Chapter 88 - Chapter 88 The End of the Deserter King

"Excellent! You actually shattered the armor sealing my power with one punch! This way, I can fight at full strength too!"

Just as Lott was wondering if Luffy was also watching the stream, Boros's unbearably excited and cold voice came from across the sea.

The moment his words reached everyone's ears, a blue flash arrived in an instant.

Those like Nagato and Obito, who had barely managed to track Boros's trajectory with their Rinnegan and Mangekyo Sharingan before, could no longer do so this time.

They only heard a deafening explosive roar that seemed to crush the air.

In the eyes of stronger fighters like Aizen and Yamamoto, they saw Boros, his body radiating blue lightning, instantly rush back above Lott, his fist gathering energy and lightning, smashing down.

The air was compressed by the extreme force, even creating a vacuum.

This time, Wano Country was done for!

In the eyes of the live stream audience-

The massive, seemingly endless island of Wano now crumbled and sank into the deep sea like building blocks.

Endless smoke rose, obscuring the situation inside.

"Roar-"

At that moment, a dragon's roar sounded.

Kaido, transformed into his Azure Dragon Form, flew out of the smoke.

Under normal circumstances, most would find this dragon imposing.

But now, they could only feel pity for him.

Especially with those two as a comparison.

Not to mention the utterly wretched expression on the Azure Dragon Kaido's face at this moment.

Kaido quickly created flame clouds to catch his subordinates who were about to fall into the sea.

Kaido treated his capable, trusted subordinates quite well.

Then, lightning mixed with a storm split the air, dispersing the smoke.

Everyone finally got a clear look at the situation of the two.

Boros's already solid muscles had now swollen as if pumped full of air, his right fist smashing down in an uppercut motion.

And this punch landed on Lott's left shoulder.

"Limiter? Heh..." Lott spoke slowly, his eyes glancing imperceptibly at the golden necklace around his neck.

"How is this possible!?"

The three top fighters of the Dark Matter Pirates, who had been very confident in their captain, were now dumbfounded.

'Boros-sama had already released his restrictions.'

'How could he still not break Lott's defense?'

Due to the extreme shock, the half-eaten head of Sabo in Groribas's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Dealing coup de grâce damage to Luffy and Ace.

The next instant, Lott's body shook slightly.

The resulting shockwave sent Boros flying back over ten meters.

"Miku, Hancock, you two wait here for me... Oh, no. Hancock, you go to Mary Geoise. Have Kaido use his clouds to take you there," Lott said to the two, remembering something.

Hancock looked at Lott in surprise.

Lott smiled faintly. "Whatever you have to say, say it later. For now, go do what you want to do."

"Boros, this place is too small. I know a good spot," Lott then said, flying off towards the other side of the sea.

"Perfect!"

Boros, sent flying, roared, his body erupting with thunderous power.

He closely followed Lott.

The two flew over the sea, the power they displayed now beyond the perception of ninety-nine percent of the viewers across the universe.

They could only see two pillars of light streaking across the ocean surface, the air crackling with explosive sounds.

Then, holes were punched through the clouds one after another.

And the sea was dented with one bottomless pit after another.

"How... are they fighting?"

At Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Sengoku, watching the live stream, wore an expression similar to Mr. Satan's during the Cell Games.

He c-couldn't see it!

Garp, the pinnacle of Marine's close-quarters combat, also gritted his teeth.

He could only barely move his eyeballs to follow the trajectories of the two.

But if he were to join the fight...

Garp felt he'd probably get hit hundreds of times before he could even make a fist.

"Um... Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Garp-san."

At that moment, the [Deserter King] Koby spoke up.

"Recruit, don't interrupt!" Akainu said displeased.

He looked down the most on these connections-hires.

"M-My apologies... Admiral Akainu... It's just that... look at the direction they're flying... isn't it towards us?" Koby swallowed but mustered the courage to voice his thought.

Koby's words is like a wake-up call to them, and they finally noticed it too!

The direction Lott and Boros were flying... seemed to be straight towards Marine Headquarters!

'C-Could it be that the 'good spot' Lott mentioned earlier... was Marineford!?'

"Notify all troops immediately!" Sengoku stood up abruptly from his seat.

"Fleet Admiral, are we engaging?" Someone asked.

Sengoku nearly felt like kicking him.

'Engage my ass!'

'Are you blind? Can't you see the power gap?'

"Order all troops and their families to evacuate Marineford immediately! All warships, prepare for immediate departure!"

Under Sengoku's command, tens of thousands of people at Marineford quickly gathered at the execution platform bay, preparing to board warships and temporarily evacuate Marineford.

"Th-They're coming... They're really coming... Once they arrive, w-we will definitely die..."

Seeing the two figures in the live stream getting closer and closer to Marineford, the Deserter King felt immense panic welling up inside.

After a moment of internal struggle, he turned and ran in the opposite direction.

Helmeppo saw this and hurriedly chased after Koby.

"Wait! Koby! Where are you going? We need to get on a ship to evacuate!"

"I-I'm going to Mary Geoise! It's safer there!"

The number of warships was limited. Soldiers' families had to board first, followed by top fighters like Admirals and Vice Admirals.

As a mere Petty Officer First Class, he definitely wouldn't get a spot.

The Deserter King felt he should run towards Mary Geoise at a time like this.

After all, the guards had probably run off too, and no one was managing things.

"Makes sense! Take me with you!" Helmeppo couldn't help but give Koby a mental thumbs-up.

His buddy might be cowardly, but his brain worked well in crucial moments.

However, right at that moment...

"Lott! Take this! Meteor Energy Blast!!!"

Boros's excited shout reverberated over Marineford.

For a moment, whether it was the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and families at the bay-

Or the Deserter King and Helmeppo running in the opposite direction towards Mary Geoise via the land route-

Everyone instinctively looked up at the sky.

'Th-That was too fast!'

'They got here from Wano in just a few minutes?!'

Well, if Lott knew what they thought, he would say that's actually slow. After all, Gotenks could circle the Earth several times in a minute.

The moment everyone looked up, Boros spread his body into a [X] shape.

An energy blast over five meters in diameter, shimmering with destructive power, shot skyward.

"Hmm?"

Lott, who had intended to meet it head-on, noticed the pink-haired figure below and behind him.

The corner of his mouth curled into a mischievous grin.

The next instant, he backhanded the side of Boros's incoming energy blast with the back of his hand.

Boros's Meteor Energy Blast was forcibly diverted by a sharp 90-degree turn.

It headed straight down towards the main road behind Marineford leading to Mary Geoise.

Seeing the rapidly enlarging beam of destruction, the Deserter King screamed: "NO!!!"
