Fists on Aokiji, kicks to Black Arm-White Dragon runs wild!

Aokiji fell into the abyss of the icy plains once more.

Zephyr "flew" out of the icy abyss and landed back on the ice surface.

Despite being in a joint operation, this master and apprentice were forced into a war of attrition under Storm's pressure.

"Truly worthy of being called the 'White Dragon Emperor'..."

Zephyr kept his eyes fixed on Storm opposite him, refraining from making any rash moves for the time being.

As Admiral from the "Old Era," Zephyr encountered countless formidable enemies on his path to becoming Admiral.

Among them are some top-tier powerhouses comparable to the current Pirate Emperor.

Even so.

Storm's strength is on a completely different level from any of the opponents Zephyr had ever faced!

Even though they had only exchanged blows briefly.

In Zephyr's mind, he had already concluded that Storm's strength surpassed his own!

It's not the kind of power that's just a little bit stronger than others.

It's a level of power that's a whole other level strong!

For example.

They're like Admiral and elite Vice Admiral, like Pirate Emperor and his top officers.

The two sides are simply not in the same league!

More than just monsters?

It's simply a super monster!

"Teacher Zephyr"

Storm's right hand returned to its original form, and the Aokiji that he had been holding in his hand had disappeared.

"Don't tell me you want a 'truce' now..."

Storm finally encountered two opponents, and he hasn't had his fill of matches yet!

As for Zephyr and Aokiji's Big Trophy...

That's secondary.

Anyway, these two have already arrived in the New World, and Storm will have plenty of time to spend with them in the Storm, so a little more time won't make a difference.

"My fighting spirit is not that weak!"

Zephyr smiled, snorted, and then flexed his right hand a few more times.

After the practical test, Zephyr was delighted to find that his right hand, which had been restored by Storm, was exactly the same as his original right hand.

It was as if this wasn't the arm that Storm had regenerated using his abilities.

Rather, it was as if Zephyr's right forearm was always in his hand, never leaving it.

Not the original, but better than the original.

It works incredibly well!

New Marines was established, regaining its right arm, and then encountered a formidable enemy...

With so many happy things happening at once, how could Zephyr not be happy?

However, on the other hand...

With his old bones, Zephyr was indeed no match for Storm on Zephyr own.

So he resorted to a very crude delaying tactic.

Zephyr was able to regroup only after Aokiji emerged from the abyss once more.

Aokiji had already sustained minor injuries in the previous battle, and had just been brutally punched by Storm, leaving him covered in blood.

Aokiji couldn't remember the last time he had suffered such a serious injury.

But these hardships only fueled Aokiji's fighting spirit.

Zephyr could tell from Aokiji's eyes that this child, who adhered to "Lazy Justice," was slowly emerging from his period of confusion.

"Kuzan..."

Zephyr withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the composed Storm in front of him.

"It's about to start! Are you ready?"

"Certainly!"

When Aokiji spoke, he was no longer as mild-mannered as before, but full of passion.

"As a senior, being surpassed by a junior... that's just too embarrassing! Professor Zephyr!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Aokiji's feet stomped rapidly on the ice, and his figure seemed to disappear from the spot as if he had teleported.

As Zephyr's student and Garp's disciple.

Aokiji's physical skills are far superior to what most people imagine.

The ability he was currently displaying was none other than one of the Rokushiki—

[Shave]!

With the aid of his physical skills, Aokiji rushed towards Storm's location at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing that Aokiji had taken the initiative to attack, Zephyr did not hesitate any longer and quickly followed.

Aokiji, who charged forward first, leaped into the air, raising his right fist high. At that moment, the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit was quietly released, transforming his right fist directly into a crystal-clear "ice fist".

The [Armament Haki] honed through countless trials surged from Aokiji's body, then coiled and merged with that chilling "ice fist," adding to its power.

Aokiji unleashed his cold, hard right fist at Storm in front of him.

"Ice Glove!"

Storm remained calm. He raised his left fist, wrapping it with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, to block Aokiji's "Ice Glove".

Boom--

The two fists collided in mid-air, instantly unleashing a deafening roar. The clouds above the endless ice plains were also churned and rolled by this force.

Aokiji's "Ice Glove" were wrestling with Storm's left fist, while he also tried to use the natural power of the Ice-Ice Fruit to freeze the latter's left arm and body.

However, in the face of Storm's [Conqueror's Haki], Aokiji's [Ice-Ice Fruit] ability had absolutely no effect on him.

Just as Storm and Aokiji clashed.

Zephyr, who was a step behind, also arrived at this moment.

The experienced "Black Arm" Admiral did not hesitate to take drastic measures at this moment.

Zephyr unleashed his incredibly skilled Armament Haki, wrapping it around his right fist, and launched a fierce attack on Storm's defensive opening.

"Smash the short-sleeved shirt!"

Storm's [Observation Haki] had already anticipated Zephyr's attack intentions. At that moment, his free right hand suddenly swung downwards, as if he had foreseen the future, and intercepted Zephyr's right fist in the nick of time.

