**Chapter 154: One Punch at a Time, Akainu’s Counterattack!**
Fang Ye launched his attack mercilessly, leaping high into the air and delivering a powerful, charged punch.
Akainu’s face twisted with fear as he saw the devastating punch descending from above. Without hesitation, he turned to flee.
His abdomen still bore a deep wound inflicted by Whitebeard’s blade, continuously bleeding.
Exhausted from his earlier battle with Whitebeard, Akainu had not yet recovered his strength.
Gritting his teeth, he glanced at Fang Ye with a mix of rage and trepidation.
In their previous clashes, Fang Ye had thwarted his attempts to land fatal blows on Whitebeard multiple times.
Aside from the initial damage from his sneak attack, Akainu had contributed little else.
Using the last of his strength, Akainu unleashed a magma-filled punch to melt the ground in front of him, then leaped into the molten pathway he created.
“You can’t escape!”
Fang Ye chose not to follow him into the narrow passage; it would be too dangerous if Akainu launched an ambush in such close quarters.
Standing above ground, Fang Ye closed his eyes, focusing on the vibrations and heat radiating from below to track Akainu’s position.
His murderous intent was palpable, keeping everyone around at bay.
Suddenly, Fang Ye’s eyes shot open. He had pinpointed Akainu’s location.
With a roar, he unleashed a thunderous punch at the ground.
**Boom!**
The already weakened terrain collapsed under Fang Ye’s immense force, exposing Akainu beneath.
The magma-wielding admiral had no choice but to emerge, his face contorted in fury and desperation.
“Hellhound!”
Akainu roared, blood spraying from his mouth as he unleashed his most powerful attack.
But Fang Ye’s heightened danger sense warned him just in time.
He shifted his body to the side, narrowly dodging the blazing punch.
“You scum! I swear I’ll kill you!” Akainu snarled, his voice seething with hatred.
Suddenly, his magma body split into four separate globs, shooting off in different directions.
“Don’t let him escape!”
Marco, who had been battling Aokiji, noticed the commotion and immediately broke away.
“Split up and search!” Fang Ye commanded.
Marco nodded and sped off in the opposite direction.
—
Fang Ye moved at full speed, sprinting across the battlefield with the grace and agility of a low-flying missile.
Knocking aside several Navy soldiers, he quickly caught up to one of the magma clusters.
Without hesitation, he launched a devastating punch.
**Boom!**
The magma burst apart, scattering in all directions.
But as Fang Ye observed the scattered remains, he shook his head grimly.
“Not this one.”
He wasted no time and darted toward the next magma cluster.
Suddenly, a hulking figure stepped in his path, shouting:
“Stop right there!”
The man was a vice admiral with rippling muscles, a wild ponytail, and a blood-stained steel blade in his hands.
“You cowardly scum, attacking Admiral Akainu! If you want to pass, you’ll have to go through me!”
The vice admiral’s confidence was evident in his stance, his physique a testament to his immense strength.
He believed he could at least stall Fang Ye, giving Akainu more time to recover.
But Fang Ye’s expression remained icy as he glared at the obstruction.
“I don’t have time for this nonsense!”
“Enough talk!” The vice admiral lunged, his blade aimed directly at Fang Ye’s throat—a lethal opening move.
Fang Ye’s danger sense barely registered the attack, dismissing it as negligible.
“You’re courting death!”
With a shout, Fang Ye punched straight at the incoming blade.
**Clang!**
The impact shattered the steel blade into fragments.
Before the vice admiral could react, Fang Ye’s fist struck his chest.
**Boom!**
The man’s broad torso crumpled like paper under the force of the blow.
Blood and shattered organs sprayed outward as his heart was obliterated.
The vice admiral collapsed lifelessly onto the ground, his body limp and motionless.
—
Wiping his hand clean, Fang Ye continued his pursuit.
Meanwhile, Marco obliterated another magma cluster, only to discover it was another decoy.
As he turned to rejoin the chase, a powerful vice admiral intercepted him, engaging him in a grueling fight.
“Get out of my way!” Marco growled, launching a vicious kick that sent his opponent flying.
The vice admiral coughed up blood but managed to stand, smirking through the pain.
“I won’t let you pass…not while I’m still breathing.”
Though Marco admired the man’s tenacity, he had no room for mercy in this war.
“You’re a brave man,” Marco said coldly, his body radiating azure flames.
“But in war, sparing the enemy is cruelty to oneself.”
With a sharp strike, Marco’s blazing talons pierced through the vice admiral’s chest, ending his resistance.
—
As Marco resumed his chase, he called out to Fang Ye:
“Be careful! Akainu’s near you!”
Fang Ye responded with a curt nod, his focus locked on the speeding magma cluster ahead.
“Serious Punch!”
With a roar, Fang Ye unleashed a punch powerful enough to obliterate a small mountain.
“You brat, not so fast!”
Akainu’s voice bellowed from the magma, and a massive molten fist emerged to meet Fang Ye’s blow head-on.
**Boom!**
The impact sent shockwaves rippling across the battlefield.
Despite Akainu’s injuries, his molten fist clashed evenly with Fang Ye’s punch—a testament to both warriors’ strength.
Marco, now within sight, shouted encouragement:
“Hold on! I’m coming!”
Fang Ye didn’t wait. His left fist charged with energy and struck again.
**Boom!**
The combined force of Fang Ye’s punches sent Akainu flying, his molten body scattering as it struck the ground.
As the magma cooled, Akainu’s battered form became visible.
Blood spilled from his mouth as he lay sprawled on the ground, his body trembling with pain.
The internal injuries from Whitebeard’s strike had worsened, leaving him gravely weakened.
Marco swooped in, aiming for the killing blow.
“Die, Akainu! Phoenix Talons!”
Sensing the impending attack, Akainu rolled to the side, narrowly evading Marco’s fiery strike.
Struggling to his feet, Akainu glared at the two with cold fury.
“Today…both of you will die!”
