One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Meanwhile, in the heart of the battlefield, the battle between Lucci and Akainu had begun.

The cause of the matter is very simple.

Under the relentless attacks of the officers on Beehive Island, the Navy's defenses have completely collapsed.

Sengoku was entangled with Yamato, Garp was held back by Barrett, Kizaru and Tesoro were locked in a fierce battle in the air, and Aokiji faced off against Mihawk.

Meanwhile, Akainu, one of the Navy Headquarters' top combatants and an admiral, is trying to reorganize his offensive after losing Whitebeard as his opponent.

Then Lucci appeared in front of him.

In his Shadow Panther form, Lucci's body blended silently into the shadow beneath Akainu's feet.

Just as Akainu's magma fist was about to blast towards Whitebeard in the distance,

A powerful kick flew out from the shadows, striking Akainu's wrist with pinpoint accuracy.

Lava splashed everywhere.

Akainu had a thin, long wound on his wrist, from which magma gushed out and dripped onto the ice with a hissing sound.

Akainu looked down at the wound on his wrist, then slowly raised his head.

His gaze fell on Lucci, who emerged from the shadows, and on Kaku, Bruno, and Gabra behind him.

"CP9".

Akainu's voice was deep and cold, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth.

"traitor."

Lucci did not respond to the title.

He simply moved his neck, revealing clearly defined muscles beneath his leopard-print skin.

"Akainu, I am your opponent."

Akainu's lips curled into a cold smile. "Overestimating yourself."

His right arm was completely magma-like, with dark red magma churning and boiling on his fist.

The temperature was so high that the surrounding ice began to melt and smoke.

He took a step forward, and his magma fist, carrying terrifying heat, slammed towards Lucci.

Lucci did not take the hit head-on.

The Shadow Panther's speed is terrifying in short-range bursts; its body transformed into a black shadow just before the magma fist was about to strike.

It slid past the edge of the magma fist.

The scorching lava brushed past his shoulder, scorching a small patch of fur, but he seemed completely oblivious to the pain.

"Six Styles Secret Technique: Six Kings Spear".

Lucci's right fist, imbued with the full explosive power of the Six Powers and covered in Armament Haki, slammed into Akainu's side.

Akainu's body was knocked to the side by half a step, but only half a step.

His abdomen had already become elemental before the fist hit, with molten lava enveloping Lucci's fist.

Lu Qi frowned, instantly pulling back his fist and stepping back.

His fists were now covered in burns, the skin and flesh charred black from the high temperature.

If it weren't for Armament Haki blocking it, my entire hand would have been burned through by the magma.

"Your punches are much lighter than Whitebeard's." Akainu sneered, throwing a backhand punch at Lucci.

Lucci dodged again.

But this time, Akainu's magma fist exploded in mid-air, turning into dozens of fist-sized magma bullets that covered all of Lucci's dodging directions.

"Haunted Dog - Shotgun!"

Lucci had nowhere to dodge and was hit by several lava projectiles. He suffered burns in multiple places.

The force of the impact sent him flying, and he crashed through a wall before coming to a stop.

Amidst the rubble, Lucci coughed up blood and slowly stood up.

His shadow leopard fur was burned and mottled, revealing the charred skin underneath.

But his eyes showed no sign of backing down.

"This is the strength of a Marine Admiral."

Lucci wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Kaku and the other two beside him.

"Let's go together."

Kaku and Bruno simultaneously entered their human-beast forms.

Kaku in his Dire Wolf form moved with lightning speed, leaving several afterimages in the air, his sharp claws reaching for Akainu's nape.

Bruno charged forward from the front, his Cave Bear form granting him unparalleled defensive capabilities, and he crashed into Akainu like a heavy tank.

Gabra then moved to the side.

His Rust-Rust Fruit power had been concentrated to its limit in his hands; as long as he could touch Akainu's body,

Even a mere touch would be enough for him to inflict a great loss on this natural-type general.

Akainu remained expressionless as he faced the combined attack of the three.

His left fist turned into magma, and he punched Bruno in front of him.

His right arm transformed into a magma whip, sweeping horizontally towards Jabra to the side;

At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a magma beam that shot towards Kaku behind him.

The three attacks were launched simultaneously, completely blocking the three's offensive.

Bruno was hit head-on by the magma fist and flew backward, a large hole burned in the bear skin on his chest.

Jabra was forced back by the magma whip and couldn't get close to Akainu's body at all.

Before Kaku's wolf claws could even touch Akainu's neck, he was forced to change his attack and block the magma ray.

But in those fractions of a second when Akainu was distracted dealing with the three, Lucci had already made his move.

His figure appeared behind Akainu like a ghost, perfectly merging the Six Powers Secret Technique with the Devil Fruit ability.

His arms were covered in Armament Haki, and his arm blades popped out, making him look like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.

"Six Styles Ultimate Technique - Maximum Wheel - Six Kings Spear - Shadow Thrust!"

Lucci's attack slammed into Akainu's back.

This time, he didn't give Akainu a chance to transform into his elemental form, and his Armament Haki firmly locked onto Akainu's physical body.

The combined force of the punch and the arm blade pierced through the magma's defenses and slammed into Akainu's back.

Akainu was blasted away and tumbled twice in the air before regaining his balance.

The moment he landed, a mixture of lava and blood gushed from the wound on his back, burning a steaming hole in the ice beneath his feet.

Akainu slowly turned around and looked at Lucci.

The wound on his back was healing, but at a much slower pace than before.

Lucci's Armament Haki lingered in his wounds, hindering his elemental transformation from reverting to its original state.

You hurt me.

Akainu's voice contained no anger, but rather a strange calm.

"The strongest genius in CP9 in eight hundred years is indeed more than just a title."

His fists turned into magma simultaneously, and this time the temperature was higher than ever before.

The color of the lava changed from dark red to a dazzling bright white.

The surrounding ice was baked by the high temperature until it melted and boiled, and even the air began to distort and deform.

"But that's where it ends."

While the entire Marineford was engulfed in unprecedented chaos, Roy remained standing at the bow of the Ark of Truth.

His gaze pierced through the smoke and fire, locking onto a certain direction of the battlefield.

There, the white-bearded man was leaning on his naginata, slowly approaching the battlefield.

He didn't walk fast, and each step was accompanied by obvious panting, but he never collapsed.

Akainu was held back by Lucci and his three companions.

Sengoku was entangled with Yamato and Savi's squad.

Garp is fighting Barrett to the death.

Both Kizaru and Aokiji have their own rivals.

Moria, Jinbe, Hancock, Crocodile, Kuma... everyone is fighting with all their might on their respective battlefields.

The Navy Headquarters' manpower is being depleted at a visible rate.

Most of the officers below the rank of lieutenant general have been killed or wounded.

Even those lieutenant generals and other powerful figures fell one after another under the overwhelming offensive of the Beehive Island cadres.

Roy tapped the hilt of the Autumn Water Sword twice with his fingers.

A smile appeared on his lips—not out of cruelty, but out of satisfaction.

This game of chess, which he had been planning for ten years, is gradually moving towards the ending he had predetermined.

"It's my turn to make a move."

Roy muttered something under his breath, then vanished from the bow of the ship in a flash.
