Chapter 362: Whitebeard vs. Akainu! Volcano and Earthquake!

"Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!!!"

Kisame took a deep breath, his chakra rapidly mobilizing within him. The tumultuous seawater at the shore surged upwards, forming a massive torrent that nearly engulfed the entire fragmented island.

Kisame directed the flow upwards, careful to avoid affecting the members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

After all, he was well aware that there were many Devil Fruit users among the Whitebeard crew, including Pops himself.

At the very moment Kisame unleashed his Ninjutsu, countless magma fists rained down.

The first magma fist crashed into the "Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave," exploding like a cannonball, sending a shower of water and steam flying.

The massive magma fist plunged into the center of the Ninjutsu and was finally extinguished by the seawater, turning into ordinary volcanic rock.

Yet, Kisame's "Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave" visibly shrank a bit, as the scorching heat of the magma evaporated much of the seawater.

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

The relentless magma fists continued to fall, the spreading steam now comparable to the Kirigakure ninja's Hidden Mist Technique, leaving Kisame with a look of surprise on his face.

"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't ordinary magma, is it?!"

Kisame suddenly realized that the opponent's control over magma was not so simple.

The impact of the magma was comparable to the force of a volcanic eruption!

Especially when a magma fist plunged into the water and stopped just one meter away from him...

Kisame's pupils shrank slightly.

He quickly understood that his Ninjutsu might not last much longer.

As expected...

The moment dozens of magma fists fell simultaneously, the "Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave" instantly dispersed.

Several magma fists headed straight for Kisame!

"I can't let you magma bastard harm my family, Vista! Rose: Triple-Linked Dance!!!"

With rose petals dancing in the sky, two flashes of blade light passed by.

The magma fists about to smash into Kisame were instantly cut in half!

Watching the magma giant fists pass by him and crash beside him, Kisame's eyes reddened with ferocity: "Is this the power of a Marine Admiral? Such an exhilarating force! I can feel my blood starting to boil..."

Marco transformed into a phoenix and soared into the sky, heading towards the Moby Dick.

During the Summit War, the Moby Dick had already been destroyed by Akainu.

Marco didn't want this new Moby Dick to be destroyed by the magma bastard again.

He kicked away a magma fist and immediately blocked two more with his wings.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Izo, holding dual pistols, hurriedly fired into the air, but the bullets passing through the magma fists had little effect.

Such elemental attacks were least afraid of physical assaults.

"Damn it..."

Seeing a magma fist falling towards him, Izo had to hastily dodge.

Boom!!!

The magma fist crashed to the ground, splattering scorching lava, a few drops of which splashed onto Izo.

Even with Armament Haki activated immediately, the intense burning sensation still caused Izo to break out in a cold sweat.

"Ouch! This heat, it's even higher than volcanic magma, isn't it?!"

"Fire Fist!!!"

Ace, defiant as ever, launched a fire fist that soared into the sky, the raging flames nearly enveloping half of the Blue Vault, but the magma fists showed no respect for the Flame-Flame Fruit.

A multitude of magma fists completely ignored the flames, making Ace's expression turn extremely ugly: "Damn it... overpowered by magma again!"

"Big Fox!"

"Got it!"

Naruto, with the help of Kurama's chakra, unleashed a powerful Wind Release Ninjutsu.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!!!"

Terrifying gales surged upwards, and under the fierce howling of the wind, the momentum of the falling magma fists was significantly slowed.

Katakuri glanced at Naruto in surprise and casually commented, "Not bad, kid."

The next second, Katakuri bent down, one hand pressing on the ground.

The awakening power of the Mochi-Mochi Fruit activated, and the solid ground beneath him instantly turned into soft mochi.

Black Armament Haki immediately covered the mochi.

Katakuri clenched his fist and roared, smashing down with a punch: "Mochi: Anti-Air Cannon!!!"

Naruto, standing beside Katakuri, was blasted away by the force of this punch.

Because under the impact of this punch, the entire ground bounced up and down!

At the same time, mochi balls, each covered in Armament Haki, flew upwards!

