Overwhelming Power, Bai Ye: It's Time To End This Battle!
Boom...!
Boom...!
The torn island trembled violently, screaming as if it were about to be burned!
At the same time, the high temperature, enough to sweep the world, was accompanied by countless sparks erupting.
Visible to the naked eye, the terrifying heat wave evaporated all the sea around the island, boiling the water and exposing the soil that had been eroded by seawater for many years. The soil, long devoid of any moisture, melted under the intense heat!
"Four... that deserted island is torn apart!!!"
"This must be a lie, right?!"
"Hiss... so, so hot!"
On the warship, the shocked Marines couldn't help but speak out.
Someone subconsciously touched the edge of the warship, and the scorching heat immediately forced them to withdraw their hand.
On their heads, limbs, and backs, sweat began flowing in the high-temperature environment. Some Marines wiped their brows, but then they were horrified to find that the sweat dripping from their foreheads evaporated in mid-air before it could even reach the deck!
Marine expressions changed drastically when they discovered this.
They looked up at the deserted island, which had been torn apart, and faced the pillars of flames that seemed to ignite the sky at that moment.
They could feel the astonishingly terrifying high temperature constantly escaping.
A shudder passed over their faces, because even at a distance from the island, the heat wave was so intense that it affected the surrounding sea.
If this continues, we will die!
An unstoppable fearful thought crossed their minds.
Meanwhile, on the leading warship, CP0 members held one of the rare, seastone-processed precision weapons in the world.
Their pupils widened at the sudden change on the deserted island, and they were almost dumbfounded.
"Strange, monster!"
Looking at the splintered island, the old, strong man exuding a frightening aura was holding the flame-wreathed Ryūjin Jakka.
Even CP0 members couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Then, before they could react, a searing heat wave suddenly came from the weapon in his hand, causing the weapon to fall to the ground.
CP0 members instinctively reached for their weapons, but their pupils widened in horror when they saw the seastone turning red, exuding an astonishingly high temperature.
The first reaction of CP0 members was disbelief.
"...What kind of joke is this?!"
Seastone is one of the hardest substances in the world.
"If seastone becomes like this..."
A horrified thought suddenly popped into the CP0 member's mind, and he looked at the nearby Marine fleet.
His heart trembled.
He saw that the front ends of most of the warships had begun to melt...!
The muzzles, which once fired shells, were now struggling to withstand the high temperatures.
This entire fleet...
The CP0 member swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his throat dry, and without words, he looked at the deserted island in fear.
At this rate...
Even without Bai Ye making another move, the fleet assembled for Buster Call will be destroyed!
In that moment, the CP0 member felt an indelible fear of Bai Ye.
In this world... how can such a powerful man exist?!
...
At the same time, above the desert island...
Rumbling...
The splintered island was quickly approaching its fate of being reduced to ashes. This fate was inevitable and unchangeable.
At this time, the Reiatsu emanating from Bai Ye had completely engulfed his body, materializing like flame.
He glanced over at Kizaru and Akainu, both visibly shocked.
Bai Ye then looked toward the direction of the CP0 unit under the World Government and the naval fleet.
But this indifferent glance alone made the tall man with the antler mask feel fear.
Then, Bai Ye raised Ryūjin Jakka with his right hand.
Seeing this, the tall man with the antler mask trembled violently in his heart, unable to hold back his fear.
He shouted loudly:
"Marine!!! That monster, stop him!!!"
The man, overwhelmed by fear of death for the first time, abandoned his previous arrogance, his reliance on his identity, and his attitude.
Even though Bai Ye hadn't swung Ryūjin Jakka yet, the sight of him was enough to bring an overwhelming fear to the Grand Line's forces.
At that moment...
The tall man with the antler mask spoke, and at the same instant, Ryūjin Jakka fell!
Just as Bai Ye had refrained from attacking the CP0 members before, it was because, in his eyes, they were insignificant from the start.
And now, they were nothing more than mere bystanders.
Wow!
The air was instantly torn apart and ignited!
The high-temperature flames, comparable to the surface of the sun, swept toward the members of the CP0 force at sea!
Akainu and Kizaru's expressions changed drastically.
The flames, which had already torn apart the deserted island, were now rapidly gathering toward them!
Just as Akainu had thought before, there was no time to worry about the lives of these helpless people!
The flames flew across the sea and sky!
Without sparing any effort, they instantly engulfed the trembling CP0 warship.
Akainu and Kizaru watched in shock.
This was the first time either of them had seen what would happen if they touched that flame...!
The sea swept by the flames released by Ryūjin Jakka evaporated in an instant!
The eerie dry seabed below was exposed!
Countless steam rose into the air!
The high temperatures from the flames overwhelmed everything in their path!
As for the warship with the CP0 members...
It turned to ash!
That's right.
In an instant, the entire warship and the CP0 troops on it were reduced to ash, scattered with the wind over the evaporating sea!
Such terrifying strength...
Hiss!
The two Marines subconsciously looked at each other, then turned their gaze to Bai Ye, their eyes filled with unprecedented solemnity and shock.
And in that moment, Bai Ye, holding Ryūjin Jakka, his Reiatsu now almost fully materialized as a flame around his body, spoke in an indifferent tone:
"Now, it's time to end this battle."
The voice, cold and commanding, fell.
Boom...!
Boom...!
The pillar of flames rising from the desert island, quickly reduced to ashes, seemed almost alive, gathering toward Akainu and Kizaru.
Witnessing the consequences of exposure to that flame, Akainu and Kizaru's expressions changed drastically.
