Chapter 101: Akainu Acts, Super Heavenly Obstruction Star Shake

The chaos on the battlefield intensified. Countless Marines and pirates stood frozen in place as if struck by a body-binding spell.

Their facial muscles twisted as they desperately tried to break free from this invisible restraint, yet they could only emit muffled groans.

Doflamingo watched this scene, and behind his signature sunglasses, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.

"Fuffuffuffu." His laughter carried a hint of amusement. "Isn't this a bit too exaggerated? Paralyzing the entire battlefield with a single move — truly a monster."

Not far away, the Oni Spider, who was locked in fierce combat with Marco, suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. His movements instantly slowed, and the hand gripping his sword began trembling uncontrollably.

"Damn it!" The Oni Spider cursed in a low voice.

Blue flames ignited on Marco's body, effortlessly neutralizing the Paralysis Powder's effects. In a flash he appeared before the Oni Spider, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Now is not the time to tangle with you!"

The next moment, his leg slammed into the Oni Spider's abdomen.

"Bang!"

The Oni Spider had no chance to react before being sent flying by this kick, crashing heavily into a distant tree trunk.

Marco surveyed his surroundings, looking at the chaotic battlefield, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. "The chance has come!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Marco's body was instantly completely enveloped in blue flames. He transformed into a gigantic phoenix.

Using the dense forest Madara created as cover, Marco's figure shuttled between the treetops, racing toward the Execution Platform.

At this moment, a deep and cold voice rang out across the battlefield.

"How unsightly." Akainu slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over the chaotic battlefield: "To actually be beaten into this state by mere pirates."

"Meteor Volcano!" Akainu shouted in a low voice.

Countless scorching magma erupted from Akainu's hands, shooting into the high sky like rockets. In the blink of an eye, these molten rocks vanished into the cloud layers.

Immediately after, a rumbling sound came from the sky. Countless gigantic magma fists fell from the cloud layers like meteors, carrying a heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating momentum as they smashed toward the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The magma fists landed in the sea of trees, instantly triggering a large-scale fire. The flames spread at an astonishing speed, soon devouring vast areas.

Thick smoke billowed, heat waves surged, and the entire battlefield fell into a sea of fire.

The high temperature rapidly dispersed the Paralysis Powder permeating the air. However, this liberation came accompanied by immense pain.

Whether Marine or pirate, all suffered burns of varying degrees; miserable cries rose and fell continuously, and the air was filled with a scorched stench.

Seeing this, Aokiji frowned. He said in a low voice: "That guy Akainu, to actually attack the Marines as well."

However, Akainu's expression remained stern, his eyes showing not the slightest ripple; necessary sacrifices are unavoidable. For the sake of Justice, this price amounts to nothing.

In his eyes, whether civilians or Marines, all can be discarded before "Absolute Justice."

Scorching flames swept across the entire battlefield, thick smoke billowing, obscuring the sky. Akainu's attack not only dispersed the Paralysis Powder but also completely changed the course of the battle.

Whitebeard stood on the Moby Dick, narrowing his eyes as he watched this scene. His signature crescent mustache trembled slightly, and a trace of anger surfaced on his face.

"Akainu brat, you think this level can stop us?"

Before his voice fell, Whitebeard violently threw a punch. The air twisted around his fist, as if torn by an invisible force. A powerful shockwave whistled out, heading straight for the sea of fire.

Boom! Wherever the shockwave passed, flames were extinguished instantly like candles slapped out by a giant hand. In the blink of an eye, a road leading to the Execution Platform appeared in the sea of fire. Whitebeard's voice reverberated across the battlefield: "Sons, charge forward!"

Seeing this opportunity, the pirates immediately sprang into action. They surged toward this passage like a tide.

Jozu's diamond body sparkled in the firelight, like a moving fortress, clearing the way for his comrades behind him and forming a powerful charging momentum.

The other Marines likewise gathered toward the central passage.

Just then, in the center of the Susanoo, Uchiha Madara raised his head, his gaze falling on the continuously falling molten rock. A trace of interest flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.

"Interesting, this reminds me of a Technique." Madara murmured softly, his hands beginning to form Hand Seals: "Let's experiment with it!"

On the Execution Platform, Sengoku sensed something was wrong. His expression instantly turned tense, and he shouted loudly: "Stop him!"

Kizaru and Aokiji reacted immediately, launching attacks simultaneously.

Kizaru turned into a dazzling beam of light, instantly appearing above Madara, a fierce kick aimed straight at the top of Madara's head. At the same time, Aokiji's ice blades shot toward Madara like a rain of arrows.

The moment Kizaru and Aokiji's attacks were about to land, Madara's hands suddenly clasped together. A terrifying energy wave instantly exploded around him.

Kizaru and Aokiji immediately realized the situation was bad and quickly retreated, assuming defensive stances.

"Super Heavenly Obstruction Star Shake!" Madara shouted in a low voice.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for that heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating strike. However, unexpectedly, nothing happened, and the battlefield suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Just then, the eerie silence was suddenly shattered by a roar.

"Ace!!!"

Everyone's gazes unanimously turned toward the direction the sound came from.

A ship was seen descending from the sky, with Luffy, Ivankov, and others standing on it. Their sudden appearance instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

Ivankov warily surveyed the surroundings, his face written with worry. Seeing the sea of fire before him and the gigantic Susanoo standing in the middle, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"Luffy-boy! Be careful, something's wrong!" Ivankov warned in a low voice, his tone carrying obvious tension.

However Luffy seemed not to notice the abnormality around him. His gaze stared fixedly at the distant Execution Platform, his eyes flashing with a determined light.

"Ace, wait for me!" Luffy suddenly shouted loudly, about to rush forward.

Ivankov hurriedly grabbed his arm: "Wait, Luffy-boy! We need to figure out what happened here first!"

Luffy struggled, trying to break free from Ivankov's grip, but the latter held him tight and would not let go.

Just then, a massive figure suddenly blocked his path: "Brat, don't rush to your death! Assess the situation clearly before acting!"

Luffy's eyes widened as he exclaimed: "Uncle Whitebeard!"

Whitebeard said: "This isn't a place where you can just rush about on your own!"

Hearing these words, Luffy calmed down a little.

Seeing this, Ivankov slightly relaxed his restraint on Luffy but remained vigilant. He said softly to Luffy: "Calm down, Luffy-boy. We have to think carefully about how to save Ace."
