Boom!!!!!!!!
The two lava palms met, and magma erupted with a deafening roar. Endless magma spewed out, forming a small island of lava in a short time.
It then gradually sank, leaving nothing on the sea surface except for the vast amount of steam.
The soldiers on the warship were discussing the scene they had just witnessed with shock and admiration.
"Wow!!!"
"Did you see that!!!"
"Hiss!!!"
"That was amazing!!!"
"Those two lava palms were so powerful!!!"
"Vice Admiral Sakazuki!!!"
"He's back!!!"
Sakazuki leaped back onto the ship. The soldiers, disregarding their injuries, all got up and looked at Sakazuki excitedly, their eyes full of worship.
Glancing at everyone, Sakazuki waved his hand, his deep voice ringing out:
"Alright, everyone, go back and get bandaged."
"Rest well."
The soldiers replied with high morale:
"Yes!!!!!"
Then, Sakazuki walked to the railing of the uppermost deck of the warship, activated his ability, and his arms transformed into magma spewing thick black smoke, which surged onto the deck. He raised his arms and pointed them at a spot in the sky.
"Ryusei Kazan."
Like firing rockets, countless magma fists shot diagonally into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!.....
It only stopped five minutes later. The magma reverted to his arms, and he walked into the room.
Meanwhile, deep beneath the sea.
A hundred-meter-long giant snake, covered in numerous burns, swam forward frantically. Over a dozen female figures clung to its scales on its back.
Under the eruption of lava, most of the Kuja Pirates and their possessions had turned to ash. Only this giant snake and the dozen or so people behind it survived and were fleeing desperately.
After an unknown distance of escape, Sandersonia was about to command the giant snake to go up for everyone to breathe.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!....
Like water poured on a hot iron, the sound of evaporating steam arose. Sandersonia looked around, her pupils constricting. Dozens of meter-sized lava fists smashed into the sea.
Thick smoke accompanied by high temperatures created countless bubbles and roars in the sea, and the seawater rapidly boiled.
The high temperature made the giant snake twist restlessly. Sandersonia commanded the giant snake to surface. As soon as it broke through, before everyone could even catch their breath.
Bang!
Boom!!!!!!!!!
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!....
Explosions sounded, and the sound of magma corroding flesh and blood was heard. The giant snake's head was smashed by a magma fist, exploding on the spot.
Magma corroded the giant snake's flesh and blood, and the snake stopped writhing, no longer restless, floating quietly on the water's surface.
The remaining survivors, disregarding the loss of their mount, looked at the world around them in terror.
In the sky, a blood-red sky burned endlessly. Lava fists broke through the clouds, accompanied by thick black smoke, smashing into the sea, like meteors of the apocalypse.
In the sea, countless bubbles burst, the water leaped and boiled restlessly, and the corpses of countless marine creatures floated to the surface, resembling hell.
"Is that....!!!!!"
"Run!!!"
"Quick.....!!!"
Bang!
Boom!!!!!!!!!
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!....
A lava fist falling from the sky struck in the middle of the group. Those who discovered it only had time to issue a warning before the lava fist descended and exploded, silencing everything.
Sandersonia, who was smashed into the water, was covered in Haki and swam upwards.
"Roar—!"
A vast and ancient roar echoed in the sea, laced with a hint of panic. The seawater became even more turbulent, and a huge force struck.
Sandersonia, who forcefully stabilized her form, looked down at the giant black shadow below in horror and dodged away. However, the shadow grew larger at an incredibly fast pace. In the blink of an eye, the entire field of vision was filled with the shadow's figure.
Sandersonia looked at the surging black shadow, her eyes filled with endless despair and unwillingness.....
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With multiple lava burns on its back, a super-giant sea king the size of an island broke through the surface, kicking up layers of giant waves hundreds of meters high that crashed into the distance.
Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The vast and ancient roar was mixed with panic.
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A deafening roar sounded again, and the colossal figure dived into the water and swam into the distance........
It wasn't until after an unknown number of sunrises and sunsets that the cloudless sea area became calm and peaceful. A few seagulls occasionally flying overhead conveyed a sense of leisure.
Only the countless ripened marine creatures on the sea surface hinted at the apocalyptic scene that had occurred here not long ago......
Meanwhile, after several days of repairs.
"Vice Admiral Sakazuki."
"The engine room has been repaired."
The副官 reported to the figure in the justice cloak ahead, and Sakazuki's deep voice came from the front:
"Set sail."
