Chapter 288: Naruto's Trump Card

Although Akainu is very strong,

and has the help of a vast amount of assets from the Marine Headquarters, all the core skills of the 【Magma Mage】 have been upgraded to the maximum level.

Furthermore,

he is an Admiral himself, possessing extremely strong and rich combat techniques and experience; he is not some half-baked amateur who relies entirely on assets to build up his strength.

Looking across both worlds, he is a standout among players.

But it is still not enough.

"Do you like this luxurious funeral, you yellow-haired brat?"

Akainu's expression is cold.

Countless Magma Warriors pounce and kill, with shackles and chains falling densely, shattering Uzumaki Naruto's Shadow Clone Jutsu.

The magma he controls now is not the ordinary magma created by the Magma-Magma Fruit.

It is a terrifying substance from Hell that can incinerate everything.

"What an unreasonable guy. He clearly knows it's not the fault of the Konoha players at all; this is not justice!"

Uzumaki Naruto has never met a guy like this before—he is clearly doing unreasonable, wrong things, yet he remains self-righteous.

The most critical thing is,

the 【Shendian Knight】 is an apostle of justice similar to one who punishes evil; not only can he sense good and evil, but his skill power also has a damage amplification effect against evildoers.

Yet, he cannot sense any evil thoughts from Sakazuki.

From the bottom of his heart, the opponent has no evil thoughts at all.

But the things he does are wrong to an outrageous degree.

"You guy from another world, you are truly hard to fathom. I'll just have to defeat you first."

Uzumaki Naruto swings his Claymore.

The golden flames, like sword wind, easily shred those magma soldiers.

Under Naruto's control, the golden light and flames swirling around his entire body converge into a super-giant golden sword, emitting an extremely rich, sacred aura.

The 【Shendian Knight】 refers to an adjudicator who clears the world of sin on behalf of the gods; he possesses a formidable physique and an affinity for holy light, and is a Holy Light Knight who integrates holy light into knightly martial arts.

Holy Flame Judgment!

With one sword strike, the dense swarm of magma soldiers is completely burned away by the holy flames, not even leaving ashes behind.

Akainu himself is also burned over a large area by the holy flames.

"Is this really... power that a human can control?"

The head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, gulps, feeling a sense of trance.

Looking at that golden figure, it is as if he is seeing a god.

With this one sword strike, even the most prosperous and largest town, the capital of their world's country, would be instantly reduced to ashes.

As for the demons that only die when their heads are cut off by a Nichirin Sword, what are they? Even their corpses can be evaporated; don't worry about them constantly reviving—the Demon King is nothing.

Moreover,

the aura emitted by that golden figure is also of the sacred and light attribute, far exceeding the level of his own 【Evil Hunter】.

Muzan Kibutsuji would probably be burned to ash just by looking up at it.

"So strong, even stronger than my Giant of Light."

Luffy watches Uzumaki Naruto, who is suppressing Akainu, in the projection with glowing eyes.

It is not because the Straw Hat Pirates and the Navy are enemies,

but because this new friend he just met is shining so brightly, so he also feels very happy.

"Holy Light-type melee combat is indeed outrageously strong. Luffy's judgment of people is truly accurate."

Nami is equally envious.

Having experienced hardships since childhood, she does not easily trust others; even if Luffy approves of Uzumaki Naruto, she will instinctively remain on guard.

Therefore, when Tsunade wanted to pay for Navy intelligence, she chose to refuse.

When she saw Uzumaki Naruto's game abilities, her defensive mentality weakened slightly.

Although one cannot leave the Samsara Game without Reward Points,

most players can feel that there is such a thing as compatibility with game abilities.

Just like the strongest Sword Master, Mihawk; after exchanging for Jiangdian abilities, his growth speed was as fast as riding a rocket.

Ordinary players who buy the same abilities see their proficiency grow like a snail crawling; even if they use Reward Points to force it, their strength does not grow as fast as his.

Especially for game abilities that are extremely polarized, like darkness or light.

If it is a guy with an evil heart, even if he forcibly buys 【Holy Light-type】 abilities, he will be rejected by the ability; even if he uses a large amount of Reward Points to upgrade, the power displayed at the same level will be weakened.

