Chapter 672

A navy officer rushed over and said to Strawberry, "Vice Admiral Rika ordered the ship to leave and told us to come this way."

"Nonsense! Lieutenant Vice Admiral Rika is unconscious right now, how could he possibly go over there to give orders?" Strawberry shouted.

Upon seeing the ship, Aokiji positioned herself between Chen Fan and the ship.

Chen Fan smiled at Aokiji and said, "Hey...! Admiral Aokiji of the Navy Headquarters, is it alright for you to stand there?"

Aokiji chuckled and said, "As long as we keep you occupied, everything will be fine. Besides, didn't you just say you promised someone you wouldn't harm any Marines?"

Chen Fan scratched the back of his head, a troubled look on his face, and said, "Oh dear...! This is bad. I've told my opponent all that. Using that move again doesn't seem to be working anymore. Well...! Let me show you something interesting." Chen Fan finished speaking with a mysterious smile at Aokiji, then pointed to the coastline.

Aokiji frowned slightly. Chen Fan was completely unpredictable; she never knew what he was planning to do next. This kind of opponent was the most annoying.

Chen Fan turned his gaze to Aokiji, but pointed in the opposite direction, his smile widening as he uttered two words: "Shigan!!"

(Chapter 184 Shigan)

Seeing Chen Fan put away one of the swords and hold the other with both hands, Aokiji was stunned for a moment. "Hey, hey...! What are you doing? Don't tell me you're actually using only one sword. Are you getting serious? Wasn't that your full strength just now?" Aokiji said to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan exhaled again and opened his eyes. The entire blade glowed with a blood-red light, extremely eye-catching, like a blood-red lightsaber. Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from Chen Fan's sword, Aokiji's expression changed. He could feel that the killing intent attached to the sword in Chen Fan's hand would not even give him a chance to turn into ice. Now it seemed that the question was not whether they could capture Chen Fan and take him back, but whether they could even guarantee their own safety.

Aokiji's entire body was covered in pale blue ice, turning him into a frozen man. This was Aokiji's strongest state, in which he could unleash the full power of his Devil Fruit's freezing ability. Even so, Aokiji felt it was extremely dangerous. He knew he had to strike first and couldn't let Chen Fan make the first move. With a wave of his hands, a freezing aura swept towards Chen Fan.

The icy aura froze the air as it passed by. Chen Fan gripped his sword with both hands and slashed forward -237-. This was the swordsmanship he learned in Shinigami; a two-handed slash was many times more powerful than a one-handed one.

Aokiji's expression changed drastically. He quickly used the "Shave" technique from the Navy Six Styles to dodge to the side. An invisible sword aura—no, it was more accurate to say it was invisible than incredibly powerful.

"Boom!"

Before Chen Fan unleashed his strike, a massive trench appeared on the frozen sea, as if it had been sliced off by something. The distant ocean was severed in half, stretching for thousands of meters, accompanied by a deafening roar. Everyone stared in disbelief at Chen Fan, wondering if he was even human, capable of unleashing such a powerful strike.

Aokiji reappeared, but now had scratches on his arm, with blood seeping from under his skin. He had dodged the attack, but he was still injured by Chen Fan's sword energy. If he had been hit head-on Aokiji felt that even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.

Regardless of whether it was for the sake of justice, Aokiji knew that she absolutely could not let Chen Fan leave today; Chen Fan was far too dangerous.

Crocodile's expression also changed. Chen Fan's strength was far beyond his expectations. Aokiji seemed to be no match for Chen Fan. He was in danger now. Just as he thought this, his expression turned extremely ugly.

Chen Fan gripped the sword with both hands, pointing the tips at Crocodile. All the surrounding marines were startled and quickly dodged. Vice Admiral Strawberry of the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral also looked extremely ugly; Chen Fan's move was truly despicable.

Aokiji's expression also changed. "Whoosh...!" He disappeared from his original spot and reappeared in mid-air behind Chen Fan, kicking Chen Fan in the back of the head with his leg. The Ice-Ice Fruit's power was fully activated, and space seemed to freeze.

"...!"

Chen Fan didn't even turn his head. Aokiji's expression changed slightly, and then Aokiji legs began to shatter inch by inch. After that, his entire body turned into ice shards and disappeared from the spot. He reassembled in the distance directly opposite Chen Fan, but he was kneeling on the ground, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He was covering his chest with his hand, and his face was somewhat pale. He hadn't expected to be seriously injured when he attacked Chen Fan.

"What kind of ability did you use?" Aokiji asked Chen Fan. If it were just simple Haki, it wouldn't have caused him such significant damage. When he touched Chen Fan just now, he felt as if his internal organs had been disturbed.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Who tells their opponent their abilities so they can take Crocodile away? I don't want pointless killing. If I kill you, the Navy will probably be chasing me all over the world. I don't want to live that kind of life."

"But even if you don't want to, you almost have no chance to be carefree anymore," Aokiji said, looking at Chen Fan.

"As long as not all the Marine Admiral attack at once, there shouldn't be any problems," Chen Fan said.

Suddenly, Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Strawberry's voice rang out from afar. "Admiral Aokiji, if we delay any longer, the Navy Headquarters has sent other Admiral provide support."

Chen Fan's expression froze. Had he really been too jinxed? He'd said Admiral Admiral was about to arrive; this couldn't go on.
