Chapter 576: Devil's Fire vs. Magma
Chapter 576: Devil's Fire vs. Magma
Luffy, Franky, and the others fought against the Vice Admirals just like the rest of the captains, and their battles were equally intense.
Jinbe faced off against Moria. With his strength, Moria probably wouldn’t last long against him.
As for the three pacifistas Ian brought, they were now facing off against the pacifistas from the Marines. Although they were outnumbered and the Marines had Bartholomew Kuma, who could use the Paw-Paw Fruit ability, Varua led the Dragon Hunters Pirate Crew’s Raideen and Zick in the rear, continuously providing support with Thunderous Cannon attacks.
There was still one more player left, Doflamingo. Ian originally thought Law would seek revenge against him, but when Ian’s gaze fell on him, he realized that Trafalgar Law was actually with his Heart Pirates, following closely behind Nana’s group.
He seemed to be protecting them, or more accurately, he was probably protecting Walnut!
Law actually had a deep connection with Ian’s Dragon Hunters Pirate Crew, all because of Walnut! When they were on the Sky Island, Law discovered that Walnut was a user of the Calm-Calm Devil Fruit, and his expression froze!
Apart from his parents and sister, Rosinante was the most important person in Law’s life, and Rosinante, back then, was a user of the Calm-Calm Devil Fruit!
Rosinante had been dead for many years, yet now Law saw someone with the same Devil Fruit ability, it’s easy to imagine how he felt.
Almost instantly upon learning about Walnut’s ability, he found his future direction. He wanted to protect Walnut, to protect this little girl who inherited Rosinante’s Devil Fruit ability.
Especially when Law learned from Ian that although she looked like a little girl, she was actually over twenty years old, Law couldn’t contain his feelings for Walnut. If his sister hadn’t died of the amber lead disease back then, she would be the same age as Walnut now!Having completely regarded Walnut as his sister, Law now didn’t even care about Doflamingo, who was not far away, just to protect her.
And what was Doflamingo doing? He was facing Sugar and Baby 5!

He seemed to be saying something to the two of them, while Sugar and Baby 5 stood trembling in place, looking terrified.
Although Sugar was one of Doflamingo’s subordinates, she was not initially a member of the Doflamingo family. She was brought back by Doflamingo only in recent years. She was only afraid of Doflamingo, without the sense of belonging to that family members, and that was why Ian decided to keep them both.
With a glance at the scene, Ian sighed. He knew Doflamingo was causing trouble…
Sure enough, once Uncle Fujitora sensed the situation there, his expression turned cold. In the midst of his battle with Kuzan, he suddenly changed direction and plunged his sword fiercely into the ground.
Invisible Haki soared into the sky, and a huge meteorite appeared in the sky, smashing down towards Doflamingo’s position at a rapid speed. At the same time, Fujitora unleashed a horizontal Gravity Blade, slicing through the air and flying between Sugar, Baby 5, and Doflamingo, directly separating the two sides!
Fujitora was furious. Sugar was someone he had personally brought back from Dressrosa. He liked children, and among their pirate group, he had the best relationship with both Sugar and Walnut, the two girls with the appearance of lolis. Now that Doflamingo dared to reappear in front of Sugar, making her and Baby 5 scared, Fujitora couldn’t hold back…
Chaos! The entire battlefield could only be described with one word: chaos. Various powerful attack techniques kept appearing in the sky: lightning, magma, frost, and now such a large meteorite crashing down. Watching the live broadcast, people felt as if doomsday had arrived, and even some fragile hearts were on the verge of mental collapse.
How did the war to exterminate the Whitebeard Pirates by the Marines evolve into this!?
Every moment, Marines or pirates fell in battle. The war had reached a stage where it was beyond description.
Taking in the situation on the battlefield, Ian realized he had to do something.
Why did he intervene in this war? It wasn’t to help the Whitebeard Pirates win against the Marines, but to stop the war itself!
In essence, Ian’s goal was the same as Red-Haired Shanks’s!
Stopping this war and saving the Whitebeard Pirates is his goal. As for defeating the Marines… heh, can the Marines be easily defeated through just one battle?
When he realized that even with the lineup of the Dragon Hunter Pirate group, he couldn’t dispel the advance of the Marines’ attack, Ian understood that since this war began with attacking the Whitebeard, only the Whitebeard could end it…
At this moment, Garp went and picked up a huge meteor hammer from the battlefield and swung it with his immense strength, continuously smashing towards Ian.
