×××××××××××××××
Recognizing the immense threat posed by Auguro's crew, both adversaries simultaneously launched their strongest attacks!
"Your sins must not be allowed to persist in this world!"
Akainu roared. Countless magma fists rained down like a meteor shower, thoroughly enveloping Yoruichi's surroundings.
"Heh! Even at this point, he still clings to his so-called 'Absolute Justice'!" Auguro sneered dismissively at the sight.
Absolute justice represented absolute power, and absolute power inevitably bred absolute corruption. The World Government was a prime example. It was a shame a mere Marine soldier like Akainu couldn't see the correlation.
"Hmph! You think that's enough to defeat us? What a naïve man!" Soi Fan snorted disdainfully.
The next moment, the Spiritual Pressure swirling around her body surged again, forming two spinning whirlwinds on her back.
Mugen Shunkō (Limitless Flash Cry)!
Soi Fan's unique, explosive derivative of Shunkō, its Spiritual Pressure and Kidō far more violent, granting explosive increases in both speed and power! Even a casual strike could generate a gale capable of leveling a forest!
"Haha! Soi Fan is quite fired up! I can't fall behind!"
As Yoruichi's laughter faded, another wave of Spiritual Pressure shot into the sky.
Shunkō: Raishin Senkei (Flash Cry: Thunder God Battle Form)!
Unlike Soi Fan's whirlwinds, Yoruichi's derivative form featured Thunder God Horns on her head and a ring of six Taiko Magatama (drum-shaped commas) on her back. By manipulating the six Magatama and thrusting her hands out, she could unleash a massive, rapid-fire bombardment of lightning.
The power was enough to utterly destroy nearby buildings, rivaling a large-scale natural disaster!
The sudden burst of power from the two women caused both Akainu and Magellan to break out in cold sweat.
Good heavens, I just thought I was holding back my ultimate move.
You two haven't even gone all-out yet, have you?
Boom!
Soi Fan flashed and charged toward Magellan, her speed so blinding that even his Observation Haki stuttered for a moment.
"Dankai Kaze (Severing Barrier Wind)!"
Soi Fan swept her hands horizontally. The Spiritual Pressure, as violent as a hurricane and condensed with supreme Kidō power, cut out like a blade.
Pssh!
A line appeared across the abdomen of Magellan's toxic skeleton giant.
The next second, the violent Spiritual Pressure exploded. The toxic skeleton giant, having just formed and not yet having a chance to attack, was instantly sliced in half. Magellan himself was swept away like trash, crashing into the fortress behind them and smashing through over a dozen walls.
"Damn it! I must take down at least one of them!"
Akainu furiously channeled Ryūsei Kazan (Meteor Volcano), determined to eliminate Yoruichi.
Yoruichi slightly spread her hands, and the thunder drums on her back instantly roared.
In a flash, countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, dense and terrifying like a world-ending judgment. These bolts, though launched after Akainu's attack, arrived first, completely piercing through every single one of the magma fists of the Meteor Volcano!
The residual magma fragments fluttered down like an ash rain. Yoruichi's bright smile stood in stark contrast to Akainu's dark, grim face.
"Justice will absolutely not permit your blasphemy!"
Akainu's body was half-elementalized, clearly indicating he was preparing to fight to the death. Powerhouses in the One Piece world were known for their stamina; fighting intensely for days and nights was no issue.
"Yoruichi, Soi Fan, come back!"
At that moment, Auguro suddenly called the two women back.
They did not hesitate, canceling their Shunkō and instantly flashing back to Auguro's side.
Auguro's intent was clear. They were here to make a statement, not to fight Akainu to the death.
"Akainu!"
Auguro looked down at the rigorously prepared Akainu, his voice sharp.
"Go back and tell the World Government to stop reaching where they don't belong! This is just a small warning!"
"Otherwise, next time, I won't mind unleashing an attack like this right over the heads of those old nobles!"
Attack? What attack?
Akainu didn't understand the meaning of Auguro's words, but it was clearly not a good thing!
Auguro said calmly, "Soi Fan, it's up to you! Let the world see our power!"
"Yes, Lord Soul King!"
Soi Fan stepped forward, drawing her Zanpakutō, Suzumebachi (Hornet), from behind her waist. She pointed the blade toward the massive Impel Down, her voice low.
"Bankai (Final Release)!"
"Jakuhō Raikōben (Hornet Thunder Whip)!"
Immediately following, a massive, golden missile appeared on Soi Fan's shoulder.
The moment the missile aimed at Impel Down, Akainu's Observation Haki began to scream warnings. Every pore on his body felt like it was being intensely pricked by needles.
"Everyone! Retreat inside Impel Down!"
Akainu roared, using Soru repeatedly to snatch Magellan from the wreckage, and charged toward the prison's underground levels.
In truth, while Impel Down had many structures above ground, the truly important areas were all underground. That was the veritable fortress built of Seastone!
Watching Akainu disappear into the underground section of Impel Down, Auguro offered a faint smile. After today, the World Government would be much more compliant!
Swoosh!
The golden missile descended.
The next second, a sun rose from Impel Down. The above-ground structures turned to ash in the scorching heatwave, dissolving into the air. Nothing could stop its progression for even a moment!
The earth shook and groaned. Even the Sea Kings in the surrounding ocean actively avoided the area. That world-destroying power filled every living creature with infinite fear.
Ten seconds later, the heat subsided. The structures on the surface of Impel Down had completely vanished, leaving only a deep, massive crater.
"Let's go!"
Auguro was deeply satisfied with the display. He wanted to use this single strike to tell the World Government and the Five Elders: you are not the only ones who can use a Buster Call to threaten people. Soi Fan's Bankai, in some ways, was even more terrifying than a Buster Call.
Dare to pull another dirty trick, and next time, I'll launch one right at Mariejois!
The group flew leisurely back to the Desert Rose and set sail for Water Seven.
Impel Down Underground.
Akainu collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath.
That was too close!
The terrifying heatwave and shockwave almost reached him!
While his Magu Magu no Mi (Magma-Magma Fruit) could generate temperatures of 2,000 degrees Celsius, it was still far inferior to Soi Fan's strike! He was certain that if his magma had remained there, it would also have been reduced to ashes! The kind that leaves no trace!
"What terrifying power! What is the background of these people?" Akainu slammed his fist into the ground in rage.
As a believer in absolute justice, being repelled by pirates was the greatest insult!
"Warden Magellan! This is bad! The prisoners are rioting!"
Vice-Warden Hannyabal rushed in, shouting anxiously.
"The first and second levels were damaged by the explosion, and many criminals have escaped!"
However, Hannyabal realized after speaking that Magellan had collapsed on the floor, unconscious. He was, after all, not a Logia-type user like Akainu, and his body's durability was far inferior.
Fortunately, Akainu stood up, his posture imposing. His voice was icy and filled with murderous intent.
"Take me there! I want to see who dares to escape!"