A player like Uzumaki Naruto, who can display holy light abilities to such a powerful degree,

must possess a righteous and orderly personality.

"Do you think I will lose just because of this?"

At this point,

even if Akainu regrets it, there is no way; when he goes back, he must severely punish those guys in the Information Department.

This guy named Uzumaki Naruto in front of him is very strong, and the Information Department's judgment had a huge error.

Just thinking about losing tens of thousands of Reward Points after failure makes his heart bleed.

Akainu clenches his fists tightly and slams them fiercely onto the magma-covered ground.

Boom—

The thunder-like sound is the violent collision produced by the magma constantly flowing and rubbing against itself.

Huge magma bubbles explode, splashing up scorching red waves.

The river of magma released earlier was almost completely sucked dry, and a deformed red shadow slowly rose up.

Hideous flame horns and armor-like chunks of Hell Magma wrapped around a body without substance, with red slurry flowing through the gaps.

Hell Flame Demon!

An elemental creature born from Hell Magma, possessing both fire and Hell attributes.

Even for a top-tier player like Akainu, whose spirit attribute has reached 【99】 and who possesses equipment like 【Ocean's Tear】 that enhances Energy Value, he could summon it for three minutes at most.

Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was watching the battle, did not look well; she turned her head and said, "Whoever misjudged the strength of Uzumaki Naruto, their monthly military pay will be halved."

To have even released the Hell Flame Demon, a trump card kept at the bottom of the box, it seems the opponent's strength far exceeds expectations.

Military pay is Reward Point.

The Navy personnel who recorded the data on Uzumaki Naruto felt equally aggrieved.

He had recorded everything truthfully; based on the details revealed in every aspect, the value of this ninja indeed did not exceed four hundred thousand Reward Point.

But the other party has hidden cards; who can be blamed for that?

The Navy is completely unaware that even in the ninja world, Uzumaki Naruto is known as the "most unpredictable" ninja.

Otherwise, Akainu would certainly have been more cautious.

Vice Admiral Tsuru breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "However, since the Hell Flame Demon has been summoned, the outcome is decided."

The Hell Flame Demon is the finishing move of a 【Mage】.

Even when facing the strongest Revolutionary Army Leader and Whitebeard, it could not be killed.

The drawback is that it consumes Energy Value, and if interrupted during the summoning process, it will cause a severe backlash.

She had just been worried about this point; ninjas sound like assassin-type players skilled in sneak attacks, and she was very afraid that Sakazuki's Flame Demon summoning would be interrupted, but now it seems the opponent's combat awareness is still quite lacking.

A greenhorn after all.

"Even the Hell Flame Demon has been summoned; the strength is quite strong, right? This should be the Navy's most elite combat power, right?"

Terumi Mei, inside Stone City,

looked at the Hell Flame Demon summoned by Akainu and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She is currently an 【Explosion Flame Envoy】,

and although her core abilities are different, she is also a fire-type Mage, so she is the most capable of judging the strength level of this Marine Admiral.

Even if her "pay-to-win" amount is temporarily surpassed by Orochimaru and her net worth is slightly lower than Orochimaru's,

everyone is a top-tier player, and having never truly fought, Terumi Mei does not feel she would lose to Orochimaru.

Judging with the eyes of the strongest player in the ninja world, if she were to replace this Marine Admiral's enemy, she could resolve the battle in half a minute.

The Konoha player is still too weak.

"Boring."

Just as Terumi Mei made her judgment, the situation of the battle changed; that Hell Flame Demon with its intimidating aura had one of its arms severed by a continuously spinning weapon.

In the center of the combat space, a spinning top was rotating crazily, rippling out waves of cyan whirlwinds that stirred the entire combat space into a constant roar.

Uzumaki Naruto's five fingers were gripping the air, and the Rasengan gradually dissipated;

previously, the Rasengan was his main means of attack, but now, in most situations, he uses it as a launcher to fire this weapon.

Coming from a magical spinning top world, most of the origin is contained within the spinning top, and the rotating spinning top can summon the phantom of a holy beast; humans who successfully master the spinning top are called Burst Warrior.
