One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 232 Ten Minutes of General Sakaski
"Huff--Huff--Huff--"

The sound of wind whistling came rhythmically, and Sakaski's left hand hammer began to rotate, and his entire waist rotated like a spring.

His waist seemed to be the hub between the two parts of a machine. The rotation of his upper body did not cause his lower body to move at all. An almost invisible line appeared around the central axis of rotation.

"Pfft, pfft~"

Magma continuously gushes out from Sakaski's waist. Every rotation will cause large amounts of magma to spray out, dripping onto the clouds and penetrating deep into the ground.

The clouds around him were full of potholes, and a tangible barrier like a whirlwind gradually formed around him.

“Boom~ huff--boom~ huff--”

The heavy hammer spun around at a very fast pace, and each time it hit the ground it would rise again with the help of the recoil force, allowing Sakaski to keep it rotating at a high speed without any effort.

But this was a tough situation for the crowd watching, because this heavy hammer was not simply a stone filled with magma, but a thing close to a magma sac. The power contained within it was equivalent to a small active volcano about to erupt!
The force of each strike is borne jointly by the entire gimbal and the ground below!

This also causes the gimbal, which is not particularly large, to shake violently when hit by a sledgehammer, just like an unstable car driving on a mountain. They feel the same way as the passengers inside.

Even Garp, who usually had a good appetite, stopped eating his snacks and turned his gaze to the stage with a slightly pale face.

On the stage, Zefa was moving at high speed and looking for a gap to break through. He must not be careless facing Sakaski's attack.

After all, Sakaski was his student. How could he not know the three moves and two techniques that he knew?
The volcanic hammer, as the name implies, is based on the word "volcano". What is a volcano? It is a dangerous thing that will explode if touched! Even a strong man of his level would not dare to say that he can survive in the center of a large active volcano!

Of course, if one possesses a mythical beast-type devil fruit, this is not necessarily the case, but a purebred human will definitely die miserably!

No matter how powerful the Armament Haki is, it can’t save you!
This is also the main reason why Sakaski is slow but Zefa is reluctant to attack. Once he gets close, Sakaski will definitely take the initiative to detonate his left hand!
The explosion would be so powerful that it wouldn't kill him, but it would definitely cause some skin burns.

But this is not the most dangerous thing! The most dangerous thing is the chain explosion from Sakaski itself! It is equivalent to the underground volcano group. If one erupts, it will cause the others to erupt together!
After two explosions, even Zefa couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't get hurt.

Sakaski was just turning around to find an opportunity to attack Zefa. Defense? I'll just blow you up! How can you fight me in close combat without any gaps in defense?

However, even the most buggy abilities can be countered, and the best way to deal with this is to use remote means.

But, the problem comes again.

In this tiny place, Zefa didn't dare to use the long-range output methods of a physical expert, such as fist wind and external impact of armament color, etc.

If the hit was too small, it might not even break Sakaski's shell. If the hit was too big, it would go straight into the audience.

This is just a test match, it doesn't have to be this serious.

"Really? Then the teacher will grant your wish, Sakaski."

Zefa, who was moving at high speed, suddenly stopped. Calculating the time, it was estimated that it would be over in just one or two minutes.

In the final moments, let Sakaski use this most powerful method to end it.

"Black Arm Explosion!"

Zefa's armament color was fully activated, and his whole body was dyed into a black sculpture. He elbowed back with his dark left hand, and the friction in the air produced brilliant sparks. The powerful force was fully displayed in his wrist.

On the opposite side, Sakaski, who guessed Zefa's intention, also slightly changed his rhythm. The platinum-red hammer seemed to come alive and began to beat naturally and irregularly, as if a dead heart came alive, strong and powerful!
In the sky, Ross, who was watching everything, covered his face. What a mess! It was just at the beginning and it was a good thing that he didn't move two islands here to be the stage as originally planned.

If they continue to fight like this, at least three islands will be destroyed!
Now that Sakaski has opened this gap, the other two guys will definitely go all out.

"rise!"

