Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

He noticed that Robin behind him was already hugging her shoulders to keep warm from the cold. She was dressed lightly to begin with, and if the cold continued to penetrate her, she would probably catch a cold.

Chiga's actions warmed Robin's heart. For her, a woman who had been alone for over a decade, Chiga's subtle thoughtfulness was what she longed for most, compared to Aokiji who would occasionally scare her.

After dispelling the chilling aura of the underworld, Chiga spoke to Aokiji.

"This is the power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit). Like your Ice-Ice Fruit, it has the 'ice' attribute, so I wanted to test this ability with you to see just how far it can go."

"I see. Let's go outside now!"

Aokiji nodded. As long as Chiga didn't pay attention to Robin, he would do anything.

So he agreed without even thinking about it.

Chiga understood Aokiji's thoughts. He smiled slightly and said,

"That's perfect. It's all desert outside, so there's no need to worry about affecting other people."

After saying that, Chiga was the first to transform into lightning and disappear from the room.

Aokiji glanced at Robin, then turned and left with Chiga without saying a word.

After the two left, everyone in the room looked at each other, and then all of them turned their attention to Robin.

They drew a conclusion from Chiga and Aokiji's performance just now: the reason why the two generals arrived at the same time might be closely related to Robin!

Especially Aokiji, he barely glanced at anyone except Chika and Robin.

Crocodile now desperately wants Robin to leave his territory. He doesn't want "Pluton" anymore either. With those two around, if he keeps thinking about "Pluton," he'll only end up benefiting the Navy.

Robin knew she couldn't stay there any longer. Under everyone's gaze, she calmly walked out of the room, heading to the edge of the battleground to watch.

Chiga's attitude toward the World Government just now has piqued her interest in him greatly. She wants to witness firsthand the strength of this so-called strongest Marine Admiral.

Chapter 226 Frozen vs. Underworld

Aokiji was unaware that his elaborate plan to keep Chiga away from Robin's sight had failed.

At this moment, he and Chiga stood facing each other in the vast desert.

Although he knew Chiga was incredibly strong, this was his first direct confrontation with him, which stirred up the fighting spirit in the usually lazy Aokiji.

He also wanted to know just how strong Chiga, who was known as the strongest general in the world, really was.

Compared to Aokiji, Chiga looked much more relaxed. He just wanted to test the freezing power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) to what extent, not to compete with Aokiji for the position of Fleet Admiral.

He looked at Aokiji opposite him and said in a relaxed tone,

"Kuzan, just use your abilities to attack me, you don't need to worry about anything else."

Aokiji nodded and then entered battle mode.

He decided to launch a probing attack first. He stretched out a hand towards Chiga and growled,

"Frozen time capsule!"

A burst of cold air erupted from his palm in the form of a shockwave, and the air it passed through formed a series of ice crystals.

Robin arrived at the edge of the two's battle at that moment, and when she saw Aokiji's move, Saul's image flashed through her mind.

The giant admiral was once instantly frozen by Aokiji's move, and she knew very well how terrifying it was.

She couldn't help but look at Chiga, wanting to see how Chiga would respond to this move.

However, Chiga simply stood still, wisps of Yellow Spring chill emanating from around his Rinnegan. Then, a cloud of Yellow Spring chill instantly appeared at the location locked by his gaze, colliding with the cold air emitted by Aokiji.

boom!

Suddenly, a massive iceberg condensed between the two of them and crashed into the desert with a deafening roar.

This iceberg alone is several times larger than the Saul that Robin remembers.

Robin stared blankly at the iceberg for a while, then silently turned around and retreated to a more distant place. She felt that the distance she had just covered was too conservative in the face of these two "monsters".

Aokiji's gaze sharpened as he stared at the iceberg, realizing that Chiga's freezing ability was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

That's what he was thinking, but Aokiji's next attack came right away. He stretched out his arm, his palm shaped like a hand blade, and a huge ice bird shot out from his arm.

"Ice Cube·Storm Pheasant Mouth!"

This time, Qianhe moved. He also stretched out an arm, and the chilling aura of the Yellow Springs coiled around it like invisible snakes.

He clenched his fist tightly, and the chilling energy of the Yellow Springs instantly gathered on his fist before suddenly erupting.

"Ice Emperor Dragon!"

The chilling aura of the underworld that erupted from the Senga Fist condensed into a colossal ice dragon, even larger than the Ice Bird, upon contact with the air. It roared and charged toward the Ice Bird.

The ice bird and the ice dragon fought fiercely. Before long, the ice bird was torn to pieces by the ice dragon, turning into a scattering of ice crystals that dissipated into the air.

The ice dragon did not continue its attack on the blue pheasant. It circled in place, roared to the sky, and then dissipated into wisps of cold air.

Aokiji looked somewhat embarrassed. As a user of the Ice-Ice Fruit, he should have been the overlord of ice-type abilities, but his attacks were neutralized by Chiga in two consecutive attacks, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Chiga spoke up.

"Kuzan, you're still holding back a bit. Unleash your full power!"

Aokiji nodded after hearing this, then bent down and placed his hands on the ground.

This pose was naturally very familiar to Chiga; it was clearly Aokiji's starting stance for using Ice Age, which could also be considered one of his ultimate moves.

However, this Ice Age attack seems to be different from the one shown in the anime, because Aokiji didn't make any special show when he launched this move; it can be said to be instantaneous.

