Chapter 2640

Fourth Hokage: "I clearly remember! That time, the Chairman used the Dark-Dark Fruit to extract Akainu's Magma Fruit—and only then did Akainu die... But! It's also true to say Akainu died because of the Marquis Wo Ban."

Bofengshui Sect leader rubbed his chin, sinking into memory.

Lei Mu: "So... this is how I came to possess the Magma Fruit on my hand!"

Lei Mu finally understood.

Tony Isn't the Richest: "The Marquis Wo Ban wields divine authority—those he kills... become his slaves! I never saw him summon Akainu before, so I thought it impossible... I never imagined he'd hidden it this long!"

Tony Stark clucked in amazement.

I Am the Marquis: "Hmph! I didn't hide it... After all! In my Necrotic Prison, there are more than a dozen warriors stronger than Akainu! Every time I summon a warrior, it's entirely random..."

I Am the Marquis: "So this is merely bad luck for Akainu in the past—he never got chosen. It doesn't mean I concealed anything."

Hui Yuanai: "This is terrifying... Wait...! Why do I feel this summoned Akainu is infinitely stronger than the original one?"

Hui Yuanai stared, dumbfounded.

The current Akainu was terrifying—he unleashed a meteor shower of fire.

Everywhere his gaze reached was covered in meteoric magma... The entire world seemed to have transformed into a realm of lava in an instant.

Luo Hao Sect Leader: "Perhaps the Marquis Wo Ban is now channeling vast divine power into him."

"That's why he's been enhanced!"

":..."

Ze Tian Gang Ji: "Now that I think about it... the Marquis Wo Ban truly loves Akainu deeply."

I Am the Marquis: "Shut up! This is merely because, when I upgraded my Necrotic Prison's divine authority, some divine power leaked onto the top-tier warriors within it!"

I Am the Marquis: "This allowed those top-tier warriors to further strengthen themselves... granting them roughly god-tier combat power."

I Am the Marquis: "Akainu is just one of them—not treated differently. I already said: in my Necrotic Prison, there are more than a dozen warriors stronger than Akainu!"

Du Dao Ya Zi: "Then the question arises... where are the Marquis Wo Ban's other warriors as strong as Akainu?"

Magical Girl Illya: "Exactly! Just one Akainu tipped the battle decisively in our favor."

"If there were a few more! We could easily decide the outcome!"

I Am the Marquis: "Two! I left them behind in the God-Slayer World."

I Am the Marquis: "To suppress the earth veins!"

I Am the Marquis: "Of course, this... the real reason is, I thought Akainu alone would be enough to handle the opponent."

Atreus: "Terrifying!"

Ze Tian Gang Ji: "This guy? I give him 82 points! I'm sending the Marquis Wo Ban six six six in appreciation."

Xiao Zhizhi Shu: "... I want to say: even though you gave the Marquis Wo Ban a hundred points... the full score is actually a thousand! *manually awkward emoji*"

"

Ze Tian Gang Ji: "I didn't! Don't make things up!"

Railgun: "Is only me paying attention... to the shock and disbelief on that transmigrator's face?"

Railgun: "The Chairman's livestream is truly incredible... that guy had already fled far away... yet he's still clearly captured by the camera!"

Misaka Mikoto sincerely remarked.

Ainz Ooal Gown: "It's only natural to be shocked... judging by his earlier expression, he clearly recognized Red Red and Marquis Wo Ban! Yet now... yet another enhanced Akainu has appeared among his enemies..."

Su Xiao Xiao: "That's normal... you must admit: among transmigrators, Akainu's fame surpasses even Marquis Wo Ban—and even Tu Shan Hong Hong."

Thor Odinson: "Can't argue... but come to think of it, I do love One Piece more than God-Slayer and Fox Spirit Red Memoir!"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Enough! Stop talking... look, I feel the battle over there is about to end."

On the battlefield.

Jichang Wei's face turned extremely grim; he stared at the encircling mechanical troops and muttered, "How could this happen... why are these guys so strong!"

Jichang Wei had originally predicted the Marquis Wo Ban to be a Warring States-level threat... but now even Akainu had surpassed Warring States standards... then how strong could the still-unmoved Marquis Wo Ban—or Su Han—possibly be? Jichang Wei dared not imagine.

After several shifts in expression, Jichang Wei made his decision: "Retreat!"

Though unwilling, Jichang Wei knew his life was the most important.

Compared to life, everything else is false.

Akainu's expression remained blank; he suddenly lifted his head, sensing Jichang Wei's movement with Haki.

He clenched his fist, layers of magma swirling around him—it was his ultimate technique: Great Eruption! Like a volcano erupting after long suppression, he punched forward, and space itself seemed to burn.

All mechanical soldiers standing between Akainu and Jichang Wei were utterly incinerated by the terrifying magma.

"Damn it! Retreat quickly!"

Jichang Wei barely activated his shield, blocking the blow.

His face turned deathly pale; sensing mortal danger, he twisted the void behind him, opening a portal of spacetime.

Akainu's entire body turned to magma; he slithered through the molten path like a serpent, appearing before Jichang Wei in mere breaths.

He clenched his fist, combining Armament Haki with 100% output of the Magma Fruit, and unleashed a thunderous punch.

The shield shattered.

Jichang Wei's pupils shrank violently—he couldn't dodge in time; the terrifying punch pierced straight through his chest.

His internal organs were completely incinerated.

"You..."

Jichang Wei opened his mouth, blood spurting from nose and lips.

A bitter smile appeared on his face: "I never imagined... I'd die the same way as Ace..." As his words ended, terrifying flames erupted, wrapping his entire body, reducing him to ash.

Akainu stared blankly at the scene, never uttering a single word from start to finish.

As if devoid of emotion.

Su Han raised an eyebrow; the next moment, a crisp system notification echoed in his ear.

"Ding! Quest successfully completed! Guild Leader Su Xiao Xiao gains 30,000 points! This old man is Hou Jue gains 70,000 points! Tu Shan Hong Hong gains 4 points! Moon Field Rabbit gains 10,000 points!"
