One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 291 It's getting warm, old dog?

Akainu considers himself a pure soldier, and his style has always been to take action rather than waste words.

therefore.

The moment he uttered the word "beast," he had already plunged straight down the high slope.

Like a tiger devouring its prey, it charged towards Zoro and Sanji!

"Spitfire!"

With a roar, the scalding magma spewed from his arms condensed into a giant fist and hurtled towards him!

however.

Sanji and Zoro remained calm and stood side by side, even looking at Akainu with a hint of mockery on their faces.

How dare you!

Akainu's murderous intent grew increasingly sinister.

Do these two ignorant and low-level pirates even realize the enormity of the trouble they've gotten themselves into?

Just as the giant lava fist was about to strike, a black figure gracefully descended from the sky, blocking the two of them, his slender fingers casually resting on the hilt of his sword.

"We meet again, Sakazuki."

In a calm voice, Xia Nuo raised her eyes and chuckled lightly: "You should have come to me directly, shouldn't you? What kind of skill is it to bully a child?"

Clang!
A flash of light appeared, and a magnificent black and red sword aura slashed out, instantly splitting the giant lava fist in two!
The magma that had been cleaved apart exploded in mid-air, turning into a rain of fire that fell in all directions, igniting the surrounding trees.

Akainu, on the other hand, was struck in the chest by the aftershock of the sword energy and staggered back more than ten steps before he could dissipate the force.

"Xia! Nuo!"

Akainu stared intently ahead, gritting his teeth as he forced out the name, "Do you know what you're doing?! Do you know the consequences of your actions?!"

Hate!

Only gnashing hatred!
The handsome young man in front of me, who is not even twenty years old, has only been at sea for a little over a year.

In his eyes, he had already surpassed Whitebeard, and even the Pirate King Roger! He had become the existence he most wanted to erase from this sea!

"Go help the others clear the area. Leave this old dog to me."

Xia Nuo glanced at Akainu, but did not immediately respond. Sheathing his sword, he casually gave instructions to the two people behind him.

"Yes, Brother Xia Nuo!"

Zoro and Sanji spoke in unison and immediately turned away. They exchanged a knowing glance, both seeing the smugness in each other's eyes.

That's a naval admiral.

A terrifying existence standing at the top of this world!
They were able to spout such nonsense in front of such a person, and then swagger away unhurriedly.

It feels so good to be a fox borrowing the tiger's power!

Although my legs are still a little weak...

.........

Stab it!

On the scorching hot molten lava surface.

"Now I can answer your question."

Xia Nuo's face remained calm as he slowly walked forward.

With each step, the magma beneath their feet solidified and cooled under the influence of the overflowing, domineering aura, turning into scorched black earth.

"as a result of?"

Upon reaching the top of the slope, he stopped and spoke softly:
"Isn't the consequence right in front of you? It's that the world lost more than three hundred parasites in one go. I was just doing what your navy was supposed to do."

"absurd!"

Akainu roared, "The Navy upholds order and justice on the seas! Don't think you're in the wrong place just because you shout a few slogans!"

"Pirates are pirates after all; they have no foresight and no sense of the big picture!"

"Do you think killing these world nobles will make the world a better place? No! It will only make the situation more chaotic! Make the seas more turbulent! And make more people suffer because of you!"

"Order? Foresight?"

Xia Nuo repeated it, then couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, "Pfft, hahahahahaha!!!"

"why are you laughing!"

Akainu's gaze darkened. "Is there something wrong with what I said?"

“Sakazuki, we’ve been enemies for a long time, but to be honest, you’ve always had a lot of admirable qualities about you.”

Xia Nuo sighed and looked at Akainu with pity:

"For example, you at least genuinely hate pirates, are truly brave and determined, and have the spirit of a soldier."

He shook his head and gave a cold laugh:
"Looking back now, I clearly overestimated you, far too much! Sakazuki! Tell me, what exactly is this justice and order you keep talking about upholding!"

“Look at this land!”

"Your so-called justice is to allow the world's nobles to run rampant and indiscriminately kill civilians?"

"Your so-called order is just protecting them and standing guard?!"

Boom!
Xia Nuo suddenly took a step forward, looking down at Akainu from above. His Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted, causing the surrounding lava to churn and even the air to hum!

