Chapter 68 Phoenix vs. Magma (Ch 68)

Outside Marinford Bay.
Marco’s whole body was burning with blue flames, like a burning blue star, and he started a fierce confrontation with Akainu’s magma fist, as if two planets were colliding in the universe.
Akainu stared at Marco in front of him and said with an unhappy look on his face: “What a troublesome mythical beast devil fruit user! Even the damage caused by my magma can be restored to its original state in an instant.” There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, as if a tired hunter faced a cunning prey.
He even began to doubt whether the power of his most powerful single magma had decreased. After all, it seemed that it could not cause any substantial damage to Marco.
“Ha!” Marco sneered, but in his heart he was secretly amazed at the powerful ability of Akainu’s magma fruit. He knew very well that Akainu’s magma fruit ability would cause extremely high damage to the enemy, which was why he did not dare to take it lightly.
Akainu looked past Marco and towards the pirates under the Whitebeard Pirates. They were like surging waves, constantly breaking through the defenses outside the bay and rushing into the bay.
If this situation continues to develop, naval soldiers will face tremendous pressure and may even collapse in an instant.
A scornful smile appeared on Akainu’s lips, and he said in a low voice with a hint of sarcasm: “Marco, let’s see how you can resist my next move.” It was as if he was showing off his powerful strength to Marco.
After Akainu finished speaking, his hands turned into extremely hot magma and raised up to the sky at the junction of the bay and the outside of the bay. His eyes were full of confidence and determination, as if he had foreseen the upcoming victory.
Marco was acutely aware of Akainu’s intentions, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart. He widened his eyes and asked, “Akainu, what do you want to do? Don’t you care about the safety of your own people?”
However, Akainu ignored Marco’s questioning. He sneered, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
“Meteor Volcano!” Akainu roared, his voice resounding through the battlefield like thunder.
As he finished his words, his boiling magma hands continuously spewed out volcanic bombs, which were like burning meteorites, cutting through the sky and flying towards the sky at the boundary between the bay and the outside of the bay with endless power.
This move would not only cause great damage to the enemy, but might also accidentally hurt the navy on his side. However, Akainu knew the cruelty of war and that necessary sacrifices must be made in order to achieve the final victory.
He understood that only by such means could he throw the enemy into chaos and buy himself more time and opportunities.
Akainu’s determination is unwavering. He knows that his choice may cause controversy, but as a general, he cannot give up the fight because of a woman’s kindness.
If the war was lost, the consequences would be far more than the sacrifice of a few naval soldiers, so he did not hesitate to launch this powerful attack, hoping to turn the tide of the war in one fell swoop.
“Damn it, Akainu!” Marco looked up at the lava bombs that kept flying over his head, his face full of anger and helplessness. He wanted to stop these lava bombs, but he felt powerless.
Because even if he could stop some of the magma bombs, he couldn’t stop them all because there were too many of them. So the only thing he could do was to find a way to interrupt the releaser of Akainu’s skill.
Marco spread his blue flaming wings and flapped them hard. His body instantly transformed into a giant blue flaming phoenix and rushed towards Akainu at an astonishing speed.
When Akainu saw Marco rushing towards him, he immediately stopped using Meteor Volcano and prepared to deal with Marco’s attack.
At the same time, the 43 pirate ships under the Whitebeard Pirates were constantly breaking through and advancing into the bay. However, they suddenly found that there were more and more fiery red spots in the sky.
“What is that? A volcanic bomb? This is Akainu’s ability.” The Ice Witch Whitebee tightly grasped the weapon in her hand, looking at the sky with a serious expression, solemnly reminding everyone.
Ranger Doma said quickly: “We must try to avoid these volcanic bombs and rush to the bay as soon as possible to meet up with other teams.”
“Okay!” The Kalban brothers responded in unison, their eyes firm and resolute.
At this critical moment, they must unite and deal with Akainu’s attack together.
In the sky, lava bombs fell continuously like a volcanic eruption, as if they were the fire of anger released by Akainu.
Each magma bomb carries a scorching temperature and deadly threat. They are like burning meteorites, smashing towards Whitebeard’s pirate group.
The trajectories of these lava bombs passing through the air are like burning red lines, interweaving into a heart-pounding picture.
On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard watched the volcanic bombs continuously falling on the battlefield on the left side of the bay. His eyes became sharp. He tightly grasped the supreme sword Kusugawa Kirei, frowned, and said with gritted teeth: “The magma brat is really looking for death!”
Sengoku, who was on the execution platform, was also looking to the left outside the bay, with a puzzled look on his face. He muttered to himself, “Why didn’t Akainu withdraw? Why did he fight instead?”
Sengoku thought secretly in his heart, originally they planned to use Akainu’s magma fruit ability to deal a devastating blow to the Whitebeard Pirates, but now Akainu was fighting fiercely with the enemy outside the bay, with no signs of withdrawing.
“Forget it, now we have no choice but to activate the siege wall as planned and trap the entire Whitebeard Pirates in the bay.” Sengoku made up his mind and decided not to wait for Akainu and directly implement the next plan.
The atmosphere in Marinford Square was tense and intense. As the 43 pirate groups under the Whitebeard Pirates continued to break through the defense line and enter the bay, the pressure on the navy increased instantly. Soldiers from both sides brandished their weapons and launched a thrilling life-and-death contest.
On the battlefield, the smoke filled the air and shouts of killing were heard one after another. The members of the Whitebeard Pirates showed their tenacious fighting spirit and strong strength. They engaged in close combat with the navy soldiers, and each attack was full of power.
At the same time, the navy was not to be outdone, they were well organized and closely coordinated, suppressing the other side with intensive firepower. The gunners on the warships kept firing shells, which drew arcs in the air and landed on the pirate group’s position, causing explosions and chaos.
The battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy is getting more and more intense. Both sides are going all out and neither is willing to back down. This battle is destined to become a part of history. It is not only related to the survival of both sides, but also to the fate of the entire world.
