Chapter 111: The Decided Battle of the Admiral

"Enel, it seems that your first time coming to the Blue Sea will involve you in a battle."

On the ship, Shiro predicted that the battle between Aokiji and Akainu would soon reach its conclusion.

Now was the perfect time to act.

They were currently on the outskirts of Punk Hazard, surrounded by six top Navy ships and a luxurious vessel. According to common practice, not even a battle between Admirals would warrant the dispatch of so many elite warships. Clearly, the occupants of that luxury ship were of high status.

There was no need to guess—it was the Celestial Dragons, the so-called world nobles. It made sense that a Celestial Dragon would come to watch a rare battle between Admirals, as if it were some form of entertainment.

How ridiculous. In the eyes of the Celestial Dragons, even Admirals were nothing more than two fighting monkeys!

"Yeah, haha! What do you need me to do? Just say it. After all, I came to the Blue Sea to follow you, Shiro!"

Enel said, not showing a trace of displeasure. Although he had once declared himself a god, he was now entirely convinced by Shiro. He was even willing to serve as a humble servant to this extraordinary man.

Shiro's abilities were simply terrifying!

"Alright, time is of the essence. Let's get moving. I won't act for now, Enel. Take them and sink all the seven ships. Also, capture the person on that luxury ship alive!" Shiro ordered, his eyes cold and determined.

"Yeah, haha, I got it!" Enel nodded, transforming into a bolt of lightning that shot toward the sea below. The seven robot generals, shrouded in black robes, followed closely behind.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Soon, massive explosions echoed across the waters surrounding Punk Hazard Island. Under Enel's powerful lightning strikes and the attacks of the seven robot, the six Navy warships were completely sunk before they could even react. Many Marine soldiers fell into the sea, desperately struggling to survive. The luxury ship, too, was destroyed in the chaos.

Amidst the wreckage, a person wearing an oxygen mask and strange attire was easily captured by Enel.

"Damn it! Who dares touch me? I am a Celestial Dragon, a god-like existence! Are you fools seeking death? There are Admirals on the island; you must die!!" the captured Celestial Dragon screamed hysterically. He had never been treated so disrespectfully in his life.

"You claim to be a god-like existence? Haha! The Blue Sea is truly absurd. You dare to call yourself a god? I've called myself a god for years, and I'm really curious—what kind of god are you?" Enel sneered, his tone indifferent as he gazed at the Celestial Dragon before him.

The Celestial Dragon, furious and shaking, pointed at Enel, unable to utter a coherent word.

"What are you?! Just stay down!" Enel snapped, breaking the Celestial Dragon's wrist effortlessly. Before the noble could let out a scream, Enel stunned him with a series of thunderbolts. The entire time, Enel never bothered to look at him.

If it hadn't been for Shiro's command to capture the Celestial Dragon alive, he would have already reduced this garbage to a pile of ash.

Meanwhile, on Punk Hazard Island, ice and magma clashed fiercely, turning the environment into a chaotic blend of extreme heat and cold. Mountains, rivers—everything had been transformed by the duel. The once-normal island was now a battleground of lava and ice.

Amidst the turmoil, Admiral Aokiji, panting heavily, momentarily disengaged from the fight. He glanced at Akainu, who was equally battered and bruised, and suggested,

"It seems like something is happening outside. Do we really need to keep fighting?"

Akainu, undeterred by his injuries, responded with fierce determination. "Kuzan, that's none of your concern. Our job is to finish this battle, determine the victor, and become the next Fleet Admiral!"

Though Akainu was in bad shape, his fighting spirit burned brighter than ever. He had to win this battle—not just for himself, but to restore the Navy's honor. This was more than a battle; it was a fight for redemption.

"Are you willing to disregard the lives of our Marines just for this?" Aokiji asked, visibly troubled.

Akainu's vision of justice was starkly different from Aokiji's. If Aokiji won, he could continue serving as an Fleet Admiral. But if Aokiji lost, there would no longer be a place for him in the Navy that embraced such ruthless justice.

"Don't be naive, Kuzan. Hesitation only leads to more chaos. If you and Borsalino had taken down Shiro when you had the chance, the Navy wouldn't have lost face in the war. Your indecisiveness is a dereliction of your duty to justice!" Akainu's words were harsh, and he readied himself for the decisive strike.

Aokiji, with a heavy sigh, prepared to meet Akainu's attack head-on. The final clash between magma and ice was imminent. After this strike, there would be no turning back, and only one would emerge victorious.

And Shiro was just waiting for them to tear each other apart.
