Aokiji raised his hand again.
The cold air transformed into an ice bird, which spread its wings and pounced on Nami.
The ice bird was halfway through its flight when the ice beneath its feet suddenly cracked.
Its body lost its bearings and crashed into the nearby naval formation.
The Aokiji immediately changed the ice bird's trajectory.
But just as the ice bird turned, Akainu's lava blasted in from the other side, instantly melting it.
Aokiji's face darkened.
" Sakazuki, don't let your attacks get close to me."
Akainu was engaged in combat with Tashigi and didn't respond at all.
He blasted out lava again.
The Magma Fist bypassed Tashigi and headed straight for Aokiji.
Aokiji could only raise the ice wall to defend himself.
boom!
The ice wall and the lava exploded simultaneously.
Nami stood on the edge of the explosion, Kakuzu weren't even touched.
She looked at Aokiji.
Do you want to continue?
Aokiji did not answer.
He released an even stronger chill.
Large swathes of ice closed in from all sides, attempting to freeze Nami instantly.
But as soon as the ice layer approached, the ground suddenly collapsed.
The cold air changed direction, freezing the legs of nearby sailors.
Someone tried to slash through the ice, but the blade accidentally struck their companion beside them.
Another navy officer raised his gun and aimed it at Nami, but the gun exploded the moment the muzzle was aimed.
Aokiji kept attacking.
Ice spears, ice birds, ice walls, and chilling air.
All attacks were deflected before they could reach Nami.
Either it misses.
They would either be blocked by nearby navy and pirates.
Or it might be unexpectedly intercepted by Akainu's attack.
No attack could get within a meter of Nami.
Cold sweat finally broke out on Aokiji's forehead.
"100% immune to Admiral- level offensives."
He looked at Nami, his voice becoming low.
"This is the Lucky-Lucky Fruit after Awakening?"
Nami nodded gently.
At least you can't hurt me.
On the other side of the battlefield, Marguerite had single-handedly held off three Whitebeard Pirates.
Diamond Jozu, Vista the Flower Sword, and Blenheim all took to the field at the same time.
Jozu charged head-on.
Vista's twin swords clashed.
Blenheim swung his sword down from the side.
The three worked together seamlessly.
But Marguerite only drew her longbow.
Lightning coalesced on the arrow.
Whoosh!
An arrow was shot.
The arrow struck Jozu's diamond shoulder first, forcibly changing his momentum.
Jozu's body veered to one side, colliding head-on with Blenheim's blade.
Vista's twin swords followed closely behind, slashing down.
Marguerite spun around to avoid it, her longbow sweeping across, lightning entangled the two blades.
She kicked Vista in the stomach.
Vista took several steps back.
Jozu had just regained his balance when Marguerite drew her second arrow.
" Thunder Arrow!"
boom!
Lightning pierced through Jozu's chest.
Dense cracks appeared on the surface of the diamond.
Jozu gritted his teeth and blocked it, but was blasted back hundreds of meters by the enormous impact.
Blenheim charged in from behind.
Marguerite didn't turn around; instead, she fired an arrow with her other hand.
An arrow pierced his shoulder, pinning him to the ice wall.
Vista arrived again.
Two long swords slashed towards Marguerite's neck.
Marguerite released the bowstring, and the longbow, enveloped in lightning, blocked the twin swords head-on.
clang!
Vista's arms jerked.
Using the momentum, Marguerite leaped into the air, and lightning struck the three of them in succession.
Jozu raised his diamond arm to block the lightning bolt.
Vista his sword and sliced through the lightning.
Blenheim had just broken free of the ice wall when he was slammed back to the ground by a second bolt of lightning.
Despite the combined efforts of the three captains, they were still unable to break through Marguerite's defenses.
The Whitebeard Pirates were dumbfounded.
"Those are three captains!"
" Marguerite managed to hold them off all by herself?"
" Jozu, Vista, and Blenheim teaming up, and they still can't gain the upper hand!"
The navy was also shaken.
They originally thought the Thunder Emperor Corps was only small in number and fast in speed.
It wasn't until they actually fought that they discovered these female warriors had no weaknesses in terms of physique, Haki, or lightning.
Three to five members ganging up on one person would be enough to restrain a powerhouse of Marco's caliber.
Marguerite, however, is stronger.
She fought against three squad captains single-handedly and still maintained a firm advantage.
Perona, meanwhile, used Marco as a stepping stone to suppress the power of the Phoenix Fruit.
Hancock and Kizaru clashed, and lightning sealed off the entire sky.
Tashigi and Akainu clashed repeatedly, their sword energy growing stronger and stronger.
Nami stood in front of Aokiji, letting all the attacks deflect.
Marguerite fought three captains alone, never retreating.
The rest of the Thunder Emperor Corps members also charged into the battlefield.
Although they lacked the power to World-Breaking Level of top-tier fighters, they managed to hold back all the powerful Whitebeard Pirates by combining their numbers, lightning, and Haki.
The battle at Marineford has completely devolved into a three-way free-for-all.
The navy was unable to concentrate its forces to besiege Whitebeard.
The Whitebeard Pirates were also unable to break through the Thunder Emperor Corps's blockade.
Although Uchiha Itsu's subordinates were still working on their combined strength, they had already firmly restrained their respective opponents on this battlefield.
The three battlefields were completely intertwined.
The Thunder Emperor Corps blocked the Whitebeard Pirates ' captain, while Hancock, Nami, Tashigi, and Perona each held off three Admiral and Marco.
The elite forces of the Marine Headquarters also lost their original formation.
Artillery fire, lightning, lava, frost, and tremors collided continuously.
Just then, a white figure flew in from a distance.
boom!
Whitebeard's body crashed through several broken walls and slammed into the edge of the square.
Pebbles scattered.
He braced himself on the ground with both hands, his chest heaving violently.
That punch just now had seriously injured him.
Uchiha Itsu stood still, not even moving a step.
He looked at the Whitebeard rising from the ruins, a hint of regret in his eyes.
"What a pity."
The Whitebeard raised his head.
"What did you say?"
"If you were at your peak, perhaps I could be more serious."
Uchiha Itsu said:
You're too old now.
Whitebeard's face instantly darkened.
The surrounding navy and pirates also quieted down considerably at this moment.
Everyone heard those words.
Whitebeard is the World's Strongest Man.
Even severely injured, even old and frail, he is still one of the Four Emperors standing at the top of the sea.
Uchiha Itsu, however, said in front of everyone that he was not as good as he was in his prime.
Moreover, there was no mockery in his tone, only regret.
This attitude is even more offensive than direct humiliation.
Whitebeard slowly raised his naginata.
"Are you pitying me?"
"I just feel regret."
"It's a pity I didn't get to meet the real you."
The veins on the back of the Whitebeard's hands bulged.
He experienced countless battles throughout his life.
Roger, Golden Lion, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin.
Even when facing strong opponents of the same level, no one has ever spoken to him in this tone.
"Stop saying such things!"
Whitebeard roared.
Raise both hands simultaneously.
White pressure quickly condensed around the fist.
The Conqueror's Haki transformed into black and red lightning, coiling around the white air pressure.
Armament Haki followed immediately, covering the area.
The three forces combined, and the surrounding space began to distort violently.
The ground in the square has been continuously collapsing.
The ice layer cracked.