Aokiji and Zephyr's combined attack was intercepted by Storm.

What particularly alarmed the two Admiral was that Storm seemed to feel no pressure under these circumstances.

"Only Physique is the foundation!"

Storm gazed at the two Admiral standing close at hand, a bright smile spreading across his face, as black and red arcs of electricity erupted from his body like a storm.

Only Haki can overcome everything!

Storm no longer concealed himself and began to unleash his true power, which had reached the Nine-Star.

Faced with absolute power.

Cracks began to appear on the surface of Aokiji's "Ice Glove".

Zephyr's right fist, which had just recovered, also emitted a series of "crunching" sounds as the bones rubbed together.

"Zephyr- sensei, Admiral Aokiji, let me demonstrate for you..."

Storm took a step forward, forcing the two Admiral to take a step back.

"The term 'power' is used to describe this kind of existence!"

Storm concentrated his strength and pounded on the Aokiji in front of him.

Click--bang!

Aokiji's "Ice Glove" finally gave way at this moment, shattering instantly under the overwhelming power and Haki. Cold sweat immediately poured from his forehead, and under the influence of the [Ice-Ice Fruit]'s power, he turned into shattered ice.

As the "Ice Glove" shattered, Aokiji was sent flying backward.

Zephyr, who remained in place, had his right arm locked up by Storm once again.

'No way... not again?'

The thought had just flashed through Zephyr's mind.

His body was like a weed tossed and twirled in a storm, flying backwards into the air.

But Storm grabbed Zephyr and tossed him high into the air. Then he shot into the sky and mercilessly raised his right leg, slashing it downwards.

Bang!!

Faced with Storm's absolute strength and speed, Zephyr was powerless to resist, unable even to mount a resistance stance, before being struck directly in the body by Storm's right split kick.

A dull thud followed.

Zephyr's body plummeted downwards like a shooting star.

Rumble--

In an instant, Zephyr was kicked into the icy sea by Storm. The thick ice surface immediately cracked and shattered, and large chunks of ice broke off from the surface and were forcibly thrown into the air, then swept away by the rapid shockwave.

After dealing with Zephyr, Storm looked up at Aokiji.

Claywork: Falling Clay!

Storm's figure traversed space and arrived directly in front of Aokiji. He raised his right fist high, and the power of the Clay- Clay Fruit merged into his fist, directly expanding and enlarging it into a giant fist.

Jet-black Armament Haki and black-red Conqueror's Haki were wrapped together around Storm's giant fist.

"Peerless Conqueror's Fist!"

Boom--

Aokiji was blasted into the icy plains by Storm's punch, leaving him no chance to resist.

This punch shattered most of the ice field.

This punch directly defeated the Admiral.

Suddenly, an Eight-Star Moonlit Big Trophy appeared in the void before Storm's eyes.

[Moonlight Trophy: Aokiji Kuzan]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★★★]

'Aokiji has won the Big Trophy!'

Storm took a deep breath, put away his "Peerless Conqueror's Fist," and at the same time pulled Aokiji, who had just been knocked unconscious, out of the broken ice and seawater.

Under normal circumstances, the Aokiji is not afraid of the sea.

For this "Ice Human," falling into the sea wouldn't be a fatal problem, because he could freeze seawater anytime, anywhere.

But this time, it was Storm's powerful punch that truly defeated Aokiji!

Under the bombardment of Storm's "Peerless Conqueror's Fist," Aokiji lost his fighting ability on the spot, let alone using the [Ice-Ice Fruit] to freeze the seawater.

When Storm pulled Storm out of the ice floes and seawater, Aokiji was covered in blood and seawater, looking like a disheveled "drenched Aokiji".

Storm didn't seize the opportunity to make any "declaration of victory," but instead used the [Restoration Fruit] ability to fully restore Aokiji's severely injured body.

The sea is dilapidated, and the White Dragon mends and patches it up.

After dealing with Storm, Aokiji looked towards Zephyr.

He struck Aokiji with a powerful punch.

But they still held back against Zephyr.

There's no other way.

Because Zephyr is a patient.

Storm was genuinely afraid that if he threw a punch, Zephyr would be reunited with his family sooner than expected...

Under Storm's watchful gaze.

Zephyr, who had just been blasted into the ice, stubbornly stood up once again.

"Zephyr ..."

Storm, carrying the still unconscious Aokiji, was about to step towards Zephyr.

But just then...

"Puff--"

Zephyr clutched his chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Crimson blood fell onto the snow-white ice, a sight that was glaringly obvious.

Storm's eyelids twitched.

A new Big Trophy appeared in the void once again.

[Moonlight Trophy: Black Arm Zephyr]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★★★]

This is a regular Moonlight Trophy, not the Death Moonlight Trophy.

This discovery brought some comfort to Storm.

What a load of rubbish!

"Professor Zephyr, please don't die!"

It's stuck.

KALE...

But I still wrote it down.

Two updates delivered. Goodnight everyone.
