"Magnetic Control!!"
*Bang!!*
Following Kid's explosive shout, a powerful magnetic force fiercely erupted from his palm!
As a being of flesh and blood, Allen was affected by this magnetic force. His chest felt as if it had been struck head-on by a locomotive, and he was sent flying backward like a broken kite!
"It's not over yet!"
Kid roared with a ferocious glare. Dense purple electrical sparks flashed across his body, connecting to all the surrounding metal objects. He curled his fingers, brought his palms together, and thrust them forward!
"Magnetic Crash!!"
Under his control, the surrounding metal objects, big and small, had their magnetism amplified and shot toward the airborne Allen at extreme speeds!
*Whoosh—!*
Allen spread the wings on his back, halting his backward momentum and steadying himself just as a massive amount of metal debris came hurtling toward him!
'An Awakening technique...'
Allen glanced down at the purple electrical symbol flashing on his chest, instantly recognizing his opponent's move.
Knowing that his magnetized body couldn't evade the incoming attack, Allen quickly raised his arms, hardening his entire body with Armament Haki to block it!
"Iron Body・Steel!!"
*Clang!! Clang!! Clang!!*
The metal objects continuously smashed into him with dull thuds until Allen was completely swallowed by the metallic ruins, rapidly encasing him in a giant metal sphere!
Kid gritted his teeth and curled his fingers tightly, pushing his ability to its absolute limit.
The metal sphere hovered in the air, gradually compressing and tightening under the pull of internal magnetic forces, as if trying to crush Allen into a meat patty!
After completing this move, Kid's chest heaved as he panted heavily, temporarily falling into a weakened state. However, a smug smirk rose on the corners of his mouth.
"Sink to the bottom of the sea, you idiot."
With that, Kid released his hands, cutting off the magnetic pull and letting the massive metal sphere plummet toward the ocean.
But right then, a red glow emanated from the surface of the metal sphere. The tightly sealed mechanical structure began to loosen and disintegrate, and streaks of scorching, crimson magma seeped out!
"What?"
Kid furrowed his brows, staring in astonishment.
The moment the bottom of the metal sphere touched the water's surface...
*Boom!!!*
The giant iron sphere suddenly exploded from the inside! A massive amount of scorching magma burst forth!
Countless metal fragments were heated red-hot or even melted. Carrying terrifyingly high temperatures, they splashed out in all directions like lava from an erupting volcano!
Allen's figure emerged from within. Flapping his pitch-black wings, he hovered in the air. Floating above his right hand was a crimson-gold fireball, its surface swirling with magma like a miniature sun.
He raised the fireball high above his head, and the magma Homie, Zhurong, rapidly expanded.
In the blink of an eye, the fireball transformed into a scorching, blazing sun. The terrifying heat caused the surrounding seawater to boil!
"Magma this time? Just how many tricks does this guy have?"
Kid gritted his teeth, staring warily at the burning sun in the sky. If he got hit by that thing, he wouldn't just walk away with injuries.
"Magnetic Control!!"
He raised his palm toward Allen, electrical sparks bursting from his hand, and thrust it downward, attempting to interrupt Allen's attack and send him crashing into the sea.
However, the expected scene did not occur.
Despite activating his ability, Allen's body didn't budge an inch!
"What?!"
Kid's eyes widened in shock. He saw a cloud of black mist swirling in front of Allen, and the magnetic pole symbol on his chest gradually dimmed until it was completely erased.
"A nice trick. If you had managed to send me to the bottom of the sea, you might have actually won. Unfortunately, the power of darkness can nullify any effects applied to me by ability users."
Allen chuckled dismissively, his tone teasing. "Try your best to survive. I'd feel quite regretful if you died here."
"Incinerate All Creation・Heavenly Blaze!!"
Allen let out an explosive shout, holding the massive blazing sun with his large hand, and hurled it forward!
A blinding fiery light suddenly bloomed, instantly illuminating the world and turning the entire space into a sea of white!
*Boom!!!*
With an ear-shattering explosion, the artificial sun detonated, instantly unleashing a terrifying shockwave of high-temperature energy!
In an instant, all the seawater within a hundred-meter radius was completely evaporated!
The scorching heatwave from the explosion rushed forward, instantly carving out a massive, hundred-meter-wide vacuum crater in the ocean's surface!
*Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!*
The nearby warships exploded one after another. In the face of this overwhelming, high-temperature shockwave, everything was effortlessly torn to shreds, burned to a crisp, and annihilated into dust!
A few moments later, the blinding firelight gradually dimmed, and the sky returned to its azure blue.
The turbulent sea slowly calmed down, with massive amounts of shattered wood and iron plating floating on the surface.
Severely burned, Kid's eyes rolled back as he completely lost consciousness. His entire body was glowing red, emitting wisps of smoke, as he slowly sank into the sea.
Allen turned his head and looked toward a ship in the distance.
Apoo and Hawkins stared at the scene before them with pale faces. The moment they noticed Allen's gaze shifting toward them, a chill instantly shot up their spines.
"Damn it! I thought that guy could hold out until we dealt with those two monsters, but he got defeated this quickly!"
Apoo scoffed with a displeased expression, turning to glance at Hawkins.
Seeing that Hawkins still had no intention of running, Apoo's eyes darted around, and he immediately turned and fled first!
When you can't outrun the enemy, you just need to outrun your teammate.
Apoo sprinted and bounded away, his long sleeves flapping wildly along with his lanky arms.
Only then did Hawkins finally snap back to reality. He immediately turned and glared furiously at Apoo.
"Hey! Get back here, you bastard!"
"Game over! I'm not playing with you guys anymore!"
Apoo shouted without looking back. He ran to the stern and leaped onto his own pirate ship.
"Turn the ship around! We're leaving!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The crew of the On Air Pirates frantically turned the rudder, steering the ship to turn around quickly.
However, Allen hadn't even spoken yet. How could it be so easy for them to leave?
A massive shadow swept across the sea, and the sky suddenly darkened.
Apoo looked back and instantly froze in panic.
A thick layer of dark clouds was rapidly expanding in the sky, quickly spreading right above their heads.
And Allen was standing right on top of the black clouds, resonating with Zeus's soul. Violent lightning faintly flashed within the oppressive thunderclouds!
"Tenman Daijizai Tenjin!!"
Following Allen's loud shout, Zeus's face twisted in anger, instantly unleashing hundreds, if not thousands, of purple lightning bolts!
*Rumble—!!*
A sky full of lightning crashed down, carrying terrifying energy that blanketed the entire ocean!
Not a single one of the dozen or so warships gathered by the Supernova alliance escaped. Amidst the wildly rampaging lightning, they were blown apart one after another, erupting into roaring flames!
With this, the alliance fleet of Kid, Hawkins, and Apoo was completely annihilated!
The thundercloud gradually shrank back to its original size, carrying Allen back to the destroyed train carriage.
"Make a call and have someone bring a ship over. Fish out Kid and Hawkins' men and treat them. As for that braided traitor, let him feed the fishes."
Allen casually ordered his subordinates.
Traitors were despised everywhere. Taking one in meant getting trash that wasn't even fit to be a watchdog.
