Boom!!!
As Zoro's words faded, a wild, blood-red Killing Intent transformed into a monstrous storm, sweeping across the entire island!
This Aura was so cold, so fierce...
It was like a Shura from Hell had descended upon the world, sending shivers down one's spine!
Zoro slowly raised his head, and in his deep eyes, a frantic Battle Intent burned!
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, revealing an untamed, cold smile.
"The current me…"
Zoro lightly gripped his three swords.
A crimson Aura coiled around the blades, as if the swords craved blood.
"Feels… like I can cut through anything."
Crack—
Snap—!!
As Zoro's Aura erupted, the surrounding ice layers silently fractured!
Those once indestructible layers of ice, under the pressure of Zoro's Aura,
shattered directly into countless fragments!
Aokiji's brows were tightly furrowed, his gaze fixed intently on Zoro.
For the first time, a look of solemnity appeared on his face.
"…Asura Mode?"
A feeling of unease surged within him.
Zoro's strength, at this moment, had completely broken through some limit!
"This man…"
"Even when facing an 'Admiral,' he still displays an unshakeable belief in victory?"
This was no longer just simple Battle Intent, but a Killing Intent powerful enough to tear apart heaven and earth!
The Shura of Hell had indeed descended!
Zoro's mouth curved slightly, his fingers gently caressing the blade, his eyes filled with a fanaticism for battle.
"Marine Admiral…"
"Today, let me test whether this 'Asura Mode' can… cut you in half."
Boom!!!
A wild, blood-red Aura raged across the entire area!
The sky-full of ice and snow scattered in the furious Aura,
transforming into crystalline ice shards that reflected dazzling cold light.
And the final figure in the arena, under Aokiji's solemn gaze, finally broke free from the ice!
Boom!!
The ice shattered, and large chunks of ice shards rained down like a storm.
However, this time, the figure emerging from the ice…
did not experience a sudden increase in size like Luffy, Lin Ning, or Zoro.
It was still that tall and slender figure.
But—
As Sanji took a step, a completely different Aura instantly filled the entire battlefield!
His speed was extreme, leaving a series of blurred afterimages in his wake.
The ice beneath his feet instantly cracked, creating fissures that spread far into the distance.
"This power…"
Sanji looked down at his hands, clenched his fists, and then lightly kicked his foot.
Leaving several distorted afterimages in the air, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
"My speed… has increased this much?"
Not only that, he vaguely sensed that his defense had undergone a drastic change!
"No, no… why has my defense become so strong?"
Sanji frowned, muttering softly.
According to the Profound Truth of the Body Tempering Technique, this power would be preferentially enhanced based on the Cultivator's Physique.
His speed increased significantly, which was expected, but… why had even his defense become so astonishing?!
He slowly raised his hand and lightly tapped his chest.
Thump!!!
A deep, muffled thud, like the beating of war drums!
His body was like a naturally formed steel fortress.
Every inch of muscle contained incredibly tough power, even more indestructible than Armament Haki!
A strange look flashed across Sanji's eyes, and he spoke in disbelief:
"…Could my Physique itself be this type?"
Meanwhile, Luffy, Lin Ning, and Zoro, standing not far from him, had already completed their transformations—
Luffy transformed into a small giant, like a towering War God on the battlefield!
Zoro entered Asura Mode, exuding a blood-red Shura Killing Intent!
Lin Ning's Conqueror's Mode erupted, his wild Aura like an ancient War God awakening!
Only he, Sanji, showed no change in his Physique, yet his speed and defense had entered another level!
Sanji looked at the three men whose heights had surged, and sighed with a complex gaze.
"Hey, why did all of you get bigger, but I… didn't!!!"
His tone carried a hint of unwillingness.
Boom!!
Four Auras, at this moment, completely converged and erupted fiercely!
This towering Battle Intent shot straight into the sky, forming an extreme standoff with Aokiji's frozen world!
Above the sky, dark clouds rolled, and black-red Haoshoku lightning raged in the air.
Emitting earth-shattering "rumbling" sounds, the entire world trembled!
The entire glacial island shook!
Aokiji stood in mid-air, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"…You guys, you just keep surprising me."
His voice was low, his eyes glinting with a mix of Battle Intent and solemnity.
The combat power of each of these four individuals had received a huge boost.
Making even him, a Marine Admiral, feel a trace of pressure!
But—
Aokiji's gaze sharpened, and his voice slowly emerged:
"However… this power of yours probably won't last long, will it?"
His voice, though calm, carried a hint of certainty.
Indeed—
Luffy grinned when he heard this:
"Hahaha, indeed, in this current state, it's only for five minutes!"
But just then—
Luffy suddenly lowered his head, his gaze like a torch.
His fists clenched, and red lightning exploded from his body in all directions!
"However—"
He suddenly looked up, his Battle Intent soaring, his smile incredibly arrogant:
"It's enough!"
—Five minutes is enough to decide the winner!
"You're really confident."
Aokiji sighed lightly, slowly raising his hand.
"Then I'll show you some real skill!"
—Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!
Aokiji let out a low roar, and the power of his Ice-Ice Fruit operated at full capacity.
A massive wave of cold Qi poured out like a raging tide!
In an instant, a colossal ice bird, larger than the island, soared into the sky, flapping its wings and roaring!
The sky suddenly darkened, and an overwhelming, massive figure suddenly obscured the entire island!
"Wh-What is this?!!!"
Nami's pupils constricted, and she looked up at the sky in terror, her face instantly turning pale.
Usopp's mouth was agape to its limit, and he stammered:
"H-How is this possible… This size… It's even bigger than the entire island!!"
Boom—!!!
The temperature between heaven and earth plummeted to extreme cold, freezing even the air.
Above the sky, that colossal creature spread its wings and roared furiously!
Its wings seemed to be formed from countless glaciers.
Each gentle flap stirred up an overwhelming blizzard.
Its wings covered the sky, as if to devour the entire world!
This was not just an ordinary Move, but one of Aokiji's true strongest attacks!
The giant ice bird, covering the sky, suddenly swooped down.
Opening its incredibly sharp, icy beak, carrying an extreme cold power capable of instantly freezing an island.
It lunged towards the people on the island, as if to swallow them whole!
Even Luffy, transformed into a small giant, still appeared like an insignificant insect before this colossal creature!
The entire island trembled violently under this ice storm, and countless layers of ice cracked.
