Chapter 292: Burnt Tree, Awakened Phoenix and Arrival

Chapter 292: Burnt Tree, Awakened Phoenix and Arrival

__________ POV Narration __________

Aramaki fell to his knees as soon as he felt that shock course through all of his roots.

Enel had disappeared from in front of him, proving his superiority by turning his great tree into charcoal in the blink of an eye.

That tree was where Aramaki had hidden his real body, and it had taken all of his energy to transfer his consciousness to the wooden clone he had created, which was now also weakened.

All it took was angering the wrong person for a split second.

Garp and the rest of the Marines all winced when seeing his pathetic form, but they didn't pity him they were enemies in that war.

Instead, Zephyr and Garp both rushed forward, their fists cocked backwards as they prepared to crush Aramaki for good.

This time, however, the wooden admiral didn't try to block their attacks with his body, having expended most of his extra lives.

In an instant, charred roots sprouted out from the ground and slapped the two of them back.

Aramaki panted as the gigantic tree behind him collapsed, breaking into pieces whilst a much smaller one grew from its desecrated body.

The roots he had grown tried to rush at everyone at once, aiming to skewer as many people as possible.

But every time he even got close to someone...

"Takt!"

The voice of that annoying doctor resounded in his ears. Law was controlling the battlefield on a level that made it difficult for a weakened Aramaki to fight back.

To make things even worse, he swapped Garp with one of the charred rocks by his left side, and he swapped Akainu on the other side.

"Galaxy Impact!"

"Meigo! (Dark Hound!)"

Before he could even move, his body was crushed from one side by a powerful shockwave, whilst it was torn apart from the other side by a blackened magma claw.

Aramaki still managed to dive into the ground, most of his torso was broken and burnt, and his arms had been blown off, but he still managed to survive.

Akainu scowled when sensing him enter the earth, and he immediately slammed his magma fists into the ground.

"Bakuretsu Kazan! (Exploding Vulcano!)"

In an instant, the ground all around Akainu exploded, magma gushing out of the earth as Garp jumped backwards.

"You trying to pick a fight, magma brat?!?" The Marine Hero wiped some magma from his sleeve as his white suit burned slightly due to the sheer heat.

"Yasakani no Magatama! (Comma Jewel of Eight Shaku!)" Fôll0w current novÊls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)

Kizaru took to the skies, sending thousands upon thousands of light beams straight into the almost liquified magma ground.

Everything around Akainu had been destroyed, and the lasers made sure that nothing had even the slightest chance of escaping.

In the distance, the flames on the ground made the Saint Peter wriggle on the ground even harder. The Worm Elder somehow managed to escape Dragon's grasp.

Meanwhile, Marco's sharp talons tore further into Saint Saturn.

"Did you enjoy digging your claws into Pop's back? Did you like how helpless he was against three of you?" Marco's voice held venom within it as he quite literally squeezed the life out of Saturn.

"Y-you! You mongrels won't succeed!" Saturn didn't respond to his questions, instead, he continued to struggle, whilst his body continued trying to heal less and less, as he was being torn apart constantly.

"W-we brought order to these dirty lands! We taught all of you peasants how to behave!" Saturn was having a full-on mental breakdown on his dying breath.

"Lord IMU will bring an end to all of you! He will maintain the world we have built! The balance-"

Marco was not really in the mood to entertain him anymore though.

"Hmph, you talk big for someone who won't even be here to see the results of this war!" With that, Marco clutched as hard as he could, his Haki-covered claws rending the Elder's body apart in an instant, sending chunks of flesh and exoskeleton flying everywhere.

The flesh continued to wriggle for a while, but Saturn no longer had the energy to heal from that. The pieces of his body soon turned to ash as Marco turned up the temperature to cook him completely.

The Awakened Pheonix then turned his sights towards Nusjuro, who was still struggling against Sanji, Zoro and Mihawk.

He wanted to swoop in and rip the half-horse elder apart with his talons, but in an instant, he felt his powers fail him. The blue flaming sea that had covered the battlefield disappeared in an instant.

The Exhaustion of using an awakened form had set in, and he returned to his human form. After all, Marco's body was weaker than Enel's when he first awakened... He was wholly unprepared for how draining awakening could be on the body.

He ended up free-falling to the ground, his strained muscles failing to react as he tried to command them to move. He closed his eyes before reaching the ground, only for a set of large hands to catch him.

Marco's eyes opened wide as he felt all of the momentum of his fall disappear completely, it felt more like he had laid down. His widened eyes stared straight into Kuma's smile and sunglasses.

The Tyrant King placed him right beside the body of Whitebeard, before turning around and heading to help Dragon alongside Sabo.

They only got halfway there before Dragon made his move to stop the Worm from diving into the ground.

With a beat of his wings, Dragon created a current so strong that it pushed both Kuma and Sabo backwards, whilst also sending countless flying, covering the Worm Elder's gigantic body in deep cuts.

Meanwhile, Shanks had just stepped onto their battlefield, sending a flying slash towards Nusjuro and forcing him to break his attention away from his current opponents, which gained him another round of brutal injuries.

"Wow... You guys really didn't need my help..." The Red-Haired Emperor blinked a few times before looking backwards, thinking about helping the marines, only to notice that the gigantic tree from before was in pieces... of charcoal.

'What the hell?!? So I could've had my duel then?!'
