Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

Chapter 380: Kidnapping Aokiji
The streets were covered with a layer of smooth ice, and the igloos were connected together around them. The blue ice and snow were like a dream, sparkling with dazzling crystal light under the reflection of the sunlight.

A human-shaped ice sculpture stood in the street, with its legs raised as if kicking, and a look of surprise on its face.

"Sanji!!"

boom!
Luffy shouted in panic, and quickly squatted down and kicked his feet. He turned into an arrow and flew towards the figure next to the ice sculpture at a high speed.

Aokiji retracted his hand that was emitting cold air, and his eyes seemed to be despising the other party's powerlessness. He raised his hand and released cold air upwards, and the huge glacier suspended in the sky slowly gathered and took shape.

"Asshole! What did you do to Sanji!?"

Anger erupted from Luffy's eyes, and his domineering aura flowed and gathered at his wrist. Before the person arrived, his fist had already struck out, tearing through the air fiercely like a cobra pouncing on its prey!

"Rubber Rubber King Cobra!!"

"Ice Gloves!!"

Aokiji took a step forward, half-crouched and took an attacking stance, ice forming into boxing gloves and covering his fists with domineering aura.

boom! !

The collision of the two fists caused an explosion of black lightning, which exploded densely on the surrounding ice surface and melted houses. The powerful impact knocked Aokiji back.

"Young people really can't be underestimated. Your growth rate has far exceeded my imagination."

Aokiji looked solemn. After his feet landed on the ground, he stretched out his index finger and pressed it downwards.

Boom! !

The huge glacier suspended in the air trembled violently, and some broken ice cubes fell as if hail was falling from the sky.

A huge shadow gradually enveloped the earth, and the huge ice floe began to fall!
"Don't blame me for not warning you. If you don't rescue him, he'll be smashed to pieces."

Just as Luffy was about to set off in pursuit, Aokiji pointed at Sanji's ice sculpture and said coldly.

These words made Luffy pause and he suddenly looked up at the sky.

"Oh no, Sanji!"

Luffy's eyes turned panicky and he quickly turned around and ran towards Sanji, picked him up with one hand and rushed out on his shoulder.

However, how could Aokiji let them leave so easily?

Snapped!
Aokiji squatted down and slammed his palms on the ground, and a wave of cold air quickly rushed out along the ice surface!
"Ice·Ice Sword Tomb!!"

A cold shock swept past Luffy's feet, and huge ice blades suddenly rose from the ground!
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Luffy's eyes widened in shock, his feet tapped the ground continuously, and his figure kept moving around in the mountain of ice knives.

However, the sharp ice blades kept coming out like shadows, as if they would not stop until they turned the two into a hornet's nest.

"hateful!"

Looking at the glacier pressing down on his head, seeing that there was no time to escape, Luffy gritted his teeth, let go of the frozen Sanji, and jumped into the air, folding his arms at his chest with full strength and a fierce look in his eyes.

"Rubber-Rubber Fire Snake Machine Gun!!"

With a loud shout from him, a pair of arms ignited with explosive flames and left afterimages, and countless fists bombarded the glacier indiscriminately like a torrential rain!
boom! ! boom! ! boom! !

One after another, the swift and violent fists turned into meteors dragging flames and rose into the sky. The red meteors gathered into rain, smashing into the glacier and sending debris flying everywhere. The flying ice crystals gradually melted under the high temperature of the flames.

Amidst the violent tremors, the glacier that blocked out the sun and sky broke into countless cracks, and finally collapsed under the heavy weight, turning into small icebergs that fell down.

In Sanji's current condition, let alone these small icebergs, even a slightly larger ice cube could directly smash and shatter his fragile body.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Luffy did not stop, gritting his teeth and continuing to wave his arms wildly, his fists constantly hitting the falling iceberg.

"I never thought that one day I would have to fight for my life with Mr. Garp's grandson, and I never thought it would be as a pirate. The impermanence of life is truly sad."

Aokiji sighed with his hands in his pockets, then raised his hand and waved it lightly, and an extremely cold ice blade slowly condensed in the air.

While Luffy was concentrating on resolving the glacial crisis in front of him, Aokiji's eyes darkened, and the cold air in his body erupted and gathered towards the ice blade, and he shot out in a flash!

"It seems you haven't been able to become the one to change the world, Straw Hat! Your journey ends here!!"

"Zero Degree Break · Freeze!!"

Aokiji roared and swung the ice blade through the air. A stream of freezing cold compressed air turned into a white crescent moon and flew rapidly over the earth!

——Swish!!
An extremely cold wind blew by, and everything fell into absolute silence. The instant the frost passed through Luffy's body, the ice solidified and completely froze him in place with a stunned expression!
Boom-boom-boom!

The heavy iceberg crashed to the ground, sending out countless pieces of ice that buried the two ice sculptures.

"It's over, cough, cough"

Aokiji's legs went weak and he half-knelt down, holding his chest. He supported himself on the ground with one hand and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. The blood dripped onto the ice and was frozen into blocks before it could spread out.

".The power of shock?"

Aokiji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and thought about the full-strength kick Sanji had just given him on the back.

