I Won't Dodge Divine Annihilation!
In an instant.
The Red Force's hull was completely frozen to the sea surface, becoming one with the vast ice sheet that had simultaneously transformed into the ocean, rendering it utterly unable to escape.
Each Logia Devil Fruit User has their own "home turf".
In their "home turf," Logia Devil Fruit User can experience a significant boost in strength.
The ocean can be considered Aokiji's home turf!
But Aokiji did far more than that.
Facing the Pirate Emperor and his Emperor Pirates on the vast ocean, Aokiji had no way to limit the power of his Ice-Ice Fruit.
Cold, hard ice spread rapidly along the hull of the Red Force, freezing the Red-Haired Pirates ' "main ship" into an ice sculpture.
The Red-Haired Pirates, who were gathered on the deck of the Red Force, were frozen to the ship by this "Ice Age," which resembled an apocalyptic catastrophe.
On the deck of the Red Force, several lifelike human-shaped ice sculptures appeared out of nowhere.
The power of the Ice-Ice Fruit is simply terrifying!
Storm was not at all surprised by Aokiji's performance.
Because this is indeed the normal strength of Admiral!
Even though the Red-Haired Pirates are the renowned "Iron Wall Pirates" on the high seas, the average bounty of their members is the highest among the Emperor Pirates.
But once the [Ice-Ice Fruit] unleashes its power, it completely disregards the bounty level.
The average bounty for the members of the Red-Haired Pirates is very high.
But does everyone possess strength comparable to Pirate Emperor?
Of course not!
Even the "first mate" of the Red-Haired Pirates, Ben Beckman, whose strength is said to be comparable to that of Shanks.
After Storm's actual testing, it became clear that the Red-Haired Pirates' First Mate's strength was all hype!
He's just an ordinary high-ranking officer in the Emperor Pirates!
Aokiji decisively unleashed his ultimate attack, practically wiping out the entire Red-Haired Pirates in an instant.
If Shanks hadn't intervened in time...
Almost the instant after Aokiji unleashed "Ice Age".
As Storm descended from the sky alongside Storm, he drew his Supreme Grade Sword, [Black Road Fire Wire].
Dark purple energy, symbolizing the power of the [D Denk-Denk Fruit], coiled around the silver blade of the [Black Road Fire Wire], making this already renowned Supreme Grade Sword resemble a terrifying "Hell Sword".
In fact, the direction that [Black Road Fire Wire] leads is hell!
"Gravity Blade: Hell's Journey!"
With a sudden laugh, Yi Xiao swung the [Black Road Fire Wire] in his hand. Under his control, a vast and boundless gravitational wave surged forth, overwhelming the Red Force was already unable to move forward.
Aokiji's "Ice Age" has completely frozen the Red-Haired Pirates together, along with their ship.
If Yixiao's "Hell's Journey" hits the Red-Haired Pirates, then this Emperor Pirates, who are already frozen, will inevitably be transformed from "ice sculptures" into "shattered ice" under the suppression of super gravity!
At this critical moment...
Shanks, who was also frozen by Aokiji's "Ice Age," made his move.
[Conqueror's Haki]!
Boom!!
Two red lights suddenly shone from the eye area of the humanoid ice sculpture that Shanks had transformed into, and black and red arcs of electricity burst out from within, instantly destroying the solid ice sculpture covering the outside.
Click-click-click-click
Under Shanks' full power, the ice that originally covered all the members of the Red-Haired Pirates was shattered and dissolved one by one by his [Conqueror's Haki].
One by one, the members of the Red-Haired Pirates were freed from the ice.
Meanwhile, Shanks' [Conqueror's Haki] continues to meet Xiang Yixiao's "Gravity Blade: Hell's Journey".
Buzz--
Two seemingly invisible and intangible energies collided violently in mid-air, instantly generating a terrifying buzzing sound that made people dizzy.
The shockwave from the energy collision spread to the hull of the Red Force, which was not yet completely thawed.
After being frozen by Aokiji's "Ice Age," the Red Force's tough hull, which had withstood countless storms, was completely "brittle."
At this moment, it was suddenly struck by a surge of violent energy, and deep, bone-revealing cracks spread rapidly across the hull of the Red Force.
It only took a few breaths.
The Red Force was shattered into pieces by the aftershocks of the battle between the two top-tier experts. Chunks of ice, wrapped in wood fragments, flew everywhere and fell like hailstones onto the ice below.
The Red Force is completely scrapped!
"No!"
"Our ship!!"
"Red Force!!!"
The members of the Red-Haired Pirates simultaneously let out roars of pain and rage.
On this boundless sea, the importance of ships goes without saying.
In many pirate crews that value relationships, the "ship" is even considered an "invisible member."
Not partners, but closer than partners.
