Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

A powerful wind pressure vibrated and spread out, knocking several lieutenant generals including Gion flying backwards.

Ga-ga-ga!

The ice bird was shattered by the meteorite, and countless huge ice blocks splashed and sank into the sea. The huge impact force did not weaken the meteorite's downward momentum.

But more importantly, with the impact point as the center, the terrifying cold air swept up madly.

As the meteorite fell, a white color quickly spread, completely covering the surface of the lava that fell from the sky with terrifyingly high temperatures.

Until it is completely frozen and turns into a huge blue and white ice ball.

At the same time, five ice pillars as thick as warships rose from the sea and soared into the sky.

boom! ! boom! !

Bang! ! The moment the icicle and the ice stone came into contact, a loud noise was heard, and countless pieces of ice burst out.

The meteorite continued to crush the icicle with great force, but it itself had become brittle due to being frozen, and the alternation of hot and cold caused it to break apart bit by bit.

When the icicle was crushed to the bottom and about to fall into the sea, the meteorite was only two-thirds of its size left.

Several lieutenant generals still looked intently.

This ice meteorite, which is as big as a small island, is about to fall into the sea. Although its power has been reduced, the impact caused by its weight and the tsunami-like waves still pose a great threat to ordinary soldiers.

"Ah la la~, this is really troublesome."

In the distance on the sea, Aokiji, wearing a light blue suit, stood on a patch of ice and spoke lazily:

"Can't this be solved? Fortunately, I came here, otherwise the navy would have suffered a lot of losses this time."

As he spoke, Aokiji squatted down and placed his palms into the sea, while his eyes were fixed on the huge ice ball that was sticking to the sea surface in the distance.

boom! !

At the moment the meteorite fell, the sea looked like a blue curtain fluttering in the wind, with ripples surging.

Huge waves were stirred up like a fierce tsunami, the sea water rushed to the sky and then fell from the air, and a huge rain curtain covered and soaked the lieutenant generals.

Strong wind pressure spread out and swept violently.

boom!boom!

Bang! The soldiers on the deck were blown away, hitting the wall hard one by one, sliding down like mud.

After standing up with difficulty, they looked up at the huge waves and could not help but feel terrified. The warship seemed so small in front of it.

Just when this terrible tsunami was about to smash the ship.

"Ice Age!"

A chill came over them, the air became icy cold, and the soldiers felt as if they were about to be frozen.

Swish-!

A flash of white came into everyone's eyes, and the next moment, only white ice crystals remained between heaven and earth.

Connecting the Judicial Island and the Gate of Justice, on both sides of the huge and long Bridge of Hesitation, the entire sea surface is frozen into ice and snow!

There were countless potholes on the ice, and inside were the navy shivering with cold.

They fell into the water because the warship was overturned before. Aokiji had already covered the entire sea surface with his Observation Haki when he took action.

Although it is impossible to avoid everyone, try to avoid accidental injuries.

"Survived."

"We survived!"

“Woo~ That’s great!”

"It's Aokiji-sama coming!"

Seeing the huge waves frozen in front of them turning into an ice wall hundreds of meters high, the naval officers hugged each other with tears in their eyes.

Celebrating the joy of surviving the disaster, I couldn't help but cheer.

"Oh wow, it was so thrilling." Huoshaoshan fell back into one of the only three remaining warships, and his face returned to its usual kindness, as if nothing had happened just now.

pat.

Gion stepped down lightly with his toes, looked at Aokiji who was walking towards them on the ice, smiled slightly and said, "But, Kuzan-chan, you're here?"

"Well~~, I was just bored and wanted to take a walk." Aokiji made up an excuse.

"You're not afraid that Garp's grandson will be killed by us, so you came here to keep an eye on him, right?"

Ghost Spider sheathed his ten long swords, and his long hair fell back on his shoulders. He said, "If that's the case, then you're worrying for nothing. We almost couldn't get back to headquarters."

"Well, whatever."

Aokiji spoke lazily, pulling out a lounge chair and leaning down on the deck. "You guys can continue doing what you need to do. I'm just going out for a walk."

"Your excuse is the same every year." The flying squirrel sighed as he looked at the willful general.

The sailors below were carrying out rescue work. Even though most of the soldiers were good swimmers, they could not withstand the freezing cold.

There are also some people with special abilities in there. If they fall into the sea, they will either wait for rescue or die.

