Pirates: Awakening of the Divine Religion, I just want to teach and preach Chapter 032

It is said that when the ability of this Devil Fruit is developed to its extreme, it can unleash an impact force no less than a volcanic eruption.

No matter how strong the enemy’s defense, the roaring magma fist can pierce through and incinerate them completely.

Although Lieutenant Colonel Wien’s strength was incredibly formidable, did he really possess the means to contend against the Magma-Magma Fruit?

Gion bit her slightly pale lips, not even realizing that she was worrying about a man.

This was truly troublesome. She hadn’t expected Sakazuki to acquire the Magma-Magma Fruit so early.

Looking at Sakazuki, whose entire body was now enveloped in magma, Wien’s eyelids twitched involuntarily.

A heavy sense of oppression washed over him, and the rising air temperature caused sweat to bead on his forehead.

Wien looked at Zephyr with a hint of helplessness.

The latter, however, pretended not to see his gaze and turned his face away.

…

Alright, this old man is truly cunning.

Then there’s nothing for it…

Wien exhaled a long breath, a smile reappearing on his face.

“My apologies, it seems I underestimated you, Sakazuki.”

He looked at the wound on Sakazuki’s chest, which was reforming from magma and constantly closing, and said indifferently, “Let’s continue then.”

As his words fell, Sakazuki suddenly shot forward from his spot.

His feet spewed scorching magma, using it as propulsion, and his speed instantly soared to its peak. He charged towards Wien like a dark red cannonball.

Wien’s eyebrows immediately shot up, and his expression became serious.

It was clear that Sakazuki had already gained an initial understanding of the Magma-Magma Fruit.

He was gradually able to use the magma’s own impact force to assist in combat.

Just how far has he developed it, I wonder…

A thought flashed through Wien’s mind, and he acted without hesitation.

He raised his right hand, and his distinctly jointed index finger continuously shot out spiral-shaped air blasts from a distance.

Flying Finger Pistol!

Bang bang bang bang—

As if hit by a rapid-firing machine gun, large patches of crimson magma exploded on Sakazuki’s face, chest, and abdomen, with densely packed bullet holes spread across them.

“What kind of move is that?”

“A Finger Pistol launched from a distance?”

“It’s a pity it didn’t work.”

Doberman and the other marine recruits’ eyes widened, and they instinctively held their breath, fearing to miss any subsequent moment.

“It’s useless!”

Sakazuki let out a sharp roar, his body reassembling itself, and in the blink of an eye, he had charged right in front of Wien.

Thick black smoke billowed from his right arm, and with a fierce bite of his teeth, a powerful punch slammed towards Wien’s face.

Whoosh—

Magma suddenly shot out, like a small pillar of fire gushing forth.

Wien’s eyes narrowed, and his figure tilted sideways without any warning.

The gushing pillar of magma brushed past his body and slammed into the ground!

With a boom, it exploded, creating a three-meter-diameter charred giant pit.

Flames flickered, and sparks danced.

Such a perilous scene made everyone present gasp in cold air.

They stared in disbelief at the burning black pit on the ground.

They couldn’t even imagine what kind of scene it would be if that blow had landed on Instructor Wien’s head.

His entire head would probably be instantly pierced through.

Feeling the extreme heat and scorching sensation so close, Wien’s eyebrows also furrowed involuntarily.

As expected of the Magma-Magma Fruit, with its almost defense-ignoring temperature and penetrating power, he simply dared not block it head-on with Iron Body.

However… it’s not as terrifying as I imagined~

Wien suddenly grinned, and as his black hair ruffled, he turned and kicked out.

“Seeking death!”

Seeing Wien’s movement, Sakazuki’s actions were no slower. He raised his left arm and adopted a blocking posture.

His left arm quickly emitted an eerie red glow, and incredibly hot magma began to flow out.

It was vividly alluring.

A ferocious grin appeared at the corner of his mouth.

If this guy dared to kick directly, putting aside everything else, the sheer temperature of the magma itself would be enough to burn and scorch his flesh.

Although this guy’s strength was indeed formidable, whether in terms of power, physique, speed, or combat skills, he far surpassed himself.

But in close-quarters combat, Sakazuki had never feared.

This was the confidence the Magma-Magma Fruit bestowed upon him!

And in fact, before he came to Marine Headquarters for training, when he was stationed in the North Blue.

It was by relying on the dominance of the Magma-Magma Fruit that he had crushed and annihilated countless self-proclaimed pirates.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and Sakazuki’s ferocious grin deepened.

He seemed to already see Wien kicking his magma arm, suffering in agony as he was scorched.

However, the very next second, Sakazuki’s smile suddenly froze.

Under everyone’s stunned gaze, facing Sakazuki’s incredibly hot magma arm, Wien seemed to not even see it, and boldly kicked down.

Everyone couldn’t help but close their eyes, fearing to witness the tragic scene that was about to unfold.

Bang—

There was no sound of scorching, no agonizing screams, only a muffled collision.

Sakazuki’s pupils contracted.

Everyone opened their eyes again, their eyes wide, their expressions horrified.

Wien’s right foot had heavily impacted Sakazuki’s arm, which had transformed into magma.

The terrifying, inhuman strength almost crushed him, causing Sakazuki’s feet to sink into the ground.

With a crash, Sakazuki let out a low grunt, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, his face filled with disbelief.

Dust flew, and gravel bounced on the ground.

His eyes were filled with savage bloodshot veins as he stared fixedly at Wien’s military boot.

Not just him, but everyone present finally saw that the young Marine instructor’s right foot had, at some point, turned completely black.

As if coated with some metallic paint, it had transformed into an invisible armor, completely isolating the high-temperature magma.

This is…

“Haki, a rumored ability that only high-ranking officers can master!”

“Instructor Wien is only a Headquarters Lieutenant Commander, yet he possesses such an advanced ability!”

A chorus of disbelieving gasps erupted from the marine recruits, their eyes shining as they stared at the scene before them.

Zephyr, with his arms crossed, smiled with satisfaction.

Gion secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her bright, beautiful eyes sparkling with brilliance, and her fair fingers clenched into fists.

“How is this possible…”

Sakazuki’s face also flashed with a hint of shock at this moment.

But before he could react, he only felt a blur before his eyes, and the Marine Lieutenant Commander had suddenly vanished from his sight.

“Relying too much on the power of a Devil Fruit is not a good habit, Sakazuki-kun.”

A clear voice suddenly sounded from behind.
