Chapter 353: A Single Punch
Chapter 353: A Single Punch
The warship continued its approach towards the shore.
Instead of heading towards the ship, Feng Ye strolled directly to the edge of the dock, his hands clasped behind his back as he gazed out at the vast ocean and the approaching vessel.
Robin followed, carrying a box, and looked towards the distant warship.
From their position, they could roughly make out some figures on the ship, and she spotted the stalwart figure of Fleet Admiral Sengoku standing at the forefront of the deck, her pupils narrowing slightly.
"That's..."
"A Marine Headquarters Admiral!"
The intimidating presence of a Marine Admiral was known throughout the vast seas. They represented the highest combat strength of the Marine Headquarters and were formidable powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the world!
Having identified the presence of an Admiral on the warship, Robin's expression grew tense as she turned to Feng Ye, her voice laced with urgency. "There's an Admiral on that ship! Aren't we going to flee?!"
"No need."
Feng Ye offered a faint smile. "In fact, I'm curious to witness firsthand the strength of those known as the Marine Headquarters' peak combatants."
Hearing Feng Ye's response, Robin's body stiffened slightly, her expression still tinged with anxiety. She was aware of Feng Ye's formidable power, having seen him defeat Kuzan, but the person on the opposing ship stood at the apex of the seas—a Marine Admiral!
Robin's gaze shifted anxiously towards the warship.
Just about then, on the opposing ship, Akainu, standing behind Sengoku, fixed his gaze on Feng Ye on the shore and let out a heavy hum.
"So, you intend to face us instead of running? Are you seeking a battle?"
"Arrogant criminal..."
As his words trailed off, a chilling glint flashed in Akainu's eyes, and with a stomp of his foot, he propelled himself into the air.
A terrifying surge of heat erupted from his body, and half of his physique instantly transformed into flowing lava. The scorching molten rock churned and morphed into a massive fist, hurtling towards the shore with tremendous force.
"Magma Punch!"
Akainu roared.
"Wait! Sakazuki!"
Upon seeing Akainu's abrupt action, Sengoku called out, intending to remind him to check for any civilians nearby to avoid collateral damage.
However, as Akainu had already made his move, Sengoku retracted his hand and chose not to forcibly stop him.
Sengoku's eyes narrowed as he fixed his gaze on Feng Ye, intrigued to witness the latter's capabilities. After all, Feng Ye had defeated Kuzan, and among the students of Zefa, Kuzan was one of the most exceptional, already standing out among the vice admirals.
Defeating Kuzan was a testament to Feng Ye's prowess.
Buzz! !
The colossal lava fist burst forth from midair, plummeting towards Feng Ye on the shore like a flaming meteorite, threatening to incinerate everything in its path and paint the sky itself red.
Sensing the overwhelming might and the searing heat that seemed capable of scorching the heavens, Robin, standing behind Feng Ye, couldn't suppress a trace of fear, and she fell to the ground.
Akainu was one of the vice admirals responsible for the destruction of her hometown!
This scene stirred up traumatic memories of her fearful past!
Confronted by the massive lava fist resembling a falling meteorite, Feng Ye remained impassive, his expression unchanged. With a casual lift of his left hand,
Buzz!!!
He moved too fast.
So fast that both Akainu and Sengoku could barely follow his motion, only perceiving the faint image of a fist being thrown through their Kenbunshoku Haki.
Swish!
With that single punch, the colossal lava fist that had blotted out the sky and sun froze in midair, then contorted and exploded from its center with a deafening blast.
Akainu had been blown to bits!
It was as if he had been struck by a colossal, air-condensed fist!
The massive lava orb, along with Akainu standing behind it, disintegrated into countless fragments of molten rock that rained down onto the sea.

(Continued)
Astonishment filled the air, and countless eyes widened in disbelief.
"Sakazuki!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the other vice admirals, rear admirals, and officers on the ship revealed expressions of shock, finding it hard to believe what they had just seen.
As one of the strongest Marine Headquarters admirals, Akainu was even known as a monster. They had never seen him lose to any criminal, let alone be defeated in a single blow, his technique and body blown to smithereens!
"How is this possible...?"
"Just a single punch..."
A rear admiral's forehead broke out in a cold sweat as he looked at Feng Ye with a mix of awe and disbelief.
Even though it was just one strike, Feng Ye had already displayed overwhelming power!
Such strength was definitely not that of an unknown figure in the vast seas, yet they had never heard of the name Feng Ye nor encountered such a person before!
"That guy..."
"Who is he?!"
The other officers were equally stunned.
A nearby Marine Headquarters admiral took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart as he spoke, "We have very little information about him at the moment. All we know is that he's a criminal who took in the Demon Child, Nico Robin. His name seems to be Feng Ye, but beyond that, we know nothing else, including his background and past."
"The only other piece of information we have is that Vice Admiral Kuzan lost to him!"
This statement caused the nearby Marines to exchange glances, unsure of what to make of this revelation.
Kuzan had lost to Feng Ye! Kuzan was one of the monsters among the Marine Headquarters admirals, just like Akainu, with strength that far surpassed the other vice admirals. And now, not only had Feng Ye effortlessly countered Akainu's attack, but he had also defeated Kuzan in the past!
There was no doubt that this was a terrifying record and an indication of formidable power. The person before them was undoubtedly a vicious presence comparable to the World Destroyer, Kaido of the Hundred Beasts!
On the shore, Feng Ye slowly retracted his fist, his expression indifferent as if he had just accomplished a trivial task. He remained unmoved, his gaze still fixed on the approaching warship, locking eyes with Fleet Admiral Sengoku standing at the forefront of the deck.
Sengoku stared at Feng Ye, his expression turning solemn. Feng Ye's previous strike against Akainu had made it clear that his strength was formidable, a force to be reckoned with. Even he himself had to approach this opponent with caution and not underestimate him.
Sengoku's heart grew heavy as he realized that a new and formidable adversary had emerged in these vast seas, and one who dared to harbor the Demon Child, no less...
"Open fire! Open fire!!!"
One of the Marine Headquarters admirals shouted, and the Marines, snapping out of their daze, quickly loaded and fired the cannons.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Countless cannonballs rained down from the five warships, bombarding the shore where Feng Ye stood.
At the same time, Akainu, who had been blown to pieces by Feng Ye's punch, reformed. The scattered lava that had splashed into the sea now converged and took shape once more, evaporating large amounts of seawater as it did so.
Akainu's gaze toward Feng Ye was no longer cold and indifferent; it now held a hint of shock. The force behind Feng Ye's punch had reminded him of the man who had destroyed the Rocks Pirates and chased the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, across the seas—Admiral Garp!
Could this man's strength be on par with Garp's?!
"No... It's impossible... His strength can't be that powerful..."
Akainu took a breath, and with a swift motion of his hands, he caused the lava to surge and erupt like a volcano, spewing countless lava bombs toward Feng Ye on the shore.
These lava bombs intertwined with the dense black cannonballs fired from the warships, as if intending to annihilate not just Feng Ye but the entire dock!
