Chapter 107: Aokiji: I Was Careless, Didn't Dodge!
"Getsuga Tensho!!"
"Blade of Winter!"
"Heavenly Demon Wild Dance!"
"Dance of Winter!"
"Shield of Winter!"
"Winter's Tribulation!"
"Ice Glove!"
"Sigh of Ice!"
"Getsuga Jujisho!"
"Crimson Lotus Storm!"
"..."
The two exchanged frantic blows, unleashing their ultimate moves without restraint.
Everything within a thousand meters was affected.
Another round of mutual bombardment passed.
Lister was blasted back hundreds of meters.
Aokiji was also repelled tens of meters.
Boom...
In an instant.
Countless thunderbolts descended from the sky.
All bombarding Aokiji's body.
Although Aokiji was ice.
Ice also conducted electricity.
Caught off guard, he was paralyzed by Nami's lightning.
At this time.
Lister ignored his own injuries.
Instantly pushing his speed to the limit.
Rushing towards Aokiji.
"Godspeed Slash!"
One slash, fast and ruthless, aimed at Aokiji's chest.
Aokiji's expression changed slightly.
However, being numbed all over by the electricity.
His limbs weren't agile at all.
So,
Aokiji could only concentrate all his Busoshoku Haki at the spot Lister was slashing.
Simultaneously gathering strength to harden his muscles.
"Tekkai!!"
Pfft————!
One slash, Lister used almost all his strength.
Under the boost of Ryuo, the sharp blade powerfully broke through Aokiji's dual defense of Tekkai and Busoshoku Haki.
A jet of blood sprayed out frantically as the blade cut through.
Meanwhile, Aokiji was sent flying tens of meters.
"Beautifully done!"
On the golden Ark Maxim flying at a thousand meters altitude.
Nojiko cheered seeing the seamless coordination between Nami and Lister.
Simultaneously, she aimed at Aokiji with her sniper rifle.
Decisively pulling the trigger.
With a bang.
The bullet shot towards Aokiji rapidly.
"Shield of Ice!"
The reason Aokiji was hit by Nami's lightning earlier was carelessness.
Previously, he focused all his attention on Lister, completely ignoring the movements of Nami and the others.
Didn't notice at all that Nami had quietly slipped a thousand meters above his head.
That's why he was hit.
Now, having reacted.
With the assistance of Observation Haki, he also instantly captured Nojiko's attack.
Even though he was sent flying by Lister at this moment.
He could still put up a defense in time.
In the flash of a spark.
A thin ice shield blocked in front of Aokiji.
The bullet shot by Nojiko hit the ice shield directly.
With a boom.
Nojiko's fired bullet exploded directly.
Flames and shockwaves instantly swept across a hundred meters radius.
However, what shocked Nojiko was that the explosion failed to shatter Aokiji's thin ice shield.
"How is this possible???"
Not impossible, knowing that in the movie, Aokiji used an ice shield to block huge flying rocks without the shield being damaged at all.
This shows that Aokiji's ice shield is very powerful.
"God's Judgment!"
At this time.
Nami released another attack with the help of the golden Ark.
A dazzling silver light column descended from the sky.
Ruthlessly bombarding Aokiji's ice shield.
Perhaps blocking Nojiko's explosive bullet was the limit of the ice shield.
Or perhaps Nami's God's Judgment was too powerful.
With a crack and a bang.
Aokiji's ice shield lasted less than two seconds before finally being shattered by Nami's God's Judgment.
Afterwards, God's Judgment, with unabated momentum, instantly engulfed Aokiji.
At this time.
Lister also leaped high, locking onto Aokiji's figure with Observation Haki.
Holding the sword with both hands, he swung down vigorously.
"Getsuga Tensho!"
A black-red slashing wave, a hundred meters long, fell like a meteor.
Pfft——!
The ice cave where Aokiji was lying was instantly split in half.
Getsuga Tensho, after leaving a hundred-meter-long crack on the ice surface, continued to rush towards the deep sea.
Slashing all the way to the seabed.
Lister landed on an iceberg, looking down expressionlessly at that ice cave.
"Is he dead??"
On the golden Ark, Nojiko asked with some expectation.
"Not sure. However, with an Admiral's strength, he shouldn't die that easily!" Nami frowned, speaking somewhat uncertainly.
"However, serious injury should be inevitable!"
"Being able to inflict serious damage is already quite good!! This way, the threat to us is greatly reduced."
"However, we can't be careless. After all, he is a Marine Admiral, who knows how strong a combat power he can burst out..."
"That's true!"
While talking, the two sisters vigilantly searched for Aokiji's figure.
Lister also stood on that iceberg, saying nothing.
Time passed second by second.
Until twenty minutes had passed.
Aokiji did not appear.
Lister raised an eyebrow.
"Did he escape??"
"Since that's the case, then this battle is my victory!"
Although the victory was somewhat unmartial, Lister didn't care.
At this time.
The fleet broke through the encirclement.
Cheers came from more than twenty kilometers away.
Lister took a glance.
The corners of his mouth grinned.
"Looks like that guy Aokiji really escaped!!"
Saying that, Lister flew towards the golden Ark using Geppo.
"Lister, that guy Aokiji hasn't surfaced for so long, could he be dead??" Seeing Lister come up, Nami immediately asked excitedly.
"Not dead, should have escaped!" Lister shook his head.
For the final blow.
Lister was sure he hit Aokiji, but he didn't kill Aokiji completely.
At the critical moment, Aokiji should have paid some price to knock Getsuga Tensho off course.
After that.
Elementalized, completely melting into this hundred-mile ice layer.
Under such circumstances, it wasn't easy for Lister to find him.
So, Lister assumed Aokiji fled without fighting.
"So, we won this battle??" Nami said pleasantly surprised.
She didn't care whether Aokiji escaped or not, as long as they won and everyone could survive.
She was happy.
"Yes, we won this battle." Lister smiled faintly.
"Lister, you're awesome!" Nami pounced directly onto Lister, cheering.
Lister hugged Nami, then pulled Nojiko beside him into his embrace, laughing: "Being able to defeat him, you two also have great credit."
"Let's go, meet up with everyone!"
"Okay!!" Nami responded.
And maneuvered the golden Ark to fly towards where the fleet was.
"Lord Captain, we broke out!!" Johnson and the others, seeing Lister and the two return, immediately said excitedly.
"Everyone did a good job!" Lister praised.
"Let's go, if there's anything, let's leave here first!"
"Aye!!"
Everyone responded in unison.
And maneuvered the fleet, continuing to rush towards Water 7.
Not until they were a hundred miles away from that frozen sea.
Did Lister completely drop his guard.
Just now, although victorious, he never let down his vigilance.
After all, that frozen sea was Aokiji's home field, who knew if he would suddenly pop out for a surprise attack.
Although, given Aokiji's character, the possibility wasn't high.
But Lister had to be guarded.
"It seems Aokiji really gave up."
Lister muttered to himself.
For a moment, he was in a great mood!
"Someone, bring me meat, I'm hungry!"
"Aye!"
