Chapter 1809: Combat Wisdom

Taking advantage of the opportunity Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang created, Jinbe rushed forward in a few steps, throwing a straight punch toward Akainu. This was the Shark Skin Fist from Fish-Man Karate.

Akainu had no intention of dodging, meeting it head-on with a magma-fied fist.

With a boom, the ground around the two cracked, and magma erupted on Akainu's arm, forming a secondary impact force.

Jinbe only felt his entire right arm go numb, sliding out as his wooden sandals plowed the ground. Stabilizing his figure, he felt the burning pain on his knuckles. If this were in the sea, he would have the confidence to fight Akainu, but unfortunately, this was land, and he couldn't exert his Fish-Man advantage.

Just as Jinbe stood firm, a heatwave appeared from behind him. The prison life in Impel Down had made his body somewhat sluggish.

With a bang, Akainu punched Jinbe in the back. Before any injuries were visible on his back, Jinbe's chest began to turn red, like a branding iron.

Scalding magma sprayed from Jinbe's chest, and the burning sensation suffered by his internal organs nearly caused him to faint.

After rolling a few times, Jinbe, clutching Luffy in his arms, collapsed to the ground.

"Wasted a few minutes of my time."

Akainu didn't even look at Jinbe again, instead turning his gaze to Amu. Amu barely managed to stand up from the ground.

"Put me down. Dying for someone like me... is not worth it."

Ace's weak voice reached Amu's ears. Amu's large hand patted him, and Ace groaned.

"Amu, no, for you."

Cold air spat from Amu's mouth. As long as it was something Su Xiao ordered, it would never stop before death.

"Sorry."

Ace was very regretful, regretting his recklessness, the recklessness of going to kill Blackbeard alone. He also hated his own self-pity. Regardless of who his biological father was, he now had family willing to give their lives to save him.

Akainu just wanted to step forward to finish off Amu when Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang appeared near him again. This time, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang didn't get close to Akainu but stuck out its tongue, its expression clearly saying: "I'm going to piss you off, come and hit me."

"Get lost."

Akainu clenched his fists, and the surrounding magma surged high. Although Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang performed a "diagonal Thomas roll," the fur on one side of its body was burned pitch black. Now, except for the strip on its head and back, the fur all over its body was somewhat charred.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, merged into the environment, knew this wouldn't work. If this continued, it would become a roasted whole dog.

With a bang, a sonic boom exploded, and an arm-thick hole was blasted into Akainu's chest.

"Amu, go board the ship with Xiang Bubu over there."

Su Xiao, with cold air rising all over his body, walked over from afar, blood aura seemingly forming a grinning beast above him.

Akainu's face turned gloomy. Su Xiao was different from the out-of-condition Jinbe.

Su Xiao glanced at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, whose fur was charred black, and then at Amu, who had large-area burns all over his body. A smile gradually appeared on his face, and the veins on his neck bulged.

Boom!

The ground under Su Xiao's feet sank into a large depression, and he instantly disappeared from where he was, appearing in front of Akainu again.

With a clang, magma splashed on both sides of the Checking Zhan Long Shan's blade. Su Xiao bent his body to dodge the magma flying toward his face and kicked straight out.

Magma wrapped around Su Xiao's lower leg, pale blue electric arcs flashed, and the magma dissipated.

Akainu's arms were already elementalized. He curled his right arm, and the churning magma transformed into a dog's head. The dog's mouth opened wide, attacking Su Xiao's head.

Su Xiao didn't dodge Akainu's attack but leaned forward, the long sword slashing through Akainu's magma arm. This wasn't Akainu's elementalized arm, but magma generated by the opponent's fruit ability and then shaped into an arm, so it didn't fear the Checking Zhan Long Shan wrapped in Green Steel Shadow energy.

The long sword slashed through the magma toward Akainu's throat. Akainu didn't dodge either, continuing to blast toward Su Xiao's head with "Dog Bite Red Lotus."

Boom!

Magma splashed more than ten meters away. Su Xiao was completely wrapped in magma, and the tip of the Checking Zhan Long Shan also slashed through Akainu's chest, blood spraying out. At the last moment, Akainu tilted his body, avoiding decapitation.

An arm covered in magma pierced through the magma, grabbing toward Akainu's head. But just as this arm was about to grab Akainu's head, the magma wrapping Su Xiao suddenly turned deep red, and the temperature became terrifying.

"I'll give you a magnificent funeral."

Just as Akainu finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. The magma on the arm in front of him slid off, revealing a pale blue crystal layer. This was actually a hollow arm formed by a crystal layer.

