# Chapter 97: Another Logia User?
"Great Eruption----"
As the first Pirate Ship, the Iron Wall Pirates' Battleship, was the first to approach a Warship amidst the Gale and Storm, a massive Magma Fist, over ten meters high and several meters thick, appeared in the sight of both friend and foe, emitting rolling Black Smoke. It slammed down like a small building made of Magma.
"You trash, you scum, I'll send you all to hell!"
Sakazuki, imposing in his red Suit and Coat of Justice, stood atop a triple-barreled anti-aircraft Gun Turret, looking down at 'Mad Ape' Captain Conrad below. Conrad had transformed into a human-Gorilla and was gritting his teeth, resisting the Magma with all his might, relying on brute Strength and Haki. Sakazuki made a cold declaration.
"How can he be this Strong?!"
After holding on for a few seconds, the latter realized his Armament Haki couldn't withstand the Strength and high temperature of the Magma at all. As he was pushed backward, the Fur, coated in a dark sheen, began to show signs of scorching.
[Boom!]
"Ahhhhhh----"
The massive Magma Fist, like a small building, completely exploded, instantly engulfing Captain Conrad. The Pirate Ship behind him and the Pirates on the Deck, their faces filled with terror, were also submerged in the scorching Magma.
Behind, Shiryu, who had just drawn his Blade and was about to board the Ship to go on a rampage, quickly stopped his steps upon seeing this scene. The look of Excitement on his face froze, and he could only darken his expression helplessly, complaining indignantly in his Heart.
"It's like this again. How can killing be so crude? There's no aesthetic at all!"
"Akainu!!!"
Suddenly, on the Iron Wall Pirates' Ship, which was burning fiercely, a roar filled with extreme anger and hatred rang out.
The next moment, a black-furred Gorilla nearly three meters tall, covered in viscous Magma, burst out from the Gunfire Flash with a face full of madness and ferocity.
"Die for me----"
"A Bounty of over 100 million Berry, it's no wonder. The Life Force of Animal System users is indeed quite good." Sakazuki watched coldly as the opponent sought their own death. His right arm, still in Element Transformation, emitted rolling, terrifying Black Smoke and fiery high temperatures in the Wind and Rain.
At this moment, over forty Battleships from both sides were constantly firing Cannonballs at each other's Decks. The difference was that the Cannons of the Pirate Ships could only create shallow Dents on the surface of the Warships, while the latter's Cannons could easily pierce the Ships, causing the Cannonballs to explode inside the opponent, inflicting heavy damage!
The Climate of the 'New World' Sea Area truly changed in an instant. The Storm had fully formed, and wave after wave of large Sea Waves crashed down, regardless of friend or foe.
However, the Pirates and Marines, who had long since gone berserk, had no interest in caring about these things. Especially the Pirate Captains with high Bounties and their Cadres, who used various methods to board the Warships' Decks.
"Kill!!!"
[Bang bang bang bang...] Captain Samuel of the Fire Ant Pirates, with a Bounty of 69 million Berry and the nickname 'Ant King', had already entered his Beast-Human Form. Covered in black Ant Carapace, he held two large Caliber Pistols made entirely of metal. Completely ignoring the huge Recoil produced by each Bullet, he fired frantically, clearing out a large Zone on the Deck in an instant.
He was like a Black Ant King constantly spewing Gunfire Flash. When a Navy Lieutenant charged forward to try and stop him, the former used Armament Haki Hardening on the heavy Gun Barrels, then swung them violently at the opponent's chest, sending them flying back as they spat blood, before continuing to pull the trigger, harvesting the lives of Marine Soldiers one by one.
"How awful~"
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light pierced Captain Samuel's eyes. Just as he instinctively closed his eyes, his Body relying on instinct and Observation Haki, trying to block the twin Guns in front of him for Defense in the nick of time, a brown Leather Boots, propelled by that flashing long leg, was already pressed against his cheek.
At the same time, a voice that sounded incredibly lazy, with a strangely drawn-out and slowed tone, entered his ears at that instant.
"Have you ever been hit by a Light Speed Kick~~"
[Whoosh!] The next moment, Captain Samuel, the Animal System Bug-Bug Fruit Black Ant Form user, was sent flying backward as a golden Laser. He first crashed through the Warship's railing, then pierced through his own Ship's hull and another Pirate Ship, flying hundreds of meters over the Sea Surface before finally plunging headfirst into the surging Sea Waves.
That wasn't all. After Borsalino delivered that kick, he directly transformed into streaks of Light Spots, instantly flashing past the Warship Mast and appearing in the air a hundred meters above.
Then, he transformed into a dazzling, diamond-shaped Light Mass.
Because of the thick Dark Clouds produced by the Storm, the entire Battlefield was already quite dim, but his appearance instantly made him the most dazzling presence there. Almost everyone subconsciously squinted and looked up.
"Ya~sa~ka~ni~ no Ma~ga~ta~ma----"
Kizaru and Akainu's Devil Fruits have already undergone Awakening, and they have trained and developed them for over a decade. Compared to Admiral Level Combat Power, they only lag behind in their Haki level, so the Power of their Devil Fruit Ability Moves/Techniques is not diminished at all.
[Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...] Thousands upon thousands of dense Beam projectiles, trailing long golden light trails, covered the entire Zone behind the Fleet in an overwhelming barrage. Ten or so Pirate Ships of various sizes were all within the attack range.
[Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!] The moment the Beams hit the Sea, huge Balls of Fire instantly rose, evaporating large amounts of Seawater. As for the Beams that landed on the Ships, one hit was enough to cripple a ship's hull, and two hits directly turned them into wreckage sinking into the Seabed amidst the flames.
All the Pirates, and even the Marines who were seeing Borsalino unleash his Power for the first time, were more or less shocked. As for the millions of Citizens from various nations watching the Live Broadcast Screens, their mouths were wide open, and they were frozen in place.
Especially the Citizens located in the Four Seas, they simply couldn't imagine that such terrifying Combat Power could exist in this World. This was practically a Natural Disaster!
Who would have thought that Vice Admiral Kizaru, who always had "How scary," and "How troublesome," on his lips, would be the first one to unleash a major attack? And this Destruction Power could simply be called a human Buster Call.
"That kid, he must be thinking of finishing things quickly and getting off work early, huh----" Sengoku said, shaking his head with a wry smile, finally letting out a sigh.
"But with Sakazuki and Borsalino here, I and that old bastard Garp don't need to make a move. It saves me a lot of trouble."
Yes, on the Marines' side, although the momentum seemed astonishing, with five Vice Admirals and hundreds of Headquarters Officers dispatched, Sengoku, as an Admiral, and Marine Hero Garp were still holding the line.
Because they were waiting for someone.
[Rumble, rumble, rumble] Just as the 'small Sun' formed by 'Yasakani no Magatama' began to retract its Radiance, thick, long purple Lightning Snakes that felt ominous began to emerge from the Dark Clouds.
"Hmm?" Garp raised his head and squinted, observing the Situation above. The next moment, the sky, which had completely turned into thunderclouds, suddenly erupted.
Purple Lightning bolts as thick as an adult's arm rained down, covering everything. These Lightning bolts seemed to have a Consciousness of their own, surprisingly only targeting the Marines' Warships and the Officers on the Battlefield who had a strong presence like torches!
In the distance, Shiryu of the Rain, who had casually cut down two Pirates, looked at the purple lightning striking towards him and said in surprise, "Could it be another Logia User?"
