Chapter 634: Died in Battle? Aokiji Perishes?!
"Ara la la~~"
"This situation is a bit grim. Could it be that I'm going to die in battle here?"
Facing the powerful pincer attack from the Divine Dragon and the Heimalin, Kuzan mused to himself with a self-deprecating tone.
At this moment, he had recovered from the elemental transformation form of the 'Ice Crystal Giant Bird Form' back to his normal Human Form. This was because the former's Body Size was too large, not only providing the opponent with a larger target area but also making it more difficult to dodge the Lightning attacks.
He no longer thought about how to defeat these two Super Dangerous Beasts. Instead, he focused all his effort on protecting himself. At the same time, he tried to find a Method to escape this area of the East Blue, while also dragging out the Time as much as possible, waiting for Borsalino's Support.
Because Kuzan understood clearly that with his current Strength, it was unlikely he could defeat two opponents with combined Admiral Level Combat Power. Or rather. He had never heard of such a Strong person existing.
Even the 'Golden Lion' Shiki, who was Strong back then, didn't he still fail to defeat Admiral Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku?
As for how he knew the person coming was Borsalino. Did he even need to think about it?
Before he came, only Sakazuki and Borsalino were at the Star Gate Base. Could the World Government possibly send the former to save him? How was that any different from murder!
"Otherworld Ice Deity, please give up resisting immediately. This Old Man guarantees not to harm your life!"
The Azure Dragon with Pale Hair slowly circled within the Dark Clouds filled with Thunder and Lightning. At the same time, it used its old voice to persuade Kuzan.
"Damn it, what are you saying, Old Dragon Head? This Bastard just injured This King!"
"He must die!"
The Heimalin, shrouded in thick Black Mist in the Sea, was extremely dissatisfied upon hearing the Divine Dragon's words.
"Shut up, Idiot!" The Divine Dragon extended its massive Dragon Head and glared angrily at the other party: "This Matter is decided by This Old Man, you just need to cooperate!"
"You..." The Heimalin was furious, but feeling the Dragon Might emanating from the Divine Dragon, it wisely stopped speaking. It only launched its Offensive against Kuzan with increasing ferocity and madness, as if wanting to pour all the Water of the entire East Blue onto him.
"Hoo—, with Borsalino's Speed, he should arrive here in about half a day..."
But Kuzan paid no attention to the Divine Dragon's words. While emitting thick Armament Haki to desperately resist the violent Raiu raining down from the sky. He simultaneously released Frosty White Cold Air like a Wave with all his might, countering the sweeping Black Tsunami and Tornado. He answered with his Operation!
Kuzan was a Marine Headquarters Admiral under the World Government, how could he possibly surrender and allow himself to be Captured Alive? If he really did that, even if he returned alive in the end, he would have no face to continue serving as an Admiral! The best Result might be to transfer to the Military and Political Department to become an Instructor or something similar. And he would inevitably face various unbearable Gazes from his Colleagues and Cadets.
So, for Kuzan. He could be defeated, he could escape, he could even die in battle, but he absolutely could not be Captured Alive!
The same Principle applied to all Admirals!
"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame This Old Man for being ruthless, Aooo————"
As soon as the Divine Dragon's words fell. A high-pitched, angry Dragon Roar suddenly echoed throughout the Heaven and Earth of the East Blue, which was already a scene of Doomsday.
Immediately, the mountain-like Dragon Might transformed into tangible Pressure and enveloped the area.
"Conqueror's Haki?"
"No, it's just very similar..."
Kuzan thought to himself as he felt the inexplicable Sense of Oppression on his Spirit.
At the same time. From within the thick Dark Clouds, countless slender lines, crystal clear and with a faint White Light flowing on their surface, began to descend. Their number was extremely large. In Kuzan's Line of Sight, they were like a true Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers. Thickly, like snowflakes all over the sky, they fell, rapidly converging towards his Position.
"Strings?!"
Kuzan didn't know what effect these white lines had, but he had no intention of testing them with his Body.
"Ice Land————"
In this Desperate Situation, he unhesitatingly used the Awakened Ougi of the Logia System Ice-Ice Fruit, 'Ice Continent'. Because he felt Danger from those white lines.
[Rumble rumble rumble...]
