On the Jackson.
"This... this is impossible!"
A man wearing round black sunglasses gripped the newspaper tightly in his hand and shouted in disbelief.
Hearing his shout, everyone around couldn't help but turn their gaze over.
" Gaban? What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss? This isn't like you at all!"
Another man with short blond hair looked at the man, Gaban, and asked curiously.
Gaban did not answer immediately, his eyes still fixed on the newspaper in his hands.
Seeing Gaban's appearance, everyone immediately realized that something must have happened, and they all stepped forward to look at the newspaper in Gaban's hand.
When they saw the contents of the newspaper report, everyone, like Gaban, showed an expression of utter shock and remained stunned for a long time.
I don't know how much time passed before someone finally broke the silence.
"Hey! This... this newspaper... is it guaranteed to be authentic?"
"Could this be fake news?"
The blond man's tone still held disbelief.
His identity is Silvers Rayleigh, the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates!
He had always considered himself a composed man who could remain rational in most dangerous situations.
This was the first time he had ever been so shocked by simply seeing a newspaper.
But can we blame him?
Anyone would feel the same way upon hearing the news of the simultaneous deaths of the Three Admirals, right?
Thinking this, Rayleigh looked around at the others, and when he saw the even more exaggerated expressions on their faces than his own, he couldn't help but nod slightly.
Hmm! It seems it really wasn't his problem!
After quite some time, the group reluctantly accepted this seemingly impossible news.
News outlets wouldn't report something like this unless they had concrete information!
Since these contents appeared in the newspaper, it proves that they are true!
The Three Admirals of the Navy have really all perished, although this fact is indeed very unbelievable!
" Xia Chen, the new captain of the Rocks Pirates?"
Roger stroked his chin, muttered something under his breath, and then continued:
"I heard about the Rocks Pirates getting a new captain just two weeks ago. I was wondering what this new captain was capable of that made that Rocks guy make such a concession!"
"I never expected this guy to take down three Navy Admiral with his first move! He's really caused quite a stir!"
"But that's not our problem for now! The Rocks Pirates have gained such a top-tier fighter; the World Government and the Navy should be the ones having a headache!"
"Indeed! The Navy has lost three Admiral this time, and its high-end combat power has dropped significantly!" Rayleigh nodded and said, but then a smile appeared on his lips.
"But if that's the case, then Garp and the others will most likely be the new Admiral, right?"
"Besides those few navy personnel, we don't have anyone else who can be considered capable!" Roger nodded.
Just then, Roger and the others suddenly turned their heads and looked in a certain direction. Their bodies immediately assumed fighting stances.
The next second, the sea in the direction he was looking rapidly turned purple.
No! It shouldn't be said that it turned purple; it should be said that it was all frozen into purple ice cubes.
The sea was freezing over incredibly fast, and it looked like it was about to reach their area.
Roger leaped onto the ship's edge, his Haki swiftly binding around Ace, the Supreme Great Grade Sword in his hand.
Then, narrowing his eyes, he waved his hand forward.
In an instant, a crescent-shaped, blood-red blade of light shot out, hurtling towards the oncoming purple ice block.
In the blink of an eye, the blade of light had already reached the spreading purple ice.
"Boom!"
The moment the two made contact, a loud bang was heard.
The purple ice block was cleaved open with a gap nearly ten meters long when it encountered the crimson blade light.
However, it had no effect whatsoever; the gap was quickly filled, and the speed at which the purple ice spread across the sea was not affected in the slightest.
"How is this possible?!"
Roger shouted in disbelief.
Although this attack wasn't his strongest, it was still a very powerful strike.
Even opponents of his caliber would have to put in some effort to withstand this attack.
But what did he see now?
His strike landed on the purple ice block in front of him, but only managed to create a gap of about ten meters.
This was somewhat different from the scene he had imagined—a single, unstoppable strike shattering the purple ice blocks!
What happened? Is he weak?
Wait a minute! He's not even forty yet!
To verify whether his lack of combat experience had weakened him, Roger gripped Ace tightly once more.
Armament Haki wrapped around it once more, but unlike the previous attack, this time it was also accompanied by Conqueror's Haki.
Black and red Inazuma flashed continuously around them.
After charging up for a while, Roger's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly unleashed Ace.
" Divine Departure!"
"Boom!"
A blood-red blade of light, crackling with black and red Inazuma, hurtled towards the spreading purple ice with unstoppable force.
Sensing the imposing aura of the blade's light, Roger nodded almost imperceptibly.
That's all right now!
In the blink of an eye, the blade of light arrived in front of the purple ice block, and upon contact with it, a tremendous roar erupted.
Countless purple ice shards flew out.
They cut a nearly fifty-meter-long gap in the purple ice block.
Fifty meters isn't a long time, but it's not short either!
It depends on who you're comparing yourself to!
At least compared to this massive block of purple ice, those fifty meters are practically nothing.
(#°Д°)!
Roger stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief, speechless.
Rayleigh, Gaban, and the others standing nearby also wore solemn expressions; they knew Roger's strength better than anyone.
The Divine Departure technique struck fear into the hearts of countless enemies!
But now, when faced with this purple ice block, it's like a toy.
That's a bit of an exaggeration!
While they were pondering, the purple ice rapidly spread, reaching the front of their ship in an instant.
Rayleigh reacted swiftly, leaping onto the bow of the ship and drawing his sword to unleash a powerful Flying Slash across the sea.
Unlike ordinary slashes, this Flying Slash takes on a spherical shape.
"Boom!"
The Flying Slash, upon impact with the sea surface, did not plunge directly into the ocean. Instead, it created a depression in the surface, generating a powerful recoil force.
The entire ship was thus lifted into the air for a distance.
The instant the ship took off, purple ice blocks spread out below.
Rayleigh's thinking was simple: it was best not to get frozen by this strange purple ice.
Landing on the ice wouldn't have a big impact on them, but if they were frozen solid...
Judging by the power of these purple ice blocks, they might even damage their ship.
"Boom!"
The Oro Jackson landed on the ice with a loud thud.
"Hahaha... Rayleigh, you're so clever!"
Roger walked over, patted Rayleigh on the shoulder, and said with a big laugh.
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly sensed something and immediately turned to look in a certain direction.
A black dot appeared in their field of vision in that direction of the sky...
