Meanwhile, on the ice!
Oni-gumo, Doberman, Yamakaji, and a series of other famous Admirals stood at the front of their troops.
Their towering figures gave the Marine Soldiers behind them immense warmth... they were not expendable cannon fodder!
They surrounded two of the main ships, excluding the Moby Dick where Whitebeard was located. These ships also had powerful Captains... At the same time, the Whitebeard Pirates, led by their Captains, charged forward!
On the high platform, Kizaru adjusted his brown sunglasses, staring at the ice mountain, and spoke softly, "How terrifying! ...As expected of the Whitebeard Pirates' Captains, each one is as strong as a monster!"
Kizaru stood up with his hands in his pockets, a faint golden glow emanating from his sunglasses.
"If we want to minimize losses, then we can only capture the king first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kizaru transformed into a golden light and attacked Whitebeard.
A figure ascended into the sky, arms outstretched.
Countless golden light pellets fell like rain, covering a large area of the sky!
"Yasakani Sacred Jewel."
Facing the overwhelming rain of light, Whitebeard frowned, not even raising a hand. "Why is it so dazzling!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue phoenix flapped its wings and soared up.
The endless light pellets triggered a series of violent explosions, yet the figure at the center of the explosion still appeared unharmed in mid-air!
Blue flames burned on his wings, and his yellow pineapple-shaped hair fluttered in the wind, his tone extremely arrogant.
"How can... I... let you disturb our great King as soon as you arrive!"
..."How is that possible, an Admiral's attack... blocked... blocked!"
"What's with that body?"
"Indeed, is it that legendary ability?"
On the ice, a group of Marine Soldiers looked up at the sky in astonishment. That was a realm they could never set foot in... "Even rarer than a Logia, a Zoan Mythical Beast!" Kizaru calmly looked at the pineapple-headed man in front of him.
The Commander of the First Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, with a bounty of 1,374,000,000 Berries, "Phoenix" Marco!
Marco showed a provocative smile.
Immediately after, two light figures, one blue and one gold, crossed the sky at an astonishing speed and violently collided!
Marco and Kizaru's feet engaged in a fierce struggle in mid-air, unleashing powerful shockwaves.
"Come on, let me see the strength of a Marine Admiral!"
Marco's eyes flickered with intense fighting spirit.
"Is that so?"
Kizaru glanced at him with a half-smile.
The two figures constantly moved and dodged in mid-air, turning into afterimages at speeds imperceptible to the eye, continuously clashing!
...On the ice mountain,
A scrapped warship was filled with people, most of them wearing black and white prison uniforms, undoubtedly Luffy and others who had escaped from Impel Down!
"What is this?" Buggy leaned against the bow, "It's frozen, I can't move at all!"
Luffy, Sabo, and others stood on top of the ice mountain, looking down.
They saw countless people, as tiny as ants, fighting each other, their battle cries shaking the sky!
"Indeed, was the tsunami Dad's declaration of war? ...And is this freezing the work of Admiral Aokiji?"
With just one glance, Jinbe deduced the cause and effect.
"You guys step back a bit!"
Luffy's calm words carried a convincing power.
Everyone exchanged glances and retreated!
"Hey, hey, Straw Hat, the Marine... is going to execute Ace early!" Buggy quickly ran down the ship, speaking urgently!
"Hmm!"
Luffy's expression was calm, the salty sea breeze rustling his black cape, making a clanging sound!
Rumble!!
The aura around Luffy surged, as if without a bottleneck, reaching a certain critical point, and rolling black lightning, like thousands of thunder snakes, tightly wrapped around Luffy!
Crocodile's mind was greatly shaken, his pupils contracting.
At the same time, the surging aura could no longer be concealed. Sengoku, Garp, Hawkeye, and others shifted their gaze from Whitebeard, and then they saw... "Damn it! Did he still come?" Sengoku frowned, clenching his fists.
"—Luffy!" Garp held his head in pain, not expecting that while he was troubled by his adopted grandson, his biological grandson would arrive!
"I remember that was...?" Hawkeye's gaze changed from bewildered to sharp, and his right hand slowly reached for the Supreme Grade Great Sword "Yoru" behind him!
'Let me see what kind of ability you truly possess, to be praised by him (Red Hair), and to make that kind of man (Zoro) willingly submit to you... Straw Hat Luffy!'
Empress Hancock stood there stunned, her face full of infatuation!
"All men in the world disgust me, except for that one... Lord Luffy is simply too handsome!"
"Ara la la!"
Aokiji looked at Kizaru, who was fighting "inseparably" with Marco, then glanced at the gloomy but unmoving Akainu, and looked helplessly at Vista opposite him.
And at this moment, Vista's arms, shoulders, face... various parts of his body were covered in frost, and even the air he exhaled condensed into a thin mist of ice!
"...Looks like I need to deal with you quickly!"
A hint of seriousness was revealed in Aokiji's lazy face. His slender right arm transformed into crystal-clear ice, and ice-blue mist drifted in the air... A majestic and profound aura fluctuation continuously rose.
The originally clear sky was covered by black lightning.
All Marine and Pirate movements became sluggish, their breathing heavy.
They unconsciously looked up, their eyes filled with incomparable shock.
They saw the small figure on the ice mountain, an unstoppable figure, unleashing Conqueror's Haki, raging like a demon god!
"This... what is this??"
Everyone's eyes instantly froze. Even those who hadn't awakened Observation Haki felt their great-grandmother beckoning them... Just then, Luffy moved!
His Iron Fist, trailing countless black lightning bolts and surging airwaves, smashed down fiercely from above!
"Galaxy Impact."
His body was trembling... trembling violently.
Both Pirates and Marine were intimidated; they could only watch in fear... This was the fate of the weak!
"Ara la la, he's serious!"
Aokiji adjusted his sunglasses, lowering his center of gravity.
"—Crack!"
The hard ice surface cracked into a web-like pattern.
"—Whoosh!"
Aokiji shot up like an arrow, the cold wind sweeping across his face.
Reflected in his sunglasses was that demon-like figure. Ice... condensed on his hand. Top-tier Armament Haki was like the most majestic armor.
The moment he clenched his fist, the world seemed to slow down!
"Ice Gauntlet."
Boom!
The moment the two fists collided,
The entire world seemed to tremble.
The atmosphere collapsed layer by layer, and the clouds in the sky were crushed by the violent impact of the shockwaves.
Black and blue formed a perfect dividing line, beautiful yet full of destruction!
The people below, whoever they were, stared intently at this scene.
"Ara la la, little brother, we meet again!"
Aokiji's tone was faint, but ice as cold as a deep pool spread from his fist. In just an instant, Luffy's arm was covered in a layer of solid ice.
"Heh heh, Aokiji! I'm not the same as I was a week ago!"
Luffy's lips curled into a smile. The powerful Haki instantly shattered the solid ice, and black lightning surged into his arm, greatly enhancing his strength!
Beneath his sunglasses, Aokiji froze. He felt an incredibly violent surge of lightning rush into his body, ravaging his organs and numbing his nerves... Gradually, his strength diminished!
"Boom!" Luffy's fist slammed hard into Aokiji's face!
Black lightning, accompanied by surging airwaves, heavily impacted the ice layer.
The people on the ice surface went weak in the knees and collapsed to the ground!
They saw a pit, hundreds of meters in diameter and of unknown depth, before their eyes, with black lightning continuously spewing from its mouth.
"The... Admiral, was... was defeated?!"
The Marine looked at the giant pit with dull eyes.
They never dreamed that an Admiral... would actually be defeated!
