To imagine what it means for a block of ice, almost larger than an island, to rise into the air, is a sight that countless people will never see in their lifetime.
The frozen ice stretched all the way to the bottom of the sea, freezing the seabed together. However, under the power of the Golden Lion Float-Float Fruit, the bottom of the sea made cracking sounds, and the ice blocks, along with some mud and sand, were carried into the sky.
Within the ice, you can see all sorts of fish and shrimp, and even some enormous, strange fish that are hundreds of meters long. However, these strange fish are far too small compared to the Icelandic landscape.
Splash!
As the ice block rose, the sea seemed to boil, with seawater rushing towards it from afar, finally colliding with it in the middle with a deafening roar, creating a towering current that crashed heavily against the bottom of the giant ice block.
Click!!
The bottom of the ice block was cracked by the ocean currents, and some mud and sand fell back into the sea. However, because the ice block was so huge, the cracks were negligible and not enough to cause the entire ice block to shatter completely.
In the distance, due to the raging roar of the sea, several ships of the Whitebeard Pirates that were anchored in the distance were washed over, most of them sinking to the bottom of the sea, while some remained relatively intact.
Similarly, ships from other forces, and even some naval warships that were following at a distance, were also impacted by the ocean currents, with some sinking to the bottom of the sea and others being washed beneath the ice.
Looking up at the enormous block of ice rising into the sky, blotting out the sun, almost everyone's face was filled with shock.
Beneath the giant ice, the ocean waves surged, while the ice layer above it was also surging wildly, much like the sea below!
The ice blocks kept breaking apart and coalescing, forming what looked like a vast, undulating ice wave stretching for hundreds of meters.
"That bastard Golden Lion..."
Whitebeard's face showed a hint of anger. This was supposed to be a battle between him and Uya, but Golden Lion had forcibly intervened.
Although he could not possibly defeat Uya and would inevitably lose in the end, he had long been prepared for this, and the war between kings was not one that anyone else could interfere with.
Enraged, Whitebeard saw the ice surging and engulfing his Whitebeard Pirates. He took a deep breath and leaped to the side of the Whitebeard Pirates, stepping onto the surging ice.
Boom!!
The Power of Tremors poured down, and the ice beneath his feet Setsuna stopped surging, cracking and spreading in all directions.
"Dad!!"
"You all step back a bit."
Whitebeard spoke in a deep voice, and Marco and the others nodded. Then, the captains, along with Whitebeard, led the pirate crew away into the distance.
At this moment, in the center ahead, countless shards of ice had already swept across the sky and floated into the air, where they suddenly coalesced into countless enormous lion heads, each hundreds of meters high.
Lion's Might... Ground Coiling!
These multiple enormous ice lion heads surrounded Uya and the warship, while Golden Lion Shiki stood atop one of the lion heads.
Because he was forcibly pulled down from the sky by Uya's power, Golden Lion no longer dared to use the Float-Float Fruit to fly around recklessly, lest he be pulled down by Uya again.
"The guys of this era aren't real pirates at all. It seems nobody knows how terrifying true pirates are anymore!"
This era was the Great Pirate Era, founded by the Pirate King Roger. Although many people sailed with pirate flags, in Golden Lion's eyes, these people were not true pirates at all.
Creating terror, even instilling fear in the entire world—that's what pirates are all about!
The Golden Lion coldly stared at Uya below, a terrifying killing intent rising up, as if the ice surface had suddenly transformed into Shinra abyss!
However, the terrifying and fierce killing intent of the Golden Lion swept over Uya without causing any effect.
The entire world seemed to be shrouded in the killing intent of the Golden Lion, but the place where Uya was located was as if it were separated into another world. No matter how strong the Golden Lion's aura was, it could not shake it in the slightest.
drink!!
Realizing that his aura was completely ineffective against Uya, and could at most only instill fear in the navy on the warship, a flash of murderous intent crossed the Golden Lion's eyes. With a low roar, the enormous ice lions surged towards Uya and the warship.
These enormous ice lions are all connected together, like towering ice waves capable of suppressing everything, ready to devour and subdue everything!
This scene caused fear to appear on the faces of the navy personnel on the warship, but Ain showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she blinked and looked at Uya standing there.
At this moment, Uya was looking at Golden Lion with a calm gaze.
Uya actually agreed with what Golden Lion said. People like Luffy, the Straw Hat Luffy, although they fly the pirate flag, do not engage in the burning, killing, and looting of pirates. Instead, they are like chivalrous knights who draw their swords to help those in need.
Pirate King Roger, ushered in the Great Pirate Era, and also completely distorted the concept of 'pirate'.
It seems that anyone who sets sail for ONE PIECE is a pirate.
In fact, a guy like Golden Lion, who plans to destroy a quarter of the planet's oceans and turn the entire East Blue into a living hell, is a truly insane pirate!
Of course, because of the World Government, almost all pirates pose a threat to the World Government, or rather, anyone who poses a threat to the World Government is a pirate. The justice and evil in this world are often distorted.
But what do justice and evil have to do with Uya?
He came to this world simply to recover his strength and find some fun. Even if the World Government offended Uya, Uya would not care at all and would destroy it!
For Uya, anyone who provokes him is an enemy.
Facing the enormous ice lions surging from all sides, seemingly capable of swallowing the sky and earth, Uya casually raised his leg and lightly stepped downwards.
Buzz!!
This seemingly powerless kick, the moment it landed, suddenly caused the entire giant ice floating in the sky to emit a buzzing sound, and all the roaring ice lions were frozen in place!
"You're using the ice I made against me?"
Throughout the entire process, Uya never looked around, but instead kept gazing at the Golden Lion with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"So what? With my abilities, everything is under my control!"
The Golden Lion felt the ice lion he had created, and the entire floating giant ice, suddenly slip out of his control, and his expression changed instantly, but his words remained cold.
Uya smiled and said, "Is that so?"
Click!
The moment those words were uttered, a crack suddenly appeared in the ice beneath Uya's feet.
Click! Click! Click!!
Almost Setsuna, the cracks in the ice beneath Uya's feet spread outwards.
Tens of meters... hundreds of meters... thousands of meters...
Within a few breaths, the cracks suddenly and completely covered the entire giant ice, which was almost much larger than the island!
The ice lions frozen in place were also covered with dense cracks.
boom!!!
The next moment, under the shocked gaze of countless people, this giant piece of ice, which had floated into the sky and was larger than an island, shattered with a deafening roar!
What a breathtaking sight it must have been to see such a massive block of ice shatter in the sky.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Countless ice shards floated in the air, sparkling and translucent under the sunlight, as if the entire sky were studded with countless jewels, looking like a perfect work of art, breathtaking and awe-inspiring. (To be continued.)