It seems that the injury from that kick is much more serious than imagined.

"call"

Aokiji let out a long breath of cold air and stared at the ruins for a long time.

"What a pity, it seems that fate is not on your side after all, Nico Robin"

Standing up, Aokiji waved his hand to disperse the ice blade, looked up at the sky, and suddenly remembered the scene 20 years ago when he froze Sauro with his own hands in O'Hara.

"I wanted to see her future with my own eyes, the future you risked your life to protect, but now you have to destroy it with your own hands again. Fate really plays tricks on us."

A gust of wind blew across the ice, bringing with it a hint of cold air.

Aokiji stood there, watching Luffy and Sanji lost in thought, with a hint of confusion once again appearing in the depths of his eyes.

Am I really living the way I want?

Until now, I still can't understand how you felt at that time, Sauro.
Click-click!

At this moment, the sound of ice cracking suddenly came from the ruins, and Aokiji turned around indifferently to look there.

The ice on Luffy and Sanji's bodies burst into several tiny cracks, and it seemed that they would be able to escape from it soon.

"You are so tenacious! Isn't this enough to bring you down completely?"

Aokiji waved his hand and condensed the ice blade again, but just as he took a step, a figure suddenly blocked his way.

"Ah, I haven't taken action for a while. I almost forgot about you, a troublesome guy."

Aokiji put his hands on his head and sighed with a frown, then looked at Reiner with a bit of vigilance, who suddenly stopped in the middle of the fight and now appeared out of nowhere.

"So, you've got some strange ideas again."

"Don't say that, I just thought of something interesting."

Reiner waved his hand, his voice calm and with a hint of playful laughter.
"You seem to still be bothered by what happened in O'Hara? After things here are over, do you want to go to Egghead with us?"

"Eghead?"

Aokiji was stunned when he heard the name. As a former navy officer, he naturally knew that this was Vegapunk's research institute. Reiner's words made him feel even more confused.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, is this an invitation? That's weird, right? We're enemies now. We should at least wait until the battle is over before discussing this. Hey, don't expect me to betray Teach."

"."

I don't know what Aokiji was thinking. The style of the painting suddenly changed and he started saying some inexplicable words. Reiner was silent for two seconds before continuing:
"Back then, those scholars risked their lives to hide O'Hara's research results. Vegapunk has been secretly studying the documents they left behind. Now that the truth has been revealed, the World Government has sent people to eliminate him."

Reiner said a few concise words, but the key words made Aokiji frown slightly, and he looked at him intently.

Researching the truth of history, and the World Government sending people to erase it, this sounds very familiar to Aokiji.

In addition to Vegapunk, there are also a large number of researchers on Egghead.

Aokiji has been in the navy's high-level positions for many years, and he is very familiar with the World Government's style of work. Now that they have taken action, they will definitely not stop at just killing Vegapunk. There is a high probability that they will wipe out all life on the entire island just like they did back then.

The best way to do this is to
Demon-slaying order!
It's simply a recurrence of the O'Hara incident.

Thinking of this, Aokiji felt a strange unease stirring within him, a mix of complex emotions swirling within him. "And how did you all find out about this?"

"We just came from Egghead and had the misfortune of meeting that familiar old man. Luffy has already promised Vegapunk that he would go back to rescue him. I'm afraid the World Government will also send a lot of troops for this."

Reiner casually explained the reason, "As for the invitation you mentioned, there is no such thing. I just thought of what I said before. You can find the answer in your own way."

"In this case."

"What will you choose, Aokiji? Once again facing the O'Hara incident, who will you fight for this time?"

Reiner raised the corner of his mouth slightly, staring at Aokiji with burning eyes.

"A World Government trying to conceal the truth and stabilize its rule? Or a Navy that thinks it's maintaining stability, but is actually being manipulated and used as a pawn?"

"Or perhaps it's the pioneers who pursue history and explore the truth about the world, and the innocent civilians who are unknowingly dragged into it."

"Or maybe it's a pirate like us who acts recklessly and disrupts everything."

"No longer holding any position, now a free agent, what identity will you play in this incident?"

Reiner looked straight into Aokiji's eyes with a playful look.
"You keep paying attention to Robin's growth. Are you trying to find your own inner answers from her future?"

"I"

Aokiji's eyes froze, and he tried to deny it but stopped himself. Cold sweat broke out on his palms, and the other party's questioning echoed in his mind like the devil's whisper.

Reiner knew that Robin was not the only one deeply hurt by the O'Hara incident.

The guilt towards his best friend, the doubt towards the world government, the escape from the justice that was shaken in his heart, the scenes of that year were like a thorn that could never be pulled out, stuck deep in Aokiji's heart.

"You're a pirate, but you know so much."

Aokiji couldn't help but sigh softly. If he had met the Straw Hat Pirates first after leaving the navy, he might have boarded the ship and followed them.

"Unfortunately, Teach also told me something similar, so I became a member of the Blackbeard Pirates. But don't think that I am a traitor just because I left the navy."

Aokiji's eyes showed determination, and his fighting spirit was rekindled.

