Chapter 41: Akainu's Offensive, The Collision of Ninjutsu and Devil Fruit Abilities
It wasn't just Sarutobi who was overthinking things.
Danzo was thinking even further ahead than Sarutobi.
When he saw the words "New World," his mind immediately jumped to the possibility of the other side swallowing their entire world, and conversely, how they might occupy the opponent's world.
The Pirate World!
It made Danzo feel an inexplicable dread.
No! We must find a way to make Konoha stronger, so that we can better resist the annexation of that world!
Sarutobi had already pondered many possibilities, but Danzo's paranoia ran deeper. He had already visualized how miserable the Ninja World would be if it were fully occupied and annexed by the other side.
While both Sarutobi and Danzo were frightening themselves with their own thoughts, the Fourth Raikage, A, who was sitting in the auditorium, sent out his own bullet comment.
[Ninja World] Fourth Raikage A: Edward Newgate, strong man of the opposing world, why did your world attack ours?
Whitebeard raised his head, his gaze piercing through the translucent light curtain to look at the Fourth Raikage sitting across from him.
Their eyes collided in mid-air.
Faint sparks seemed to erupt between them.
Whitebeard: Not bad. It seems you are also a powerful existence in your world!
Raikage: Answer my question. Why did you choose to move against our world?
Whitebeard: Humph! I know nothing of this matter. It was not a choice we made at all!
Seeing Whitebeard's response, the Raikage's expression turned grave.
The battle between the two worlds was not decided by the other side! Could it be that some kind of god had truly chosen their two worlds to fight?
While irrelevant live comments from both sides continued to slide across the light curtain, the battle below had begun.
The three Admirals and the Sannin paid no attention to the barrage. They only had eyes for each other.
The condition for winning this group battle was simple: causing all opponents to completely lose their combat effectiveness would be considered a victory.
Akainu stood at the forefront, his eyes burning like torches. He clenched his fists tightly, unleashing the murderous intent in his eyes toward the Sannin without any attempt to conceal it.
At the same time, a scorching heat wave radiated from his body, sweeping across the arena.
Jiraiya, who was also standing at the front, raised a hand to shield himself from the rolling heat. "Incredible! This guy looks short-tempered!"
Tsunade didn't seem to care much. "No matter how irritable he is, we can't lose this battle anyway!"
Saying that, Tsunade glanced in Orochimaru's direction. "Orochimaru, if you can help us defeat these three, I won't hold anything against you when we return to Konoha!"
Hearing this, Orochimaru smiled faintly. "It doesn't matter! Even if we win, if you want to attack me, I will be ready for you, Tsunade!"
Jiraiya interjected, "This is not the time to quarrel! Tsunade, Orochimaru, be careful—the enemy is about to take the initiative!"
At this moment, Akainu took a step forward, ready to strike first.
"Akainu, their ninjutsu is very weird. It's better for us to keep our distance and attack from afar!"
Hearing Aokiji's words, Akainu completely ignored them.
Akainu disdained long-range attacks that merely consumed the enemy's stamina. There was nothing to fear from this group of seemingly weak individuals.
Ninjutsu?
Chakra?
Could it match the power of the Logia-type Magma-Magma Fruit?
Hmph!
Akainu was dismissive even of the advice given by the screen. His justice was to wipe out all evil directly with his fists.
Simple. Direct!
Boom!!!
Lava erupted instantly. Akainu's legs transformed into scorching magma, providing propulsion that launched him straight toward Jiraiya.
The hot magma surged violently. Aokiji was almost caught in the blast and quickly backed away.
Kizaru, standing to the side, also took a step back, shaking his head helplessly. "Ooh~ Disagreement right at the start? This battle might become difficult!"
Aokiji's expression was dark as he gritted his teeth lightly. "That guy, Akainu... he doesn't intend to follow the advice given by the light curtain at all!"
Seeing Akainu take the initiative, Sengoku sighed back in Marineford. "Is that so..."
Vice Admiral Tsuru and Garp also narrowed their eyes, saying nothing.
There wasn't much change on Yuichi's face. Given Akainu's personality, Yuichi had guessed he would do this. The current Akainu feared no enemy; at his peak, he wanted to crush his opponents with overwhelming strength.
The power of the Magma-Magma Fruit was indeed among the best of the Logia class. Coupled with Haki, Akainu's power was truly formidable!
"Hellhound!!!"
Bubububu...
Magma erupted continuously from Akainu's arm. His right hand transformed into molten rock and extended rapidly.
The lava fist that burst forth in an instant surprised Jiraiya, who was facing him head-on. Seeing such an attack method for the first time, even he felt it was an eye-opening experience.
"You guys, dodge—"
Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, Tsunade and Orochimaru had already leaped to the sides.
Shaking his head helplessly—these two guys still respond so quickly!—Jiraiya quickly formed hand seals the moment the lava erupted in front of him.
The seals were complete!
"Ninja Art: Needle Jizo!!!"
It was a defensive technique where he controlled his hair to wrap tightly around his body. The hair would harden, increasing his defense. At the same time, he could control the hair to attack the enemy.
In an instant, Jiraiya's long silver hair completely encased him.
Boom!!! Buzz!!
The lava slammed into the hardened hair, but it didn't break through!
Akainu's eyes widened in disbelief. How could mere hair block his lava?
In reality, although the defense wasn't penetrated, Jiraiya felt a terrifying heat seeping toward his chest.
This is bad, Jiraiya thought.
He hastily controlled his hair, shooting out strands one by one like sharp silver needles.
Whoosh whoosh!!
A volley of sharp hair pierced through Akainu's body. However, the Logia body remained completely unaffected.
Can't hurt him?
"Wild Lion's Mane Technique!"
The hair transformed into the shape of a lion and wound toward Akainu. The power contained within the hair was enough to tear a person apart easily.
However, the hair wrapped around Akainu was melted by the high temperature within seconds.
Jiraiya backed away quickly, putting distance between himself and Akainu.
The clash between the two had happened in the blink of an eye. However, this first collision of powers between the two worlds made the audience and the people of both worlds widen their eyes in surprise.
Ninja: What speed... It's amazing how fast he accelerates with only physical strength. And his arms can turn into lava? What a horrifying thing to attack with.
Pirate: Hair can also be turned into a weapon? And it blocked the attack of the Logia Magma-Magma Fruit? What is up with that guy's hair?
