A second sun seemed to appear in the sky, as blinding golden light spilled across the heavens.

Laser-like golden beams poured down like rain, and from a distance, it looked as though the entire sky had turned gold. There were so many flashes of light, it was impossible to count them.

The attack range was outrageous—nearly a cleansing sweep that enveloped everything around the auction house.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Watching the apocalyptic destruction in the distance, Hina and Akainu were dumbfounded.

"What... what happened to Naruto Uzumaki? Why is he so furious? I don't think I've ever seen him this angry before..."

"Indeed... And to think, I never realized how strong Kizaru has become until now..."

Among the three Marine Admirals, due to his usual carefree attitude, Kizaru had the lowest sense of presence. Most people in the Navy Headquarters—and across the seas—believed him to be the weakest of the three.

Few had ever seen Kizaru fight seriously.

And now that they had, they were stunned—this lazy slacker wasn't weak at all.

"Tsk tsk..." Naruto couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Kizaru-ossan, it was just one fruit I fed you. Do you really have to be this angry?"

Hearing that, Kizaru nearly exploded from rage.

Was it really just "a fruit"!?

He'd almost been poisoned to death!

He hadn't felt death loom so closely since he was a child.

"Shua shua shua..."

Countless golden beams sparkled. Then, to everyone's shock, each beam transformed into a clone of Kizaru.

"Cloning technique!? No... an illusion caused by light refraction..."

Naruto's eyes sharpened.

His own figure transformed into a golden flash as well, and using the Flying Thunder God kunai he had previously scattered, he burst forth with a speed that rivaled Kizaru's.

Two streaks of light clashed again mid-air.

Aokiji and Akainu's expressions grew even more grim.

"That guy's speed... is on par with Kizaru's light? He's becoming more and more dangerous..."

The two exchanged glances and rushed forward, one cloaked in ice, the other in magma.

"Ice Age!"

"Great Eruption!"

Two elemental attacks, both imbued with Busoshoku Haki, blasted toward Naruto without hesitation.

Naruto only sneered and disappeared in a flash of golden light, reappearing a hundred meters away.

Kizaru quickly warned them: "Don't let your guard down! He's not using speed. That's spatial jutsu!"

If this were just a matter of speed, he would've already caught Naruto—but Naruto was using something even faster than light: teleportation.

"Space!?"

Aokiji and Akainu's pupils contracted.

No wonder he felt faster than Kizaru.

Compared to speed, space-time abilities were on an entirely different level.

"Destroy those special weapons! He's teleporting using those!" Kizaru shouted, pointing at the Flying Thunder God kunai scattered on the ground.

Aokiji and Akainu didn't hesitate. They unleashed their full Devil Fruit powers, their hands slamming onto the ground.

Instantly, the terrain around them transformed at visible speed.

On one side: a freezing white wasteland.

On the other: a molten sea of magma.

Cold and heat spread in an elliptical formation, consuming everything—either freezing it or melting it into oblivion.

Many of Naruto's Flying Thunder God kunai were destroyed in the process.

But Naruto wasn't going to sit back.

With a smirk, he flung out dozens more kunai and instantly appeared before the two Admirals.

"What!?"

Both Aokiji and Akainu were stunned—he dared approach them?

The blond youth formed hand seals, his bright smile dazzling.

"Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu!" (Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique)

BOOM!!!

A vast torrent of water poured from Naruto's mouth like a waterfall, like a tsunami, crashing toward the Admirals.

Aokiji and Akainu felt a chill down their spines.

As Devil Fruit users, if they were submerged in seawater, they would be rendered completely powerless.

"Ice Time Capsule!"

Without hesitation, Aokiji extended his hand and conjured razor-sharp ice to pierce the incoming water.

As the ice stabbed into the torrent, the water froze instantly, spreading frigid white ice along the stream's origin.

Akainu took the chance to punch forward, his magma surging like a tide of destruction, aiming straight for Naruto's heart.

Naruto smiled brightly in response:

"Kongō Fūsoku!" (Adamantine Sealing Chains)

Four golden chains burst from his back like shining dragons, piercing straight into the searing magma.

Even against that intense heat, the chains not only endured—they penetrated it.

Aokiji and Akainu's expressions turned serious.

They coated their fists in Busoshoku Haki and punched at the chains.

"No! His chains have the same effect as Seastone!"

Kizaru cried out from midair.

Hearing this, both Admirals gasped and quickly withdrew their fists to avoid being restrained by the golden chains.

But in that very instant, Naruto's hands were already charged with two Fūton: Rasenshuriken (Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken), each one also imbued with Haki.

He slammed them directly into the faces of the two Admirals.

CRACK!!!

Both let out muffled groans, unable to block the attack. They were blasted backward, smashing into the distant Yarukiman Mangroves.

"That bastard..."

Akainu emerged from the tree trunk, seething.

"What terrifying power..."

Aokiji, stunned, stared at his arm—he could already feel something was wrong.

"He destroyed the cells in my body!?"

Both men now stared at Naruto, more serious than ever. He was clearly far stronger than he had been a decade ago.

"So damn hard to fight..."

Naruto, just like the Admirals, was also frustrated.

"No matter what I throw at them, it's like I can't break through..."

Their mastery over Busoshoku Haki had reached the highest realm—like indestructible turtle shells.

Not only that, but their stamina was insane, and their regeneration was absurdly fast.

"If this drags on, it'll take at least three days and nights to decide a winner. I don't have enough chakra for that..."

The thought flashed through his mind, and Naruto quickly made a decision.

He bit down on his thumbs and slammed his hands onto the ground.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Sanbi Isobu!" (Summoning Technique: Three-Tails Isobu)

Boom!!! White smoke exploded as a terrifying creature, costing Naruto one-tenth of his chakra, appeared in the Pirate World.

Sanbi Isobu roared as soon as it materialized, shaking the very sky.

"ROAR!!!"
