However, the most severe injuries are on the sides of his waist and abdomen, where the white bones are starkly exposed.
The wounds pierced by the lava are healing slowly, but every movement causes fresh blood to seep out.
In addition, his left arm hangs somewhat unnaturally.
It was obviously fractured while blocking a heavy blow when the force was not equal, and the impact could not be fully deflected, causing a fracture that was difficult to recover from in a short time.
If it were not for the opponent's strong physique and amazing self-healing ability.
In this intense close-quarter battle just now, he would have been defeated by now.
"Cough, cough..."
Shano was gasping violently, and the aura from his body was rapidly weakening.
Boom! He exchanged another punch with Akainu, the former was only shocked and forced to retreat several steps, but he was directly blasted into the ground.
Crack, crack.
Cracks spread like a spider web; Akainu landed on the edge of the pit, looking expressionlessly at the staggering figure that finally climbed out from the dust.
"Only know how to brag, old man?"
Shano's face was pale; he spat out a mouthful of blood foam, his mouth grinning up to his ears, "It's been more than half an hour, half an hour ago you were saying the same thing, and now? Yet you still haven't taken me down!!!"
"..."
Akainu's gaze darkened slightly, but he was unable to refute those words.
Although the opponent had only caused a few injuries to himself with very few hits, while the rest of the time he was entirely suppressed by him.
But as this brat said, it had been half an hour, and he still hadn't managed to completely bring him down.
For him, as a Navy Grand Admiral, this was undoubtedly a kind of humiliation.
"This kind of desperate fighting style despite injuries, able to hold me back for so long, there aren't many who can do it on the sea. To be accurate, below the Four Emperor level of Pirates, only Marco, and now you, barely."
Akainu spoke in a low tone, "You've indeed made me look at you in a different light, brat..."
"But after all, isn't your fighting style ultimately dependent on physical stamina?"
"Now, with your aura so weak and feeble, your stamina must be reaching its limit, so I wasn't wrong; it indeed should be over, including your companions. Do you think that in your current state, you can still continue to hold out until your partners escape..."
At that moment.
Pop!
A pillar of orange-yellow flame suddenly rose from the distant sea, like fireworks, exploding in the high sky.
"Oh?"
Witnessing this scene, Shano's eyes lit up, and he suddenly burst into a laugh, "Seems like they actually did it?"
What?
Akainu's eyes flashed with a cold light, a Moonwalk bringing him to a higher vantage point.
Looking far into the distance, he saw the Endgame Pirates' ship had already left the harbor, sailing swiftly towards the open sea.
His expression completely darkened.
Dalmatia, Bumaya, the two Headquarter Vice Admirals, plus numerous Captains and over two thousand elite Marines...
Such a scale of power, yet they couldn't keep the opponent in the harbor?
What the hell are those worthless fools doing?!
Buzz——!
Akainu's lower body suddenly transformed into elemental form, billowing smoke as magma spewed out from behind, he was about to use this recoil force to fly directly towards the southern harbor.
But just a few meters out, a silhouette suddenly flashed overhead, delivering a fierce kick from top to bottom.
"Get down for me——"
Shano grinned ferociously, landing a war-axe style chop right on Akainu's shoulder!
"Go down!!!"
Boom——!!!
Akainu's pupils contracted, but his body was too late to react, plummeting like a meteor from hundreds of meters high, heavily crashing into the rocky beach below!
The terrifying impact shook the entire coast, causing rocks to scatter, dust to rise into the sky, and the sea waves to surge up dozens of meters high!
"Cough..."
Akainu propped up his body from the pit, coughing several times, his magma-bodied form continuously dripping as he incredulously looked up at the sky.
Such speed, such force, clearly something that could only be unleashed at the opponent's initial peak state, how could it be?
"What are you thinking, old man, your opponent is me!"
The laughter of the black-haired youth rang in his ears, seemingly still munching on something, "It's come to this, no way I'll let it end in vain, allowing you to stop my companions!"
