The statement, "No swordsmanship or shockwaves needed," displeased even Kizaru, who was initially quite wary of Uya.
This is a complete disregard for them!
If it were just him alone, it would be normal for Uya not to take him seriously. Kizaru admits that he can't beat Uya, but he's not the only one standing here. It's Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the three admirals working together!
Uya's statement was far too arrogant.
"Alright, this kind of joke isn't funny at all." Aokiji looked at Uya with a serious expression; no one could understand what Aokiji was thinking.
The magma on Akainu's fist kept dripping down, and there wasn't a single bubble within a kilometer radius; they were all scorched and shattered by the heat he emitted.
Akainu's face showed no anger, only a cold indifference, like looking at a dead man. He said, "It seems... defeating those pirates and obtaining the title of the world's strongest has made you too proud, Uya!"
"Fire!"
Sengoku's face darkened. He looked at Uya without saying a word, but suddenly let out a sharp shout.
With a low shout from Sengoku, a large number of warships that had reached the outer perimeter of the Sabaody Archipelago began to fire simultaneously, and a barrage of shells rained down on where Uya was.
Although it's difficult to fire cannonballs accurately, it's still possible to roughly aim at Uya's location. As for Kizaru Aokiji, and Akainu, they are all Logia Devil Fruit users, so the cannonballs will only pass through them and won't harm them.
As the shelling began, Aokiji, whose true intentions remained a mystery, struck first!
This time, Aokiji used his full strength, and in an Setsuna, the ground Setsuna a radius of a thousand meters turned into ice.
Click click!!
Immediately afterwards, a chilling sound of ice cracking erupted, Setsuna, an overwhelming blizzard, as if it were about to destroy the world, crashed down on Uya!
" Ice Roar!"
Aokiji's body had also transformed into a state of being half human and half ice, with only half of his indifferent and calm face visible.
This is the true strength of a Marine Admiral. Compared to the combined efforts of Akainu, Aokiji, and the other two earlier, that kind of combined force couldn't even unleash the full power of one person in this confined space.
Aokiji's attack instantly covered a battlefield spanning nearly a kilometer!
Facing the blizzard that was raining down with countless shells, like a landslide and a raging storm, Uya stood there calmly and simply pressed down with his hand.
Buzz!!
The press did not produce any shock, nor did the air shatter. It was as if nothing had happened. However, in everyone's eyes, the descending snowstorm and the barrage of shells seemed to slow down.
illusion?!
No! It's not an illusion!
Soon, those who were gazing at this place, as well as Sengoku Akainu, and the others standing to Aokiji's side, suddenly narrowed their eyes, revealing a hint of shock.
Because the blizzard and the barrage of shells flying towards Uya began to slow down more and more, and finally, when the first piece of ice touched Uya's palm, the entire blizzard stopped completely, and the barrage of shells stopped at the same time!
"False, Amenominaka! The Ice World!"
Uya's fair hand lightly pressed down in the air, and in an Setsuna, the world in front of him was covered by endless Setsuna of ice, freezing it solid!
Whether it was the blizzard or the barrage of shells, they were all frozen solid by the even more terrifying ice!
This is why they move so slowly that they eventually freeze in mid-air, unable to move forward any further!
"I can't use the Amenominaka, and besides, I've only recovered less than ten percent of my power. However, I can still temporarily cut off this area and turn it into an ice and snow world."
Looking at Aokiji, who was Setsuna frozen in an icy world along with the cannonballs and snow, Uya calmly withdrew his hand.
When Uya pressed down, the world within a radius of several thousand meters was Setsuna frozen into an ice world, but there was no change whatsoever; it did not turn into ice like when Aokiji activated his ability.
Uya's body remained just like that of an ordinary person, with nothing unusual about it.
" Aokiji... he's frozen solid?!"
Only then did the shocked crowd finally react, their faces showing expressions of horror and disbelief.
If Uya had used any other power to block Aokiji's attack, that would have been perfectly normal. Given Uya's status, he could certainly have blocked Aokiji's power. But the unexpected thing is that Uya used the same ability as Aokiji: ice!
Moreover, the instant it stopped Aokiji's attack, it also Setsuna the surrounding area of several thousand meters into Ice World, along with Aokiji!
This scene was breathtaking.
Even if Aokiji could freeze the ocean, he absolutely could not create an Ice World on the earth that could cover an area of thousands of meters in radius in an instant.
In the next instant, a lewd voice suddenly rang out in the room.
"How terrifying! Ice even more terrifying than Kuzan..."
Kizaru is a user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, so of course he's not afraid of ice. Almost the instant that Uya froze Aokiji Setsuna with the ice, and just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Kizaru's figure transformed into a golden streak of light and suddenly flashed towards Uya.
Kizaru knew that Uya possessed spatial abilities, so he planned to seize an opening in Uya's defenses and use his speed to attack Uya.
Logically speaking, given Kizaru's speed, he should have been able to reach Uya in an instant and deliver a direct kick.
However, strangely enough, almost at the Setsuna Kizaru transformed into a golden streak of light and flew towards Uya, a strange, invisible power seemed to appear in this world.
After Kizaru transformed into photons, his speed, which should have been extremely fast, suddenly became incredibly slow.
Is the speed of light... really the fastest speed?
Right under Kizaru's nose, Uya slowly withdrew her hand, then leisurely walked towards Kizaru, and even more slowly kicked out, striking Kizaru in the body.
Throughout the entire process, Kizaru was completely unable to make any moves.
From Kizaru's perspective, Uya's speed was simply extreme, so fast that even Flash Man couldn't react in time. He could only watch helplessly as Uya kicked him.
"Too slow."
When Uya kicked Kizaru, he even said something slowly.
Bang!!
In the next instant, Kizaru's figure transformed into a streak of light, flying backward and crashing into the frozen ice world, then exploding with a deafening roar, sending countless ice shards flying everywhere.
If this is the feeling from Kizaru's perspective, then it seems even more bizarre from the perspectives of others, such as Sengoku and Akainu.
Just Setsuna, Kizaru's speed seemed to suddenly slow down to the extreme, while Uya slowly walked in front of Kizaru and kicked Kizaru away.
However, despite feeling incredibly slow, they couldn't react at all, and even felt like they couldn't control their bodies until Kizaru was kicked away, at which point the strange feeling finally disappeared instantly.
Sengoku and Akainu felt this way, but Dark King Rayleigh and the others, who were further away, were not within the range of Uya's power, so their senses were misled.
Without even knowing what happened, they saw Kizaru fly towards Uya, but before he was even halfway there, he flew back at an even faster speed.
Extremely fast and extremely slow, both exceeding Kizaru's speed of light, and completely overwhelming him—only one ability could create such an effect... time!
Time slows down! Time speeds up!
This isn't about using Observation Haki to predict and attack in advance; it's simply about surpassing and overwhelming the opponent in speed!
Under the power of time, even Kizaru's speed was utterly powerless to resist, and he couldn't even react in time! (To be continued.)
