Chapter 64: Death-Thunder Seed — Brutally Beating Akainu!
Marineford — the heart of the Marines!
Just as Admiral Akainu pressed his advantage, determined to eliminate the massive threat named Rok,
a new force suddenly crashed into the battlefield.
A mysterious black-clad squad led by a top-hat-wearing man wielding a steel pipe tore through Marine lines with terrifying efficiency.
"Sabo?!"
Even Rok was stunned.
The Revolutionary Army?! Here, now?!
Was this to help Luffy? Or… had Monkey D. Dragon finally shown himself?!
Rok's mind raced, but he quickly realized the Revolutionary squad wasn't purely here for Luffy. Robin held special meaning to the Revolutionaries, and with Ivankov already present… It made sense that Dragon would send Sabo.
Whether the leader himself was hiding in the shadows — that was another question.
"Revolutionary Army?! Damn it all, why are they here NOW?!"
Akainu's face twisted in fury.
The tide had just turned in their favor.
And now these criminals were treating Marine Headquarters like a playground?!
"Sooner or later, you'll pay for everything you've done, Akainu."
Rok smirked, casually weaving through the rain of Ryūsei Kazan (Meteor Volcano).
Alice's life still hung by a thread.
Rage burned in him, but blind anger wouldn't beat an Admiral.
He had only just eaten two divine fruits — he couldn't steamroll one yet.
So he calmed down.
And began setting his trap.
"Hmph. Worry about yourself, Rok."
Akainu sneered, fully confident.
He had the upper hand. Rok was trapped. Lightning was scary, but magma was hotter.
"Time's up, Admiral."
Suddenly,
brilliant azure lightning exploded across Akainu's body.
No real damage — yet.
But Akainu's eyes widened in shock.
Shit — careless!
The azure lightning instantly mutated, turning blood-red.
And then,
Akainu felt his soul burning.
A pain like ten thousand ants devouring him from the inside.
What the hell is this?!
Even the ruthless Akainu panicked.
He immediately tried to elementalize fully into magma to escape.
But Rok had been waiting for this exact moment.
Time to beat a drowning dog.
BOOM!
A fist wrapped in Conqueror's Haki slammed into Akainu's chest.
One punch — blood sprayed from the Admiral's mouth, elementalization forcibly broken.
Then another — Armament Haki-coated — crushed into his sternum.
This was Rok's on-the-spot creation:
Death-Thunder Seed A fusion of Death God soul-burn + Thunder God lightning.
Pure surprise attack.
And Akainu walked right into it.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Fist after fist rained down on the Admiral's face.
While his soul was being torn apart, Akainu couldn't fight back properly.
His face was beaten into a swollen pig head.
Desperate, Akainu finally dissolved the magma coliseum around them.
Maintaining it had cost him focus.
Now survival came first.
And that was exactly what Rok wanted.
90,000,000 Volts · One-Sword Style — Thunder Dragon Devours the Red Dog!
KABOOOOOOOM!!!!
As the magma walls vanished,
every eye on Marineford snapped to the center.
The Marines were ready to cheer Akainu's victory.
Instead,
a colossal Thunder Dragon made of billions of crimson arcs burst into the sky — with a battered, bloody Akainu impaled on its jaws.
Sengoku's jaw nearly hit the floor.
What?!
Akainu… lost?!
Impossible!
BOOM!
Rok flashed above the dragon,
and with one final slash, sent the Admiral crashing back into the ice like a meteor.
"Hmph. Got off easy."
Rok didn't pursue.
Not mercy — Akainu was already recovering and likely setting another trap.
Beating him half to death this time was already a miracle.
Admirals were monsters. Killing one wasn't that simple.
And there was no need to obsess right now.
He had planted a Death-Thunder Seed deep in Akainu's body.
Next time they met?
The Admiral would remember this day very clearly.
WHOOSH!
Rok vanished in a flash of lightning, rushing straight to Momousagi, Marco, and the barely-breathing Alice.
Meanwhile,
the shockwave of Rok publicly humiliating an Admiral rippled across the battlefield.
And just then,
Whitebeard finally stepped onto the ice himself.
Marine morale?
Collapsed.
From Fleet Admiral Sengoku to the lowliest soldier,
no one had ever imagined this outcome.
And from this day forward,
one name was carved into the soul of every person in Marineford:
Douglas D. Rok
After this war,
that name would echo across the entire sea.