Ross mobilized the power of the fruit and directly peeled off the circle of spectators sitting around Cloud Island, rising straight into the sky, watching this final blow from high above.

On the stage, Zefa had made sufficient preparations. His armed-colored armor kept rubbing against the air to produce sparks, and his raised arms were black and red, like a piece of iron just out of the furnace, waiting to be quenched by the craftsman.

"Whoosh-"

The sound of breaking air spread, and when the sound of wind reached everyone's ears, they saw Zefa, who was originally a hundred meters away from Sakaski, came to the front in an instant.

Sakaski also suddenly stopped spinning the hammer, and the volcanic hammer that had just landed on the ground turned straight, and the hammer head collided fiercely with Zefa's arm.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang like an explosion, followed by a dazzling light like the sun.

"boom!!!!"

The heavy hammer exploded under this blow, and Zefa's black wrist explosion blew off Sakaski's arm as he wished, but what came next was a more powerful attack.

"The volcano exploded!"

Lava spurted out, and a stream of liquid shot straight into the sky before everyone's eyes. There was no sound of explosion, only the continuous roar of a moment when the volcano erupted.

But this is not the end yet!

"volcanic eruptions!"

The second explosion was more violent than the first.

After suffering a head-on explosion, Zephyr stood in the lava in a panic. The center of the field had turned into a small pool of lava. The dark red monster was missing an arm, but platinum lines climbed on its body until the blood-red lines completely detonated it!
"See you at the hospital, Mr. Zefa..."

Sakaski said goodbye quietly. The power of the fruit reached its peak at this moment. The five-meter-tall monster expanded rapidly in the magma pool. The magma that had experienced a round of eruptions in the surrounding area had not yet calmed down, and a new round of riots began again.

The five-meter-tall monster directly rose to more than fourteen meters, looking down at Zefa with its giant-like height. Its white, gold and red body was as sacred as the sun at this moment.

Below, Zefa was defending with all his might, ready to withstand the explosion that could have been enough to injure him.

However, there was no explosion in my ears. Instead, I heard a familiar voice in an uncoordinated and playful tone:
"Teacher Zephyr, you are lying. I have completely mastered the power of the fruit. Now comes the final battle!"

What greeted him was Sakaski's fist with a diameter of half a meter!

"bump!"

This blow hit him directly in the face, and Zefa, who was defending with all his strength, was knocked back more than 20 meters. His face showed a mixture of surprise and joy.

Looking up, the 14-meter-tall giant in front of him disappeared, leaving only a 6-meter-tall giant floating in the magma. His platinum-red skin, a combination of domineering and fruit, was unusually sacred, and the energy surging in his body made him seem to have returned to the battlefield he once was. "Stage 3 lava volcano!"

“Plop~Plop~Plop~”

A strong heartbeat could be heard from Sakaski's body. A volcano was erupting inside his skin at this moment, giving him incredible power and even making him feel invincible.

This is an illusion that only occurs when strength increases several times or even dozens of times in a short period of time!

But at this moment, Sakaski is indeed standing at the pinnacle of this world, in the realm called the legendary Emperor!
But this moment was short, and the erupting lava would eventually be extinguished, but he had already shown his brilliance in front of the world.

"Alright, let's have a great fight! Fist Bone Meteor!"

"Volcano Punch!"

Zefa's fist shone brightly, and everyone's first impression was his unrivaled power. He strode straight into the air, raised his fist and punched the little giant in the face.

On the other side, Sakaski mobilized the energy in his body and gathered it on his fist, and cut off a section to create a small magma sac.

"Boom!"

A powerful punch was thrown, but the one who flew backwards was not Sakaski, but the dusty Zephyr!
The huge force generated by the wind pressure even affected the spectators in the sky. Even the brigadier general of the headquarters had to bend down slightly, with sweat on his forehead caused by the hot wind.

This is the clash of the strong. Even just a tiny aftermath can make it difficult for the weak to bear.

The cloud surface collapsed. Even though the island cloud was as solid as land, its size was not that large. It was only about the size of a small island in the ocean and could not withstand the battle between the generals.