The mochi balls collided with the magma fists, both exploding at the same moment, blocking a large number of magma fists.

"Kamui!!!"

Kakashi's Mangekyou pattern slowly rotated in his eyes, sucking a magma fist into the Kamui dimension.

With the concerted efforts of the Whitebeard Pirates, a terrifying natural disaster raining from the sky was forcefully averted.

This finally allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Gurara, you foolish sons, don't let your guard down!"

Whitebeard never cared about the magma fists falling from the sky; his gaze was always on the sea: "That magma brat is already on his way..."

In the distance, a red figure radiating with a red glow approached, stepping through the air with Geppo.

Akainu, at first glance, locked onto Whitebeard, ignoring everyone else.

"Whitebeard!!!"

Akainu stepped on the air, with rolling magma erupting beneath his feet, using the power of Geppo and the explosive force of the magma, his advance was incredibly fast.

Akainu's right hand was already a fiery red as he roared: "Hellhound!!!"

When Akainu appeared in front of Whitebeard, the Whitebeard Pirates realized the enemy had already broken through their ranks!

Kakashi was startled: "So fast... even the Mangekyou couldn't keep up."

"Gurara, you magma brat!" Whitebeard's right arm tensed instantly, facing Akainu's strike that closed the distance in the blink of an eye, Whitebeard chose to meet the attack head-on!

The power of the Quake-Quake Fruit intertwined with Conqueror's Haki.

The vibration enveloping his right fist was surrounded by streaks of black thunder.

"Haah!!!" Whitebeard also bellowed as he threw a punch, and the attacks collided in an instant.

The entire fragmented island seemed to turn into two different colors.

One side was the crimson red of scorching hot magma.

The other was a dense mass of white atmospheric fissures.

An overwhelmingly powerful shockwave blasted in all directions, and the already fragmented island faced a destructive blow.

The entire island was trembling, cracking, and collapsing!

The crew standing beside Whitebeard were caught off guard and were sent flying by the shockwave!

The explosive power of the Magma-Magma Fruit clashed with the tremor force of the Quake-Quake Fruit.

One second the former suppressed the latter, the next second the latter overpowered the former.

This back and forth continued several times.

"Gurarararara, you magma brat, you haven't improved at all! Such power can't even light a birthday candle for me!" Whitebeard burst into laughter at this moment, even finding the time to throw a taunt at Akainu.

"Old man with one foot in the grave, stop trying to show off like the young ones... This era is no longer yours!"

Akainu's face was extremely solemn. During the Summit War, he fought Whitebeard with a confident smile on his lips.

But at this moment today, his face only showed solemnity and disbelief.

Because he found that Whitebeard's power was even stronger than during the Summit War!

Yes, not just by a little, but by several degrees!

"Gurararararara!" Whitebeard laughed loudly: "Let's see what makes you think you can take the baton of the new era from us old folks!"

Whitebeard's right arm muscles bulged significantly.

The veins on the surface of his skin trembled violently.

His crescent-shaped mustache was shaking madly.

"Drink up!!!" The tremor power instantly overwhelmed the force of the magma.

And it pounced on Akainu head-on.

Akainu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he elementalized in advance.

Crack—

The entire space was violently twisting and shaking, and Akainu's body was shattered into blobs of magma.

The fragmented island beneath his feet completely turned into dust, and Whitebeard, stepping on Geppo, ascended dozens of meters into the air.

He began to twirl the handle of Murakumogiri in his hands, swinging a blade of magma away.

Crack—

The atmosphere and the air shook violently again, and the seawater below was pushed around.

Even the seabed was exposed with Whitebeard's slash.

The preemptively elementalized Akainu was also suppressed under the sea by Whitebeard's fierce slash!

As the tremor pushed the seawater to surge and merge, blobs of magma immediately gathered together, forming an unscathed Akainu.

Even though his face was shaking violently from the tremor's force, Akainu still forced himself to stand upright.

"Whitebeard! A Marine admiral is not so easy to be defeated! Justice will absolutely eradicate all evil on the seas!"

Akainu roared, resisting the power of the Quake-Quake Fruit and soaring into the sky, throwing a punch at Whitebeard.

