Molten lava erupted from Akainu's body, instantly creating a scene of utter destruction, capable of melting everything around him.
However, Ignis Glow remained completely unfazed.
His right hand firmly gripped the deep purple hilt of Ryūjin Jakka, sensing the blade's almost joyous anticipation.
For a fleeting moment, he considered how long the island beneath his feet could withstand the coming inferno.
But the thought was instantly dismissed; it was a distraction.
Meanwhile, from a distance, Kizaru, who had been observing with a grim expression, felt a sudden, ominous premonition.
His face shifted, and he prepared to warn Akainu.
But before he could act, a torrent of orange-red flames erupted around Ignis Glow.
The Navy fleet and the CP0, completely unaware of what was about to transpire, watched as Ignis Glow, his gaze fixed on the approaching destruction, calmly uttered the activation phrase for Ryūjin Jakka's Shikai:
"All Things in the Universe, Turn to Ashes… Ryūjin Jakka!"
The next instant, before the Navy fleet could even react, a deafening roar erupted.
All the flames converged upon Ryūjin Jakka in Ignis Glow's hand.
In that instant, the entire island visibly radiated intense heat.
Centered on Ignis Glow, the flames formed a forbidden zone.
The ground beneath him began to dry and crack, vegetation withered and turned to ash in an instant, the flames spreading rapidly to engulf the surrounding forest and the entire island.
The heat radiating from Ryūjin Jakka was far greater than Akainu's magma, transforming the island into a fiery inferno, the scorching temperature spreading relentlessly outwards.
The sea around the island trembled violently; the air itself seemed to freeze.
A suffocating pressure descended upon the island.
Blazing orange-red flames, like hellfire, consumed everything around Ignis Glow.
The ground rapidly dried, cracked, and crumbled.
Plants withered, ignited, and turned to ash.
Under the searing heat, the island's sandy surface visibly turned a fiery red, beginning to melt.
The intense heat continued to radiate outwards, causing the surrounding sea to steam.
"What is that?!"
"Th-the sea… is it evaporating?!"
"Hey, hey, hey… what's happening on that island?!"
"Did Admiral Akainu use his full power?!"
On the warships, faced with this sudden, terrifying sight, the Navy personnel were all aghast.
But the scene that followed sent a chill down their spines.
On the island, at the heart of this destruction, stood Ignis Glow, his hand gripping Ryūjin Jakka, its flames engulfing him.
Though he remained motionless, the overwhelming pressure emanating from the island reached its peak in the hearts of everyone who witnessed Ryūjin Jakka's Shikai.
"All Things in the Universe, Turn to Ashes… Ryūjin Jakka…"
Ignis Glow, wielding Ryūjin Jakka,
had unleashed the full power of its Shikai, creating this terrifying spectacle.
Even Ignis Glow was amazed.
After all, this was only the Shikai.
If he unleashed Ryūjin Jakka's Bankai, the entire Grand Line would likely be vaporized—it was only a matter of time.
"Now, the real battle begins."
Feeling the island rapidly melting under Ryūjin Jakka's intense heat, Ignis Glow wasted no time.
His indifferent gaze fell upon Akainu.
Akainu observed the burning landscape around him, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The power of those flames… what kind of Devil Fruit ability was this?
No one understood the changes better than Akainu.
He knew this was not the result of his Magu-Magu no Mi!
Such a powerful fire-based ability existed in this world?!
But, even so, Akainu showed no sign of panic.
As a Navy Admiral, Akainu still firmly believed that his Magu Magu no Mi was the bane of all fire-based abilities.
He had witnessed firsthand the devastating power of Ignis Glow's Ryūjin Jakka, and yet, his confidence remained unshaken.
The sheer scale of the inferno engulfing the island was a testament to the raw, untamed power of Ignis Glow's Zanpakutō.
The heat was so intense that it was warping the very fabric of reality, causing the air to shimmer and distort.
The sea was boiling, the ground was melting, and the vegetation was instantly reduced to ash.
This was not merely fire; it was a force of nature unleashed.
Akainu, despite his unwavering belief in his own abilities, felt a prickle of unease.
This was unlike anything he had ever encountered.
He was facing something truly extraordinary.
The battle was far from over; it had only just begun.
