A torrent of chilling Underworld Cold Air surged forth from Senga's palms like ocean waves, instantly freezing everything around him.
The entire world had been transformed into a frozen wasteland. Opposite Senga was Aokiji, who was encased in ice, his face still bearing an expression of disbelief.
That's right, he, the Devil Fruit User, was actually frozen in ice!
Logically, as Logia Devil Fruit user, he should have been able to assimilate with the ice around him and escape, but Aokiji lost consciousness the moment he was frozen.
To be precise, Aokiji's thoughts stagnated, stagnating along with time.
Maha Pothmos, as the ultimate move of Queen Esdeath in a certain "healing anime," has reached the pinnacle of ice-type abilities, namely absolute zero, freezing time and space.
Senga just used the Kōtakamimusubi-no-Mikoto was attached to the right corner to absorb Aokiji's Ice Age Hell and combined it with the Underworld Cold Air, thus achieving the same effect as Maha Pothmos.
Once caught in this trap, one will immediately find themselves at Senga's mercy.
If Senga wanted to kill Aokiji, he could simply wave his hand and Aokiji would vanish into ice shards like the surrounding ice, even if he could transform into an elemental form.
Of course, Senga would never kill Aokiji. Putting aside the fact that Aokiji was his good colleague, Aokiji also made a great contribution to the birth of Maha Pothmos.
A purple light flashed in the Rinnegan, and the boundless sea of ice transformed into the Underworld Cold Air, rising into the sky and finally disappearing as if it had never existed.
Aokiji also broke free from the ice. He knelt on the ground, panting heavily. Although he was unconscious while frozen, he was now fully aware that he had just escaped death.
At that moment, Senga teleported in front of Aokiji and reached out a hand to help Aokiji up.
Before Senga speak, Aokiji said directly,
"You are a complete monster!"
He was completely crushed from start to finish in this battle. Aokiji only knew that Senga was strong before, but he never expected him to be this strong. This strength was simply beyond the realm of humanity! Even any of the Four Emperors could not have forced him to such a point. He couldn't help but think that Senga might now be able to take on four Four Emperors' crews single-handedly.
Senga shrugged, neither confirming nor denying the statement.
He observed Aokiji's condition and found that he was fine. After all, he was Devil Fruit User and would not suffer from frostbite. Senga then gave up the idea of Ishichikahime on Aokiji.
Then, he opened the Door-Door Space and released Robin.
Robin, who emerged from the Door-Door Space, didn't say anything, but her eyes conveyed to Senga that she wanted to say the same thing as Aokiji.
Aokiji's reaction upon seeing Robin was quite intense. What was the point of his fight with Senga if not to let Robin escape? And yet, she herself brought her back!
Thinking about how he almost got killed, Aokiji was truly on the verge of tears.
He couldn't help but look at Senga, somewhat uneasy about how Senga would handle Robin.
Ignoring Aokiji's anxious look, Senga crossed his arms and said to Robin,
"Kuzan finally gave you a chance to escape, and you came back on your own? Do you really think I won't catch you?"
Aokiji was momentarily embarrassed by Senga's blunt words; he hadn't expected that Senga had seen through his little scheme so early on.
However, he was puzzled: how did Senga know about his relationship with Robin?
Senga glanced at Aokiji sideways, thinking to herself, even if I haven't watched the anime, just from your reaction when you saw Robin in the office, anyone could tell that you care about Robin a lot, okay?
This time, Robin didn't avoid the question. She mustered her courage and met Senga's Rinnegan, but her trembling voice betrayed her inner nervousness.
"I want to know why you said that just now. Did you mean to...?"
Robin was referring to Senga's undisguised disgust for the World Government earlier; she wanted to understand this man who was excessively young yet possessed absolute power.
She was a smart woman and knew that Aokiji was present, so she did not repeat what Senga had said to avoid causing him unnecessary trouble.
After all, Senga had just saved her life, and his actions in the office had won her favor; otherwise, she wouldn't have risked being arrested to get close to Senga.
However, her good intentions were clearly wasted, because Senga no longer had any fear of the World Government. The only thing he could fear was the unknown "Otsutsuki" Imu.
Imu will simply let Senga run wild for now and will not interfere with him until he has fully evolved, so what does he have to worry about?
Senga said directly,
"That's right, the World Government should have stopped existing long ago, and I will destroy it with my own hands."
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, the most intense reaction came not from Robin, but from Aokiji; he felt the hairs on his body stand on end.
What did he just hear? The most powerful Admiral Purple Kirin, actually threatened to destroy the World Government!?
He quickly thumped his head, fearing that he had been sleeping too much lately and was experiencing auditory hallucinations.
Robin was also stunned. Her big eyes stared unblinkingly at Senga, all the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.
Senga had anticipated their reactions. He shrugged and said nonchalantly,
"It's not the right time yet, but it will be soon."
Aokiji couldn't hold back any longer and shouted.
"Are you kidding me!? Senga, are you crazy!?"
Senga turned around and said in a calm tone,
"Kuzan, I always keep my word. The World Government is corrupt, and I will bring it to an end."
Aokiji stared blankly into Senga's eyes. In those eyes, he saw only an unwavering will. He knew Senga wasn't joking; he was serious.
Logically, the most sensible thing for Marine Admiral Aokiji to do after hearing such radical remarks would be to immediately arrest Senga.
However, when faced with Senga's Rinnegan, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He knew that in front of those eyes, his power as a Marine Admiral was practically a joke.
Senga looked at Aokiji, whose face was ashen, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
Aokiji looked up and met Senga's gaze blankly. Robin, Senga beside him, also kept her eyes glued to Senga, both waiting for her to say something next.
Senga began to speak.
"Kuzan, I don't want to say much about the World Government. You don't need to feel that going against them is going against justice. They don't represent justice. You can spread my words all you want; I won't stop you."
Aokiji's expression was complicated. He stared at Senga a while, and finally lowered his head helplessly, letting out a heavy sigh.
