"The sky is falling."
A naval soldier muttered to himself, oblivious to the gun falling to the ground.
Pirates declare war on the World Government!
This was unimaginable in the past.
Although the Straw Hat crew members were on different battlefields, they all saw the flames soaring into the sky and the burning flag.
Zoro forced Kaku back with a single slash, grinning, "Well done, Captain."
Sanji kicked Jabra away and lit a cigarette: "That's more like it."
Although Nami, Usopp, and Chopper were shocked by the consequences of their actions, they felt a great sense of triumph and exhilaration.
Robin looked up at the burning flag, tears streaming silently down his face, but a relieved and liberated smile played on his lips.
The nightmare of twenty years seemed to begin to burn away with this flame.
"Do you know what you're doing, Straw Hat Boy?!"
Spandam let out a heart-wrenching scream, his face ashen white. "Don't think you can survive by going against the whole world! You're dead! You're all dead!"
Luffy withdrew his arm, the flames dissipated, and he grinned, revealing his white teeth. His voice carried clearly throughout the surroundings:
"Then let's go."
"No one ever allowed Robin to live before, but now I'm going to take her back to this sea!"
"Who's in favor, and who's opposed?"
If no one speaks, it means no one is objecting.
Luffy squinted at Aokiji.
All we need to do now is defeat this man.
But it's very difficult.
Luffy had already fought Aokiji before, so this seemingly lazy guy was just another one in his eyes...
Terrifyingly strong!
Aokiji finally spoke, rubbing his slightly messy curly hair. His tone remained lazy, but his eyes sharpened: "I knew it would come to this. I showed mercy last time, but that doesn't mean I can let you do whatever you want this time."
His expression turned cold, and the temperature of the surrounding air began to drop sharply.
Luffy met his gaze without fear, his fists covered in dark Armament Haki: "Then let's go!"
As Spandam listened to their conversation, cold sweat poured down his back like a waterfall, and his teeth chattered.
Is what they're saying something I can listen to?
Show mercy?
Did the Navy Admiral show mercy to the pirates?
Is there some kind of underhanded deal going on? Am I going to be murdered to silence me?
The next second, as if to confirm his guess, Aokiji's cold aura suddenly erupted, and Luffy's Conqueror's Haki also charged forward without showing any weakness!
The clash of the auras of two top-tier experts created an invisible shock that caused Spandam, caught in the middle, to roll his eyes back and lose consciousness without uttering a sound.
"puck!"
Almost at the same moment Spandam fell, Aokiji clasped his hands together, and two rapidly spinning ice balls shot out instantly, covering the ground beneath Luffy's feet with solid ice and freezing his feet!
Click!
Click!
The ice layer spread rapidly upwards, and it looked like it was about to completely freeze Luffy!
"It's that trick again."
Luffy snorted coldly, and the surging power within him erupted, causing the black and red Conqueror's Haki lightning wrapped around his body to flash even more intensely!
Click!
Click!
The ice covering him was instantly shattered!
Aokiji seemed to have anticipated this, casually breaking off a huge block of ice from a nearby broken building and instantly shaping it into an ice saber in his hand. With a flash, he appeared in front of Luffy, and the saber, carrying a chilling aura, slashed down!
At the same time, countless sharp ice spears suddenly appeared in the void around Luffy, shooting towards him from all directions like a storm!
"Ice Cube - Tyrannosaurus Beak!"
With a nimble duck, Luffy's rubber body twisted at an incredible angle, dodging most of the ice spears. At the same time, he stretched out his arm and actually caught several ice spears that were shot at him. The power of the Gum-Gum Fruit was activated, and the ice spears were instantly given the properties of rubber.
Chapter 206 Aokiji-sensei is online
"Here you go!"
He swung his arm violently, and the rubberized ice spear was reflected back at an even faster speed!
Aokiji dodged the reflected ice spears with a few quick movements. While still in the air, he waved his hands continuously, unleashing a barrage of ice balls and spikes like a barrage of bullets.
Luffy leaps and darts through a barrage of ice attacks; such an attack could freeze someone solid if they were not careful.
Breaking free requires a considerable amount of domineering spirit and physical strength.
In Luffy's eyes, he has gradually come to understand what the strong are all about in battle.
Physical strength, domineering presence, techniques... ultimately, the most important thing is endurance.
So he seized an opening, leaped up suddenly, and punched Aokiji in the abdomen with his fist wrapped in Armament Haki!
