In an instant, countless fish, octopuses, seahorses, sea snakes, and even a small number of Sea Kings surfaced from the ocean depths.

A myriad of sea creatures, both familiar and unknown, emerged in dense numbers, creating a chaotic scene above the water.

Aokiji stood at the port, sweat dripping from his brow as he watched the unfolding events.

The waves were growing even larger, their turbulence reaching unimaginable levels! The ice he had frozen repeatedly was shattered once more, consumed by the relentless sea.

The corner of Aokiji's mouth twitched in frustration. "What the hell is going on?! This makes it four times already!"

Indeed, Aokiji had used his Ice Age technique four times now. Ordinarily, a single use could freeze an entire sea for weeks. But this time, it seemed futile, as though his ice was being casually undone.

"Admiral, do you need to rest?! Perhaps drink some water?"

"No," Aokiji replied curtly. "If I stop using Ice Age, Marineford itself will be swallowed by these massive waves!"

Without further discussion, he leaped back into the air and unleashed another Ice Age at full power.

Once again, the frigid cold spread, freezing the turbulent sea into a solid, crystalline expanse. The frozen surface trapped countless fish within its icy grasp, visible through the translucent layers.

Meanwhile, in the deep sea, Roja gripped Ryūjin Jakka (Flowing Blade Like Fire), its power radiating unprecedented heat. The rising temperatures triggered by Roja's attack had even awakened dormant undersea volcanoes.

One by one, ten undersea volcanoes erupted with violent force. Magma churned and surged, painting the dark depths with a fiery red hue. The seabed itself convulsed as if under siege, cracking open into bottomless fissures. The underwater terrain collapsed, reshaping the ocean floor in a cataclysmic display of power.

The energy from these volcanic eruptions was absorbed entirely by Ryūjin Jakka, amplifying its strength even further.

Holding his sword aloft, Roja prepared for a decisive blow.

At that moment, the massive Sea Dragon, Yupemi , trembled in terror. It let out a desperate roar, "Stop! I surrender! I am willing to be your mount!"

Its voice, usually thunderous, now carried a trembling tone of fear.

There was no other choice for Yupemi . Roja's strength had shattered the Sea Dragon's long-standing arrogance. In its centuries of existence, it had never encountered a human capable of such overwhelming power. Even Shirahoshi, the Poseidon and controller of Sea Kings, could not subdue it. Yet Roja had forced it into submission.

"How many humans can battle a creature like me in the ocean?" Yupemi thought, despair washing over it.

Coupled with Roja's mastery of fire in the deep sea—a power that ignited underwater volcanoes—Yupemi 's defiance crumbled.

Hearing the Sea Dragon's surrender, Roja smirked. He hadn't expected Yupemi to yield so quickly. It saved him the trouble of continuing the fight.

Adjusting his swing mid-motion, Roja redirected his slash. Ryūjin Jakka traced a perfect arc through the water, releasing a wave of blazing energy that surged upwards.

On the surface, the frozen sea shattered under the force of the fiery eruption. The water bulged outward as if something immense was about to surface.

Under the stunned gaze of countless Marine soldiers stationed at Marineford, the bulge erupted with fiery force, sending flames bursting into the air from the deep sea.

The explosion was deafening, shaking the heavens and the ocean alike. The resulting winds created monstrous waves that swept across the sea.

Ships and Marine warships were lifted high into the air, only to be consumed by the inferno moments later.

Inside Marineford's highest office, Fleet Admiral Sengoku stood before a floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the apocalyptic scene in stunned silence.

"Flames...?! This can't be happening! What in the world is going on?!" Sengoku muttered, his voice tinged with disbelief.

He quickly barked an order, "Contact Admiral Roja immediately. I need an explanation for this chaos!"

"Yes, Fleet Admiral!"

Below the surface, Roja dissipated Ryūjin Jakka, returning it to his soul. As a Zanpakutō derived from his spirit, it could seamlessly merge back into him.

Now standing atop Yupemi 's massive head, Roja gripped the Sea Dragon's horns and spoke through the ability to communicate with all things: "Let's head back to Fish-Man Island."

"As you wish, Master," Yupemi rumbled obediently.

"By the way, Yupemi, why did you attack Fish-Man Island in the first place?"

Yupemi growled, "Because Noah's Ark, the symbol of the ancient oath, was destroyed. Without it, I intended to destroy Fish-Man Island."

"Relax," Roja reassured. "I have another Noah's Ark. It's brand-new and identical to the original. You won't need to worry about it anymore."

As a top-tier Sea King, Yupemi was highly intelligent but unwaveringly loyal to its promises. Roja understood this aspect well. Had he not intervened, Yupemi might have truly destroyed Fish-Man Island.

Back on Fish-Man Island, Shirahoshi clasped her hands tightly, staring out into the ocean with concern.

"Father, the sounds have stopped," she said softly.

"Yes," Neptune replied. "Even the burning sensation has faded. Could the battle be over?"

"Roja will win! I know he will!" Shirahoshi declared firmly, unwavering in her faith.

Suddenly, a massive shadow loomed in the distance, approaching Fish-Man Island.

Shirahoshi's eyes widened in fear, tears streaming down her face.

"No... This can't be... Roja would never lose!" she cried, shaking her head in disbelief.

Neptune closed his eyes in despair, silently preparing for the worst.

Madam Shyarly, slumped on the floor nearby, murmured, "I knew it. No one can escape the fate foretold by divination."

Just as all hope seemed lost, Roja appeared, standing triumphantly atop Yupemi 's head.

He waved cheerfully to everyone on Fish-Man Island.

Shirahoshi froze, stunned by what she was witnessing.
