Chapter 126: Thunder that Shakes the Heavens!!
"—You damn brat?!"
The Fengxi Demon Boar, Saint Topman Warcury, snorted violently, torrents of air blasting from his nostrils like a raging dragon as his four hooves slammed into the ground.
His hardened black armor gleamed with a metallic sheen. Curved tusks jutted forward, and the scorching breath from his snout was hot enough to melt stone.
Hundreds of thick black-purple lightning bolts burst from his body as he charged forward!!
With a body tens of meters tall, he looked like a moving mountain.
Compared to that colossal form, Luffy looked utterly tiny. Black lightning shattered the air beneath his feet as his whole body shot forward like a falling star.
Around his fist, Conqueror's Haki Infusion surged like blazing flames—black and crimson lightning crackling wildly.
BOOM!!
The instant the two collided, the air itself was torn to pieces. The shockwave from their Haki erupted in all directions like the roar of a collapsing sky, splitting heaven and earth in half!
Gale winds exploded outward. The sea of clouds was ripped apart. The pressure waves sliced like blades, devouring all sound.
Despite the overwhelming difference in size—
Luffy held Warcury's charge back head-on!!
At the same time, Luffy clearly felt part of his own strength being reflected back at him by the power of Warcury's Fengxi Demon Boar form!
It had to be said—Warcury truly deserved his title as the "War God of Justice," the man who wielded the World Government's highest judicial authority and controlled all Cipher Pol organizations.
He was nothing like the useless fools such as Gyuki and Itsumade, who had sat in offices for eight hundred years—possessing Admiral-level bodies but lacking real combat instinct.
A faint yet undeniable sensation coursed through Luffy's muscles—like a subtle stream of heat flowing through his veins.
[Strength +1]
[Constitution +0.5]
That tangible improvement…
It felt damn good!!
Luffy pushed harder.
Black-red shockwaves exploded from his body as endless lightning surged into the bones of his fist.
"—This power?!"
The demon boar's eyes widened.
"Get… away from me!!"
BOOM!!
Warcury was blasted hundreds of meters into the sky, the thunderous impact ripping apart the earth below.
Within several kilometers, the ground simultaneously cracked and collapsed.
CRACK—CRACK—
The armor plating Warcury had once been proud of shattered piece by piece beneath Luffy's punch.
A storm of blood erupted into the air!!
Luffy hovered in the sky, his chest rising and falling rapidly.
Just then—
SWOOSH—!!
A flash of cold steel tore through the air, splitting the wind pressure.
The Skeletal Warhorse Demon transformed into a blur. The blade Shodai Kitetsu was tightly wrapped in Conqueror's Haki.
"Die, brat!!"
A terrifying slash streaked forward. Sword energy spiraled into a storm, carrying ghostly killing intent and blazing lightning straight toward Luffy.
A red glint flashed in Luffy's eyes.
Black lightning wrapped around his body as he twisted aside to dodge—
Then he lashed out with a kick coated in Conqueror's Haki Infusion, slamming directly into the skeletal demon!
CRACK!
The skeletal warhorse was sent flying, its bony body shattering like glass!
"SKREE—!!"
Saint Marcus Mars, in his Itsumade form, descended with thunder and flames swirling around him!!
"Tch… this just never ends!!"
Black lightning surged across Luffy's body, his Conqueror's Haki shaking the heavens.
Facing the Five Elders alone, he still showed no sign of weakening.
"So what if you manage to hold us back?!"
"They will never escape Marineford. And you are no match for us!!"
With a hoarse roar, the ground split open.
A grotesque Sandworm, dozens of meters tall, burst violently from the earth.
Its enormous mouth—packed with writhing rows of razor-sharp teeth—spewed highly corrosive mucus before swallowing Luffy whole in a single bite!
However—
BOOM!!
A gigantic beam of lightning blasted straight through the sandworm's body, leaving a massive hole.
Luffy's figure stood high in the sky.
"Whether they escape or not… isn't up to you."
Black lightning surged upward, connecting directly with the heavens.
Thunderclouds blanketed the sky as black lightning roared across it.
Soon, nearly ten colossal thunder dragons, each over a hundred meters long, emerged from the clouds—radiating an aura of destruction.
When a Logia-type Awakening user unleashes their ability without restraint…
Their thoughts themselves become natural disasters.
"Damn it! Isn't that brat supposed to have eaten that fruit?! How can he control natural lightning with this level of power?!"
