Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

The jet-black Armament Haki, carrying devastating power, indiscriminately bombarded Sakazuki's location!

The entire deserted island was instantly engulfed by this torrent of pitch-black Armament Haki!

The intense flash of light caused everyone watching the battlefield to close their eyes!

Explosions! A series of explosions sent flames and smoke billowing into the sky!

The deserted island was wailing! Rocks were instantly vaporized! The air in this area was evaporated and torn into a vacuum!

This was a one-sided, destructive feast dominated by pure Armament Haki!

Shen Jue's figure appeared and disappeared amidst the storm of Armament Haki eruption, like an invincible giant descending to earth, proclaiming his power to the entire sea in the most intense and violent way!

Wait until the storm caused by the explosion subsides.

The dozen or so naval warships were thrown a considerable distance by the aftershocks of the explosion.

Drake and Smoker, or rather, all the junior naval officers and some of the admirals, were stunned.

"Is this really an attack that humans could launch?" This was the only thought in the minds of many naval personnel.

On a deserted island.

Shen Jue let out a long breath. Even with his physical strength, he had to catch his breath after unleashing such a powerful, high-density saturation attack that instantly destroyed the entire island.

Sakazuki appeared at Shen Jue's feet, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his clothes torn apart by the high temperature and shockwave, revealing skin covered in wounds.

Even a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, who can avoid all physical damage, could not avoid suffering serious injuries when facing Shen Jue's Six Styles: Revolving Overlord Spear, unleashed using Armament Haki.

Blood continued to drip onto the ground, but in Akainu Sakazuki's eyes, the fighting spirit burned even brighter!

Only by pushing his Observation Haki and the elemental transformation ability of his Logia-type Devil Fruit to their limits, coupled with his terrifying physique, did Akainu manage to avoid being vaporized in the destructive torrent.

"Hahaha!"

Sakazuki, the Red Dog, showed no fear; he laughed loudly to vent his humiliation of being trampled upon.

"Shen Jue! You're strong! But it's still not enough! Not enough!"

"Then let's keep fighting, Sakazuki!" Shen Jue roared!

A fist, as massive as Sakazuki himself, gleamed with a dual aura of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki! It used Observation Haki to foresee the future! It locked onto Akainu Sakazuki!

Sakazuki, the Red Dog, inwardly groaned, but still roared, "Come on!"

"war!"

"Hound of the Underworld!"

In just a short time, the uninhabited island had completely disappeared.

On this sea, hot, fiery red blood flows.

That is a sea of ​​magma formed from the energy left behind by the Nature-type Magma Fruit.

As the icy seawater embraces this sea of ​​lava, a thick, milky-white curtain of steam gently shrouds it, like a bride's veil.

Sunlight penetrated the thin veil of steam, was broken up and dyed, casting large patches of flowing orange-red light on the sea surface.

That seemingly endless sea of ​​lava flowed freely amidst its waves.

Occasionally, a few black, solidified rocks rise from the sea of ​​lava, like silent, isolated islands. Their rough surfaces contrast sharply with the flowing lava around them.

Like the last spectators left behind in this earth-shattering battle.

Two figures emerged from the steam curtain, and the medical ship that had been waiting immediately set sail to approach.

Shen Jue remained calm, his clothes tattered and bearing burn marks. He held the unconscious, battered Akainu Sakazuki with one arm, who was still glaring menacingly before collapsing from exhaustion.

Although she looked disheveled, Shen Jue's skin was actually unharmed.

Those burn marks were caused by Shen Jue deliberately letting Sakazuki attack.

"These superhumanly strong characters in One Piece are truly monsters," Shen Jue thought to himself.

Even with his injuries, Akainu fought Shen Jue head-on for a long time before finally collapsing from exhaustion after being suppressed by Shen Jue.

This battle, which stemmed from differing ideologies among factions within the Navy, has just ended.

Unlike the ten-day battle between Aokiji and Akainu in the previous One Piece storyline.

The battle between Aokiji and Akainu was more about Logia-type Devil Fruit users unleashing their ultimate attacks and then skillfully dodging them.

It was like a duel between two equally skilled mages in a fantasy world.

They countered each other's moves, set traps for each other, and in the end, the outcome was decided by their willpower.

In the battle between Shen Jue and Akainu.

Akainu, whose future was predicted and locked onto by Shen Jue's Observation Haki, was unable to use his Logia-type Devil Fruit abilities to maneuver and had no choice but to confront Shen Jue head-on.

This led to the rare sight of Shen Jue carrying Akainu in one arm, stepping out of the steam curtain above the sea of ​​lava.

Shen Jue's assessment of the Magma-Magma Fruit, which is said to have the strongest attack power among Logia-type fruits, was that it was alright.

At least it would leave a mark on his skin, instead of leaving not even a white mark.

However, Logia-type Devil Fruits have long been out of meta.

According to Shen Jue's memories from his previous life, he remembered that in the One Piece storyline, the Haki version dominated for a period of time in the later stages of the story.

However, in the later stages of the story, One Piece's version advantage returned to the Devil Fruit ability mechanism.

Originally the strongest of the three types, the Logia type Devil Fruit has been relegated to a mere backdrop to the Paramecia and Zoan types.

"You're about to be out of the meta, Sakazuki," Shen Jue sighed inwardly, handing Sakazuki over to the tense medical staff on the hospital ship.

"It's better to entrust the future of the Navy to me, Sakazuki," Shen Jue whispered in Akainu's ear.

Sakazuki's unconscious body twitched slightly, but then returned to stillness.

The surrounding medical staff buried their heads deeply in their shoulders while performing emergency treatment on Sakazuki.

It was as if he hadn't heard anything at all.

The Marine Headquarters is not only composed of the three top-tier powerhouses at the Admiral level: Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru. Admiral candidates Chaton and Momousagi also possess formidable strength.

Unless necessary, the navy will not promote too many admirals at the same time.

But now it is absolutely necessary.

The Fallen Beast, Roaring Sky, openly provoked the World Government, killed the former king of the Sakura Kingdom, and wreaked havoc in Water 7. This made the pirates of the Grand Line and the New World see a weak Navy, and they began to stir up trouble on the seas.

Many pirates, under the guise of Xiaotian, stirred up trouble, waging war and invading everywhere.

Given the insufficient naval forces, it is quite reasonable to promote a new admiral to lead the expedition.

Although Shen Jue was able to quickly defeat Sakazuki, he did not want the World Government and the Celestial Dragons to know about his current strength.

Otherwise, Im's black transformation and demonic domination could very well attack Shen Jue.

Now is not the time.

Amidst the reverent expressions of the medical staff, Shen Jue accepted the cloak of justice.

The cloak of justice suddenly billowed from Shen Jue's shoulders, fluttering loudly.

"A gentler form of justice prevails!"

"Major changes have occurred in the Navy! A new Admiral sets sail for the Grand Line!"

"Admiral Shen Jue of the Navy has defeated the vicious pirates!"

A medium-sized ship was drifting on the sea. Ace lay on the deck of the ship, leisurely reading a newspaper.

Years have passed, and Ace is no longer the boy he once was.

The current Ace is handsome, sunny, and full of youthful energy.

"Brother Shen Jue, I've arrived at the sea." Ace muttered to himself as he read the newspaper, his gaze seemingly piercing through the vast ocean to see Shen Jue's smiling face.

Inside the white space.

Pirate Shen Jue arrived at the location where many Shen Jue had gathered in a cheerful mood.

But there they found Shen Jue with sword and shield, Shen Jue the Grim Reaper, and Shen Jue the Horror Movie sitting slumped on the ground, staring intently at an electronic screen placed in the air.

"what?"
