RyūJin Jakka In Full Display!

At the same time, on the deserted island:

"Physical strength alone is enough for me to block a Marine Admiral's attack."

Bai Ye felt the collision of their blows and realized something in his heart.

"However, my real strength is never just physical power."

With his mind made up, Bai Ye raised his head.

He glanced at the terrifying forces Marine was throwing at all costs to surround the deserted island today.

Bai Ye's indifferent eyes began to show a hint of coldness.

"The real battle is about to begin."

At this moment, Akainu snorted coldly upon hearing this and fixed his gaze firmly on Bai Ye.

"Are you ready to use your full strength now?!"

"Or do you, an arrogant fool, already know that no matter what kind of fire abilities you have, in front of lava, they are just low-level, insignificant abilities!"

Akainu's anger was clear.

He had watched the recorded footage of Bai Ye annihilating the pacifist fleet.

Bai Ye was obviously a 'swordsman.'

Yet, facing the current "end of the road," Bai Ye hadn't even used the weapon hanging from his waist!

For an 'arrogant' individual like this, Akainu couldn't stop the beat of his nerves, and the veins on his forehead popped out.

As a Marine Admiral—an existence feared by countless pirates across the sea—Akainu absolutely would not allow anyone to belittle him.

Especially not an old man who should have been abandoned by time long ago, someone who hadn't been relevant for over a week!

"Uninfluential, low-level ability?"

Bai Ye heard Akainu's words and looked at his arrogant dismissal of all flames.

This was perhaps the funniest joke Bai Ye had heard in days.

Does Akainu truly think that any fire ability is inferior to his Lava Fruit?

It seemed that Akainu—and the fire abilities in the One Piece world—were indeed weak.

So weak that Akainu mistakenly believed that lava could overpower all other fire abilities.

But don't forget...

Lava is still lava.

It's the flame's temperature that melts and forms minerals!

And Ryūjin Jakka in Bai Ye's hand...

Bai Ye placed Ryūjin Jakka in front of him with his left hand.

The Shikai flames alone...

The temperature of those flames can reach as high as 5700°C—the surface temperature of the sun!

The heat released is enough to turn everything into ashes!

That's why Bai Ye had never truly unleashed the full power of Ryūjin Jakka.

But…

Bai Ye had no intention of arguing with Akainu.

Because, at last, there was a place where he could unleash his full strength without holding back.

Now, he would show Akainu, clearly, what a true "blazing hell" looked like!

It was nothing more than Akainu's self-righteous belief that the Lava Fruit had the power to restrain all flames.

"Are you finally going to show your true strength?! Even so, your ending will not change!"

Akainu saw Bai Ye place his right hand on Ryūjin Jakka's dark purple hilt and snorted coldly.

Hot lava erupted from Akainu's body, and suddenly, the scene turned into one of destruction, melting everything around him.

However, Bai Ye didn't respond.

Because Bai Ye, gripping Ryūjin Jakka's dark purple hilt in his right hand, felt an emotion that seemed to excite the sword.

At that moment, Bai Ye wondered just how long the deserted island beneath his feet would last.

But as soon as the thought appeared in his mind, Bai Ye erased it.

That kind of thinking wasn't something he should entertain right now.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Kizaru, who had been watching the battle with a serious expression, suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

Kizaru's expression shifted slightly as he prepared to warn Akainu.

But as a surge of orange-red flames engulfed Bai Ye's body, the Marine fleet, CP0, and others at sea had no idea what was about to happen next.

Bai Ye looked indifferently at everything before him and slowly spoke the Shikai incantation that would reveal the true power of Ryūjin Jakka.

"All Things in the world, Turn to Ashes... Ryūjin Jakka!"

The next moment, before the Marine fleet at sea could react...

Suddenly!

All the flames frantically surged toward Ryūjin Jakka in Bai Ye's hands!

At the same time, from that very moment, the entire deserted island could be seen, with high temperatures radiating outward!

Centered on Bai Ye, the flames created a forbidden zone!

The ground beneath his feet began to crack and thirst for moisture...

Nearby plants withered and were reduced to swift ashes by the flames...

The flames then spread to the distant forest, consuming the entire deserted island!

Visible to the naked eye, the transformation was undeniable!

Compared to Akainu turning the area around him into lava, the high temperatures radiating from Ryūjin Jakka had already turned the entire deserted island into a 'fire hell'!

And the terrifyingly high temperature continued to escape, engulfing the entire deserted island!
