XX-level Hokage

Unfortunately, Aokiji was one of the few Devil Fruit users, and the gap in strength between him and Tiger and the others was huge. "On the ship," Mashiro said to Toki, who was watching the battle.

"Doesn't that mean Tiger and Jinbe are definitely going to lose?" Toki asked. Mashiro nodded slightly.

"Ah! How could this be? What if Captain Tiger and the others all dived into the sea and launched an underwater attack? Would that give them a chance to win?" Amatsuki said somewhat unwillingly.

After spending time with Tiger and Jinbe, she developed a fairly good impression of them.

“It’s useless. Doing this will only lead to a more crushing defeat,” Zhen Zi shook his head and said. “Why?” Guan Yue asked, somewhat puzzled.

Mashiro looked at the panel in front of her and said with a light laugh, "You'll see as you watch." [Name: Aokiji Kuzan]

Gender: Male Age: 26

Faction: Navy

Three types of Haki: Armament Haki, Observation Haki; Devil Fruit: Logia type - Ice-Ice Fruit

Height: 298cm Luck Value: 90 Approval Rating: 0

[Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit: Able to turn any part of the body into ice and create freezing air to freeze everything in contact with it, immune to physical attacks and non-Haki.]

Attacks and most energy attacks.

It can freeze all matter into ice, and use freezing air to create weapons. The pale blue ice blocks it creates can be freely transformed to create weapons of any shape to attack targets.

It can create ice with its body, turn objects it touches into ice, freeze the ocean instantly, and even permanently change the geology and climate of an island.

A person or creature frozen in ice will lose consciousness and enter a state of suspended animation. Their body will become as fragile as ice, easily shattering and dying from even minor impacts.

"Freezing the ocean... In a way, this fruit's ability has overcome one of the three weaknesses of Devil Fruits," Mashiro muttered to herself. The three weaknesses of Devil Fruits: seawater, Seastone, and Haki.

Clearly, Amazuki Toki was not the first to think of the method of attacking from underwater.

Jinbe led the other pirates, except Arlong, into the sea. Arlong continued to break the ice, while they assisted Tiger in attacking Aokiji.

Tiger instantly understood Jinbe's plan and began to attack Aokiji even faster. Aokiji also instantly realized Jinbe and the others' intentions, but he showed no sign of nervousness.

His body turned to ice and shattered instantly after dodging Tiger's punches. Aokiji's body solidified on the ice, forming an ice statue, his fingers resting on the surface.

"In the instant of IceTime, the ice begins to spread."

The ice beneath the surface began to freeze as well. Jinbe and the others saw that things were not going well and tried to dive down to avoid it, but the freezing speed was faster than their diving speed, and they were frozen in an instant.

Seeing this, Tiger was extremely angry and anxious, and hurriedly punched the ice surface, trying to rescue Jinbe and the others.

"I advise you not to do this. If the ice that froze them really breaks, they will shatter along with it," Aokiji said casually. Upon hearing this, Tiger clenched his fist, leaped up, and smashed straight at Aokiji.

This time, Aokiji made no attempt to dodge, saying softly, "I've had my fill of playing around; it's time to wrap things up." As he spoke, Aokiji's right hand turned to ice, clenching into a fist, black Haki condensing on it.

It was unleashed suddenly. "Ice Gloves"

In an instant, Tiger crashed heavily onto the ice and turned into an ice sculpture.

As Garp's disciple, Aokiji is still skilled in fist techniques, especially Garp's Iron Fist. Although he has not mastered it, he has already grasped the basics and even incorporated his own Devil Fruit ability into it.

At this point, only Arlong remained of all the fishmen who had disembarked.

Of course, if Tiger's Haki were strong enough, he could break free from the ice sculpture state and attack Aokiji again, but unfortunately, Tiger's Haki is not strong enough to reach that level.

As Aokiji approached step by step, Arlong felt his own insignificance for the first time. So this is the strength of those outside Fishman Island...?

But Aokiji had no interest in Arlong. He walked to the pirate ship and looked at Mashiro, who was watching the show on the deck. He asked in a lazy tone, "Want to continue watching the show, Your Highness Izumi?"

"Oh my, I never expected the World Government and the Navy to actually recognize my name. How strange!" Mashiro said with a light laugh.

"Of course, unless someone voluntarily gives up, no one can strip themselves of the title of Celestial Dragon," Aokiji said casually. Upon hearing this, Arlong was instantly stunned.

Lord Izumi, are you a Celestial Dragon?!

"Since you've put it that way, let's have a light spar." Mashiro said, floating into the air before landing on the ice.