"Sakazuki! Ask yourself honestly, are you truly loyal to justice, or to the power of those scumbags in the Holy Land?!"

Akainu's forehead veins bulged, and his fists seemed to boil with magma, yet he was momentarily speechless.

Xia Nuo didn't wait for his response and continued coldly:
"You say that my killing of Celestial Dragons will make the seas even more chaotic? Hmph, don't you laugh out loud when you say such a thing?"

"What is the true source of this chaotic era, the turmoil of the seas, the suffering of the people, the driving of countless people to become pirates, and the reason why Roger could command such overwhelming numbers with a mere call to arms? Don't you truly understand, Sakazuki?!"

Akainu's pupils suddenly contracted.

"shut up!"

His tone was icy, but a rare hint of wavering and panic could be detected in his voice. "What do you know, brat! The World Government has existed for eight hundred years; its authority is absolutely unshakeable..."

"I really don't understand."

Xia Nuo interrupted expressionlessly:
"I don't understand why a man who claims to eradicate evil would choose to turn a blind eye to the ugliest sins."

"I don't understand why a soldier who considers himself to be the epitome of justice would willingly become a watchdog groveling before the Celestial Dragons."

He narrowed his eyes, making no attempt to hide his sarcasm:
"I don't understand... How can you stand here and talk to me about your big picture and foresight when you're so hypocritical and ridiculous?"

"I've done what your navy hasn't dared to do for eight hundred years!"

"I killed the person you dared not kill for eight hundred years!"

"And this Marine Headquarters, with such a broad vision and foresight, has, over the past eight hundred years, done nothing but help the Celestial Dragons slaughter one country after another and create more and more pirates..."

"What else did you do!" Akainu's face turned bright red, his breathing became heavier, his temples throbbed, and his fists clenched so tightly that magma uncontrollably seeped out from between his fingers.

"you……!"

"Angry?"

Xia Nuo grinned and continued to press forward:
"But what angers you the most is that every word I said is true, and there's no denying it!"

"Enough! Enough! Enough!!!"

Akainu suddenly looked up, and the wavering in his bloodshot eyes vanished, replaced by ferocity and rage:
"Arrogant brat! Who do you think you are talking to! The principles of justice that I have upheld for many years are not for you to judge!"

The moment Akainu roared, his right arm had completely turned into magma, with scorching hot lava surging and boiling, scorching and distorting the surrounding air.

"Pluto!"

Fast! Ruthless! Precise! These are the characteristics of the Dark Dog's move. In terms of penetrating power and destructive force, it is among the world's best!
The molten lava arm, suddenly unleashed with devastating heat, reached Xia Nuo's chest in the blink of an eye!

however.

Xia Nuo was still grinning, his eyes unwavering: "Completely red-hot, huh, old dog?"

"However, this kind of move might be okay for hitting an old man with one foot in the grave, but what use is it to me?!"

As Akainu made his move, his right arm was already tense. The moment his fist clenched, jet-black Armament Haki covered his entire arm like a tide, faintly glowing with dark red lightning!

"The Milky Way..."

He turned slightly to the side, pulled his right arm back to gather power, and the space around his fist seemed to be about to collapse and be destroyed by his domineering aura!

"—Starburst!"

boom! !

The moment their fists collided with the lava, a violent shockwave that shook the entire kingdom erupted from the two of them!
The ground collapsed instantly, and the ground within a radius of hundreds of kilometers was first withered and turned into a place where lava flowed, and then in the next moment, it was shattered and cracked!
This move is named after a comic book that Xia Nuo read when he was young, but it's just borrowing the name.

Beneath the surface, it is essentially his ultimate improvement upon Garp's Galaxy Impact, a work of martial arts mastery!

Faster! More powerful! Able to concentrate the Conqueror's Haki accumulated within the body onto a single point!
It exhibits terrifying power, truly like the explosion of a planet's core!
"what?!"

Akainu's expression changed drastically. He felt an unprecedented force coming from his fist, which not only neutralized the impact of the Demon Dog, but also instantly reversed the situation and crushed the opponent!

His entire molten lava arm was blasted apart, turning into a rain of fire that scattered everywhere!
"Well!"

