Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

He glared at Aokiji, his expression slightly ferocious. "What did you do to my comrade?!"

Rubber, Entangling, Wave-Cutting!

A massive, crescent-shaped, black-red sword aura tore through the air and slashed towards Aokiji at the waist!

Wherever the sword energy passed, space seemed to distort.

"His swordsmanship has improved by an absurd amount!"

Aokiji finally showed a hint of shock. Last time they fought on Enies Lobby, Luffy's physical skills were amazing, but he never had such sharp and terrifying swordsmanship.

He dared not be careless, for elementalization was meaningless in the face of such a domineering slash.

"Ice Wall - Triple Rashomon!"

boom!

boom!

Three massive ice walls, each several meters thick, instantly rose from the ground, blocking the sword energy.

However, the black and red sword energy sliced ​​through two layers of ice walls like a hot knife through butter, before exploding on the third layer. Ice shards mixed with the aftershocks of the domineering energy scattered everywhere, leaving the surrounding ground in a mess.

"Hmph! Although I don't know what happened, I'll let you calm down first!"

Just as Aokiji was about to make a move, Garp's voice rang out. Amidst the roar of sword energy colliding with the ice wall, his figure leaped out from Aokiji's side like a ghost. Black and red lightning danced wildly on his right fist, and the air in front of his fist was compressed to the extreme, forming a transparent dome that was visible to the naked eye.

"Fist Bone - Meteorite!"

He punched the lingering aftershocks of the sword energy that had not yet completely dissipated.

The terrifying impact shattered the space in that area into a vacuum, and the violent shockwave spread outward like a tsunami, forcibly interrupting Luffy's continuous offensive and forcing him back.

"White Rubber Spinning Sword Dance!!"

Luffy's eyes were bloodshot, and he had almost lost his mind.

He leaped high into the air, wildly wielding the demonic black blade in his hand. A chaotic yet terrifyingly domineering stream of black and red sword energy indiscriminately enveloped Aokiji and Garp like a torrential rain!

His domineering aura was being consumed at an alarming rate, completely disregarding the consequences.

What exactly triggered this kid's reaction?

"Kuzan!"

Garp shouted, signaling to join forces to suppress them.

Aokiji understood, exhaled a breath of cold white air, and slammed his palms into the ground: "Ice Age: Prism!"

Huge ice pillars and ice walls rose up instantly, pressing towards Luffy from all directions like living things.

The Ice-Ice Fruit's ability to alter terrain is not necessarily weaker than the awakened abilities of Paramecia-type Devil Fruits.

This restricts Luffy's movement and also blocks the violent sword energy.

Each sword strike that hit the ice wall produced a tremendous roar and scattered ice crystals everywhere.

Garp, like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, charged directly into the storm of sword energy.

His fists were his strongest weapon, each punch precisely shattering the sword energy as he closed in on Luffy step by step.

"It looks like it's almost over over there."

Kizaru used the Ama-no-Murakumo sword to block Rayleigh's thrust, the laser and Haki colliding to create a dazzling halo. "Are you still going to stop me, Mr. Rayleigh? If this continues, you probably won't be able to enjoy your retirement in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"Their era has only just begun; how can we let you stifle it here!"

Rayleigh's hair and beard stood on end. Although he was old, the aura he exuded at this moment was still astonishing. His sword moves became increasingly fierce, forcing Kizaru to concentrate on dealing with them.

"I've heard about what happened to you on this island. Even if your strength has declined, is it still the nature of a pirate?" Kizaru looked dejected.

"If your World Government could withdraw my arrest warrant, I might actually be able to retire in peace." Rayleigh sneered in response, slashing his sword at Kizaru's neck. The latter dodged part of it by transforming into his elemental form, but the Haki attached to it still left a shallow bloodstain on his shoulder.

"Then stop getting in the way and help Straw Hat! The crimes of you old-time pirates can't be erased yet, and now you're even worse off!" Kizaru rubbed his shoulder, his tone finally showing a hint of impatience.

"It seems you're determined not to let these young people go?" Rayleigh continued his offensive.

"Please spare me,"

Kizaru looked troubled. "That Marine hero showed no mercy whatsoever. Besides, if we don't catch the culprit, and three Celestial Dragons die on Sabaody Archipelago, our Marine Headquarters will lose all face in front of the lords of Mary Geoise. Can you please stop getting in the way?"

