Mist-shrouded dawn, the "Orange Mothership" hovered above Marineford like a floating orange apocalypse.
Leon stood atop the command tower, the counter on his right hand ticking: 112:00:00 (frozen).[System Alert:Next node·War-Core locked]Nami unfolded the Paramount War battlefield map, finger landing on a flame-outlined route: "Target: Marineford·Paramount War. The war-core lies beneath the 'Execution Platform'—backup port 10."Leon spawned "War-Fire Stabilisers"—red glowing wing-plates that generate shields synchronised with battlefield flames, allowing the mothership to hover above the execution stand without being swallowed by magma.They landed on "War-Fire Glider Blocks", leaving two glowing footprints like pixel-outlined paths.
Far away, atop the execution stand, a crimson beam shot skyward—an inverted sword of execution.Below the stand a crimson-suited teen blocked: "Humans? Why carry Sea-Prism scent?"Leon showed the pseudo Sea-Prism badge: "We are 'pixel envoys' here to purify the war-core—please guide us."The teen hesitated, but a crimson chain slashed—Admiral "Akainu" arrived on the "War-Fire Ark", body wrapped in magma chains, voice like volcanic eruption: "Mortals, dare trespass in my domain!"Akainu raised his hand; "Magma Iron Chain" shot at the mothership—a one-metre crimson chain straight at the hull.
Leon instantly spawned a "bedrock dome" to shield the ship; the chain struck the dome, erupting kilometre-crimson mist yet failed to penetrate.Akainu's pupils shrank: "Blocked the magma chain? Interesting!"
He turned and flew toward the base of the execution stand, voice echoing: "Come to the base, defeat me, the war-core is yours; fail, and stay forever as war-fire fuel!"Leon and Nami glanced at each other, nodding together: "Exactly what we want."At the base of the execution stand, suspended above magma, pure crimson-crystal construction, the central altar hovered a twenty-metre "War-Core Heart"—surface covered with crimson magma and black code, each beat releasing a ring of magma pulses.The system popped:[Backup Port 10:War-Core End Heart]
[Purification condition:defeat guardian BOSS·War-Fire Akainu]The altar floor cracked; Akainu's whole-body magma skyrocketed, transforming into a hundred-metre fire dragon, mouth emitting synthetic sound: "Refuse purification—execute war formatting!"Battle erupted.
Akainu's tail swept the altar into a smooth plane; Leon kept spawning "bedrock platforms" and "redstone lightning rods" for aerial guerrilla strikes.Nami drove "Clima-Tact·Fire Dragon", summoning a hundred-metre flame whip that intertwined with Akainu's fire dragon, forcibly contesting flame control.Final strike—
Leon raised the "Uranus Core" high; the core released a black absorption pulse, forcibly sucking Akainu's "magma chains" into the core, the chains disintegrating instantly.Akainu let out a final electronic screech, body disintegrating into sky-wide crimson magma, a reversed volcanic eruption.
The war-core heart stopped beating and transformed into the tenth "Uranus fragment".System prompts refreshed:[Backup Port 10 purification complete]
[Pixel rule writing progress:5.0 %]
[Next node:Final Sea·Laugh Tale]The crimson-suited teen witnessed everything, eyes complex: "You... defeated the god of war?"
Leon smiled: "No, we only defeated 'hatred'."He turned away, his back reflected in the magma like moving code.
Nami caught up and whispered: "You just said 'hatred'—what do you mean?"Leon gazed at the execution stand reddened by sunset: "It means this world will no longer be controlled by 'hatred', but by 'peace'."Count-down 112 hours—continues.
