"Lightning Bolt!"
Nami was the first to attack.
Being suppressed by Kizaru earlier... on the surface, she seemed unbothered, but in reality, she felt aggrieved.
Her palm was covered in blue-white electricity, and then her wrist detached from her body, shooting into the sky.
Unlike God's Judgment, which condensed a light orb in the sky, Nami's wrist flew directly into the sea of clouds this time.
Rumble...
In an instant, terrifying rumbles of thunder issued from the sea of clouds, like a sleeping beast had been awakened, letting out an angry roar.
The blue-white electric snakes that had been writhing in the dark clouds suddenly turned golden, their bodies becoming thicker.
Golden snakes, one after another, emerged from the sea of clouds, then slowly converged.
Before long, countless golden snakes formed a giant dragon-serpent, which lunged down towards the warship below.
From a distance, it looked like a massive golden lightning bolt striking down, just like when Nami used Zeus to unleash a golden lightning bolt in the original story.
"Such power, ooh, how scary."
The lightning bolt was extremely fast. On the entire warship, only Kizaru could react.
At the moment the lightning bolt struck, Kizaru lifted his leg, condensing a dazzling golden light. He finally wrapped it in powerful Armament Haki and kicked a giant beam of light towards the sky: "Lightspeed Kick!"
BOOM—
The golden lightning bolt and the golden beam of light collided. Like the midday sun, it was so blinding that everyone was forced to shut their eyes.
Aside from Kizaru, who was wearing sunglasses, even Aokiji had to pull down the eye mask from his forehead, and everyone else squeezed their eyes shut.
Some guys who were a bit slow to close their eyes had them stinging from the light.
"Destruction Beam!"
At the same time, from the front of the warship, an orange-red beam, carrying energy capable of tearing apart and incinerating anything it hit, shot out violently.
"Ice Time Capsule!"
Sensing the beam, which fused wind and fire, Aokiji used his "Ice Soru" to leave the warship, appearing on the ice plain. He released an astonishing shockwave of cold air towards the rampaging Destruction Beam.
When the two collided, the Destruction Beam first erupted with astonishing heat, but before it could fully explode, it was frozen by the cold air, forming a beautiful snowflake.
"Uncle, time for round two."
Nami's figure appeared out of thin air. Looking down at Kizaru, she pointed into the distance: "Let's go fight over there. After all, you don't want me to get caught in the crossfire, right?"
"That's an offer I just can't refuse."
Kizaru raised his hands in a surrender gesture, then his body turned into a golden flash, shooting off in the direction Nami pointed.
Yami's benevolent act had unlocked Garp's full strength.
It also earned him the goodwill of Kizaru, who adheres to an "ambiguous justice."
As a "worker," Kizaru does what the World Government orders him to do.
But during work, he also decides how much effort to put in based on his opponent, often choosing to show mercy or let his opponent go.
For example, the Sun Pirates. As one of the fastest men on the sea, Kizaru could have easily found and annihilated them.
But seeing Fisher Tiger continuously returning slaves to their homes, he chose to turn a blind eye, playing a cat-and-mouse game with the Sun Pirates.
Another example is Arlong. Kizaru could have easily beaten him half to death, or even killed him on the spot. But because of the hero Tiger, Kizaru held back, only defeating and arresting him.
It was the same with Nami now.
Observation Haki has the ability to sense a person's emotions and distinguish their good or evil nature.
Although defined as pirates, Nami and Carina's hearts still maintained that innocence and kindness.
They could attack Gild Tesoro without hesitation, but they wouldn't use an "El Thor" attack on the Buster Call.
Because... Nami's adoptive mother was a Marine.
Although the Marines had parasites like Captain Nezumi, Nami and Nojiko still had a good impression of the Marines.
It was this innocence and kindness that made Kizaru choose to "play" with her.
Now, Nami, whose strength had been epically buffed, had given Kizaru an excuse to legitimately slack off and "accompany" her.
Nami was about to achieve the feat of stalling a Marine Admiral all by herself!
Compared to Kizaru, who was slacking off, the outwardly lazy Aokiji was, contrary to expectation, the one most determined to eliminate the Yami Pirates.
He, who had "Burning Justice" in his youth, now followed "Lazy Justice."
This kind of justice meant he wouldn't question others' justice, but if someone obstructed his justice, he would absolutely not let them go.
Just like that, when his justice determined Yami's existence could become the greatest threat to the sea, he was the first to report Yami's information to his superiors, even willing to sacrifice his reputation to draw the attention of Headquarters and the World Government.
Facts also proved Aokiji's intuition was correct.
Yami, the unprecedented multi-Devil Fruit user, was now beginning to break the balance of the seas.
Therefore, Aokiji, now like Akainu who follows "Thorough Justice," decided to go all out to eliminate the Yami Pirates.
"Slave Arrow!"
After the cold shockwave froze the Destruction Beam, Hancock's voice suddenly rang out over the ice plain.
A peerless beauty, dressed in a traditional maid outfit with a hime-cut hairstyle, was seen riding a giant, golden-furred nine-tailed fox, charging towards the warship.
Behind the nine-tailed fox, a tank followed closely.
After closing the distance, Hancock suddenly made a blowing-kiss gesture, forming a giant pink, heart-shaped substance. She then pulled it back like a bow, shooting hundreds of pink arrows towards the sky.
These arrows, glowing with a pink special effect, painted a rainbow in the air as they rained down towards the warship.
"Ice Block: Partisan!"
Watching the arrow rain about to submerge the warship, Aokiji didn't ignore it. He raised his hand, creating giant ice spears, and shot them into the sky.
At the same time, a giant green slash also flew out from the warship. The two attacks blocked all of the arrow rain.
Then, a magical scene unfolded before the eyes of all the Marine soldiers.
Whether it was the flying slash formed by cutting the air, or the white ice spears condensed from moisture in the air, after blocking all the pink arrows, they immediately petrified, turned to stone, fell from the sky, and shattered on the ground.
"Roar..."
At the sameD time, Carina also let out a roar.
The sound wave ability she awakened last year amplified the roar, twisting the airflow. The terrifying sound wave made the Marines on the warship clutch their ears, crying out in pain..
