The writhing magma gradually healed Akainu's wounds.

In the blink of an eye, his body returned to normal.

Perhaps his power was no longer sufficient to maintain the enormous lava behemoth, for he slowly dispersed the terrifying beast and revealed his true form once more.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The intense battles that followed had left Akainu physically exhausted.

But after taking a deep breath...

His eyes suddenly became incredibly determined, as if a raging fire was burning within them.

Akainu's life is burning!

"bring it on!"

"I will not let any pirate escape justice before I die!!!"

boom!!!

Extreme heat erupted from Akainu's body, followed by a thick layer of Armament Haki that enveloped his entire body.

Although he wasn't as obsessed with taijutsu as Aokiji.

But how could someone who defeated Aokiji in the Marshal competition not understand taijutsu?!

"A massive fireball!"

bake!!!

Scalding magma once again erupted from Akainu's body.

This time, however, the blazing red magma did not break through the Armament Haki. Instead, it seemed to suddenly expand Akainu's upper body, swinging a huge fist and smashing it towards Zoro.

The magma flowing within his body, like muscle lines, emitted a bright red glow beneath his dark, armor-colored skin.

The surrounding air was distorted under Akainu's attack.

Fear spread outwards with the oppressive force.

"What a troublesome navy!"

Seeing that Akainu still had the strength to unleash such a powerful attack, Zoro in his Ashura form grinned, revealing a satisfied smile.

"But this is better!"

"After all... only someone of such strength could ignite my desire to wield my sword!!!"

"Nine-Sword Style: Ashura - Severing Boundary, Great Tornado!!!"

boom!!!

Zoro's body suddenly spun around, creating another massive tornado that hurtled towards the oncoming Akainu.

In an instant...

The crimson giant slammed its fist into the storm, which acted as a barrier.

As the hurricane rotates at high speed, the heat of the lava is quickly carried away, forming scorching hot winds that surge toward the two sides of the collision.

"Damn it!!!"

Akainu's eyes bulged with fury.

He couldn't understand why this guy in front of him had suddenly become so powerful!

Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.

correct!

It turns out that from beginning to end... he had overlooked the existence of one person!

A figure who never actually appeared on the battlefield, yet whose presence was felt throughout the battlefield and whose influence was profound on each battlefield!

Red, the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates!

That guy... is the key to the Straw Hat crew!

Everything started to change after he appeared.

That guy definitely has some incredible power hidden within him!

Akainu secretly made up his mind, deciding that after all this was over, he would definitely investigate this pirate he had overlooked.

But just then...

A chilling voice, as if from hell, suddenly appeared behind him.

"What are you thinking, Navy!?"

Akainu: ! ! ?

Akainu's eyes twitched, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

"when!?"

He tried to turn back.

But just then, a feeling of weakness suddenly came over me.

Then, the voice behind him continued:

"You were too careless, Navy!"

"You don't actually think... I'm like that lecherous chef, someone who just acts recklessly without thinking, do you!?"

"You actually created such a huge shadow for me to use? Have you forgotten how you were attacked in the first place?!"

"Hidden Blade Style: Stealth Assault - Dragon Fang!"

Swish!

Zoro suddenly appeared from Akainu's shadow and immediately arranged his nine long swords in the air, left and right, in two rows, like the two sharp fangs of a dragon.

He then suddenly thrust his weapon at the gigantic Akainu.

Pfft!!!

Despite being a naturally formed lava body, two jets of blood gushed out like fountains the moment Zoro's longsword pierced through it.

The fusion of steel attributes and Armament Haki allowed the already sharp longsword to easily pierce through Akainu's sturdy Armament Haki armor.

The ghostly energy, carrying the characteristics of the Ghost type, was injected directly into Akainu's body like a phantom and spread rapidly.

Then, the Conqueror's Haki, which was hidden beneath the demonic aura and fused with the dragon attribute energy, suddenly erupted within Akainu's body, wreaking havoc on everything!

What appears to be an ordinary attack actually contains Zoro's complete mastery of Pokémon power!

"what--!!!"

Having taken the full force of Zoro's attack, Akainu let out a shrill scream.

This was the most painful attack he had suffered since he began fighting.

Compared to this attack, the previous wounds were nothing but minor, insignificant scratches.

Under the influence of Haki, Akainu's body, which had naturally shrunk, rapidly shrank back to its normal form.

Behind him, Zoro suddenly drew the two swords from his back, leaving another bloody gash.

It dissipated rapidly in the sweltering air.

"It's over!"

Two glints of light flashed in Zoro's eyes.

Before Akainu could fully turn around, he used his sharp movements to suddenly retreat, putting a great distance between himself and Akainu.

Only then did Akainu, affected by the sword aura and Haki within his body, manage to turn around.

"hateful!"

Affected by the Pokémon's move, he showed a troubled expression, but he forced himself to continue fighting and raised his fist again.

"Haunted Dog!!!"

wow——

Suddenly, a huge dog head with interlocking fangs appeared and chased after Zoro.

But at this moment, Zoro, with his three heads and six arms, slowly put away the Sandai Kitetsu and Zacian, and clenched the Wado Ichimonji in his hand, while simultaneously picking up the scabbard of the Wado Ichimonji with his other hand.

"Nine mountains and eight seas converge into one realm; those who gather a thousand realms together form a small thousand worlds."

"Taking the mountains as its foundation and the sea as its spirit!"

"The three thousand worlds are at my disposal!"

Zoro suddenly raised his head, his eyes reflecting the blazing lava rushing towards him, but his expression remained perfectly calm.

As Zoro uttered each word, the two heads and four arms behind him seemed to rotate in slow motion, as if in a movie, merging all the swords one by one with the Wado Ichimonji in Zoro's hand.

And it slowly returned to its sheath.

In an instant, Zoro's aura suddenly vanished, leaving him standing in mid-air as if he were nothingness.

His body also reverted to its original form, as if it had never undergone Mega Evolution or Pokémonization.

"Whoo~"

Zoro gently exhaled a breath of sword energy.

next moment……

He stood with his sword drawn, and spoke softly:

"Return to the Realm·Itto-ryu·Iai..."

"Lion's Song!!!"

Swish! ! !

A tiny beam of light suddenly flashed across the sky, as if cutting the entire world in two.

When the scene shifted back to the battlefield, Zoro was seen to have appeared behind Akainu, kneeling on one knee in mid-air.

However, the Wado Ichimonji in his hand was pointing high into the air to the side.