However, the punch did not produce a tangible tactile sensation.
Aokiji's body shattered the moment it was hit, turning into countless crystalline ice shards that scattered down onto the frozen sea below.
"Your use of domineering aura is still far from adequate."
Aokiji's indifferent voice came from the side. The ice rapidly condensed, reforming his form completely unharmed.
"This is because they used Observation Haki to predict your attack and transformed into their own element in advance."
This taught Luffy a lesson.
For top-tier Logia-type Devil Fruit users, simply covering them with Armament Haki is not enough; they need more advanced Haki techniques or faster, more unexpected attacks.
Fighting a powerful opponent like Aokiji was incredibly stressful, but it also gave him a deeper understanding of how to use Haki.
Every enemy is the best teacher, so now Aokiji-sensei has also appeared.
Whoosh!
The moment Aokiji regained his form, he vanished like a ghost. When he reappeared, he was already close to Luffy, his cold hands grabbing Luffy's arms.
Frozen Time Capsule!
A bone-chilling cold instantly spread along the point of contact, and Luffy's arm began to freeze rapidly. The path of Aokiji's Devil Fruit ability development will eventually lead to the freezing stage.
As he rose through the ranks to become a Marine Admiral, Aokiji froze countless pirates and threw many ice blocks into Impel Down, saving him the trouble of using Seastone handcuffs.
However, just as he was about to freeze Luffy, Luffy grinned, his arm muscles bulged, and his flowing Armament Haki surged as if it were alive, forcefully breaking through the frost covering him.
At the same time, his other fist, hidden behind his back, shot out like a venomous snake, striking Aokiji with lightning speed.
Rubber White Pistol!
boom!
Aokiji seemed not to have expected Luffy to be able to counterattack so quickly under those circumstances. He was hit solidly in the chest by the punch and his body flew backward again, crashing into half of the wall.
......
Meanwhile, the battle between the Straw Hat crew and the rest of CP9 was also nearing its end.
Influenced by Captain Luffy's rigorous training, a testament to his relentless drive, and with Vivi's ability to manipulate air currents and disrupt the flow of energy on the Going Merry, the Straw Hat crew's strength has increased significantly, and their teamwork has become increasingly seamless.
The battle between Robin and Kalifa was the first to be decided.
Although Kalifa gained the Bubble-Bubble Fruit ability, making her incredibly slippery, she was still defeated by Robin's ever-changing Flower-Flower Fruit ability and superior combat wisdom.
Countless arms grew out of her body, locking her firmly in place, twisting her joints in the opposite direction, and rendering her unable to fight.
"Well, you win."
Kalifa, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, looked at Robin and suddenly said, "But I want to exchange a piece of information for a chance to live."
Robin frowned slightly: "What information?"
“The Buster Call has already been activated on Enies Lobby,” Kalifa said with difficulty.
Robin's face turned deathly pale instantly, and the horrific scene of Ohara resurfaced like a nightmare.
"What did you say?!"
Has the Buster Call been activated?
Previously, Lucci threatened Robin with a Buster Call against the Straw Hat crew, but she didn't expect him to be so ruthless as to activate a Buster Call directly against Enies Lobby.
Without hesitation, she immediately contacted all her companions through the Den Den Mushi that Vivi had found using the wind to transmit messages, her voice filled with unprecedented anxiety:
"Everyone, we must retreat immediately! The Buster Call has been activated. If we don't leave now, the entire Enies Lobby will be wiped off the map!"
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the massive Gate of Justice, which connects Enies Lobby with the Marine Headquarters and the Deep Sea Prison, slowly opened a crack with a heavy rumble!
Immediately afterwards, ten enormous warships, resembling sea fortresses, sailed out from the crack in the door like bloodthirsty beasts, rapidly approaching Enies Lobby.
Its massive hull was even taller than the Bridge of Hesitation surrounding Enies Lobby!
"The naval fleet is here!"
On the Going Merry, Vivi used her senses, amplified by the wind, to spot the distant fleet immediately. Her voice, transmitted clearly through the wind, reached each of her companions: "Ten giant warships are rapidly approaching!"
Zoro, Sanji, and the others looked at the massive fleet without any fear on their faces; instead, they showed a resolute expression.
The objective of declaring war has been achieved. Now, the task is to survive the elite forces of the Marine Headquarters and the firepower of the Buster Call!
