"Sakazuki!" The name echoed through the battlefield, a chorus of disbelief and awe.
The students, new arrivals to the scene, lined the perimeter, their eyes wide with shock as they watched the spectacle unfold before them.
Sakazuki, the man who had become magma, stood as a monolith amidst the chaos.
His body, a beacon of molten fury, was under relentless assault. Yet, his attacker was a blur, a phantom of speed and power that left only the aftermath of its strikes visible. Each blow sent a spray of magma splattering to the ground, a testament to the ferocity of the unseen assailant.
"Who is he fighting with?!" Doberman's voice cut through the air, a mixture of astonishment and fear.
The elite students of the camp, Sakazuki and Borsalino, were considered untouchable, their power and prowess unmatched. The only one who dared challenge them was Zed, a testament to their invincibility.
Their power stemmed from their Logia-Type devil fruit abilities, making them nearly invincible within the camp.
The only known counter was Haki, a skill yet to be mastered by the students. Yet, here was someone, an unknown entity, pressing down on Sakazuki, beating him into submission
The students could only watch, their minds racing as they tried to decipher the identity of the lightning-wrapped figure. His fighting style was unfamiliar, his movements a blur of speed and power.
They could only guess that he was a devil fruit user, and an incredibly powerful one at that.
"Who is that?! Sakazuki is completely suppressed by the opponent! He can't even fight back." Jonathan's voice was filled with shock. He had known Sakazuki for two years, and this was the first time he had seen him in such a state.
As they pondered the identity of the lightning-wrapped figure, a thunderous explosion echoed through the battlefield.
"Rumble!! Boom!!"
A surge of lightning erupted into the sky, coalescing into a massive sphere of crackling energy.
Sakazuki, given a moment's respite, gasped for breath. He was no stranger to battles of speed, having sparred countless times with Borsalino, a speed demon whose devil fruit granted him the speed of light.
Yet, he was unprepared for the terrifying speed of this new opponent. The lightning-fast strikes were as swift as light, yet far more unpredictable, changing direction with a flexibility that light could not match.
Sensing the impending danger from the massive lightning sphere, Sakazuki acted instantly.
"Great Eruption!"
He thrust his right arm skyward, and a torrent of magma erupted from his body, shooting towards the sky like a fiery cannon.
The sudden release of heat sent a wave of scorching air towards the students, causing them to shield their faces.
"Skyfall!"
The lightning-wrapped figure, Brontes, roared. His voice was a thunderclap, a declaration of war that echoed across the battlefield.
His figure blurred, disappearing into the sphere of lightning. The sphere pulsed, growing brighter and larger, a ticking time bomb of raw, elemental power.
The students watched in awe, their hearts pounding in their chests.
In an instant, the lightning sphere detonated.
"Rumble!! Boom!"
The sphere morphed, expanding at an alarming rate, transforming into a colossal lightning mirror spanning two kilometers square.
"Zizizi!!! Rumble!!!"
From this mirror, a barrage of lightning bolts rained down, targeting Sakazuki below.
"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!"
Magma fists clashed with lightning bolts, creating a cataclysmic spectacle of raw power.
The heat generated was so intense that the coastal sand began to melt and crystallize, forming glass-like shards that shattered under the impact of the ongoing battle.
"Watch out!!" Momonga's warning came too late.
The heat wave had already reached the students, forcing them to shield themselves with their arms.
"D-Damn... I-I feel m-my body is b-burning!" Panic-stricken voices echoed as the students weathered the onslaught.
When the wave finally subsided, they found their clothes scratched by the crystallized sand, their bodies pushed back by the sheer force of the impact.
The students looked on in horror at the distant figures locked in combat. The fight had caused them harm even from such a distance, leaving many with minor injuries.
"Damn! Just who is Sakazuki fighting against?!" The question hung in the air, a testament to their disbelief.
Sakazuki, the undisputed champion of the elite camp, was being suppressed, beaten to a point where he couldn't fight back. This was a sight they had never imagined, and it shook them to their core.
The realization that Sakazuki's opponent wielded the power of lightning, likely another Logia devil fruit user, only added to their shock.
"The T-Third Logia-Type devil fruit user appeared on our camp."
Doberman's voice was filled with disbelief. Despite the blur of the battle, it was clear that Sakazuki's opponent was a fellow student.
The implications were staggering. If the World Government and the Marine found out, they would be beside themselves with excitement.
Logia-Type devil fruits were considered the pinnacle of power within the Devil Fruit system. While there were many formidable Paramecia-Type devil fruits, the Logia-Type was revered for its elemental nature.
These fruits granted their users the ability to control and manipulate a specific element, even allowing them to transform their bodies into that element to evade attacks, save for those imbued with Haki.
The power of the Logia system was undeniable. Magma, light, and now lightning - these were some of the most destructive forces in nature.
The emergence of a third Logia-Type user within their camp was a game-changer, a revelation that would undoubtedly send ripples through the world.
...
As the dust settled, two figures emerged on the beach. One was hunched over, the other standing tall.
"No way! It's him!!"
The students gasped in unison as they recognized the standing figure.
"H-How is that possible? S-Since when did he become a logia devil fruit user?!" Momonga and the others were in disbelief.
Brontes was a familiar face, known for his quiet demeanor and relentless training. He wasn't as flashy as Sakazuki or Borsalino, nor as sociable. His reputation was that of a silent workhorse, the youngest recruit in the camp at just twenty years old, with an appetite to match his ambition.
"The person who just fought with Sakazuki was Brontes, unbelievable!" A recruit murmured.
"Sakazuki actually lost?!" The sight of Sakazuki, half-kneeling on the ground, magma dripping from his body like sweat, was a shock to all.
"Damn!" Sakazuki's fist clenched, his body weary but his spirit unbroken.
"Infernal Dog!"
With a roar, Sakazuki's right hand morphed into a magma hound. He sprang from the ground, charging towards Brontes.
"50,000,000 Volt Thor's Spear!"
In response, Brontes raised his hand, a spear of lightning materializing in his palm.
"Zizizi!! Zizizi!!"
Blue arcs of electricity danced along the spear, crackling with raw power. With a firm grip, Brontes hurled the spear with all his might.
The onlookers could only see a white flash streaking towards Sakazuki, the speed too great for the naked eye to follow.
The clash of Lightning vs. Magma, a rare spectacle between Logia-Type devil fruit users, was unfolding before their eyes.
"Boom!!! Rumble!!!" The lightning spear collided with the magma hound, creating a cataclysmic explosion that echoed across the island.
A wave of blue lightning and dark red magma clashed, each trying to overpower the other.
After a few tense moments, both attacks dissipated, leaving only a pungent smell of sulfur hanging in the air.
The students watched in awe, their hearts pounding in their chests. This was a battle of titans, a clash of powers beyond their comprehension, and finally it came to an end.
