Kronos had always trusted his crew.
No matter the situation, that trust would never change!
"And besides—"
"Uchiha Madara's Fire Style should be considered the strongest in the entire ninja world, right?"
Pain, who came from the same world as Madara, nodded slightly and said in a calm voice:
"Yes. When it comes to fire ninjutsu, Uchiha Madara stands unmatched."
"Many battles in history were overturned because of Madara's Fire Style. To this day, countless powerful warriors have fallen to his Great Fireball Technique!"
Konan agreed as well, letting out a quiet sigh.
"Even if I used every last one of my explosive tags, it still might not compare to the destructive force of his Great Fireball."
After hearing Pain and Konan speak, the crew began to believe in Kronos' words.
But—
Banggu still couldn't shake the feeling that the battle wouldn't end as quickly as Kronos claimed.
Kronos, as if reading his mind, chuckled.
"Don't worry. You'll understand why I said that soon enough."
Madara's expression was calm, like still water.
Behind his slender figure rose a terrifying phantom—one capable of crushing everything in its path.
That massive purple specter loomed in the air like an unscalable mountain. Its aura was no different from that of an ancient beast.
It didn't move.
It didn't attack.
And yet, its very presence made Marine soldiers tremble in fear!
This was no illusion.
It was real.
Its name was—
Susanoo!
Only a wielder who had pushed the Sharingan to its absolute peak could summon such destructive might.
In his own world, Susanoo was considered a power that touched the heavens themselves. And Uchiha Madara—he was the undisputed master of this technique. Very few in history could even be compared to him.
Against the infamous Akainu, any other opponent might have collapsed in fear already. After all, Akainu was Marine's ultimate weapon, the embodiment of the world government's might. Who wouldn't tremble?
But Uchiha Madara was different. His slim frame shook—
Not out of fear.
But out of excitement.
For Madara, an enemy this powerful was a rare gift!
"Dark Hound!"
Akainu roared like a furious beast, rage twisting his features.
Lava surged violently, boiling the very air.
In the sky above, the molten torrent took shape—
A colossal wolf's head, snarling with savage power, its jaws snapping open as it lunged toward Madara!
Where the beast passed, the sea itself evaporated, unable to withstand the heat of Akainu's magma.
Against an opponent like Uchiha Madara, Akainu dared not hold back. He knew too well—this man was his equal.
If he underestimated Madara, the one who would die here… would be him!
Madara's eyes narrowed with disdain.
"Playing with fire… in front of me?"
His tone was cold, mocking.
"Boy, you're far from home."
"Don't bother showing me parlor tricks like these."
His hands clasped loosely behind his back, Uchiha Madara faced Akainu with complete contempt.
