They joined the Marine together back then, not to throw away their lives meaninglessly in such a place, because of such an absurd order.
"This is... a troublesome order," Kizaru muttered in a low voice, only audible to the two of them, his tone filled with helplessness.
Akainu didn't respond, only letting out a barely audible cold snort from his nose, his gaze dimming slightly for a moment, churning with suppressed anger and a cold assessment of the current situation.
But military orders were absolute, and as an Admiral, he had no room to retreat.
The next moment,
All hesitation and dissatisfaction were forcibly suppressed, Sakazuki's gaze once again became sharp as a blade, and his burning fighting spirit surged anew.
He no longer spared Kizaru another glance, his burly physique erupting with astonishing power, the ground beneath his feet cracking inch by inch, and he charged towards the center of the battlefield like an erupting volcano, engulfed in rolling black smoke and dark red molten light!
Amidst a roar, the battle resumed.
Sakazuki's magma giant fist collided fiercely with Kaido's 'hassaikai', a spiked club wrapped in black and purple lightning, erupting in a deafening roar!
The shockwave spread in a ring, plowing the surrounding ground down another three feet.
"Inferno Hound!"
Akainu roared, his offensive as ferocious and violent as a volcanic eruption, dark red magma surging and roaring, each strike containing terrifying power capable of sinking an island.
He knew the terror of the "World's Strongest Creature" before him, so he held nothing back, launching killing moves from the start, the scorching heat even directly igniting the gunpowder smoke lingering in the air.
Facing this fierce assault capable of instantly vaporizing a fleet, a hint of surprise flashed in Kaido's enormous dragon eyes, immediately replaced by an even wilder fighting spirit.
"Ugorororo...! Interesting, Admiral!"
Kaido laughed wildly, his thick arm muscles bulging, as he forcibly withstood the impact of the magma, his spiked club swinging so fast it was impenetrable, "But to take me down with just this? You're a hundred years too early!"
Pressure? Indeed there was.
This pure destructive power made him feel the tremor of his muscles and the boiling of his blood after a long time.
But instead of retreating, Kaido grew even more excited - because he was the embodiment of immortality!
Countless experiences of near-death and recovery had long erased the word "fear" from his dictionary.
What's more... Kaido's peripheral vision involuntarily glanced at his son, Yamato, who stood at the edge of the battlefield, holding a spiked club and watching with a complex expression.
"Hmph!" Kaido snorted inwardly, "Let this rebellious child see clearly why his father dominates the seas! What true power is!"
This thought acted as a catalyst, causing Kaido's aura to surge again!
He wanted to crush this highest combat power of the Marine with absolute strength in front of his son, to make Yamato fully understand how foolish it was to resist him!
"Heat Breath!!!"
Kaido suddenly took a deep breath, his chest puffed out, and then spewed forth a scorching dragon's breath capable of melting steel, contending equally with Akainu's magma, turning half the sky into a destructive red!
The gazes of father and son intersected for a moment in the sea of flames - Yamato gripped his spiked club tightly, his eyes showing both conviction in his father's strength and an unyielding will...
