Chapter 64

For Li Xiao,

he didn't plan to enter the New World for the time being!

For one thing,

in the first half of the Grand Line,

there were still some places worth checking in,

that Li Xiao hadn't been to yet!

For another,

Li Xiao couldn't enter the New World at the moment either!

Normally,

there were only two ways to enter the New World,

either go through the Holy Land of Mary Geoise on the Red Line,

or go through Fish-Man Island under the Red Line!

Of course,

for Li Xiao,

he could completely ride the clouds,

and fly directly over the top of the Red Line!

But the key was,

Fish-Man Island was a very special location,

the reward for checking in would definitely not be bad!

Therefore,

Li Xiao had to go there once!

That is to say,

Li Xiao had to pass through Fish-Man Island to enter the New World!

And Fish-Man Island was located 10,000 meters underwater,

even with the Water-Avoiding Pearl on his person,

Li Xiao could go down into the sea directly with his physical body!

But the problem was,

without anyone to guide him,

he couldn't find the way!

So,

now was not the time to head to the New World!

Therefore,

Li Xiao chose the opposite direction to the Red Line!

Yeah,

that is to say,

Li Xiao was walking back along the first half of the Grand Line!

Where he would end up,

Li Xiao didn't know either!

But that didn't matter,

as long as there were no lunatics who called themselves gods or descendants of the Creator!

As for the Samadhi True Fire attached to Akainu's right arm,

it actually wasn't impossible to extinguish!

As Li Xiao said,

Samadhi True Fire was refined from essence, energy, and spirit,

and it couldn't be extinguished without True Water!

And there was a high probability that there was no True Water or similar substitutes in the pirate world,

therefore,

normally,

Samadhi True Fire could not be extinguished!

But no matter how strong the Samadhi True Fire was,

it was ultimately a divine ability,

catalyzed by Li Xiao's spiritual power!

At this moment,

Li Xiao had already left the Sabaody Archipelago,

and when the spiritual power contained in that Samadhi True Fire was exhausted,

it would naturally extinguish itself!

As for whether Akainu could hold on until that time,

that was unknown!

However,

according to Li Xiao's judgment,

with the intervention and help of some external forces,

the possibility of holding on was quite high!

After all, the spiritual power contained in that Samadhi True Fire wasn't actually much,

Li Xiao never intended to burn Akainu to death from the beginning!

Although the absolute justice that Akainu believed in didn't conform to the values of most people,

especially a new youth like Li Xiao who came from the 21st century!

But it couldn't be denied that,

absolute justice was also a form of justice!

Even if it had flaws,

it couldn't cover up this fact!

In this chaotic pirate world,

in the case of possessing powerful individual strength,

being able to maintain justice was actually already very difficult!

Therefore,

Li Xiao didn't have too much subjective disgust for Akainu,

of course,

he didn't have any extra approval either.

And the reason why he kept fighting Akainu later,

on one hand, Akainu attacked actively,

on the other hand, compared to an old slippery eel like Kizaru,

Akainu, this stubborn guy, was easier to handle!

After all,

if he couldn't hit Kizaru,

could he not hit you, Akainu!

Just as Li Xiao was riding the clouds away,

at the Marine Headquarters,

in an infirmary,

a group of people surrounded Akainu!

Sengoku looked at the glaze-colored flame burning on Akainu's right arm,

and said:

"This flame..."

Kizaru, who was on the side, hurriedly interjected:

"According to what that young man said before he left, this flame is called, um, Samadhi True Fire! He said it cannot be extinguished without True Water!"

"I don't understand what kind of true fire or true water it is, but we have already tried it on the way here!"

"Whether it's seawater or fresh water, ordinary water really cannot extinguish this flame, instead, it will be burned into nothingness in an instant!"

"It's nothingness in the true sense, not turning into water vapor!"

Hearing this,

Sengoku frowned,

and asked Akainu:

"Sakazuki, how do you feel now?"

Akainu had a gloomy face,

shook his head,

and said in a deep voice:

"Not very good! This flame is too weird!"

"Not only can it not be extinguished, but when it burns on my arm, I feel that it is not just burning outside the skin, but simultaneously burning the flesh and blood of the entire arm!"

"Even after elementalization, it cannot be avoided! It can still attach to the elementalized body and continue to burn!"

"Even if I use Armament Haki to isolate it temporarily for now, this is not a long-term solution!"

"This flame has been burning my Armament Haki, and the burning speed is quite fast! My Armament Haki is being consumed in large quantities every second!"

"If this continues, I won't last long!"

"And once the Armament Haki isolation is gone, this flame will probably swallow my whole body along my arm in an instant!"

"Within a short minute, I might die under this flame!"

After the words fell,

the expressions of everyone around couldn't help but sink,

and the atmosphere in the entire room became heavy!

Sengoku shook his head,

and said softly:

"If Kuzan were here, perhaps he could be asked to try!"

"It's just a pity that he is not at the headquarters now, and he can't rush back in a short while!"

At this moment,

Tsuru, who hadn't spoken, spoke slowly:

"Actually, there is a solution right now!"

"First, the simplest solution is to cut off the right arm directly!"

"This way, even if the flame cannot be extinguished, it will not spread along the right arm to Sakazuki's whole body, and naturally, it will be safe!"

As soon as these words came out,

everyone was silent,

and didn't speak!

In fact,

this method, including Akainu himself, had long thought of it!

It's just that,

if he lost an arm,

the impact on Akainu's combat power would be huge!

Especially since this arm was his most used right arm!