The Red Force carried the Red-Haired Pirates on their voyages for decades, creating countless memories for the Red-Haired Pirates. To the Red-Haired Pirates, it was nothing less than a "comrade."
But at this moment...
This companion...
Red Force...
Dead!
After a brief period of agony, the members of the Red-Haired Pirates stared at Storm, Aokiji, and Fujitora with bloodshot eyes.
That intense anger was almost palpable.
But why would Storm get angry at a group of ordinary little pirates?
Moreover...
Storm also brought two "new Admiral" with him!
Due to the complete destruction of the Red Force.
The two, who were Shanks, were also forced to cease their resistance.
The black-red and Black Lightning Arc caused by the collision of [Conqueror's Haki] and [D Denk-Denk Fruit] danced in the void until they vanished without a trace.
To be fair...
The strength of Shanks 'Conqueror's Haki is so great that it's almost unparalleled in his life.
He felt that this Pirate Emperor's [Conqueror's Haki] was almost on par with that monster, Storm!
That's really impressive!
As expected of the Pirate Emperor, the Captain of the Red-Haired Pirates!
Yi Xiao sighed inwardly, but he still gripped the [Black Road Fire Wire] tightly in his hand. A strong killing intent flashed across his usually gentle and kind face.
But that's precisely why it's so strong!
Then just die!
There are just too many Pirate Emperors in the New World!
Yixiao gripped the [Black Road Fire Wire] tightly, channeling all his power into this Supreme Grade Sword, and then swung it heavily towards the Red-Haired Pirates.
"Gravity Blade - Fierce Tiger!"
A deep purple Flying Slash, faintly resembling a tiger, instantly traversed space, carrying a terrifying gravity as heavy as a mountain, and slammed into all members of the Red-Haired Pirates.
The sheer power emanating from "Gravity Blade - Fierce Tiger" stirred up a gale across the icy plain, blowing the disintegrating and fragmented pieces of the Red Force far away.
Shanks's full head of Red-Haired was also ruffled by the violent sword wind brought up by "Gravity Blade: Tiger".
He gritted his teeth, knowing full well that he was facing the greatest difficulty he had encountered in his decades of seafaring.
Aokiji!
The Blind Swordsman!
This doesn't even include the White Dragon Emperor (Red Dragon Emperor?) who hasn't yet made a move!
The Red-Haired Pirates' Red Force was completely destroyed.
If we don't find a solution soon...
The Red-Haired Pirates are likely to be destroyed along with the Red Force!
If you cannot defeat the enemy in front of you.
Faced with Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit, the Red-Haired Pirates couldn't even escape!
What to do?
Shanks gripped his famous Famous Sword, the Griffin, and unleashed a dazzling Flying Slash to meet Issho's "Gravity Blade: Tiger".
Rumble--
Two incredibly powerful Flying Slash collided in the sky, generating a dazzling light and creating a fleeting blind spot.
Now!
Shanks unleashed his Conqueror's Haki once more, black and red arcs of electricity coiling around his body, completely sealing off and blocking his aura.
Observation Kill!
Even those with strong Observation Haki who could "Future Sight" could no longer detect Shanks' presence at this moment.
Shanks stomped heavily on the fragments of the Red Force beneath his feet, his entire body seemingly transforming into a black and red arc of electricity, approaching Aokiji's position with lightning speed.
We must deal with Aokiji!
Only by defeating Aokiji and breaking the shackles of the Ice-Ice Fruit can the Red-Haired Pirates escape!
As for completely defeating the three formidable enemies in front of us?
Such a thought never even crossed Shanks' mind!
A Pirate Emperor, an Admiral, and a blind swordsman who is no less powerful than Admiral.
This is practically equivalent to three Admiral taking action simultaneously!
If the Red-Haired Pirates could defeat three Admiral at the same time.
Where in this New World will there still be "Yonko"?
So.
Shanks decides to "strangle" Aokiji first!
A figure enveloped in black and red electric arcs rapidly approached Aokiji's position, while the Famous Sword [Griffin], also wrapped in black and red electric arcs, drew a dazzling trajectory in mid-air.
A look of horror flashed in Aokiji's eyes.
His Observation Haki completely failed to detect Shanks' movement trajectory!
This... monster!
Shanks, seeing Aokiji so close at hand, roared.
"Divine Annihilation!"
It looked like Aokiji was about to be struck by Shanks' [Griffin].
Just then, a simple, unadorned black iron fist intercepted Griffin's attack path without delay.
Storm appeared in front of Aokiji as if he had teleported, and his right fist steadily blocked Shanks ' "Divine Annihilation".
The signature techniques of Pirate King Roger, Red-Haired of the Yonko.
They couldn't even get an inch forward in front of Storm's fists!
Storm remained indifferent, blocking Griffin with one hand.
"Divine Annihilation, I will not!"
First update.
I'm late again...
He slid down and knelt to apologize.
One more chapter to come.
It's very late.
