The aftershocks of Roy and Golden Lion's power clash began to affect Marine warship.
The waves quickly spread to the location of the warship.
The warship was violently rocked by the huge waves, and its masts creaked and groaned.
The sailors on deck clung tightly to the anchor points to avoid being thrown off.
Aokiji jumped off the ship's railing, placing one hand on the sea surface. " Ice Age."
Centered on his palm, the ice surface rapidly spread outwards.
But the waves were too big; the small areas of ice that had just formed were shattered by the next wave.
Aokiji frowned and increased the output of the freezing air.
"No, the waves are too frequent; we need a wider area."
"But if the sea freezes over a large area, our warships will also be frozen in place."
Garp glanced at him.
"Then freeze it."
The warships aren't important, as long as they can get close to Onigashima.
Aokiji nodded and placed both hands on the sea surface simultaneously.
The extremely cold air exploded in a ring around him, and the ice surface spread wildly in all directions at a visible speed.
The surging waves were frozen into ice sculptures in mid-air, the shapes of the waves solidified in the air, as if time had suddenly stopped.
The entire sea area was completely frozen over in just a few breaths.
From the air, the sea surrounding Onigashima appears as a white ice field, its surface smooth as a mirror, reflecting the sunlight.
The Golden Lion's floating Sky Island were hovering above the ice, but the ice was too slippery, and his floating rocks would lose their maneuverability if they landed on the ice.
The ships of the Totto Land Fleet were frozen in the ice and unable to move, but the combatants on the deck took this opportunity to jump off the ships and charge towards Onigashima on the ice.
Kaido and Linlin stopped moving at the same time.
Both pairs of eyes looked in the direction the ice stretched out.
On the ice, five figures were speeding towards Onigashima from the direction of the warship.
Garp took the lead, his feet leaving deep footprints on the ice.
Zephyr followed closely behind, his arms already imbued with a thick Armament Haki.
Akainu's right arm completely turned into magma, and the dripping magma burned a melting groove on the ice surface.
The Aokiji glided across the ice faster than anyone else.
Kizaru transformed into a beam of light, breaking away from the five and heading straight towards Onigashima at the speed of light.
" Yasakani no Magatama--!" Kizaru's body transformed into countless points of light in mid-air, shooting towards Pluton.
But the points of light had barely flown a distance when a golden slash wave descended from the sky.
It precisely blocked Kizaru's path, forcing him to withdraw from his beam form.
Kizaru flipped in mid-air and landed steadily on the ice, squinting as he looked up at the sky.
The Golden Lion stood on the floating Sky Island, his Oto sword still in the swinging stance.
He grinned at Roy, a sly smile on his face.
"Leave the navy to me! You keep guarding Pluton! If Pluton gets destroyed, none of us will get anything!"
Roy sheathed his sword and glanced at the Golden Lion expressionlessly.
That old fox wasn't being kind; he just didn't want the Navy to destroy Pluton because he wanted to take it for himself.
But at least when it comes to dealing with the navy, their goals are aligned.
The next instant, Roy's figure vanished from the spot.
Shusui drew a black arc in the air, slashing towards the Golden Lion's neck.
"You brat! You--"
Golden Lion hastily parried Shusui's slash with his twin swords, the floating rock beneath his feet sinking several meters from the impact.
"If the navy wants to fight, and you want to fight, then we'll fight together," Roy said.
Above the icy plains, Garp looked up at the two still locked in combat in the air, then gazed at the massive black warship at the edge of Onigashima in the distance.
His fists were clenched so tightly they cracked, and his knuckles turned white.
"All troops—" Garp's voice boomed across the icy plains, "Assault on Onigashima!"
Aokiji's Ice Age froze the waters surrounding Onigashima into a white ice field, so thick that horses could run across it.
In mid-air, Golden Lion and Roy also slowed down their attack.
On the ice, the opposing formations have been set up.
The five Marines spread out in a fan shape— Garp in the center, Zephyr on the left, Akainu on the right, and Kizaru and Aokiji on the flanks.
The five people's aura was united, like five insurmountable mountain peaks.
On the pirate side, the four Sea Emperors weren't standing in such neat formation.
Roy and Kaido stood side by side, less than five steps apart.
The Golden Lion stood alone on a low-lying floating rock, with Oto and the Kogarashi crossed in front of him, his golden mane dancing wildly in the sea breeze.
Linlin rode Zeus, hovering a short distance away. Napoleon had transformed into a serrated scimitar, Prometheus burned fiercely on her shoulder.
On the surface, it appears to be a battle between the Four Emperors and the Navy, but the pirates' positioning reveals everything—they are fundamentally not on the same side.
"Mama--The Navy is joining in the fun too!"
Linlin licked her lips, her eyes filled with greed.
"Then let's clean it all up together!"
Since there's only one Pluton, let's get rid of the obstacles first!
The Golden Lion let out a strange laugh.
"Is the navy trying to reap the benefits without lifting a finger?"
Dream on!
When Lao Tzu was making his fortune at sea, the Sengoku was still in the era of open-crotch pants!
Kaido hovered above Onigashima, his dragon head lowered, his whiskers dancing wildly in the sea breeze.
The smoke from his earlier clash with Linlin still lingered in his dragon mouth; his voice was rough, hoarse, and violent.
" Garp! Zephyr! You bunch of old geezers—"
Nobody's going to touch my Pluton today!
The battle broke out without any formal declaration.
Akainu made the first move.
His right arm transformed into a giant magma fist, dark red magma churning and boiling on its surface, before blasting towards the nearest Kaido.
" Great Eruption!"
The giant magma fist shot out, expanding in mid-air to the size of a house, trailing black smoke and sparks as it crashed towards Kaido's dragon head.
The surrounding air was distorted and deformed by the high temperature, and the ice surface hissed under the scorching heat of the magma, sending up large plumes of white water vapor.
Kaido his mouth and spewed out dragon breath.
The cyan flame pillar collided with the giant magma fist in mid-air, and the red and cyan colors intertwined to form a blazing sea of fire.
Fragments of flame and lava scattered like a meteor shower, burning holes in the ice.
The ice surface could not withstand the alternating impact of extreme heat and cold, and spiderweb-like cracks erupted from the point of impact.
Garp shattered the ice beneath his feet and shot towards Roy like a cannonball.
His Observation Haki made it very clear that Roy was the most troublesome person on this battlefield.
Kaido is strong, but his fighting style is straightforward and easy to predict.
Roy is as slippery as an eel, with many and varied abilities. If we don't keep him occupied first, it will be difficult for the Navy to achieve its objectives.
Roy parried with his sword, Garp's iron fist slammed into the Shusui sword. The shockwave from the clash of Conqueror's Haki created dozens of cracks in the surrounding ice.
The ice shards were swept up by the shockwave and shot out in all directions like countless flying knives.
"Kid! You haven't gotten much stronger these past few years!"
Garp grinned, but there was no smile in his eyes.
His fist pressed down on Shusui's blade, and the force continued to increase.
"You're still so healthy and robust."
Roy's arm muscles bulged slightly, and Armament Haki Hardening from his wrist to the blade, gradually pushing Garp's fist back.
The two faced off in a stalemate.
The ice beneath their feet could not withstand the pressure and collapsed into a shallow pit centered on them.