Although it's only a matter of time before Garp and Aokiji defeat Luffy, what they need most right now is time.

Nobody knows how much longer Straw Hat Luffy can hold on.

Time is the biggest uncontrollable factor that can trigger new changes.

A strange fruit ability.

An exceptionally large and domineering aura.

And the constant sound of drums.

All of this gave Kizaru a bad feeling.

"if you can,"

Rayleigh grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes. "I really want to try and stop two generals at the same time!"

That's a real headache.

Kizaru sighed, his expression finally turning completely cold. "Ever since I arrived on this island, I've been in a terrible mood."

"The Eight-Foot Jade Curved Jewel!"

Without holding back, Kizaru instantly transformed into his elemental form and ascended into the air, crossing his arms as countless dazzling light bullets rained down, covering a large area where Rayleigh was located.

"Hades - Sword Qi Barrier!"

Rayleigh dared not be careless. He wielded his longsword like a wheel, and the condensed sword energy formed an impenetrable barrier in front of him, blocking most of the light bullets. However, the shockwave from the explosion still forced him to retreat continuously, and the ground was blasted into countless craters.

The battle between the two top experts escalated instantly, entering a fierce clash, with their domineering aura and physical strength being rapidly depleted.

Meanwhile, Luffy's battle with Garp and Aokiji was even more intense.

"Wow, this domineering aura is terrifying! How did he cultivate it?"

Aokiji continuously created ice walls and ice spears to disrupt Luffy from a distance, while using his Observation Haki to predict Luffy's elusive slashes imbued with Haki.

Let's leave the direct confrontation to Mr. Garp.

Aokiji is very shrewd.

Of course, he will act immediately when he finds a suitable opportunity.

But the problem is that it can't be found.

Luffy's demonic black sword seemed tireless, its black and red sword energy crisscrossing and cutting the battlefield to pieces.

The continuous sound of the liberation drums seemed to be providing him with a constant source of power and some kind of peculiar blessing.

Domineering spirit is not limitless; to squander it in this way is tantamount to burning one's life away.

Aokiji could sense that Luffy had become somewhat strange from the very beginning.

"You're in pain!" Garp said in a deep voice.

He didn't know what had happened to Luffy.

But he only knew one thing.

Garp suddenly closed in on Luffy, dodging a horizontal slash, and his fist, imbued with terrifying power, slammed directly into Luffy's abdomen. "I don't know why, but if you insist on participating in the upcoming war, you'll only suffer more pain! If you can't bear it, then obediently submit to my capture!"

"Fist and Bone - Conflict!"

boom!

The punch landed squarely on Luffy's crossed arms, the immense force penetrating his defenses.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Luffy's body flew backward uncontrollably, heading directly towards Aokiji's location.

"ended."

Aokiji seized the opportunity, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He exhaled a breath of extremely cold air and clasped his hands together in front of him. "Frozen Time Capsule!"

Even during the flight, a bone-chilling cold quickly spread from below.

high speed.

Luffy didn't have time to react at all.

Logia-type abilities are just that unpredictable. Luckily, this isn't at sea. If it were at sea, Aokiji's strength would be even more terrifying.

Ordinary Devil Fruit users have absolutely no chance of resisting.

There wasn't enough time to use overwhelming defense.

Because Garp's punch had shattered his Haki, a visible chill spread from his body, instantly sealing him completely inside a huge block of ice, leaving him frozen in mid-air while still flying backwards.

The ice block fell to the ground with a heavy thud.

"Phew, that wasn't easy," Aokiji exhaled a breath of cold air.

Garp stood there, staring at the massive block of ice, his chest heaving as he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. "In short, my mission is complete."

However, Garp and Aokiji's expressions gradually darkened.

Because the booming sound of the liberation drums did not stop when Luffy was frozen!

On the contrary, it is even clearer and more urgent!

Click.

A piercing cracking sound came from inside the ice.

Fine cracks spread rapidly from the center of Luffy's heart, instantly covering the entire frozen area!

then.

The ice cubes exploded with a bang!

Luffy reappeared, kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily.
