One Frozen Moment froze Kaido into an ice sculpture.
Without any special ability, that would have meant the battle was over.
But Kaido was one of the Four Emperors. Even after being ambushed by Aokiji, he could not possibly be defeated so easily.
Aokiji naturally knew this very well.
Freezing Kaido's body was mainly meant to seize the initiative.
Aokiji looked at Kaido, frozen into an ice sculpture. With a wave of his hand, large amounts of cold air rapidly condensed in midair all around them, forming thick Ice Thorn Spears.
At a rough estimate, there were at least several dozen.
The Ice Thorn Spear was considered Aokiji's most penetrative technique.
Strictly speaking, if one only considered attack power, the positioning of Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit among the original three Admirals was rather awkward.
In terms of single-target attack power, it was inferior to Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit and Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit.
As for destructive power, the Ice-Ice Fruit certainly gave off an extremely powerful impression, but the Glint-Glint Fruit and Magma-Magma Fruit also possessed wide-ranging destructive power.

The ice instantly melted under the intense heat. The flame clouds that broke free from within surged toward the Ice Thorn Spears in all directions like snarling beasts.
The flame clouds seemed to contain temperatures as powerful as
