powerful move. His magma fist directly slammed into the black giant tiger.
The powerful force of the Volcanic Eruption easily blocked the black fierce tiger's impact. But just as he was about to completely shatter the black fierce tiger, the previously transforming comet instantly turned into a purple crystal armored man over three meters tall.
Without any hesitation, the moment Fujitora attacked, Ares charged directly at Akainu with comet-like speed.
"Eight Impact Fist: Comet Strike!"
That power, containing the force of a comet impact, perfectly fused with his own techniques and Haki. Its power was no weaker than the attack that had just utilized the gravity-assisted fall.
Caught in a pincer attack, Akainu could only retract his power and use his other magma hand to block Ares's punch.
But at the same time, Fujitora suddenly increased the gravitational force. Akainu, caught in the middle, suffered the full force of their combined attack.
Both his magma arms were shattered at this moment, and then, relying on his powerful physique, his body took solid hits from Ares and Fujitora.
"Volcanic Eruption!"
Suppressing the urge to vomit blood and the intense pain, Akainu stubbornly erupted again amidst their pincer attack, relying on his physique. Instantly, the ground within a few hundred meters all turned into a Volcanic Eruption filled with magma.
Akainu originally intended to force Ares and Fujitora back with this method, but he didn't expect his magma sprayed on Ares to be completely blocked by his comet outer layer. Even Fujitora used gravity to cover the surroundings, preventing any magma from approaching him.
Seizing this opportunity, Ares punched Akainu in the head, while Fujitora slashed towards Akainu's chest with his sword.
Akainu took another solid combined attack from the two, and his entire body was sent flying hundreds of meters away.
Immediately after, Ares and Fujitora rushed over, not giving Akainu any chance to catch his breath.
The other side of Herbert Island:
Under Akainu's cover, many Marines successfully escaped the crisis of the falling meteorites. They all followed Akainu's command to retreat to the warships by the coast.
"What kind of intense battle is Admiral Akainu in? He's even at a disadvantage. There are two opponents!"
"Could they be helpers brought by the Revolutionary Army?"
"Has the den den mushi connected? Quickly report the situation to Headquarters and have them send reinforcements!"...
Many Marines on the three warships watched the battlefield where Akainu was with concern through binoculars, but they couldn't do anything now and could only wait there.
"Hahahahaha, Marine warships, shatter!"
While the Marines were worried about Akainu, Weevil stepped on Moonwalk and charged directly above the warships, then swooped down. His laughter immediately attracted the Marines' attention.
"This is bad, it's an enemy, open fire quickly!"
Seeing the enemy descend from the sky, the Marines immediately took out their guns and shot, but these bullets were completely useless against Weevil.
"Pressure Blade: Crushing!"
Weevil slashed at the warship with his sword. At the same time, immense white pressure instantly enveloped the entire warship. The warship was crushed by powerful pressure from all sides, the ship cracking inch by inch. Even the bodies of the Marines on the ship couldn't withstand the pressure, instantly bleeding from their orifices and falling to the ground with twisted bodies.
"Hahahahaha, such weak Marines! Let's quickly finish them all off, and then go deal with Admiral Akainu!"
The Marines led by Akainu had no flag officers at all and couldn't stop Weevil. Soon, all three warships were dealt with by Weevil.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Akainu's strength was very, very high, but facing Ares, who was slightly stronger than Akainu and not afraid of magma, combined with the slightly weaker Fujitora, Akainu could only stubbornly resist. Under the relentless attacks, Akainu was completely at a disadvantage, without any room to retaliate!
If he weren't a Logia Devil Fruit user, completely turning the surrounding environment into magma and gaining a geographical advantage, Akainu's current situation would likely be even more difficult.
"Hahahahaha, Admiral Akainu, your strength doesn't seem that great! With this strength becoming an Admiral, you're simply lowering the overall level of the Admirals!"
"Admirals aren't that impressive either. The fact that the Marines now have four Admirals just shows that the Admirals are all just making up the numbers, not worth mentioning!"
Fujitora also tacitly cooperated with Ares's taunts at this moment. Simultaneously, the black line of fire, which had turned into a black sword, slashed towards Akainu from another direction, locking down Akainu's possibility of avoiding Ares's punch.
