Boom! — The blade Ace sliced through the head of the magma dog, but a new one instantly formed from the molten lava and clamped onto its opponent.
Fighting against fire capable of melting flesh, Sal remained calm, his body fully enveloped in dark Armament Haki. This skill required an enormous amount of Armament Haki, affordable only to those who had reached its peak; otherwise, it would quickly deplete.
The dark red blade tore through the dog's head once more, and Sal pierced the dispersing magma as he moved forward, even as it enveloped his body. Even through the Armament Haki, Trello felt unbearable heat.
He broke through the magma curtain and stood before Akainu. At that moment of surprise, Sal's blade had already been plunged into his body. Unfortunately, the magma dripping from the wound signaled that Akainu had activated Elementalization just in time.
Sal, unsuccessful, smiled strangely and grabbed Akainu by the arms.
— Akainu, I've caught you.
Gathering all his willpower, he literally yanked Akainu's arm from his elemental form, returning it to its physical state.
Seeing the result, Sal shouted:
— Ivankov is already...
Sal's shout gave Akainu a bad premonition, but before he could resist, Ivankov's voice reached his ears. He felt a sudden burning pain on his skin.
— He-he, female hormones.
Akainu, aware of Ivankov's trickery, was furious. He wasn't afraid of the other methods of the "vile king," but against this trick, he was powerless.
Thinking of this, Akainu instantly broke free from Sel's grip, and a river of magma flowed from his body, flooding the surroundings like an erupting volcano. He successfully forced both of them to retreat.
Ivankov jumped back more than ten meters. Despite the unbearable pain in his fingers, he still spoke excitedly:
"Hip-hop... no, it must be Roger..."
Sal interrupted him:
"Just call me Sal. After all, now I am Sal."
"All right, Sal BOY, I injected Akainu with female hormones. You should tell him it was your idea. I don't want him hunting me down my whole life."
Sal shrugged, indicating everything was fine. It turned out that way, and whether Akainu believed it or not was none of his concern.
"Akainu, did you hear that too? It was my idea. If you want revenge, come for me. Leave Ivan…"
"Ivankov, I will tear you to pieces. Wherever you run, I will kill you."
Obviously, Akainu wasn't listening to what Sal was saying. At this moment, his face was fierce, and he was as restless as an active volcano ready to erupt. However, before Akainu could make a move, his body began to change, and he involuntarily stepped back a few feet.
"Damn it…"
As Akainu howled angrily, the manly, defined lines on his face gradually softened, and his short hair began to grow, slowly dropping his hat. The sturdy body, which supported his clothing, also started to shrink gradually as his skeleton transformed from three meters tall to two meters.
The formal suit, which had fitted him perfectly, became very loose due to the change in his body's shape, and only the proud, ample chest barely held the clothing in place.
In a moment, before him stood a middle-aged beauty with long black hair and a heroic, mature charm. She had straight, slender long legs and a seductive figure.
Most striking was the pair of beautiful, phoenix-like blue eyes, full of murderous intent, giving the impression of a poisonous rose covered in thorns.
"Cough-cough…"
Even though Sal expected this, Akainu's transformation still stunned him. He shuddered as he looked at Ivankov beside him. If this guy dared to inject him with female hormones, he would kill him ten times over. At the same time, he had no interest in the country governed by Ivankov. He originally planned to visit it to see how Sanji was living. But now it seems he's given up on that idea. The physical and psychological repulsion scares him, and he's afraid of killing this guy.
The transvestite King Ivankov and his Kingdom of transvestites are undoubtedly eternal enemies of normal men. Sanji, who is still in the Kingdom of transvestites, silently mourns for him for one second.
Of course, Ivankov noticed Sal's gaze and immediately accused him
— Sal, BOY, why are you staring? These are all your suggestions.
— I know, I just need some time to digest everything, ha-ha-ha…
While they were conversing, a lightning bolt struck Akainu from a clear sky. With bewildered eyes, she touched her chest with her hands. The strange sensation and touch convinced her that she had transformed into a woman.
All of this made her brain feel like a wire had snapped, and she charged at Ivankov, ignoring everything else. Compared to before, her slender arms turned into lava and swung a direct blow. If she kills Ivankov, maybe she will recover?
— Akainu, I won't let you succeed.
Sal smiled and stood in front of Ivankov. Sal's blade once again blocked the magma fist, but the power of this attack surprised him. He held the sword with one hand without a tremor, confidently deflecting the strike.
The strength of the opponent's fist was reduced by 20%. Considering Akainu's power, that's already quite a lot. Maybe she's even dropped to the level of an admiral, right?
Sal was amazed that the temperature of the magma became higher and its flow faster. Could the loss of Akainu's strength have enhanced her fruit's ability?
Without giving Sal time to think, Akainu let out a low growl from a queenly sister. Her beautiful face at that moment became very repulsive. Even though Sal blocked her, she kept staring at Ivankov. It was clear her hatred for him surpassed all limits.
"Roger, get out of here, I'm going to slice Ivankov to pieces!"
"That's not acceptable, little Akainu."
The word "little" instantly tore away Akainu's mask of pain, and the strength in her hands became even more fierce.
Facing an opponent with many shortcomings, Sal had no intention of indulging Akainu, even if she had turned into a beautiful middle-aged woman.
Why did Sal use such a dirty trick? His initial goal was simply to test whether Akainu's strength would weaken after becoming a woman. Now it's clear that the effect is not bad.
And now, Akainu is filled with hatred, allowing Sal to seize an important moment. He forcefully deflected Akainu's fist, and before she could recover, he struck her again with a blade emitting dark-red thunder.
The direction in which the dark-red energy of the sword sent Akainu happened to be the main battlefield behind. Part of the lava man's body fell near Sengoku, forming a lava pit.
The Admiral, who had taken off his shirt and exposed his muscular chest, had already returned from his Buddha state to human form.
Sengoku watched as Akainu, clearly feminine in appearance, was flung back, and his eyes became serious. The only freely fighting army was being held back by Roger. It seemed there was no hope of capturing Roger, so he would have to mobilize all forces to annihilate Blackbeard's pirates