This time, however, a large amount of cold air erupted around Aokiji's body, and a thick layer of ice began to form rapidly on the desert, spreading out of sight.

Robin, who was already standing some distance away from where the two were fighting, suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold. She knew something was wrong and wanted to leave the place quickly, but found that her feet were frozen to the ground.

Swish!

Chiga suddenly appeared next to Robin, and before she could react, he pushed her into the doorway. Then, in a flash, he returned to the place where he was fighting Aokiji.

He had already noticed Robin's arrival, but since she was quite far away, he didn't pay any attention to her.

However, Aokiji's next attack clearly had a very wide range, so he had to take some protective measures for Robin, or it would turn into a tragedy.

After doing all this, Chiga looked around at the desert that had turned into a polar region, and then at Aokiji, who had turned into an ice sculpture opposite him. He muttered to himself,

"Did they use a Devil Fruit to awaken their powers? That's quite a sight."

As Chika predicted, Aokiji is currently in the awakened state of the Ice-Ice Fruit.

In the anime, he fought Akainu on Punk Hazard Island, and the battle permanently changed the island's climate, turning Punk Hazard Island into an island of ice and fire.

That was one manifestation of the two people's Logia-type Devil Fruits awakening.

Because Logia-type Devil Fruits have inherently high minimum requirements, awakening them becomes more difficult than other fruits, making Logia-type fruits seem somewhat awkward in an environment where Haki is ubiquitous in the later stages.

However, once it awakens, it undergoes another qualitative change, truly becoming a "natural disaster." Ordinary domineering power becomes far from sufficient in the face of an awakened Logia-type Devil Fruit.

Just as Chiga was pondering, Aokiji slowly raised his head, which had been frozen in ice. He stared at Chiga and exhaled a wisp of extremely cold air.

“e·hell (Ice River Hell)”.

hum!

The ice on the ground trembled violently, and then wave after wave of conical ice spikes, each as large as an iceberg, emerged.

The temperature in the entire area plummeted, and even vultures flying overhead were frozen into ice sculptures before crumbling into shards of ice.

The vast desert of Alabasta was instantly transformed into a sea of ​​ice.

In the heart of the icy sea, an ice sculpture in the shape of Chiga stands in place.

Aokiji got up from the ground and glanced smugly at the Chiga ice sculpture opposite him. Just as he was about to deactivate his ability, Chiga's right horn suddenly emitted a milky white light, and the solid ice enveloping his body turned into strands of icy blue energy that flowed into his right horn.

Chiga returned to normal, except for the right horn on his forehead, which was now shimmering with an icy blue light.

Aokiji was stunned by what was happening before his eyes. His Devil Fruit awakening was neutralized by Chiga just like that.

Chika shook her neck, smiled at Aokiji opposite her, and then, just like Aokiji, placed her hands on the ground.

A blinding ice-blue light burst forth from his right horn, and the surrounding temperature plummeted once again.

But that wasn't enough. A large amount of Netherworld cold air surged into Qianhe's hands, and the temperature around his body dropped to its lowest point. This gave Aokiji a strange feeling, as if the space around Qianhe had frozen.

Chiga lowered his head and said in a deep voice,

"Mahapadma!"

Chapter 227 Mahaprabhāṣma

A torrent of chilling Yellow Springs energy surged forth from Qianhe's palms like ocean waves, instantly freezing everything around him.

The entire world had been transformed into a frozen wasteland. Opposite Chika was Aokiji, who was encased in ice, his face still bearing an expression of disbelief.

That's right, he, the Ice-Ice Fruit user, was actually frozen!

Logically, as a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, he should have been able to assimilate with the ice around his body and escape, but Aokiji lost consciousness the moment he was frozen.

To be precise, Aokiji's thoughts stagnated, stagnating along with time.

Mahapadma, as the ultimate move of Queen Esdeath in a certain "healing anime", has reached the pinnacle of ice-type abilities, which is absolute zero, freezing time and space.

Chiga just used the Takao-san Reizo that comes with him in the right corner to absorb Aokiji's Ice River Hell and combine it with the Yellow Springs Cold Qi, thus achieving the same effect as Mahapadma.

Once caught in this trap, you'll immediately find yourself at Chiga's mercy.

If Chiga wanted to kill Aokiji, he only needed to wave his hand, and Aokiji would turn into ice shards and completely dissipate, just like the surrounding ice. Even if he could transform into an elemental form, it wouldn't matter.

Of course, Chiga would never kill Aokiji. Putting aside the fact that Aokiji was his good colleague, he also made a great contribution to the birth of Mahabhadma.

A purple light flashed in the eyes of Samsara, and the boundless sea of ​​ice transformed into the chilling air of the underworld, rising into the sky and finally disappearing as if it had never existed.

Aokiji also broke free from the ice. He knelt on the ground, panting heavily. Although he was unconscious while frozen, he was now fully aware that he had just escaped death.

At that moment, Chiga teleported in front of Aokiji and reached out a hand to help him up.

Before Chika could speak, Aokiji said directly,

"You are a complete monster!"

He was completely crushed from start to finish in this battle. Aokiji only knew that Chiga was strong before, but he never expected him to be this strong. He was stronger than humans!

Even none of the Four Emperors could have pushed him to this point. He couldn't help but think that Chika might be able to take on four of the Four Emperors' crews single-handedly now.