Akainu groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was thrown back dozens of meters by the force, his feet carving two charred furrows in the ground.

Xia Nuo remained expressionless, his fist shrouded in black smoke, his domineering aura undiminished.

"Compared to our last encounter, I am now inferior to you in every aspect, and in this realm of pure power and dominance..."

Xia Nuo flicked her hand and said calmly, "I am still above you!"

"Don't get carried away!"

Enraged, Akainu slammed his arms into the ground, and molten lava erupted from the earth like a volcanic eruption!

"Dog bites Guren!"

Three giant lava hounds roared as they emerged from the ground, their ferocious magma hound heads opening their blood-red maws as they viciously pounced!
Roar--!
The lava hound attacked from all sides, making it difficult to defend against. However, Xia Nuo simply chuckled and vanished from the spot in a flash!

A sense of crisis suddenly struck. A red glint flashed in Akainu's eyes. His rich experience accumulated over many years of battles made him turn around without hesitation and throw a punch!

But it was too slow!

Xia Nuo's teleportation speed was even faster than he had imagined. In the instant he had turned half his body around, Xia Nuo's fist, carrying a strong domineering aura, slammed hard into his nose!

Click! !
The punch landed squarely, and Akainu's face instantly caved in, his nose collapsed, and he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the distant mountain wall!

"cough……!"

Akainu struggled to his feet from the rubble, forcefully wiping away the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His anger burned even brighter, but a strong sense of unease inexplicably arose in his heart!

What that brat said is true!

No self-praise!

Whether it's speed, strength, or sheer dominance, the opponent is truly no weaker than me in any aspect, and has even left me a little behind!
To be honest, the difference is very small, barely noticeable. In terms of overall strength, the two are still at the same level.

However, these small gaps, when accumulated, created an effect where one plus one is far greater than two, almost eliminating any possibility of him suppressing his opponent in a short period of time!
But anything is possible with human effort!
I'm risking decades of glory and my own sense of justice. No matter what, I must take this guy down today and restore order to this sea!

With this thought in mind, Akainu suddenly stepped out of the crater, his body suddenly expanding, and scorching magma gushed out from his palms, making him look like an erupting volcano!
"Meteor volcano!"

Rumble——!
The earth trembled, the sky was obscured, and countless magma trails of black flames fell from the sky, turning the entire battlefield between the valleys into a hellish inferno!
"Now, let's see where you can hide!"

Akainu's roar echoed amidst the roar of the erupting magma. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Shano's figure, watching as countless magma fireballs completely engulfed him.

bingo!

however.

The next moment, only Xia Nuo's mocking laughter rang out:
"Dodge? This level of attack doesn't even warrant my dodging!"

Before he could finish speaking, the first magma fireball slammed heavily into his chest!
boom! ! !
Amidst the deafening explosion, scorching lava flew everywhere, instantly turning the surrounding trees to ashes.

But after the smoke and dust cleared, Xia Nuo's figure still stood tall.

His shirt was mostly burned off, revealing his muscular chest, while the lava that was powerful enough to melt gold and iron only left a few shallow burn marks on his skin, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"What?!"

Akainu's pupils contracted sharply, revealing an expression of disbelief.

The second one, the third one, the fourth one...

More and more magma fireballs came one after another, bombarding Xia Nuo like a torrential rain.

The shockwave from the explosion spread outwards in concentric circles, the ground completely melted under the high temperature, and the air itself was distorted by the intense heat.

But that tall, slender figure continued to move steadily forward through the Meteor Volcano.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Xia Nuo's skin began to redden, and his muscle lines became more defined under the high temperature. He didn't care at all. He lowered his head slightly, and his black hair fell down to cover his eyebrows and eyes. Only the cold smile at the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

More than ten fireballs hit in quick succession.

Burn marks finally appeared on his skin, and it cracked.

But strangely, the wound didn't bleed; instead, wisps of white steam rose from it, and it began to heal rapidly under the high temperature.

"Monster...a monster!!!"

In the far reaches of the border, naval officers who witnessed this scene watched with twitching eyelids, some whispering in trembling voices:

"Is this...is this really a body that a human can possess?"

That man...

At this moment, it was like a demon emerging from purgatory, exuding a terrifying aura that made the world bow down!
Its overwhelming power is invincible!