"Arlong, prepare to rescue them. Bring Tiger and the others back to the ship," Mashiro said softly. "Hmm? Yes, Mashiro-sama," Arlong replied, though somewhat puzzled.

"Hey, don't look down on me like that." Aokiji said lightly. Dozens of ice spikes appeared out of thin air and pierced towards Mashiro.

Mashiro simply formed a hand seal. "Fire - Extinguishing Flame!"

Chapter 92: Ice That Cannot Freeze

Fire Path: Extinguishing Flames, is Mashiro's personal favorite fire-based technique.

He transforms the chakra gathered within his body into scorching flames, exhaling them from his mouth in one breath, creating a powerful firestorm that turns the surrounding area into a sea of ​​fire.

Because the flames cover a very wide area, they are difficult to dodge and defend against, and the rapidly approaching fire will burn the enemies in front of you to ashes.

This technique possesses exceptional power among the fire-style techniques used by the Uchiha clan.

Of course, Mashiro personally likes Great Fire Annihilation the most, not only because she was once a member of the Uchiha clan, but also because Great Fire Annihilation is incredibly simple and brutal, and much more practical than other fancy fire-style ninjutsu.

Madara, resurrected through the Reanimation Jutsu, used this technique against the Allied Shinobi Forces during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

The flames, as vast as the sea, required more than twenty members of the Allied Shinobi Forces to simultaneously use a water barrier to block them.

At this moment, Mashiro was far stronger than Madara Uchiha, and the Great Fire Annihilation he unleashed was far more powerful. It could no longer be described as a sea of ​​fire; it directly ignited the entire ocean.

The ice on the sea surface melted instantly, and even the seawater began to steam from the scorching flames.

Aokiji stared in disbelief at the surging flames, trying to use his cold energy to resist, but to no avail. Even if he froze the sea surface, it would melt instantly.

Helpless, Aokiji could only turn his entire body into ice and then cover it with Armament Haki to resist the burning flames. Meanwhile, as all the ice melted, Tiger fell into the sea.

Arlong, who was already dumbfounded, quickly came to his senses and pulled the extremely weak Tiger and Jinbe out of the sea. With the help of the other crew members, he pulled them onto the deck.

The flames lasted for two minutes before finally disappearing.

At this moment, steam was rising from the sea dozens of miles ahead of Mashiro, and many fish were floating on the surface.

In the center of the sea, a pitch-black ice sculpture suddenly shattered, and Aokiji emerged with a wolfish air, his hair curving even more.

"Just as powerful as the rumors say." Looking at the smiling Mashiro in front of him, Aokiji couldn't help but sigh. "You flatter me, you flatter me," Mashiro said with a light laugh.

"However, if I remember correctly, you don't seem to be very domineering," Aokiji said calmly. "Yeah, so what?" Mashiro said softly.

"So, I want to give it another try." As Aokiji spoke, he suddenly disappeared from the spot, and then an ice mark appeared and began to spread. In Aokiji's opinion, since Mashiro did not have Haki, no matter how strong she was, she could not defeat him.

In a mere instant, Aokiji appeared behind Mashiro, his form solidified into an ice statue, and patted Mashiro on the shoulder. "Ice Time"

Instantly, Mashiro's body began to freeze, and the ice continued to spread. In just two seconds, Mashiro turned into an ice sculpture. Seeing this, Aokiji transformed into his human form. In his view, the battle was over, and he had already won.

Mashiro doesn't possess Haki, so unless he actively releases it or is scorched by flames, it's impossible for Mashiro to break free of the ice sculpture state on his own.

Upon seeing this, all the pirates in the Sun Pirates tensed up. Tiger, who had just recovered from his weakened state, was also extremely surprised.

Only Guan Yue remained calm, showing no sign of worry. In her view, if even monsters like the Five Elders couldn't do anything to Mashiro, let alone a candidate general like Aokiji.

Just as Aokiji had expected, a clear female voice rang out as Aokiji turned around to deal with the rest of the Sun Pirates.

"Logia-type Devil Fruit abilities are indeed powerful. I'm so envious. If I could achieve this level, it wouldn't be worth the time I spent training." Upon hearing this, Aokiji hurriedly turned around to look.

With a snap, Mashiro emerged from her ice sculpture state to Aokiji's astonishment. "How is this possible?" Aokiji's expression was more shocked than ever before, and he said in disbelief.

"Actually, I have many ways to dodge your attack, because your speed doesn't seem that fast to me. However, I want to personally experience the power of a Logia-type Devil Fruit. The cold air enters the body and freezes from the inside out. The body is affected by some special force and begins to transform flesh into ice."