The flying squirrel casually called over a major general, "How's the damage?"

"Yes!" The major general saluted and took out the report he was working on, saying:

"Five warships have completely sunk into the sea! Two are almost scrapped, and the remaining three are currently preparing to continue their bombing missions. Confirmed casualties exceed 20%, and rescue efforts are still ongoing, with estimates of less than 40%!"

"Well, just continue with the current arrangements and get busy." The flying squirrel nodded and spoke calmly.

It’s already very good. If Aokiji hadn’t arrived, it wouldn’t just be a few casualties but all of them would have been killed.

"Is it still necessary to execute the Demon Slaying Order at this point?"

Gion crossed his arms in front of his chest with some dissatisfaction, "Compared to Judicial Island, the guy who attacked us is more worthy of attention."

"I don't recommend you to waste your energy on this."

Aokiji has put on an eye mask and started to relax and take a vacation. "You can't beat that guy."

"Kuzan-chan, aren't you going to take action?"

Gion glanced at him and asked in confusion: "After all, the other party has done this much, you can't be so lazy."

"It has nothing to do with this."

Aokiji responded calmly, "I can't fly, and the weather is not very good now."

"The weather is not good?"

Gion looked up and saw that the dark thunderclouds in the sky had gathered again and silver drizzle continued to fall.

It's just a little rain and thunderclouds, does it have any impact?

At this time, above the thick clouds.

"The effect is okay. It and Raiying each have their own advantages and disadvantages. At least even Aokiji won't be able to deal with it easily." Reiner breathed a sigh of relief.

His strength was almost exhausted, so he sat on the falcon waiting to recover slowly.

It was expected that Aokiji would take action. When the opponent passed through the Gate of Justice, the mage's undead's super-wide range of observation Haki could sense it.

It doesn't matter. As long as Reiner achieves the effect he wants, it's fine. Not long after the Demon Slayer Order started bombarding, he destroyed so many warships.

The opponent's performance this time can be considered a complete failure.

Next, it depends mainly on the performance of others. I hope Zoro and Sanji can successfully comprehend the Armament Haki, otherwise they will have to fight those vice admirals later.

I guess Aokiji is eager for him to come to him.

"Speaking of which, this guy seems a bit haunted." Reiner took out a cigarette and lit it.

I always feel that we will deal with each other often in the future, but there are only these few top-notch experts in this ocean.

As long as you keep moving forward, you will naturally meet those people in the future and sparks will continue to fly.

On the Judicial Island, apart from the main island which was being bombarded by artillery shells, the most lively place was the Tower of Justice.

Not only did the Straw Hat Pirates fight CP9 here, but Franky's family thugs also finally got to meet their boss as they wished.

"Aa ...

"Oh oh, I used the money to buy the treasure tree Adam to steal from these people."

"What! It was the Straw Hat Pirates who hurt you!"

"Ah! The other party is so kind and righteous, it's really touching!"

"So it was the Straw Hat Pirates who brought you here and protected you along the way."

Franky wiped his tearful face and said, "It seems that they are not such bad people. Then let's just write off the matter of injuring you. I forgive them."

"Well, it seems that this is not something we can decide, brother." Jiwei waved his hands and stammered.

"Yes, brother."

Moz nodded in agreement, "After all, we were the ones who robbed them of their money. Strictly speaking, we are the bad guys."

"Nani! It turns out I'm the bad guy!!"

Franky was horrified and immediately fell to the ground with a sad face. "I was so disappointed this week."

After his younger brothers explained in turn, Franky roughly understood the whole story.

Although he was a little angry when he learned that the other party had injured his younger brothers, it was not a big deal after all. Besides, it was indeed his own people who robbed first, so there was nothing to say when they were found at his door.

More importantly, Franky is very grateful to the Straw Hat Pirates for protecting them all the way here.

"In that case! We can't just run away on our own!"

Franky waved his hand and said, "Guys! Come with me to help the Straw Hat Pirates and have a great battle on Judicial Island, Su——Per!!"

“Su——Per!!”

Kive and Moz stood next to Franky, and the three of them struck their inspiring signature poses together.

crunch~~

The door was opened, and as soon as Sanji walked in, he saw Franky performing some strange moves.

"I took the wrong way. Sorry." He said coldly and then slammed the door shut.