That's when.

boom!
boom!
Two sounds of breaking ice were heard in succession, and Luffy and Sanji finally broke free from the icy confinement, and ice cubes rolled off their bodies with a "crackling" sound.

"hateful!"

Sanji looked at Aokiji who was intercepted by Reiner and growled.

I was almost taken down by the opponent because of my carelessness. Even though I had become so much stronger, I ended up being a drag.

boom!
Sanji gritted his teeth and kicked the ice off his leg, clenching his fists, feeling somewhat unwilling.

"Ao Pheasant!!"

As soon as he broke free, Luffy shouted and rushed towards the other party at high speed.

"It seems I've been fooled. Was what I just said just to buy time?"

Aokiji's eyes darkened and he slapped the ground with his hands, and a cold air shock wave immediately spread.

"Ice·Ice Sword Tomb!!"

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
The cold air quickly spread along the ground towards Reiner, Luffy and Sanji, freezing everything it passed through, and countless ice blades rose from the ground.

"Every word I say is true. Delaying is useless against you."

boom! !

Reiner raised his knees and retreated, covered with a dark armed color, and stomped his foot hard to shatter the ice blade that had just emerged from the ice surface, jumped into the forest of ice blades, and quickly shuttled towards Aokiji.

At the same time, blue flames ignited from the surface of his body, and Reiner's flesh and skin were burned, leaving only a hideous skeleton with barbs.

Although the stronger undead cannot be easily recalled, the abilities of some weaker undead can still exert considerable power in his hands.

For example, Booger Man’s Explosion Fruit.

Reiner flexed his skeletal arm, and dazzling white-hot flames emanated from it.

"What form is this!?"

Aokiji looked surprised. The terrifying energy contained in that fist made his brain sting faintly with the alertness of his observation Haki.

"Ice Coffin!!"

Aokiji hurriedly pushed his palms forward, and the cold air in the air gathered towards his palms, quickly condensing into a thick ice coffin to block in front of him.

"You should keep this broken coffin for yourself!"

"10,000-ton equivalent explosive punch!!"

boom! !

A fierce blue flame flashed from Reiner's dark eye sockets, and he punched hard on the hard and thick ice coffin!
In Aokiji's frightened pupils, Reiner's fist exploded, and all the terrifying energy was released in an instant!

boom! ! !
The killing range covers an area of ​​several kilometers. The exaggerated wind pressure destroys everything in its path, shattering and blowing away all the frozen buildings around!
In an instant, the entire island shook violently.

"What the...what's going on! Is there an earthquake?!"

"Quick! Look over there!"

The sound of the explosion exploded in their ears like thunder, and everyone looked up at the sky with horror in their eyes.

A black mushroom cloud mixed with flames rose into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, so huge!
"Is this an explosion?"

"You're kidding! How big a shell would it take to achieve this?"

Countless pirates stared with their eyes wide open, their pupils trembling as they stood there in shock.

Under this level of explosion, Aokiji's ice coffin defense was also completely destroyed, and the whole person was blown away by the extremely high temperature wind pressure.

His clothes were tattered, revealing charred burn marks, and wisps of white smoke were coming out of all over his body. If you touched him, you would find that his skin was terribly hot, as if it had just been pulled out of a frying pan.

Although the power of the explosion was exaggerated, Reiner didn't think that it could bring Aokiji down.

This is especially true for Luffy and Sanji, who had just suffered a round of brutal beating.

"Fourth Gear Switch: Stretchman Mode!!"

Deng!Deng!Deng!
Luffy tucked his legs into his thighs, and a burst of energy erupted from below, propelling his body into flight at breakneck speed like a jet.

"Rubber rubber!"

When Luffy came in front of Aokiji, he compressed his arms tightly like springs, his eyes were furious, and his extreme domineering color stimulated an explosive black lightning, which wrapped around his fists and blasted out rapidly from top to bottom!

"Lion King Bazooka!!"

boom! !

Aokiji subconsciously crossed his arms in front of him to block, but there was a sound of bones breaking, and Luffy's fist pushed his arm into his chest!
Phew—bang! !
Aokiji's body fell rapidly from the sky above the island like a comet, crashing into the ground and creating a huge deep pit, with smoke and dust rising.

"Rubber-Rubber·Ape King Crow Cannon!!"

Luffy swooped down from the air, swung his arms quickly, leaving afterimages, and created countless explosive fists that slammed into the deep pit!
boom! ! boom! ! boom! !

BANG! A flurry of fists fell mercilessly, blood splattering from Aokiji's mouth and nose. His body bounced up and was blasted into the ground again!
Luffy gritted his teeth and kept moving. Sanji almost died at his hands just now, so he had to beat him to death.

For a moment, the earth continued to tremble, and dust and smoke surged out from the deep pit.

Only when the sounds in the smoke gradually faded away did Luffy retract his arms and fall back to the ground. He bounced up and down several times on the ground with his feet, his eyes fixed on the deep pit in the smoke.

"call--"

Feeling that the opponent had completely lost his fighting ability, Luffy breathed a sigh of relief and released the Fourth Gear.

"Finally. It's over."
