"Sakazuki, execute the Buster Call."
"Yes, sir!"
Sakazuki, who had finally waited for this sentence, had a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
He hadn't forgotten that during the livestream, Rosse referred to his position as Admiral Candidate.
After all, this was a Buster Call. If his rank was too low, people would doubt him. The identity of Admiral Candidate was just right.
Moreover, this identity was merely a tacit title allowed by the Marine, not a real rank. Even if Rosse called him that, it wouldn't have any real impact.
Now, it was his time to shine.
BOOM!!!
Under the gaze of everyone in the world, Sakazuki's legs turned into magma as he personally soared into the sky.
Just this takeoff alone caused countless civilians to cry out in shock, and all pirates with bounties below 100 million to stare intently.
"METEOR VOLCANO!"
Sakazuki clenched his fists tightly, as if they were two volcano craters about to erupt, aiming at the firmament.
Immediately, an indescribable energy boiled within his body, transforming into endless heat waves and light. Sakazuki's fists suddenly turned into two magma cannons erupting with explosive force, their power immense enough to shake heaven and earth.
BOOM!!! BOOM!!!
The deafening noise exploded like thunder, shaking every inch of air, and also shaking the hearts of the viewers.
Every second, hundreds of magma blasts shot from his fists like furious fire dragons. Each magma projectile was the size of a basketball, scorching hot and dazzling, tearing through the sky and leaving behind long, brilliant trails.
These magma balls didn't fall immediately in the air. Instead, under Sakazuki's astonishing control, they seemed to be bound by invisible chains, floating in the sky and forming a sea of flowing magma.
The magma slowly rotated in the air, weaving into breathtaking patterns, dazzling like a meteor shower in the sky, yet carrying destructive power.
If it were a normal battle, this magma would have already poured down under Sakazuki's control as soon as it was launched.
But this time, to achieve the best display effect, Sakazuki chose to charge up first.
With his current stamina, he could keep shooting magma like this for an entire day.
If there was any strain, it was more in maintaining control to keep the magma from falling than in generating it.
Rosse stood silently at the bow of the ship, admiring the burning clouds in the sky.
Just such a magnificent scene was enough to bring shock to the viewers.
When the magma covered a radius of 100 meters above the Tree of Knowledge, awe could be seen in the civilians' eyes, and pirates with bounties in the tens of millions showed fear.
When the magma expanded to 500 meters, even pirates with 100 million bounties began to show dread.
When the magma reached 1000 meters, even New World big-name pirates appeared visibly solemn.
At this moment, due to the knowledge that the World Government was broadcasting the Buster Call live, many people began gathering around screens to witness this rare spectacle.
Even a few kings of the New World, upon hearing about the Buster Call, joined in with a mindset of watching the fun.
This moment came when the magma sea had expanded to 2000 meters.
At this point, the magma sea already filled the sky, as if a natural disaster had descended.
Seeing this scene, both Dragon and Whitebeard, who were watching the livestream, couldn't help showing serious expressions.
It wasn't that they thought they couldn't win, but from the sheer destructive display, even if they did win, all nearby companions would have been wiped out.
Only lone wolves like Red the Aloof(Patrick Redfield), or pirates like Big Mom who didn't care about companions, could calmly watch Sakazuki's performance.
BOOM!!!
When the magma sea reached 2500 meters, two hours had already passed.
At this moment, everyone was focused on the livestream, many betting on just how far Sakazuki's move could go.
Only some powerful individuals could guess that Sakazuki was almost at his limit.
If Sakazuki could continue expanding it further, then his strength could be on par with Whitebeard, which was clearly impossible.
But after such a display by Sakazuki, no one doubted that he had Admiral-level strength anymore. At most, they thought he was still slightly below Whitebeard and others.
Sakazuki's eyes now showed a bit of strain. This scale was about his limit.
Even so, the magma sea had completely covered the Tree of Knowledge.
"METEOR FALL!"
Sakazuki shouted loudly.
With this command, the magma sea in the sky seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and began to tilt slowly.
The magma suspended in the air, as if freed from restraints, turned into furious meteors with world-ending power, pouring down on Ohara.
The magma descended like lava flows during a volcanic eruption, sliding from the sky, cutting through the air with blinding light hot enough to melt a mountain, and endless destructive power, roaring toward Ohara. The entire island seemed submerged in a crimson ocean, with no escape, no hiding.
Sakazuki's power was displayed to the fullest at this moment. The magma stream was like his fury unleashed. Wherever it passed, whether solid rock or lush trees, everything was instantly melted into nothingness.
At the center of Ohara Island, the thousand-meter-tall Tree of Knowledge bore the brunt. Magma rained down like a storm on its trunk and branches, instantly engulfing it.
The massive body of the Tree of Knowledge appeared so fragile under the raging magma, like a mere toy under Sakazuki's might. The trunk crackled as it burned, and the leaves withered rapidly under the scorching heat, turning into wisps of smoke drifting away.
If even the Tree of Knowledge ended up like this, there was no need to mention the houses and buildings on the island, which turned to ash in a matter of moments under the flood of magma.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of burning and the suffocating heat of the magma, as if the entire world had been engulfed by Sakazuki's flames.
On the nearest warship, Rosse and the others could all feel a wave of searing heat rushing toward them.
Everyone on the ship had solemn expressions.
Rosse squinted slightly, merely quietly admiring the grand fireworks before him.
Though he marveled at Sakazuki's power, he believed that one day, he would reach that level too.
Moreover, the fruit he chose might even produce an effect stronger than Sakazuki's.
Zephyr was the calmest among everyone. Though it had been a long time since he'd seen Sakazuki in action, he had already estimated Sakazuki's potential beforehand.
Seeing Sakazuki's power now, Zephyr's eyes showed a trace of satisfaction.
Gion, Zannie, and Stella were also silently observing, but all had reverence for the powerful in their eyes. Even Zannie and Gion were seeing an Admiral-level full-power attack for the first time.
If they had to face an Admiral-level powerhouse one-on-one, they wouldn't last a single exchange.
Olvia and Robin had the most complicated expressions. Watching the Tree of Knowledge burning in the blazing magma, tears flowed from their eyes.
What was burning—was their homeland.