Warcury roared.
Everyone knew Mythical Zoans could wield elemental powers, so Luffy's lightning wasn't surprising.
But even with Nika awakened, his lightning shouldn't be this strong.
In terms of elemental control—
Mythical Zoans should never rival Logias.
Yet today…
That iron rule seemed to have been shattered.
"Hold on! As long as the Navy defeats Whitebeard, this brat is dead!!"
Warcury glared with bell-like eyes—
While speaking the most cowardly words imaginable.
Elsewhere…
"Emporio Hormone: Adrenaline Shot!"
"Emporio Hormone: Adrenaline Shot!"
With Emporio Ivankov injecting Whitebeard, Ace, Sabo, and others with his hormones, the battlefield situation quickly began to reverse!
Marco reignited his blue flames, soaring into the air.
His legs transformed into talons, coated in Armament Haki, as he unleashed a powerful shockwave toward Akainu!
"Phoenix Brand!"
At the same time, Vista rushed forward as a blur with twin swords in hand, charging straight at Akainu.
"Fools who don't know their place!!"
Akainu's face darkened as he lunged like a hellhound tearing into prey.
His right arm swelled and twisted as he launched a lethal punch.
Great Eruption: Crimson Hound
Blue flames and magma clashed violently.
Within a hundred meters beneath Akainu, the ground collapsed several meters under the pressure as dust exploded upward.
His top-tier Armament Haki erupted, instantly blasting Marco away!
SWOOSH—
Vista's Haki-coated blades slashed into Akainu—
Only to splash molten magma!
Akainu shot forward, his molten fist smashing toward Vista!
Another Battlefield
Ace and Aokiji stood facing each other from afar.
Orange flames erupted from Ace's body.
"Mirror Flame!"
Aokiji raised his elbow, releasing a lifelike ice pheasant that shot forward.
Ice Block: Pheasant Beak
The two attacks collided.
Ice froze fire.
Fire evaporated ice.
In the end—
Both vanished.
"Ara ara… As expected of Whitebeard's Second Division Commander. What a pain."
Aokiji scratched his head.
Just then—
Diamond Jozu lunged forward, his elbow transformed into a diamond drill, smashing into Aokiji at incredible speed!
BANG!!
Aokiji was sent flying instantly, blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Sabo seized the opportunity.
His hands formed claw-like shapes—index and middle fingers together, ring and little finger curled.
His body blurred into an afterimage as he lunged toward the airborne Aokiji.
Dragon Claw Fist!
CRACK—
Sabo pierced straight through Aokiji's body.
But an overwhelming cold instantly froze Sabo solid!
"Fire Fist!!"
Ace blasted Aokiji back with a punch of roaring flames, protecting Sabo!
Even fighting together—
They were clearly no match for Aokiji.
At any moment…
They could be defeated.
Another Front
Violent shockwaves spread across the battlefield.
Whitebeard, surrounded by black-red lightning, roared like a god of war.
Sengoku, transformed into a gigantic golden Buddha, radiated blinding light. Black-red lightning flickered across the sky like divine wrath.
"Whitebeard! Must you really keep standing?!"
Sengoku thrust out his massive hand, releasing a golden shockwave that tore through space.
"Bullshit! Why don't you let my sons go first?!"
Whitebeard roared back, his punch unleashing a devastating tremor shockwave crackling with Conqueror's Haki.
BOOM!!
White and gold shockwaves collided violently.
Black-red lightning intertwined as the impact exploded outward.
The entire island trembled violently.
The sea of clouds split apart.
Such a terrifying clash immediately drew the attention of everyone fighting across the battlefield.
"Impossible! Whitebeard still has that much power?!"
A Marine Vice Admiral's expression stiffened.
"Of course! Pops is invincible!!"
The pirates erupted in cheers.
Whitebeard was their spiritual pillar.
Anyone still fighting on the island now possessed at least Vice Admiral-level strength.
Back in the Sky
"Damn it!!"
The monstrous bodies of the Five Elders were repeatedly destroyed within the sea of lightning—
Only to regenerate again and again.
"Those Navy Admirals are truly useless! They can't even handle the Whitebeard Pirates! We should never have relied on them!!"
The grotesque Sandworm, Saint Shepherd Peter, roared angrily.
Luffy stood in the sky, lightning swirling around him.
His face looked pale—
But his aura had not weakened in the slightest.
"Hah… and you talk like you're any stronger."
