With a loud explosion, a massive fiery lava fist slammed down hard onto the One-Tail Shukaku, creating a large hole in its body from the tremendous impact...
"Roar... It hurts so much! You bastard, how dare you hurt me! I will definitely kill you, kill you..." After taking a fierce hit from Akainu's molten lava fist, One-Tail Shukaku let out a tremendous scream of agony.
However, immediately after, the swirling yellow sand around began to rush towards One-Tail Shukaku, and the large hole on its body instantly healed...
One-Tail Shukaku's body is completely made of energy, so even if it suffers a powerful attack, it won't die and can recover in an instant...
"You bastard, die for me..." Once its body was restored, One-Tail Shukaku raised its gigantic claw and fiercely attacked Akainu...
"You should be the one to die... Lava - Dog Bite Red Lotus..." Facing One-Tail Shukaku's attack, Akainu once again unleashed the powers of the Magma Fruit, transforming his entire arm into flowing lava, which then coalesced into a massive dog head to meet One-Tail Shukaku's assault...
"Bang... rumble!..." A tremendous collision sound erupted as Akainu's lava and One-Tail Shukaku's attacks clashed, sending countless grains of yellow sand and lava splattering everywhere...
One-Tail Shukaku's enormous claw shattered in the explosion, while Akainu was pushed back by the immense recoil, stumbling back over ten meters before stabilizing himself...
"So strong, what kind of creature is this..." Seeing One-Tail Shukaku recover once again, Akainu furrowed his brow...
Through the previous confrontation, Akainu was very clear that the One-Tail Shukaku not only possessed immense strength but also had an incredibly terrifying recovery ability.
"Damn it, you little pest, you hurt me again... die for me..."
"Wind Release: Sand Bullet..."
One-Tail Shukaku let out a roar, and countless sandballs gathered together, resembling dense bullets, rapidly attacking Akainu...
"Elementalization..." Facing One-Tail Shukaku's attack, Akainu quickly elementalized, transforming into lava...
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." The dense sandball bullets easily passed through Akainu's lava body, causing him no harm whatsoever...
Although Akainu easily dodged One-Tail Shukaku's attack thanks to the powers of his Logia-type Devil Fruit, the other Marines were not so fortunate; they lacked Akainu's overwhelming strength...
Under One-Tail Shukaku's fierce assault, these Marines screamed in agony, suffering heavy losses...
"Damn it, all of you retreat! He is not someone you can contend with..." Akainu shouted loudly...
"Yes... retreat, everyone retreat..." Upon hearing Akainu's command, all the Marines evacuated, leaving only Akainu and One-Tail Shukaku behind...
"Lava - Meteor Volcano!" Akainu continued to attack One-Tail Shukaku, and with both hands, he launched torrents of scorching lava, each lava fist falling like a meteor, crashing into One-Tail Shukaku...
"Boom... boom... boom..." Each falling lava fist erupted with a tremendous explosion, creating large holes in One-Tail Shukaku's body with every blast...
"Ah... it hurts! It's so hot!..." Under Akainu's relentless assault, One-Tail Shukaku kept screaming...
However, Akainu soon realized something was off...
Despite the ferocity of Akainu's attacks, each one inflicted significant damage on One-Tail Shukaku, causing it to scream in pain...
But upon closer observation, it became evident that after each attack, the sand surrounding One-Tail Shukaku surged towards the wounds, and in the blink of an eye, the injuries would completely heal...
This meant that despite Akainu's prolonged assault, he had not inflicted any substantial damage on One-Tail Shukaku...
"You despicable bastard, die for me... Sand Flow Waterfall..." An enraged One-Tail Shukaku slammed its massive claw down onto the ground...
"Rumble..." Suddenly, the entire sandy surface surged, and countless grains of yellow sand flew up like a massive wave, rushing towards Akainu...
"What! ... Not good! ..." Faced with the oncoming tide, Akainu was taken aback; he wanted to evade, but the wave was too immense, the overwhelming yellow sand completely engulfing everything around him, leaving Akainu with no escape...
Now, Akainu could only watch helplessly as the massive wave surged towards him...
"Rumble!..." Accompanied by a thunderous roar that shook the earth, the wave engulfed Akainu, continuing to surge into the distance...
One-Tail Shukaku's strike had completely altered the surrounding environment, transforming it into a sandy wasteland...
But was Admiral Akainu really defeated just like that!? Clearly, that was impossible...
If Akainu could be so easily defeated, he would not be regarded as the highest combat power of the Marines...
Suddenly, within the yellow sand, the temperature rose sharply, followed by a reddening glow... Accompanied by a tremendous roar, the yellow sand exploded, and countless lava surged forth as Akainu burst out from the molten rock...
"Hellhound..." Without a moment's hesitation, Akainu's entire arm instantly transformed into lava, launching an attack towards One-Tail Shukaku's head...
"Boom..." A massive explosion erupted, and One-Tail Shukaku's head was blown apart...
"Roar roar roar... it hurts! ... You damned bastard... Wind Release - Vacuum Sphere..." One-Tail Shukaku shouted, unleashing gigantic wind balls from its mouth...
"Not good! ... Elementalization! ..." Faced with One-Tail Shukaku's attack, Akainu dared not take it head-on, transforming his body back into lava to swiftly evade the assault...
"Damn it, this ability again! ... You bastard, you're as annoying as an eel..." After being repeatedly evaded by Akainu's Logia-type Devil Fruit powers, One-Tail Shukaku became increasingly agitated...
"In that case! I'll seal your powers first..."
One-Tail Shukaku's body quickly transformed into a mass of yellow sand, surging towards Akainu...
"Useless... your sand cannot compete with my lava..." Akainu paid no mind to One-Tail Shukaku's attack.
In Akainu's view, although this gigantic creature was incredibly powerful, he was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user; with his elementalization ability, he believed he could not be harmed...
As the yellow sand surged towards him, Akainu was about to use his elementalization ability to evade...
But at that moment, Akainu's body stiffened, and his expression changed drastically...
"What is happening!? Why can't I use my elementalization ability..." Akainu thought in shock.
At the same time, the surrounding yellow sand quickly closed in, completely encircling Akainu, leaving only his head exposed... Meanwhile, the sand was covered in countless patterns...
"Desert Layer Burial Seal... Successful..."
