The third day of the Great Naval Battle of Skegli…

After continuous life-and-death battles without sleep, everyone wore exhaustion on their faces, and the conflict had reached a stalemate.

The magma eruptions in the distance had long since stopped, and the unending extraction could no longer keep up.

The upper body of the eight-hundred-meter-tall magma giant was shattered, standing frozen in place, while molten lava slowly oozed from the broken half and solidified.

The blizzard in the sky had also ceased.

The half-frozen sea began to thaw after the freezing force faded away.

Mike Frank, who had far less stamina than the other five, had already stopped using his ability on the second day of the war.

Three figures floated in the air.

Golden Lion was covered in multiple wounds, looking disheveled. Mike Frank had several pitch-black burns on his body, and Whitebeard’s aura had weakened significantly, his combat power plummeting.

The three on the ground were in better condition.

Kong and Garp, both top-tier physic power users, still radiated powerful auras and bore few injuries.

However, they had little recourse against the three airborne foes with air superiority.

Off to the side, Sakazuki sat cross-legged on the ground.

Behind him, the magma giant’s hand held a Sea King, which he no longer bothered with.

He sliced off a large chunk of meat, devouring it ravenously.

As he ate, he pondered how to break the stalemate, and after a while, he’d already bulked up noticeably.

“Seimei Kikan.”

Sakazuki’s body visibly began to return to its original state.

His stamina and injuries recovered slightly.

As he looked at the three figures in the sky also snacking on fish—

Sakazuki grabbed two large chunks of meat and walked over to Kong and Garp:

“Kong-sama, Garp-san.”

He handed the meat to them and explained his idea.

Kong-sama’s eyes lit up.

“There’s no time to waste, Sakazuki.”

Beside him, Garp stuffed his face while grunting in agreement.

Sakazuki nodded and took a few steps forward, his feet merging with the ground.

He looked up at the three in the sky:

“Meteor Volcano.”

His arms transformed into smoking magma and thrust upward.

Countless magma projectiles launched from his hands, shooting deep into the clouds above.

The three in the sky didn’t seem to care as Sakazuki’s magma bombs soared into the clouds.

Not until Sakazuki himself turned into a pool of magma and blasted into the sky did a hint of concern flicker in their eyes.

Golden Lion casually bit into his fish.

“Damn magma brat. What’s he plotting now?”

He tossed the fish aside and looked up at the sky.

Whitebeard also gazed upward, his expression solemn.

Beside them, Mike Frank no longer wore his previous crazed expression.

He obediently activated his ability, summoning a storm of snow and wind around him, on guard against the two below.

He had learned his lesson.

After nearly getting his head blown off by Sakazuki’s endlessly extending “Dark Hound” from the ground, he realized—

In this high-level clash, all he could do was play support.

…

At some point, the sky turned crimson.

Countless red dots began breaking through the clouds in dense clusters.

Like a sky full of stars—too many to count.

Each red dot was a massive magma fist.

Golden Lion and Whitebeard narrowed their brows as they watched the descending magma fists.

As the lava fists fell, both prepared their defenses.

But when the magma fists were still several hundred meters away—

They all exploded mid-air, shooting outwards.

Countless tiny fiery trails formed a giant net, instantly infused with Armament Haki.

From afar, it looked like an overturned bowl descending toward the three of them.

Golden Lion and Whitebeard immediately understood Sakazuki’s intent and snorted coldly.

Whitebeard gathered his power in his left hand and swung a fist skyward.

Crack!

The atmosphere shattered as a powerful shockwave blasted toward the “bowl’s base.”

Boom!

The bowl-like formation cracked under the blow, but more magma fists swiftly repaired the breach.

Just as Whitebeard was about to throw another punch, a powerful sense of danger surged in his heart.

Goosebumps rose on his back.

Frank’s voice rang out in his ear:

“Watch out!!!”

Down below, Kong and Garp were standing where Sakazuki’s feet had merged with the ground.

Two pillars of magma erupted and extended infinitely upward.

Carrying the two of them straight into the clouds. By the time Frank cried out, they had already reached their target’s back.

Whitebeard twisted his body, channeling his power into his left hand and swung backward—

Crack!

The shattered air collided with Garp’s black iron fist, causing a momentary deadlock.

It looked like Garp was gaining the upper hand.

Whitebeard’s naginata spun in his right hand, slashing outward as his grip slid to the end of the handle.

Haki and ability surged together.

He swung in a wide arc, bringing the blade crashing toward Garp.

Clang!

Crack!

Blade met fist. The next instant, his ability exploded.

Garp let out a muffled grunt, his arm muscles bulging and veins throbbing as he pressed down on Whitebeard.

Beside them, Kong-sama’s arms surged with Haki as he pushed Golden Lion and Frank back at close range.

…

High in the sky—

Sakazuki reformed his body. Magma Mode activated.

He gripped a magma spear infused with Conqueror’s Haki.

His lower body exploded into magma, propelling him toward Whitebeard with a surging shockwave.

Golden Lion released several sword beams to intercept him—

But Kong charged in, suppressing him and dragging him away.

The sword beams struck Sakazuki with a few crisp cracks, only to shatter against him.

Garp, muscles surging with veins, gripped Whitebeard tightly to prevent him from dodging.

A dark glint flashed in Whitebeard’s eyes. Haki surged behind him as his power flowed.

Clang!

A massive force struck, slamming Whitebeard and Garp downward.

Shhh—!

A searing hiss echoed like hot iron branding flesh.

Sakazuki’s magma spear pierced through Whitebeard’s Haki-covered back.

The spear glowed red as endless magma surged into its tip.

Magma exploded from Sakazuki’s back, driving him deeper into Whitebeard’s body.

Crack!

Whitebeard activated his ability at his back.

Sakazuki’s magma spear shattered in his hand.

But the compressed magma tip remained embedded in Whitebeard’s body.

Magma surged as Sakazuki reformed his weapon, preparing to strike again.

Suddenly, Sakazuki sharply turned his head—his golden-glowing eyes locked onto a streak of light shooting toward him.

A massive laser beam, several meters thick, tore through the sky and engulfed Sakazuki’s figure.

From the bow of the ship, a tall, striking woman lowered her longsword, her bold voice resounding.

Two Homies drifted from her sword, circling around her.

The Big Mom Pirates had entered the battle!