Sakaski also noticed this and looked around. All the things that needed to be evacuated had been moved to the sky by Ross.

He must enjoy this battle to his heart's content!

"volcanic eruptions!"

The little giant roared to the sky with his arms spread out, and countless lava was created out of thin air. Within two or three minutes, it covered the entire island and even expanded outward.

Sakaski directly turned the battlefield into his territory! Only some cooling substances produced by the contact between seawater and magma could float up for Zefa to adjust himself.

The original five-minute assessment turned directly into a battle between generals!

"Use all your strength, Sakaski. Let me see how much you have hidden that I don't know about!"

Zefa became very excited and tore off his shirt to reveal his solid muscles. Except for his shorts, he had completely transformed into a naked man. His masculine aura could make many women fall for him even through the screen.

The female soldiers in the navy who were watching the scene all looked infatuated with him. Admiral Zefa's figure was so manly and gave them a sense of security!

"As you wish, Mr. Zefa, Hades Dog!"

The giant hand plunged into the lava, and when it reappeared it had transformed into a giant fist with a dog's head.

Sakaski's entire lower body dived into the magma, using the convenience of the fruit to swim forward like a fishman in the sea, swinging his heavy fists at Zephyr.

"That's powerful enough! Black wrist explosion!"

Zefa swung his arm and threw another wrist strike forward, colliding with Sakaski's heavy punch.

"Boom!"

The sound of an explosion was heard, and Zefa flew backwards again. Just like before, Sakaski transformed his fist again, turning the impact surface in front into a magma sac that could explode at any time.

Zephyr's armament color can only protect him from any damage, but it is impossible to defend against the shock wave generated by the explosion.

What's more, his feet were off the ground and there was no place to gain leverage.

On the surface, it seems that Sakaski has the upper hand, but in fact, he has not caused any substantial harm to Zefa at all!

Perhaps only continuous volcanic explosions can break through the opponent's defense and injure Zephyr.

This is the physical master, the indestructible cockroach is their synonym for good! Even in a field full of lava, attacks that cannot break through the defense are ineffective!

Physical strength is the real key to determining the outcome of this battle!
Unfortunately, Sakaski is not a true emperor general, and he can't hold on for long.

Time passed by minute by minute. Ten minutes later, the little giant's light quickly dissipated, and his skin cooled down and turned into a dark red armed color domineering. He was directly knocked out by Zefa's punch and could not get up again.

"Pass the test, Sakaski. You are my best student, now and forever!"

Zephyr was wrapped in Armament Haki and walked in the lava. He came to Sakaski, who was gradually shrinking into a human form and was naked, and stretched out his hand to pull him up.

He didn't use any ruthless force in the last attack, he just sent the opponent flying, the actual damage was almost zero.

Sakaski wrapped his lower body with lava, took Zefa's hand and nodded slightly, then looked up at Ross who was high in the sky.

"I am also proud of you, Sakaski. The road ahead depends on you. What kind of person you will become, what kind of things you will do, and what kind of ideas you will have."

Ross fell from the sky, his lower body wrapped in Armament Haki, and stood on the lava-covered cloud platform with Zephyr. He continued:

“But remember, Cloud Island will always be your home, and you can always stop there and rest with your family.

There will always be someone to listen to your confusion, answer your questions, and help you with your difficulties. This is the last thing the master can do for you. "

Listening to Ross's words, Sakaski burst into tears, and cowardice appeared on his resolute face. Ross was the only person who could make him show this expression.

But soon, he put away this expression, nodded firmly, and said:

"I will not let you down, Mr. Zefa, I will make the navy full of justice, Master Ross, I will protect everyone in the navy!"

Sakaski slowly stood up, his lower body made of lava, and made a promise with a firm face.

He joined the navy, firstly to take revenge on all pirates, and secondly to give back to Rose who raised him!

"Okay! Now go back and rest. Next, Borsalino, you go up! Same conditions, hold out for five minutes under my hand. Remember, you are not allowed to fly higher than ten meters! You are not allowed to leave the range and - you are not allowed to not fight back!"
