The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

For the first time, a solemn expression appeared in Sakazuki's blazing golden lava eyes. He had never expected that, on this vast ocean, there was no one else besides him.

There is actually a second Logia-type Devil Fruit user who has stepped into this unpredictable realm of awakening, and in such a violent and... godlike manner.

He originally hoped that this person was Kuzan, but he did not expect that Enel would be one step ahead of Kuzan and complete the awakening of the Rumble-Rumble Logia-type Devil Fruit.

The divine power awakened by nature and the domineering spirit of humanity still appear pale in the face of true natural disaster power.

He had originally thought that with the overwhelming power of the fruit, he could quickly end the war, but now it seemed that this would be a tough battle.

But before that, he absolutely could not allow Shiki the Golden Lion, that monster who had abandoned his humanity, to interrupt Artoria's crucial belief.

Even in his lava form, Sakazuki could still clearly feel a warm and unwavering power flowing like a gentle stream from the distant city walls, merging into his raging lava body.

Artoria's leadership qualities do not directly enhance his destructive power, but rather act as a guiding light, stabilizing his human will as a member of Sakazuki.

This made his belief in absolute justice as firm as a rock, thus suppressing the demonic instinct within him known as Molten Mulgais, ensuring that he firmly held control of his body, and preventing his divinity from overwhelming his humanity for the time being.

"Shiki...you scum who doesn't even deserve to be called a 'human,' go to hell!"

The Lava Demon God let out a deafening roar, and the magma on its massive body and chest surged violently.

The next moment, a brand new giant hand, composed entirely of highly condensed dark red magma, burst forth from the body like a flower blooming in hell.

This newly formed giant hand is far faster and stronger than before, and contains an extremely high energy density, so much so that the surrounding space is slightly distorted.

With a will to burn everything, it grabbed at Shiki the Golden Lion with unparalleled precision. Akainu was determined to eliminate this scourge for the Navy.

After being transformed into a demon, Shiki, relying on the strange intuition brought about by the mutation, immediately sensed a deadly threat and frantically activated the power of the Float-Float Fruit in an attempt to escape.

To his horror, he discovered that the surrounding space seemed to be frozen by the terrifying energy contained in that giant magma hand, making his movements extremely difficult and slow, like a flying insect trapped in amber.

Perhaps only Admiral Borsalino, who has honed his speed to the extreme, could barely escape the constraints of this energy field.

"Akainu, I've said it once, your opponent is not me." Shiki's four eyes were fixed on the approaching lava giant hand, but a sinister smile of triumph appeared on his face, as if mocking Sakazuki's distraction.

Rumble——! ! !

The Takemikazuchi in the sky has moved!

Enel, who had transformed into the Thunder Giant, seemed extremely angry at Sakazuki for ignoring him and attacking Shiki instead.

Its enormous arm, made of lightning, suddenly rose and plunged straight into the thick, inky clouds overhead, churning with endless lightning.

In an instant, all the lightning within the dark clouds, whether serpentine, spherical, or net-like, seemed to receive a supreme summons, frantically converging, compressing, and condensing towards Takemikazuchi's arm!

Buzzing sound—Whoosh!

The tooth-grinding crackling of electricity reached its peak, and the next moment, Takemikazuchi's arm was suddenly pulled out of the dark clouds.

In its hand, it already held a colossal thunder spear composed entirely of highly compressed, destructive energy.

The spear shimmered with a blinding blue-white light, and the arcs of electricity leaping from its tip seemed capable of tearing through space. "Arrogant magma monster, how dare you disregard the existence of this god?!"

Takemikazuchi unleashed a roar that combined Enel's thunderous howl, his massive lightning body assuming a perfect throwing stance, channeling all his power into his lightning spear, and hurling it fiercely toward the Lava Demon's enormous head.

The speed of the lightning spear surpassed that of sound, like a beam of judgment traversing the sky, distorting even the light in its path.

Sakazuki's attention was mostly focused on intercepting Shiki, and by the time he realized the deadly threat coming from his side and above, it was too late to make a perfect defense.

Under the watchful eyes of countless terrified people, the enormous lightning spear, like a hot knife through butter, pierced the head of the Lava Demon God with precision and ferocity.

The spearhead even pierced through the back of its head, bringing with it a large spray of magma that had already solidified before it hit the ground. Moments later, violent lightning energy raged and exploded inside its magma-formed head. Blue-white electric snakes clashed fiercely with the dark red magma, triggering a series of explosions.

This destructive energy surge from within instantly disrupted Sakazuki's precise control over the energy throughout his body.

The newly formed lava giant hand that was about to seize Shiki suddenly froze due to the abrupt interruption of its energy supply and the shock to its consciousness caused by the damage to its core.

Then, like a clay sculpture that has lost its support, it shattered inch by inch, turning into countless burning magma blocks that crashed into the sea below, sending up towering white mist.

"It's a success!!"

"Lord Enel!!"

"Akainu... has been severely injured?!"

The pirates were overjoyed at surviving the ordeal, while the marines were in an uproar and disbelief.

The Lava Demon God, whom they considered almost invincible, was severely injured by the newly appeared Thor God in a single encounter?!

"Hehehehehehe..."

Shiki the Golden Lion stared at the Lava Demon's grotesque head, pierced by a thunderous spear, with magma spraying out like filthy blood.

He let out a hysterical laugh, filled with the satisfaction of revenge and mockery, since Akainu had tried to crush him like an insect.

"I've said it countless times, your opponent is Enel."

"You wouldn't believe me, and you insisted on distracting me. Now you know how much it hurts!"

Comparing Devil Fruit abilities, does Akainu think his magma is invincible?!

Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit, in terms of destructive power and speed, is no less than Akainu's. In the face of the true power of a 'god,' arrogance is Akainu's biggest weakness. The pirates' taunts are like poisonous thorns, precisely piercing Sakazuki's sore spot at this moment.

The pierced head of the Lava Demon God trembled violently, and a dull rumble of intense conflict between lightning energy and magma power emanated from within.

Sakazuki felt an unprecedented pain and a sluggish, uncontrolled energy surge. This time, he had committed the sin of arrogance, and being pierced through the head by Takemikazuchi was entirely his own fault.
