"Everyone, disperse immediately!"
Seeing this, Akainu shouted out his command, simultaneously moving swiftly away from his subordinates.
He clearly sensed that the three meteors were heading straight for him; as long as he distanced himself from his men, they would not be in too much danger.
"Meteor Volcano!"
After distancing himself from his subordinates, Akainu erupted in anger, spewing a massive amount of magma into the sky to strike at the falling meteors.
In an instant, the volcanic eruption-like disaster collided with the falling meteors, with two of them being largely destroyed by Akainu's magma.
However, he was unable to destroy the third meteor in time, as it had already completely smashed down onto him.
"How is this possible? It's Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki!!"
Just as Akainu was about to elementalize to evade the impact of the meteor, he suddenly noticed at the last moment that the bottom of the meteor was covered with a layer of black Armament Haki and entwined with red lightning from Conqueror's Haki, indicating that someone was controlling this meteor, and that the enemy was incredibly powerful!
This realization extinguished his intention to elementalize; if he did that, it would be like offering his face to be hit! "Hellhound!!"
Akainu's lower body transformed into magma, erupting like a volcano as he shot upwards, his right hand of magma mimicking the force of a volcanic eruption as he punched the meteor.
However, the meteor was falling from tens of thousands of meters in the air, accumulating an unimaginable amount of kinetic energy.
Moreover, this meteor was not just any meteor; it was a comet transformed by Ares.
At the moment of impact, a massive surge of comet energy erupted from behind the comet, further propelling it downwards.
In the instant of collision between the comet and the magma, taking advantage of its innate superiority, the comet forcefully shattered Akainu's Hellhound, crashing down upon his entire body with an unstoppable force.
Even his lower body, which had transformed into magma, was forced to revert to its original state, and his entire form was smashed down from the sky to the ground over a hundred meters below.
"Magma Sea of Fire!!"
Buried underground, Akainu erupted with a massive amount of magma, completely melting the surrounding earth, and after pushing the comet up a little, he immediately elementalized and escaped from its suppression.
"Cough, cough!!"
At this moment, Akainu was bleeding all over, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at the comet that was undergoing transformation.
However, just then, Fujitora charged in from the side, compressing immense gravity into a ten-meter-tall black giant tiger.
"Gravity Blade · Fierce Tiger!"
As Fujitora swung down his sword, the giant tiger opened its massive jaws and bit down on Akainu.
"Hellhound!!!"
Akainu's gaze was fierce; as he turned, he unleashed his most powerful move, his magma fist crashing directly into the black giant tiger.
The powerful force of the volcanic eruption easily blocked the tiger's charge, but just as he intended to completely shatter the black tiger, the transformed comet instantly morphed into a three-meter-tall purple crystalline armored figure.
Without any hesitation, at the moment Fujitora attacked, Ares charged towards Akainu with the speed of a comet.
"Eight Impact Fist · Comet Strike!"
The power of the comet's impact combined perfectly with his own learned techniques and Haki, its might not weaker than the previous strike aided by gravity.
Caught between two attacks, Akainu could only retract his strength and use one magma hand to block Ares's punch.
But at the same time, Fujitora suddenly increased the gravitational force, and Akainu, trapped in the middle, faced the full-force assault from both of them.
Both of his magma arms were shattered in that moment, and relying on his powerful physique, he was solidly struck by Ares and Fujitora.
"Volcanic Eruption!"
Enduring the impulse to spit blood and the intense pain, Akainu relied on his strong physique to erupt once more amidst the two-pronged assault, instantly transforming the ground within hundreds of meters into a volcanic eruption filled with magma.
Akainu intended to use this method to force Ares and Fujitora back, but unexpectedly, his magma splashed onto Ares, completely blocked by his comet armor; even Fujitora used gravity to cover the area, preventing any magma from approaching him.
Seizing this opportunity, Ares punched Akainu on the head, while Fujitora slashed towards Akainu's chest.
Akainu took the full brunt of their combined attack, his entire body sent flying hundreds of meters away.
Immediately after, Ares and Fujitora rushed forward, not giving Akainu a moment to catch his breath.
On the other side of Herbert Island: numerous Navy personnel successfully escaped the crisis of the meteor's fall under Akainu's cover, following his orders to retreat to the warships on the coast.
"What kind of battle is Admiral Akainu engaged in that it's so intense? Even Admiral Akainu seems to be at a disadvantage; there are two opponents!"
"Could it be reinforcements from the Revolutionary Army?"
"Has the Den Den Mushi connected? Hurry and report the situation to headquarters, so they can send help!"
Many Navy personnel on the three warships anxiously watched the battlefield where Akainu was, but there was nothing they could do but wait.
"Hahahahaha, Navy warships, shatter for me!"
While the Navy worried about Akainu, Weevil soared above the warships using Moon Walk, and his laughter immediately drew the attention of the Navy.
"Not good, it's the enemy! Quick, open fire!"
Seeing the enemy descending from the sky, the Navy quickly drew their weapons to shoot, but such bullets were utterly useless against Weevil.
"Pressure Blade · Crush!"
Weevil slashed down onto the warship, and at the same time, a massive wave of white pressure instantly enveloped the entire ship. The warship was crushed from all sides by the overwhelming pressure, splintering apart, and even the bodies of the Navy personnel aboard could not withstand the force, instantly bleeding from their orifices and collapsing to the ground.
"Hahahahaha, such weak Navy! Let's finish them off quickly, then go deal with Admiral Akainu!"
The Navy under Akainu's command, lacking high-ranking officers, could not withstand Weevil's assault, and soon all three warships were dealt with.
As the saying goes, two fists cannot fight four hands; Akainu's strength was formidable, but facing Ares, who was even stronger and unafraid of magma, along with the slightly weaker Fujitora, Akainu could only stubbornly defend himself. Under the relentless attacks, he was completely at a disadvantage, with no room to counterattack!
If it weren't for being a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, turning the surrounding environment into magma and gaining a geographical advantage, Akainu's situation would be even more dire.
"Hahahahaha, Admiral Akainu, your strength doesn't seem that impressive! With such power, being an admiral of the Navy is simply lowering the standard of the admirals!"
Ares laughed heartily, swinging his fist once more towards Akainu's head.
"Being an admiral isn't that great; the fact that the Navy has four admirals just shows that they are all just filling the ranks, not worth mentioning!"
Fujitora also tacitly cooperated with Ares's mockery, while simultaneously, the Black Blade transformed into a dark line slicing towards Akainu from another direction, locking him in place and preventing him from evading Ares's punch.
