Hideous wounds appeared across Aokiji's body once more, yet they rapidly froze over just as before, as though they had been sealed in ice. There was no doubt that this was still that infuriating Elementalization.
Watching the scene before him, Moke could not help frowning slightly. "Just as I thought, Logia users are truly troublesome opponents!" Against any other enemy, the power of his Tremor-Tremor Fruit alone would have been enough to injure them with ease.