During his confrontation with Garp, Ian didn’t retaliate, which displeased Garp. So, while swinging, Garp shouted at Ian, “You punk! Are you looking down on this old man!?”
With a whoosh, Garp hurled the meteor hammer, hurtling it towards Ian.
However, this time, Ian didn’t dodge at all. Instead, he directly extended his palm towards the incoming meteor hammer.
Crack! A slight cracking sound echoed. When Garp’s meteor hammer reached in front of Ian, it seemed to break something, and the next moment, that meteor hammer unexpectedly flew back uncontrollably towards Garp!
Ian retaliated, and right from the start, he used the rebound ability of Orochi “Rolling and Redirecting”. Garp hadn’t anticipated this situation at all. Caught off guard, he was hit by the rebounding meteor hammer on his chin and staggered backward, falling to the ground!
Well, for Garp, this wasn’t a big deal, but Ian’s figure instantly appeared next to him. The blade of his Senbonzakura was placed on Garp’s neck, stopping his attempt to get up. Ian said, “Old man, I’m sorry! You better rest for a while. I assure you, Ace and Luffy will be fine!”
After saying that, regardless of what Garp thought, Ian dashed away.
Garp didn’t get up again but lay down on the ground, looking somewhat dazed, not knowing what he was thinking.
Meanwhile, after leaving, Ian appeared in the place where Marco and Akainu were fighting. At this moment, Marco was pressing Akainu closely, while Akainu swung his magma arms to fend him off. Suddenly, Ian appeared flying, delivering a side kick directly to Akainu’s face!
Boom! Under the immense force, Akainu was kicked flying, like a cannonball smashing into the ice layer opposite!
“I… Ian!” Marco gasped, somewhat dazed, and asked, “How did you come here!?”
Marco could spar with Akainu, an admiral of the Marines, but that didn’t mean he could defeat him. As time passed, Marco’s stamina consumption would definitely exceed that of Akainu’s. In other words, if the battle continued like this, Marco might also be defeated.
However, before Ian could speak, Akainu roared and jumped out of the ice layer. Ian’s kick was not only powerful but also directly attacked Akainu’s main body with Haki, making him spit out blood. So as soon as he appeared, Akainu immediately launched a massive fire fist towards Ian!
With a huge lava fist, the heat capable of instantly shattering and evaporating massive icebergs, its power was quite terrifying.
But Ian didn’t dodge or evade. The bells on his wrist jingled, and two Black Dragon Waves intertwined and instantly shot out, swooping towards Akainu’s enormous magma fist in a double helix posture!
During the fight with Garp, Ian didn’t retaliate. In fact, his real intention was to fill his Nen. His Nen recovery speed is quite fast now. Grandmaster-level Nen cultivation was no joke. In just a short time, his Nen was almost full again. With his current state, even without Enel’s charging, he still had the strength to sustain high-intensity combat for a while.
Boom! At first contact, there was a massive energy shock. At the moment when Akainu’s magma hit the Black Dragon, it melted away!
Ian’s Black Dragon Wave had a higher heat than Akainu’s magma. While magma’s temperature might be able to melt stone into a liquid, Ian’s Black Flames of the Demon world could directly evaporate rock. They were simply not on the same level!
Moreover, this time, Ian released not just one but two Black Dragon Waves. So, to the incredulous eyes of everyone present, Ian’s Black Dragon Waves directly engulfed Akainu’s massive Dai Funka, then relentlessly flew towards Akainu.
“Damn it!” Akainu encountered this situation for the first time. Even Aokiji’s frost, which he could nullify with his magma, but this caught him off guard. Now, he was taken aback by Ian’s Black Dragon Waves!
Only at this moment did he understand why Aokiji, who pursued him during the Mariejois incident, returned injured. Ian’s flames were indeed extraordinary!
“The threat must be eliminated!” Akainu reacted quickly again and unleashed another massive volcanic eruption, but this time, he imbued his magma fist with powerful Armament Haki.
The energy of the incoming Black Dragon Waves had already been somewhat depleted. This time, under Akainu’s attack, it was finally neutralized!
However, while Akainu was focused on dealing with the Black Dragon Waves, Ian had already asked Marco the question he wanted to ask.
“Where exactly is Oyaji on the island?”
