Ace, however, was resolutely unwilling to leave. Everyone had sacrificed countless lives and injuries to save him. Now that they had encountered difficulties, how could he escape alone?
Suddenly, the entire Marineford shook violently, and the world seemed to be turned upside down. This scene had happened before, so it happened again, making the Navy soldiers of Marineford shout in horror.
"Not good, Whitebeard is showing his power, Whitebeard is showing his power!"
Whitebeard was indeed showing his power. He wanted to go support Akira, but he couldn't do it. And the Navy's high-end combat power, the Navy's three admirals, two were joining forces to deal with Akira, and one was dealing with the other division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates. So, there was no one who could face him head-on besides the countless Navy soldiers, and they could only delay him with numbers.
But Whitebeard was worthy of being Whitebeard. Since he couldn't support, then he used his abilities, once again wantonly destroying Navy Headquarters Marineford. Under his power, the surrounding Navy soldiers simply couldn't resist. After using the previous moves, he made Marineford even more chaotic, and many people who were fighting were also swaying.
This change also gave Akira an opportunity. They saw him use Ryūjin Jakka to forcefully push Aokiji away, and then quickly touch Kizaru with one foot, his figure quickly retreating backwards, and at the same time sheathing Ryūjin Jakka.
"Since you want me to die, then I'll let you experience true death!"
""All Ye Waves, Become My Shield. All Ye Thunder, Become My Blade: Sōgyo no Kotowari!"
In the midst of a loud shout, Akira suddenly pulled out Sōgyo no Kotowari, and quickly performed Shikai. He didn't stop after Shikai.
"Bankai! Great Thunder Rain Array: Shooting Fish!"
In an instant, they saw endless lightning flashing on the blades of Akira's Sōgyo no Kotowari, and then thunderclouds instantly rolled above him. A large area of thunderclouds quickly gathered in the sky above Marineford. Everyone could see the lightning flashing in the sky like swimming dragons. Even just looking at it, they could imagine the terror within.
"Fall!"
Because Whitebeard's attack just now had disrupted the balance of many people, the entire Marineford was in chaos. Before they had recovered, they saw endless lightning and rain falling from the sky.
"Rumble rumble..."
The sky above Marineford was like it had ushered in the end of the world. Terrifying lightning fell from the sky, wreaking havoc on Navy Headquarters.
How fast the lightning was, probably no one could calculate. They only saw the sky being covered by the light of lightning, and then endless lightning fell. The lightning fell on the ground, causing terrifying explosions, being dozens of times stronger than those cannonballs. With every lightning strike, many people were blown to death, and electrocuted to death.
Almost the entire plaza of Marineford was covered by lightning. What was even more terrifying was that the lightning's attacks had no target at all. It attacked everyone indiscriminately. As long as they were hit by the lightning, there was basically no possibility of survival.
Akira was just floating in the air like that, his whole body bathed in lightning, like a god of thunder. Whether it was lightning or rain, they all passed by his side, not having any effect on him.
Looking at the miserable situation below, Akira's face was full of ferocity. Actually, he didn't want to use this move, because even he hadn't fully controlled this move until now. To be precise, he was simply unable to control it, because the ability of this move was too terrifying. He could release this move, but he couldn't control all the lightning and rain. Once he used it, until it ended, everything within the range, except for him, would become its attack target.
The Bankai of Sōgyo no Kotowari was different from the Bankai of other Zanpakutō. Akira didn't know what the Bankai of Sōgyo no Kotowari in Bleach looked like, but what he had obtained was only the Great Thunder Rain Array move. But just this move was very terrifying.
Akira didn't want to use this move before, because he didn't like using moves that he couldn't fully control. Moreover, there were still many pirate crew members around at that time. But now, most of the pirates had already withdrawn from the plaza, and he was being dealt with by Aokiji and Kizaru, and it was indeed very strenuous. So, he had been forced to use this move.
The power of this move was beyond doubt. They saw the Navy soldiers in the plaza all fleeing in embarrassment everywhere to avoid the lightning and rain. But they discovered how ridiculous their actions were. No matter where they hid, the lightning that filled the sky would attack them.
"Quick, stop him, stop him!"
Akira's move was completely no worse than Whitebeard's move, and its destructive power was even stronger. In just a short period of time, many Navy soldiers had already died. This made Navy Fleet Admiral Sengoku unable to control his emotions, shouting out of control.