Generally speaking, there's really no way to resist it. Because the transformation of the body is irreversible, but unfortunately, my body isn't an ordinary human body. "Mashiro said softly.

She had sensed Aokiji's attack using her Byakugan.

Compared to Rayleigh and Caroline Anmiya, Aokiji's speed is really not that fast.

Mashiro can use the Body Flicker Technique to dodge, or use Shinra Tensei to deflect, or use the Limitless Technique to prevent Aokiji's attacks from getting close. The simplest way is to use the Shadow Clone Technique to withstand the attack.

However, Mashiro chose to withstand Aokiji's freezing attack with her own body, confident in her Otsutsuki physique.

As Mashiro had predicted, the cold air invaded, forcibly transforming Mashiro's body into ice. Then, her Otsutsuki body began to fight back, devouring all the cold air.

"I can give you two choices now, Aokiji: either surrender or be forced to surrender," Mashiro said softly. Aokiji didn't answer, and activated "Ice Gloves" to attack Mashiro again.

Mashiro simply extended her right hand and easily caught Aokiji's iron fist, using the same move that had just defeated Tiger. Then she whispered, "Shinra Tensei."

A fierce repulsive force struck Aokiji's body, and Aokiji hurriedly transformed into an ice man. Under the powerful repulsive force, the ice man shattered instantly into countless ice fragments.

The ice froth melted and fell to the ground, and Aokiji kept spitting out blood.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of killing you. For Tsuru's sake, you can go back," Mashiro said softly.

Actually, Mashiro wanted to kill Aokiji outright, but due to the effects of the Void Stone, she couldn't bring herself to kill him and had to let him go. Upon hearing this, Aokiji paused for a moment, then struggled to his feet and turned to leave.

Just then, Mashiro suddenly said, "Vice Admiral Aokiji shouldn't be a bad person. If you want to go to extremes, you can directly attack the Sun Pirates' ship."

Apart from a handful of people, they would probably all have died in that attack, but you only chose to freeze the sea to prevent the ships from continuing to sail.

So, I would like to ask Vice Admiral Aokiji to consider this: Is Tiger truly a sinner? And what crime did he commit?

The Celestial Dragons can freely enter the world of ordinary people and use their privileges to turn them into their slaves, while the World Government and the Navy remain silent about it.

Tiger merely intruded into the world of the Sky People and turned those who had been forced into slavery back into civilians, yet he is now wanted by the World Government and hunted down by the Navy.

"Isn't the Navy's sense of justice a bit off, at least in this matter?"

Upon hearing this, Aokiji paused for a moment, then turned and got on his bicycle. [Aokiji's approval rating +15]

Chapter 93: The Pacifist and the Seraphim

"By the way, could you tell me where the Whitebeard Pirates are located?" Mashiro asked.

After hesitating for a moment, Aokiji replied, "The West Sea, the Black Sea." Having done so, Aokiji turned and rode away on his bicycle.

After Aokiji left, Mashiro returned to the ship. "Are you alright?" Tiger asked softly.

"Thanks to you again this time, Quan," Tiger said, feeling very guilty.

“After all, it’s a candidate admiral, the Navy’s future top fighting force, so it’s only natural that I had to take action,” Mashiro said softly. “Anyway, thank you, Izumi,” Tiger said with utmost seriousness.

"By the way, I'd like to change our route to the Black Sea in the West Sea. I'd like to hear your opinion." Mashiro said softly.

"I don't care. The Sun Pirates were originally just drifting aimlessly at sea. Since it's your decision, let's head to the West Blue," Tiger said.

"Thank you very much," Mashiro said softly, then turned and went to Tenzuki Toki's side.

After Mashiro left, Jinbe, who was standing next to Tiger, said, "Lady Izumi is really strong. Although I've heard you mention that she's strong, Tiger, I didn't expect her to be this strong."

His expression was full of disbelief.

"Not to mention you, even I was shocked. I originally thought that even if Izumi was stronger than me, it would only be by a limited margin, but I didn't expect him to be so much stronger than me. He even easily defeated a candidate admiral in the Navy," Tiger said with a sigh.

A-Long, standing to the side, looked even more flustered, after all, he believed he had offended Mashiro before, but his fluster was mixed with excitement. Such powerful strength!

Arlong was originally a person who pursued power very much. He chose to follow Tiger not only because of Tiger's own benevolence, but also because of Tiger's strength in defeating all the backstreets of Fishman Street.
