The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

He also longed to exchange a few blows with the naval admiral who wielded a sword.

"Three-Sword Style? 108 Troublesome Winds!!"

Without hesitation, Zoro raised his hand and unleashed his strongest aerial slash at Aokiji.

He wisely chose not to engage Aokiji in close combat.

Just look at that blast of cold air he exhaled! If my body were to be touched by it, I'd probably be frozen solid instantly! "Such a powerful aerial slash?!"

A strange glint flashed in Aokiji's eyes.

"Oh my, this level of skill already has the strength of a swordsman, definitely not inferior to those pirates with bounties of over 100 million."

"and……"

Aokiji gripped his ice blade and swung it in front of him.

Instantly, all of Zoro's annoying wind slashes were scattered to the side by him.

"His Armament Haki has also been honed to a considerable degree..."

His eyes had completely lost the lazy and indifferent look they once had.

The blade of the ice blade in his hand was also stained with black.

That was also a binding and hardening effect of Armament Haki!

When Smoker was facing Doflamingo in Punk Hazard, he also coated his fists with Armament Haki.

It is evident that Logia-type Devil Fruit users can also use Armament Haki, and it was no challenge for Aokiji to release Armament Haki and wrap it around the blade.

"I must say, the Navy underestimated the immense threat and potential you all possess. To be honest, even I didn't anticipate it..." He patted his hand with his ice blade. "Just one 'Pirate Hunter' already possesses strength no less than, or even greater than, a bounty of over 100 million."

"I'm also very curious about what the other members of the Straw Hat crew possess..."

"puff!"

Before Aokiji could finish speaking, a sticky bullet struck his body, binding him to the ground and rendering him unable to move.

"Hahaha, take this! This is Usopp's slime bullet, which he's never missed and never misses a shot!!"

Usopp, who was hiding in the back, also pointed the muzzle of his Instant Adhesion Gun at Aokiji.

Seeing that the other party had fallen for the trap so easily, he breathed a sigh of relief and burst into laughter.

However~

"【Sticky Gun】, is that it? Hmm, if you're not a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, even someone who's proficient in Armament Haki would find it very difficult to break free from this sticky substance."

Aokiji only briefly assessed his own condition before the sticky clumps clinging to him instantly turned into ice shards.

"With such an adhesive barrier effect, the price of a mere 33 million Berries does seem a bit low."

Snap!

The slimy ice shards on his body shattered instantly, turning into a pile of ice saltpeter on the ground.

Usopp: "!!!"

"Quickly retreat!!"

Knowing that they had no room to intervene in a battle of this magnitude, Nami quickly led Usopp and Chopper to retreat.

The cowardly trio is also the weak trio.

0. Requesting flowers........

Of course, while retreating, they didn't forget to pull Robin along.

"Truly worthy of being called a general, even Link's gadgets couldn't do anything about it. As expected, this is a top-tier troublesome opponent!!"

Zoro had Wado Ichimonji clenched in his mouth, and his face was filled with an undisguised smile, brimming with a desire for challenge.

"This makes me even more excited!"

"Oh dear, don't think that just because you've mastered a lot of domineering aura, you can defeat any enemy!"

Aokiji lightly swung his ice blade forward, shouting, "Ice Slash!!"

La!!

In an instant, the icy blue slash, seemingly formed from a bone-chilling wind, swept towards Zoro!

While both are aerial slashes, Aokiji's technique, relying on the Ice-Ice Fruit and using cold wind as its foundation, is no less powerful than the slashes of those swordsmen!

“Well done!!”

Zoro's face revealed a beastly fighting spirit, and his three swords instantly assumed a defensive stance.

However~

"It's so cold!"

Zoro's expression changed drastically as soon as his three swords managed to block the attack.

The true power of this attack lies not in the strike itself, but in the icy chill that constantly assaults the body!

..00

With such a sudden collision, it was obvious that Zoro suffered a great loss, and his body was instantly invaded by the cold, leaving him somewhat stiff.

"What a troublesome, green-haired idiot!!"

Sanji made this sarcastic remark.

But he was incredibly fast!

La!

The [Shave] technique, which Link learned from the Six Powers of the Navy, is activated instantly.

After Link obtained the Navy's Six Powers, he naturally showed them to his crewmates on the ship.

Sanji naturally selected a few of these techniques to study carefully.

