Chapter 344

For this general who set fire to more than half of the Thousand Islands, BIG? OM's priority is higher!

Sima Di could only pray for Akainu—

Hope he doesn't die too horribly.

Then he also flew toward Tenghu's direction.

As for the battlefield...

Blackbeard and Doflamingo, you two better pull your weight and kill as many BIG MOM men as you can!

As for killing the Straw Hat Pirates...

Sorry,

The damage-sharing aura is still active, and Luffy and his crew aren't weak at all—there's no chance for them.

Besides...

It was the true love ring he obtained, allowing Sima Di to return directly to the battlefield anytime.

Therefore,

Sima Di left without worry, found Laughing One, who was "dropping meteorites," the waves he stirred drowned wave after wave of Homies, and seawater's suppression of Devil Fruit powers caused them to die instantly.

Destroying vast stretches of the Thousand Islands' Homie frontline.

And Sima Di finally realized...

Laughing One's "meteorites" weren't pulled from outer space, but were stones dragged down from a "sky island" ten thousand meters above.

The reason they burned like meteors was because Laughing One used his Gravity Fruit to accelerate the stones' descent.

"So that's how it is..."

"Earth's Kármán line is 100 kilometers; this world is much larger than Earth—probably much higher."

Sima Di exerted his Observation Haki to its limit, yet couldn't reach outer space.

Even his mental scan's maximum one-way range yielded nothing.

"I knew it..."

"How could anyone's Observation Haki find meteorites falling from outer space?"

As he thought this...

【Ding! Congratulations on signing in to the iconic scene "General Tenghu's Throwing Stones!"—Reward obtained: "Uchiha Madara's Tenrai Shinsei!"】

——————————

"Uchiha Madara's Tenrai Shinsei": Use Susano'o to form three different seals, summoning two massive meteorites to crash consecutively onto the battlefield and cleanse it!

——————————

Well then!

Now there's actually someone who can summon meteorites...

A flood of information poured into his mind,

To Sima Di's surprise, Tenrai Shinsei was a "unique ability" of Susano'o—he couldn't use it without Susano'o.

While pondering,

Sima Di arrived before Laughing One; both hovered midair, gazing at each other.

"I never expected to meet you again in such a way," Laughing One sighed.

"Indeed," Sima Di sighed too: "If you hadn't just vanished without a word back then, I would've dragged you onto my ship."

Laughing One smiled without comment.

"Boom—!"

A thunderous explosion drew Sima Di's attention; his mental scan lashed toward the source.

It was BIG? OM's move: "Eldoraf's Spear—Ku? Ku? Ku? Ku? Ku? Ku? Ku? Ku? Ku? Ku? Ku? Ku? Ku? Ku? Ku?"

And Akainu was formidable,

His Magma Fruit's awakened domain had already begun assimilating the sea, creating a small patch of territory that indirectly negated seawater's suppression of Devil Fruit powers.

Moreover,

Akainu used part of his magma, drastically lowering its temperature to form stone blocks 0.9, giving other marines a foothold on the sea.

At this moment,

BIG? OM stood atop Zeus, hovering in midair; Akainu emerged halfway from the magma sea, locking eyes with him.

His aura was clearly inferior.

"Just a general? You think you can stop me?" BIG? OM sneered.

Thank you: Monthly votes from "Dreaming Ant" and "Human DY Extinction"!

Thanks to "Dreaming Ant" and "Humanity DY Extinction" for their monthly votes!

87. Smash Tenghu with Meteorites! Akainu's Glorious Comeback!

"Just a general? You think you can stop me?" BIG? OM sneered.

Akainu knew well...

A single general, even against BIG? OM instead of Whitebeard—the strongest man in the world—still struggled immensely; as a veteran Four Emperor, he was no one to underestimate.

Therefore...

Akainu opened with his ultimate technique, fearing instant defeat!

"Then let's see!"

"Magma Fury!!!"

Akainu roared!

The magma on the sea surged upward, forming a magma giant behind Akainu, its surface blazing with furious flames!

The surrounding seawater was massively evaporated into steam, encircling it like a water belt.

Just like a heavenly god descending!

BIG? OM was as insignificant as an ant before this magma giant.

This wasn't over yet!

Sengoku himself even transformed into magma and merged into the magma giant, turning the originally indistinct magma giant into the likeness of Sengoku!

"BIG? OM! Prepare to die!"

The magma giant roared and swung its palm, channeling the might of heaven and earth, and actually knocked away the "Elbaf Spear" that BIG? OM had struck!

Good heavens!

Even Sima Di was shocked!

Because...

Wasn't this move used by Sengoku the "Fire God's Wrath" from the Intent of Four Symbols Decision?

However,

Instead of the flame deity statue that should have formed behind him, he incorporated the magma into a physical form, and he himself, relying on the awakening of the Magma-Magma Fruit, merged into it to form a fusion body integrating offense and defense.

You must know...

That magma giant was powered by Armament Haki as its energy source; its every move already possessed immense power, and now it was further enchanted with the natural might of the Logia type...

Even if it couldn't completely disable BIG? OM, fighting a battle was absolutely no problem.

"Interesting," Sima Di praised.

He didn't expect Sengoku to be able to draw inferences from one instance.

"Although you and I are old friends, our factions differ. Is it appropriate for you to be distracted before me?" Smoker suddenly spoke out.

Causing Sima Di to withdraw part of his attention.

"Smoker, do you really intend to fight me?" Sima Di said with a smile.

Didn't he know Smoker?

Unlike Akainu's hatred of evil, this man was closer to Seeing Kuzan's "limited justice," valuing civilian safety more than Marine justice.

In the original story,

Admiral Fujitora let the members of the "Straw Hat Grand Fleet" go for the sake of the civilians of Dressrosa.

Even...

Because the Straw Hat Pirates "cleaned up the mess" for the World Government, pulling out Doflamingo like a tumor, he bowed and paid his respects to them for it.

Now...

Would Smoker really make a move against Sima Di?
