One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 127: Tacit Cooperation (4K)

“That’s how it is!”

Rhodes stretched out his hands and clenched his fists, and suddenly there was a sound of the air being squeezed and exploding.

"Whatever it is, let's talk about it after we fist bump!"

"This world is ruled by fists!"

"I see."

Aokiji dropped the ice knife in his hand and looked at Rhodes more seriously.

Aokiji had only read information about Rhodes in newspapers and intelligence reports before, and did not know much about him. He only knew that he was a new pirate who had just set out to sea and was very popular.

There are many such pirates every year.

It was not until he saw Nico Robin's photo in the newspaper and learned that she had also joined the Lodo Pirates that Aokiji began to pay attention to her.

However, it was not until this moment, when he saw Rod in person, that Aokiji finally recognized this powerful new pirate.

This is a man who has no fear at all and only believes in his own strength.

"I just wanted to see what kind of pirate group accepted Nico Robin."

An extreme chill emanated from Aokiji's body. With his body as the center, all the snowflakes dancing around him turned into ice crystals and fell from the sky. For a moment, an area without snow was formed on the Drum Island, where it snowed all year round.

"But you are indeed dangerous, Nott Rod!"

There was a cold look in Aokiji's eyes.

"I might as well kill you all here."

"Don't always brag!"

The domineering aura flowed through Rhode's body, like dancing black flames, against his red hair and blue eyes.

The opponent was the strongest force in the Navy Headquarters. From the very beginning of the battle, Rhodes had to go all out.

"I've heard this kind of nonsense too many times!"

boom--

The ground beneath Rhodes' feet instantly shattered, and he instantly appeared in front of Aokiji, swinging out with his clenched fist.

"Ba Quan!!"

The terrifying air wave continued to spread out from the place where Rhodes' fist was swung, accompanied by a powerful domineering aura, and the strong impact almost shattered the space.

"This is really... astonishing!"

Feeling the powerful shock wave coming towards him, Aokiji's expression remained unchanged, but the aura emanating from his body became even colder.

Several icicles appeared out of nowhere, condensed together, and gathered into a huge ice ball blocking Aokiji.

boom! ! !
The powerful impact hit the icicle, instantly destroying it, but the next moment, a steady stream of icicles poured out from in front of Aokiji, pushing it towards Rhodes.

"It's very strong!"

Feeling the strong pressure coming from Aokiji, Rhodes became even more excited.

The next moment, Rhodes' fists continued to swing out, and countless fist shadows continued to swing towards Aokiji like a hail of bullets.

bang bang bang-

Fists were flying and ice chips were dancing.

"Frozen time capsule!"

After the icicle in front of him was shattered again, Aokiji suddenly felt very cold and an extremely cold aura spread instantly.

A red light flashed in Rhodes' eyes. The next moment, he stomped his foot and his body instantly shot backwards, leaving the range of Aokiji's ability.

"You are very strong."

Aokiji opened his mouth and exhaled a stream of cold air, and his face was also covered with ice crystals.

"But I'm stronger!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Aokiji turned into a shadow, and the whole person seemed to blend into the surrounding ice and snow, but he appeared beside Rhodes in an instant, and endless cold air was released instantly, freezing Rhodes' body.

"Boss Rhodes!"

Pekong let out a cry of surprise.

click-

The ice crystals around Rhodes shattered instantly, and a pitch-black fist wrapped in domineering aura blasted out and hit Aokiji.

wow~~
Aokiji, who was hit by Rhodes' fist, suddenly turned into a shattered ice sculpture, and Aokiji himself crawled up from the snow not far away.

"The user of the natural devil fruit ability is as strong as a monster!"

Rhodes shook off the ice crystals on his body and looked at Aokiji with some caution in his eyes.

After a brief fight, he already understood the gap between the two sides.

The admiral of the navy is worthy of being the strong man standing at the top of this ocean. Aokiji's strength is all-round, whether it is the ability of the fruit, physical skills, or domineering, the opponent has almost no weaknesses.

