One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 148 The Entanglement of Conqueror's Hide!

The southwestern coast of Punk Hazard has been completely transformed into a world of ice, with even the nearby sea frozen over.

The cold wind howled, and frost and snow filled the sky.

"It's so cold!!!"

The sailors fled back to their warship, wrapped themselves in thick cotton-padded clothes, and still shivered from the cold air coming from the island.

"That girl is actually evenly matched with Admiral Aokiji!"

"It seems that Admiral Aokiji is being suppressed!"

Are we dreaming?

The marines stared blankly at the coastline.

In the battlefield constructed of ice, Kaido's daughter and Admiral Aokiji clashed repeatedly, each collision of ice blades and spiked clubs stirring up a bone-chilling cold current.

There are also various ice spikes.

"Why doesn't Admiral Aokiji use his freezing ability?!"

The marines couldn't understand it.

At this moment, Admiral Aokiji's fighting style was completely different from before.

As a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, his strongest winning method is his wide-range elemental attacks. With the power of an Admiral, even a massive Sea King would be frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant.

Even the ocean can freeze!
Even without using wide-range attacks, according to Admiral Aokiji's fighting style, he can freeze an enemy the instant he touches them.

However, at this moment, Admiral Aokiji had no intention of using freezing abilities and was fighting purely based on physical skills and Haki.

Even when using their abilities, they only launch ice spears and ice blocks as support, relying on the hardness and sharpness of the ice blocks for physical attacks.

Such a battle undoubtedly abandons one's strongest advantage.

"It's not that it's not used, it's that it's ineffective."

Lieutenant General Dor, wearing a woolen overcoat, took a deep drag on his cigarette and explained Aokiji's predicament to his subordinates with a serious expression.

"That girl cannot be frozen."

It won't freeze!

It can even manipulate ice!
This is the power of mythical beasts; they not only possess a physique far superior to others, but also have additional special abilities.

Kaido's daughter's power is ice!
As an ice-type mythical beast, its elemental attacks are hard to match those of nature-type beasts, but it is almost immune to freezing, as Admiral Aokiji has already proven in their first encounter.

Aokiji had no other choice.

In addition, the extreme cold caused by their battle was unbearable even for a lieutenant general, making it impossible for him to provide support.

The officers found it hard to accept.

"Vice Admiral Dol, even if Admiral Aokiji's freezing power is ineffective, with an Admiral's combat strength—"

"Don't say stupid things!"

Dorl shouted.

"That girl is Kaido's daughter!"

Her mere identity as Kaido's daughter is enough to draw the world's attention, not to mention her powerful Devil Fruit abilities.

How could the other party be weak!
In the center of the battlefield.

The ice blade blocked the spiked club.

Using the force transmitted, Aokiji quickly withdrew and used Shave to enter the air, raising his hands high.

"ice·Meteorite!"

A massive block of ice, as big as a small mountain, crashed down!

Yamato bent his legs to gather strength and leaped up to meet the meteorite.

The battlefield was surrounded by icebergs, and there was no room to dodge the falling ice blocks.

Then, smash it!

"Oh oh oh!"

"Thunder Gossip!!!"

The huge block of ice flashed with light, then exploded into countless fragments with a loud "boom"!

The girl appeared in the center!

Aokiji had anticipated this, and numerous tridents floated around him, their blades gleaming with a sharp, cold light.

In the fierce battle, he realized that Kaido's daughter was stronger than him, and her Haki was also ridiculously strong. He could only rely on his combat experience to win!
"Ice - Thorn Spear!"

Countless streaks of light shot down!

With no foothold in mid-air, Yamato forcefully flipped his body and passed through the gaps between several ice spears.

"puff!"

A bloody gash appeared on his cheek, and blood was flowing from his waist and thighs, indicating that he had not been able to completely avoid the attack.

"That guy is really strong!"

Yamato landed on the suspended ice block, watching the countless points of light rushing towards it, and licked away the blood that slid down its body with its tongue, its body becoming even more excited.

My body aches so much! But it's amazing!

She hadn't been this excited in a long time!
"Divine speed!"

The girl transformed into a blur, moving at high speed among the shattered ice, dodging the ice spears while rapidly closing in on Aokiji!

Like a giant white snake winding its way upwards!
"So fast!"

Aokiji's pupils darted left and right, trying to track the girl's movements, but almost instantly, the girl appeared right in front of him!
"White Snake Drive!!!"

The spiked club came crashing down!
Aokiji raised his arms to protect himself, ice crystals spreading across his arms for defense, but the spiked club did not hit his body; instead, it struck the air!

"Crack!"

The black and red lightning exploded, instantly shattering the ice crystals on Aokiji's arms. The overwhelming force of the powerful energy pierced through his body!

"puff!"

Aokiji coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body falling like a cannonball, instantly piercing through the iceberg, and crashing to the ground with undiminished momentum.

"Overlord's Embrace!"

The thought flashed through my mind!

"boom!!!"

The earth trembled violently, and smoke and dust billowed into the sky!

"Hu~~ huh~~"

Yamato landed on the iceberg, panting heavily, his sharp eyes scanning the smoke below, searching for traces of the enemy.

It's not over yet!
She could sense the other person's presence!

When the smoke cleared, a huge crater appeared on the ground.

Almost simultaneously, a hand emerged from the pit, grasping its edge, and frosty white ice crystals spread rapidly.

Aokiji reappeared.

In the instant he hit the ground, he covered his back with ice to cushion the impact of the fall.

But the injury was still very serious.

Even the Conqueror's Haki's entanglement...

Aokiji looked up at the girl, his heart sinking to the bottom.

The Conqueror's Haki entangling the body creates an ultimate attack that is almost impossible to defend against. Even in the pirate world, which is full of Conquerors, only a handful of Conquerors can master it.

What an amazing talent!

Moreover, she is so young. If we cannot eliminate Kaido's daughter here, she will surely become the second Kaido in the future!
"It can only be this way."

Aokiji reached into his robes.

His abilities were almost useless against the girl, and his strength was reduced by more than half. Although he was not going to be defeated, it was not good for him to continue in this stalemate.

When the disaster strikes again, he will face a two-on-one situation.

At that point, the chances of winning will be even lower.

"What a terrible decision!"

Aokiji sighed helplessly. If the generals leading the team were two other people, the situation would definitely be different.

But there is no if.

Given the current situation, the arrest plan has failed.

Well, that's the only way!

Aokiji's gaze was cold as he pulled out a golden Den Den Mushi from his pocket. Punk Hazard was now an uninhabited island, so there was no need to worry about innocent people being affected.

Buster Call, activated!

Naval Headquarters!

The highest level of alarms blared through the sky!
"General Aokiji has issued the Buster Call!"

Location: Punk Hazard!

"Immediately dispatch ten warships and mobilize five lieutenant generals from the vicinity!"

"Move quickly!"

Marshal's Office.

Sengoku and Garp were having tea and snacks together when they heard the alarm for the Buster Call. Their expressions changed drastically, and they even dropped the senbei they were eating.

"What's going on? With Aokiji's power, he shouldn't need to activate the Buster Call to deal with the disaster. Could it be that...!"

For Aokiji to launch the Buster Call, there must be a more formidable enemy than the Earth Disaster, especially that man.

Kaido, the "strongest creature"!
"Contact Aokiji immediately!"

However, the intelligence agencies were unable to track down the fleet led by Aokiji.

Except for the special golden Den Den Mushi, all other Den Den Mushi enter a state of hibernation in extremely cold environments.

Nobody knows what happened!
