Asa stepped back. Surrounded and under siege by many enemies, he poured his full focus into the battle, leaving no room to care about what was happening around him.
"Brother, I've got you!" came Kizaru's lewd voice from behind, followed by the feeling of a hand pressing down on Asa's shoulder.
Kizaru, forgetting his previous lesson, once again attempted to restrain Asa to create openings for the others. Only his speed could keep up with Asa—and right now, Asa couldn't spare the attention to avoid him.
"It's you again, you annoying monkey!!"
The blue light in Asa's dark eyes flared violently. The lightning covering his body surged with intensity. In an instant, the electrons within the barrier became erratic, and the electric field density reached its peak.
"Twenty Million Volts: Thor!!!"
BOOM!!
A massive electric current surged, enveloping Asa. In the next moment, a five- to six-meter tall thunder giant formed from his body. A colossal fist of lightning slammed back toward Kizaru.
"Take him down!!" Sengoku roared as he teleported forward. Garp and the recovering Zephyr followed immediately, charging in from three directions with unstoppable force.
"Frozen Time Capsule!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru and the immobile Aokiji also launched their attacks, exploiting the opening behind the three powerhouses to close in and surround Asa.
The freezing cold air surged in from the front. This cold current could significantly limit mobility and was intended to freeze Asa's movements.
"High Voltage Thermal Surge!!"
Asa growled, and an intense wave of heat erupted from the thunder giant's body, instantly counteracting the cold. The ice on the ground melted away, and even the roots of the Yarukiman Mangrove trees began to scorch and smoke.
The cold and heat canceled each other out. With the freeze averted, Asa braced himself for the onslaught from Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr. An electromagnetic field radiated from his massive Thunder God form, coating his entire body.
"Hahahahahaha!!" Asa laughed wildly. He had long given up on escape—there was nowhere left to run. If this was to be his end, then he would go out in a blaze of battle.
Sengoku's Golden Buddha form was the first to arrive. White light rippled from his massive golden body, building into a compressed shockwave.
Buzz!!
He raised both fists, condensing a shockwave with such force that even the air bent under pressure. Rings of ripples pulsed outward, the energy compressed into a ball the size of a human head, barreling straight toward Asa.
BOOM!!
Asa's double-layered Thunder God's Fist clashed with the oncoming shockwave.
Before the result could be seen, Garp's Iron Fist struck, smashing down on Asa's thunder-crafted head.
The sonic boom that followed triggered a survival alarm in Asa's instincts—he had faced this terrifying power before.
Even before he could react, Zephyr had already appeared on his right, his blackened Haki-covered fist targeting Asa's shoulder.
There was nowhere to run. No way to dodge.
Asa clenched his teeth, preparing to tank Zephyr's hit. He turned his body, raising one leg to meet Garp's punch head-on.
BOOM!!!
Miraculously, Asa managed to barely withstand Sengoku's shockwave and Garp's monstrous blow. But Zephyr's punch launched him dozens of meters back, slamming him into the indestructible barrier.
BOOM!!
The impact rattled Asa's entire body. He didn't overestimate his durability—he had simply underestimated Zephyr's raw power.
Cough!
After spitting out blood, the six-meter-tall Thunder God slowly rose again. Before he could steady himself, Sengoku's next shockwave struck.
BOOM!!
In a rush, Asa raised his arm to block. The blow smashed into him, sending his towering form crashing back against the barrier.
They weren't giving him a second to breathe. Waves of attacks rained down like a storm.
Asa struggled to hold off the three top-tier fighters. But the others—Tsuru, Aokiji, and Kizaru—weren't just standing around.
While Asa was airborne, Aokiji and Kizaru took position behind and ahead of him, both raising their arms. Cold frost and golden light surged forth.
Though Kizaru's lasers couldn't seriously injure Asa, they could still force him to divert attention and exhaust his energy directing the beams away.
Garp grinned wildly. His Justice coat billowed in the powerful wind. His right arm, bare and wrapped in pitch-black Armament Haki, gleamed like diamond.
Zephyr narrowed his eyes behind his sunglasses and charged from the left.
Sengoku readied another shockwave from the front.
Vice Admiral Tsuru blocked any possible retreat.
Attacks came crashing in from every direction—unrelenting, overwhelming.
Asa could neither dodge nor hide. The immense pressure nearly crushed him. In that instant, the iron-sand belt around his waist was ripped free and converted into coin-sized black iron beads.
Only tens or hundreds of meters away…
Silently, he laid out a magnetic launch track. The propulsion was maxed out.
BOOM!!!
"Super Electromagnetic Cannon!!"
The launched iron bead accelerated to extreme speeds in an instant, spinning with electric force, turning the projectile into what looked like a streak of blue laser.
The atmosphere itself was blown away by the supersonic iron ball. Powerful winds surged, ice cracked and shattered beneath it...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Guh!!" Zephyr's black fist collided with the cannon blast. The impact halted his charge, and he groaned in pain. His arm, scorched and cracked, smoked from the burn.
He had been farthest from Asa—so the electromagnetic cannon hit with maximum force, and its destructive power was monstrous.
Garp and Sengoku, being much closer, were only pushed back dozens of meters. The cannon didn't reach full momentum at that range, but their hands were bloodied and scraped raw.
Vice Admiral Tsuru, composed as always, had wisely not attacked. Using her Observation Haki, she predicted the launch trajectory and calmly sidestepped the devastating blow.
Aokiji and Kizaru weren't as lucky. Blasted directly into the barrier wall, both were gravely wounded and lost combat capability on the spot.
The five super electromagnetic cannons shattered the enemy's offensive momentum.
Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr were repelled. Aokiji and Kizaru were incapacitated from the direct hits.
The energy drain from this hasty, all-out counterattack was immense. The lightning around the towering Thunder God began to flicker and waver, as if it would vanish at any moment.
Asa's mind was weary, his stamina draining faster than his body could replenish.
Seeing this, Sengoku and Garp exchanged glances—both bloodied, yet undeterred. Without hesitation, they circled around once more—left and right—closing in.