"Great Fire!!!"

Whitebeard sneered and met him with another slash: "You magma brat! You Marines are the least qualified to speak such words! Want to eradicate all evil on the seas? Gurara, if you have the guts, go kill all the Celestial Dragons! Those world nobles high above are the true source of evil on the seas!"

"Oh right... almost forgot, dogs don't bite their masters, Gurara! Magma brat, as long as the Celestial Dragons exist for one day, your justice is a joke in my eyes!"

Boooom!!!

The clash of attacks once again intensified, with fissures in the atmosphere spreading across half the sky, while surging magma dominated the other half.

Previously, when Whitebeard and Blackbeard fought, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates thought they could lend a hand.

But now, they realized they were completely out of their depth.

Whether it was Pops or that Marine admiral, the power unleashed by these two was beyond their reach.

Shisui had already boarded the Moby Dick, and only by using the massive hull of the ship as a shield could he barely withstand the shockwaves.

Although he couldn't see anything with his eyes, feeling the scorching heat from afar and breathing in the sulfur-laden air of the magma, Shisui couldn't help but ask the tailed beast "Satoru Kū" within him out of curiosity, "You can use Lava Release too, can you stand against him?"

The Four-Tails fell silent, taking several seconds before replying, "That guy's magma is different from my Lava Release; it carries the force of a volcanic eruption. Such power... is terrifying, comparable to a world-ending natural disaster."

Even without directly admitting it, the subtext from the Four-Tails Satoru Kū was clear — it likely wasn't a match for that Marine.

"This Marine admiral is no weaker than Mom."

Katakuri also appeared on the Moby Dick by this time. Gazing at the distant Whitebeard and Akainu, he spoke gravely, "His magma... it gives me a particularly dangerous vibe."

"Damn it, we can't even get involved..." Sasuke was frustrated.

He found it difficult to even get close.

...

Meanwhile, at the same time.

At Marine Headquarters, in the temporary Fleet Admiral's office.

Sengoku had already returned from his meeting with Kong, and once the next Marine Fleet Admiral was appointed, he could retire peacefully to the second line.

This led to Sengoku's current state of mind being very calm.

After all, let the young ones clean up the mess!

He happily brewed himself a pot of tea, and just as he was about to take a sip, the Den Den Mushi beside him started ringing.

"Blu blu blu—"

"Blu blu blu—"

Sengoku held his teacup in one hand while casually answering the Den Den Mushi with the other.

Before he could speak, an extremely urgent shouting came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, "Fleet Admiral, there's trouble! While pursuing Blackbeard's pirate crew with Admiral Sakazuki, we've encountered the Whitebeard Pirates! We're in fierce conflict with the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Admiral Sakazuki has decided to face the entire Whitebeard Pirates alone! Fleet Admiral, we need reinforcements! We need reinforcements!"

Crack—

Overwhelmed by the emotional turmoil, Sengoku crushed the teacup in his hand.

Though Sengoku was physically well, he felt that if things continued this way, he might end up with a heart condition!

"Whitebeard, it's always Whitebeard..."

Coming to his senses, Sengoku shouted into the Den Den Mushi, "Tell Sakazuki to hold on! I'll send Borsalino for support right away!"

There was no choice; the opponent was far in the New World, and at this time, only Kizaru could provide support.

Sengoku immediately hung up the Den Den Mushi and hurriedly dialed Kizaru's number.

It took several minutes before Kizaru finally answered.

"Hello? it's already evening and time to leave work, there couldn't possibly be a mission now, could there?"

Kizaru's voice sounded a bit off-tune.

"Sakazuki has encountered Whitebeard!" Sengoku didn't want to waste words. The Marines cannot afford to lose any of their admirals, even if he doesn't quite agree with Sakazuki's way of doing things.

He commanded Kizaru, "Borsalino, I need you to go and support Sakazuki immediately! But do not engage in full-scale war with the Whitebeard Pirates, just bring Sakazuki back!"

"And remember, persuade Sakazuki! Tell him not to get carried away in battle! I'm worried he's getting too heated!"