What's more troublesome is that Aokiji is a user of nature abilities and can transform into elements at will.

Although the power of Armament Haki can capture the entity of a natural ability user, Aokiji's Observation Haki is also very good and can completely predict Rhodes' actions in advance.

In other words, up to now, the battle had lasted and Rhodes had not even collided directly with Aokiji's body, as the other party dodged it in advance.

If Rhode relaxed for even a moment, Aokiji would seize the opportunity.

Just like just now, if he hadn't reacted at the last moment and released his domineering aura to cover his entire body, the situation would probably be even worse now.

"Ah la la la, it's obviously you who are more like a monster."

Aokiji climbed up from the pile of ice on the ground, still looking lazy.

"Your boxing skills are derived from the fighting skills of the giants - Baguo, right? This is a fighting skill that even the giants have to use weapons to use. You can actually use such a move frequently with your fists. You are the real monster, right?"

There are also many giant vice admirals in the navy, and Aokiji's former friend Sauro is also a giant.

As an admiral of the navy, Aokiji naturally had a lot of experience. After several fights, he had already seen the principle of Rhodes's "Ba Quan".

"But this is my home court after all. You can't win."

The winter island with snow all year round is undoubtedly the most suitable place for Aokiji to fight, and his ice fruit can bring out the greatest advantages.

Rhodes certainly knew this.

Freezing is Aokiji's territory. Fighting with Aokiji in such an environment is not as simple as 1+1. It is like fighting against nature.

However, Rhodes was not too worried.

Because he is not alone!
"I probably can't beat you."

Rhodes admitted generously, a smile on his face.

"But we can beat you!"

A terrifying force instantly gathered on Rhodes' fist, and then he swung it fiercely at Aokiji.

"You should know that your attack can't hit me."

Aokiji's faint voice sounded, and cold air surged through his body, ready to transform himself into elements at any time.

"ROOM!"

A light blue halo suddenly enveloped the entire venue, and then Rhodes, who was about to punch Aokiji, disappeared in an instant, and then appeared in another direction, suddenly swinging his fist.

boom! ! !
The terrifying punch, accompanied by the outward domineering aura, hit Aokiji fiercely. In particular, Rhode's outward domineering aura rushed into Aokiji's body and destroyed it wantonly. Bang! !

Aokiji's body flew backwards instantly, leaving spots of blood on the crystal ice battlefield.

“Ah la la la, all of you are here.”

Aokiji stood up and wiped the corner of his mouth, then turned his head to look not far away, where there were several figures standing.

"Ao Pheasant!"

When Robin saw the tall figure, scenes from his childhood flashed through his mind. His face turned pale and he took two steps back unconsciously, trying hard not to fall to the ground.

"Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!"

Bakara's expression changed slightly, but she was not as panicked as Robin.

As a pirate, of course he was scared when he saw the admiral of the navy.

But what if the admiral was beaten by his own captain until he vomited blood?

Now her heart was not at all panicked, but instead filled with intense excitement.

This is the admiral of the navy, and their pirate group can confront the admiral of the navy head-on!

"Caught up!"

Naylu put his arm around Law's shoulders.

With his strength, he is not enough to participate in a battle of this level.

If he rushed forward rashly, not only would he not be able to help Rhode, he would also hurt Aokiji and might even become a burden to Rhode.

But he also has his own way of making a difference!
Neru is a natural user of the ability of Observation Haki. His Observation Haki is very special. Not only can he read the information contained in the air, but when he is in physical contact with other people, he can even share thoughts to a certain extent.

However, this kind of sharing of thoughts can only convey some extremely simple messages, and it also requires him to have a strong tacit understanding with the other party. Currently, only Rhodes and Luo can do this with him.

Now is the time for him to fully utilize this ability.

With his observation Haki, he accurately found Aokiji's location and passed this information to Luo.

Based on this information, Law moved Rhodes' body to the correct place, allowing him to directly attack Aokiji's main body.

Such cooperation can bring out the characteristics of all three of them to the greatest extent.

