One thing was certain: Kronos had just ruined the Marines' plans by doing this!
Obviously, if they had pushed just a little harder, they could have completely wiped out the Whitebeard Pirates.
But instead—this happened.
"Uchiha Madara! I'll kill you!"
Akainu's eyes burned with fury.
"If I can't kill Whitebeard, then you'll take his place and die by my hands!"
The enraged Marine Admiral could no longer restrain himself.
There was only one thought in Akainu's mind now—kill Uchiha Madara completely.
"Perfect timing, Akainu!" Madara smirked coldly.
"Do you know… I've been waiting for this battle for a long time."
With that, Uchiha Madara's figure streaked across the sky like a blazing meteor, rushing straight toward Akainu.
Before the stunned eyes of the Marines, a battle between two of the world's top powers erupted in full force.
Whether it was the unfathomable Uchiha Madara, or Akainu, the admiral the Marines pinned their hopes on—both stood at the very pinnacle of this world.
Their strength was unquestionable, their names engraved on the very peak of the pyramid.
Each possessed power beyond imagination.
The Marines could only hold their breath, uncertain of who would have the last laugh.
Would it be their own admiral, Akainu?
Or this madman from the Kamui Pirates?
No one could say for sure. But one thing was undeniable—this clash, fueled by endless grudges, was bound to be unforgettable.
The five Vice Admirals stared unblinkingly, unwilling to miss even the smallest detail.
Witnessing a fight of this magnitude was a rare opportunity—one that could sharpen their own combat instincts and experience.
After all, battles on this level weren't something most people could see in their entire lives. Some pirates or Marines went their whole careers without ever witnessing a true clash between two emperor-level titans.
"Fire Style! Great Fireball Technique!"
Uchiha Madara pressed his hand to his lips, gathering a torrent of chakra before unleashing a massive fireball that roared through the air, hurtling toward the Marine fleet.
Akainu's face darkened with rage.
Fire? In front of me?
As the wielder of magma—the strongest flame in existence—Akainu felt utterly insulted.
To him, no fire in this world could compare to the scorching heat of his lava.
Unstoppable. Invincible. Supreme.
He roared, unleashing his molten power to collide head-on with the fireball.
But what happened next was like a stinging slap across his face.
The sky filled with magma—only for it to be instantly overwhelmed and smashed apart by Madara's fireball!
A Marine warship, unable to dodge in time, was struck directly by the enormous blaze.
The vessel was engulfed in flames as countless screams rang out from the inferno.
None of the Marines aboard had ever imagined that one day, they would die in such a way—consumed by fire that outmatched even Akainu's lava.
The battlefield fell into stunned silence.
The Marines' eyes widened in shock, their breath caught in their throats.
Sucking in cold air, murmurs rippled through the ranks.
Who could have believed it?
Akainu—the man who wielded what many called the strongest flames in the world—had just been overpowered at his own game.
By fire.
And worse… by a pirate.