Well, basically, apart from the "Finger Gun" move, which requires finger strength, I've dabbled in all the other moves.

Under the high-intensity displacement of [Shave], Sanji's figure instantly appeared in front of Aokiji.

"Meat-Cutting Kick!!"

He didn't let this perfect opportunity of Zoro being subdued slip by; he kicked the ice blade out of Aokiji's hand.

"Well done, Sanji!!"

Usopp and Chopper behind him immediately cheered.

However, before they could celebrate for long, they saw Aokiji's large, frost-covered hand grab Sanji's thigh.

"Very good kicking skills, but the domineering style needs a little polishing."

Aokiji grabbed Sanji's leg and said slowly, "Freeze Time!"

In an instant, Sanji's thigh was frozen solid by a ball of ice.

"hateful!!"

Sanji's Observation Haki had already predicted Aokiji's next move.

However, he was not as fast as Aokiji. Before he could dodge, he was hit and watched helplessly as his legs were frozen.

"Damn it! It's rubbery..."

The way they're called still follows the habit they've had for over a decade; Luffy is still called "Rubber" instead of "Nika."

Well, that's fine too.

If the World Government finds out that Luffy knows the true name of the Devil Fruit he ate, things might not be as peaceful as they are now.

"pistol!!"

The rubber fist, stretched to its maximum extension, struck Aokiji with deadly precision, aiming precisely at his waist and abdomen.

unit.

Moreover, there was a layer of pitch-black color wrapped around that fist.

This belongs to Luffy, Armament Haki!! Corpse.

The power of 194 items, terrifying force! [Super Glove] + [Superman Ring]!!

call!

"Oh my, they really are all Armament Haki~"

Aokiji looked at the spot on his lower body where Luffy's fist had hit him, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised:

"With so many combat members like you in the first half of the Grand Line, mastering the use of Haki..."

"And at such a young age, you've already honed your domineering aura to this level; your future is truly limitless!!"

Luffy gritted his teeth and remained silent.

He tried everything he could to pull his arm out of Aokiji's body.

That's right, Luffy didn't hit Aokiji; instead, his entire arm passed straight through Aokiji's body!

"how so?!"

Chopper, standing nearby, exclaimed incredulously, "Didn't Luffy use Haki?! Why can't he hit the opponent's body?!"

"That's because the opponent transformed into an elemental form beforehand!!"

At this critical moment, Usopp's rudimentary understanding of Observation Haki also erupted in a rare burst, advancing by leaps and bounds.

"The instant Luffy's fist struck his icy body, he first created a hole in his own body, allowing Luffy's arm to pass right through it."

"Then it snaps shut in an instant, trapping Luffy's arm tightly!!"

Usopp loudly explained to everyone, afraid that Zoro and the others would suffer the same loss again!

"700" "Huh? Is that even possible?!"

Nami, standing next to her, covered her face in shock.

Of course, it's possible to do this. During the Marineford War, Aokiji used this move to outmaneuver Whitebeard.

He transformed his body into an elemental form beforehand, allowing Whitebeard's sword, Murakumogiri, to pierce through his chest.

At the same time, he melted the Murakumo into ice and then, face-to-face, delivered an ice ball to Whitebeard.

It wasn't just Aokiji; Katakuri also used this move on Whole Cake Island, initially overwhelming Luffy with no chance to fight back.

"Oh my, you can even detect such details?"

Aokiji glanced at Usopp with some surprise, "Quite impressive observation skills and Observation Haki, huh?"

"It seems you're not as useless as you appear."

Usopp: "..."

To receive such praise from a Marine Headquarters Admiral, should I feel ashamed or proud?!

"So, you should know that you're no match for me, right?"

As Aokiji said this, his gaze slowly moved downwards.

"You didn't even get past me with just one move."

The icy chill emanating from his waist and abdomen instantly assaulted Luffy's arm, rapidly spreading along it towards his body!

Aokiji released his grip and took a step back.

pat!

"what!!"

Luffy and Sanji both collapsed to the ground, one clutching his leg, the other covering his arm and the ice shards that had spread to his shoulder.

"You're kidding!!"

Usopp, Nami, and Chopper were all sweating profusely.

"The three of them have all mastered the domineering aura and have become so much stronger."

"In the end, they still couldn't even touch the hem of a naval admiral's robe, and couldn't even withstand a single move from him?"

"Is this the difference between me and the people at the very top of this vast ocean?!"
