Chapter 246 One-Punch Brett
The Magma-Magma Fruit was called the pinnacle of Devil Fruit destructive power.
This wasn't actually too difficult to understand. The Magma Fruit's formidable aspect wasn't just magma's temperature.
But explosive force.
Each magma eruption was like a volcanic explosion. This incredibly astonishing explosive force couldn't be underestimated by anyone.
This power could be used for combat, and naturally also for other purposes.
Like right now—Akainu, erupting magma, forcibly broke free from the winds Brett created using this force and flew toward him.
"Don't think about running! Brett!" Like volcanic ash erupting ten thousand miles into the sky during a super volcano's explosion, Akainu's explosive power brought violent speed.
"Too tenacious!" Even Neptune couldn't help but scream.
Under these circumstances, he could still pursue?
Moreover, not just Akainu.
Above, light suddenly blazed.
Neptune couldn't help looking up, then saw a second sun appear in the sky.
"The power to control winds! How terrifying!" Kizaru crossed his hands before his chest, brilliant light condensing into arcs. "Yasakani no Magatama!"
Light transformed into overwhelming light bullets, covering Fish-Man Island's group like a rainstorm.
Impossible to dodge, impossible to escape.
"Waaaah!" Neptune, who'd never experienced such a scene, began screaming again.
But now wasn't the most appropriate time to scream.
Because ahead, Akainu rapidly approaching with tremendous momentum also raised his fist.
"Dark Hound!" Magma surged within his body. Under tremendous pressure, volcano-eruption-like terrifying power had already condensed in this punch.
"Brett! Think of something quick!" Neptune shouted.
Without doing something, they'd be finished!
"Thunder!" Brett growled lowly.
Then brilliant lightning burst from his body. The next instant, thunder transformed into nine roaring dragons ascending.
The thunder dragons spiraled upward, colliding with light bullets falling from the sky.
"Ooh! Too amazing!" Kizaru couldn't help exclaiming. His attack was completely blocked. Even the thunder dragons torn ragged by light bullets continued upward, swallowing him whole.
Light shot out from exploding thunder, condensing into Kizaru's form in the higher sky. This man's mouth gradually sank. "This really isn't the natural-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"
Was Kaido's thunder this powerful?
Why did it feel like the genuine power wasn't as good as the pirated version?
Was this guy's lightning power too strong?
Such questions arose unbidden in Kizaru's heart.
While releasing thunder, Brett opened his mouth. "Bolo Breath!" Golden flames condensed into a beam radiating dazzling light, instantly swallowing the attacking Akainu within.
"Flames!" Kizaru smiled. "Too bad—Sakazuki's ability is the superior version of flames."
He extended his right hand, lightly pointing a finger. "Laser!" Light shot from his fingertip, transforming into a ray toward Brett.
Then this laser struck lightning splashing up from Brett's body surface. An explosion resulted.
The flames Brett spewed gradually dissipated. Within these dissipating flames, a burning fire-man came head-on.
"Damn it!" Akainu, his entire body covered in flames, roared. His voice carried pain. His magma fist mixed with flames struck out again.
"What?" Kizaru exclaimed. "Sakazuki was ignited!"
What kind of flames were these! Actually burning magma!
Sakazuki was actually injured by flames! How could this happen!
Brett's flames weren't ordinary flames. The bloodline the demon fire-breathing stingray gave Brett granted him the ability to secrete a certain fuel.
This fuel itself was rich in oxygen—flames could burn even in the deep sea. Moreover, this fuel could dramatically increase flame temperature. Even magma might be evaporated!
These were flames even elementalized Akainu couldn't be immune to!
However, flames alone couldn't critically wound Akainu who could defend with Armament Haki. His fist was already at close range.
Then respond with fists!
Thunder surged skyward. Every scale on Brett's body surface radiated intense electrical light. The fiery red color was dyed ghostly blue. Wrapped in thunder, he was like a thunder god descended from the heavens!
Within this azure thunder, on his right arm, lightning was silently dyed pitch black.
Simultaneously, energy long stored within his body was mobilized in an instant, transforming into tremendous power under the King's Fist technique's propulsion.
Brett threw his punch.
His strongest punch at this stage.
A fist covered in dragon scales and wrapped in lightning clashed in mid-air with a fist formed of magma and wrapped in flames.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. The world seemed to lose its color.
Akainu, wrapped and burned by flames, changed expression.
Astonishment, shock, disbelief.
His expression lasted an instant.
The next second, air began shaking. Two terrifying colliding forces made the air directly explode, instantly transforming into tremendous shockwaves spreading in waves.
Faster than the shockwaves was Akainu. His body was struck by astonishing terrifying force, flying backward like lightning, finally crashing into the Red Line behind him.
The Red Line, like the Wall of Sighs, began crumbling. A huge hole was smashed into the red wall. Thick cracks kept spreading. Massive stones began flying in all directions.
"This is—!" Kizaru was dumbstruck.
This level of punch power!
Made even Sakazuki almost unable to fight back!
This guy—
Had he already become this strong?
A direct punch instantly sending Sakazuki flying—even Whitebeard couldn't do this!
Brett looked up at the astonished Kizaru and smiled at him.
Then Brett used Flame Clouds to wrap the fish-men and began flying backward.
"Completely ignored," Kizaru scratched his head helplessly.
What to do?
Pursue?
But that guy was strong to that degree—pursuing would be meaningless, right?
Leave him alone?
If the government found out, they definitely wouldn't let it go, right?
"What a headache!" Sighing thus, Kizaru transformed into light, following Brett from afar while continuously releasing laser attacks.
Of course, his perfunctory lasers were easily intercepted by Brett's thunder each time.
Though the Red Line was very high, it was actually just that high. In a minute or two, Brett had already reached above sea level.
After showing Kizaru one last smile, Brett leapt into the sea with all his compatriots.
"Ah, failed." Kizaru floated in the air, seeming quite emotional. "Now the Five Elders will have a headache."
His eyes were full of astonishment. "After all, being this strong is one thing, but swimming ability—this truly is unprecedented."
Who could defeat such a powerful Brett in the sea?
No one.
