"Kizaru, be careful from now on! Don't let me land a single slash— just one slash would be enough to determine your fate; you will be the same as this nameless island!" A calm voice came from the opposite side, causing Kizaru's forehead to drip with sweat, his expression extremely grave. 

The terrifying flames became even more horrifying after Rojen did something to his blade. A single slash that missed contained an energy so immense that it could set the entire island ablaze. In the face of such a high-concentration elemental attack, what use was Elementalization? 

At the same time, about 2-3 kilometers away from the island, a fleet of warships was approaching. When the Vice Admirals at the front of the warships saw the sea engulfed in raging flames, their pupils contracted. 

"What is that?" 

"Flames, towering flames! How can there be so many flames in the sea?" 

"No, it's the island that's burning. I remember clearly— there was a nameless island there before!" 

After a few words, all the Marines exchanged shocked glances. How could an island suddenly catch such an immense fire? 

"Look!" At that moment, a Marine pointed above the sea of flames. Two figures were rapidly colliding, separating, and then colliding again. With each collision, golden lightning and crimson flames erupted between them. 

"That's Admiral Kizaru!" A Marine recognized Kizaru, exclaiming in shock. 

"The other figure is Rojen!!!" A voice filled with disbelief rang out, and everyone fell silent the next moment. 

The one who spoke was Vice Admiral Moya, his eyes filled with incredulity. He couldn't believe that Rojen was capable of fighting an Admiral. From the time they set off until now, more than ten minutes had passed. This meant Rojen had been fighting the Admiral for that long! It was simply unbelievable! 

Moreover, everyone knew Kizaru's Devil Fruit ability was light, and the island was now filled with flames. 

The source of this power was undoubtedly clear! 

"R-Rojen can unleash fire attacks?!" 

In the void above the distant island, the two figures continued to clash rapidly. 

After watching the battle for a dozen breaths, the Marines gradually understood. 

"Kizaru is actually at a disadvantage!" Noas's hands trembled; he couldn't believe it. 

Although both combatants were giving their all in each clash, his sharp eyes noticed that Kizaru was instinctively dodging! 

What did this mean? Kizaru didn't dare to face Rojen head-on and was instead trying to evade. What on earth was going on? 

In the void, the pain in Kizaru's chest and the immense threat posed by the Zanpakutō, which was infused with an unknown amount of firepower, were overwhelming. 

"You won't last much longer, Kizaru!" 

Rojen wielded his long blade like a sword, continuously executing sword techniques, his voice as sharp as a blade. Kizaru's eyes flickered, his breath somewhat chaotic. He flipped backward several times, transforming into light and retreating a few steps. 

Just as Rojen was about to pursue, the void ahead suddenly brightened, forcing him to halt. 

"Yasakani no Magatama!" Countless golden orbs suddenly appeared. Kizaru's figure flickered several times, spreading across the front, and countless golden orbs shot from his body toward Rojen. 

"Such a nuisance!" Rojen sighed, then swung Ryūjin Jakka forward. "Zanka no Tachi·Nishi - Zanjitsu Gokui!" 

"Chī chī chī!" 

An endless Reiatsu erupted, and then the space around Rojen began to distort, white smoke continuously rising and dispersing into the void. An invisible Reiatsu cloak covered his blade and body. 

"Whoosh!" 

With this slash, the void within a kilometer diameter froze in time and space. 

Kizaru's expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated! 

In the next moment, a series of explosions erupted. 

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" 

The entire nameless island trembled as countless explosions occurred. 

The golden orbs Kizaru had launched all detonated under this slash, and the void ahead became blindingly bright. 

"So terrifying!" 

On the warships, the Marines watched the battle ahead, too afraid to advance further. 

Some Marines even felt fear rising in their hearts. How could they arrest someone with such combat power? Who would dare to? 

Step by step, Rojen walked through the fiery void, arriving in front of Kizaru. 

"I don't have much time, so I'm sorry!" 

Ryūjin Jakka unfurled and was slowly placed at his waist, adopting a drawing stance. 

"Blade draw?" Kizaru's pupils constricted, fully on guard. 

"If you survive," Rojen's words were calm, his gaze sharp, "Then consider yourself lucky!" 

Yamamoto's ultimate technique could only be endured by the very strong or those who were simply lucky! 

Suddenly, Kizaru's eyes widened. He saw a flash of light, and his body began to transform into light under his control. 

"Elementalization!" 

"Whoosh!" 

Rojen, who had assumed a drawing stance, twisted his form, transforming into a brilliant red light akin to a bomb exploding, and that slash was suddenly unleashed. 

In less than a millisecond, Rojen was already behind Kizaru. 

"What's the name of this move?" Kizaru didn't lower his head, his pupils trembling violently as he asked this question. 

"Zanka no Tachi·Kita - Tenchi Kaijin!" Rojen whispered. 

"You're quite lucky." He couldn't help but add another remark. 

"Hehe, is that so?" Kizaru forced a bitter smile. 

His form had become a mere shadow of light, but it was futile. It was clear to see that his waist was continuously splitting apart, yet it was also desperately healing. However, an unnamed force was able to disrupt the healing, causing the split to break open again. 

That slash, if not for Elementalization, would have already cleaved his body in two. 

Oh no, even with Elementalization, he had been cut in half. 

And behind that slash, in the kilometer-wide sea, flames surged as if the world were ending! 

The seawater was boiling at that moment. 

"Good luck!" Rojen's calm voice echoed, and in the next moment, he twisted his form and stepped away from behind Kizaru. If Kizaru survived that ultimate slash, then he truly was lucky. 

A few steps later, Rojen arrived above the fleet of warships on the surface of the sea. 

"Why not take the free possession coin?" His eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his lips. Ryūjin Jakka was displayed, then he slashed down toward the void ahead. 

Below, the Marines on the warships all changed their expressions. 

"Admiral Kizaru has actually been defeated!!" 

Just a second ago, they had seen that figure, glowing with light, suddenly fall down. 

And in this second, a greater crisis descended. 

A blade-shaped flame, nearly a thousand meters long, was slicing straight toward them. No one could block it, nor could they stop it!