Rod's attacking ability, Nelu's predictive ability, and Luo's mobility!

This is the strongest combination of attack, prediction, and mobility!

"The last time we fought in this way was four years ago!"

Rhodes looked at Aokiji in front of him.

Although he cannot deal with this guy by himself, with the addition of Neyel's observation Haki and Law's super mobility, the outcome is hard to predict!
"It's amazing that we can have such good cooperation."

In just a moment, Aokiji understood Rhode and his men's fighting style, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Trafalgar Law, he can swap the positions of things within his ability, but he didn't move me directly to you, but moved you instead. It seems that his ability has certain limitations."

Aokiji was not in a hurry to continue fighting, but analyzed their situation.

"I noticed that the moment you moved just now, all the domineering aura wrapped around you dissipated. Although it was only for a moment, I still noticed it.

Let me guess, Trafalgar Law's ability, when swapping the positions of objects, can't move people with domineering aura, or in other words, it can't move people with stronger domineering aura than him, so he will move you in front of me instead of moving me directly in front of you. "

"After all, no matter how you think about it, it's more cost-effective to move me directly. You can also use the momentary stiffness when my position suddenly changes to attack me."

"However, I didn't see any special records about Trafalgar Law's Observation Haki in the previous intelligence. His Observation Haki shouldn't be very strong."

Aokiji's gaze fell on Naru who was beside Law.

"But Black Gun Nair is said to have a very powerful observation Haki."

"As expected of a Navy Admiral!"

Seeing that Aokiji revealed the secret of their three-person combined skills in just a few words, Rhode exclaimed in admiration.

"No matter what, I am also an old Marine who has experienced decades of battles!"

Aokiji's expression remained unchanged, and his body became crystal clear again, like an ice sculpture.

"Although your coordination is amazing, as I said earlier, the moment you move is also the moment you are most vulnerable!"

"You can try!"

Rhodes did not give in.

"Two-thorn spear!"

Aokiji stretched out his hands, and several ice spears quickly formed around him, then shot towards Rhodes in an instant.

A flash of red light flashed in Rhodes' eyes, and his body swayed slightly. He dodged Aokiji's attack while quickly approaching him.

Swah——

Rhodes' body suddenly disappeared while he was moving forward, and then appeared in front of Aokiji, throwing out another domineering fist.

boom! !

A large number of icicles appeared in front of Aokiji, trying to block Rhodes' attack, but were instantly destroyed by Rhodes' fist.

However, during this time, Aokiji had already flashed to the other side with a slightly distressed expression.

"ROOM!"

Luo activated his ability again, making his body flash around on the battlefield as if he was teleporting. His powerful punches forced Aokiji to dodge continuously.

"What a monster!"

Aokiji dodged Rhodes' attack again and couldn't help but describe it this way.

Although it seemed that he was dodging and not fighting Rhodes head-on, he was actually releasing cold air in an attempt to hurt Rhodes.

But Rhodes' physical condition can only be described as a monster.

Even among the famous pirates in the New World, few could withstand his coldness for so long.

However, after enduring the attack of his cold air for so long, Rhodes seemed to have no reaction. He still maintained his previous fighting rhythm, and even his breath did not change much.

If this continues, I'm afraid he may not be able to defeat the opponent.

“No…”

In the distance, Luo's face turned pale and he was half-kneeling on the ground.

He had already consumed a lot of physical energy, and after using the room intensively, his physical strength was finally exhausted.

"It seems your companion is no longer able to survive."

Aokiji noticed the disappearing blue ability halo at the first moment, and then looked at Luo who was half-kneeling on the ground.

In fact, after discovering the secret of their combination skills, he immediately wanted to eliminate Luo directly.

However, Rhodes had been blocking his direction of action, preventing him from making any rash moves.

However, fortunately, as he expected, this ability consumes a huge amount of physical strength, and the opponent is no longer able to fight.

"Although I can't cooperate with you as well as your companions, I think I can still play a certain role."

A tall figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

"Bartholomew Bear!"
