"An old man, insisting on getting involved."
Kevin looked at Zephyr with impatience.
He had already completely lowered Akainu and their guard.
Maintaining such an extreme state was very tiring.
He was already preparing to find an opportunity to deliver the final blow to Akainu, but Zephyr came and disrupted Kevin's chance.
In that case.
Then he would bestow it upon Zephyr.
...
Zephyr took off his Navy coat, looked back at the distant warship, and shouted, "Watch closely, this is the consequence of causing trouble on the sea!"
After speaking.
Zephyr's fist muscles bulged, and his arm swelled several times in size.
Each step shook the ground as he charged furiously towards Kevin.
The commotion was astonishing.
His aura was overwhelming.
In the eyes of Rookies like Ain, it left an indelible memory, their burning gaze fixed intently.
Kevin exhaled a long breath.
His last remaining strength, leaving no trace, slowly converged on his blade.
He leaped up.
He only leaped a few dozen meters high, and the confidence on Zephyr's face grew stronger. Is that all? What strength does he have left to fight me?
"Divine Strike - Thunder Birth - All Things Destroyed!"
Kevin was enveloped in flashing lightning.
He transformed into the God of Thunder.
Real, crackling lightning, combined with the golden lightning of Conqueror's Haki, descended from the sky, like a heavenly punishment of lightning, arriving in the world.
His blade dragged a straight line of lightning.
One strike fell.
"This?"
The faces of Akainu, Aokiji, and the third person suddenly changed drastically.
"Impossible, Kevin actually still hid such an ability, he actually still had such combat power." Akainu looked incredulously at Kevin, who had unleashed a strike surpassing any of his previous ones.
He was stunned.
He had fought Kevin from beginning to end.
He knew Kevin's condition best.
"Don't just stand there, save him!" Kizaru exclaimed.
But even he was the slowest to move.
"This, this, this..." Zephyr's confident fist, which he had thrown out, faltered.
He felt the move that tore through space.
A long-lost sense of crisis enveloped his heart.
There wasn't enough time to unleash his full power.
He thought any casual move would be enough to defeat Kevin; he hadn't gathered his full strength at all, and now it was too late.
He was dumbfounded.
"Boom!"
Kevin landed, like a giant bolt of lightning striking down.
The surging force shot up into the sky, like a pillar connecting heaven and earth.
The flashing lightning spread out, the ground twisted like a rag, and No. 1 Island became a riddled ruin.
"This?"
The spectators were dumbfounded.
Even those without strength could tell that Kevin had reached his limit just now and had no combat ability left.
Suddenly, he unleashed such a powerful strike.
No one reacted in time.
"Pfft!"
A figure was sent flying out of the explosion, leaving a long trail of blood in the air.
"It's Teacher Zephyr!"
The students on the warship followed Zephyr with their gaze, witnessing him heavily smash onto the ice surface, shattering dozens of meters of thick ice.
Zephyr, with his body, carved out a river several thousand meters long in the ice.
Until he disappeared into the sea.
"Teacher Zephyr, he wouldn't be....."
"So much blood, so much blood."
The students screamed in panic.
On the battlefield.
Aokiji and Akainu, working together, blocked Kevin's blade.
"Despicable fellow." Akainu glared angrily at Kevin.
"You should be grateful that Zephyr took the hit for you."
Akainu froze.
A chill ran down his spine.
That's right.
If it weren't for Teacher Zephyr, that hidden move of Kevin's would have likely been endured by himself, and if he hadn't reacted in time, wouldn't he have ended up like Teacher Zephyr?
Akainu was unsure of Zephyr's current condition.
But he saw the entire arm left on the ground, and besides the arm, there was also a part of the shoulder and chest tissue.
"Go all out, kill him!"
Akainu activated his Logia awakening ability, and magma immediately covered the entire shattered island, striking the already weakened Kevin with a single punch, sending him flying.
Kevin landed in the magma ocean.
He slowly and with difficulty stood up from the magma.
Hot magma flowed all over his body, and the magma began to consume his body.
Everyone witnessed an unforgettable sight.
In the magma ocean, Kevin stood amidst it, magma flowing over him, his blade propped in front of him.
The aura of life was rapidly leaving him.
At this moment.
Many people, seeing this scene, couldn't help but feel sorrow.
Akainu had originally intended to mock Kevin a few more times, but for a moment, he fell silent.
"Mr. Kevin, he's about to go."
Many pirates silently stood straight, removed their hats, and bowed.
Others who were not pirates watched Kevin depart with heartfelt respect.
"It's a pity that I didn't become friends with Kevin back at the Navy Recruit Camp." Smoker's tone was somewhat hollow.
---Seeking flowers 0 --- Hina took out a cigarette for the first time and took a heavy drag.
The new recruits like Ain, who had been indoctrinated with the idea that pirates were the worst, unforgivable, and undeserving of sympathy.
At this moment.
For some reason, they couldn't help but watch him go with respect as well.
"Mr. Sengoku said that Kevin's body should be brought back and made public."
Aokiji silently glanced at Kizaru: "Is it necessary?"
Akainu said: "It's not necessary. He will soon turn to ashes in the magma; there will be nothing to bring back."
Akainu calmly watched Kevin being continuously consumed by the magma: "I will send your companions to join you on the other side as soon as possible."
"Do you like a funeral like this?"
Kevin, with half his body already deep in the magma, burst into laughter: "Hahaha, I will not die!"
...He sank into the sea of magma while laughing.
This scene.
Was once again etched into everyone's gaze and minds.
The Navy's own reporters.
Quickly arrived at the scene.
They aimed at the laughing Kevin in the magma, snapping photos frantically, recording every detail of Kevin being swallowed by the magma.
Shortly thereafter.
These photos would appear in the World Government's newspapers and then be released to the entire world.
Informing the seas.
Kevin is dead.
Swallowed bit by bit.
Everyone watched silently as Kevin was completely swallowed by the magma until he disappeared.
Akainu, Aokiji, and the others kept their Observation Haki locked onto Kevin's position.
Sensing his presence fading more and more until it vanished.
He was truly dead.
Without any doubt.
"Ice Age!" Aokiji unleashed his ultimate move.
Cold air permeated the sea of magma.
Freezing everything.
A layer of ice over ten meters thick extinguished the magma, covering the scorched earth and completely freezing the entire island.
A layer of ice that wouldn't thaw for years.
"Let's not disturb him anymore."
"The battle is finally over." Kizaru let out a long sigh of relief.
He had thought it would be an easy mission.
He hadn't expected it to be so difficult.
"Kevin is dead! The war is over!"
Akainu's roar.
Spread throughout the Sabaody Archipelago.
Even those who couldn't come to watch could hear Akainu's voice.
Kevin is dead!!!
Although they had known this would be the result, when it was confirmed, many people still stood frozen in place, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