Kizaru and Aokiji were also stunned by Akira's move. The power of this move was even more than the previous Akainu's Meteor Volcano. Where the lightning struck, it was fragmented. If this situation continued, Navy Headquarters wouldn't be able to withstand this kind of bombardment.
Kizaru took action first. He used countless golden lights with both hands, quickly heading towards Akira. But just when his attack was about to reach in front of Akira, suddenly a lightning bolt exploded. The lightning directly covered the place where Akira was, and collided with Kizaru's golden light, emitting a huge roar.
The golden light and the lightning collided, the light being dazzling. But what shocked Kizaru was that when the light disappeared, Akira was actually floating there unharmed. He exclaimed, "How is that possible? He can really control the lightning, and he actually blocked my attack so easily?"
Kizaru was indeed somewhat unable to accept it. His attack power was very strong, and it was also fast. But Akira hadn't done anything. He was just floating there, and lightning from the sky came to help him, and even blocked his explosion faster.
Akira looked at Kizaru coldly, and said, "Is your flash speed faster, or is the speed of lightning faster?"
This was an unanswerable question, but judging from the situation just now, Akira's lightning speed was completely no slower than Kizaru's flash speed, and was even slightly better.
"You bastard!"
Kizaru's gaze turned gloomy. You had to know that what he had always been proud of was his speed. Before, when Akira used Tensa Zangetsu, his speed could indeed compete with him. But that was just a state of Akira's. If he changed to other weapons, his speed would still be inferior to him. Moreover, the flash speed that he used couldn't be compared to by Akira. But just now, the speed at which Akira controlled the lightning was already no slower than him. This was what made him unhappy.
A large amount of ice surged towards Akira. However, the ice simply couldn't get close to Akira, because countless lightning bolts had appeared around Akira, destroying all the ice.
"Lightning cannot be frozen!" Akira said again.
In everyone's eyes, Akira at this moment was really like a god of thunder, controlling the lightning, wantonly bombarding Navy Headquarters. Even the Navy admirals couldn't do anything to him. But no one had noticed that Akira's forehead was already covered with sweat. This move was powerful, but the burden was also very serious. This was still because he could only control a part of the lightning. If he were to control all of it, he would be even more strenuous.
"Is that still Akira? How could he have become so powerful?"
The old-timers of the Whitebeard Pirates were all looking at Akira in the air like a god of thunder in surprise. Even though they were familiar with Akira, they were also shocked by Akira's power at this time. Such power was completely no less than their Pops Whitebeard.
"That kid!"
Akainu also couldn't help but look back for a glance, his pupils filled with killing intent. However, he was relatively far from Akira, so he didn't prepare to turn back to deal with Akira. He wanted to execute Ace and the others first.
"Kuzan, Borsalino, attack together. We can't let him act recklessly like this anymore!"
In just a little over a minute, the entire plaza of Navy Headquarters had already been destroyed beyond recognition. The surrounding Navy buildings had also collapsed in a large area. Sengoku, seeing this scene, felt heartache at the same time, and his anger was also difficult to conceal. He shouted at Aokiji and Kizaru, and then he also used his abilities, turning into a golden Buddha.
Kizaru and Aokiji both had their expressions turn serious. They immediately understood Sengoku's meaning. Their individual attacks couldn't defeat Akira, but if the three of them joined forces to attack, even if Akira was strong, he definitely wouldn't be able to resist.
The three were preparing at the same time. This scene was naturally seen by Whitebeard. Although he was also stunned by Akira's power, he immediately became anxious seeing Sengoku and the three preparing to attack Akira at the same time. He knew that no matter how strong Akira was, it was impossible for him to block the three's joint attack, and it was still the kind where they were going all out. If it were him, he would also need to temporarily avoid the brunt.
"Don't even think about it!"
Whitebeard roared, but suddenly a lightning bolt fell from the sky, hitting him directly. His expression changed, and he swung the great naginata, the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit erupting, shattering the lightning.
"What exactly is going on with this kid? His attacks don't even distinguish between friend and foe?"
Whitebeard was indeed very depressed in his heart, because the situation just now wasn't the first time it had happened. He had been attacked by lightning several times. However, he had also discovered that this wasn't Akira's intention. It was because he was unable to control it. But this kind of situation made it impossible for him to get close to Akira. He was originally a distance away from Akira, and there was also lightning blocking his footsteps. Moreover, Sengoku and the three were attacking at close range, so he had no way to stop them at all.
"Akira, be careful!"
Unable to stop them, Whitebeard couldn't just watch Akira being attacked, so he shouted loudly at Akira in the air, reminding him.