A whimpering slashing sound attacked from behind Akainu. Just as he was about to dodge, the magma in front of him exploded, and a large piece of crystal debris surged toward Akainu.

The long sword cut through flesh and blood. After Su Xiao slashed down, Akainu turned into magma, a large amount of blood sprayed out, and an arm fell to the ground.

Su Xiao's head-on collision with Akainu earlier was a trap. After being submerged by magma, he immediately wrapped his entire body in a crystal layer and used the Dragon Shadow Flash ability to change position, arriving behind Akainu.

As for the arm grabbing toward Akainu's head, that was a hollow arm formed by the crystal layer, and the control principle was the same as manipulating the Exile.

Akainu had fallen for it, and for this, he paid with a right arm.

Akainu, having canceled his elementalization, appeared more than ten meters away, blood spraying from his severed arm. He just glanced at the severed arm on the ground, his eyes showing no regret or anger. As for his gloomy face, when was he ever not gloomy?

"Pirate."

Magma flames ignited in Akainu's hand, pressing against the severed arm. The wound hissed, and the smell of burnt flesh and skin permeated the air.

Akainu had no expression on his face. Pain made him hate pirates even more. In his cognition, regardless of whether a pirate's character was good or bad, as long as they bore the name of a pirate, they should be eradicated. Or rather, Akainu's understanding was: Pirate = yearning for freedom = not thinking about labor = unwilling to take responsibility = threatening most people = sea villain = burning, killing, and looting = needs to be eradicated. A simple conversion was: Pirate = needs to be eradicated.

Su Xiao wouldn't watch Akainu treat his wound. He rushed forward, blade light paving the way.

Akainu clearly knew he couldn't be attacked by Su Xiao, otherwise he would be captured in his physical form immediately. That pale blue energy was more restraining to fruit ability users than Haki.

Akainu swung his arm, and several magma fists flew out, blasting onto the blade light.

In just the blink of an eye, Su Xiao was in close quarters with Akainu, his long sword slashing continuously, cutting Akainu into a dozen segments.

The magma-fied Akainu turned into a puddle. The next moment, a dark red arm formed from magma.

"Hellhound."

The speed of this punch was fast to the extreme. Su Xiao had no chance to dodge, he could only try his best to turn sideways.

With a bang, the dark red arm blasted into Su Xiao's shoulder, directly piercing through his body.

Akainu was just about to erupt Hellhound to cause destruction inside Su Xiao's body when he suddenly discovered that his arm had actually canceled its elementalization. There was a type of energy in the opponent's body that greatly restrained elementalization.

Swish~

The long sword stabbed into Akainu's lower jaw. At the critical moment, Akainu tilted his head, and the tip of the blade pierced out from behind his ear, failing to damage his brain.

Just having his head pierced by the long sword, Akainu tilted his head violently, actually using his skull to jam the long sword. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was running toward the outside of the port, saw this scene. It suddenly felt that, given Akainu's ruthlessness and decisiveness, it wasn't wronged at all for being burned into such a sorry state.

Akainu's pupils were trembling. To say it didn't hurt would be a lie, but he endured it. Just as he was preparing to elementalize his single arm to incinerate Su Xiao's internal organs, Su Xiao's left arm swung down, the crystal layer wrapped under his palm forming a blade, severing Akainu's left arm.

With a pfft, the remaining half of the Exile pierced through the back of Akainu's head, flying out from his eye socket.

The half arm that pierced into Su Xiao's shoulder turned into magma, but when he was blasted through the shoulder by Akainu, Su Xiao had already wrapped a crystal layer inside the wound. Although it hurt him so much that his face was covered in cold sweat, it also prevented magma from surging into his chest cavity.

Magma surged at Akainu's severed arm, forming a new arm and blasting toward Su Xiao's head. It was still Hellhound. He hadn't died even after having his head pierced.

Su Xiao released the hilt, leaped backward, and blood aura gathered above him. The formed Blood Beast pounced toward Akainu.

With a boom, the blood aura exploded. The attack of the Blood Beast was just that straightforward and neat.

The crystal layer inside the blood hole on Su Xiao's shoulder dissipated, blood surged out, and the Exile wrapped around his left arm also detached. His left arm hung powerlessly. His left arm couldn't move just now. The reason he could use a palm blade to sever Akainu's magma arm was that he had wrapped the split Exile around his left arm, using the manipulation of the Exile to make his left arm move. Combat wasn't just you slash me and I punch you; it required using one's brain.