The next moment. As a torrent of Cold Air, accompanied by faint White Light, surged out from Kuzan's Body towards all directions.
When the Cold Air landed on the surging Sea Surface. It instantly Frozen into a thick Ice Layer, and then, under the shocked Gazes of the Heimalin and the Divine Dragon. The Ice Layer began to continuously accumulate, rise, and ascend.
Before long, massive Icebergs rose from the ground, and the tops of the highest Mountain Peaks even pierced into the Dark Clouds where Electric Flash flickered.
Simultaneously. Violent Cold Wind, mixed with a large amount of flying Wind and Snow, swept in all directions, continuously covering the bare Icebergs with a layer of snow-colored Coat.
Kuzan had actually Manufacturing an Iceberg Mountain Range covered by a Blizzard with his bare hands!
"How could this be?!"
The Heimalin was both shocked and angry as it watched the Black Mist it released being blocked by the Cold Air continuously emitted by those Icebergs.
As a result, its Black Mist could no longer erode the Ice. The white Icebergs and the black Seawater clearly divided the vast East Blue into two distinct areas.
"Those Icebergs are constantly absorbing Energy from Nature. Is he controlling this in secret, or is it the spontaneous effect of the Icebergs?"
The Divine Dragon in the Dark Clouds narrowed its Eyes, observing the magnificent Icebergs one by one.
If it was the former, it would be fine, as a person's Attention would be dispersed. But if it was the latter, it would be somewhat troublesome, because that would Represent that these Icebergs and Blizzards would continue to exist.
This was also the reason why the Heimalin's Black Mist was blocked by the Iceberg's Cold Air.
Although its Black Mist also contained Natural Energy. It needed to 'manually' combine Bloodline Power and Natural Energy to Manufacturing Black Mist Energy within its Body.
However, Kuzan's permanent Icebergs, produced by the Power of Awakening, 'automatically' absorbed Natural Energy and converted it into Low Temperature Cold Air.
There was a huge Gap in Efficiency between the two sides.
If there were only one or two Icebergs, they might not be able to withstand the Heimalin's Black Mist Wave.
But Kuzan, using his full Strength, Manufacturing twelve connected Iceberg Mountain Range in one go.
Then they were permanent natural existences!
Because the current Kuzan could only create them, but could not retract them or make them disappear.
This was not just him. Sakazuki, Borsalino, Crocodile, and all the other Logia Awakening Users were the same.
Therefore, they would not easily use Awakening unless necessary.
Just as Kuzan's 'Ice Continent' took Form.
The white Strings originating from the Divine Dragon's Hair also approached his Body and surroundings.
It was a bit strange, these Strings seemed to have paused for a moment when they were descending earlier.
However, both sides were currently in fierce battle, and no one would pay attention to that Time, which was probably less than a second.
"I am not some Deity, don't underestimate Humans too much! I am Marine Admiral Aokiji!"
Kuzan stood tall on the Iceberg Peak, his pair of sharp, fearless, and resolute Gazes piercing through the howling Wind and Snow.
His somewhat damaged Coat of Justice on his Body flapped loudly in the Cold Wind.
However, despite saying this. As his voice sounded, the entire Iceberg Mountain Range seemed to hear the command of a Deity and shook violently.
The massive amount of Ice within the mountain bodies, like a surging River, carried dense Low Temperature Cold Air, transforming into a mighty Ice Flow Cold Tide, rushing towards the dense rain of lines and the countless Lightning mixed within them.
Of course.
The Heimalin in the distant black Sea was also unwilling to play a supporting role, once again stirring up a violent Black Mist and Tsunami that swept towards the Iceberg Mountain Range.
Even. It began to accelerate continuously in the Waves, using its sharp, long Upper Jaw, and its Talent as a Super Sailfish to its fullest, until it fiercely leaped out of the boiling Sea Surface.
Its entire Fish Body was like a hundred-meter-long supersonic Black Spear, surrounded by bursts of deafening Sound Burst.
Its sharp tip, flashing with Cold Light, pointed directly at Kuzan above.
The Divine Dragon, Kuzan, and the Heimalin, the three sides had completely unleashed their true Anger, holding nothing back.
This made Kuzan's Situation increasingly dangerous; he might truly Perish here...
