I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

His sharp, hawk-like eyes flashed with an unprecedented light, and after gathering his strength slightly, he slashed down with the black sword in his hand!

A sharp sword, a sharp eye!

Sieg's figure moved with lightning speed, like a rainbow piercing the sun, instantly piercing through Crocodile's body and completely shredding her into a cloud of yellow sand that scattered all over the ground.

The woman propelled Sigurd's fencing speed to its absolute limit. Behind Crocodile, the one-armed Logia-type Devil Fruit user, true swordsmanship was unleashed.

A white rainbow-like sword light flashed, tearing through the sky like lightning in an instant.

In a flash, the white, rainbow-shaped sword light collided with the massive, dark blue-green sword light. The light appeared for a fleeting moment.

The sword light immediately disappeared.

Hawkeye swooped down like an eagle, standing back-to-back with Sieg, the world's number one black sword, Night Blade, trembling slightly in his hand.

Two seconds later.

Hiss.

Hawkeye's sleeve, which was gripping the black sword, suddenly ripped open. A line of blood spread from his wrist to his shoulder, dripping blood down his sleeve onto the blade and then onto the ground.

Tick, tick.

The sound of blood dripping was clearly audible, and the surrounding pirates and marines stared blankly at the scene, some still unable to react.

This time, the outcome was decided in an instant, so fast that they didn't even have time to react.

Hawkeye lowered his eyelids, watching the blood dripping from the tip of the knife onto the ground.

This is his own blood.

finally-------

This is a scene that Hawkeye Mihawk has been looking forward to for a long time.

He had been looking forward to this day for many years.

He had been looking forward to this moment ever since that drink with Shanks ten years ago, but it turned out that it had taken ten years.

"I knew it..."

Hawkeye closed his eyes, his golden eyes closing slightly, but then opening again, his eyes with two strange golden pupils shining brightly once more.

After a decade-long obsession, he was finally freed from his despair. Instead of feeling dejected by his failure, he experienced a strange sense of relief.

The sword of the great power of heaven and earth, the flying sword technique, and this sword in my hand, which belongs to the realm of ordinary people's understanding... a mortal's sword.

Ten years, three showdowns.

They all lost.

His injuries weren't serious, and he still had the strength to fight again. But anyone could see the difference in skill that had been revealed in that instant.

Hawkeye slowly sheathed the black sword Night in his hand, and walked away silently without saying a word to Sig.

Communication with the swordsman wasn't through words, but through the sword in his hand; he had nothing more to say to Sig.

"Hawkeye, where are you going...? The war isn't over yet!" At first, some Marines tried to question him.

But looking at Hawkeye's back and Sieg in front of them, they silently swallowed their words.

As the yellow sand swirled, Crocdale, forty or fifty meters away, reassembled from the sand into a human form and pounced towards Sieg, her golden hook gleaming coldly as it pointed directly at him.

But as he lunged at Sieg, his eyes were suddenly met with Sieg's bare chest...

She was slightly taken aback; the strange impact felt like she'd been punched in the face, and she couldn't help but take a deep drag on her cigar.

"Why don't you put on some clothes?" She glanced at the many eyes secretly watching her from the surroundings, her brows furrowing.

"Oh, right." Sig then remembered this and took a piece of clothing from his inventory and put it on.

After all, for an old pervert, the most alluring moment is when the woman is half-concealed, and revealing her at the right time will have a greater impact.

Sieg didn't have time to say anything else. He looked at a dark red figure hundreds of meters away, his attention drawn to it.

Crocdale watched his retreating figure silently, her face grim as she continued to puff on her cigarette.

"Next time... and if there's a next time, I'll definitely squeeze him dry."

............

As Higuma charged toward Mihawk and Crocodile, Akainu was also chasing Ace, Luffy, and the others hundreds of meters away.

His fists transformed into flowing magma, and with each punch, the intense heat melted and evaporated solid ice into white vapor.

But each time, someone always steps forward to thwart his offensive.

A pink heart-shaped arrow came from behind, and Akainu slightly turned his head to avoid the Empress's "accidental injury".

Just as they were about to continue their pursuit, a bear paw bubble suddenly expanded, unleashing a wave of air that swept in all directions, cracking the glacier. If Akainu hadn't stopped in time, he would have been caught in the blast.

Taking another step forward, there was a spear-shaped current of sea that Jinbe, the Shichibukai who had just defected, swung his hand and threw.

"What's going on? Moria and Jinbe betrayed me on the spot, and now it seems like all the other Shichibukai are trying to stop me?" A strange thought flashed through Akainu's mind:

"Whose Seven Warlords of the Sea are these?"

Akainu frowned, his entire body transforming into a pool of magma, flowing rapidly along the ground, finally overcoming the obstruction of numerous Shichibukai and rushing straight to the two targets.

"I will absolutely not let Portgas D. Ace and Straw Hat Luffy, the prisoners who were publicly executed this time, go."

The crimson magma coalesced into a human shape, and Akainu, without saying a word, threw a punch.

"It's so hot..." Ace tentatively swung his hand to throw a fire punch, but was burned by Akainu's giant magma fist. His face was contorted with burning pain, and his body trembled and almost fell to the ground, but was supported by Luffy next to him.

He, the user of the Flame-Flame Fruit, actually got burned?

"Overestimating yourself." Akainu sneered, "The Magma-Magma Fruit is a superior version of the Flame-Flame Fruit, so this temperature is meaningless to me."

The intense heat distorted the air, and the enormous magma fist approached again, suddenly magnifying several times over. This punch directly engulfed both Ace and Luffy. The oppressive heat was unbearable even for Ace, the user of the Flame-Flame Fruit.

"My abilities can't stop them... neither can Jinbe and the others!" Ace gritted his teeth involuntarily, his heart suddenly tightening.

Having escaped the execution platform where certain death was certain, Whitebeard had also weathered his most difficult moment. He launched a fierce counterattack, sinking Blackbeard's body into the sea, while Ace and the others were about to rejoin the main pirate force.

This was practically the last moment before the retreat.

In a minute at most, he will be able to rejoin the main force of the pirate crew and begin to withdraw from the battlefield.

But does that mean... he's going to collapse here?

As Akainu's magma fist crashed down, memories flooded his mind, the most vivid being the childhood he and his two brothers spent together in the mountains of the Goa Kingdom...

At this final moment, the battle between Sig and Hawkeye had just ended, but there were still hundreds of meters between them.

Sig was multitasking; using his telekinesis, he enveloped a small comic book and traversed hundreds of meters, appearing out of nowhere in front of the lava giant fist.

This small Boruto manga book floats in the air, combining with the telekinetic air wall to separate Akainu and Ace Luffy.

boom!

The massive fist of liquid magma slammed into the Boruto manga, as if it had hit a thick wall of air. The scorching lava fist, powerful enough to melt an iceberg instantly, cracked with a crisp sound.

It didn't penetrate?

"What is this? It can't even burn my Magma-Magma Fruit ability?" Akainu was stunned on the spot.

A single blow from the magma fist could instantly melt a massive iceberg dozens of times larger than a giant, but at this moment, the power granted to him by this powerful fruit was completely unleashed.

He forcefully transformed the liquid magma fist into a solid fist, and then used the power of his fist to punch through the small comic book.

But he was already a step too late. When Boruto blocked his punch for a moment, the ground next to him suddenly bulged up like soft dough.

With the help of the female giant Mori, Sabo emerged from underground. He ran over, grabbed Luffy and Ace in each arm, and pounced on them.

"I made it!" Sabo breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Akainu's giant fist finally broke through the air wall with its power, piercing through the small hill on the ground and melting the ground where Luffy and Ace had been standing.

But it was too late.

Although non-flammable materials have no ignition point, they also blocked the teardrop. His attack missed its mark.

Boruto manga pages were scattered all over the ground. These pages hadn't been set on fire; they had been smashed and broken by brute force and were now strewn about.

Akainu stomped on a comic book page, his fist turning dark red once more, and a pungent sulfurous smell filled the air.

It doesn't matter if you dodge it, you can still get hit by another punch.

He strode forward and swung his giant lava fist once again.

But at that moment, a huge fireball roared in from afar, growing larger with the wind until it almost became a pitch-black sea of ​​fire, engulfing Akainu's entire body.

Strange, jet-black flames annihilated the magma on his body, and then began to burn Akainu's body.

"What's going on?" A burning pain shot through Akainu's body, and he froze again.

He, a user of the Magma-Magma Fruit who could burn people with the Flame-Flame Fruit, was actually burned instead.

Did Sig eat another male macadamia fruit?

At that moment, a familiar voice came from afar.

"Overestimating oneself. A flame of this temperature is meaningless."

"Lava kid, next time you should order a birthday cake for Whitebeard."

Chapter 1154 Let the hostages cover the retreat 6k

Akainu did not respond.

When he saw Sieg approaching, his face immediately darkened, and the righteous spirit he had possessed back then seemed to still ache faintly.

Akainu certainly harbors resentment and anger towards Higuma, a hatred second only to that of the Celestial Dragons.

Of course, as a naval officer, he was able to restrain his hatred and did not relentlessly pursue Sieg on this battlefield at Marineford. Instead, he appeared in the places where he thought he was most needed, depending on the changing situation of the battle, making him a model worker among the admirals.

When Sieg blocked his way once again, his anger burned ever hotter, like a volcano about to erupt.

Lava dripped from his fist onto the ground, melting the ice beneath his feet into white vapor.

"Sabo, take your brothers and get out of here quickly."

"The same goes for other mountain bandits and sea pirates."

A tall figure arrived riding on auspicious clouds, leaping down to land with black flames swirling around him like a dragon.
